Last post by Throw Long Bannatyne - February 06, 2026, 05:38:36 PMQuote from: GCn19 on February 06, 2026, 05:17:13 AM68.9% of his snaps in 2024 was at DE. He will definitely play both inside and out on our D but he excels at both. As a big man capable of playing DE he will likely play there in our 3 man fronts so that another big man can line up in the DT.
Where did you get that precise number? Now days it doesn't matter so much where they line up but DE's and DT's still have distinctly different responsibilities and dimensions, even though the jobs have morphed a bit, I see Ceresna as strictly a DT.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Bombers add former BC LB M...
Last post by CrazyCanuck89 - February 06, 2026, 05:17:05 PMQuote from: Blue In BC on January 29, 2026, 01:13:36 PMWe make assessments based on the information we see and the highlight videos. In those he appears to be an inside type of LB more often. Tackling stats suggest he's in on a lot of plays which also suggests MLB type.
Regardless it will depend on his speed and football IQ. Our LB's are set so he's injury insurance and might be a PR guy.
Could be right. Top 10 in tackles last year.
6 MLBs
3 WLBs
1 SLB

Last post by blue_gold_84 - February 06, 2026, 04:42:51 PMQuote from: theaardvark on February 06, 2026, 04:34:41 PMHeard last night the other guy was so drunk, he got tossed from the club, waited for McKenna and threw the first punch. Also heard that he had called McKenna's mother a whore. Insult my mother and throw a punch? You are going to go down, sir. And stay down.
The guy was looking for his 15 minutes, and got a broken jaw in the deal.
I think McKenna is going to walk away from this looking like a badass, not a felon.
It'll be interesting to learn what actually happened as more details emerge. If the other guy threw the first punch, then this changes the complexion of things entirely.
Where did you hear that, though?

Last post by theaardvark - February 06, 2026, 04:31:32 PMSeems to be a smooth route runner, lots of open space when he makes catches. But he can go up for the ball, and make contested catches.
Doesn't look like a big YAC guy, and we only get to see his catches in the clip, but more competition is great.

Last post by theaardvark - February 06, 2026, 04:17:13 PMQuote from: dd on February 05, 2026, 11:05:04 PMI think both wi11 move around on the 1ine so teams can't just doub1e the edges or chip b1ock with the RB. Offense is going to setup and then the D 1ine wi11 setup and attack. It's not going to be the straight rush 3 BS from 1ast year, we can ATTACK now. Not sure if Thomas knows what or how to generate pressure from the 1ine
Thomas has played too long in this league, for too many great coaches, to not bring a lot to the table. And he's been given 2 of the best at their positions to start with.
He will be fine.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Rasheed Bailey officially ...
Last post by theaardvark - February 06, 2026, 04:15:46 PMStill think we moved on from his too early, he was good on and off the field. He was too good for the role we had open for him, but I really think we should have made the effort to take better care of him here. We had the ratio, and I'm sure, at the end of the day, the $SMS would have worked itself out.
We lost oline, Harris, DT's in the past, but this was different. He wanted to stay, would have done anything he was asked to do. Paying him above ELC to be 5th REC is not a sound $SMS move, that's what rookies are for. But for what he brought, the extra was worth it.
Unless there was some underlying issue, an injury, a passport thing, something we were never made privy to, he should have been here.
No doubt, he will succeed in what he chooses to do next.
Maybe he can take a sideline gig, and give Luke a run for his money.

Last post by theaardvark - February 06, 2026, 04:09:01 PMI don't care if they put him in at MLB.
Just get him on the field.
He is legit Jefferson quality, and will give Willie some relief. If he lines up at DT beside Willie, woe be that oline... and by extension, QB.
To heck with the blindside, I want them in the QB's face.

Last post by theaardvark - February 06, 2026, 04:05:42 PMBy mid Dec, there should be 100% accurate accounting of how much cap we have left in that fiscal year. Any players that we are going to re-sign, and who want to stay, and that you can get to sign then, should be offered 2025 dated bonuses that use up that allotment, plus $99k.
There is literally no downside to leaving that $SMS on the table. Especailly when the books are as black as ours are.
Of course, no bonuses are offered to oft injured players, as we WANT to garner 6 game IR recoup should they end up there. But guys who have play a number of years for us, and the vast majority of the games in that time, bonus the heck out of them.

He takes a beating. Hard to understand how he keeps going.
I hope the game is good. Darnold wasn't really that good all season, led the league in qb turnovers.
There are a few former Bombers doing well as nfl coaches.... Tee Martin was Lamar Jackson qb coach.
