  1. I think I was looking at his pre renegotiated rate of 260k. 8/13 not including QBs is still pretty high. More imps than ni on that list too.
  2. None. Among imps it’s very limited too. Not including QBs, lawler. Though I haven’t seen the details on wjs newest deal. Lewis makes more. Not many guys in general other than QBs make more money than Willy.
  3. To think if they pulled the plug appropriately early they could’ve sniped some one like goveia, Ringmaiden, etc. I kind of feel like they are going to wait for edm to fire jones and bring him in as a gm and hc in waiting.
  4. Interesting, in that case I expect nothing to happen. I sure would like to hear that he talked to Bruce, the team, etc and that he was good to go. Actually, how did he skip the draft/supplemental then?
  5. They will have their work cut out for them just to match last years production.
  6. I wonder if the cfl will uphold his contract. He was suspended from the ncaa and ruled ineligible for transfer. He was gambling on his own games including shaving points. I think it’d be cool to have Bruce the 4th in the league. And I think being a second chance league is what it’s all about talent wise for Americans. But man, shaving points is bad business. Doesn’t make sense to me to uphold other leagues drug suspensions but not gambling on their own games and throwing.
  7. Man on man I hope they paid his ass well lol. Realistically I suspect the market for brown as a starter will be Edmonton and Calgary. I think ott, ham, ssk, would be interested as a qb1b to push a guy and maybe take a job. It’ll be interesting to see how qb fa shakes down. I think the chances of a brown return are going up for us.
  8. Score can’t be reflected on one aspect of a team. Reductio ad absurdum. Our defence was terrible at tackling. Our kick cover teams were miserable. By your standard, it was all great. We do not do things on the dl to aid our lbers. We literally do the exact opposite. Our lbers funnel support entirely to dl and dbs. That’s why our tackle and plays made totals are always low at lber. You are completely and hopelessly lost and with out understanding at a basic level of how defence and our defence works, and is graded. Most every one did. The collapse was as complete or more so than our 01 gc collapse. Doesn’t mean guys are undesirable. he’d be a stellar pick up too. The Argos D is jam packed with talent. It’s ridiculous, and I’m sure teams are gonna feast on them in free agency.
  9. Laremy tunsil went from possible no1 and top5 consensus to possibly falling down to 3-4th round then the dolphins grabbed him at 13 and made out like crazy. Wasn’t it his dad or some thing that did it to sabotage him? Lucky whitehead got screwed even harder. Apb for some one matching his description. Had an alibi that involved the team, didn’t care they cut him. No charges quickly realized he was innocent and he was the wrong guy but doesn’t matter to the nfl. It’s messed up.
  10. No they don’t. Go look at the pressure per offensive snaps. It absolutely does. How many times did we see pressure that lead to a big qb rush or throw last year? All the difference in the world.
  11. Good point it doesn’t sound like they are doing a search and interview process.
  12. Wow that’s a huge shake up. Strange jump from hc to president. Wonder who their hc will be. June jones I imagine?
  13. Nope. Dee Alford was an nfl talent and didn’t get a whiff. Lots of guys fall between the cracks. That’d be nice to get kongbo back.
  14. Woods is a tall lean 3-4 4i/end tweener. That projects as a regular cfl dt not a nose. I didn’t see any snaps with him lined up on the nose in college. Remember stove was a 300lbs nose at like 5’10. Woods is 4-5 inches taller and slim for his weight. He could twist into the nose some but I don’t think he’s gonna be a cfl nose. He does have great mobility for a dt though. He’s like a heavier Ricky walker.
  15. Toronto rotates every one in their front. Including the best lber in the league for two years. Oakman is a top tier nfl talent, you don’t end up in the cfl being a guy like him or Willy with out knocks.
  16. We did, but we did not generate consistent pressures, and we didn’t do it with out sending extra guys. Willy j hit the wall hard last year, jj missed most of the year, Thomas was completely burned out, etc. those numbers also take into count db and lber pressures, coverage sacks etc. our west final was almost all coverage sacks.
  17. Good for him gonna be a nice pay day. And bring him closer to pension. I’m sure he will have atleast partial pension next year.
  18. Really all dl need to actively rotate in the modern cfl. You don’t gain much by sending 1/2 and playing cover 1, since teams will just chip WRs, roll, throw at the gap and with the narrow hash marks it’s really easy to throw to the gap. Cover 0 and playing dbs back by the first down marker gives you a chance but you’re still real susceptible to yac plays. The key to consistent pressure is mixing looks. 3 and 4 man fronts, layering pass rush lanes, twisting, running cheetah, then showing and dropping from blitz looks. Doing all that requires guys to constantly be as fresh as possible so they can really get after it. When you try and do that stuff with out rotating especially if they other team runs with some balance the dl just gets beat up.
  19. I would go ni at lber. And or if ford came back at field corner maybe. We started 3 ni on d last year and that was often with 8 starting. We can easily drop one. He did. He isn’t Casey sayles but he’s way cheaper. Nose/oakman at the other dt spot is a game changer. The problem with that is we need another quality dt to rotate and back him up.
  20. Yeah long time guy. Is he ready? Yes. In his reps over the last couple years he’s been very good both pre season and late season. The question is will he physically hold up to starting every game. Don’t and won’t know till he’s in the fire. yep, holly is the First Lady of Winnipeg. They’ve lived here full time for a couple years now iirc. He might be a candidate for coaching down the road too. I 100% think the answer is flipping the dt ratio spot and running full imp starters on the dl. Sign oakman, bring in noses to rotate with walker and oakman use Lawson to bring in an imp db/ rotate guys.
  21. During that 20 years the riders were a strong market for little more than a blip. They also had save the riders rallies yearly 20 years ago. And are tanking hard again. Bandwagons emptying riders aren’t the back bone of any thing but the basement these days. Best of the worst. Do you honestly believe Zach would suggest going to ssk? First advice from any qb to an upstart in fa is if you can, pick a team with an ol.
  22. I don’t think ssk will actually go after brown. I think they are gonna run it back with dole fine and Harris.
  23. Says the guy posting on his teams rivals fan forum lol.
