Sad thing is he is at least a little better than Flanders was. What a gong show ott is

Tremendous value. That's a steal. Duke at 260k.... hahaha haha omg that's the best news this off season.

Pre injury banks and lucky white head. Demski is most like hines ward. Faster than his 40 tremendous blocker and did more than any one else away from the ball under rated ability to gain yards after the catch.

Harris loves tearing up the riders d.

By reports you mean the 2 sentences by Farhan lionguy the bomber hater who was driving the same alleged wedge with collaros and the Bombers. The same guy guaranteeing the xfl merger last year with the loss of all Canadian rules etc. The same guy who repeatedly accuses us of cheating any time we sign any one. Even despite all that his allegations don't sound like the mafia at all. And if he had such a good connection with the bomber brass or some one behind them then he'd a had a lot more breaking bomber news. Like the trade dead line or player signings. The leaks he delivers comes from agents an hour or 2 before it's ratified with the league. “Coming out of the lost COVID season. Harris was admittedly distracted and his preparation wasn’t necessarily as all in as it needed to be,” Lalji alleged. “That led to some frustration in the building and there’s a belief that it also may have contributed to his injuries that forced him to miss a large portion of last season.” I wouldn't take this guys word on any thing other than what the Lions owner or xfl managers had for breakfast. Jake Thomas laughs nervously. Jake Thomas laughs nervously.

It was injury related. They hoped he would be healthy to come back at some point but didn't seem to happen. Not at all. 0 chance that if some thing like that happened that it'd get out of the room. But also no way Harris came in out of shape and sassy.

The right fa one of the best ol coaches and lots of ni talent and time. If you look back at our starting Nis it isnt a lot of junior call ups. Goosen no2 same as sukh then Couture 10th desjarlais no4 gray 8th. Eli would've been that high or better too if teams knew he was coming back from injury in College. And the whole hadrick is a much better tackle than guard plus bond being a monster at guard for us. The riders have been trying to fix that ol for years with free agents and draft picks. Same with bc and edm and basically every one. I think the big difference other than great scouting is culture and development. Culture and leadership mean a lot in football across the board. But no place more so than the ol. A guy like dickenson in ssk can't build a great ol.

Idk, this off season negotiation period seems like the theme is "lets break the bank." Thats a good move, I like it.

We have a big time stud ol prospect in the wings too, laim dobson. But its always a pretty safe bet to say we or any cfl team will look hard to add linemen in the draft. Yeah theyve built that way, the next step is the hard one though. But then we've watched as guys left in FA over the past few years and been doing it already. This season might just see some harder names go.

He should prepare to hold out and be ready to settle for mid level money and a good bonus. Maybe hold out till they stop pissing around with 250k offers to lawler and offer that cash to some guys who can keep him off his ass.

Some one, I don't recall who but credit to them, said in another thread I think that this is how the stamps stayed a dynasty. They didnt get overly sentimental in their attachments and never let feelings get in the way of progress on the roster. They didn't over pay their vets. If they got a huge offer else where, the next guy up was just as good or better. It takes a LOT of trust in your organization to do that. We've seen so far that the bombers have done that at several positions. None the least of which being DT, DB and OL. I'll add to that idea, doing the opposite of what the stamps did is how the 2001 bomber team collapsed in the years following. We didn't find and replace vets, we got stuck in this "we are good enough, just keep it together" mode. As if Walters and the rest of the mafia didnt have a hard enough job just keeping a core of a team together. They also have to know when to stop chasing a great player like maybe lawler or stove, and develop the next one.

It really is. If they sign lawler to the reported offer, that would have to be the most expensive WR core in modern cfl history. I'll be really disappointed if stove leaves. But if we get Drake nevis back and save money that's the next best thing. Both Sayles and richardson are poised for monster years next year. I really hope it comes in blue n gold. Take my money on that line too. Not just because of the lack of depth or questions about rourke. But the fan base too. They couldnt draw fans with Reilly, go tell the fans that Rourke is QB1 and try to sell season tickets. You'd have to pay to have them hauled to the dump.

Thats true, its not that they dont have the money, it's that they are going to create the exact same situation they were in. Trying to win the offseason and make the splashy moves rather than fill all the roster holes.

