Of all the people that could have left, Matty would not have been my top choice...

Matt Dunigan not returning to CFL on TSN: sources - 3DownNation

It could be health related. I doubt if he has any money concerns. I hope he has a wonderful retirement. Matty deserves it.

Blue Bombers Training Camp Report | Day 7 - Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Quote

-Not practising were OL Eric Lofton, DBs Jamal Parker, Jr. and Josh Hagerty, DT Jake Thomas, WR Dalton Schoen and DT Cameron Lawson. Returning to work were WR Kody Case and DE Kemari Munier-Bailey.

-WR/KR Peyton Logan has been moved to the one-game injured list, meaning he would miss the season opener.

Maybe Parker is a vet/rest day. Worried bout a bunch of guys though.

My different take on that. We're not sure when Lawson will be back and Thomas proved he's our most durable DL and knows Younger/Hall system the most. So, why not give most of the reps to Schmekel and Kornelson?

That makes sense. Honestly though I don't think either Shcmekel or Kornelson is good enough to be in a regular rotation.

I love shmekels motor and willingness to contribute. Nice utility too. But man, he doesn’t turn that into any thing in play on dl. I’d convert him to a ol. Hes a last Canadian on the roster guy, and kornelson looks like a tc body to me.

All 3 not named Lawson are if ranked probably the 3 worst national DTs in the league...there's that too...and if a dt is not required for ratio..which it isn't then the smarter move to have your best defence is to give the imports the majority of the reps and figure out the most impactful and versatile

Those 3...are not making any cfl roster other than ours...and that's not a good thing
