I mean the Americans coming in here as tailbacks realize that the incumbent is a Canadian who was just up for MOP? And we have a Canadian backup who has been here for more than half a decade?
There's literally no roster spot for them. They are coming in to try to steal a practice roster spot or a shot with another team. I'm not even sure they'd really consider them for return duty unless they blew everyone's socks off because they'll want cover for another spot through that role, likely receiver.

Mos made a great comment in the presser yesterday. He said that they all really value both CMI and Clercius going into their last ncaa season knowing they weren't going to get the reps that they wanted, but sticking it out with their teams any way and finding new roles to support their teams. Its some thing you dont see in the transfer portal era. Guys hit it and quit it soo fast now. I mean we have lots of guys who transferred multiple times on the roster. It takes a special mind set for guys like that, especially soo talented and athletic to choose loyalty to their program even if their program doesn't choose it to them.
Really makes me think both those guys are gonna overachieve here.

Say what you want about Kolo (I'm a firm believer this is Eli's year) but a spin move during one on ones is very different than a spin move inside during a game. I know most know that.

Yep. One of the most amazing facets of our WR core, only one guy on the entire roster at WR is 30 years old. Demski is the oldest and still has plenty of time left. Best WR core and a young prime group too. It's really going to be interesting to see who wins the last spot and why.

MCI is replacing Jackson on the roster, not Augustine imo. They’ll be able to use an American somewhere else like we all wanted last season.

ddanger reacted to BBlink in 2024 Blue Bomber Training Camp
I'd have a hard time thinking MCI would pass him on the depth chart as the gameday backup at RB this year. It sounds more like they will use him at FB/TE if he sees the field on offense

Back to Training Camp discussion. Man, you get the impression Michael Chris-Ike is going to be a factor (no, not the jabari arthur factor) on this team. I am not usually one to pay attention to the combine results but for a guy that is 6'1" 225 to be the top in the cone and shuttle is impressive. Combine that with having a bunch of special teams tape; describes himself as aggressive on teams; it really sounds like he is exactly what we need. You could also see O'Shea beaming (the classic O'Shea beam) when talking about him.

This is a great article.... good to hear that Haba seems ready to take over Jackson's role... but I'm excited about Garbutt and Rivers too... having a three man rotation of Willie, Haba, and Rivers/Garbutt will hopefully cause a lot of havoc for opposing QBs

He was real banged up last year. If he’s taking full reps in the first days of tc, you can expect he’s recovered.
I think it’s a good sign as well that we have Moses and Petrishen in camp this year. Some of the past tcs we haven’t brought in any competition.
I think Cole will flow to the first opening. Be it by injury, suckage combination of those or what ever else.
It makes sense to give him reps at S now, even if we plan to have him at lber. It doesn’t cost us any thing and it bakes in some positional flexibility. Though Cole at S would be terrifying for opposition wrs.
yep. And they are very high on Charbonneau indeed. Plus gauthier played out of his mind in the gc.

I agree with your concerns over Bighill... but the team is clearly looking to start grooming LB replacements... we have 5 new American LBs and 2 new Global LBs in camp this year... I'd expect one or two of those Americans to stick around and hopefully start earning some playing time.... plus Cole could still be in line for the WIL spot if Wilson has injuries... plus if I recall, I believe this Max Charbonneau kid out of of Ottawa comes with some pedigree and people were excited to see what he brings (I could be thinking of someone else)

ddanger reacted to Bubba Zanetti in 2024 Blue Bomber Training Camp
Im very concerned about Bighill going into the season. He looked absolutely done at times last season with zero speed and missed tackles all over the field. And with Clements gone and Cole shifting to a different position the Bombers have shockingly shown zero interest in bringing in anyone else with CFL experience to even spell him during the season, let alone grooming someone to be his replacement(which will need to happen in the very very near future). This could be a major issue this season.

Imagine any and all of those guys rotating through to keep fresh... Now you're on the trolley....

New signing for TC.... And I sincerely believe he won't be the worst one out there, and will be among the most fit.

I'd rather have Schoen and Lawler than Schoen OR Lawler and Bailey.
Talent level is much higher than it would be if we kept the slightly above average vets.

Grant and jj got moved on from because they couldn’t stay healthy. Bailey was good but you can’t pay a role wr big money. We already have soo much tied up in demski lawler and schoen we just can’t afford another premium salary wr.

LOL - where I been? Crying in my Crown Royal as the Jets go out in 5 again with a massive whimper.
I'm back now - Jets stuff put away, Bomber stuff now taken out and ready to go! Can't wait for the home opener, I'll be there, cheering on the Strevelation!

Yea, footwork is pretty big for any OL in pass pro. However, these scouting reports tend to focus on NFL capability not CFL. How far off his foot work is for the CFL is anyone's guess....although several teams appear to have passed on him because of it. That being said, same thing was said about Yoshi prior to him being here and when he shed a few pounds his feet drastically improved. Sadly, with aging his footwork looks to be dropping off again, but he gave us some very good seasons.
