Blue-urns

Stuart has soo much upside, sam/lber body with the athleticism and raw tools to run with wrs and cover. I’d love to have him on the ar early to play teams and develop as an actual db. He was a great sleeper pick.
Idk if we’d have to hide him. teams don’t usually poach rookie drafted canadians if you pr em. idr the last pr poach at all.
Pressure should be on both hallett and kelly. Ball really over achieved last year and had some flashes. Kid plays his heart out.

Probably the best example of a guy who flew under the radar of posters but turned into a ******* good player is Clarence Denmark.

Agree - He won both agility drills at the cfl combine this year posting a 4.01 shuttle/6.82 3-cone which for a 223 lb’r is impressive.

You should root for him - I am! Quick feet and good eyes!

For anyone interested.
Not rooting for - just familiar with his play and think projects well.

My first post so go easy on responses:) I have to agree about draft pick Stuart (#7 - on D) - frankly surprised he hasn’t gotten more mentions from his camp - disagree with early comments he’s just a ST body. My nephew played with him at Mac so I’ve seen many of his college games and he’s a legitimate top tier stud - elite in coverage, in the box and he tackles like a beast.
Here’s a theory - because he’s a non counter - wonder if JY is hiding him with the 3’s until roster trimming is done. Apparently JY talks to him regularly - would be surprised if he isn’t rostered as he’s been taking reps with the 1’s on punt, and regular D reps with the 2’s and done well. With his size (220+) and movement he presents a ton of options - Boundary Safety, Half, SAM or WSLB. My nephew sent a great cut up of Stuart’s camp performance (pretty impressive: multiple picks/PBU’s and dominant in battle drills) - I’d post it but I don’t know how to upload video attachments?

pace is a good get.

Turns out Warren Burrell has another connection to the club.

It’s too long ago now to recount every detail, but Warren Burrell does remember this: Milt Stegall always had some gems to tell about Winnipeg, the Blue Bombers and playing in the Canadian Football Le

MOS and Younger decide who plays where. PERIOD. If Walters is giving orders on who plays where and when he should be fired. That would be gross over reach by a GM. Just to play devils advocate though, if KW did order MOS to move Kramdi to S, then isn't possible KW is ordering him to start extra NATs.
That seems laughable to think a GM would do that doesnt it?
If we are trotting out Corcoran game 1 that is an epic failure by both KW and KC.

It’s starting to feel like, a week in, it’s business as usual and we haven’t learned much. Still looks like we’re getting ready to trot out 8-9 Canadians for no reason and value experience above everything. It’s hard for these rookie Americans to get experience because irs a revolving door for them by design - we don’t give them experience and then fault them for not having experience.
There’s genuinely no reason someone like Gavin Cobb or Joey Corcoran should be taking meaningful reps with the first team at this point in camp. If you can’t find an American rookie that can perform better than 2* Canadian prospects, what’s the scouting department even doing? And the lot default “they’re all starters and the Canadian provides roster flexibility” thing is so hollow, we don’t need the flexibility. We don’t even use the flexibility we currently give ourselves.

In Condell's system it's tough to label receivers as 1,2,3 etc. You have to be able to run every route and each receiver will get a variety of opportunities because there is a lot of variations on the route trees based off the defensive call. I mean every OC does that to some extent but Condell is very good at it. He's good at getting mismatches and getting his receivers isolated in space. Watch White the past few years as an example.

I am paying a lot more attention to this camp because of the lack of Jets playoff hockey and a perhaps misguided hope that this year will be better than last season with a new attitude and a new O coordinator, and a new center...and a massive upgraded Jake on our DL...anyway...getting very excited for this season. LFG!!

