Injured. Where the hell is Jake? Say, where is Booch?

Josh Hagerty's stock just rose.

MOS relied on trickery a lot more before the team started to get good around 2017, after that he dropped the tricks and beat them with better football. If I'm not mistaken he acted as his own STC for the first few years, where a lot of the trick plays were deployed.

No worries about GC trickery, Antwi the one player that has successfully executed that play was traded to the Stamps. If the Stamps make the GC bigger tricks will have gone down. "Penalty, somewhere over there."

I think Gavin Cobb is the backup.

MUNIER-BAILEY, the Global DE has missed multiple days of TC so far, sounds like they went out of their way to bring him in so hopefully they'll find a way to keep him around to give him another shot at making the team later on.

Can't remember exactly how CFL+ works but I think you need a VPN to disguise your location if watching within Canada.

Re-watching game #18 against BC in 2023 on Waders27 YouTube channel, that was the rubber match after each team blew the other out on the road earlier in the season. The Bomber pass rush was incredible, Willie, Jeffcoat, Rickie Walker, Jake and Lawson took turns creating incredible heat on VA throughout the game. Huge contrast to what we saw last season and stunning proof they moved on from Jeffcoat way too early, pay him equal to Willie and they could have gotten another 2-3 years service out of him. He was the driving force on that D-line, every other player benefited from his intensity and work ethic. They spent big money on Lawler and replaced Jeffcoat with a couple of random marshmallows.

Apparently Myron Mitchell looking great, Dillon Mitchell not bringing much.

Maybe, could be he asked for one last tryout, he's been in the league since 2022, so why was he at rookie camp?

WINNIPEG, MB., May 10, 2025 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the following transactions: Released from roster: American defensive back Marque Collins National defensive lineman Brock Gowanlock

No reason to pre-determine, let them all compete, see who looks best in the 2 preseason games, could be Patterson comes out on top. That sounds fair.

Not for an entire game, they are limited to a snap count and they are also tied to a Designated National Player. Sure other teams have found ways to abuse the rule but it's pretty obvious MOS as a member of the rules committee is not going to validate their interpretation.

Apparently it's already been reduced to one game for some reason, the normal penalty is two games.

Why in the world would Zach decide to forgo an appeal? Force them to change policy, plus the second game of the season against BC could turn out to be pivotal in the long run. The rules are confusing so maybe not, but sets them up for a mid-game ratio adjustment nonetheless. Kyrie would be a better candidate for this designation than Stanley. Designated Nationalized Americans replacing Designated National Players for up to 25 Snaps National player and his backups for up to 25 snaps. As Clubs are aware, these snaps will be tracked by League personnel and Club staff may follow. Once the Club has reached its 25-snap quota on either offence or defence, they will no longer be able to substitute in this manner for the remainder of the game. If they violate this rule, the Commissioner will have discretion to impose fines to the Club, General Manager, Head Coach as well as having the option to take away draft picks. The designated Nationalized American will not start the game and will also be identified as DA. There can be one of these players on offence and one on defence. This Designated Nationalized American will be identified on the depth chart. After the first play on his side of the ball, this player may enter the game for any American player and play the remainder of the game and/or play in place of the designated National player or his backups for up to 25 snaps.

Not really, under the Nationalized American rule that would put Stanley on a 23 play snap count, which Natl. do you propose throwing in at LT to finish the game? Zach wants to know.

Hope the new Comish has a penchant for fancy glasses, could see him adopting an Elton John vibe....maybe a feather boa or two to compliment...spice up his getup, no harm. Rhinestones!

If Strev. just does what they tell him and never speaks up or asks for varied play selection during the week that's on him, if so it's getting him nowhere. Buck has said numerous times he works with his QB to accommodate what he likes to do best, there's no evidence he's a dictator that won't listen. Dru Brown took advantage of his limited opportunities and did exactly what he needed to do, he ran all the way to a starting job Ottawa with them. In a few of the games he stepped in for Zach in 2023, he took full control of the offence and even outperformed Zach, a mid-season Edmonton victory was probably the best example.

That is what he's accomplished in the past but I'd hope for a lot more from a future starter than struggling to win half his games, re-watch the second half of the Banjo Bowl, he was unable to move the ball the entire half on the ground or in the air, the Riders keyed on Brady and didn't worry about his vaunted arm. You've got blinders on if you're comparing him to Fajardo in ability or accomplishment, he can't manage a game near as well as Dru Brown could in his second season with the Bombers behind basically the same offence. He's a SY specialist that usually ends up on the 6 game IR due to the reckless style he plays and I don't think he'll ever amount to anything more than that.

I think they brought Patterson in just in case Strev. is not ready to go for the start of the season, they both fulfill the same role as the short package QB. As Walters said in his presser, if available for TC Elgersma is there to observe and learn with zero expectations this season.

I think this is a distortion of reality, the vast majority of US College players are receiving very little NIL money, the ones making big money from the program would likely be early draft picks that would never come to the CFL anyway.

The D-line worked pretty well up until Jeffcoat left.

Johnny Augustine also went undrafted in 2017.

He's about the same size as Jay Person, it would be great to add a couple of speed rushers to compliment Vaughters and distract attention away from Willie.

Ed Hervey project, brought with him to the Ti-Cats from the AB. Golden Bears, good enough to win CanWest football player of the year in 2023. This is Brady's new backup, if he takes him under his wing, good things could happen.
