Yeah I wouldn’t want to jump ship on collaros till we have the next guy lined up and signed. Kelly is a solid tackler, he had one big hit this year but I don’t think he’s a hitter. If we flip the ratio at S we wouldn’t need another ni dt. We’d take an imp off for an ni which could allow us to throw in an imp db for Kelly some times. Though I think Hubert helps. I’d also keep both back up ni dts in camp for next year. Wouldn’t hurt to draft another but that’s pretty solid depth. I think we will pay ford well and I think he will want to stay in JYs system. Teams may come for him, but it took time to get used to the system I don’t think he’d want to risk how other teams play.

Thanks. Is that before the renegotiation of his deal? Idk how that might’ve shifted his numbers around if not. But it’s a lot better than 600k with 350-450k guaranteed that I thought he had. We could find that for 6 bucks or 3 Burger King coupons.

You know his finger looked way worse than just cut. In middle school I actually tore a bunch of skin on the side my index finger playing flag football. (Old rusty buckle bit me when diving for a flag) and as it happened I was playing qb. It’s a mess for sure to throw like that. But zachs finger didn’t look like it was just tore up. It looked badly busted. That clear pain he was in when throwing didn’t look like stitches under a glove. It looked like serious pain. I bet he broke the crap outta that finger. I love the heart to keep trying and to try deep with that. But damn some ones gotta save players from them self. Qft. I would’ve put in the dole, just because of experience. He’s been here long enough to understand the weeks install. But Wilson looked surprisingly competent.

Sink cost fallacy is a good way to look at it. I thought zach has more than 250 guaranteed? It’s a grey cup hosting year after the last 3, salary cap be damned. If ever there was a time to open the vault and take punishment at the end of the year this is it. Probably still won’t be as bad as what bc did this year any way. Idk if he’s matured a lot or not. He has done and said all the right things since he went to bc. Might be real might not. He’s talented, but he’s not the fit I’d want game wise.

A chance? Yes. Do we have a way to control our destiny and take that game? I don’t think so. D did what it had to. I think they’ll be even better next year.

Agree with most of that. I’d keep Lofton, especially if Bryant retires. If not, unless we get a premiere tackle I bring him back and have him actually fight for the spot. He did improve, and he’d be better at guard. I’d bring schmekel back for camp depth and try to flip him to be more of a versatile big. If we could go to 6ol, and use schmekel as the 7th blocker, a teams guys, and a back up dl that’d be great. Especially with carrying mci, feltmate, woli and big kev. Feltmate is excellent on teams and a tough body to account for in heavy sets. So is mci and honestly big kev. But bringing 7 ol 2 fbs and a big wr is a lot of roster usage for not a lot of reusable depth.

I would for Alexander.

The best they can hope for is us losing lol.

Might be right. Might also be pr numbers issue. I think we were at the limit. Personally I’d bet on him being back. Didn’t Schemekel end on the pr last year? Idr.

I think it’s just because he hit the wall hard. I fully expect him to be brought back for next year. Iirc the rookie drafted contract holds up if ending on the pr. They aren’t auto released like vets and imps. Might be wrong, but even in that case I think they bring him back. Agree, I think Kase is shifty and could be dangerous but he looked real raw. Bridges improved a bunch over his looks. I definitely think he’s a project guy for us. Which we’ve done fairly well with in the past.

Yep. If any thing the offense has devolved. As has the challenge usage. Teams got better just from some tweaks to cover type this year. But we don’t do any thing special or great. For the Dl, if we flip ratio else where and use Lawson in a rotation with mostly Americans I think it’ll work. But at that point we need better range from lbers. Jones is good in the tackle box vs the run but not in coverage. I would prefer to go out and get an elite pass rusher in free agency to play opposite wj, and return to a 40 front with the 30 being a situational thing. It’s a great package but shouldn’t be our base.

Not grabbing sheed was a big mistake. Along with the whole de fiasco, Jake the fat man, kr, and the lack of tackles. I hope, Walter’s n co learns from all that. Funny thing is, most used to bring a lot more creativity to schemes. Winning has made him ultra conservative.

