  1. He's a bit more solid of a canadian than most vague NIs. He was born in richmond bc and started school in canada, his mom is canadian if only by way of toronto. His dad is a samoan and they moved to hawaii before tui started highschool. As far as balancing pedigree and nationality he's about as good as it gets imo.
  2. Yeeep. We have 2 good imp T prospects on the PR, but they are likely a year away. Both are young with a decent amount of NFL PR time, one with some reps who was a fringe starter. We also have the global from japan, but in all likelyhood unless we had gray and bryant/neuf go down we would see ham n egger kolankowski roster before an imp.
  3. Vaj has been awful this year. The first game vs ott inflated his stats. And the to game after they fired their coaches but before jones took over too. But even then against that brutal stubbler defense he threw 2 picks with 2 tds. Vaj doesnt have a throwing blind spot, but he has piss poor decision making. I dont think khari's offense is well tailored to vaj, but I dont know how you would tailor it to fit him better. Run 22 formation from under center with just 2 wrs and hand hold his reads? Fajardo has a much better offense designed around what he can do. The problem is, what he can do is really limited. At this point I wouldnt want either as more than a back up qb. If I had to pick one for a back up Id prefer fajardos skill set and ability to run an offense. But hes been toxic AF this year. Vaj isnt nearly as toxic. Id honestly stick to mcguire over either guy, even at the same money. I think both guys are getting dangerously close to the jennings-printers wash out line. Both guys could be in the XFL next year. Or one of the other fledgling spring leagues.
  4. he could start choking on kick offs and XPTs too. All his practicing and lack of game action he's really a kick off specialist. You can send him out for head on kicks as long as you have minimal weather issues. But other wise legs should place kick.
  5. Yeah, hes a freakin tank. The fact that in goal line sets they move a tackle out of their spot and put eli in says a lot. I would bet on him being a starter next year, and getting the league wide notice that desjarlais has this year. And more.
  6. Same basic thing they did for the second half of the last game. Eli to guard Neufeld to tackle gray dresses and we may see more calls and schemes to help Neufeld.
  7. what a F$%^ goof.
  8. I think one of the rookie DBs could be likely. It seems like our use of back up globals and NIs have been to get an extra one on the roster the last few weeks. Agudosi, rosie, and orange would all be great to get a look at. But again, I wouldnt be surprised if it ended up that we kept mcknight on the roster. They are fascinated with him. Mauro would be nice to get back on the roster, but our teams play has been much better since the change. Maybe he wasnt being disciplined in his lane idk. Oyelola is also a guy I would love to see get a game. I think he could be a very good teams player very quickly with his athleticism.
  9. Yeah, thats not a pretty guy to have to dig up. But he did have his best success with khari as his OC so they are familiar. Its better than glenn, or the rest of the ancient ones. But not by much. When guys continually pick to play for a loser and chase money, like muamba, it just clarifies that fact. It also sounds like he wasnt the old duke with the bills in TC. I think harris would work far better in plops system in ott.
  10. Lynch is on the PR, hodges isnt listed on any roster but in theory should be on it or suspended. Maier Idk. They shouldnt, they should go with him. But loyalty to BLM runs soo deep in stamps land. VA has been pretty disappointing this year imo. Its not that I think harris is worse, I think the pressing down field attack style with a similar run balance and comparable OL wouldnt help harris at all. I think the best they can really hope for is jennings, and a PR grab / talent upgrade to a guy like lynch or hodges.
  11. Hardrick would be a big blow to our passing game. If that was the case, I would roll out 6 ol a LOT with gray in at TE over neufs side. I expect lawler to be as angry and motivated as we've seen him. He messed up, now its time to channel that into performance that makes people remember that he isnt his mistake.
  12. Really depends on him. He was the most physically prepared K in the league, thats why he lasted and excelled soo long. I wouldnt be surprised at all if he has kept in pretty good shape. I want to say he used to spend 2 hrs warming up and stretching before the stadium opened up every game.