Yeah....Dixon and Jenkins look to be front runners but nobody is really separating themselves from the pack. Bailey needs to be played, you can just see he has multi tool talent and a motor that just goes...he was 100 percent all day today...and thats par for the course. One interesting guy I noticed and like is that Michael Fletcher...think he a bit knicked with a thigh issue but powered thru it. Even at less than 100 percent he just moves and reacts real well for a big dude and could see him useful off the edge and inside...For me he was one the guys that first popped out for me and he has a interesting skill set and a long but sturdy body. I could see him opening eyes in the pre-season games
What also popped out for me right away...and this isnt good...Save for White..Pokey..Demski..Neild..Clercius we have a real buttload of crap and WR currently. And if we are going to go 3 nationals...god help us...pray for ZC cause it will be ugly.
Some of the first unit work today...With Demski and Pokey missing mind you had combos of Corcorran...Cobb...that Fredricksen (who has zero explosion and can barely get separation for a big guy and no speed) and I think the rookie Derosier??....puuuuke....Other than Cobb the other 3 are not pro receiver quality and do absolute nothing with the ball once they get it....Keshaun Smith, and TJ Harris look like once acclimated could be quite useful, and possibly singer...But the rest see ya later..if somebody doesnt step up...or if we break camp with some injury issues....we have worst unit in league easily....again
And if being honest after Demski....Clercius and Neild the next best guy, and one who looks to have best upside is that Joshua Jack...Daniels cant be and shouldn't be expected to do much other than big packages and goaline area stuff where he just needs to chip block and seperate from the line and just win a jump ball or take a quick hot pass and head north
Yeah...Griffin is or should be the SAM...Dude can ball...he's athletic enough to cover top receivers in man and he's built to punish in the run game...plus he is very assignment sound. Kramdi at safety and kind qb'ng from there if he as smart as they claim is the best use of him.
Allen not sure if they see him as the corner...or the swiss army guy rotating in with 2 safety sets and dime work. Major Williams and Burrel stood out to me at DB...I think they are 1/2 right now for the vacant spot
forgot to mention...That Mazzccua I can see PR'd...Dude is just a beast...and a thug...he would be a bone jarring mauler of a guard...I liked watching him
A side of the oline with Eli..him and Broxton woukd be a RB's wet dream with paved roadwork all day long

Yeah watching some the one on one drills today u definitely see his power when he locked into his guy...guys a beast. And he is noticeably more agile
Big Stan looked good..as Usual...hard to imagine he pushing 40...If he is even 80 percent of prime Stan him and Broxton gonna be a force

Gabe Wallace apparently started camp last year at 345 and ballooned as the season went on. This year, he's apparently come into camp at 325 after undergoing a strict offseason regimen. Neufeld says he's one of the strongest/most powerful guys he's ever seen.

Can't read too much into a couple of reported reps. Every DE ever gets swallowed up and heck of a lot more than they dominate. All QBs would be in the hospital if this weren't the case. He will definitely be rotational for all this season though. The last two really good NAT DE's I have in recent memory are Ricky Foley and Mathieu Betts and both were rotational until year 3 of their careers.

It has been confirmed in recent interviews and reports that the coordinators decide who starts and where and that OSH fills the rest of the game day roster. Bottom line is that it is still OSH's responsibility, but his coordinators have much more say than you are suggesting. I agree that we should start the minimum number of NATs as possible unless some guys really truly win the job that happen to be NATs.

Yep. Id hope that means Allen sides back to corner, Or that Griffin does.
DB is going to see some really tough cuts. WIth a DI used at Lber for teams, K, and KR, the last spot really should be on the DL if not a WR. But we also have Allen, Woodbey, and Griffin with out a roster spot in that case. I love Ayers, but Woodbey can do soo much more on D. And Griffin is an excellent db. I wouldn't want to lose either for Ayers. Maybe not even Allen given the volume of league starters and NI talent we have at Lber.
I dont think we can translate camp to final roster intentions with the mafia, and it's still early. I think health and who is willing to sit on the PR will dictate a lot of what we do breaking camp.

Best place for him really...He can come down in support and be over the top help....and survey the defence...At SAM he is not ideal and was horrible in coverage and isnt the best tackler....he's good in the scrum and crashing into the box...but that can be incorporated from a safety role...especially when we tend to run a strong and free safety kinda set up
You want one your best all around guys, Guys who can cover 1 on 1 and are strong tacklers and can get off blocks....Kramdi ain't that

So far this guy says all the right things. https://www.bluebombers.com/2026/05/14/taylor-elgersma-may-14/

still amazes me that some are convinced it's one or the other...
unfortunately it's true... CFL is a stepping stone for almost everyone... and the CFL would be smart to position itself as the best stepping stone available to get the best talent... obviously some guys are self-aware enough to know it's the best they'll do and that's great too.... but I'd rather see one or two seasons out of guys like Dee Alford and Alex Singleton than none at all...

That would be insane if they did it again in a stadium this size. I've got 1 game in June vs Edm, 2 back to back at the end of July, and Banjo Bowl... So far. Looking into using my remaining vacation days for the fiscal year on an August trip home for another game ... Better hustle on the tix i suppose.

Agreed with the caveat that salary is also a consideration though. If two guys are near equal but one guy is making 100k a season more than the other, you might take a very slight downgrade to free up cash if it is close enough of a gap.
