Gotta be That was a huge part of it. Gotta have a competitive involved camp and pre season. Especially with a new playbook install.

Same improvements we see every season from the bottom and mid tier teams plus bc just spending. Looks good on paper till you look at what they had before they added pieces.

Is the west rising? Cus I still see a lot of poor built teams here. The whole landscape as been squished but it isn't getting squishy-er. If we run a good offence under hogan, and I think we will, yes. I think strev has as good a chance to lead us to the play offs as most any QB that's moved this off season. Strev is the guy who saved our season last year. If we didn't end up going to him when we did, we never turn that ship around.

Great coaches can still be very flawed. Lapo is a great coach. He isn't great at being an OC, and as a HC can't keep his hands off the offence. If he could accept a HC role where he leads his coaching staff and they run his systems, he'd be an amazing HC any where. Mos is flawed and great as well. He is a world-class culture setter, with one of the highest work ethics you'll ever see. His roster-making is his Kryptonite. He really believes that the rando back ups are as good as the stars in front of them. Because they could be, but many won't and aren't. It's not that hard really, khari was a flawed but great QB. He threw more picks than TDs to guys not named milt. Danny mac too. If blink was a gym rat, if Biggie was bigger, etc. It comes down to a question of, what is the goal. Is our goal to win Gcs or play in them? We are not doing every thing required to win GCs, and haven't the past 3 years. We are doing enough to get to them.

Yeah, takes a lot to break that cycle. And even when you're out, it's gravity still hits you at random times.

Don't think he replaced Hubert, but gives us some versatile depth. Realistically he looks like an end-of-the-NI roster guy. But a Canadian who can basically play the same role and impact as the Seal is nice to have.

Vaj as a back up isn't sustainable but yeah. I think masoli is a better guy as a game manager, and extra coach to help rourke too.

Masoli to bc is an excellent move

Neither one is low potential. Neither is any thing like goltz or brink….

Based on his exceedingly rare combination of tangible assets and intangible ones. As was pretty clearly alluded to in my post. Likely based on what exactly? Strevy got hammered here twice in the past because of usage. As has also been explained repeatedly here by many people. Even strevelers own quotes. Crum is a good back up QB. He put up more, WORSE stats on a worse team. Not better stats. Crum put up less Tds, and more than twice as many turn overs. That isn't better lol

Me too. Especially with no more buck. I have a lot of optimism for what we could do on O this year. I actually like the back filling strategy. While every one else is racing to pay the top FAs elite money, even if they aren't elite at their position, we are scooping the best guys to be the last imp wr etc. I think the pass catchers we got have a tremendous opportunity to have career years with us. I do wish we had done more on the DL, and OL. But the off season isn't over yet.

Blue chipper. Don't tell the guy who cuts players, grinds the meat for hotdogs, does social media and film work for the AFL team. He pretty much gets paid in hot dog casings. Every other team coming to with a spending frenzy hang over. Wait, we agreed to give him how much?!

we probably trade him for a conditional 7th round pick now. Then end up needing a LS next year No joke. Any other league a guy going through that would be screaming. Strev is a top tier guy football and in general. His work ethic, mental toughness, and team first mentality is incredible. He is going to find success as a starting QB. Just need to stop handicapping him.

Laroux. He's supposed to be a damn good snapper. The site for team, which is probably run on an angelfire domain, will likely list his role as DL coach, wr coach, trainer, bus driver, and half time hot dog sales associate. All for 8 bucks a game.

