Tremendous comp. Solid, but not special. If he cake cheap enough, I'm fine bringing him to camp, but I'm not going out of my way to pay for a guy like Sayles that we SHOULD be able to find a copy of via recruiting. IMO, he is definitely NOT in the same conversation as a guy like Jake Ceresna, who you absolutely would break the bank for.

Yup I talk way too much about dline upgrades desperately needed but a stud LB would be soooo nice.

Love it. Relentless lunch pail dude who does the dirty work on teams and does it well. Noticed him making a lot of solid teams tackles last year, but people tell me his teams game is much deeper than just chasing kicks...

I'm not saying it's our BB's but Athletes who want to win now who find themselves in a management environment not be at that mindset quite yet is always fun to watch.

“I’ve been speaking to (Kramdi and Nichols) both a little bit. Having them back as key parts of the defence is really important. Redha’s our quarterback back there. Same with Deatrick. They’re both really good guys to work with. And they also have kind of the same mindset. We want to win. We want to win now. And we want to be good every day. They have high standards that I like and resonate with. And they help me be a better player. And they’re good dudes, too. They’re pretty funny.” Evan holm just thought was an interesting quote. Definitely regarding Kramdi.

He played 2 years with us and 3 with Hamilton so he falls just outside that 4 year period (we signed him in April 2021).

What if his name was Jake Thomas.

Not necessarily. After he signed his new deal, BLM said it may be a 2 year deal but he's still evaluating things yearly & could very well call it quits after this season. He just has a bit of security knowing he has a contract for 2027 should he decide to continue.

I don’t mind him. He sounds smart and like he knows what he’s talking about. I’d take blm Zach and let’s say Lapo and Sanchez or muamba for the defensive perspective on the panel.

Well. Then don’t complain when we don’t sign free agents really. You can’t bring everyone back and honestly Sergio wasn’t even that great. He’s certainly no medlock. And sayles is gonna cost whatever Hamilton paid him and they think he wasn’t worth it.

For me it's not about $$ it's about finding that absolute force in the middle. Sayles reminds me of Vega. He's above average but not someone who is going to be dominate game in and game out. I wouldn't be disappointed if the Bombers signed Sayles, but I wouldn't want to place all my hope in him turning around the DL....if that makes sense.

Wasn't Sayles a Bomber find in the last 4 years? Woods/Fox/Adams have all been solid but suffered from lack of playing imo.

But he’s a center and an elite one at that. McKenna is a winger. But he can probably drive line 2 immediately but so could stenberg and he’s a center. You can’t go wrong top 5 with verhoff and Lawrence also. And the other D. Reid. Stenberg would be my pick. Plus we seem to like Swedes here. He’d fit in. He’s also ppg player in the shl at 18. Dude is generational. He’s a generational Swede.

I find Mitchell's Texas accent makes him mumble a lot & hard to understand. He can sound incoherent at times.

That first sentence of yours is a narrative that has to be changed for our league.

I sure did enjoy his playmaking abilities at the WJ’s. Regardless the Jets need some infusion of young elite talent to help support their core.

At his age that leg injury was devastating & a career ender. Let's see what he brings to the table as a coach.

Sorta like replacing Sergio Castillo with some random kickers from Hungary, Spain, South Africa, Russia or Venezuela cuz their cheaper, right Goalie?

Well they can always tank next year as well (and may with Chevy as GM).

nice, beast on teams. with the nfl poachings he’s easily one of the best dl that’ll be available. One of him and ceresna would be fantastic. Between the two I’d easily take Sayles though. Hes comparable as a pass rusher, but worlds better as a run stopper, easily the best 3t against the run in the league. And hes versatile enough to play 4i extremely well.

Keaton Verhoeff

Yea...stenburg? Sp..looked really good at the world junior...looked better than Mckenna....but not a generational player ethier. 😔

Mission Impossible Yeah, I'd go as far as saying, there were many games where JJ was a our best defender, and it wasn't even close

Not sure if it's been posted but the Argos brought in Ka'Deem Carey as RB coach...
