That’s a great idea. Sadly I don’t think they will do it, as they seem content to rely on the global pipeline for that.

Nothing wrong with his deep throws at all, he threw a couple beauties in the NFL. It's all the former lapo-buck tomfoolery with him. He can't survive in an offence with deep routes, no one can in the CFL. We saw lots of that last year where everyone runs a 5-yard out and the D runs downhill, making an easy play.

If game 1 drive 1 starts with strev in an empty back set followed by him running QB power for 1 yard, it's gonna be a long season. If he drops back to pass with a deep route as much as he runs, it's gonna be a gooder.

Yeah looks like they are really high on him. Best case scenario might be a full nfl camp and a mid to late season trip here. It’d be best for us if he’s in our camp next year, but a year of qb coaching and play against nfl athletes/competition is incredibly valuable. Especially at qb. That’s what I figure too. If elgersma doesn’t come up this camp I think we will still be fast to move off qbs4 and down. greatly agree.

The suspension will force a different usage in our preseason games and the implementation of our new playbook. They are going to have to get Strevy a lot more reps with team 1 in practice and in the preseason, and the rest of the QBs less preseason snaps, as well as having our starters play more of the games. Strevy will have to be ready to go with our starters and our system in game 1 and Zach in game 2. Having a bye in week 1 is going to make this much easier, but it will still be much harder for the depth QBs and some other positions to get their snaps in. We've got 5 QBs plus the extra arm in the CIS kid, and then Elgersma is likely here soon. I expected a cut when Elgersma gets here, it may even be 2 QBs cut early in TC this year.

Of note from Mos' interview, Jarious Jackson is not in attendance. He is excused with a personal matter, and they don't seem to have a timeline on his arrival yet.

Some people a province over from us probably cooking up an angle now of he was only good he’d because we juiced him to the **** lol right? Soo bizarre.

Just saw this news wow. Apparently they tried for 2 hours to get ahold of him for drug testing in the off season and he didn’t respond with in 24hrs. He will fully participate in pre season and tc. CFL and cflpa say they are going to clarify and improve the process of contacting players for testing.

Yup, basically if (more like when) he goes down we will have to flip the ratio, or play some one around the jamie stoddard line at best. Maybe they really like Corcoran, who had awful testing. 17 linemen out jumped him at the combine. Think he was the worst testing wr/skill player drafted this year. A bunch of DL beat him in every single measurable at the combine while being 40 lbs heavier. We should be looking at other teams NI wr cuts this year, one way or another.

Depends on how we decide to do the roster. We could start 2 imps and use the Canadians in place of a DI, or we could start 1 Canadian and roster an imp back up. We could end up with 3 imp lbers, but If we do I think we are likely worse off. Our jones is limited in what he can do, new jones is far less limited, kyrie is a shadow of his former self, Ayers is the guy I want to see kept/played/developed more than any other imp lber. Unless some thing drastic changes. next week or two we have Shay join us up here, Kyrie is an easy walk away from guy, and Tony jones limitation in the pass game makes him easily replaced by Jonathon jones, and Ayers. Plus we got Makonzo and the role of the dime will. Now maybe Kyrie has found the fountain of youth, or Tony jones has found prime bighills range in pass pro, but I sure would bet against either of those things happening.

3 starting imp ol with 6 ol on the ar makes us soo much better on the field than 2 starting imp and 7 ol. Success in football largely boils down to protecting your passer, and disrupting the opposition passer. Las year we disrupted the other teams passer with the back end of our coverage. Our primary limiting factor last year and this year will be pass pro. And to best way to support our pass pro, is starting an IMP g in all likelihood, and instead of going an extra blocker on the line going with a guy like MCI in a 2 back set so we have an extra layer of protection on either side of zach. I'm hopeful schoen will return to form. We need mitchell/white/sterns and or a rookie to pan out really well. We have a margin for error with the number of bodies we have, but we don't have a margin for underachieving. Some one or maybe 2 wrs needs to step up big for us. Makonzo and the NI lbers are going to be huge for our ratio. If we can use Makonzo as our dime pack will instead of an imp that gives us a ton of help shaping up the roster. The hard part is going to be limiting our imp lber commitments.

Should be a big push by Guys like gowanlok, Novak, etc to take the last spot over a 7th ol. I’d be ok with schmeck taking Jake’s spot and being the 7th ol as the 7th dl. But short of injury I don’t think that happens.

