I’d normally agree. However, his complete screwing up of his time here, and mediocre production over all for elite money, I do blame him for not making good here. We sat through that dui and his in too much of a child to take care of my passport crap. While paying him stupid money. His inability to stay healthy was a big part of leaving our wr core gutted. In the end, if you have no loyalty or accountability you deserve none. If it had just been injuries I wouldn’t blame him. But he screwed up more than once in a big way and it cost us. Chasing bank after that makes him a grease ball.

2024/2025 CFL (non-Bomber) Off-Season Thread
wbbfan replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yuuupp. Never thought he was more than this. The fact we lost to him in the gc is infuriating. -
I barely went last year. Was just a waste of time. This year was a great camp. In general they are a far cry from what they used to be, but this camp was about as good as it gets these days. I love Halletts effort, at this point he’s a last Canadian on the roster type. Only a teams guy, a good one still but no upside left and no role to fill on D. It makes sense to have him on while makonzo and Kelly recover. Especially since we are carrying Shay/smith, and 2 imp db back ups. If haggerty was healthy I’d put him on over Hallett though. Idk if he’s legit injured or not though. Ball even has upside I might give him a look over Hallett eventually. Not much of a S these days. Barely still a teams guy.

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
wbbfan replied to Atomic's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
some pretty interesting bits out of this. Just in the first minute or so kola talks about the camp difference from last year. -
Riders starting aj this week and using a di on Carey. Some one was asking the last time a none kr rb was a di
-
Yeah. I don’t think Logan’s gonna be in any time soon. Even when he’s healthy he will need to get in game shape atleast.
-
Wade is 10x more passionate/competitive about football and the bombers than he is about business. And he is driven in business.
-
They way Wade miller is, no chance a meeting didn’t happen about the piss poor start last year. What would’ve been involved one can only guess. He isn’t a make threats kinda guy, he would for sure talk about under achieving. And we see a stark change in camp this year. Hasn’t been one like this since maybe first or second mos year. That type of thing is normal with in sports at upper management levels too. And in business.  
-
Great job by hogan very optimistic about him.
-
Very real possibility. I could see some rebalancing of power in the mafia having happened since last years start. And if that’s given us what we have now, great keep it goin. 100%. After they took ringmaiden I think we are even. I love Ted too, and hope he whips cancer and has lots of success in Hamilton. I think the front office change was needed too. Suddenly we have a ton of young blood in front of this franchise, and fresh impartial eyes.
-
Yeah we need stability on the ol at all costs right now. Last place I’m making changes unless forced. He danced around a lil on what actually changed, but im just glad he did what it took finally. We just have to keep it going in the weekly prep too.
-
They always have an excuse just like the first two months of last year. Honestly most people are in the same boat these days. It’s a couple that are still in the this is fine room with roster management. Luckily, the coaching changes and last batch of vet discards has brought a lot of improvement. We are younger and more athletic than we’ve been in years. The depth is pretty impressive too. I’m sure the roster will improve with a couple more games, and hopefully see another old head go this year still.
-
I’d be open to trying vaval at bridges spot too. Get back a di too. I’m sure Parker will get more time to get back up to pace. But I haven’t been impressed. To really go Canadian at S, we’d need a back up Canadian too. We don’t have one able to play in the secondary with both makonzo and Kelly hurt. That said, we could flip wil taking kyrie off much easier. Sadly, if we need to flip ratio, I bet we start two Canadian dts and di adams. Which would be criminal.
-
I don’t mean the actual stadium. I mean the pressure he was under here and the whole no one could kick any damn ball back then for us. Kickers are really strange animals. Once they get the yips it’s hard to break. Medlock was lowkey famous in the nfl for being a kicker like that. Up here one of the best to ever do it.
-
Yeah maybe collar bone, rotator cuff, or some thing even more outlier.
-
The continued evaluation is concerning.
-
If Brady can’t go, Cooley comes on. Peterson has to show he can repeat what he did, and mci is far away from being able to carry reliably. Hope Brady is good to go, but his injury was strange. I am concerned he will miss a bit.
-
You’re right. I hated running legs out. Maybe he needed the change of scenery though.
-
100%. The guys were fired up more than I saw all last year. That wants-it-more goes a long way to winning. Every one is replaceable. But we lost some replacement level guys for sure. Garbutt and fox were actually quite good in Hamilton. In a unit that is basically all our exes.
-
I’d rather play him at dl than have him replace Castillo. Long term, I think every team should be looking for a global or Canadian guy who can do all 3 jobs. That gives you incredible roster flexibility. Those guy are exceedingly rare, and they basically never stay up here now. Some one, sorry to the person idr who, had a brilliant idea in the off season/camp. Just like we have the Canadian qb program in cfl camps, we should have the same program for kickers.
-
He’s very legit. What I really liked from his running last night was that out side of his big run, he still gained great yardage consistently. He wasn’t busting 10+ or getting stuffed. He fought for yards was able to push forward a bit on some tough plays too. Good blocker, great effort guy. Much better speed than you’d expect. The fact we started out the year soo well with strong execution on both sides of the ball from the first bell, despite missing our qb1 and mop rb, after the mess of a month and a half to start last year is a real testament to the value they got out of camp this year. We even lost a bunch of coaches and front office guys. But despite all that this was the hungriest and most prepared team breaking camp we’ve seen since 21.
-
Yeah both Kelly and makonzo are 6 gamed.
-
I really liked Randos game. I want to see him get better in the run game though. Vanterpool was really good at guard. Which you do expect from an imp playing guard. But he was likely our best ol last night. The old guys all got whupped a couple times
-
To be fair, one near pick was tipped which isn’t on him and another was a crazy diving attempt at the turf. He does need to protect the ball placement a bit better, but he did get better at that as the game went on.
-
That 31 yard net punt from the lions 51 was ugly though. He was punting poorly from mid field but decent from our side. He struggled picking up the right guys, and when he had position failed to contest the catch effectively at all. Pretty disappointing, but he didn’t play that much in pre season and hasn’t played in a while. Maybe he needs to get the rust off, either way he’s gotta be better and quick.
