Demski we were absolutely going to draft but Taman scooped us one spot before.

Kind of annoying that we had 300 chances to draft Cenacle and he went off and had 111 yards and 2 TDs against us.

To me it’s pretty obvious what their plan is on offence this year. It’s going to be a package/committee 12th man. 5OL (Bryant, Wallace, Ellsbury, Neufeld, Broxton) 1QB (Collaros) 1RB (Oliveria) 2 American Receivers (Pokey, White) 2 Canadian Receivers (Demski, Nield) and then 12 is going to be one of Chris-Ike (RB/FB), Daniels (TE/FB), Clercius (Receiver) or Cobb (Receiver) depending on the situation and play call.

I think we're going to be fine. Week 1 - Okay Vernon Adams has carved us a new A-Hole once or twice in the past. Who knows how that will pan out Week 2 - Home opener, Hamilton. Doesn't really scare me Week 3 - Bye Week 4 - Home Edmonton. Dub First month, done. No reason we can't be at least 2-1 IMO.

Dante Daniels would be Logan Stanley of the Bombers.

Not so much the cuts, just the roster deployment as usual. Looks like we’re gonna go old and then be surprised when we’re beat up at the end of the year and nobody on the PR has had a chance to play. We once again did not have “open competitions” by the looks of it … not that any of the Americans blew the doors off but looks like Corcoran/Cobb won a job just by existing.

About what I expected. Kylie and Ayers should be gone. Kelly and Corcoran too

We got some injuries me thinks. The one thing ppl need to remember is guys need to agree to go to the PR. One thing I know is lots of times guys say thanks but no thanks.

Agreed that we wanted him but he went at #6 and we didn't pick again until #11. Worked out in the end though. He was just starting to really establish himself as a pro when he hit FA and came home.

I'm going to piggyback off @JuranBoldenRules point about us ignoring Canadian offensive talent in the draft. It's killing us. Look at the top Canadian wrs. McInnis, Demski, Philpott bros, Emilus, Brisett, K.Mital, K.Smith. Outside of Smith, all were first rounders or a high second.

I would bet we'll be dressing 7 OL and Daniels Week 1. LT Bryant LG Wallace C Elsbury RG Neufeld RT Broxton Eli and Vibert as backups Demski is probably going to be down, Peterson comes on for him and Cobb starts. We've really just given up on adding any playmakers on O out of the draft for years now. I think we'll have a really good OL. But we have nothing at receiver.

Thats pretty cool....Grud's knows his stuff ya gotta admit

Bomber fans before the season - this 8 teams making the playoffs next year is some stupid **** Bomber fans after this season - thank Zod for the new playoff format. We might make the playoffs next year

I agree that Randolph most likely isn’t done in the CFL. I also think it’s valid to have concern about Bryant. I liked Poncius right from rookie camp. He’s a few years younger than Randolph and I think he has a tonne of potential.

I think a lot of the nonsense of last night was keeping cards close to the vest.

Doubt they even draft Brady if he's not from Winnipeg.

In regards to Daniels not getting targets…. Is it possible that they view him as a bit of a surprise element for week 1 and didn’t want to put anything about him other than blocking on film.

Odd choices..Dumping Randolph for Poncias? He showed zip Not sure what more Clinton needed to do..send away a promising young guy but keep 2 older vets..one of whom (Jones) is limited in what he is good at Where did Oledejo materialize from?? why Singer isnt on active is puzzling..hope we ain't going 3 Canadian recievers..we have not the depth for that..especially if Clercius is out for a bit...then keep 3 imports on PR? Coulda used one those spots for Clinton or Young Osh be oshin

Not wrong

It’s ironic that senacle put up 2 TDs last night and Daniels wasn’t even noticeable. This fascination with reaching for career special teamers is wild and the video they posted definitely made it seem like a KW organizational way of thinking. Not just that 20 second clip tho, interviews and just past actions show it’s an organizational direction. Like instead of going with talent they go character and over coming odds.its almost like American idol where saddest personal story wins or in this case makes the team. Bombers would Start Rudy. And that should be Daniels nickname. Rudy. Now I liked Rudy but we have a few 2 many of them types where they do 1 thing maybe and that’s it, Rudy prob be a good cfl special teams guy, not sure Daniels corks etc are.

Where did this narrative come from that Sergio was ever in doubt? He and Sheehan were always the kickers and then hopefully keep the new ones on the PR. Sergio is arguably the best kicker in the league and I thought last night Sheehan was (sadly) maybe our best player... I thought people were joking when they said Serge might not make it. Hilarious. Corky making the team is actually super funny just because some people's heads might actually explode.

Well we were waist deep in Canadian receivers, so much so we could use two 2nd round picks to pick a tight end 6 of 9 teams in the league had never even thought about.

