You’re right that he was dressed for week 1, but Looking at it he suffered the calf injury early in the first. He too a few snaps but idk how many. But he was out for the 3 sacks by the other 2 ends. And leaves the other games.

Yeah that was the only place showing much of his pro day numbers. The nfl break down contradicts the draft buzz directly lol

Jj is a great pass rusher who makes our defence and every one in the front better when he’s on the field. I love that guy, it sucks soo bad that it’s ending and he was never able to stay healthy and put up the monster stats to match his calibre of play. His impact doesn’t need to be conflated. Wj is a great pass rusher and has been even when jj isn’t dressed. Wj isn’t nearly as consistent pass rushing as jj, and most guys aren’t consistent in getting sacks. Some times you flush the qb some times you get the easy sack. Habba was very productive in place of jj, and has some great moves/first step. May or may not be legit, two of his sacks were easy finishes. 2 he ducked tackles and took advantage of his short height and leverage. But I’m excited to see where he goes. wj started the year very well last year. And jj missed a big portion of the first half year.

Looks like a guy who plays with speed not a track guy. Good size for a wil/s/sam in the cfl. His pff grades in pass cover were really good. Like the look of him for a prospect.

That’s wrong. Jj did not play weeks 1-3 or 5. In week 1 wj had 2 sacks. In week 5 wj had 2 more. All 4 of habbas sacks came in games jj did not play.

Yea. Instantly bad results lol.

Rookie imp can play in the league and not miss a beat. It’s just hit or miss as to if guys can adjust to the Canadian game. Imo the yard off the ball makes it easier to adjust to pass pro as a tackle in the cfl.

That would be excellent for them or honestly a bunch of teams. Instant culture boost. Changes the entire nature of your ol and sets a whole new tone for the team.

I really wish we brought back Richmond and gray. I’d have zero worries in that case. As it is I’m sure we will bring in more guys and probably find another hardrick to develop. I also find it interesting no one else is going after gray. Maybe rice. If I was the riders I’d a been going after guys like rice and gray. Rebuild around young Canadian ol who have won.

I think the question is, will Bailey retire? Didn’t he have a side gig coaching hs or some thing?

Gonna be like this till the draft too ugh.

I don’t even hope we raid. I hope we target one guy and bring in one key fa. Idk any other team that doesn’t and relies entirely on internal development and rookie scouting. I love Bailey. Imo though he’s a max 125k range guy. And that might need to be with incentives. If any one wanted to give him a crazy deal he should’ve taken it. That’s not sustainable for him. I don’t think he will see 130k offer from any one this year. And Tim white is only hurting his value.

The bigger point you’re missing is lining up against cersena in your first start is very different than the dt2 as a guy with many starts over several years. Also, Dobson didn’t come from a zone blocking scheme. And if there is no tackler at the second level when you get into space if you are the double and skip guy in the scheme you aren’t going to our run the play and find a guy to block.

No, he had a stronger arm than either. It’s not even close. They weren’t throwing 60-70 yards with ease while falling on their ass or from their knees. Bishop did in game for and against us in fact. The very few guys who could legitimately claim a spot above him in all of pro sports are nfl outliers like Jamarcus Russell. At the bishop level you are talking about QBs who break WRs fingers with max velocity.

Lofton stunk here too though. The concern is that he becomes the next Jackson. If the jags cut ayo oyelola I wouldn’t mind if we brought him back for global depth.

Castillo is for sure a good punter. It’s only worth carrying an extra guy if he is an extemely good punter and kick off guy. And even then, kick off depth could be trivialized this year. Love to see more Karamoko. Hope we draft more actual players this year too. Omf I knew we were gonna sign that dumpster fire. Damn it. That guys the worst imp T I’ve seen up here in years. Should we bring mourtada back? Bad experience isn’t an asset imo

Bishop had worlds more arm strength than any of those guys.

If we can have one guy doing all 3 kicking jobs, dress 6 ol, not wasting a di on the marine, and proper use of the fake ni we could gain a TON of active roster depth. No more hallet as the only back up db, or no back up WRs other than grant etc. we could carry an imp sts guy who is actually good on kick cover even

Bishop had an 11 out of 10 arm though. Every one in the league today has less arm then him.

