Last post by ModAdmin - Today at 05:22:08 AMQuote from: bunker on December 17, 2025, 04:46:13 PMI don't understand the enthusiasm for Eli. He's been trying to beat out Kolankowski, the worst starting centre in the league for a number of years, and has not succeeded. He's been even worse when played at guard. If you want to keep him around as a 6th O-lineman who can play centre in a pinch, fine, although I'd rather find and roster some younger Nat O-lineman with more upside.
I hear you saying Kolankowski is the "worst starting centre in the league" but haven't hear that anywhere but here. Eli is on the roster because he can back up a couple of positions. If you are suggesting we could upgrade the Oline, I would agree but criticism, when coming from a single source, this forum, can be taken at least with a grain of salt.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Demski - 2 year re-up
Last post by ModAdmin - Today at 03:49:22 AMBlue Bombers re-sign receiver Nic Demski to two-year contract
WINNIPEG, MB., Dec 18, 2025 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce that all-star receiver Nic Demski has signed a two-year contract extension through the 2027 Canadian Football League season. Demski had been scheduled to become a free agent in February.
Demski (5-11, 212; University of Manitoba; born December 14, 1993, in Winnipeg, MB) completed his third consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season in 2025, finishing with 67 receptions for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns.
His strong performance earned him a spot on the CFL West Division All-Star Team for the fifth straight year. Demski has led the Blue Bombers in receiving yards in each of the past two seasons. He now has 42 career receiving touchdowns and 494 career receptions for 6,285 yards, including his 2025 totals.
Demski has now moved into seventh place on the Bombers' all-time receiving yardage list with 6,285 yards. He also sits among the franchise's top scorers, with his 42 receiving touchdowns placing him high on the all-time list.
Originally selected by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the first round, sixth overall, of the 2015 CFL Draft, Demski returned to his hometown as a free agent in 2018. He has since appeared in 152 regular-season games and five Grey Cups, winning championships with the Blue Bombers in 2019 and 2021.
A Winnipeg product who starred at both the University of Manitoba and Oak Park High School, Demski has twice been named the Blue Bombers' Most Outstanding Canadian (2021, 2022).

Last post by bunker - Today at 01:17:47 AMQuote from: Tecno on December 17, 2025, 05:49:17 PMThe loyalty "problem" as it pertains to Fatboi has nothing to do with the loyalty "problem" with Schoen. Schoen is a top-3 NAT REC if fully healthy, worth gobs of money -- who is always hurt. Fatboi is a mediocre NAT DT who is never hurt.? Typo
Yes, both get helped by "loyalty", but it's in different ways. If we're loyal to Schoen and give him another shot, it's because we hope he'll be 2023 Schoen again. There's no hope Fatboi will ever be more than Fatboi (and that's ok).
Schoen is an import.

Last post by bunker - Today at 12:55:39 AMDefinitely an upgrade. But the OC was not the only thing ailing our offence.
Maybe he can convince some of his players to come over. Either Crum or Shiltz would be an upgrade for QB2. Both Addison and Hardy are getting a bit long in the tooth, but either would be an improvement over all our import receivers except maybe Wilson.

Last post by dd - Today at 12:31:10 AMQuoteI don't think there's a downside here.Oh for sure. I am th8nking the Collaros-Connell chemistry is going to lead to great things. He had a green Qb in Ottawa that threw waaay too many picks. You could tell last year Collaros wasn't happy with the play calling, that will change now

Last post by Jesse - December 18, 2025, 11:27:07 PMQuote from: bwiser on December 18, 2025, 09:56:02 PMColleros didn't have a great season in 2025 however I do think a lot of that had to do with the poor play of the offensive line. Oliveras numbers were down from previous years largely for the same reason.
Brady's numbers weren't down at all. He had less carries because he missed 4 games.
He had the same yards per carry as his previous couple of years and set a new career high in receptions and receiving yards.

Last post by dd - December 18, 2025, 11:15:21 PMKinda mixed on this one. It's good to get an experienced OC, BUT Ottawa's offense has stunk the last 2 seasons, was it personnel or play calling or both??
No doubt Collaros had some say into this and hopping they can regain their Hamilton era form
If Connell comes here, hope Crum follows him too and we get a real #2 Qb as well.
