Titus Wall signed in Montreal.

Not sure? The Argos added him to their suspended list when he left and then released him in 2022. He hasn't signed with anyone else (at least in the CFL) since.

There’s no chance that ever happens.

Agree with this. It should have been Brady and a rookie American to spell him. If the American kid performs better, move forward in the off-season.

Riders are 1st at lucky comebacks 😁

If we ain’t last who the **** Is. Teams that have scored more than 1 touchdown?

We earned that ranking. I’d be slow to move us up if we do win one or two coming up unless it’s blow out wins.

who could intelligently argue against it?

No argument. By every measure we have been the worst team in the CFL so far.

What would we counter with? MOS saying Collaros is the best QB?

https://www.cfl.ca/2024/06/18/amsoil-power-rankings-a-changing-landscape/ Huh, CFL.ca has us at 9th in power rankings... The sad part: do we really have an argument to counter that?

Great break down by lapo, take a shot every time karamoko (42) is out of position on the under side of the box on his zone.

Didn't he attempt a come back at some point as well? Maybe 2022 or 23? Speller was a damn good player, I suspect some thing known behind the scenes caused his dumping to TO and perhaps his failure to play after that.

It’s really hard to say how much falls on Walter’s directly. I do feel that some moves like cutting Jackson when mos rostered him soo much is a Walter’s fights back move. But, we are quickly getting to the point where it will be on Walter’s for not doing his job being mos boss and preventing stupid moves. The value in Brady is entirely in the fact he’s a mop candidate Canadian skill position player. Plus the local boy and off the field hero. Could we find a great rb for cheap in the nfl cuts? Yes easily. One that would be a beast in pass pro, excellent pass catcher, great runner who can execute our system and grind out yardage? Yes but not as easy. And that player will be gone after a year for a major payday and or nfl shot. Plus you lose the passport. Brady was the toughest decision this off season. Right or wrong I don’t fault Walter’s. we had much easier decisions to make like with biggie and made the wrong ones.

The strevy package has been limited because we haven’t been able to keep the offence on the field. With bo out, we should be using it significantly more especially on first down. We’ve shown wrinkles like qb sweep, pa qb power, set up qb screen with both him and Zach on the field etc. with Zack’s struggles Strevy is significantly closer to starting here than he would’ve expected. I doubt he’s too upset other than hating losing and seeing the o struggle. you’re right that we’ve struggled more than ever in this era with qb protection and that buck has struggled to adjust with what’s going on. It’s a tough spot, what he has installed from tc we can’t run most of. He has always struggled to counter pressure. We have tools like the roll out and pa boot stuff. We’ve run that to get guys like schoen coming back to the ball in open space but its primary function is to counter pressure. We also haven’t made use of down field quick timing routes, slide pro etc. I am worried about buck. He’s young, but he’s looking like he’s either in a rut and doesn’t know how to break a plateau or he’s hit his ceiling. I think this yeah the goat is still getting his feet wet in coaching, and frankly he’s stuck with a bad punter and frequently this year is punting from deep in our end. Bad position to fake. But aside from the pathetic onside attempt in the gc, it’s been almost 2 seasons of no fakes on punting. Just the reverse and reverse fakes early last year in returns. roster management, old boys club, mos peculiar favouritism of rando sub par guys all that stuff is killing us and has robbed us of an all time dynasty.

Basically in a nutshell....ytou have more or less nailed it...we are being out coached for a lack of a better term in a bad way...In most aspects....and along with that goes poor roster management, and really bad PR use And well.....the results are glaringly obvious...Our upper echelon guys...who we rode to knubs...aren't upper echelon across the board anymore either....compoinding it...which circles right back to poor roster management, and then back to poor coaching trying to make square pegs fit into the former round holes....and it's not working.... after 2021....thefe already should have been some...so 2022 and especially 2023...there would have been the heir apparents already developed too many...and again that falls back on the coaching...or lack there of...time to start actually being a hard nosed coach....and right your ship....not happening tho...excuses...smug grins...non answers...they are all number ones....player X is the best...why be worried....well...we worried ya turd!! thing is...generally the HC will ask for...or say he wants.....thatbeing said..Walter's has tonow stop being the compliant buddy...and be the hard nosed Boss I'm sure many were just driving up the price with no real intent...knowing we wanted him..Brady wanted to be here...so push up the price knowing thje ripple effect...we should have just said...here's 190k.....balls in your court..we would have survived if he walked Paying Kramdi tho 70k over the miniumum...stupid when you can get the same or better from an entry level player....but bringing back Osh favs..Kramdi (dont gt me wrong solid backup/teams) Kolo..Thomas...BA...Biggie.....Not a hard and serious talk with ZC (who our coach thinks is best and cant fail) about taking a reduction, or else we cant provide him with the pieces to complete the roster is crippling us....Gauthier and JA can be lumped in there too..Rosery at minimum could give us more than enough backup ability...and possible upside....

Augustine was an easy cut to me, although to be fair he may have taken a minimum-ish or lower deal. Let‘s not forget, 100k isn’t really what it used to be in terms of contracts in the CFL. It’s only 35k more than minimum which isn’t a ton (but yes it’s still significant)

The thing is Augustine should have been gone immediately after. When Brady was on his old deal you can make some sense of it, but how can you justify paying over 100 k for a back up Canadian running back? Especially when we don’t need a Canadian there if Brady goes down. That one I can pin on Walters although I’m sure the coaching staff get a say and I feel like Augustine is one of O’Sheas guys.

No question he's better than Augustine. Not sure he's better than some late NFL cut who we could bring in. I like him, I just would have let some other GM overpay him.

And, yet, they can't stop him. Augustine was a waste, but I'm happy BO is back. Other GMs were prepared to pay him more.

Great point. Honestly that's what worries me most - we can't pin all of this on Osh. A lot of it for sure, in terms of player deployment, roster decisions. But, Walters is the boss. A lot of very questionable decisions. Paying two Cdn RB's so much money as many of pointed out. I know we're obliged to support BO because he's a Winnipeger, but good teams do not overpay RB's anymore. Especially one who is not really a game breaker. He's a reliable, 4-5 yard ball control RB. I don't think opposing DC's are in fear of BO lighting them up. NFL teams rarely overpay RB's. So many high profile ones are released. There's such an abundance of American RB's available I would never pay big bucks for one. I'd constantly be recruiting for new RB's, keep the prices reasonable. The other thing is as much as Osh's loyalty to certain players is an issue, the simple solution would be for Walters to have cut, traded, or not resigned some of these players. He's the boss, he could have told Osh that's the direction we're going. Like Thomas for sure, even Biggie I would have moved on from.

HAPPY KRISPY KREME OPENING DAY Arby's update: don't know if I said this already but Google has it listed as temporarily closed The signage at the newest BDI.l location is up it's sharing a space with George's Burgers and Subs on Jefferson And BP has finished the playoff promotion (hopefully we'll get the 60th b-day menu soon)
