I actually thought he was kind of just a throw in because we really liked the global DE... turns out we may have got the two best players in that deal I would agree with you... even the most ardent of complainers (you know who you are) weren't saying "this team sucks, we're going to lose"... but rather "a few tweaks could make this roster even better"

There's so many players that had a great night last night... it's hard to single out just three... there are three guys I want to mention, maybe not necessarily as the "top 3" stars, but just guys I think deserve a shoutout... 1- Kennall Randolph (I'd like to start the petition to call him Kenny Randy) - Thank you for your service Mr Lofton, but you are no longer required... we still love the years Yoshi gave us but he's dead to us in green... Randolph is the future and current starting tackle of this team... whether he remains on the right or takes over for Big Stan on the left 2 - Mike Ayers - He just makes plays... I'll admit Kyrie Wilson played well last night... but I hate that it's at the expense of Ayers... he should be an every down defensive player 3 - Keric Wheatfall - I don't like to anoint anyone too early... but it's looking like we really have something in this guy... could be a stud for years to come.... A million other players also played great last night... Strev, Peterson, The entire Oline, Demski, Jones, Kramdi, Vaval, Holm

so you're saying it's a Buck thing? 😁 Also, looking at the depth chart, they listed Cdn Riley Picket at FB and American Zander Horvath as the back up RB... being that he's listed at 6'3, 230... he could be confused as a FB

Is this the first ever palindrome to play in the CFL??

How many high schools did you o to that you can't remember where he subbed at? lol I actually think Suitor is perfectly fine... as long as it's not a Riders game I agree... but that mullet has to go... mullets "coming back" is officially the worst trend that has ever happened.... socks and sandals being a close second

If Jake and Schmek want to sit out... like permanently... that would be just fine

The first line of the article says "The Blue Bombers made a move that surprised some fans"... either I have no idea what the casual fan thinks (due to getting all my info here) or the media is completely clueless... I come to that conclusion also referencing the pre-game show from pre-season game one where they were talking about vets who might be at risk of either being cut or losing playing time... and Ed Tait went on to say (paraphrasing here) "a lot of fans will be shocked to hear this but I think Jake Thomas will start getting less reps this year"... Do most casual fans think he's a stud? PS... this is not meant to start more conversation about JT... more about casual fans

I'm not sure how it looks ratio wise... or if JY is planning to run a lot of 3-man fronts again... but I think the ideal game day DL includes Willie, Vaughters, Person, Bailey, Lawson, Adams, and Woods... now that list is impossible because it excludes Thomas... but we'll have to see what they go with

Nothing terribly surprising about who made the final roster, IMO... K Wilson is a guy I wish we had moved on from but he was making the roster the second we was extended... same with Jake... I would assume Munier-Bailey would offer much more to the game day roster than any of Jake, Schmek, or Kornellson... so hopefully we see at least one change there... I'm also concerned about losing someone like J Jones or Ayers or Woodbey at the expense of T Jones or Wilson.... I don't know much about Woodbey but I'd rather roll the dice on him than watch Wilson get hurt again...

This guy?

this is a great idea... but it sounds expensive... CFL isn't exactly flush with cash

This has to be it, right?… they have to know he wants to play in Canada and that he’s a legit rotational piece… otherwise this doesn’t make any sense… his tweener size concerns me slightly

I don't know how much the coach enjoyed it... but it was a fun chant in Nov 2019 at portage and main

I was actually thinking about this recently during the break and I wondered what a realistic magic number would be to win the west (don't care about the presidents trophy... in fact, I'd rather the Jets not win that)... I kind of settled on 16 wins... though 2 extra points would be useful... so something like 16-8-2 in the final 26... With that record, I believe Dallas, Edm, or Vegas would have to go 22-5 or 22-4 (depending on how many games they have left) to knock the Jets out of first... while it's not impossible for team to get super hot... it seems unlikely....

A friend of mine who's a huge football fan but not a huge CFL fan (he'll go to a few games with me a year and watch playoffs) commented after the GC... why did the Bombers keep attacking McManis... guy is clearly the best player on the field.

I laughed out loud at this because it was my literal first response too Right but "calls it he sees it" isn't necessarily a good thing when one's opinion is far from the truth... it just helps spread misinformation

in CFL terms... that's like 6 generations ago...

Yeah this is basically what I'm saying, in regards to the receivers... If Mitchell and White pan out... we will not miss Lawler

This is a Streveler quote?

I don't understand the people complaining that we have done nothing this off-season... you don't replace a guy like Lawler... but we've added some nice pieces at receiver and hopefully one or two hit... we're better at LB now than last year... DBs should still be strong... losing the passport at corner sucks but Ford's production is replaceable... Wallace may be as good or better than Dobson... I think I like to see some depth at DL and OL added... ideally a starter but not sure how many great options are out there

If he's looking for a job and the Bombers are the only team offering one... he's not going to turn it down out of spite

So Hamilton is basically building our very below average DL from last year minus the only true difference maker… can’t say I’m too upset about that

Smith at 230 is excessive... but I would've had zero issue with that Ceresna deal... outside of Zach and Brady, we don't really have any one who has a "crazy" contract right now (arguably Kramdi).... and Brady is living up to his...

My assumption on the delayed OC announcement is that it has something to do with Jarious Jackson and what his role/compensation would be... It wouldn't surprise me if him and Hogan are being paid at a similar level... I'm a little surprised Jackson wasn't given an additional title like pass game coordinator, or even Asst HC... the only really confusing part is Ed Tait saying prior that the move would not be surprising...

Garbutt definitely showed some flashes... but not enough consistency... I don't think he'll be a major loss
