Wonder if Britton retired or “retired” although he wouldn’t be a counter either way so I’m assuming it’s legit

It’s actually sad how you and Old Man Nickel are so butthurt by literally anything I post. It was a joke and off goes Al with his “OMG and he’s a mod” whining and off goes GCn with his “he thinks he’s smarter than everyone” proclamations. Do you notice how everyone else was able to either just laugh, shake their head or ignore it and move on? Instead of putting a whole bunch of implications that don’t exist into the words I wrote? I don’t know if you two are just completely incapable of letting anything I post NOT get to you, but maybe you should try. Like I messaged Al earlier, I’m an “administrator” here because I helped (barely) Rich found this place however long ago we started it and if you were to ask any of the people (Rich, Joey, Mark, NOT me) who actually put in their time and effort keeping this site tidy, they’d probably tell you I don’t even know where the ModCP is to be able to do any moderator duties. Not once in ten plus years here have I ever leaned on anyone and tried to act like an authority, so I have no idea where his weird old ass gets that idea. And I guess I’ll just say this part out loud - I stopped being in tune with the goings on and day-to-day of this team a couple years ago, I don’t know sweet **** all about most things other than when I have a few spare minutes to read some articles so whatever “holier than thou” attitude you think I’m toting around … it ain’t there. I do see it from you with your constant arguing like you know everything about the whole Walters vs. O’Shea dilemma and I do think it’s funny that you are just about the only one here who doesn’t notice it, but hey … that’s not my business. anyways. Curious to see who breaks camp tomorrow. Go Bombers. Grey Cup in 2026.

I had a leftover day of vacation to use up so I rolled through the stadium today and concentrated on the offense Bryan Randall appears to have a leg up on the QB2 job, Darryl Hackney looked awful in skelly and throws an ugly ball Onterrio Smith looks like a total pro out there in the backfield, Ramonce Taylor looked good in limited action but seemed to disappear halfway through practice Justin Surrency catches everything thrown his way and seems to be a lock to make the team, he even made Roc Carmichael look silly on every rep they matched up for. Antonio Brown can run by everyone on the field but on one rep across the middle, Dwayne Slay lined him up and made him pay for it Tyson Pencer is a mountain of a man out there and will be a sure-fire ratio breaker at tackle if he keeps this up We’re going to the Grey Cup

It hi I assume we’re probably going to use Globals as our DL rotation if we can, but we should have a few of those spots we can be flexible with since I don’t really see a need to use a single one on offense between Clercius, Daniels, Cobb and Peterson

What a bizarre stream of posts. You think this pick was entirely Walters driven? Because of a one minute clip? Walters is the facilitator on draft day as the guy in the GM seat, but to think he just dreamt this up without significant input from the coaching staff is insane. Think about this for one second: we just hired a new OC who has a decent history of using this type of player, we have never sought out this type of player until now and people are suggesting it’s just pure coincidence that we went out and got a guy like Daniels? I don’t know why people are so dead set on this “it’s gonna be one or the other” thing. They all work together. I have no idea how to feel about the Daniels pick but I know it wasn’t just Walters and the scouts cooking up the bright idea of snagging a tight end. That desire for sure came with a great deal of input from the coaching staff.

I just don’t see it, that doesn’t make sense to me. If you want an OL, draft an OL. Hard to say the Bombers don’t utilize a FB/TE, the game is changing and Condell has often used a FB/TE. Hell, Hamilton picked Kalinic in the exact same spot in the draft when Condell was the OC there. I can’t get to the logic that if you want an OL, you trade up there to draft a total project with terrible testing numbers that would give you zero indication whatsoever he’s capable of moving to OL when you could just do exactly what they did with their next pick and draft a futures OL like Cline.

honestly, as is normally the case … I’m happy with the overall class even if the order we chose in didn’t make sense to me (the fan without a clue) You give me Nuer, Cline, Stuart in the first three picks and I completely don’t care about the weird Daniels pick in the third round Britton is interesting … some Eli vibes there Really like the Cline pick, that was who I wanted at 13 … didn’t understand missing the run on WR until we picked Britton Curious (but not optimistic) about how we deploy that TE

I think what this year’s draft can teach us for once and for all is that 3DN doesn’t have a hot clue what the **** they’re talking about They generate almost all of the speculation on draft boards and they’re not even close this year, hence why all the fans are confused

