As I investigate this more, it looks like the culprit might be a bunch of bots hammering the site until it gets overwhelmed and needs a reboot. I'm experimenting with different ways to block them. Let me know : If you still experience the site slow or hanging Some of the things I'm trying is putting a challenge in front of weird URL's the bots seem to be hammering on but that a person wouldn't normally visit . If you start seeing a challenge screen to prove you are human on something you do often, let me know what that is, and I can see if some of the rules can be relaxed. This may be playing whack-a-mole for a little while.

I feel like this is what it has to be ... variety and a multitude of different offensive sets is what I'd expect. Realistically, I think they're going to be giving the opposition a lot of different looks this season, which I don't mind at all. I don't really know if we can trust Zach to beat good teams with his arm, but I do have some level of belief we can beat good teams with Condell being able to create a lot of confusion on what we are doing on offense.

If they were serious about starting 3 Canadian receivers they should have picked one up early in the draft. Picking a blocking tight end in the second and yet another Canadian linebacker who won’t see meaningful reps seems like a wasted opportunity.

It's quite literally embarassing to line up for Game 1 with an offense so thin.

but you still want a guy who can do something with those snaps, and or take the attention of a db and not be ignored essentially....opens up things elsewhere yeah hard to say...Before Clercius got hurt we have a lot of diff options/looks we could give with him and MCI...still not sold on Danials yet unless they have some stuff they kept hidden hey are gonna unleash. As I saw nothing to lead one to believe he gonna be basically doing what Eli did....and if that the case let Eli do it as he is better at it in the blocking aspect

This is what I don't get. We have Canadian spots designated on the roster and we don't draft based on those set in stone positions.

Lord help us no.....Lord help ZC if that the case

TC loves the 11/21 formation. Both for max protect and passing. Looks like we might catch a bit of a break there too. Calgary isn't listing Flo, or Hutchins on the AR. Flo as the reserve tells me hes probably a GTD and not 100%. https://static.cfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/260605-vsWPG-position-chart.pdf

Tough test for the O-line against Calgary's front 4. But in a way, this is really good to see what they are made of early. Not unhappy with the line-up and really eager to see how Condell can make use of our talent. Go Blue!

If they are serious about playing a TE often then I think that's your answer. The 5th WR (3rd Canadian WR) would be frequently coming out for Daniels, Eli, and/or MCI. I'm interested to see what the offence looks like. That 5th WR might be seeing <20 snaps per game for all we know at this point.

Id bet on it. Probably corcoran starting. Or they’ll throw the extra blocker in. I wonder if they will play eli as the 6th since he’s not 100% and doing partial practices.

It's at the 1 hr 45 min mark. Strevy is right pissed at Wynn, swears at him, gets a 10 yard penalty from Frenchie, then limps off the field because Wynn twisted his knee in the pile. Screw that guy. So Strev's penalty on the a-hole Wynn makes it second and 17. Andrew Harris says "no problem" and gets it all back on the next play. Man I loved that 2019 team.

Smith was more pro-ready, Shay had more upside because he has played S and could play Wil with minimal need to sub for a dime. We are trying to shoehorn Shay at Sam, and it's not going great.

what I really like about our depth chart on the dline...we will not have any sets with a dead weight guy on the field...and some case we had 2 together No Korn..No Thomas....so if we get owned it's more a case we got outplayed and outschemed and easily fixeable...as opposed to out classed like previous yr...2 👍's up in my books we all expected it tho...and all know it wasnt a "need" to do thing either....dumb decision but at least for 1st depth chart of yr we only have one head scratcher and wasted spot....I guess that can be considered a win for now

y0u would think we would have learned that by now eh? The art of maximizing the roster as opposed to just soothing a personal bias That being said we could have replaced Elsbury with Singer....Added Vibert for Corcorran and been just fine too Cobb as the back-end depth guy if we had 3 imports...And then MCI and Daniels on roster until Clercius gets back is workable...he does serve multiple purposes...not elite world beater at any of them..but good enough he wont hurt/hamper you...aka perfect for back end multi role Canadian depth

Could just start Eli, add Vibert for Elsbury. Take Corcoran off, add Singer. Start Singer over Cobb. Or just take Ayers off unless he's actually going to play D this year.

I don't mind cobb as an end roster canadian. Even forced into action isn't the worst guy on the roster. I do feel like he is a poor fit and field wr though. If you're gonna use him I think it should be in the slot. In order to put singer in, they would've had to use the nat american. Its 8 NIs, 1 of which can be a NA. Because we refuse to use it, we start 8 canadians. That would make us soo much better. And fit right in with our canadian by committee on D.

AND he did utilize that big global Robinson as a true TE in Hamilton...and included him in passing game...5 TD's over 2 yrs there

Some really curious tweaks on the D. Tony jones at wil, does that mean he will be rotating with Woodbey? That would be fantastic. Flipping shay for smith is also interesting. Idk why we wouldn't have tried smith at sam, but idk if hes really a sam either. That might just be for sake of roster balance just like when ayers was a DE. A bit thin at DL, only 6 guys. But atleast all 6 guys can go get after it. No real back up DT would be a bit of a concern, but then both Dixon and Jenkins can play inside out. Which is tremendous luxury. Love that we are using a DI on the DL, and with no canadian back up to lawson at DT, they must be really comfortable with Smith and maybe Gatkuoth.

