Hamilton is looking kind of like the Reinebold era Bombers. Bunch of guys from the GM's last team and a bunch of guys in general that have their best days behind them.

Johnny Augustine just cost Hamilton a possession with a special teams gaffe.

It's amazing how many passes VAJ throws without setting his feet. And I guarantee you that will drive Dickenson insane.

Yeah for 22 snaps on designated players. They have no Designated Nationalized Americans and Rourke isn't designated either to be subbed as the Canadian for that.

Sanchez main point on anything QB related is how they have so much pressure on them to win. Have heard that point on 3 different QB's tonight.

Who?

I don't think he knows anything about the CFL. I suppose that could be entertaining but also could be a real waste of time for actual fans of the Canadian game. What happens to BC during the game if Rourke gets injured? They are counting him as a Canadian starter. My belief is that if he went out due to injury they'd have to replace an American receiver with a Canadian receiver/FB or bench an American OL for the Canadian 6th OL (also starting 4 American OL).

He's a nice system QB with Dinwiddie.

So many forfeits in AAAA league last year. The tiering model is so broken. Forced every AAAA school up into top league because everyone was trying to avoid being in same league with OP, St Paul's, Dakota. Nobody wants to lose by 70. It was a lot better when the big schools didn't have JV teams but a top division team and a lower division team instead. In that era when I played and then coached, never heard of a forfeit. Now it's like 6 a season because teams literally get destroyed playing these monster South Winnipeg programs.

Absolutely they do. Everyone in the city with stable coaches does. Rule is kids are locked in where they go to school for Grade 10 unless they move residence to a different catchment. Otherwise if they change schools, have to sit out a year/go through an appeal process that rarely rules in favour of the athlete before they can play any sport at the new school. Those top 3 Winnipeg schools in LRSD and PTSD (Dakota, OP, Vincent Massey) have more kids outside of catchment than inside on their football team. By a lot. Kids at schools without football can't transfer out after the start of their Grade 10 year either to play football at a new school. Wade Miller is really pushing more of a co-op model to allow more schools to participate...which in MHSAA is only allowed for very small schools...and dilute the pool of players for Dakota, OP, Vincent Massey. WHSFL makes it's own rules through Winnipeg School Division so it is possible to do something different than MHSAA would say for other sports. Manitoba is very weird in how our high school sports are structured and really discourage any hope of participating in a sport that doesn't exist at your school.....especially when basically all our team sports run the top programs through high schools, and outside of the city high schools are really the only way you can do anything but hockey. All the rules slow down recruiting, but also encourage kids to go to the super schools for their sport rather than stay and build competitive programs in their area of the city. Most other provinces have spring club leagues that take on that role and let kids play at closest available school to their home.

Everyone has a shelf life for sure. Wolitarsky's salary was not bad though. Our depth of Canadians on O is pretty bleak so even if we got 9-10 games out of him would have been worth it IMO. We're Nic Demski waking up with a stiff neck away from starting a 2025 5th round pick at slot.

Bombers don't have an ability to just hide every Manitoba player. Sask has way more participation. Their high school leagues are better at ensuring more schools can compete. Our Winnipeg league is built on what the top 4-6 programs want and they don't really care if that means 24 programs can exist in those conditions or if doing something a bit different means 36 schools could run programs. Midget league was killed by WHSFL so better make sure everyone who wants to can play ball.

Dyce needs a math teacher to help him with when to use his timeouts. HINT: Use them when they allow you to score points.

Thing is they've had the same issue with penalties and special teams the whole time he's been there. I guess they've decided to try to just outscore it. They also have a bunch of way underperforming vets. Dedmon literally looks like he's transforming into Nik Lewis more each time he steps on the field.

See too much of "BOYD JR" name plate.

No catch. Dedmon might eat that football.

Or if we let him take over last year.

He's snapping like a 10 year old who did it for the first time yesterday.

When a pro football centre snaps with his head down.

Trevor Harris can't make some of the throws he's made 10 times in this game once in his dreams.

Think the offense can will them to 7-8 wins even with the ST and D giving away 250 yards for free every game. Brown's got the best arm in this league right now by a long shot. Only guys in his league are Collaros and Rourke.

Everyone laughing about giving the starting kicker reps in pre-season. How many botched exchanges in this one?

Rick Campbell's special teams looking good.

Brutal read there to throw that post. Don't think ball is in with possession....he has to be on the ground to possess it.
