Blue Bombers Transactions - July 22, 2026

There's room for my opinion here and not everything has to be an argument, right?  Breath. It will be okay that I don't think Kramdi is a very good safety. I understand you think he's super duper super good. I also awknowledged that him being hurt is the most likely scenario. It's just not the only one.

I agree. Kramdi isn't my first choice at safety. However, I do believe he is a valuable member of our D, and he's a very versatile Canadian player.

On that final play, Kramdi stuck his hand in to break up the play.  It is super easy in that situation to break a digit, or dislocated one, so many injuries are possible there, even hitting the player's shoulder pads or jamming it against the ball.

Nah there is no argument
Just more fake news, you try to make me look silly by continuing to post things that are not true.  Please quote me where I said he was a good safety.  We got all day lol.
Facts
I have stated Kramdi is a very good LB
I have stated pre season that there wasn't a hope in hell he would start at safety
I ate crow when he did
The D and him had a rough start but starting to slowly come together
After the 1st few games I posted that Kramdi wasn't a good fit at FS.  The idea is growing on me.  Never stated he was good at safety but nice try.  I would prefer if we had a vet stud safety and Kramdi went home to LB.  Cautiously optimistic due to the flexibility on D.

You stated / hinted three times you though they put him on the 6 game because he wasn't hurt, dems the facts jack.  Which is simply non factual.  There is no other explanation unless you use a box of Costco foil.  Which is ok, sometimes it's fun to present contrarian theories but when and if you do, you will be challenged.

Big fan of opinions based by factual evidence.

Kramdi is a good football player, key Canadian for this awesome club and league.  You anti Cdn content bias is showing but that's ok because I'll die before that changes.

Facts are presented above, agree all

Pretty sure that would be the death of Hall.   

#1 d Hall is boss Younger has the hunger 

He can zip a ball

Put him at qb

It's what he's being paid to be versatile that is more to the issue. We don't know what his hand injury is but you can play with a finger problem or dislocation. A broken wrist or severe sprain is more difficult.

I think the misnomer is calling Kramdi a Safety, he rarely plays deep or covers receivers, better to call him a rover.  It will be interesting to see how assignments are communicated in this game without him, with a fair bit of experience on the field they should be ok.  Jake Kelly has been with the team long enough now to show some leadership skills if he in fact is expected to be the future Safety.

[theaardvark]

Truth be told, I think I'd prefer Kramdi on the field in a cast than on the bench.  I think he brings more than just his play being on the field, and I imagine he inspires others with his attitude and drive.

If it is a broken bone in the hand or wrist, I wouldn't want to risk further damage, though.  But if it is a sprain, give him a club and let him loose.  It's not like he needs dexterity for they way he hits.

Some forget this, so well said

A leader, a communicator.  That said due to his value, best to rest imo.

He is a role model.  He deserves more respect than some give him.  He isn't a pro baller because he is cdn, he is a pro because he is good at ball.

I seen something special in him early.  His rise was quick.  He learned quick after getting roasted at times.  He came out of the oven just right lol.

He should retire a Bomber imo.

Short answer: "badly".  The whole game was one botched assignment after another.  Forget the bad tackling, just look at 20Y cushions on every mid/deep shot.  Even JY doesn't dial up cushions that big!  Those are busts.

Kelly was AWOL.  Experiment over.

Well, he is now!  This was a near-perfect apples-to-apples comparison, and the only DB/SAM change was Kramdi and things went all to poop.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Yes! Kramdi! In Ottawa we only gave up 34 points and 420 yards of offense. I want him back because without him we gave up 408 yards of offense and 45 points(on defense) to a significantly better team.

Looks like he's the difference maker boys. It's definitely not JYs terrible system or playcalling.

Well he isn't. Kelly is not the answer but I still don't think Kramdi is a safety. I also can't see Kramdi back for awhile with that big cast on his arm, so the bombers have to figure this out.

[Blueforlife]

We missed Kramdi big time and Kelly isn't ready.

Kramdi in a cast and a sling.  The wild and weird speculation regarding the circumstances around him going to the 6 game can be put to bed, but the majority of us knew he was hurt but now we know it's pretty serious

I didn't know he had a cast which is bad news. The sidelines weren't shown often on TV so I didn't pick up on that.

Mentioning a sling might mean more arm or shoulder than wrist but either way it's bad news.

You were right! Looks actually hurt.

Poncius is a LT by definition. Whether he can adjust quickly to RT if necessary IDK. Maybe someone that has been to practice can give an evaluation. He is the only other OT and import OL available on the roster.

Moving Wallace to OT is not a solution. So it's either Allen as a new addition to the roster or a rookie OL.

I couldn't believe it when they moved Gabe to RT, I saw them experiment with that in pre-season and just thought noooo that's not going to work.  Total mismanagement cutting Randolph who was healthy and a decent OT in lieu of Vanterpool who doesn't seem to fit into their future plans anywhere.  Even Eric Lofton the RT they had the year prior was good at protecting the QB which is their most important role. 

Just checked Lofton's status, he was cut by the Ti-Cats in TC so he is currently available and would obviously sign for a lot less than Dejon Allen.  They have to do something if Broxton is out for awhile, they had to change 3 positions out of 5 to compensate for his absence.