I don’t think the cost to move to 1 is anywhere near the same stratosphere as what JBR suggests Not entirely convinced Ottawa would even go OL at 1

Pavia is such a little weasel, I’m really hopeful he doesn’t come here. Incredibly difficult guy to root for. In other news, sounds like the Bombers met with Vaccaro in person on Saturday. I really do wonder if we’re going to make a move tomorrow to try and move up a few spots.

lol you, me and literally every other literate person here all know that’s not all you said. You’ve been shitting on this guy for months because his career goals don’t align with your fandom. I hope you can learn to cheer for him and anyone else who chooses to manage their own career

It’s crazy, because if anything I think he’s underhyped at this point. We all really have no idea, he’s raw and will need coaching but the NFL liked his tools and I don’t see why we wouldn’t either. But because the majority of us are butthurt, we just expect him to suck. He might but he also might be our next QB1. We’re so far removed from what he’s been working on to have any idea if he’s good or not.

When’s season ticket pickup day

Using the app and reducing the font size did wonders for me personally

Kory Sheets? In what way?

I don’t see how Woodbey and Griffin both get on the roster this year unless we use the roster rules appropriately … or start Kramdi at safety, I guess. We have 4 DA spots, two of them should be Castillo and Vaval and then you gotta HOPE one of them is on the DL …

“Joseph” Taylor is that little guy that played for the Patriots half a decade ago, JJ Taylor. Think he’s 5’5

lol I’m going to explain it to you even though I know it’s going to fall on deaf, inbred ears As a fan of a team that had it happen, your depth getting pilfered is going to be your undoing. You also fail to mention that you lost a Canadian starter, lost a very big piece to the NFL (Meyers), suddenly need a Global to replace a strong contributing one, Nield was a borderline starter and a strong depth add at worst, your starting DT retired and you paid a LOT more money to the same guys moving from 2025 to 2026. Those things all matter. I seen it happen to us. Anyways, good seeing you again Migs

I mean, realistically there was a lot of confusion surrounding the cap amount and there are definitely a few teams who got caught waiting too long to use it but at the same time, I’m glad he didn’t just spend it to spend it last year. Must’ve been tempting in a Grey Cup hosting year but who was out there that would’ve made a difference? I suppose you could argue maybe a Eugene Lewis type player but with Hogan calling plays, we were ****** anyways. Our roster and its usage was not anywhere near good enough last year. We were in tough the moment we decided to sign that horrendous foursome of Mitchell, Vaughters, Logan and Jones.

The DT we have added to our negotiation list are very interesting and it’s pretty obvious by the amount of them we have added this year that we’re recruiting hard there Anterio Thompson added on the 19th … 6’4 310 James Thompson Jr added on the 23rd … 6’6 305 Kevionta Spears added on the 28th … 6’4 315 Casey Rogers added on the 23rd … 6’5 305 Dominic Bailey added on the 16th … 6’3 300 Looks like they’re recruiting a specific build type of here and not looking at the fire hydrant guys we have in the past. Getting longer. Like to see that a lot.

Dejon Brissett to Calgary

I would imagine Shay and Smith will get reps otherwise I’d be starting to ask why we drafted them. But hey, I’m not the coach.

We already have most of these replacement pieces in house. Shay, Kelly, Smith, Bailey, Novak, Ball Griffin was resigned

I don’t necessarily think he’s done but I think the big impacts have been made. Still a couple interesting pieces I’d love to see us in the mix for. Charleston Rambo is one that I do really want to see … feels like a guy on the come up and he would jive well with what we already have here. Plus, you could theoretically give him the offensive DA spot to let him sub in for Nield/Clercius or hell even Brady 25 snaps a game. Blessman Ta’ala the global DT out of Ottawa would be another big piece. Wouldn’t imagine he’s going to return after they signed Baldonado and I know the two globals on the DL may redundant but I like him as a depth rotational piece for sure, even if you just use him instead of Kornelson. Wouldn’t mind Ciraco to compete, also wouldn’t hate to see us acquire Sean Thomas-Erlington … think Tommy Condell knows him quite well if I’m remembering right.

Stan, Willie, Kyrie or Ceresna could be for us. It’s 3 with one team or 5 with any team.