I count 52 players on the roster plus 2 on 6 game IR. 25 Canadians, 22 Americans, 2 Globals and 3 QBs. Something like this:

WINNIPEG, MB., May 30, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the following transactions. Released from roster: American offensive lineman Iwinosa Uwubanmwen American defensive lineman Antoineo Harris American offensive lineman Kendall Randolph American offensive lineman Sebastian Pares American offensive lineman Bucky Williams American defensive lineman Jonah Pace American running back Stevie Rocker American defensive lineman Carter Hooper American receiver TJ Davis American receiver Jihad Marks American receiver Jamoi Mayes American defensive back Deandre Lamont American defensive back Bryan Addison American defensive back Warren Burrell National receiver Joshua Jack National receiver Thomas Desrosiers National receiver Kolby Hurford American linebacker Micah Cretsinger American linebacker Ja’Kobe Clinton National kicker Brady Lidster Global punter Keegan Andrews National receiver Jackson Tachinski American receiver Jayden Harrison American defensive lineman Arnold Young American defensive tackle Kaleb Mackie-McLeod Added to practice roster: American receiver Christian Fredricksen National defensive lineman Collin Kornelson National running back Matthew Peterson American offensive lineman Hunter Poncius American defensive lineman David Reese American defensive lineman Michael Fletcher American receiver Dorian Singer American receiver Kenneth Womack American defensive back Ridge Texada American offensive lineman Micah Mazzccua National linebacker Charles-Elliot Bouliane National receiver WR Daniel Oladejo (6-0, 185, Ottawa) WINNIPEG, MB., May 30, 2026 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce updated jersey numbers for the following players: TE Dante Daniels – #87 LB Jaiden Woodbey – #3 DB Major Williams – #24 LB Brody Clark – #27 WR Kenneth Womack – #89 WR Christian Fredericksen – #84 DE Nuer Gatkuoth – #40 DB Ridge Texada – #26 DE Kydran Jenkins – #44 DE David Reese – #45

lol I’m not even gonna get upset, I should know better by now

Yup...people need to realize too..hes like 6'2" and 225 pounds..he is a big dude

Yep. Nichols too. Biggest concern isn't his arm, not by a mile. But for a QB3 who will do short yardage and could run some strev pack type stuff, He's a real good fit.

It’s pretty typical of any sports league to have to pay for more than one service to get every games. Thats how you maximize money. Essentially the cost of acquiring all games went up for consumers and some of that increase is being passed to the league. Services will pay for right if it will drive subs.

His hands are nowhere good enough to be as slow as he is.

Not sure Osh' mindset going into these games..no vets get any work and we have had rusty starts due to it....And why give TE most the game, you see what he is about..Live arm...some pocket awareness but needs a lot of seasoning, and needs to just relax and let play come to him,,,,We then have Perkins playing with all crap really, so tough to gauge. I think he will be fine, he just needs to also settle in and play his game and not worry about show casing his arm...there were a few times he had acres of yards he coulda ate up but was too occupied with trying to show some passing chops and forced..or awkwardly tossed balls he didnt need too...play his game...roll outs..sprint outs...RPO stuff and his passing will look a lot better, as history in 2 leagues and college will show... Fredrickson as well...all game...while others got reps here and there...sure he caught a few but also muffed several and was basically fed 80% of the passes tonight...and did nothing with it really...both games...and basically does zero after the catch...like running in mud...The one drop was a direct result of his lack of athleticism and vertical...couldnt get his big body up to make the catch. Singer has won and should b the 5th receiver, as he is a returner, and sure dropped one he should have had but is explosive and has big play ability, and pair him with the starting Offence as the 5th guy...he will look damn good. I sure they will PR Fredrickson tho as they have some fascination with him I do not see. None of the oline guys made a case to be a starter...who and what they keep will be interesting Dixon and Jenkins I think made roster..who is the "starter" and who the DA is the question...and really irrelevant as both will see lotsa reps...as both can slide inside. Fletcher too made a case for PR at worst...versatile...moved well....was disruptive. Reese as well PR at worst....Best get off of any end we have and has a motor....Clinton too should be kept...he's good...fast...closes like a bullett. DB's are a crapshoot...We know we set with Holm...Nichols...Moxey...that other corner is the only question...Looks to me Williams is front runner and just looks most ready. Also have to consider Lamont as we know Osh likes his vets, and he did nothing to play himself off the team and that was playing with scrubs and guys who will be cut. Place him with the starting group and he would be just fine. And the fact we had Jaylen Smith in a 2 man safety role at times, and Vaval will be a DA and likely DB backup we prob don't DA an extra DB so it frees up Dline help. With Griffin...Smiths emergence...Kramdi at safety if we sustain a DB injury Griffin can easily slide out to one the spots and Kramdi or Smith take over SAM.... One thing i find odd was that all this talk and hype about Daniels...we basically ignored him and had zero involvement of him in passing game...like wtf?...See what he can do catching and route running...unless we hiding it for the real season it was a bit perplexing...and If they don't plan to use I have a a hard time seeing an AR spot for him as he really showed nothing in his reps we couldnt get with an extra olineman, or using MCI or Clercius as a TE Glad I was in my seat and didnt have to watch it...The use of the new scoreboards was good tho...basically full screen of plays....minimal ad interruption. And the new ribbon boards below the ring of honour and at field level are pretty nice and slick...stadium looks good...best in league by far for game presentation

It was the worst pre-season stream yet. At the beginning they didn't have CJOB in sync. The play was over before they started describing it. They showed folks in the crowd instead of the plays. Showed ads while the play was going on. Pure amateur hour.

DAZN doesn't fix that problem. Your son will now be able to easily find 20% of the games. Big whoop!
