Our defensive strategy works, that is all that matters.

This tired old argument that is demonstrated as false so many times.... we need only look at the very same MLB position to see how it's not a fair comp. Jones arguably "won" the job over bighill uet bighill kept getting trotted out until he was too hurt to play and lo and behold the position play improved.

I don’t love our defensive strategy but that is impressive. I think it’s four years running now for least points allowed.

Didn’t feel like it but i’m always unhappy so there’s that.

Just a gentle reminder that our defense was best in points allowed last year. (as a team, we were third in points allowed, but the O and the ST give up points too)

I think there’s a real chance Nield is our top Canadian receiver this year especially if Demski banged up but who knows, could just be he’s Demski and certain guys don’t need the camp reps exactly.

Do you say that because of your assessment of Neild or because your love for Demski? Neild seems like he's increased his production each year he's been a pro and had over 500 yards last year in only 13 games as part of a crowded receiving core. Almost a 13 yard average, a long of 69. I think his production will be capped with us due to the fact that he's the #4 target, but if he is pushed into a larger role, I think he has the capacity for it. There's also the fact that this is the 2026 version of Demski who has clearly been struggling to stay healthy over the past couple of years and is now starting the year knicked. There's a chance Neild is going to be very critical for us.

Yeah. That makes total sense says nobody with logic. Honestly Eli has been here for like what 6 years now? And is now hurt. Jones has been here for 2. The D decisions are primarily made by Younger. Time for ppl to accept that. I’m not the biggest tony jones fan personally. All his tackles are after yards gained but nobody exactly stepped up and took his job. You can sit here and go to 1 practice a month and pretend to know or hey dude online who was wrong about a few other guys said this random dude with the 30 seconds highlight reel from ncaa 3 years ago is a stud but when the live bullets are flying, who the heck stepped up and took Tony or Kyries job? Nobody. Reality, the guys they kept minus the kickers who no team releases reliable vets for rookies, the guys they kept did step up. The guys they let go did not. Just cuz dude makes 1 play in a game doesn’t mean much, for all we know he’s totally lost all week in practice. So tell me who should have taken Tony jones job? Which rookie middle linebacker stepped up? In my opinion none did. There were no Adam Bighills or Barron Simpsons in this recruiting class. O’Shea? Younger? Scouting?. When nobody steps up its scouting. Look at the receivers, Frederickson stepped up, singer did. But the fact a dude like frederickson who looks like a less athletic Jamie stoddard is one of the training camp stars, scouting is a problem. You living in fantasy land where you think teams will replace half their rosters at camp. Nobody does that. Bombers weren’t a 1 or 2 win team last year like you seem to pretend they were. It’s Clinton right cuz he made 1 play. Thats who right? So you cutting Woodbey I guess cuz seems like the same type of player. Def not a middle linebacker. Think the middle backer was Cretsinger, he wasn’t bad but he didn’t exactly take a Job either but to replace your reliable vet, that rookie needs to kick the doors in and take it. Nobody did man. Really the bottom line.

I think it’s the right four teams, but I’d switch SK and Mtl. Riders had some significant losses this offseason.

Makes me want to watch Euphoria

I like getting the national (Toronto) view, as it's an echo chamber in here. Top 4 look right to me though.

I don't think Nield is any way shape or form comparable to Demski... But I am concerned about Demski being rushed back. Hoping that's not the case but I guess we'll see. Supposed to be tremendous weather in Calgary on Friday, so no excuses there.

Oh my god, you guys still have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about, lol. Every single player you guys get all goggle eyed over turns out to be a total dud(Devin Adams, Brian Cole, etc etc). Womp womp. But please, keep acting like your poopoo don't stink and that you're way cooler than Mike O'Shea. Excited for the season, I think this our best team since 21

Lawler - This week, not every week.

That's the issue. I think Neild would be a perfect injury replacement for Demski that removed the risk of him playing on one leg or leaving hanging when he misses play-off games. That said, it doesn't work if we play the injured guy over his replacement.

We did have 3-4 candidates in camp, and we even signed Santos Knox to compete. Not sure where this fictional narrative of no competition comes from? Because TJ keeps winning the job? I get that Jones isn't at all adequate in pass coverage but he is great in the tackle box. JY runs his defensive scheme so that the MIKE really isn't in coverage except once in a blue moon therefore that criticism is kind or a red herring in our particular defensive style. I'm certainly not going to anoint TJ as a world beater on D, but he is not at all the poster boy for MOS loyalty. Look to the guy on his right on the depth chart and then Bearpants may have been onto something.

i’m not surprised, cfl media has been chomping at the bit to write our obit and bury us. Especially to once again crown the riders as the league cornerstone. blech. I hope we get to disappoint them. it’s not a huge issue. we aren’t talking jake thomas or kola level issue. I do think it’ll be a part of the usual roster management issues. injuries look a bit better than i expected. Will see how close to 100% these guys are

Randolph signs in Toronto. Toronto Argonauts sign Kendall Randolph after release from Winnipeg - 3DownNation

How so. You want a D that hall ran more than younger does. Younger ain’t running the traditional cfl D that you all want to run. He’s running some confusing hybrid D. He obviously values the versatility over dudes who just do 1 thing. If Osh is Oshin always then younger is youngerin. How am I the ****** when you can’t even accept that Garbutt fox and Bailey all sucked.

Well, I fully expect Woodbey to be on the field the vast majority of the time, so I don't think it's a huge issue to have a mix of skills on the field.

Ummmm yea.
