But does he throw a heavy ball?

I really liked kojo as a player and a guy. But yeah we’ve been torched by guys we shouldn’t have.

And a pick just for you!

The spots are horrible in the cfl. I very seldom see a good spot in any game. It’s worse than strike zones in mlb. Makes me soo mad when a back judge runs in and spots the ball despite being a mile away and over ruling two guys who were closer.

Snafu

Brady is actually the guy I’d get off early. He’s young and tough but he plays a hell of a punishing style. And back just don’t last very often. After that Zach ofc. I really hope Demski hits 1k though. Also, f Chris jones. Still want to pound these creeps.

Agree. Plus they are a well coached team. They have a much better shot in any game than a team like the riders. Can you imagine how furious farhan would be? Wonder where vaj is in the mop race now lmao

Sitting grant is a good idea. Man idk about gmc returning. He’s got the tool set but I don’t know if he has the intangibles. Starting Hansen would be good. yeah we will know clearly from the roster. If Schmekel is back on or starting it’s bad news lol

I think having a cap isn’t a bad thing. But it’s too damn tight, and no way should it be multi year guaranteed when player contracts aren’t. It also shouldn’t be more tied to league income than the player cap. Maybe scouts shouldn’t be in it either. The more scouts teams have the better off the league is.

Ideally every post clinch game should be treated like a final pre season game. Get vets some concentrated well designed play. Maybe a half maybe the first drive of the second half too. And importantly get a real good look at some depth guys and pr to see if any one can be of greater use in the important games. I might sit walker one of those games and start fox. I’d probably start gmc at rb in the last game. I’d ask get Richmond in the last game with a start and put in Dobson and Eli gray at the other tackle. Put in garbutt and Habba start. I’d start des Lawrence in the last game too that way we can see if he’s healthy / worked through his issues from earlier this year. I’d also start clements and Cole in place of biggie and kyrie.

I really didn’t expect bc to get its ass handed to them by Calgary and to render this a meaningless game. This is still a home game with a week to go, so I expect to see starters till the game is either in hand or well out. Unless guys are getting banged up or at risk of it.

Ever since jones left they’ve had to settle for scraps and have been rejected by most every note worthy co in the league once, twice or three times. That alone tells you what oday has done. Idk how the have all survived the turn down in quality and attendance not to mention failure to compete in their gc host year. might be some thing to the being hand cuffed by the management cap. Which is beautiful irony after they are the reason we got it. It needs serious re work though. It’s causing a lot of issues league wide

I still like guys like milanovich and trestman. I think the high upside young cos are staying put this year. Oday is crap. I hope they lock him up for 10 years.

I don’t think it ends with that either. We haven’t signed a good player from with in the cfl in a while that didn’t play with us. We used to pick up un appreciated or under valued guys from other teams. I know, however it becomes problematic if more than one guy goes down, and we lack guys to fill a woli role. The top end depth of our wr core will keep us flush. But we are losing a lot of versatility and fit.

Agree. Either we gotta double motion which is fine, takes guys out of cover and clears up passing lanes for Zach. Or we play Demski like schoen and gmc like Demski but I don’t like that drop off. I like bolo, I wonder about starting him though in this case. seems like an odd fit and leaves us with no back up ni wr. Guessing he will rotate a lot. hate the secondary. No back up cover guy. It’s a huge risk. I imagine if any one gets hurt again we will slide ba over to that spot and plug one of the nucks in at s. Hope we continue to see more of the 30 front.

It’s a big difference but lucky we have lawler Demski and Bailey to step up plus career year woli. His redundancy with Demski worries me. I’d rather see him used to run off deep defenders but we will see.

I want to say it was a shade under 20k, but it could well have gone up a little bit with improvements to infrastructure over that span. They didn’t get that money which is stupid, but they also played at a dirt cheap venue compared to us or the riders now paying off our portions of the new stadiums. They would go and sell out the old ex once a year too. They could’ve done that for a fist full of big games a year and made a ton more cash. As good as the roster management was for them back then the franchise management did stink.

The riders were considered contenders similarly during our reign. The jets are the rough riders of the nhl, fan base and all.

Within maybe what 40% of the average sustainability like for a cfl team? But with all the costs Toronto is famous for, realistically they will be a cyst on the ass of mlse unless they sustain 30k. We saw the ALs, in a much cheaper market, sell out a ton of 19k games in a row in the 00s. And it left them broke, and abandoned by the market when they stopped performing at a high level. +25% on a dumpster fire is still a problem. Personally, short of a miracle I expect to out live the Argos franchise in the cfl.