My guess is with this timing he wasn’t gonna be physically ready or didn’t put in the work they were looking for. the elk also signed Jonathon rosery who I wish we never cut.

It is. I don’t think it’d be financially viable to have these guys playing all over. I think it’d have to atleast start out as a south Ontario to qubec thing. With in a 4 hour ish drive radius you have a ton of infrastructure. It you send kids there who aren’t gonna be in the cfl, give them a chance to make it and 25-35k, you’ll scoop up a huge portion of the guys who fall out of the league. I might add globals as well. Say a limit of 5 globals and 5 Americans per team.

100% over due. I think you could run it out of a satellite market like the xfl did for a while. Ontario probably gives you the most places to play and teams to pull support from. Though for greedy reasons I’d want it in the parties. You could run a spring league of 5-6 games then run an in season league of say 8 games. that way you have every one available for cfl tcs, you scoop all the cut kids, and if any take big steps they are available mid season for teams that need injury replacements.

https://3downnation.com/2025/05/04/blue-bombers-gm-kyle-walters-cfls-tweaked-roster-rule-stinks-for-late-round-draft-picks/ TLDR, not a rule change just enforcement change. 1/3 if guys sent back make an ar for 1 game, 1 notable impact player recently. For us, this years pick Iwinosa Uwubanmwen won’t be in camp this year and will be a none counter next year. Also last years picks Kalra and Vlahogiannis won’t be in camp.

Thought I’d throw out the remaining schedule till kick off May 7th, rookie camp. May 10th cut down to 85 players excluding none counters May 11th TC opens May 13th cut down to 75 players May 24th first pre season game, at home vs ssk 4pm est kick off May 30th 2nd pre season game in ssk 9pm est kick off May 31st training camps close June 12th week 2 our first game at home vs bc 730 cst kick off. We will have a bit of extra time to finalize our game day roster, practice and be under the sms to start the season with the week 1 bye.

I mean, surely he can punt really poorly at worst. Just like our current punter.

I mean, I never wanted to like blm or see him in the cfl post career but he sure made me do it.

Yup. People forget he was a db in the NFL for 4 years. He played special teams for ott. He had like 150 tackles in the NFL. Guy was a blood n guts gritty tough football player. And to meet him as a person, humble down to earth smart and classy. lol we can hate the player and love the guy. Just like blm.

Nah the fact he’s got this sub par fit from an excellent program deep with coaches speaks volumes to how high quality a person and coach he is. The chris jones type move would be sliding into a program that under achieved in a lesser or sub optimal spot so you can slither up into the hc spot with any on field turmoil. Kerry Joseph is a great guy, very very mos like in character attitude work ethic and leadership.

Former cfler Kerry Joseph took an ast coach job in Texas, he’s going to be a special defensive ast. He’s been a qb coach the last few years in the nfl. A college job like Texas is a good gig, but special assistant on the D side isn’t great for longevity. He’s was pretty close to being jobless this season. He’d be a great target for a team up here, especially for fresh blood on O and qb grooming. And to groom as a hc.

Cam Peterson is a 6’5 280 dt from southern, parts of 2 seasons had 50 tackles 4 sacks 9.5 tfl. 5.54 40 was disappointing, but 34” vert and almost 10’ broad is good. Played 3t-4i which fits well with what we do. Kicked around the nfl work outs/camps a bit. Sounds like a guy coaches really liked down there.

29 rushing tds in 25 games too. 5’7 220lbs, talk about a wrecking ball build. 4800 yards and 80tds in high school too. His measurables are not great athletically, but his quickness and acceleration are very good. Hes got great cut back and hesitation moves, and he’s a tough north south runner. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Quinton-Cooley-RB-WakeForest

Didn’t Kerry Joseph do it once or am I crazy? And cut lucky, good moves all around. I’m excited to see what Bailey brings. Even if some one else plays like their hair is on fire, short of injury I don’t think any one is changing the top3. when elgersma gets out of mini camp and doesn’t get an nfl deal (mini camp invite is a pretty raw deal for the players these days, it’s like a coaching clinic, no longer a try out for camp) we bring him in, we cut the worst of the rest of the QBs. I like chase’ arm talent, but we tear through rookie QBs at warp speed. Talented or not. It takes a lot for a rookie qb to earn a long term pr spot. It is as likely that a qb is gone and another rookie is in before elgersma even gets here. Hopefully elgersma doesn’t drag his heels hoping for an nfl pr invite after minicamp. He needs to get here asap after that imo. Having mini camp and getting here too late would be a big blow to year one development.