treveler wanted to make sure he wasn’t walking into a similar situation as last year. “Things happened last year where it just didn’t work out the way that I think anyone envisioned it would, on a lot of different fronts,” Streveler said, adding he’s excited to see what Hogan can do. “I’ve had some really good discussions with people, specifically within the Bombers. Had I not had those conversations with someone and felt excited, it would have probably been a different conversation, right?” erce seemingly unwilling to show any unique looks for Streveler. That seemed especially odd for an offence that struggled for much of the year, particularly early on, and could have used the spark. “I don’t really know why things went the way they went, to be honest with you. All I can tell you, from my perspective, is I broke a rib in the Ottawa game when I started, and maybe that that kind of hurt things a little bit,” Streveler said. “I was fine. I didn’t miss any time, didn’t miss any games. But I couldn’t really give you a great answer as to why things went the way they went, and that’s why I needed to have those conversations going into free agency. I think that there’s definitely a role that if I’m not starting, to do what we did in 2018 and ’19 and give a change of pace and add a different element. I know I can still do that.” Streveler said his rehab is way ahead of schedule; when he first got injured, doctors were projecting almost a year to reach full health, but Streveler said he is well on track to be ready for training camp in May. He’s already able to run and jump and has been throwing the ball three or four days per week, all while showcasing a positive attitude. Playing QB with a broken rib is no joke yikes.

To be fair, every year since like 19 more than one guy has gone back on a deal at the last minute when every one thought it was done. Usually seems to be dbs for some reason.

I think his play as a nose blinds a lot of his earlier play at 3. It is frequently designed that an end closes the pocket from behind and frees up a sack for another dl. JJ created soo many sacks for so many guys it’s not even funny. I recall him having a HH play on a turn over on downs play stopping a back with one arm while the other arm was full of ol. But idr what year that was lol. Westermans get off move was insane. He rushed the passer like a slot back on the waggle he was soo quick with the first steps.

As some one with significant trauma in the past I whole heartedly agree. People who haven’t yet made that choice, I chose to meet with empathy first and foremost. His actions aren’t excused. They do warrant a citation though imo.

He’s absolutely responsible and always ways. However being dehumanized and treated in ways that would sicken most people has serious long term issues. That era wasn’t exactly known for trauma support.

My rough top group of guys I’d take over smith. sanders, Peyton, lt, brown, Peterson, oj, Faulk, the bus, Dickerson, Henry, gore, and a few guys like mccaffrey, Holmes, Alexander, and Johnson. I think if you swap any of those guys, reasonably healthy onto any of smiths teams they wouldn’t miss a beat. And bring more dynamic play making/explosiveness. people talk about Marino not bringing home a ring aikman being a product of the system and talent. But they’re both ahead of smith for me. Aikman not far in front though lol. Durable as hell though. I’ll give him that. Ya. Which I could see. I think a lot of the 2 ring core vets will get a look.

the comparison is the gap between mikawos and Jake which is massive. You could argue smith in the 90s before he played ages beyond his prime, but he’s as much a product of the system and talent around him as any one in the hof. You’re right about monk though. That is a better comparison. Rb is soo insanely deep with talent when you look at the guys from the late 90s to before rb load management, it’s not even funny. Larry Allen the most outstanding player on that offense imo.

Tbh I’m not worried about guard and I wouldn’t pay Dobson top dollar. Wallace will be as good this year imo. This, C even more than RT is our issue.

I don’t get wanting to spend 230-300k on WRs, 200+ on a back and 600k on a qb but not paying dl. I’d much rather pay dl than wr or rb.

I think we got one more move either in free agency in the bargain bin or a trade maybe around draft time. I think we likely target db or maybe ol. It’s already been a very active off season for the cfl and surprising. Expect any thing tbh.

No doubt it’s crazy. It’s like Emmitt smith being the all time nfl rushing leader. But not even close to a top 5 or even 10 back. Is Jake a hofer? If mos has any thing to say lol. Honestly our dl talent in the all time pool hasn’t seen many guys join its rank in the past 30 years. I like Jake for a big chunk of his career, especially as a rotational 3tech. (Though I did want more dual big nt imps in 19/21) Im good if he goes into our hall. Hes a great guy and has played a very fruitful career here. Never a selfish moment. His usage since stove left isn’t his fault. I really hate what mos and others have done to guys like Jake. Watching guys run out who can’t play any more is awful. Unfortunately we’ve seen a hell of a lot of this the past 25 years.