Lawler had not proven any thing when the lions cut him. If he never played here, it’d still be a waste. Also you didn’t say prove any thing, you said talent. You’re moving the goal line to try and prove your point. Fact is, we’ve wasted talent and failed to develop guys. We’ve brought in more blue chippers in the last two years than we did in the previous 2 seasons. They weren’t all just flops. You’re wrong. It’s not purely recruitment and drafting. Doesn’t matter who you bring in if you don’t put them on the field. Mos has always rostered sub par scrubs over better players for intangible reasons. For the important part of two seasons our talent was soo much better than every one else’s that it didn’t matter. That almost never happens and isn’t maintainable. Reverse engineer your thinking. Did Malcolm Thomas start for teams after us? How many of the maligned guys make other teams rosters and or start when we moved on from them? Teams mostly go after our young guys. Who has signed away a 30 year old from us? The main problem is once guys meet a certain criteria mos is ride or die with them no matter who is under them. Do you think mos would roster nick bosa over jj / wj? I guarantee you he wouldn’t. If we signed the 5 best pass rushers in the nfl today none of them would start.

And given the nature of the mafia, I wouldn’t believe it as a rumour from a reporter or insider. They aren’t leaking that kind of info.

Again the point is look at the teams that beat us and see that it’s not all contenders close to half of them over the two years beating us was the biggest game for them. It’s not that Hamilton is gonna become a 15 win team in the off season but that every year bad teams get better. Even if the record doesn’t improve bad teams get more talent spend more money take more chances on rookies. The line is always moving up, If you aren’t, suddenly you get passed by a bunch of people and fall down in tiers quickly. You can say 99 times out of a 100 that doesn’t happen but it did, 99 times out of 100 bc scores on that last play of ot, 99 times you don’t get the double tip pick to win the gc in ot. 99 times out of 100 Zach collaros doesn’t come back from the brink to become a back to back mop. A good chunk of our loses over two years came to teams that had no business beating us. And the amount of times we played down to teams and came back to win like in edm is staggering. The line that seperates tor, bc and us from the teams below is very thing right now. In 21 it was huge, which is an aberration in it self. Every year the bad teams are one great/lucky off season away from contending. And old contenders are as close to falling off. look at Calgary. They went from expecting to be in a gc to mid play off tier to fringe. That fall off hasn’t even been quick. We haven’t on O though. 3rd q is our worst. We’ve had a bunch of hot starts in our wins. What kind of play call adjustments have you seen in the second half that brought success? The big difference to when our offence succeeds or fails is 1 sticking with Brady, but 2 and most importantly is Zach pin pointing deep balls.

The next man up isn’t always or even often a rookie. When we were the class of the league we took advantage of undervalued and utilized talent like rose hardrick Zach Demski grant lawler etc, or paid fa stars like Willy and biggie to step in and fill a gap.

Habba fox burtenshaw Deng Agudosi ads Muhammad Cole Caleb Lawson Parker salima pigrome. In the pile of guys that beat out superior talents and wasted reps/roster spots szott Schmekel Bennett Jackson machino kola Augustine Thomas gmc/Parker as a return man that’s just a few guys this year. Really not hard Karamoko over maruo would’ve been an improvement too.

It’s not hard to follow clear trends. We were the same gong show, and hamilton/mtl haven’t been gong shows on the field in the last while. I should’ve been more clear I was talking about who beat us not the amount. It’s not extreme, look at the 30 front to take him off more.that was the lowest snaps he’s taken in a meaningful game since idk when. An extreme opinion wouldn’t even be that ba, rose, biggie, wj, jj and our starters on ol will never be better than they are today. Because out side of gray, they combine to be about as old as speedflexs’ first bomber game. Lol it wouldn’t even be a big risk to say we haven’t drafted well since 19. Since the 19 draft have we picked a single guy who’s a starter today? A couple guys have started briefly in relief but that total could probably be counted on your fingers an extreme opinion or hot take would be some thing like Zach is shot, bolo/dobson/Eli are trash, lawler is better than schoen etc. not saying those are my opinions but that’s the range. My hot take? Mos won’t play better young guys because of his loyalty and is making us worse for it. Buck can’t adjust and has failed to build a system that progresses and has wrinkles. Hall is too soft to get his guys to tackle or play aggressive even out side of the cushion. We have our heads soo far up our own butts as an organization that we think our culture will keep us contending no matter what and staying on the moral high ground is as important as winning a gc. And that maybe, just maybe, walters is one foot out the door ready to go back to a gig in Ontario.