I actually agree with you on this. I think if Condell is thinking outside the box with the personnel at his disposal he could really set up an offence that is very hard to defend and to prepare for. I haven't looked at it yet, have to do that ASAP.

yeah possible too....and I think he'd excell at WIL....Interesting that the depth chart has Jones at Wil and Wilson at MIKE

Yeah, MCI and Clercius out of a TE spot could give us so much ability to create and exploit mismatches. Im all for bringing in actual TEs and really going to town.

Depth chart out. Love the look of the D as long as we see lots of Smith and Woodbey. Best D-line we've dressed in years by the looks of it. On O, would love Singer in over Cobb. Tui not starting at centre, was limited in practice. Don't know if it is that or if they just like Elsbury better. 3DownNationWinnipeg Blue Bombers to start rookie centre Tyler Elsbur...The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have listed Tyler Elsbury as their starting centre against the Calgary Stampeders for their regular-season debut on Friday night. The team issued its official depth chart on

Nope, got your picks

But Cobb with 6 catches & an 8.5 yards avg per catch in 2025 is solid. Have faith.🙄

I'd bet Clercius goes on the 6 game. He took a nasty shot on that knee. I'd bet on Cobb for the last receiver, with Corky backing him up.

Clercius out for Friday according to 3D Nation. So Cobb or Corcoran in that spot?

Personally thought Shay was here to take Jones spot but not yet.

i agree....it was a gut punch for sure from a quality vet like that yeah...we need to let him play his natural spots...we dont need him at SAM...Griffin..Woodbey..Smith and kramdi have that more than covered Yup...WIL or MLB....he isnt fluid and greasy hipped enough for SAM....he is built thon to work nicely in the box...say....In Jones role 😁

Dennis Hull had a bit about being the 3rd best Hull to play in the NHL, he would have been fourth but they wouldn't let his sister into the NHL.

"I told Tretiak that he's become famous for letting in [Henderson's] goal...I said to him that 'if you had stopped it, you'd probably be a cab driver in Moscow today.' "

I still remember Strevy in the Grey Cup 2019 climbing out of the pile after a run and swearing a blue streak and giving Wynn a kick for his dirty play, and getting a 15 yard penalty. Dooooosh bag. Wynn sucks.

Also a known *******... **** that guy.

Nah. He’s been cooked for a few years now.

Yup....context is key with his stats...He is good depth...but we can do better for sure if we being real with ourselves...we could cut either..or ...or even both....or DA one and start one of Woodbey/SMith/ayers in those spots and not see any drop off...prob see increase in impact plays...not tackles after yards were gained or in chase mode Prime Bighills come once in a while...But also run of Mill Jone's come often...and settling for that when you can do better....we have better...is just spinning wheels and delaying roster transition another yr. We do that a lot. People forget Jones came to us from the scrap heap cause Edm had the wherewithal to see a rookie was better and had oodles of upside....and he ended up as ROY....Not like he was a guy teams were all chasing. We ride giys right into a bloody knub and have zero behind them...or rarely allow a guy to get reps/experience and then we scuffle trying to find a replacement...its a cycle with this group that happens too much....Clinging worked in 2019 thru 2022....but that was an anomoly of having a real good group in prime...and top guys at their position in the league, and we don't have that now...for a while yet we seem to think we do and havn't deviated from that mindset unless forced to, either by player defection or career/season ending injury How long has it been since we addressed the dline issues once we had no more Nevis...Stove..Jeffcoat..Kongbo?...we were more than happy to run out inferior guys cause they were either A) here already B) a old in tooth vet or C) some coaches fatuation what did you see him do to win it tho? and did he even play?...MIKE has changed I agree and Jones skillset, and holes in his game doesnt suit the new MIKE Being givin the job doesnt always translate into earning/winning it yeah he is horrid...and doesnt fit the real requirements of the spot now. The 3 spots were set in stone before the first player even stepped on field in TC They finally got it right with Griffin at SAM but if we wanted our best, and group most likely to get really lethal as season went on we would run combo's of Woodbey/Smith/Ayers along with Griffin and situationaly use one of Wilson or Jones I still willing to be open minded and not pessimistic about roster yet, as we havnt seen anything to indicate whats what in practice yet, and there gonna be guys moving on and off...and onto the IR But the first depth chart is gonna be a good indicator again of what we are....same ol same ol handcuffing ourselves and quationable guys just standing around game in and game out with nobody getting any development reps....or we are gonna field our best all around athletes and versatile players and kick some butt...guess it is TBD i think the discussion is that we arent playing the best option...or giving thebest options the bulk of reps...I've said Jones could be a good depth/situational guy as a DA....As would Wilson...but both blocking the younger playmakers, is redundant and serves zero purpose....6game or 1 game one of em and allow them full pay and there is your insurance if a younger guy huts the wall...or gets hurt...simple roster logic really to get your best players playing and growing...

this is exactly my problem with Tony Jones... he kind of represents what the team has become over the last few years... he's good, some games even very good... but nowhere near elite... and his position seems to be set in stone, with no competition... why are we so set on being just good and not trying to be great?... Unless you have prime Bighill, you should have at least 3 or 4 MLB candidates in camp trying to improve the position...
