Nichols play was tremendous. Perfect coverage, last second tip to save a score. But the immaculate interception I mean, I might not live long enough to see another play like that in a big cfl game. Little on to seal a championship game in OT.

True true. Or we could go back to back to back to back to back to back. Then we beat the edmonton dynasty record too. Too greedy?

mmm winning. better make it back to back to back.

Kicking wise yes. However his punts were bad all year long. Tbh I'd rather see him on the pr or ir for a year and focus on kicks than see him punt or kick off again this year.

So the XFL in a single year dug up 10 TEs who fit the bill, and I didnt go through all the TEs each team took to camp. Included in that group is a 265lbs 6'5 guy who ran 4.46, a nearly 6'7 255lbs te who ran 4.47. They also found a nearly 6'9 guy who ran a mid 4.6 40. All of these guys played for relative peanuts in a start up spring league. And for comparison, our wr core is made up entirely of guys who ran 1 very high 4.5 and mostly mid 4.6 to 4.7 guys.

Take a look at my post with the example and the draft combines. Literally tons of them kicking around out of the nfl. Teams have brought in nfl experienced and higher end ni tes but they don't last because they don't use them. Just like teams don't make good use of kr on offense and more. It's not a lack of talent available every team is stuck in the same rut running the same offense looking for the same types. No they aren't. NFL teams do not stock pile pass catching tes by and large. Most every team has 1 or 1 developmental guy. Not a few. By goal line it's more like inside 10 yards. We haven't done great at connecting reliable passes for scores in deep. Pounding it in is good if you are 1st and goal from inside the 5.

Harris as a te hback flanker would be tight. Kinda crazy how they don't use willy in goal line pack. A lot of te tweeners would tear it up too. Guys who could flex out more. A lot of really good 6 foot to 6 2 240 and under highly skilled two way tes who never get looks. From mtls situation sure. From Jake's if he got lawlers role and touches he'd be in the nfl.

I'd love weinke.

Next up duron Carter and sj Green. I dont remember Jones being a dumpster diver for ancient vets.

Did you coach more than 20 years ago and was it in Canada? Cus that would explain a lot besides most of these big athletic tes hit a late growth spurt and get jacked post hs or late hs. You would be stunned by the number of phenoms that fall through the cracks in d1. Seriously you could make a full pro bowl roster of kids who couldn't make school work and or had home life problems that took them away from football. Football does a worse job than any other north American sport of pulling those kids up. It's not like the 80s when guys started 4 and 5 years in college while not being able to read. A better none school alternative to juco would be the real start up football league thatd succeed. Late and end hs kids who aren't cut out for school getting paid to play and developing for the nfl and cfl. You aren't wrong about big soft kids. That's a story as old as time. But you don't have to be tough at 6 5 250 to beat up on cfl Sams. Or even wil and macs.

Bucky hodges is 26 been out of football since end 2019. 6 foot 6 260 4.5 40 40 inch vertical 134 inch broad jump. Good pass catching te. Go look at the bottom draft and un drafted for 3 years before him. You'll come up with a dozen elite big athletes at te under 30 out of football. Go down to 4.6 and 4.7 40 range or down to sub 250 lbs sub 6 foot 5 and you can find excellent route runner and pass catchers. They aren't guys who can block down a 250lbs nfl rusher though 1 on 1. The nfl hates situational players. 3rd down backs n such.

That's simply not true. Tons of athletic big flex tes are available. It's deeper that rb. Last time this came up I posted 5 guys who blew away that standard. Nfl teams don't carry many tes and more most teams roster 1 pass catching te these days. In our wr core demski is about the fastest. Most wrs are not 4.4 guys any more. Tes not wrs. Ya there are literally lots of guys lost as big athletic tes. It's easily the most abundant athletic position in football.

