Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
well apparently they saw some the errors of their ways....or so we were sold, so hopefully thats one of them....cause it crippled us for several yrs running If I was a betting man I'd say we break camp with ZC...Perkins and Wilson as he is the only guy with any relevant experience.....for that "just in case moment" but how they use the 2 others will be interesting. I think Perkins will be the actual backup and a guy we build some packages around to get him nicely integrated, and Wilson stays as the short yardage guy for most part

dont think Wilson tho really been giving a chance....he showe something in yr one...has poise and presence...best arm....but last yr with Dinglenuts as OC was a waste and everyone actually regressed...Make or break for Wilson tho this yr...and I actually think Perkins is gonna look impressive....so if Wilson doesnt shoot the lights out and look legit, he likely gone Elgersma is a project and really shouldn't be counted on anything but that this yr...or even next if he signs....He is a CIS trained QB who had some success in college against 85 percent of players who were glorified high school stars finishing off their football lives, and a big part of his success.....and hasnt played meaningful football going on 2 yrs now....No CIS QB is gonna be a factor early on in career...if ever. People like to push it...TSN especially and when has it happened....Just look to recent with FORD....Uber athletic, all the things you want in a pro.....Except abilty to make it work in the pros...looked good against Canadian College kids.....but in pro's a different ball game Elgersma sure has a better arm....even still tho....doesnt compute to immediate success and to expect it right outta the gate....is just asking to flop

Pointless picking any of the remaining scraps up...serves zero purpose really and we need to just go with our guys and like mentioned by other's...give whoever comes out as number 2 actual playtime during the yr when we can....and just doesnt have to be in a blow out, or an end of game pointless reps Be it Wilson...(does he step up) as he has the best arm in camp, though have yet to see Perkins up close...Or Perkins who I may think actually impresses and isnt the typical kinda first yr i the pro's guy we usually bring in....Looking forward to the battle with him and Wilson...The greek kid gives me no sense of him being anything, and likley cut, and the other nice intriguing rookies we signed are just that....future prospects and a big nothing burger for this yr Where we failed in past...and not just at QB is giving backups and guys with potential no meaningful reps ...ever....that has to change

Busted!! I will show myself out now..I got coaching to learn 😁 Yeah we would on Fridays sometimes hit the Beer Bash in the oak room at U of M back in the day...with Walby...Dave Black could pound them back too As younger players we would then bounce between Strawberries and Scandals...West and Jones loved that scene and usually Quincy Williams and Bovell made those trips...Quincy loved his whiskies...R.I.P to the big fella

Yeah he kinda sucked his way off too JJ brings experience...and also returned kicks in college and averaged i believe a shade over 24 yards a kick...so is already miles ahead If Vaval grabs an actual roster spot...or we allow our Canadian LB's to assume a bigger role...he could technically be a quite solid DA for us...backup returner..change of pace back..plus he can catch

Yeah...goes both ways too...with even more out in space takes of certainty with zero potential inside knowledge..minimal football I.Q...or actual knowledge of the inner workings and how organizations generally do things is beyond amazing...just saying

And we could prob do so with ratio if we "had" to Pretty sure any coach with half a brain if he could do it ratio wise would use a high skill NFL rb...in his prime yrs over a young Canadian kid who still has growing to do

https://static.cfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/WINNIPEG-at-HAMILTON_SEPT-12.pdf we did it before....several times...and heres an example Swap out Ayers for Ceresna....swap out Persons for another legit DT...Totally doable...Bailey also comes in for any one of the bottom end Canadians...and if we sign say a Gittems and go 3 Canadian recievers...even more options...

they were lots last yr....easily done playing him at SAM makes us even weaker than that Allen played well in pre-season and in camp at Corner, but we have lots of options how we do it

yeah we were already transitioning the safety thing last yr And Griffin is just too goo to keep off the field, as how can you exclude one of your best tacklers, and a guy who can oplay great coverage at 220 pounds...you just cant Him and Woodbey I can see Younger using the heck outta in many ways, And our oline situ which was looking kinda bleak last yr....is in good shape for yrs to come with youngester in Randolph and Vpool...Vibert...Wallace and Broxton who prob has at least 4 good yrs in him

well Kramdi was worked and used at safety already...And Griffin was used at SAM and was our best SAM in yrs since Darby before he got yanked for Kramdi 3 import oline is easy...especially if we go 3 canadian recievers, but we dont even have to....Have a C and Guard...BO...Demski and another Cdn reciever...thats 5...Lawson and Kramdi on defence..theres the 7...And you rotate in Shay/Smith....Bailey....easy peasy

I think we knew we would be landing Broxton before we re-upped Big Stan and he gonna be a big part of the lineup regardless...Broxton will be his replacement next yr, and he has also played RT too, so Stan has earned to be in his spot, and compete for it....and if in camp the 2 Tackles show they deserve to be playing then Stan I bet becomes the super 6th and will be on the field a lot regardless....and what a backup to have if a tackle goes down Yeah he is 40....but he really showed no real drop in play last yr, and times when it seemed he would at times get beat wide...was it an issue of him compensating a bit to his right with Wallace growing pains and Kolo...just being Kolo?...Me thinks so
