Lemon probably bet the over on “games started by Shawn Lemon in 2024”, that’s why he’s back

Worth putting into context: some of us have been discussing football with eachother for nearly 20 years

I just think it’s weird that you want to start Jake Kelly or Miles Fox because they can “grow into” a role but you don’t want to let Kramdi “grow into” his role and you didn’t want to let Evan Holm “grow into” his role. The messaging is inconsistent and let’s be honest, it’s no different than the major beef you seem to have with O’Shea: he plays favourites. So do you, they just aren’t his favourites. At least admit it 😂

how many years on Earth do I need before I talk like a robot?

Hahaha honestly, with the way we’ve used that spot I’m definitely willing to give Cole a look and see if he pops off the page but Kramdi is nowhere near the biggest problem we have at LB. I’m also pretty confident he’s only going to continue to get better. He did well for what was essentially a very raw player, not coming in with the NCAA pedigree or history and I there’s still a lot left to develop there in my opinion That being said, I wouldn’t be upset with three new LB starters when week 1 hits

new profile picture

I find it very interesting, because lots of people get caught up in our roster management (myself included) but not many people seemed to notice that Kramdi was very much a rotational guy and was subbed out a lot last year. They seem to have a pretty good plan for him and his usage and I’m happy to let them keep rolling with it. He didn’t get handed a job last year, he stole it from a trusted veteran American and he only got better as the year went on.

I mean, I would imagine he’s *technically* right but someone needs to tell him that in a case like this, *technically* isn’t the side of the argument you want to be on.

Really don’t get the Kramdi hate. He’s solid. Always around the ball. Does his job well. You need the reliable guys just as much as you need the flashy guys, they set the flashy guys up to make those big plays.

Seems like guys for the sake of continuity, which I like. But let’s see these new guys get some opportunities. Curious to see who can step up.

Is it even a mistake? There’s like one guy drafted after him that is relevant in the league and it’s Barnes who got taken almost 20 picks later

if that’s the game they were playing, they would just “suspend” these guys

Yeah, seems that way especially now. Or do they take that cash and sign Kongbo instead? That ship has sailed I guess, but you never know.

Hamilton cut Terry Godwin That’s a surprise to me. He can be a difference maker in this league for sure. I don’t know how you afford him if you’re the Bombers, but he’ll play somewhere in this league for sure.

Meh. The whole draft was terrible.

Looks like you had the numbers more or less bang on, but they didn’t cut the four “no shows”, probably just suspended Fayad, DL Jordan Lewis, DL David Green, Randolph, WR Bryce Mitchell, WR Keontaye Thompson, K Jose Borregales and …. Anthony Bennett

100% we’re reading too much into this Players will get paid for promo appearances, that doesn’t mean some players won’t still volunteer their time and that doesn’t mean businesses won’t pay other players for things they do on their own.

They do that for free

The funny thing is, this is exactly the kind of stuff a good reporter would learn and ask about. **** are they ever lazy

Impossible to simplify it that much

True but I’d rather win cups

Milt Stegall looks pretty good

Brand new turf, brand new team, brand new game for a lot of these guys, I would assume the coaching staff isn’t asking them to go 0 to 100 and risk injury on day one. We know our staff looks at so much more than their on-field stuff, these guys are going to make an impression or get a chance to for sure, but I doubt it’s balls to the wall right out of the gate.

Not sure what else you’re going to expect from rookie camp day one, I would assume it’s mostly conditioning drills and very half effort reps
