Rourke. Highest paid guy in the league by a lot. Milligan is solid on teams and a good db. He isn't the best but he's good. Db is a position you expect guys to excel at quickly to. At qb, the sophmore year is a hard hit and the way you really judge em is how they bounce back from that. Rourke is at that judging point now, but being paid like he's flutie 2.0. Coasting off his first half a year as a starter, which was 3 years ago is nuts. Rourke could be the 3rd or 4th best qb in the league this year, and that would still leave him wildly over rated and paid. I think he has as good a chance at having another brutal year as he does of being 3-4.

Didn’t do enough to win a cfl job. But did enough to instantly get signed and get a cfl job from another team. Lmao yep sure thing bud 👍

Evan’s. Not even close. He has a good chance to be in the nfl in a year or two.

Averages aren't everything. Evans was hitting angles, he wasn't suddenly shanking punts. Also, in the first game Evans averaged 53.5 to Sheahans 43. I would've gone with Evans, but I get PRing him. I understand that we can't force him and that he left for a chance to actually play. That alone, should tell you all you need to know though. The riders wouldn't have been scooping sheahan.

I don't agree that it was closer than perceived. I haven't seen a multi-year incumbent punter with such frequency to shank punts be handily the best punter on any team with competition. Sheahan is Mos' guy, it's really that simple. Evans wasn't like some guarenteed golden leg reincarnation of bob cameron. But everything I saw and heard, he was clearly better. Even angle punting and hang time, Evans was better. But his speed at getting the ball off and consistent abilit to drive the ball down field a lone set him head and shoulders above Sheahan. Dude is good for at least 1 shank a game/practice, and prone to shank streaks on top of that. He has good games, and he has games that aren't brutal. But he is very consistent in smoking a ball off the side of his foot out of bounds for a net 10 if we are lucky. If you break down his splits, it would be sickening how many under net 25s he has.

I agree, though Evan’s didn’t shank any and has astronomical leg talent and potential and is just 23/24.

agree

Thanks for the tidbits. I kind of suspected evans refused a pr spot. Sucks he is sask bound but not surprised. Cooley is to much not to love lol.

722/727 yards is the career high between all 3, in 15 and 18 games. Whites was before a disastrous injury, and Mitchell has been a fraction of what he showed in his rookie half year. I don't think any of those 3 are highly projectable. And like I said, they haven't been excellent. Our wr core is a mile wide and an inch deep. That inch, is mostly schoen. He said they've been excellent here in camp and pre-season. haha right? I don't know any football fans that do any more tbh.

Hey now he made 1 none stamps pick in rourke for moc! lmao

Woah that’s awful

Does he qualify? good point. Pass rushing is one of the hardest jobs in the cfl to succeed at. Up there with fixing the culture in Saskatchewan.

Ohh that’s some spicy picks I like it. Id love to see every team in the play off picture going into the last week.

Imo, the change happened because holding has become extremely rare on the ol. Ols have adjusted and mug freely, so defences aren’t playing for quick pressures because it just doesn’t happen consistently enough. It’s only a matter of time before teams adjust pressure tactics though.

The early roster from I think dt? Didn’t have Kelly on the ir but it could’ve been an over sight. He was transferred to the 6 back on the 11th I think? Probably won’t get ir/ar updates till next week. Lawson might need a week or two, played a decent bit in week two but not a ton. Same here.

We don't, but Mos is married to the heavy set packages, where Schmek shines. And I think he's married to schmek anyway in general. I'd be happy with just 1 on the roster. But that would be one of the biggest surprises to me. I think kelly will be ready for game 1, but Makonzo seems to be a bit out. When we have both, with shay as well, I think we can go with out the DI DB for the dime set. If vaughters faulters, I think Person will be quick to get pulled in. I'd love to have taht line with person in. I'm not holding my breath though. Bailey I think is going to be Hansen 2.0, but better. Im really excited to see him get in and contribute for us.

Same boat here. I think Calgary and Ottawa will be in a similar situation. Very good Qbing, good offence, not a lot of support. But I think both will be better than Hamilton was last year.

I think it was a crutch, though it will remain an extremely good option for various situations. I don't think that will be our base or pass D base this year. I think we will see a lot of 40 fronts, and more blitzing than we've seen in a while. Hopefully not too much, but some situational blitz packages. Not just feed a lber to the centre/guard either, but blitzes actually designed to get a fast backer to the QB.

Awards, standings, the team, whatever your pleasure. Standings : Winnipeg Bc SSk Cal Edm I see us winning in the 12 +/-1 game range again in a tight western race. I think Calgary is in the playoff race and will go right down to the wire. I think SSK and bc jockey for 2nd in the west, and bc wins by 1 game. Montreal Toronto Ottawa Hamilton Toronto's season losses slow them down at the start of the year, but their endless spring of dynamic import talent at DL helps them peak at the right time, yet again. Montreal, I think, will start out well and then close the season on a low note. Dru brown might be in the MOP race when he puts Ottawa on his back again and drags them to the playoffs. Hamilton is in a rebuilding year that they still won't commit to. For us, I think we will flash brilliance early on, but not protect the QB as we need to, until after LD. I think our D will top the league and be even better than last year. I think some people in BC will wish they hired Hogan, not Buck, before the year is out. I think Vaval will be our MOR, and most of the rest of the awards candidates for us will be repeats. Schoen leads the league in receiving and TDs again, Brady in rushing yards. I think BC comes to regret the major decisions they made this off-season, namely in Buck and letting Vaj go.

Very much agree. That was one of my biggest concerns with cut time. I'm fine with seeing if tony jones can grow. He flashed better range in camp and the first game. It's nice to have a young athletic LB core. Agree for sure. If we can rotate Adams for some snaps on the edge and Bailey for some as well, that will let us keep WJ and Vaughters both healthy and rested. It's also going to be a big advantage to have Cam back for half+ the defensive snaps at one DT spot, and woods/adams in year 2 at the other. Teams are not going to be able to double WJ a lot this year.

Yeah. the difference between having schmek, as the 3rd canadian Dt and 5th DT over all vs having a 2nd DE is huge. Schmek can do some heavy set stuff, but bailey has some value for teams as well.
