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.

Whatever the role was...it was odd..and noticeable and don't think degraded talent related...as mentioned have discussed this and former DE said it was very odd I think if we bring him back..and im 99.9% certain we are we need to have him play as a straight up pressure/attack de...or rush end hybrid at various spots on line...20..25 high energy snaps and allow the young ends to grow...his experience and knowledge of the oline guys we will face also be invaluable to the youngsters We need a difference maker tho inside..if Hutchings hits the market back the truck up..that guys a beast and versatile...his presence would allow woods or Adams to eat too..but hopefully we scour the interior line with guys brought in like we have with dbs before..fix the line..the rest will fall into place..we already have some legit pieces coming back..and any new blood..fa or scouted that's as good or better is just bonus

Yup...agree...id add interior dline to that too... I agree also that BO is beneficiary of system to a good extent...especially with lotsa touches...he isnt a guy who is a home run hitter from anywhere on field and could score from anywhere..anytime...but is one of best in a while to slug it out tenderize defences all game...love the guy but if he is looking for more than what he got last deal...I just think it may hinder us

Crumbl Cookies (and yes that's how it's spelled)

????????????????????????????????????????????????

YES!!!!!! as expected one of them is going on Kenaston, but at least the other location will be close to home I wonder what's moving out of Crossroads https://accesswinnipeg.com/2025/12/crumbl-cookies-rumoured-to-open-two-winnipeg-locations-heres-what-we-know/?fbclid=IwY2xjawOcZZFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEe8e-qgeZqT7QRj5OOxTVmq_krDSWfyFERkHwd9iJLorCebnJ5ICexra6G6P8_aem_Lxasjz5qAl1HvoYRlj0rnQ *one google later* Burrito Splendido

https://3downnation.com/2025/12/02/head-coach-mike-miller-to-also-be-offensive-coordinator-rest-of-toronto-coaching-rest-unclear/ Looks like he will also be the Argos OC and play caller. Lots to take on as a new head coach that wasn't even the OC last year.

I like Lapo as a broadcaster, I still think with experience and coaching he can really help build our game from that space. I don't think the space of a positional support coach is big enough to hold his ego and need for control. 🙂

From the Calgary Herald: 'That means that usual workhorse Dustin Wolf, barring a relief appearance against the Predators, will be idle for upwards of a week. Wolf was hooked last Wednesday in Tampa after surrendering three goals on only four shots, and Cooley has been tapped for three straight starts since then'. Imagine if one of his teammates said to the media after the Tampa Game, "I mean I can't stop pucks from going into the net, I do my job, I generate opportunities to score and defend my zone'.

wow, i thought he shifted away from formally working, guess not, probably missed it. Too bad for him the Argos suck.

Now that's interesting....

Naylor reporting Hufnagel heading to Argos as well. Front office role

......So one week today the 26' schedule is released.....I sure hope we get a better shake than last years version .....The spacing of bye weeks was crappy to say the least....there has to be some improvement in that area....

what the hell was he doing?

If you're gonna gamble on positions to overpay in the CFL, its QB, OL, and WR. I mean that was really hamiltons off season last year and while they didnt win it all it worked out very well for them.

It really is a strange usage. But usually when you have an outlier on the edge like WJ, it's generally some young guy trying to cut his teeth. No matter the level or league. So that guy would be in their prime athletically, and you'd use them in a lot of ways. For a guy like WJ to play this late into his athletic prime is extremely rare. I think his step has diminished, but he can still turn in on. I really think the majority of his dip has come because he has been getting physically battered for a long time. After all, teams can double him and have figured out that if you out-physical him, he will coast. Some guys don't relish the physical punishing side of the game. Even at DL. Even at his best, WJ has been a terrible tackler in the back field. From an offensive standpoint, I'd be happy to see any DE roaming on the edge looking for PKDs. I love DL getting organic PKDs, but their value isn't remotely comparable to a sack imo. Tips still gets caught sometimes, but he is very seldom batting balls up to get picked. A PKD on 2nd down means you're punting unless it's a very short distance to the first. But even sacks on first down that get converted bring tremendous value. When you stack up physical hits on a QB, you drastically change the game. Ages ago, Football Outsiders I believe it was, had an article on QBR after hits/sacks and hurries. As you would expect, QBs that took 5-10 QB hits/sacks/hurries in a game saw drastic dips in production. Hurries don't have as much impact, especially without the hits, but you change the game when you disrupt the QB. PKDs slow the drive but don't have that compounding.

Emilus will be 250k+ BO is the beneficiary of an offensive system that is far too run heavy. There I said it. 250k+ for BO. Price over replacement is the formula I like to use and BOs salary makes no sense at that equation whereas Philpott's is closer to an accurate amount but still a slight overpay.