Not every one will be ready for this and that’s understandable. But we will definitely need a shot of positivity around here this off season. With that in mind here are some things I look forward to with the bombers in a positive light only. Terry Wilson. I was extremely impressed by how poised and in control he was when he came in. Stepped up in the pocket, kept his eyes down field when pressured and threw with authority. He has Great arm talent, and athleticism. But the mental side of him looks legit too. I look forward to seeing him progress next year. another Canadian draft. We really cleaned up in this last draft, which was a strong draft to be fair. So I don’t expect us to replicate that success, but adding another piece or two to the AR will be huge for our NI depth. On that note, our rookie Canadians did better than I expected this year. I can’t wait to see big kev with another tc under his belt, think Wallace will be poised to take a starting spot next year, mci came a very long way as a blocker too. I hope to see a good chunk of pre season reps for mci to play rb so we can see what he has and let him develop. He went from a guy out of place on an AR to a solid FB in one season and that’s pretty good. Kelly, I think he has a sneaky good chance of becoming our starting S next year. Imagine 3 starting Canadian dbs? Never thought I’d see that on a good team. tyjuan garbutt really turned a corner late. He isn’t the instant dominant pass rusher we need, but he’s a damn good two way end who plays with discipline. Imo he’d be excellent as a di rotational back up next year. Ayers and Cole. I’d love to see more of Ayers at mac and Cole at wil. Both guys are monsters on teams just scratching at their potential but are still a lot of fun to watch. Devin adams. Such an incredible athlete and raw talent. Gonna be awesome to watch him in his first full camp. Woods. Our best dl for my money all year. Guys a beast who can play a bunch of inside positions and some edge especially in the 30 front. Only 25 years old and the sky is the limit. can lawson and schoen the return. Nuff said. Love what both these guys bring. Owen Hubert. Really over achieved early. Hit the rookie wall hard. But showed a ton of lunch box type stuff that could make him a very valuable rotational piece next year. The majority of the secondary as well. Holm and Kramdi stepped up big, griffin and bonds were excellent Nichols was my modp for us and ford legit would’ve been moc in the league most years. How do you improve on that? Well Nichols is the only guy at 30. So another year could bring improvement for each of those guys. JY. Through some early struggles he really turned a rag tag group of guys into an elite pass defence. I can’t imagine what more he has in store with a year of growth and prep.

Yep. The real strength of the wr core last year was the balance. Demski and lawler didn’t need to be no 1 with schoen healthy. Plus having sheed and woli to fall back on was a huge comfort. Demski and lawler could miss if not healthy or if they had a tough game it was fine. But with the 2 safety measures gone and the true no1 out as well we see lawler is best as robin on a contender. Demski will be back and be fine I’m sure. So long as schoen and the no1 slot is sorted.

It’s as much the fact that he has long been prone to making bone headed mistakes, drops and fumbles especially at bad times. Yeah he was banged up bad and shouldn’t have kept playing. Our coaches should’ve had a back up for him. He will be back and we will love him next year as soon as he busts a big one. Wilson came in and looked like he had a laser rocket launcher for an arm after zachs tosses. Hes got a good arm and excellent arm talent. But it isn’t that big. Grainger had a bigger arm. I think zach deteriorated that much. I don’t think he’s been 100% at any point this year. But I also don’t know if he ever would be again. And mentally, I think he’s in that broken Roughrider/ticat end era mode.

🤢 I have to think Lawson takes a lot of snaps next year. Garbutt Lawson woods wj would look really good.

The last 4 runs were garbage time the first 9 was the game with in a few points both ways. Brady had two short runs rest were putting us in 2nd and short. I think we could’ve run almost any other game plan and done better tbh. Play action screen to Brady, pin and pull, name it.

If you can run 9 times for 10 yards a pop, you can run 20 times in the game. I don’t think fixing the ol will be easy. I’d start by flipping an imp at G though.

Limited turn overs, could manage a clock, was actually better in the final 3 minutes of games and had progressions in his systems. Damn sad day when lapo looks like an upgrade in retrospect. Time for change.

Die-nasty. That’s what my old Chrysler in high school was called. Doesn’t matter though. Conversations over. 2021 is a long time ago. We aren’t those guys anymore more.

I think buck has regressed to be worse than lapo. And I was the captain of the plop train.

That’s a good point actually. Marty could go.

Yeah. Tons of talent. Love the poise and mental toughness. Maybe more balls than brains but in a dunigan way. Should be fun to watch him develop.

Really really poorly. Reminded me of how we used to beat up on bc WRs. I don’t think any of our coaches will get job upgrades elsewhere

Agree. Honestly, we might be able to spend lawlers money better too. Discount or move on.
