Nield is significantly better than Wolitarsky. Like I get the love for Drew but no. Drew was a product of the o system he was put in because when they let him go he went on to do absolutely nothing where Nield has had success with Toronto and Sask now.

Agreed. But year 2 for Vaval and apparently he’s big on film and learning so maybe he is the best option. I’d imagine they keep another guy around tho cuz ya smart thing to do is keep him fresh. But maybe that other guy is a returner also. There’s options. I don’t recall us rostering extra American DBs last year tho. 420 linebackers tho. I think you may see something similar again cuz JSK Wilson woodsy jones Kramdi Shay smith Novak etc etc etc makes me think 420 linebackers again but maybe Kramdi and a guy like smith could by hybrid DB types.

Anyone know what happened to JSK. I saw he hurt his knee a few days ago and needed help off but no updates since really. And I’d imagine moxie at one corner and likely Vaval at the other is the plan so maybe there’s a spot open in the DB field but I’d assume as backup cuz moxie Nichols holm Vaval makes sense to me so prob looking for a dude who is a bit more versatile. Maybe can play corner and half and teams.

I get that honestly and actually kinda feel that way myself. My first reaction was confidence is nice but dude might be in for a bit of a surprise. I’m not sure he actually understands the talent level in the CFL. By all means I hope he dominates and takes the other end spot and doesn’t look back and we got ourselves a stud ratio breaker on the DL. I mean I hope he dominates but something tells me he won’t immediately.

Some releases. Tait was high on McGhee and some of you were high on Banks The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the following roster moves. Released from roster: American defensive back Michael Dixon American defensive back Jordan Taylor American defensive back Alijah McGhee American defensive lineman Eric Black American linebacker Aaron Smith American receiver Jahmal Banks American offensive lineman Joe More American offensive lineman Tariq Stewart

Time to send Helle home.

Yes. Agreed about younger. He’s a very vet loving coach for sure. Hall seemed more open to playing younger guys. I agree that I don’t think Osh is making o and D decisions either, teams? For sure. Canadians? Agreed with the last few spots he decides who but it’s likely a collaboration effort from top to bottom in general. Seems we got a few spots open on D tho so will be interesting to see who takes them. LB will be interesting also cuz how do you keep jsk jones Woodbey Wilson all on the active roster. You just don’t.

I think if you played any sort of competitive sport you understand the coaches certainly have their favourites who can do no wrong and pretty much can get away with mistakes every game cuz hey coaches kid really or rich guys kid who paying for the jerseys. That applies in pro sports also and not just football, hockey coaches love their vets and Gud glue guys also. Ppl say Kolo and the marine and guys like that, most hockey teams have bums like that also, Matt Hendrix was a jet at one point cuz he was a good room guy apparently. Osh plays favorites for sure and when final cuts are made and it’s basically last years roster plus free agent signings, you will see. But sports are filled with alpha types who maybe don’t always get along so maybe you need those “Gud vets” around. The problem is having 2 many “Gud” vets. Having 1 Jake Thomas is ok. Having more than 1 probably isn’t ideal roster optimization. Pretty famous football movie called Rudy based on true story shows you that sometimes working hard and doing whatever it takes doesn’t matter. In the end it took the players offering to not play for Rudy to play. Yes dude was small but all heart there. He never really got a fair chance did he. Lots of guys don’t in pro sports.

It’s not a terrible idea.

I dunno how you honour Nichols. Not sure he deserves the ring of honour honestly. He doesn’t as he was a game manager with most of his big yards coming in the final few moments. He deserves recognition but how, I’m not sure.

I’m thinking yes. Had to have.

It’s year 2. I think Kramdi started taking reps year 2. Osh a bit Sean McVay there with not giving drafted rookies reps year 1. Nuer might change that.

You are playing the stupid what if game, but Perfetti was rated in the top 10. Jarvis was not. What if instead of the leafs winning the lottery we do and draft Matthews. I mean really. We didn’t draft Jarvis. We took the better prospect at the time. Jarvis would be playing with 55 and Connor. Vilardi wouldn’t be here. Dubois wouldn’t have been traded to LA. Our second line would be nobody at all. Ehlers wasn’t the damn difference for us just like he isn’t for a stacked Carolina team who has been a top team for years now. Stankhoven and Blake are. Slavin is. Anderson is. I mean to pretend 1 guy is the reason is just it’s the stupidest **** ever man. Carolina is a 4 line team. Ehlers was playing 3rd line for a long while this year. Honestly. Should have drafted kaprizov 2 right with your crystal ball of knowledge cuz he was taken in the 5th round even. Honestly. Pretending Jarvis was the better prospect is hilarious. Put Jarvis with Toews and Nyquist and you calling him out like a hypocrite also.

