That just made my day! A nice late Christmas present from Walters!

And his mom probably bakes pie. Pie.

yup...he makes impact plays...and is an actual difference maker teams account for...he deserves a bump for sure and to be paid as a top CDN DB

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for convos about what the team wants the OL to look like this season. Still no word on Stan and Paddy is curious just because they're usually among the first to sign back on. I'm not sure a wholesale change on the line is a good thing, so ideally you'd like to see SOME continuity but we're off to a good start....

I will chime in that we went to the Winter Wonderland lights at the Downs this year for the first time and it was fantastic. I would recommend for anyone who has not gone yet, it is worth checking it out next year when it comes back. I think the drive was around 20 minutes in length , 30 dollars per car (a bit steep), but my youngest had the biggest grin on her face which made it well worth going.

Moving on from Kola is another good move by Walters.

Dequoy should absolutely see a nice pay day compared to his counterparts. That's a guy I'd love to see in Blue and Gold.

Peterson looked good in the Oly pre trials event and has been solid in Tier 2 events on your. Lots of upside with that team. Einar will be Team Canada at the Scotties because Homan is in Italy and declined the spot, so we'll have at least 2 teams at Scotties and possibly 3 as Einar's former Wild Cars spot is open, which might end up going to Lawes, who might (??) be the next highest ranked team. Looking forward to the Scotties next month... And the Select will be at the start of Feb, as well, so not far off.

Plus BO saves puppies. Puppies. Okay i’ll let the adults get back to talking even though we all should know BO is, to date, THE best all around best RB in the league hands down.

It doesn't fit the narrative that Mills is the best back in the league. I won't bring up the fact that BO had a better YPC average either, cause he won't care about that stat.

still....people here say playoffs is a success...so if a success....does that not mean a "crap" team as per OP? Just going off narrative here that peole claimed we were sucessfull last several yrs due to the playoff thing...when people were discussing ridding ourselves of Osh dont think he will be heathy and ready to start the yr....Hopefully we learned from the Schoen fiasco of rushing a guy back...especially an interior lineman who will be in constant threat of getting his knee crashed down on in the melee that is line play yeah....if/when healthy he will be a key piece for rotation and jumbo packages both sides of the ball.....shedding Kolo and Thomas also frees up close to 300k used elsewhere...I know Kolo made 150k lastt yr...I sure thomas wasnt below 120k

Schmek, improved before his injury, as a back-up rotational piece with Lawson, combined with his play on Jumbo packages, he is a perfect fit IMO. I could be wrong but I don't think he will be ready for the start of the season anyway...... Kola moving on and Thomos transitioning into coaching, in conjunction with signing, mostly Canadian starters thus far has been IMO a great offseason start...

Arniel getting fired today? Something has to give.

How is that a running back issue? It's a pass pro / receiver capability issue.

6 out of 9 teams make the playoffs....so not a stretch

wooooooow! kola cut at last, happy days! I’m pretty stunned. Hopefully schmekel doesn’t take jake level snaps or top 4. With out a significant step forward. We’ve thrown too much money at a couple guys, but we’ve kept the main ones we need and gotten rid of the worst of the roster. That’s a big step up. If we can get 1-2 key free agent pick ups, we will be well situated for next year. Especially need another strong draft as well.

Kolankowski released, Schmeckel re-signed

I'm talking take aways...INT's...FF's...Tackles for losses..Tackles for zero to minimal gain...he's bottom of the bucket for all that...and yes a lot of tackles are not necessarily a key 'main" indicator...but the definitely are within context tho...and contextually he is not good....I would like to see his missed tackle stats as well....and most people here also bemoaned Houston's play as it was all or noting at times...and the nothing always happened at the worst times And I dont recall all these bug hits and his impact out there being key....seen lotsa whiffs and blown coverages tho......15 of top 20 tacklers were on winning teams...and teams in playoffs....and around here playoff appearances are considered big success...so kinda blows that narrative out of water that league tackling leaders are on crap teams....no?

Offseason or not that gif is always relevant around here.

when he not true starter calibre...and we can get wayyyyy better production with an import at that spot...for half the cap hit...then yeah...it's kinda bad

I'll assume that Montreal or somebody else gives Dequoy around $200,000. So is Kramdi at $180,000 and the 4th highest paid Canadian DB as bad?

Not for me, I don't really pay attention to the Jets until playoff time. The NHL regular season is too long to really get invested in.