  13. I would think harris would be target no 1. Maybe they get crazy and call up glenn or durant. Maybe they try to shake one of the argos qbs free, though I doubt it. Hamilton? Take a risk on dane evans hoping he will be back, probably not. If I was them, Id be after paxton lynch, duck hodges, or see if calgary would part with maier. And maybe see about bringing in jennings. I dont feel like harris would hold up, or execute well in montreal.
  14. I would think we could cut a deal with either where they play here and their agent still kicks tires, if they get an offer we cut em and they go. I think if it comes down to a month and less of football up here a guy like that might be more willing to come knowing he will be cut as soon as possible to pursue a contract down south again.
  15. I hear youre getting together a crew. Im not interested. Im getting together a crew. You son of a B%^& Im in.
  16. Same. I think you have to be careful with too much rest when you have the bye, but at the same time we gotta keep the guys safe and give the back ups and rotational players some chance to play. Of note I finally saw some 2 back set used with brady and johny as an Hback in our heavy run /first down package. I wouldnt be surprised to see a miss direction run with one of them in the next few weeks. Fake toss to harris and hand off or shovel to the hback. Dare to dream.
  17. Dang, going into the bye with 3 games to go having clinched the division final would be sick. Even then I dont think we'd have a let down game if home field advantage was on the line in the following week.
  18. Id bet good money that he's called wade more times then the bombers have called medlock and lirim combined. I would also bet that every single call went straight to voicemail...
  19. The argos are kind of like the bombers pre collaros, with out nichols at the helm. Nichols was able to do enough passing for us to consistently win games. If they could figure things out and focus on the run they could be a real threat. I fully believe they have the horses in the back field to do it. They dont have the great line we've had though. But they do have a tremendous wealth of talent at WR.
  20. Ive never had one, ive been very lucky and careful. But Ive seen them and its gnarly. I have though seen a hand mangled to the point of fingers being gone and not re attachable. If luckys hand had gotten crushed with out the cast on like that, man, some one would be up on charges. If its cast and you are a lber, dl, etc its not much of a risk. I have no doubt lucky made the call and was 100% willing. The guy has the most heart of any speed tool player Ive seen in a very long time. That said, the medical and coaching staff have to protect guys like that. Just like a fighters corner has to throw in the towel when a guy cant and isnt protecting him self any more. It breaks my heart and makes me angry when guys have all the will to continue, but cant, and arent protected.
  21. 🤣 Also, its kind of ironic with how much trash was talked about yamasaki in BC that we now have a worse kicker. Can you Imagine if we stay the course like this, and mourtada wins a ring kicking at 40%? Westies head would explode
  22. beating a pro team 3 weeks out of 5 is insanely hard. That said, if any team is ever doing it its this bomber team. And this esks team looks broken in many ways. I wouldnt bet against the bombers this year. I think they will be angry as ever. I dont see them letting up, especially the offense.
  23. We could probably clinch a cross over spot with some combination of eastern team loses too. I cant imagine that 8 wins wouldnt clinch a spot in the east this year.
  24. To be fair, kicking below the westwood line is conversation worthy. Kicking at HALF the westwood line, is complaint worth.
  25. Look at his hand and look at the nature of the break. He couldve suffered a compound fracture, not to mention break one of the many connecting bones. Not the same kind of break though. Strevs wasnt a full fracture nor was it going to become one. Decoys still get hit on running plays, we say this exact scenario play out and lucky got barked at. Nothing removes the chance for contact in football. If reilly wouldve thrown a pick on the same side as lucky, lucky couldve been laid out with a block. Hand contacts the ground first by instinct. Look at his xray, the bone is completely broken. The only thing suporting it is soft tissue. Tell walby, or any OL that that hands heal. Or floyd mayweather, or any boxer thats suffered a boxers break. Or Angus chrichton, the rugby player who had fingers amputated because they wouldnt heal in properly, so he could continue playing. The rugby union wasnt going to allow him to continue to play with his damaged fingers. Which happened from him playing with broken fingers. Aussy rugby league, wouldnt let him play with injured fingers. If its too much for them, its too much for football.
