Blue Bombers 2022 Season Thread - Stunning Loss. Dynasty Interrupted. 2023 awaits.

[Guardian17]

I like the new stripes on the helmets.

 

[WaveRaven]

The blue pants are beyond horrible.

 

[blues10]

Is this our alternate uniform scheme or are we wearing this set up week in and week out? Also not at all a fan of the pants.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

It just comes across as some cheap, knock off track suit you would pick up from the clearance rack at Giant Tiger. Mark my words, this cringe worthy ensemble will be the death of the 3-peat.

 

[kylbaz]

I think they'll Look great in person. Something a little different. People don't like different

 

[blues10]

I see the USFL is up and running again on FOX. There is also an arena football league on DAZN.

I am glad the CFL didn't get involved with the XFL.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Global draft starting. Bombers pick 6.

Currently Bombers have LB Les Maruo (4th overall 2021) and OL Tomoya Machino (15th overall 2021).

Theyve added P Tom Hackett who played at Utah and a bit in NFL. From Australia. To compete with Liegghio.

To me this indicates they think CBA might change and Hansen might return. Cause not a need.

Ticats think Globals are a joke. Taking a punter at #2 and at #10.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Bombers also add DB Souleymane Karamoko at 13. He played college at Laval. From France. Was in NFL international pathway program, but did not get allocated to a team.

Former Bombers practice roster global DB Ayo Oyelola was also in that program and got allocated to Jacksonville this morning.

Pretty tough to get involved with something that no longer exists!

Global Draft Bombers
6. P Tom Hackett - Utah (Australia)
Was in camp with New York Jets in 2016. 29 years old, camp competition for Liegghio.
13. DB Souleymane Karamoko - Laval (France)
In the NFL International Pathway Program. Probably not going to get allocated. 25 yo and definitely a ST type that could be good.
24. P Michael Sleep-Dalton - Iowa (Australia)
30 year old camp body it appears. Two punters seems to me maybe something is up in Bomber land. Liegghio trying to concentrate on kicking?

 

[SUX2BU]

Are light sabres included ??

 

[None]

Usually isn't super contentious and is just bargaining but apparently the players have voted to strike in the event that there isn't a CBA signed before May 14th when the current CBA expires.

The Bombers also traded their 1st+2nd (9th+18th) round picks for non-import/national DT Cameron Lawson Montreal's 2nd (13th).

Interesting i missed that trade. They desperately needed sone depth behind Jake Thomas. Lawson is young at only 23, 14th overall in 2020. Basically 9+18 for 13+14. Musta liked him better than what they thought they could get at DL early on draft. Almost guaranteed Bombers go OL at 13 now.

From what I've seen over the last decade or so of the CFL draft it's seemed like we either get a defensive line 1st/2nd round or an offensive line 1st/2nd depending on the year. I guess this is a weak DL draft

Edit: I forgot we also lost Kongbo to the NFL (potentially) so we need someone who can step in for the odd play when Jefferson and Jeffcoat need a break.

 

[bustamente]

Looks like after the trade today that we will in all probability take an OL, hopefully either Zack Fry, Noah Zerr or Peter Kozushka are available.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Wow kinda love that pick. One of the best athletes in the draft. Corner potential. BPA. Wonder if the Dobson news changed the math for Winnipeg.

 

[None]

Whoops, I forgot about the draft

 

[Boreal]

Tyrell Ford is nice. He'll be able to contribute on Teams for sure. Adjustment to playing defensive snaps could be trickier as even field side corners are going to be tested a lot more with a large route page and nearer proximity to the QB with the tighter hashes this year. All the same, I like the pick.

Huge bonus if Liam Dobson finds his way north shortly.

 

[bustamente]

Never expected the Bombers to choose a DB thought we are all good in the DB National department. Guess you can never have enough STers

 

[The Blue Baron]

They wear them for only two games. Both home games, once for Banjo Bowl and one other time. That is it thank god!

 

[bustamente]

Bombers take a homegrown DL in the 4th round, Cole Adamson another product of the Bison via Oak Park

 

[bustamente]

Another DB in the 5th round Chris Ciguineau out of Ottawa, big kid

 

[bustamente]

DL pick in the 6th Jeremy Kapelanski out of Guelph no OL picks for the Bombers so far, my prediction sucked

 

[bustamente]

Yet another DB in the 7th Cedrick Lavigne from Carelton

Seripusly starter potential here though. Has NFL prospect measurables, why hes going to 2 NFL rookie camps. Sounds like his tape doesnt quite match the measurables, but starter upside no doubt, maybe even at corner.
