Hopefully we can do 2 on defence....2 quality who can play...those 5 there as is would allow us to do it and be better than we have been last several yrs Not sure what Canadian DT/DE may be available in FA coming off entry level deals yet, but good chance any we may have a chance at would upgrade JT's spot and further strengthen our defensive rotational depth I cant see Schmeck being ready before labour day...and then even if is, may take a while to regain his form...still would like to see us convert him to oline and use on defence in short yardage situations tho Lost in the Canadian depth is Kelly too....had some blips of mental miscues this past yr, but thats not indicative of what he posses's as pre-injury he was lights out and could become a very good safety and already is a ST ace...and young...allowing us nice options with Woodbey...Alllen...hopefully the resigning of Griffin for the extra DB/Hybrid guy role we like to use

Lawson as a primary rep eater, Bailey, Schmek or another Global/CDN to take some rotation, and have Shay/Smith and Kramdi rotate through the LB core IMO gives us good CDN depth and flexibility on defence. We have Brady and depth so that's 3 of our 7 spots. Presumably we resign Demski, and pick up a FA CDN receiver, I have a feeling KSB is the one who becomes available that fits our needs. With that and Clercios and Corccaron as rotational prices we are looking at 5 of our 7 CDN spots set...We could go as low as two along the On-line, I am fairly confident one will be Wallace, leaving really only a need for one more Neufeld likely.... I actually feel we are really one or two CDN pieces away from having very good CDN starters and depth providing Demski signs .. Caveat being Wallace takes another step and Shay/Smith show that they can start/heavily rotate in and we sign another solid CDN receiver. Time will tell...but honestly I like the offseason signings so far less not confirming Hogan will not be retained.....

Should roll with 2 Cdns on D with a rotation of Lawson, Shay, Smith, Kramdi, with Bailey as a global too.

especially a Canadian University trained QB....never gonna happen

Thing is...we dont really need a Canadian starter at SAM especially when we can getter production with an American...and for cheaper....I agree with your point tho about locking up top Canadians...and ones where they give you more value...at SAM...thats not one Lawson can technically fill the lone Canadian spot we could need on defense if we go RB...2 RECIEVER...3 Oline guys again, tho with Shay and Smith let them take the Will and go a DT with Bailey as a rotate or a new draft pick/Canadian FA and designate 2 on defence...actually use the Nationalized American for his allotted snaps and run 3 Import olineman or 4 import receivers

Available high end American Olinemen who can consistently dominate in the CFL and might not be a dime a dozen.

Okay this needs big viewership numbers airing and streaming

Filmed in Manitoba, hits theaters in April

I don't get the format. Six franchises with corresponding mythical curling clubs with no information on where these teams are located. Like, Saskatoon & Winnipeg? Edmonton & Calgary?? Minneapolis & Fargo? New York?? Vegas?? Japan? Norway,?? Zurich, Switzerland?? Are they going to play in tournaments in one place?? Like the XFL & USFL? I just can't see this lasting.

Well, "20-30 times" means up to 30 times a game. No running back today in football carries the ball up to 30 times at the pro level. Maybe the odd game due to circumstances but an OC in the CFL shouldn't be planning that on a regular basis.

Phillip Rivers is probably in the discussion for top 15 QB all time in the NFL and he's familiar with the Colts system, so it somewhat made sense to sign him. The NFL will cycle through the same 4th stringers who have a tiny bit of game experience over giving any new guy a decent shot. With every year a new batch of QB's coming in , it will be near impossible for Elgersma to get any sort of chance to stick with a club. The NFL is a weird league in that way.

Last season he had 11 games with 19+ touches , 5 games with less (including the two games where he was injured) one with 18 and another with 15. 30 might be a bit high, but the 20 number is the average number assuming he doesn't leave the game injured. Tyson Philpot had 61 receptions and 2 carries ... Brady had 61 receptions and 201 carries. Add in the intangibles of having to block and Brady is significantly more impactful then Philpot. It's easy to put an import in at RB when your team is loaded with talented Canadian players elsewhere. This team is razor thin on Canadian talent (outside of Brady/Demski). Dumping the best player in his prime who is Canadian simply to "hope" that you can land a talented Canadian oline/dline guy in free agency would be a terrible idea. Pay Brady, dump a guy like Neufeld who is over the hill and save money by replacing him with an American at a cheaper price. American Olinemen are a dime a dozen.

If you’re talking Argos I would change fans to fan. On a unrelated note hey @bluto

I think what makes me skittish is the phrase MOS has used for JT (don’t know about other players) when it comes to him hanging em up ie he goes out on his terms. So what does that mean if JT wants to play another year? Considering the play of our dline last year and the need for considerable upgrades, i’m very hyper sensitive to how this all plays out. And for the love of gawd, minimize using a three man front.

we've had guys on this very forum joking about doing a Tonya Harding to certain bomber players. I'm like 99.9% confident those are just dumb jokes but it's a world of crazy motherfuckers making lunatic headlines out there and so I'm always a little 👀 when I read that stuff.

I’m curious if he’s the only one. Cuz Stan Neufeld kolo are others who I could see hanging em up also.

Elgersma hasn’t played in a meaningful game in 2 years almost now tho. The clock ticking there but I mean the colts just signed 44 yr old Philip rivers last week so maybe now’s the time to get a shot. Just seems teams aren’t willing to give the unknown a chance in the nfl.

Being a bit skittish this grapevine of yours is sus to me until it’s formally announced. He saves puppies?

Maybe they plan on going rookie at several spots saving money that way. They prob set aside cash for their own free agents and cash for others who might make it to free agency. I’d expect we do make some FA signings, probably Canadians and we rely on scouting to fill holes. Holm and Nichols are interesting cuz the one thing this regime has found are DBs. Is holm worth the 140? When dude brought in late last year is on a rookie deal. I’m not sure. Pay your Canadian starters. Find American ones.

Even Toronto has insane fans. They might not have lots but the majority they have are likely quite hardcore fans who partake in the alcohol and with social media now , it’s easy for idiots to make death threats.

Bloodsport wasnt real?!?!??!?!?!....damn I feel so cheated now

RB....DE....db....LB....easiest positions to fill in the CFL and continually reload at....and shouldnt eat up big gobs of cap space.....we spend excessively in all 4 spots...and for most part for aged out guys...or Canadians cause they require a premium....theron lies a lot of our crunch for cash issues loading up on difference maker players, where...well they would make a huge difference It also effects the quality of your depth....just because you have guys behind others...doesnt mean it's "depth"....cause look how reluctant Osh has been to ise his depth...he would rather play injured and subpar guys who are his fav's
