It’s not a double standard, it’s a standard. Walters and mos have met the standard Zach has not in the play offs. Though I think you can make a case for mos, I’d always give that guy a shot. He’s a beast and not just athletically phenomenal but his technique and football iq too. That said I’d rather have oakman right now. Likely. I wonder if they cut brown to let him explore his options. Don’t like it but I could see it happening if they don’t intend on resigning him to the kind of money he’s gonna be offered. 100%. He’s not physically imposing at all. He should spend the off season doing S&C with Lamar mcgriggs (assuming he still does that stuff.) he could put on 5-10 lbs of reasonably lean muscle between now and next tc, not lose any fluidity and gain a lot of strength.

Yea, but like I said Mack wasn’t doing jack with the draft it was all walters. He is absolutely explosive as a run jump athlete. He and Parker have the best first step in our secondary by a lot.

Grant is a beast. One of his college team mates at one point said he had the biggest squat on the team lol. Physicality could be an issue but you never know. Stranger guys are in the nfl. Teams could look at him as a package nickel vs speed teams like Miami. I’d say Brady has a 5% chance of getting a tc invite, and holm maybe 20%. Brady if he can get it more power to him. I love the guy and want to see him succeed as much as possible. Rb is always the easiest gap to fill. We could bring in some big power back or a balanced. Probably 15+ guys about to shake loose from the 2020 NCAA crop all of whom could start in the cfl, and would be a force behind our ol. A guy like lew Nichols, or Bryant Koback. Nah. His pre mafia era picks weren’t good, people will blame joe Mack but joe didn’t know jack about the draft. I’m sure those where walters picks. Also, faith ekakitie. Bennett is better than faith.

Hed be a Monster here. dudes twitchy and explosive. His ability to close is really impressive.

Even for the NFL, this is a silly notion. Ford is 5’11 188. Holm is 5’11 182. Dee Alford is 5’11 175. Dane Jackson is the same height and 180 donte Jackson is an inch shorter and also 180 Kareem Jackson is 5’10 183 etc. lots and lots of dbs in the nfl with the same or more slight build as holm. Emmanuel Forbes is 6’1 166. Half the dbs at the nfl combine this year we’re Holms weight or smaller.

Solid camp released and went back to college lost his starting job in college and wasn’t brought back this year. Disappointing they didn’t atleast bring him back. Maybe he wasn’t healthy or didn’t want to continue to try and make it.

That’s a good point actually. I hadn’t considered holm might get a look but he certainly could.

He got good chunks at times, as much as Brady got imo. He’s a good change of pace back or a good guy to use in a 2 back package. I can’t see us spending 250k+ between 2 backs, or making that work while keeping dalton/brown/improving in free agency.

Sam, dt, 3 ol, 2 wr. That’s 7. No one is gonna roll into the season with 2 ni dbs starting imo. S is an awful position to flip unless you have an exceptional ratio breaker imo.

1, Augustine is the wrong kind of back. He isn’t that get 5 most every touch grind it out back. He’s boom or bust. 2, He isnt good enough blocking or catching to be an every down back in the cfl. 3, We would need another ni to be his back up which puts us in a bad spot if Brady comes back. We’ve been starting extra nis and wasting dis half the year. If we lost Brady we’d just flip rb to an imp spot and keep Augustine to back up the imp. Lots of good imps floating around that would murder defences behind our line. Finally, Brady is not getting an nfl. Look. Keep in mind Marshawn Lynch ran a 4.4 40. Brady’s 40 is waaay too slow by nfl standards. He ran soo much inside zone stuff with few consistent wrinkles for him in carrying the ball. He doesn’t have tackle breaking power vs nfl sized front 7s. He’s gonna be 27 next year and has carried the ball 460+ times the last two years with 80 catches. Schoen didn’t even get a look last year. Rb is the deepest youngest position in the nfl. They aren’t going looking for guys like Brady with the amount of Carries he has.

Brown n Brady will be the really interesting ones this year. that and who does or might not be brought back.

