Yup. Zach tends to struggle in the true frozen north. Hopefully Brady is good to go and with that the OL including an old oft injured Neufeld aging Stan Krap kolo who also had a day off I see, Wallace who was iffy to start 2 games ago and a solid Randolph. What could go wrong.

8 x 8.5 for both 55 and 37. It was 66 ish million. I can’t remember the exact aav but it’s. 8.5 for Helle and scheif is also 8.5 actually. They signed the same deals. they have 7 years remaining

I see they also brought in a couple DL who sound like maybe immediate upgrades to our current crop of crap. So play them.

Put Doug brown and a healthy prime stove at DT and I bet we have more sacks. It’s the talent or lack there of. None of our DTs are elite. They are all just ok really. None are brown or stove for that matter. 1 prob makes a difference. Ffs Jake Thomas is a starter.

I don’t disagree. As a fan I loved the pressure and sacks. It made me jump out my seat and cheer. I honestly prefer the more I’ll call it aggressive D. I still do. I’d love for them to really get at the QB. But they don’t and haven’t since well it’s really since Jeffcoat “retired” but I’m just saying whatever they do is working pretty well also. I’m also pretty sure it’s our O who has **** the bed more. I mean pretty sure hogan has taken more heat than JY. Maybe it’s time JY took some heat tho also. Brown might enjoy the D tho as he was a legit elite defensive tackle. But you put him in there in his prime and take Jake out and maybe it’s likely we do have more pressure and sacks just cuz the talent level between a brown and any of our current DTs is so far apart that brown just makes our ends better

Dreger adds 55 million in salary. 41 in basically signing bonuses. He’s gonna get paid 5.25 million every July 1st for example for 8 years. Maybe every October 8.

Full no move clause and bonuses in the contract. It’s a huge win. Dude wanted to be here. Didn’t want to be anywhere else. Put it in his contract even. People should be celebrating this. Biggest signing in Winnipeg sports history and the guy signing it genuinely wants to be here and he’s an American.

12 per. 28. 5 ish for all 3 of KC Scheifele and Helle for 8 years. None of our stars need to be paid again and are all jets for life. That’s a huge win for the Jets. Josh is next cuz Lowry ain’t getting a huge raise. See when you break it down it’s about 9.5 each for the 3. That’s really solid when one dude who both KC and 55 out produce got 17. those 3 are our stars. They get paid like it. Josh is our other star. He will get paid the most on D. He will get 9 or 10 per. The others won’t. We could hope one day a guy like Salo will cuz it means he’s a star. Vilardi signed long term also. I mean none of them are up soon. Josh and Lowry but like I said the stars will get the bags like the qb did in the cfl, and there’s lots of space. Florida has multiple players making 10 don’t they. We got 3 making 28. It’s normal now. It’s actually, Helle and 55 took discounts.

They don’t seem to care about pressure and sacks as much as other teams. They have allowed 70 points less than the guys who do tho. So whatever the bombers are doing is working better than what B.C. is doing. You and others want them to concentrate more on sacks and pressure. That’s not really the Younger way tho. Our D is built around our defensive backs really. It’s built around coverage and basically confusion. It’s not about sacks and pressure and hasn’t been since JY took over really.

Have ppl actually been to practice since the 90s? Cuz it ain’t what it used to be. My daughter and I checked one out in August I believe, she was off school still and we left after 15 minutes. Went to bomber store and that was that. Nothing happens. There was more contact and ppl moving faster at the bomber store than on field. Less shouting but definitely more contact at the store cuz I bumped into a rack and it almost fell over. That was more than we saw on the field. At this point of season I’d think keeping guys like Neufeld healthy would be more important cuz we all know if he got hurt in practice most of you would lose your **** on O’Shea. Neufeld is what he is. He isn’t gonna be getting any better or worse. He is what he is. I’d rather keep guys healthy than send them out for meaningless practice. Honestly they should change practice to walk throughs cuz essentially that’s what it’s become.