I feel like BC has learned nothing from the Reilly contract. But it's just my suspicion. That said if a DL single handled dismantled my OL I would probably go after him hard too. Funny to see BC trying to buy a DL now, after spending 3 dollars in macdonalds coupons on it last year. But they did the same thing with their secondary last year and it didnt work out great either.

only what 45 hours from ottawa to vancouver? shouldnt be a problem on the 3 games in 7 days schedule. 😆 You're right. But I don't like ottawa, and I like masoli even less. I hope we slap them around hard enough to make up for missing out on the free bingo spot last year.

@gcn20 Look at the names sheridan, mudge, krenbrink, jermese jones, gyetvai, elewonibi, orlando bobo, benedict ibisi, scott harper, andrew carter, goodspeed, parenteau, ryan bachman, corey annett, mike abou-mechrek, val st germain, dom picard, obby khan, garrick jones, belton johnson, kyle koch, paul archer, alexandre gauthier, andrew greene, matt o'meara, bobby singh, ryan donnelly, and darryl conrad. Mudge was the first guy gone from that list and is probably the best OL. Point out the Hall of fame worth guys and guys who should've won most outstanding linemen. The point out which of those guys would've cracked our roster in the past couple years. The only guy on that list who would be that good was garrick jones. And he was here part of a year iirc then in the NFL. 80% of that list wouldnt make it as TCF. You'd have to take the best of those guys at their best to make a top notch OL. That list has a decent chunk of solid - good while here OL, But even when the line was good they over achieved as a unit with some great coaching.

It is. The OL we had at the dawn of the khari era was already old. Guys like moe elewonibi played for a couple years after the wheels fell off. In 03 it was average to good. 04-06 that OL was one of the worst we ran out in the past 30 some years. Our offense continued to work because khari and glenn were mobile and got rid of the ball in a hurry. 07 it gets better but is average at best 08 it was worse.

Thats true, but neither of them put up andrew harris level clutch play off performances. It wasnt top notch. It was good, twice. And bad the rest of the time. His off the charts quickness made some very bad Ols look better than they were. And most of those years our OL was getting exposed over and over again in pass pro.

I get the resentment people have, but andrew harris has had an all time top tier OL. Maybe it isnt a clear no1, but certainly no other line has ever been clearly better. Blink played behind a lot of Olines that were pure garbage. I also dont see people taking that shot at milt stegall or khari jones.

He is also tremendous at beating the rush. With reilly gone he's gotta be the hardest qb to sack in the cfl. Maybe the fastest release, and very mobile. That said, did he get vaxxed or is it contingent on him getting vaxed? Makes no sense if not. I like RJ harris, but they need some WRs too.

Has arm, not a good arm but has arm lol. He's like a cowboy answering HGWT posting with a pop gun. 🤣 I guess the 2nd thing could be it. But many you'd think 2021 taught them that qb depth is needed. I would NOT want to rest an entire teams hopes for the year on the shoulders of Vaj and DD. Montreal hasnt been linked to any FAs, and rumor mill has it that they are losing most of their top available FAs. Menard, Shiltz and wieneke all supposed to be as good as gone already. Makes me wonder wtf is happening in montreal? If DD is just a cheap alternative, why would they be soo tight? I sure hope its either not true, and that its not the owner squeezing the penny pouch. Going into last year montreal was the leagues up and comer and favored by some, including me, to win the east. Now they are 1 FA day away from going right back to the dumps.

Dom Davis gets a deal in Montreal. How this guy keeps getting work in the pros is insane.

Harris is an all around back. The best balanced back the cfl has ever seen. That's better than just being a scat back or power back. He runs tough and hard no matter if he's bouncing it off tackle cutting back spinning away or stiff arming guys into the dirt. Brady is a power back. Augustine achieved one of the hardest athletic feats becoming faster and quicker. Unless Brady pulls a miracle like that he's always going to be a power back. He's got about 25lbs on Harris too. He posses more power than Harris but doesn't have the polish Harris does in breaking tackles. The stiff arm the ability to work out of a tackle angle etc. Harris is like milt he's got such a diverse high Level skill set and we are kind of used to that.

He did the exact same thing about collaros just before he signed.

Sign em all let camp sort it out. Rumor has it bc wants to go ni at rb. I think they will go after ste but they could be a trade target for a depth cut if we sign em all.
