Grant wasnt lost due to money.....we cheaped out and insulted Jeffcoat...and he had no desire to play anywhere else so retired We could have NOT re-upped KOLO and Thomas ...PaID Kramdi135k which is ridiculous for what he gives...That alone could have been savings for whatever vets we lost...who did we loose for 2024 that hurt us anyway.... We didnt need a Canadian SAM and could have filled it with Griffin ...Cole...any number of imports who would have been prob 50..55k cheaper... You do have to retain some yur own FA's sure....we kept the wrong ones but to really succeed you also can achieve that by a couple impact free agents too....there were a lot this winter out there...we choose to grab duds...guys off injury...guys who never were anything elsewhere and had minimal if any upside as they were "economical"

If Collaros' inability to adapt to changing game situations is holding the team back, inevitably the team will lose confidence in him as a leader and key player. That will absolutely impact their committment and effort, and you can see that in any organization. If the coaches are ignoring this, the team's confidence in them will wither, producing the same result. So all this falls into the laps of both Wlters aqnd Miller. Gonna be an interesting season.

thing is...as rosey as that all sounds...and seems...Player's releagted to no play time...or minimal don't see it that way...or care less about it Being a players coach also means playing the best player....be that coach for the better player....not just the dead weight...sports is a cruel business and there is no loyalty at a certain point...Osh needs to know that and grow a pair....Worry about how he is viewed as opposed to being succesful is a slippery slope I'd rather view him...or any coach as a great player's coach, but one that made the tough decisions and was a hard ass when needed, and won 5 straight...or 4 outta 5 rather than a stubborn loyalist who lacked the balls and foresight to make the right calls and flopped on his face repeatedly due to totally preventable reasons....the yeah but crowd will chime in 5 stariaght cups "appearances".....but fail to recognize the 3 utter flops...To the likes of Fajardo..Arbuckle and the Looney/pervo combo....good god thats a legacy to be super proud of thats the thing...we spend up to cp sure...where it's allocated tho....poorly... yup....and this yr re-signing him without even seeing a good 6 to 8 games?...plain stupid....it's not like he had to be or he would agree elsewhere mid yr....and did he get some of 2026 money moved to this yr....hindering any possible intra season signing that could help us?...possibly

Spends money sure....but majority of it seems to be spent in wrong area's...and or too influenced by a bias'd HC....And his tactic of allowing so much money for this group....and that group is dumb....basically excludes you from actually improving in an area or at times having adequate depth that can play...and seems to be influencing their scouting as to who they bring in he was savvy...but the problem now is he got some nice pieces, and Osh thinks they just the best of the best and see's no need to replace or demote them...hence our depth in some areas really blows A team should be continually doing things...be it moves...bringing guys in...whatever to get better...deeper and we dont...When Osh breaks camp who we (he) decided on is it....unless a guy actually dies or has an injury so bad he cant play....and we seen a lot play that should never have...thats the problem

I don't have confidence in him to have back to back big weeks, but I have less confidence in Ottawa's defense.... K-Law 89.....

he gets a lot of greif....but he's the head ref who for most part is relaying the call from his other ref's....not necessarily his lame calls...for most part he is pretty good on flags he throws....and he cant say "nah...we not gonna call that" on flags his minions toss...

Grants only game was the last one wasnt it? yup....and part of that is who the coach chooses to employ in middle of your line...Our coach chooses dome real bottom barrel guys....so the importance of Line and coaching goes hand in hand here....

Line of scrimmage has more impact than coaching imo.

Nope and Letting grant walk over 85 90k was ridiculous. I’ll agree with that. Lawler at close to 300k? I dunno. That seems a little much to me. Grant at 85 k tho, yeah dumb.

Yeah. I was gonna post I was wrong cuz I saw the Bo Byram arbitration filing. Yup. Good stuff then. Hopefully lock up samberg and Barron long term. Vilardi we will see. He’s injury prone.

Maybe, but I know for sure there was one on Leila. Later became an Olive Garden then was torn down afterwards.

I thought there was one on Henderson

Used to be a Red Lobster on Leila.

Would he?

Did I say Toronto was a good team or even great team?

I'll bet they won't bring their chips here (Freddy's has their own chips but it was one of the menu items that weren't brought over)

No, filing for arbitration makes them ineligible for an offer sheet: https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/07/players-still-eligible-for-offer-sheets.html

Ottawas D isn’t very good.

Toronto is 1 and 4 aren’t they.

The CFL comes down ultimately to 2 things, quarterbacking and coaching.

How quickly you forget, Walters spent every penny he had to retain Lawler, Schoen and Brady in 2024, that's the main reason they lost 6 contributing veterans, including Grant and Jeffcoat. Losing clubs sign FA's to get to the top, winning clubs re-sign their own players to remain on top.

<17k in Edmonton <13k in Toronto

This has gotta be my worst year to date in Pick ems....