Former bomber news but sorta related to current so with Gats coming up now maybe Jamaal can show him a thing or 2. very cool on the bombers part here 3DownNationFormer All-CFL player Jamaal Westerman guest coaching wit...The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have brought in Jamaal Westerman as a guest coach for this year’s training camp at Princess Auto Stadium. The 41-year-old played three seasons with the team, earning an All-C

Britton the only one on there really worth mentioning. what’s the story with jaworski tho. Osh was asked about him and hinted maybe he’s not actually retired. Britton? He might be for real tho as he was all last year also pretty much.

Jarvis was never a jet. If the jets picked him he wouldn’t be playing with Sebastian Aho and Ehlers and the jets were 7 wins from a cup in 2018.

Any releases yet? And I guess humour is subjective cuz that wasn’t overly funny. More kinda stupid and a waste of time kinda like attending camp so it all makes sense. There’s been plenty of years we all pick a dude and declare him the man then he gets cut first time he can. It is what it is. Who cares. Football is back. I’d love to see a surprise early release of a lb but that’s not gonna happen.

Wonder what Vince McMahon thinks. I was expecting a post from him.

Hunt wasn’t here long but man that dude made an impact. Would have loved to have him opposite Willie or even over Willie for sure. Dude was another level. Imagine both together in their primes. Unstoppable. With Brown and Ceresna. Just unstoppable

Milt would likely be most impactful but Brown or Bolden might make us better overall. Prime Doug Brown maybe even Prime Philip Hunt would prob make us better overall tho. I think with Brady on O, we are ok, we prob don’t need that superstar receiver, wouldn’t hurt but the D guys would just make us harder to play against. Honestly prime bighill over tony jones any day. Makes us better. How bout this. Prime Doug over Lawson Prime Bighill over Jones Prime milt over white Prime Bolden over either CB since fantasy talk the other corner could be Alford. Prime hunt opposite Willie maybe even Jeffcoat but hunt was the man beast Pick 1 ok fine my heart says milt cuz he would get a cup ring but my head says hunt bolden or bighill would make us better overall, lets say Big cuz he’s miles better than Jones and well ceresna plus Lawson is ok I think but don’t have that hunt end tho or bolden corner. Bighill over Jones tho I think makes us better

You could trade the pick to Seattle for a Shane wright or Beniers. Maybe Anaheim for a mctavish. There’s several who fit the category actually. Guys who are young and have no trade protection who could use a change of scenery. Nemec and Mercer in New Jersey. Jersey would be my Helle trade destination tho. Trade our pick for that young 2 C as mentioned above then move Helle for Nemec and nj 1st. Guys on 1st or 2nd contracts don’t normally got trade protection. And not everyone has trade protection either. I’m not trading pick 8 for a dude with a year or 2 left. I’m trading it for a younger guy prob on his 2nd contract. Dudes either signed long term or short but has many rfa years left. You don’t trade 8 for a 30 year old. 22 to 25 ideally age range I’d say.

Not fixed as the other ball with the leafs that was bouncing around would have given jets pick 1. Not sure how we got eliminated from pick 2 so quickly but… it is what it is. Rigged = Chicago or New York winning. I’m open to trading pick 8 tho. I actually think there’s a strong possibility that since McKenna isn’t generational and a winger that a d man could go 1st overall. Honestly I’m not sure McKenna is nhl ready. He might need another year. Leafs could go Reid 1st overall.

Elgersma just slipped on a pile of snow and is done for the season.yea it snowed. lol. Barely anything but enough to end seasons before they begin.

Sundin is a fine hire. Chayka isn’t. I’d hire Mats Sundin as president of hockey ops but I wouldn’t touch Chayka

I’d say unpredictable from day to day cuz 3 days ago we almost turned the AC on here. Today sucks tho. Seriously. Plus 20 to plus 3 in 24 hours is the norm this spring.
