An extremely valid point. We can't let high calibre NATs walk out the door without spending those savings on other high quality NATs. Walters did an abysmal job of this over the past 3 years and needs to wake up in that regard.

We should have our OC in place before Ott or Tor announces theirs. If we fail that, we are in big trouble. Early January should be the goal. Talk to guys, conduct interviews, take the holidays to think about it, and make the offer right after. Then announce it by the week of the 9th.

Depends what we do with the rest of our roster and who our Canadians are. We need to play them somewhere. If we want better Canadians on the ol or at rec we’ll have to pay through the nose for them. We’re in some trouble right now with our Canadians. Only two of them were good last year and they’re both fas looking for raises. We really need to hope our young lbers can step up and we hit a home run in the draft.

If you give a CFL calibre 20+ touches a game they are going to rack up big yardage. I love Brady ball, but I don't think Brady is our only option to do it with. This last contract my heart was happy but my head said it's a terrible contract. This time both my heart and my head say it's a bad idea. Sorry Brady, but your attitude over the last year was not to my liking.

I agree. Highly doubtful, January is prime time for most coaching hires outside of HC. I will be semi concerned if we don't have anyone in place by Jan. 9.

I mean, every back we've plugged in has had success. That is the tendency with zone systems as well. If you can identify/coach backs into pressuring the gap while also doing a good job of reading the blocking, you will succeed. Remember the broncos sticking random FA FBs in at tail back and having them average 5+ yards a pop and enough yards a game to get 1200-1500 a year? The point of tangibles is worth looking at. Brady is a fantastic blocker. But he also crafted him self into that role. Harris was too, but Augustine did a massive amount of work to go from terrible to pretty good at pass blocking, and MCI has taken huge leaps and bounds blocking too. Now, it is a far cry from being the lone back pass blocker in games during the regular season. But you only gain that final step by doing it. I am pretty confident that with marty, brady and the rest of the guys in the RB room that will hold over that we can coach guys up to be atleast good enough in pass blocking.

Imo, 20% chance we announce the OC before january.

I'm really curious to know if anyone here actually thinks getting angry/frustrated on a forum would prompt action from the BB brass lol. If there is a lurker out there who thinks this, I have something for sale on marketplace for $10,000 you might be interested in, collectors item, mint shape.

And a live shot of MOS right after the signing:

How much is 'establish the run to open the playbook up' worth to the Bombers? Some assume whoever we replace BO will be an easy plug and play but I'm not too sure with what BO offers outside of pure yardage and saving puppies. Tough decisions to be made. KW have fun.

If we don't have an OC by Christmas, I will be concerned.

I really like Brady but him at $250,000 to $275,000 versus paying Mills, Butler or Bell $150,000 to $160,000, I think I'd go for the later option.

A 250k+ contract to a running back, ANY running back, is going to hinder any team unless they put up MOP calibre numbers and clutch performance. We got hosed on his contract last year.

What mistakes are being repeated? We are fans, getting angry on a forum isn't going to do anything. If we don't have an OC in place by your timeline then for sure we can be worried. I agree. However, we cannot know what will happen until it happens.

Please for the love of gawd so i can shut up already and get on with complaining about something else.

I shall have to check it out. Merci.

A consultant? Fans in Calgary thought Huff was already that with the Stamps doing it from his home in Flrida semi retired. Dave Dickenson is now Da Man in Calgary. Good luck.

Any predictions on who are first signing will be?

I do love him in that role. I wish they’d make him a permanent fixture in the booth/panel for each game.

I very well might be. Except I don't have a son like George. My son is 39, lifts weights & weighs 225 lbs. In a feat of strength, I'd be destroyed.

You’re right, dl in general but disruptive inside especially.

Not bad for a guy who averages 9-11 games a season. The Riders are going to be hard pressed to bring the core of that team back. When you're a champion you pay the price of not being able to keep every free agent. They have something like 45 free agents so good luck with that. Some very good talent will be available from the Riders in February.

That won't happen if Younger stays at DC. This is his defense with the personnel he wanted doing what he wants them to do. It's strange the way he used WJ. Our DL could be so much better. It's his decision not to do it the way it normally would be done. I don't pretend to try to explain how Younger uses his personnel & why. All I know is we don't presure qbs anymore. Out interior DL is a joke which affects our Ends. We don't get the pressure we used to when Richie Hall was DC. With Hall, it all started with a vicious Front 4. With Younger, he seems to build from the back end out. The best athletes play in the secondary & it flows up to LBers & finally to the DL which is a no pressure Front 4. I don't like it & I'm not convinced Younger is really all that good as a Coordinator. Yup, let's just repeat the same mistakes again.... If we don't have an OC in place in 5 or 6 weeks then we can declare that the talk of change & introspection was just that... talk... while nothing has changed.
