2024/2025 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread
We might have used a bunch of the extended salary cap to front load two years for him so he’d be dirt cheap next year and after. Still wouldn’t love that move, but I could see some logic to it. Especially since they are married to Zach. (Who has had a really good camp)

Who gives a 37 year old qb coming off his worse season in years a future contract extension, before the start of the current season? Woof this is ugly and going to get worse. Even if zach is mop quality this year, it screams of “he plays till he gets carted off for good.” This would need to be the most team friendly deal ever to make any sense. 100% he’s the best blocker of the new WRs. TBH, Dmitch is the least engaged in blocking. Sterns is significantly better, but he’s one of those little blood n guts guys like dressler was. If sterns gets in games, every one is gonna fall in love with that kid. Yep should be very low guaranteed higher incentives.

He hasn’t started the step up yet from what I’ve seen and heard. Which is very disappointing to me. He could still do it. The first pre season game is pretty much the latest time he can start really showing out. Mos seems pretty high on white too.

No sight id rather see Does happen yeah. Guys play through every kind of injury. Not usually for to long though. I remember Harris playing hurt at a time he could barely walk back to the line. Then got pulled after a couple snaps.

I do agree, it is a real small sample so far though. I look forward to seeing him in pre season. Tbh sheahan looks better when he isn’t being rushed at game speed too. I’m very optimistic, this could be our best global draft yet.

Real good prospect as a rb, but i don’t think hes the kr/wr super sub guy

They do want hang time, they don’t thing highly of deep punts. Accuracy and control are foremost. Then hang time. Depth/leg power is pretty much last.

Give him a body guard so no rookie dbs make a terrible mistake

Qft. likely has to be able to out angle sheahan and have the depth control to optimize for shorter punts. From the bit I’ve seen it’d be an easy decision based on the frequent shanks we saw last year. At the same time, with the incredible talent in Evans leg combined with having just turned 24 and just strived up here, he should at worst be guaranteed a pr spot for a while.

Early on but he’s got a big leg.

Realistically, if Lawson was out we don’t need the ni dl starter. Full imp dl would be nasty too.

Agree. I think Lofton is on the verge already of being passed by both vanterpool and Randolph. Those two side by side on the right would be great. Yeah and honestly his upside at this point is not far off ayers floor.

He actually is fast as a dt, and he is not a pro nose. Hes a 3 tech here. He does have the punch move, bull rush or power to play nose.

Myron Mitchell was a guy they liked out of camp last year too. Maybe he took a step, if he’s our best wr right now we are pooched. What’s more concerning to me is we are not cycling guys out and air lifting new ones in. Its a hard year for WRs in camp, with the system change and need to prep two starting QBs for week 2 and 3. From what I’ve seen none of the QBs are where I would’ve hoped and expected. It’s a hard camp for them too. New system, no Jackson in yet, bunch of changes on the ol/rec core. Week 1, lots of rust to shake off and new guys to gel with. If we are gonna start off better than last year, we need a better performance this coming week and a to see a little some thing out of the offence in pre season game 1.

That’s how I see it generally for starters. Though I will say tony jones does look improved this year so far. If he keeps it up he and Jonathon jones will be a battle. I wouldn’t di kyrie. They’ve been playing him at mac in camp this week, I think they might seriously consider that and cut a good young backer sadly. I wouldn’t di a wil/Mac this year.

Cams been hurt once and is still recovering. You can’t say he can’t stay on the field.

2024/2025 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread
Yeah, he brings a ton to camp. Ideal 3tech type guy up here, if he can turn into a decent pass rusher from the 3. His weak punch knock will be offset by playing against Canadian guards. Hes also a guy that could likely play 4i in the 30 front. Hes got similar physical size and tool set to Casey Sayles. Isn’t as polished as a pass rusher but much better in run d.

I love shmekels motor and willingness to contribute. Nice utility too. But man, he doesn’t turn that into any thing in play on dl. I’d convert him to a ol. Hes a last Canadian on the roster guy, and kornelson looks like a tc body to me.

Bombers sign Kevin pointer out of wake forest. (Vegas rookie camp this year) 6’1 285lbs dt. He’s a fast for his size, very high motor 3 tech who is a tackling machine. Not a nose or a big pass rusher though he projects much better as a pass rusher here than down south.

Maybe Parker is a vet/rest day. Worried bout a bunch of guys though.

100%. Two killers. Elsbury is very similar to Devin adams last year. Insane size and athleticism combo. Raw, but might be worth polishing. A centre with that kind of athleticism would be crazy. Keim and Webb could steal a spot this year. Massive stir up for early camp. I feel like this is a two fold move, 1, Lofton has been banged up and we don’t want a default of Randolph at rt, and 2 the ol as a whole and the fresh imp batch has under performed expectations. From what I’ve seen, the dl has had a big advantage in play so far. Honestly I expected the ol to have the advantage.

All imports cut and signed. Elsbury, 6’5 305. C/G, was basically the 6th ol, but played a good bit. Exceptional athleticism, 9.84/10 relative athletic score from his pro day. Would’ve been the top interior ol athlete in the nfl combine, exceptional 10 yard time. https://hawkeyesports.com/sports/football/roster/player/tyler-elsbury Keim is 6’9 322 RT, very good athlete, not elite like elsbury but incredible size and length. https://byucougars.com/sports/football/roster/player/brayden-keim phillip Webb 6’5 265. Tremendous athleticism and 2 way edge. Blue chip prospect for sure https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Phillip-Webb-LB-LSU https://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/2025_nfl_draft_profile_phillip_webb_edge_jackson_state/s1_17135_41926912

Have to wait n see. Probably don’t have a good idea how bad any of these injuries are for a week atleast.
