Last post by Jesse - Today at 01:02:56 AMI will always love Milt as former player but I generally disagree with every opinion he has on the CFL. And as a TSN employee he very much follows the party line.

Last post by Tecno - Today at 01:02:54 AMQuote from: dd on May 14, 2026, 11:24:34 PMAs much as I hope Schoen is back, you have to be realistic, second time he's injured his knee, he's done.
That's the safe bet. However, Masoli blew out his knee 3 times and he went injury-free in '25, dressing for every game and actually playing a ton of reps in a couple.
Sometimes they can recover. Of course, sitting in the pocket is a bit easier than doing cuts on routes.

Last post by dd - May 14, 2026, 11:48:22 PMQuote from: blue_gold_84 on May 14, 2026, 01:16:27 PMBarry Trotz was the Capitals head coach when they won the Stanley Cup in 2018. Boudreau was head coach of the Wild at that time.Yes and no. There is alot more wrong with the Leafs than Berube, but he was part of the problem too. Losing Marner and not replacing his 100 points with anyone is on the GM, but not adapting your game plan and playing a more defensive structure, because you can't score by the buckets, and consistently giving up 10-15 more shots than you take in a game, is a coaching problem.
I don't think Berube was the issue in Toronto, or at least not a glaring issue. Not that I care because I love it when the Leafs are bad, but I think he became the fall guy/scapegoat for the organization's recent failures.

Last post by dd - May 14, 2026, 11:35:57 PMQuote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on May 13, 2026, 06:08:45 PMA few interesting early cuts around the league.Pass on all of the above. They were cut for a reason, they're brutal.
-Hamilton Tiger-Cats cut CFL veteran Keaton Bruggeling
-Argos cut quarterback Jarret Doege, defensive lineman Thiadric Hansen, linebacker Jordan Herdman-Reed,
-Elks cut former Bison QB Jackson Tachinski trying out as a WR.
The Bombers would come out ahead if they dumped their 3 backup import QBs and grabbed Jarret Doege right away, he would give them the smart experienced backup they need while Elgersma develops.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: 2026 Main Training Camp - ...
Last post by Jesse - May 14, 2026, 11:34:51 PMDoesn't seem like a ton of great news from DT today:
Derek Taylor🏈
@DTonOB
Bombers camp Day 5. Bombers announce they're released rookie receiver Kenneth Womack.
Womack did not practice Wednesday (presumably injured).
Looks like Nic Demski is not participating today. He's dressed but no helmet.
I believe he got nicked in the second half of yesterday's practice and sat out a couple periods.
Adding to the Not Dressed list:
RET Trey Vaval
DT Cam Lawson
DT Tanner Schmekel
Gavin Cobb running in Demski's spot early in practice. Joey Corcoran up with the 1st team.
Riders announce they've signed Winnipegger Trae Tomlinson. The 5-foot-8 defensive back went undrafted in this year's Canadian Draft.
Pokey Wilson with the one-handed stab on a bit of a comeback route!
Not a lot of success in the padded pass rush drills for 1st-rounder Nuer Gatkuoth. Got swallowed up on one by Micah Vanterpool
A little extra-curricular anger after one rep between Kemari Munier-Bailey and Michael Mazzccua. All the other OL/DL jumped in immediately to break it up
Gatkuoth had a much better time in the reps against TEs (Dante Daniels and Michael Chris-Ike)
Ontaria Wilson getting checked out by the trainer. To me it looks like he's favouring his jaw/neck.
Gavin Cobb slid over into Wilson's spot at receiver and Christian Frederiksen jumped up into the first team.
____________________________________________________________________________
Ed Tait's reports:
Wallace dressed for every game last year and started 15 — as well as the Eastern Semi-Final — as he grabbed the left guard spot left vacant after Liam Dobson signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Over the winter he attacked his training, working out regularly with Neufeld. former Blue Bomber Chris Kolankowski, Willie Jefferson, Tanner Cadwallader and Tui Eli under the watchful eyes of Strength & Conditioning Coordinator Brayden Miller and Strength & Conditioning Assistant Liam Grace.
And with the help of his wife, his weight was down to the 327 mentioned above. Just for context, he started camp last year at 345 pounds and, he admitted, "it went up from there."
"They held me accountable and that really helped me," he added. "I owe it to them for really being on my *** throughout the offseason
https://www.bluebombers.com/2026/05/14/blue-bombers-training-camp-day-5/
3 THOUGHTS FROM DAY 5:
1 Nic Demski was at practice but a non-participant and with him taking a knee for the day Gavin Cobb slid into his slotback position. New offensive coordinator Tommy Condell clearly sees something in Cobb, the University of Manitoba product who is now entering his fourth professional season.
Cobb has been working with the starters at wide receiver and his versatility — he has also returned kicks — is valuable. The club does plan to start three Canadians in the receiving corps in Demski, Tommy Nield and some combination of Cobb, Kevens Clercius and Joey Corcoran. Also in camp is 2026 CFL Canadian Draft pick Josh Jack of St. Mary's.
We've also seen a ton of sets featuring Michael Chris-Ike and Dante Daniels at tight end and fullback.
2 Nuer Gatkuoth got more work today after watching a lot during his first full day as a Blue Bomber and you can see his quickness instantly. How he fits into a very deep defensive line group will be interesting. Among the newer DL guys who have taken turns jumping out through camp are Michael Fletcher and Arnold Young and Kydran Jenkins, Kemari Munier-Bailey and De'Shaan Dixon.
We wrote about Dixon
We wrote about Dixon earlier during rookie camp and he has been getting a ton of work with the defensive 1s up front opposite Willie Jefferson.
3 Elgersma opened the day with the second offensive unit, but Terry Wilson also had reps with that crew. Just a note to fans, too: don't read anything into reports on X — including by yours truly — about an interception here or there. All the QBs throw them in camp and it hardly sets off alarm bells unless they happen frequently and then in the two preseason games.
Head coach Mike O'Shea on the QBs:
"It's a good group. The room is skilled, they're qualified and they're good guys and they all have the ability to lead. We'll let the preseason games unfold and see where that takes us.
"Obviously, we don't need preseason games to say that Zach is a stud and then how they all sort out after that is... we wouldn't be doing them any favours if we determined on Day 5 of main camp where they all slotted."