We should d been up by more. Should been up by 21 or more.

BRB going to steal some valour for ni FBs. Truth. Mantra next season is gonna be, building for 25. Then building for the future. Then rebuilding again. Jk, least I hope it doesn’t end up that way.

We had 100 opportunities to win that game. Brady doesn’t fumble, Zach doesn’t throw a pick, we don’t run the clock down with a 4 point lead and 7 minutes to go, we don’t all out blitz fajardo on the td pass, etc. the fact that we again, for the second year in a row came one play short in the gc with soo many chances to win is 100% coaching. With better coaching this game would’ve been a laugher. Like the two previous times we played mtl this year. Mtl adjusted we did not, then we didn’t adjust to their adjustments. Roster management is just one aspect of the Meta problem, coaching.

I posted that break down earlier in this thread. Yes, that’s his play off stats as a bomber. They’re terrible. He maybe had 1 solid game stats wise. You’re right. He won, no one gets to bag on him. I bet if I broke down his play off stats and compared em to zachs as a bomber people’s head would explode.

I wouldn’t mind it, I’ve always liked his game. Though he’d probably run us 100k. If we could draft a guy like him for half I’d be thrilled. If we can’t and sign a guy like him I’d be happy. Well worth saving a roster spot. Especially a di.

Tbh we have guys who can do the fb thing. We just have barely used them. Imo if you’re gonna carry 7 ol you can’t carry a fb unless they are your snapper holder etc. I would love it if we drafted a big multi purpose back who can back up Brady carry the rock a bit, play fb, play some teams etc. physically some one like litre.

The size and power gain to the inside with those two is insane. Brady will be averaging 13 yards per carry lol.

A bunch of guys deferred from last year is it should be stronger though you never really know till closer to the draft. Sudden nfl interest, guys getting hurt or going back to school etc. We needed to get younger, and better in the secondary pass rush depth nose tackle mac and dt. Didn’t go for any in free agency. We need most of those pieces again, especially db. Need to draft a young cheap ni rb, need a back up qb one way or another. Castillo was pretty much a wash with legs actually. But legs could do all 3 jobs instead of the punter version of mourtada. Lawson was a trade the previous year and Eli just came back. Keep in mind we lost out on guys like kongbo and desjarlais from our own group that went to the nfl too.

We had the tools to fix every position in hand imo. That’s the real concern. Before lawler when was the last impact fa pick up? I really want oakman but I’m not expecting fa to change our team. That’ll either happen before fa or wont at all.

It just goes to show how many people including pundits etc don’t watch the line play and don’t understand it. On the bright side Eli looks as good as ever. He was smashing the dl back 4 or 5 yards all the time. He should be the C next year hands down. I’d give Dobson a long run at guard too. Let him figure some stuff out and it won’t even take too long I’m sure. With how trim yoshi is now I wonder if he’d work well at guard? It can be hard for such tall guys to play inside but I think he’d be best off sliding in now.

It’s all Brett Favre stuff. A locker room this old has guys talking about it and thinking about it all the time.

Kola is only effective when he’s un touched and allowed to skate to the 2nd level and down block a smaller guy. And this year a lot of teams have realized it and been sending guys on blitzes and twists at him or lining up right on the nose. Bad tackling and a lack of gang tackling is a classic sign that the defensive coach doesn’t have the room. They don’t hate or dislike hall, they love him I’m sure. But he’s soft and they know it. You know none of those guys are being held accountable. It’s hard to get vets to keep doing that at old age. It takes a task master.

Insane. And gauthier played better in the gc than biggie played all year. Big props to him. I don’t think that means he’s ready to start or will become a starter. But he’s a hell of a contributor and competitor and a guy that certainly needs to come back. Athletes always want the chance. Coaches job is to save the athlete and team from that desire. Every guy on the team would want the ball in their hands with the game on the line. But most would be a bad fit for it.

That’d be nice. also, we need to sign Shawn oakman. Like, reeaalllllyyyy. Him next to Lawson with wj and jj would be impossible to defend.