Yep. Habba only played 1 game with jj. I get that it’s just a podcast, and I don’t follow any podcasts. But damn it takes next to no effort to be factual in this. I love jj, but he’s dependant on others more than the reverse. We need one guy to just go after the qb on a fast aggressive line. That can be any one almost. He’s a guy who gets pressure, but has always struggled to finish. Tbh he and wj are similar in the struggle to finish out sacks. If we had a guy like mauldin you’d see wj on a whole new level. Jj went a full month of games with out a single sack each of the last two years. Both in the middle of the season. He’s a beast when he’s healthy, but combine his running cold on actually getting the qb with missing 1/3 - 1/2 the season every year and it’s just not sustainable. the last two years 7 of jj 12 sacks have come against ssk and bc in 6 of his 26 games. With another 2 in 2 games vs edm. That means he had 3 sacks in 18 games against the rest of the league, while bc and ssk had the worst pass pro in the league over the last 2 years. His other sacks came 2 vs mtl in 2 games and 1 vs ott in 1 other. Doesn’t he post on here?

I mean maybe there is some confusion but that’s just not right. Habba had 4 sacks while jeffcoat was out last year playing in his place and wj was playing better before jj came back. 2023 jj missed weeks 1-3 and 5. In weeks 1 and 5 wj had 4 sacks. In weeks 1-3 haba had 1 sack in each game. His 4th came in week 15, which jj missed. That’s 7 sacks with out jj in 4 games for our ends.

All blocks are not the same. Being a 200 lbs wr and getting in the way of a db on a run or pass is reasonable to expect. You can’t expect an ol to never get beat. For a fb like Jackson, when you’re 260lbs you should stone wall any db or wil most every time. Picking up a blitz or blocking a dl one on one you can’t expect them to replace an ol easily. Jackson in the run game was mostly blocking down on smaller guys. He was coming in specifically for that role so the expectation should be high. He didn’t out perform what any ni lber or fb on our roster the last two years would’ve done.

Interchangeable with corny imo. Not likely to be more than a qb2 but some chance with great coaching and a good offence of maybe taking a step.

Both right and wrong imo. He was sub par for a fb / teams specialist no matter the passport. Taking a di spot only made it soo much worse. If he had become a strong kick cover guy and been a mike sellers blocking it’s a different story. Yep Wilson and barriere. I’d be stunned if we didn’t break camp with Eric Barriere as qb3/pr. He smashed Nichols and blms records at eastern Washington a powerhouse developmental pipe line for the cfl. He had a bunch of nfl looks and interest. Blue chip passing prospect. Terry Wilson is no slouch either. 4 star recruit headed for Nebraska who flipped to Oregon. Red shirted then Oregon fired coach frost and the team wanted to go in a different direction. Went to juco then to Kentucky then COVID hit and ended in New Mexico. More raw version of stevy. Strong dual threat qb with great tools. We also have a qb who converted to wr for nfl looks iirc but had a great career too dont know if he’s planned for wr or qb. If not we might bring in one more camp arm but with the Canadian we will get from cis they might not be needed.

Yeah, I think we will continue to find guys who wont miss a beat in the secondary. If BA is fully healthy and the system more tailored to his talents, plus a more seasoned Ford and Holm back we could improve a decent bit. Agree. I think mostly we will see the same Lbing core, but with more cole snaps. Wj certainly needs another pass rusher to take weight off his shoulders. Hes best if that comes from the nose, but also if we keep a fresh end. Rotating more, getting back to a nose, and more of the better useage schemes weve seen in the past are a bigger impact than who we start imo. Ol should be fun to watch in run pro, I think pass pro will take a bit of time to gel but be good. The wrs wont miss a beat either. Draft is gonna be big, but I'm not expecting an immediate impact on our game day roster. Maybe some teams or rotational impact. Unless we see a great turn key guy in the supplemental draft and get them. Global draft will be key too. This sums up how I feel about houston too. Great guy, the story about his kid getting hit in a drive by while in bed was heart breaking. I'm happy for him as a person to get paid. I'm happier hes gone, he isn't the player or talent we need.