No we aren’t. It’s Thompson and chipmans money. Ticket sales make up less than half the cap. The cap is rising. 1 guy making 12 million when the cap is over 100 is irrelevant. Not everyone gonna be paid their 8 year 12 million per like KC got. this isn’t the bombers. You aren’t paying their salaries. They have billion dollar tv deals and billionaire owners. Your 1980s thinking is not relevant in 2025. oilers have 2 guys making 26.5 million. Jets have KC (he signed) at 12 and Helle and Scheifele at 8 each. So 28 for the 3 stars. Edmonton 26.5 for 2. lol at thinking 3rd or 4th liners gonna get these deals cuz they won’t. actually. Like the cfl the cap money will go to the stars not the foot soldiers. And that’s what’s happening cuz it’s the stars signing these big deals. Meanwhile Chibrikov signed 2 years 850k per. Iafallo got 4 ish this off season. Not everyone is gonna get that bag. Scheif Helle signed 8 years. They are making 8 for 8!years. Next guy up who might get paid is Josh. That’s it tho. nHl is not a gate driven league. It’s a billion dollar tv deal driven league. Canadian teams are the only ones who sell out consistently and ppl think it’s their ticket money. lol. It’s not. It’s the tv deal. The prices are going up with everything. Going to a nhl game is not a necessity tho it’s a luxury.

lol at practice. You mean light jogging and no contact.

Why. It’s Chipman and Thompsons money. Totally irrelevant. It’s not like we are paying their salaries.

But our D has allowed 70 less points in the same number of games. Sacks and pressure is nice but doesn’t lead to points not being scored against.

He’s legit hurt tho.

Problem is free agency right. Like every team makes atleast 1 or 2 changes every off season. So unless that game is in December in Florida. Or January at the latest in the southern USA (Florida), it’s not really the champs is it. Cuz changes even happen with the champs. And who rules you playing under?

https://www.nhl.com/jets/news/roster-update-jets-announce-opening-day-roster-for-25-26-season Depth for sure. Looks and sounds like top 6 is Connor Scheifele Vilardi Nyquist Toews Chibrikov. bottom 6. I’m not sure but you got several guys to pick. Nino names lambert (why not try it) Koepke Barron Iafallo. Gus and Pearson scratched. Ford sent down (doesn’t require waivers)

A tournament could be interesting. Or like champs play champs. They could do that probably but I’m not sure when cuz man the seasons just don’t really align very good at all.

I go back to Demario Houston who was here with hall as DC and now Younger. Even Houston a vet admitted he needed a few weeks to get the terminology and schemes down. I would guess for a guy brand new to Canada never mind the cfl, it’s gonna take some time to get used to everything. I think our D scheme is a little more complex than BCs. BC spent money on betts and the DL and want the sacks. We seem to be content with just pressure and if we get a sack in the process, great. I feel some teams D live and die on sacks and pressure, ours ? Not so much. But then I see B.C. has given up 454 points through 16 games. Bombers 373 through 15. Weirdly enough riders given up the least. Then it’s us Calgary and Montreal at 373 through 15 games. BC actually well. Toronto has given up the most then BC then Hamilton then Ottawa. Then there’s a gap but Edmonton also over 400 points given up. Everyone else? Under

I’ll be honest. I wish tsn promoted the cfl like fox promotes the UFL tho. That would be a huge start. You can’t say fox isn’t promoting it cuz they do. I just think it’s not geared towards us Canadians. It’s not marketed towards us. Im not sure most ppl know it exists even. I don’t see how that grows anything. UFL losing viewers quicker than the cfl.

Why stop at a stoggie. Roll a fattie cuz you a pimp daddy, light that blunt up and say…… Pimpin’ ain’t easy. anyways go blue. Elk burgers are delicious and it’s definitely elk hunting season.

Just don’t see the UFL as an option. It just doesn’t make sense. UFL is worse than the CFL. It’s really bad. Merge with them and that’s the end of football in Canada. Ppl talk about revenue. UFL don’t get any. It’s losing money. And has since it started. I mean why not wait till the UFL folds and then do American expansion but to places who actually drew crowds. So St. Louis would be one for sure. CFL would get 40k there every game probably. uFl is owned 50 percent by Fox and 50 percent by the rock and ex Wife so I’m not even sure how you merge there. You dont. Fox wouldn’t want the CFL. I mean it’s not gonna happen. Hey guys we need interest and to grow the UFL here in America. I know let’s merge with a league in another country. Cuz that will bring viewers to fox for sure. Ppl can’t wait to see the Saskatchewan rough riders vs the Birmingham stallions followed by Memphis vs Winnipeg in the murder capital per capita bowl.

I wasn’t but I’m around now and Florida has won back to back Stanley cups and I dont think that’s good at all.

The openly racist social media comments are wild. Americans are an odd bunch. Even I know Puerto Rico is a US Territory.

Isn’t that what every sports league wants. No real favourites but a bunch of teams who could win?
