    With teams struggling financially coming out of Covid, new owners, teams for sale, and some depleted facilities, I do NOT see the CFL adding more salaried positions. You can't just keep adding more roster spots without spreading the money around. So, CFLPA is not going to take less for more spots. CFLPA should to focus on player safety and getting as much money for the existing roster spots as possible.

    Didn't think it was possible that his 2nd effort would be worse than his first, but he managed to do it. Arku first overall? Us taking a player at 8th not even ranked in cfl top twenty scouting bureau rankings? Muembi ahead of Straker? And as mentioned no olineman in a draft said to be the best for oline in years.?

    My take for the Bombers: 8. Okpoke 17. Mueller 20. Duncan-Busby 28. Hladiuk 37 Berta 40. Muembi 46. D-Line (Tackle) 55. D.B. (Teams) 64. D-Line (Edge/Teams) 73. L.B. (Teams)

    Another option would be adding one or two practice roster spots for Canadians.

    Fir sure? There are people pining to know. Perhaps you could spruce up your comment a bit, wooden you?
  8. Bighill would do better and last longer if the d-line kept the 340lb behemoths off him. Which is another way of saying we need a dominant nose tackle.
  9. did we not have a Canadian punter in camp last year...who basically got bypassed and ignored as our coaches were all gaga over goofy Ausie style kicks? and then continued with it as our coverage on teams enhanced their suck all yr? We should have just had Castillo kick long bomb field goals with lotsa hang to allow our coverage guys to get down there as opposed to last year where the returner had usually 20 yards of free space to get to top speed and find the seams before we had anyone relatively close to disrupting the return...let alone make a tackle...we sucked so bad last year...was embarrassing
  10. I have nothing to add other than I have been laughing about Kelly being referred to as "Chode" all day.
  11. How old is bob cameron? No doubt still the best punter in winnipeg the last year.
  12. Maybe Sam_Canadian can punt..
  13. Spelled...just as it sounds.... Lorenzo...Von Matterhorn... Two Ts....

    In theory, what you are saying is sound. In practice clubs will not and cannot devote enough of their time away from the main roster to slowly develop anyone. Practice time is limited in our league. Actual players need every rep they can get and giving them up to half timers. they will not be in pads for all but a couple practices a year. Rubbing shoulders with vets, and practicing on their own is not development. Being token rostered players that don't play won't help anything. Sure the odd guy might break through to a full time job but making peanuts on a PR for a shot a couple years down the line is not going to be appealing to many. You are thinking these guys coming out of CIS don't know how to weight train or how to play the game? They know. There are very few late bloomers that come along and break out after a couple of years. If you wanna add 3 spots to the roster for NATs you might be able to fine tune a few guys to specialist roles on teams. That's about as good as it will probably get for guys of the developmental level you are talking about. I really don't feel that 1 or 2 out of 6 would ever develop into a starting role in this scenario. 1 in 20 maybe. Take a look at the drafts, how many drafted guys end up as starters and these are the guys that have demonstrated an ability to potentially play pro ball either thru their game tape or their physical attributes. Maybe 1 in 10 draft picks end up as a starter another 2 out of 10 as teamers or specialists and that is in a couple of good draft years. Thinking that with some extra time that undrafted guys will attain the same success is pretty wishful thinking. By the time each team gets into the 7th round of the draft there isn't much hope for that draft pick let alone picking up the scraps after that.

    isn't a very sound path to development and eventual playing time. It is not sound? What are you thinking in that regard? They will be at every practice. They will have instruction from the positional coaches. They will have mentorship from the starters in their position. And during the practices they will be playing their heart out. And they will be working out on their own before and after practice. They will also learn a new and better way of weight training. They will be living in a different world than their amateur experiences. They will learn grit from rubbing shoulders with seasoned veterans. They will be dressed and in the lineup for nine games, and may be more if there added to the full-time roster temporarily because of injury. In those nine games that will likely have some special teams work. Or they might be put into the game in short yardage situations. They will be doing guided film work. They will be totally immersed with the whole team through thick and thin. What kind of learning is that? You don't think the six will develop so much more than anything they've seen in junior or college? And on top of that, they will have a chance to play instead of sitting in an office someplace with no football future path. Not every one of the six will stay in the league but one or two or three of them will eventually get to a starting role. Don't you think? Anyway, if you don't like six half timers, just add three more Canadian players to the roster size. They can develop that way. Further, the CFL PA should be happy because they have expanded permanently the number of jobs for the players. Negotiating for that the fantastic!

    Add a spot for a Canadian QB that doesn't count against the cap. Maybe make it a Canadian trained university spot.

  33. That 35 year old punter was released prior to game 18
  34. Ended the season on the pr (unless he was cut before idr) which makes him a fa, who we haven’t signed. Offence lost. You don’t win gcs in the modern era scoring in the low 20s with less tds than the other team. 2 games, 419 passsing yards 2 picks 0 passing tds. That’s how you lose gc games. Fajardo put up 290 3 tds and 1 pick. It’s an offensive, passing league. The two loses blame starts and ends at qb. Other players and positions could’ve won the game for us. But we lost it on offence.
  35. Sure, and we might well draft one global punter if the other guys we picked aren’t coming (doesn’t seem like they are) with two kickers in camp though and one punter I don’t think we see more than one leg if that.

    They could have given the MOP to Brady who'd be an excellent face of the CFL but they gave it to King Douchebag.
