So if a STer can't go, you dress another rookie STer instead of say a WR/KR (Cobb) or a DE (Bailey)? Makes sense. Not.

You know what would be nice to see, defensive reps for Shay and Smith. I mean Shay was touted as a likely #1 overall pick, who could step in and play. Is he not ready or is this just same old, same old from our coaching staff? Long term, would we not benefit from him getting reps over say Gauthier, Thomas, Kornelson etc?

So we lose in a row by a combined score of 78-36, with both loses being by 21 points and MOS is like: Frustrating

Some changes would be nice for example, a db like Allen in for Bridges or J.Jones in for T.Jones. Perhaps Griffin for Kramdi. Mitchell for Case. I expect no changes however.

I'm not sure we see Manu this year. Lions drafted him knowing he was raw (at least from an NFL perspective) but with huge upside. Apparently they feel he's made significant strides over the past year.

I don't know if he has the right attitude. Plus would he know the playbook? How would he adjust to the waggle?

Taylor Powell is a free agent this off season, I believe.

So the comic strip Crankshaft is going to be running a storyline between July 21st and August 17th about the characters coming to Winnipeg for a game. MOS will be in a few of the strips. Story in today's Free Press. Anyhow thought it was cool.

"I'd like to thank God for the opportunity to start again. Its a blessing. I have also been reading comments from fans online and I need to say shut the front door to all those haters."

This is not meant to dump on MOS but he's in his 11th year here as head coach. That is a long time in any sport. Seriously how many coaches in the CFL last 10+ years.

I hear he has already surpassed Mitchell on the depth chart.

You can bring in players after TC ends?

Rigmaiden left in 2021. Was it his work from 2018-2020 that put us over the top and now we're seeing the result of a slow decline?

I hear a five year extension with a major raise is coming. Plus a free house in Tuxedo.

Schiltz is third string in Ottawa so you might get him cheap but I don't think he's better than what we have.

24 TD passes, 21 Ints, the past two seasons for Zach. Walters should not have extended him before this season.

Kolo got $150,000 according to Hodge. https://3downnation.com/2024/01/29/winnipeg-blue-bombers-sign-centre-chris-kolankowski-to-two-year-extension/#:~:text=The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have,part of his new deal. Can't find a salary on Jake but let's say $120,000. That's $270,000 for the two. Jake's role could be filled with an entry level Canadian or American, so let's say that 40k you could save. A C draft pick would do better than Kolo, for fun let's say they drafted Fortin who starts for Calgary. That's what 70k saved. So between the 2 that's a potential 110 k saved.

Worst wr group in the CFL. Linebackers average at best, Dline is it the worst? Bottom 3? Is the OC over his head?

I think the worst thing is we as fans feel we are headed to a rebuild but the powers that be do not seem too.

Flowers to whomever decided to Call him London Bridges.

The whole night was ****

This is a great group of smart, hard working players

D needs to be better

Lapo and Smith is a positive
