Matt Dunigan not returning to CFL on TSN: sources - 3DownNation It could be health related. I doubt if he has any money concerns. I hope he has a wonderful retirement. Matty deserves it.

May 18May 18 comment_751273 Blue Bombers Training Camp Report | Day 7 - Winnipeg Blue Bombers Quote -Not practising were OL Eric Lofton, DBs Jamal Parker, Jr. and Josh Hagerty, DT Jake Thomas, WR Dalton Schoen and DT Cameron Lawson. Returning to work were WR Kody Case and DE Kemari Munier-Bailey. -WR/KR Peyton Logan has been moved to the one-game injured list, meaning he would miss the season opener. Â

We're not sure when Lawson will be back and Thomas proved he's our most durable DL and knows Younger/Hall system the most. So, why not give most of the reps to Schmekel and Kornelson? Â

Â That makes sense. Honestly though I don't think either Shcmekel or Kornelson is good enough to be in a regular rotation.

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.Â

A good nose tackle. I noted that he has a marine-type shaved haircut, which would make him a short-haired Pointer. I'll show myself out.

He does have the punch move, bull rush or power to play  nose.Â

Lawson basically has had 1 real major injury Not that I don't like Jake..he just not good...or best option last few yrs and now serves zero purpose...zero upside..and just slows down any transition another yr...and vet leadership? ..we have tons so that "excuse/reasoning" holds zero validity as well

Year after year there are at least one or two vids of Kola getting absolutely destroyed by a DT.  Last year it was either Adams or Woods making him look stupid.  Just saw a clip of #94, Adams again - put Kola on roller skates.  Just insane that the team doesn’t see any need to upgrade center.

Walters, Osh & Younger don't feel the need to upgrade the DL at the 0-2 techs either. Haven't since we last won the GC in 2021. Coincidence?????

Coincidence????? We play like we constantly eat Cheetos on the defensive line. Worst in the CFL. Adams and Woods were either left off the game day roster or hurt for long stretches last year. I do see your point though, having our DT’s brutalize Kola in camp actually isn’t saying much… but the dl was still better during rare live snaps when JT was on the sideline. JT taking most of the snaps and not having a Nevis or Stove type next to him for sure been a key issue.  Really bad composition and use of DE rotation also frustrating to see.
