🧠: CFL preseason means nothing, it's just nice to have football back. 💙: YEHAW RIDERS LOSE! 🎉 🎉 🎉

Achilles, perhaps? JSK played in the CFL for over a decade. Why can't we go after younger free agents? We ran into the same problem when we signed thirty plus receivers. Most of them were busts here because of injuries. What a waste of free agent resources.

Every time the Riders lose an angel gets its wings.

expansion out of desperation. trying to expand to stave off the league dying. changes 2 years out when the league is at best year to year is beyond a hail mary

I am hopeful that the billionaire who owns the league calls it a day. I thought it was bad up here in the CFL from week to week but the UFL has taken attendance futility down to another level. And the UFL is announcing expansion teams??? Lol.

We never learn from past mistakes. From playing up to 10 Canadian starters for no reason other than to get an extra second round pick to signing older veteran free agent players, these were the criticisms of Walters & Osh before. Nothing's really changed other than someone setting Walter's alarm this season so he didn't sleep thru free agency on Day 1 . Of course, we knew these criticisms last year when their contracts were expiring.

very good chance. Maybe acl, or some critical hammy tear, but probably achilles. I kinda of get it with jsk. flyer on a guy we know well at a position that isn’t a need. High upside, fairly low risk. So long as we didn’t give him a massive upfront bonus. It would be nice to dive in on the younger guys that’s never been our mo.

Winnipeg Blue BombersBlue Bombers Training Camp | Day 9 - Winnipeg Blue BombersDay after day after day during Winnipeg Blue Bombers training camp one scene has repeated over and over again: receiver Christian Frederickson making at least one ‘Oh, wow’ reception. “He’s done extre Definitely intrigued now about Fredrickson... At that size, generally, if he was any good he'd be in The League... But I'm definitely cheering for him.

A real champ over achiever. I loved that guy, soo much heart and just played his ass off. You can really see that trend in our D too. Smith, shay, ayers, and woodbey for starters. We have some other big dbs who are sam tweeners too. The secondary and second level have soo many guys that are modular and can play many roles from many alignments. The athleticism of our canadian defensive back ups is really tremendous too. We’ve gone from those guys being the outliers and massive luxuries to that being the barrier for entry. Most all the those candian D subs are not just athletic outliers, but they are tough nasty hard nosed football players. Not just pile of cross over athletes trying to make a go of it. That versatile athletic canadian defensive back up core, is going to be a major back bone to our defensive success this year and going forward.

woo hoo football!!! For pre-season I'm pretty impressed with the quality. Just so happy to be watching my favorite sport, even if its two teams I despise. 👍

Denmark was so smooth in his route running. Just got open.

Yes it's only pre season, and yes it's only Stamps hosting Gappers, but we officially have 2026 CFL football today .. by gar it's been awhile. Also, the "broadcast", if you want to call it that, is on the CFL website...

The bombers dont have the talent or depth to have 3 starting cnd wr. There should be 3 American spots

It’s starting to feel like, a week in, it’s business as usual and we haven’t learned much. Still looks like we’re getting ready to trot out 8-9 Canadians for no reason and value experience above everything. It’s hard for these rookie Americans to get experience because irs a revolving door for them by design - we don’t give them experience and then fault them for not having experience. There’s genuinely no reason someone like Gavin Cobb or Joey Corcoran should be taking meaningful reps with the first team at this point in camp. If you can’t find an American rookie that can perform better than 2* Canadian prospects, what’s the scouting department even doing? And the lot default “they’re all starters and the Canadian provides roster flexibility” thing is so hollow, we don’t need the flexibility. We don’t even use the flexibility we currently give ourselves.

14 straight sellouts correct? Plus I believe the Banjo Bowl is already sold out.

Not sure if it was mentioned but Schmekel was added to the 6 game list today.
