Thanks for these tweet imbedded posts all. As some one who doesn't really twit it adds a lot. Sucks about Agudosi. Hopefully its not too serious. At a point in camp like this especially with the none start I wouldn't be surprised to see lots of vet days and guys getting minor pulls. TC is tough as hell. Having a hitch in the start especially on a shortened start could make it tough. An article on 3dn last week had chris jones speculating that with the hash mark change the league could see a forced evolution of the Wil spot. As it is we don't see many 250lbs macs any more, the smaller side well rounded athlete at 220-230 has become much more popular. We've been seeing bigger sams become popular, guys who are more US safteys with cover skills and the ability to play in the box like moncrief. We might see Big ish dbs filling the wil spot. Guys like Kyrie can play HCF zone cover but not really take a wr man to man down field. If teams don't evolve on defense, offenses will use motion and rubs to create those miss matches. I could see a spot like that making opportunities for NI db tweeners. We have 8 dbs in camp over 200 lbs. A few of them like rutledge (imp, 6'1 215), Rene (ni, 6'2 206) Maston (imp, 6'0 210) Lavigne (ni, 6'0 210), Karamoko (G, 6'2 210) and the classic hallet bro, nick (5'11 202) with honorable mention to Ciguineau (ni, 6'3 196) all of whom could draw into that type of roll situationally or full time for maston. Ty ford isn't far off either at 5'11 194. Hes smaller then the rest, but a maximized athlete. 17 reps at 225 for a sub 200 lbs db is no joke.

It’s great to hear that grant is getting a serious look at wr finally. That’s really exciting. Glad to hear that Saunders is looking good too. Yeah and a tough guy mentally. Being out of football soo long then coming back to what happened last year has to be crushing. If his work shows dividend’s with the hash mark move I think he’s going to do great. this is def his last chance unless he shows great.

3DN has us as the 2nd tightest team against the cap, but it doesnt matter pre final cut down. And where as some teams have crazy stupid contracts that will leave them tight, we will cut a ton of guys and have a good bit of room to be in on the likes of dobson, desjarlais etc. I have no doubt that we could make strevvy work if hes a reasonable priced back up. Itll cost us depth and maybe a possible nfl returnee or two. But to date that's always some thing you can make work in season. And this team is very good at budgeting money on the back end and saving cash as needed. Gotta remember that by the time the CBA is signed and NFL camps are over teams could be looking at big contracts on the 6 game and less than a full season of strevy contract. Which makes fitting him much easier. The question is the price on strevy. If he's in the 100k range, I'd take him all day every day. 200k range is tougher, but I'd still take him on the lower end of that. If its 300k+, and he could possibly get that, I think that's a real hard sell. I think at that point buck and the mafia have to take a good hard look at him and consider if he's improved and if they want to deploy him in a package, and if he is ready to stay long term. I think we could see a lot of wild cards jumping in on strevy too. Tor will spend the rest of the leagues money like mad. They don't have depth and aren't sold on MBT. They have a great offensive qb coach HC running the show and some real good weapons. Ott would be a dark horse, but if last season taught plop and co any thing its that QB depth is critical. He has ties, but would be the worst fit in the league for strevy imo. Edm has been throwing every thing and the kitchen sink at qbs, and especially athletic dual threat qbs. BC, yeah yeah they are going NI. Until they aren't. They don't have the fan base for a lengthy rebuild and the new owner will want to make an impact asap. Rourke would also be a great guy to back up strevy as he has a similar package. Ham is one injury away from being a 5 win team at best. Ssk too, and the public leash on fajardo is getting shorty and shorty. I don't see cal jumping in but if blm is as done as he seems they are 1 injury away too. And maybe maier doesn't take as big a step as they need. For us prukop brings a lot of what strevy brings for dirt cheap. But our no3 + depth is awful. Brown looked like he belongs on a d3 team as the equipment manager.

Agree If only the cfl didn't **** around to start.

Did you see the week before cfl offer. 10 years no salary increase. The cfl was clearly negotiating in bad faith with bs strong arm stuff. They gave coaches guaranteed contracts and revenue sharing but expect the players to sit on a roll back and to continue losing salary at the hands of record inflation. Despite a new tsn deal in 5 years and new gambling revenue.

Thats a terrible approach to building a brand. Hope he covers tc this year, and hope TC coverage is better this year than the last 20.

Its kind of surprising and sucks that bauming isn't reporting on rookie camp.

I think he's going to open some eyes in camp and ps. We could see the return of some streveler package stuff too.

Thought the same thing about mike simms walker too. He would've smashed records if he stayed healthy. To be fair, outside of 01 and 02 we were lucky to have a good no2 guy behind milt. A lot of great names came through in the early to mid 2ks, but only 2 great careers.

https://3downnation.com/2022/05/09/cfl-teams-commit-to-house-feed-players-until-conclusion-of-strike-or-end-of-training-camp/ A decent step by the league. Didn't have another choice though.

If that was the issue sub packages for wrs 3rs down backs etc down south wouldn't be as effective as they are. Or part time te h back stuff

If it hasn't yet it will and soon. I'd take foster here. We are going ni but he can catch run and would be great as a di. Bc ham ott ssk should all go after him.

Argos cut dj foster.

The guys picked in the top 20 not getting nfl deals are drastically better than the rare top talents of 10 years ago. It'd be nice to have exclusive access to Canadians but that would cripple the stream of talent. This balancing act is the cfl talent pipe line in a nutshell. I'd love a new creative ratio that kept nis playing and starting but didn't hamstring teams more than need be but idk what that looks like.

https://3downnation.com/2022/05/06/effectiveness-of-cfl-rule-changes-rests-with-leagues-conservative-coaches/ Credit where it is due, one of the best 3dn articles in a while. CFL coaching is stagnant and passive. Young fans want to see exciting creative play call and designs.

Oh man I want that in the cfl. That seems to be a lot of people's sentiment. The usfl crowds in the hub for away teams makes the argos crowd look like bama

The cfl needs To hear negative feed back from fans on this like the 4 down talk.

He was a fa more than half of last season. He isn't interested.

Cmon cfl wtf.

The hashmark move should make mourtada perform drastically better. If he improves a bit too I don't think we need lirim.

That whole needed to be the bad cop thing reminds me of mos in the first half or so of his time here. Pro football, especially in the CFL is not coached like it used to be. Guys don't respond to the bear bryant treatment. Coaching is leadership, and leadership isn't barking at guys. Idk who they think they could get during the season that would come in and do a better job. That's kharis team. I have no doubt that those guys are his guys.

If every one is healthy, and gray is killing it, they could rotate neufeld and gray and keep both on the AR. You don't see that often, but I'm a big fan of it. Especially if you have great chemistry between all the OL. We have pioneered/championed the DL rotation in the cfl. And reaped great rewards from keeping guys fresh and letting them go harder in fewer reps, but still stick to the every rep every down, same guys on the OL.

Best guard in the league, 24, and an NI. If gray (as it stands) is playing great you bring him back and perhaps reduce the load on neufeld who is 9 years older. The combination of experience and age couture and desjarlais have is the stuff of unicorn farts. You hold onto that at any price imo. Gray also has the skill set to be a starting RT in the cfl.

Can't be true. That would require MR. TC MODP, 4 time TC line backer Tony Ortiz! 2nd best though for sure. If all 3 aren't in blue and gold this year, it's still the best OL going into TC. Unless BA recovers in record time, S will be an NI starter breaking camp.

I think he's atleast going to be on an nfl pr for a year.