Qft. Imagine a team bringing in a 6 foot 5 250 lbs guy who runs a 4.5 40 and teams trying to defend that with a 5 foot 10 195lbs Sam. The us game especially the nfl used to be behind the cfl in terms of offensive innovation. But not the cfl offense is stagnat and the nfl has way more advanced and creative offenses. They run the spread better than cfl teams now. Mostly they run flex spreads with a te but that a lone would tear it up up here. 15 ish years ago cfl was more interesting to watch than it is now. We used to have teams running match zone or 3 4 front or cover 0 bend but don't break etc. Now all the defenses play similarly just with slight variations in cover frequency. The fits are all the same. Some teams just play the run better. Offenses are the same. 5 by 1 mostly some faking of an 11 formation mostly with a wr on the line. Lots of tight wr formations and tight zone running. Remember when the renegades had a fun to watch offense with kj running rpo and qb option with ranek? Or the als running 5 verts. 2 back power and split zone with 2 running backs playing off each other. If the cfl wants to hit the younger demographic teams should get out of the vanilla and back to the creative.

I thought it was this or push his way to a decent team with a half decent ol. Maybe he comes back, idk when he'd be eligible as a FA. Like obby kahn did when he left here and went the to stamps. BC is in an interesting position. I imagine they just became the primary target of trevor harris and leverage point for MBT. Or a reason for masoli to get the jab.

Yeah despite the talk of how bad 1 year deals are, this might be the thinnest crop of free agents in the 1 year era. The winner of 2022 free agency is probably going to be a team that gets a couple sneaky good pick ups. A young guy like Exhume. Or a vet coming off a down year like judge, or nevis. A team filling a long time hole with a guy like don jackson or mario alford. Or a team that gets a limited use player and gives them serious reps like woli, brady, or johnny o. For us, free agency is mostly about bringing guys back. But you still have to get better every year. Some of that can be organic, but adding new pieces is always huge. Depth canadians like the herdmen reeds, ante litre, or especially a rotational front 7 NI like boateng or betts would be huge. More likely I think we'd be looking at guys like adam konar, junior turner, stefan charles or david menard. We are some what fortunate that we dont really need to fill gaps in the roster, we need to maintain and turn over a few more gems to keep the train going.

You COULD, OR you could get in on the ground floor of barrel coin with me. So when all the other meme coins fail we can catch all the broke investors.

Very interesting hire. Cui has a tremendous background in sports management. Its interesting that they did this AFTER hiring jones.

https://3downnation.com/2022/01/24/elks-re-sign-rb-james-wilder-jr-will-be-vaccinated-by-training-camp-report/ Looks like flexmaster bicepspump will be back to strut his stuff after every 5 yard run. And will be vaccinated. This may as well be back 2 back champs news because I love watching our defense eat his lunch and make him pout.

You sure arent wrong. But damn, any one who thinks giving up lawlers talent and skill for 2 inches and 15lbs probably has mortgaged every thing they own to invest in doge coin. He makes even less sense. He's an average athlete for a guard/tackle in the body of a TE. A good 10+ te's are out of football right now that would be elite NFL athletes at the position. 50+ TEs are out of football who are dramatically more athletic then kalinick as blocking TEs. Though atleast with a guy like him if he has the right mind set he can be a career special teams guy in the NFL.

Yeah thats the risk, I sure hope not but only time will tell. I hope our money plus guaranteed play off money will be more than what others offer.

I dont think any one is going to dish out 200k for him. He's worth it, but I just dont see it.

I wouldnt be surprised if stove is waiting to see if he can garner any NFL interest. Probably wont happen, but I dont think any team is going to give him major dollars coming off a season where he missed a bunch of games. And not soo many teams are utilizing a nose. But DT money is always much lower than DE. So doesnt hurt for him to wait and have his agent try to drum up interest down south.

That sure would be fantastic. The fact atlanta signed dropsy mcnohands from ssk but are un sure on lawler tells you all you need to know about their front office.

No team has remotely enough players under contract to be worrying about the cap. That said I don't trust a few teams management as far as I could throw them.

He was one of the most physically dominant linemen in his some what limited reps. He's a nasty mauler and would've started on any other team in the league. Ruby got a deal If he gets a pass Eli will too. He's not like ruby or Masoli.
