Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
GCn20 replied to Atomic's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Marty York was a former Sportsnet CFL guy for many years. His epically poor track record of making up rumors and hilariously poor prognosticating eventually embarrassed Sportsnet so much that they had to let him go. Not before he completely destroyed Sportsnet CFL coverage so badly that the company had to give it up almost entirely because of York destroying all credibility. He is EASILY the worst CFL journalist of all time. -

Unfortunately Eli is not one of them. I banged his drum for a long time to be starting over Kola, he just fails to seize any chances given to him. -
Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread

I am kind of glad we have it this year tbh. An extra week to prep in a new offensive system for a QB that has not had a start since early last year with a couple of new receivers can't hurt. -

I agree, Eli has to win the job and he clearly has not done so. -

Definitely. Milligan was burned a ton in coverage all year but had a ton of interceptions from QBs throwing the ball right into his chest. He wasn't taking balls away in coverage like Ford did, he just happened to be standing in the right spot at the right time for a tip from the DL, or an errant throw. -
I hate seeing these institutions go down but I am part of the problem, passed by a 1000x and smiled at the place and the memories but never stopped.

Always 2 sides to the story I guess. Still very tragic tho.

The media was shocked because they are lazy and one of their colleagues told them Myron played well, and they jumped aboard the Myron Mitchell express. Fans surprised? Nope...we pay attention. -
Sean Whyte played a significant amount of time under a head coach that would not attempt anything longer than 45 yards.

We should have just gave him the job. -

Don't get me wrong, I'm disappointed in a couple moves as well but overall I like it. I don't think we needed to re-invent the wheel with our roster. The biggest changes we made this offseason will pay off once Logan gets healthy and Hogan gets his feet under him. We had a darn good team last year, and appears we will have one again, Our biggest flaws are mostly addressed and imo this is the best looking PR we've had break camp in a while. I get that Thomas and Wilson appear to be weird keeps this year, but at the same time if their play time is reduced I see no problem with keeping either around. -

Pretty sure that Munier-Bailey will be on our roster sooner rather than later. -

I'm not seeing a lot to bash either. People are complaining about the lack of roster turnover without actually acknowledging that we have had a lot of roster turnover in the past couple of years. Always lots of emotion on cut down day tho, as guys that we have grown attached to from our own internal hype get let go and then we find out we were mostly wrong about them as they never make another team either. -
Return game is another reason that D. Mitchell may get the nod. He's no Janarion Grant, but he is miles better than his M. Mitchell.
-
We've already paid a lot of his salary. What's left owing is basically minimum contract or even slighty less. At this point his salary is a non factor.
-
D.Mitchell definitely needs to up his game a lot, but it would take a pretty big performance from someone else to see him cut imo.

As he should be...you don't play until you are 49 years old without being hard on yourself, and being able to look at yourself from the outside in. -

I think game action and TC action both count for sure, but we have the games for a reason. Yes, we've sat guys that needed to knock the rust off, a mistake that looks like it hasn't been repeated this year. Not every player can play his way onto the team in preseason game action but some definitely can and that is especially true in the trenches. The skill guys can be assessed pretty well without game action, but it's tough to see what kind of motors you have competing in your trenches in practice. -

Camps have a second game for a reason and it is ridiculous for people to assume that anything is set in stone other than our star level players. Some vets are at home because we know what they bring to the table already, and some to shield them from injury, but players play themselves onto and off of the team all the time in game action (including this one) in preseason on every team every year. -
As someone who has owned restaurants and mobile concessions, I cannot recommend enough that you avoid the dine in restaurant model enough. Restaurants are the one business I would never recommend anyone to get into. You can do everything right and still fail. There is so little margin for error because margins are so low. I had a restaurant that was doing around a million a year in business and it was profitable, but it was far from a gold mine. After all was said and done, with my wife and I working full time we figured it out that we were making about 9 bucks an hour for our time.

Booming punts is not something you really want to see often because most guys CAN actually outkick coverage if were to let them, however, when we are punting from our end zone and simply can't give up the single because of the scoreboard it would be really nice to have a guy who can uncork a 60 yarder and just pray that our cover team can do something about the return. -

Jake began the season getting the majority of reps and that completely reversed by the end of the season. IF Lawson comes back with the same game he left with, I would think that Jake will have a much reduced role in our defence. Of course, that likely takes a few weeks as Lawson just got back. Lawson will 100% have to show he is fully recovered, however, I see no indication anywhere that he isn't. Yea....not willing to hand anyone a job yet, but if he just does what he did last game I can't see how we can justify keeping Sheahan over him. -

Yep..so was the play of his OL and his OCs playcalling. Certainly not all on Zac.
