Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to johnzo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Danny Mac played behind Tom Clements? Danny Mac never did. The backups in 87 (Clements last year playing) were Tom Muecke & some kid named Pete Riley who never saw the field. John Hufnagel was released & signed by the Saskatchewan Roughriders. . -
Thanks, that's all I was talking about. You'd read the odd grousing here on MBB as well.
-
He was never totally accepted. By SOME fans. Not ALL fans. Like do we nee That's what I mean. Like how hard is it to understand that, Piggy???? The more high profile the Rider player, the more hate.
-
Dressler was never fully accepted. I would.
-
Demski is a special case being that he's from Winnipeg & played for the Bisons. Not his fault the Riders drafted him.

Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?
SpeedFlex27 replied to sportmentary2012's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I guess I have a hard time actually believing a professional coach with the much experience still hasn't figured it out yet. I;m more disappointed than angry. I could never imagine some the modern coaches saying that. McVay with the LA Rams, Harbaugh with the LA Chargers, Campbell in Detroit, Andy Reid in KC, Siriani in Philly. In the CFL, Dinwiddie in Ottawa, Maas in Montreal. Every training camp should be challenging & competitive. Same with practices & preparation during the season. I'm glad Osh is doing some self reflection & actually follows through on changes. -

Cal signed matt Dunigan to take his place in 1992. Danny Mac ended up in Edmonton. -

What was our Head Coach doing all season long? He talks like he didn't coach & just checked out leaving any responsibilty to others on the coaching staff. See,ms like Osh has just been coasting. Saying he has to take more responsibility in the day to day coaching of the team is just flabbergasting for a head coach of 12 years to even admit that. Then his comments in 2024 that training camp was too easy & laid back which led to our 0-4 start & a rash of long term injuries. Like, WTF??? How did Osh earn a 3 year deal coaching like that to hamstring the team if he just carries on like before???? -
One hit to the knees & both guys are done. Again. Bringing them back even after a 2 year absence is madness. Time to let them go. Rehab whatever they are entitled to & then cut them. Nield would be a welcome addition here. He can run downfield & make contested catches. Clercius is a tank. And runs like one. Can any former Rider receivers ever find happiness in the Blue & Gold? Would we Bomber fans accept Emilus or Nield? Look how hard it was for both Ryan Smith & Weston Dressler to play here. There was always a small group of Bomber fans who never forgave them for being former Riders.

It's 3 yards & a cloud of rubber pellets offense. Problem is, in the CFL that's 9 yards. Not 10. So, it'd never work. -
When they played him at WR & not inside. I've seen Galapagos tortoises with more speeds & moves than him. At their age, taking that year of means both careers are over. Both have had multiple knee injuroes to the same joint. One is bad enough but 2?

No surprise there. The ******* Jets. They'll work out a corpse if they think the dead guy or Jake Thomas will help them. -

The only way to beat a pressuring defense is the run game, quick 3 step drop & release, checkdowns out of gun or pistol. have a qb that can move the pocket or able to run & extend plays with his legs. It's unsustainable over an 18 game schedule. Which is why teams with a bad OL... lose on a consistent basis. -

I'm waiting for an announcement like this: HOGAN NOT RETURNING! For Immediate Release November 21, 2025: The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announce today that Offensive Coordinator Jason Hogan will not be returning for the 2026 season having decided to pursue coaching opportunities elsewhere. Head Coach Mike O'Shea thanks Jason for his hard work & dedication to the team. "Jason was a hard working & extremely knowledgeable coach who has an unquestioned work ethic & passion for the game. He worked well with me & the rest of the Bomber offense, in particular Zach. I wish Jason nothing but the best in his future coaching endeavours". -
It would be a huge risk signing one or both with the multiple knee injuries they have suffered in a salary cap world. Losing them again would have serious negative implications that it really isn't worth it anymore. It's to the point that it's not a matter of if but when they reinjure themselves again. And I feel I can speak of this based on the knee injuries I suffered when I was younger & the 2 knee replacements as well.
-
Streveler & Schoen can play elsewhere. If we bring them back we're in big, big trouble.
-
Call me cynical but this is done on purpose & is deliberate. Not for repairs but the timing.

So, along with your qb & five offensive linemen, the Double Wing has two running backs, wingback, tight end & two receivers. Yeah, that was a progressive offense. I'm sure Frankie Filchock & the rest of his 1949 Grey Cup champ Alouettes were all in on that. -

Why would Walters change? Posters think he will. Come free agency, we'll see. If all this talk about a reset is just that... talk. -

We played the Lions at PAS. Idon;t remember the score but we got smoked. I drove through the night to get to that game. I came by myself & sat with a friemd of mine as he had two season tickets. He left & went home. I went back to my hotel & checked out at 6am for the 14 hr drive back to Calgary. All I thought about driving back was just how bad the Bomber organization was. What a happy ride back that was. -

He said two years ago he wasn't tough enough in training camp. Not enough urgency. Then he says last season, he should have taken more of an interest in the day to day coaching of the team. Like how can a head coach with 12 years experience even say these things???? He just sounds totally disengaged. And Miller gave him a 3 year deal as President. Do you want more whine with your cheese? Dolegala had played enough with the Riders. Collaros nearly had his finger sliced off & you're yapping about Dolegala not playing??? At least he could perform. Zach couldn't. -
That's their whole bloody team. Yeah, good luck O'Day keeping the team together after winning the GC. Everyone will want a raise. Some substantially. They'll be one & done. Spending like Hervey does really did them well last season. But, is it worse than not spending at all? Then losing our top free agents & signing virtually no one like we did?

Are you serious? What you say makes no sense. With anyone there is always a chance. Who knows what might have happened had Dolegala played. Putting Zach back in was ridicu;ously stupid. He was unable to throw. Dolegala gave us a better chance to win over Collaros who couldn't grip the ball. How many pick sixes did Zach throw after he went back in?
