Agree. You can add all the fluff you want after that, but if they dont have a chance of making the top 3 they only serve to split votes for the last spot.

havent seen the 2econd group signing, but desjarlais, and Richards. I think hallett signed Already. See the second group now. Dont see richards, desjarlais or kongbo.

I could see that being the reason why the other jones left. Didnt consider that point. Football ops should have a salary cap imo. And it should be tied to revenue as should the players cap. Yeah its gotta be really hard to try and fill a role like that this late. Not to mention if you want to poach another teams coach for a promotion (Ie if they wanted buck to be their OC) then both teams are in a tough spot.

If only. I feel like its not that high. More like 70% range. But it is worlds better then the era with no challenge. I also think many decisions come up that are really tough calls. A lot of grey area and judgement involved.

🤣 This seems crazy to me. Jones was just coming into his own as a coach in the cfl, took a step back to open up a job for steinhauer, now he leaves to the XFL? Are they going to play a game before the cfl season ends? Mind blowing to me. I wonder if the league should have punitive measures in contracts for coaches that do this stuff. I feel like if you quit on your team after the draft/FA you've caused them to harm by not leaving in the normal offseason window. This is what the 3rd time weve seen this this off season?

Hopefully, it'll be fairly short-lived like in the comics. It seems like he wears nearly every suit ever seen in the comics in just this one movie though. I feel like they are trying to speed through the Spiderman stories we've already seen. Which I appreciate. Fingers crossed thatll itll be good.

I really hate the dumbing down they've done to Tyrion. Danny is soo unrelatable now too. Can't even see her side, and it's like they aren't trying. This second to the last episode also felt like it could have been half an hour without losing anything of substance.

Not if you bring them in cheap / on an incentive-laden deal. In the cfl no one is a contractual liability with none guaranteed deals for most of the year and most of the players. If we brought in one low risk high reward vet like toliver, or chris williams or sinkfield thatd be perfect. Though I dont really expect it at this point.

Handsofstoneman. Iirc wasn't Cloman a PR pickup from someone? We had some real stinkers at WR for a good while.

Id take a gamble on him if it was a cheap contract. Low risk high reward vets are great to have in camp.

I think gray is taking a job this year. Desjarlais and eli are great picks. The OL is gonna be a WAR in tc. I cant wait to watch it.

I could see foketi inside, with nuefeld and couture getting pretty rough actually. But I really dont think thatll be the case.

haha soo true. It was an era prone to guys getting yanked fast. If you really wanna develop and evaluate a young QB, you gotta give him a bunch of starts in a row. Its very very seldom an instant click. Ricky ray didn't finish games for a long time (splitting with maas) AC was a fringe player for years, Khari took some bumps and time to fully be ready etc. Even damon allen was an average at best passer for a long time. I never like it when QBs get tossed too quick. As long as its someone worth committing to.

Yeah and IMP db seems to be a plentiful position to recruit from currently, plus one the franchise seems to excel at.

I hasn't been the best or arguably so since bonds departure. It was good, but not great. Ols arent always the sum of their parts. They can be far more, or far less. It has the potential to be very good after the kinks are worked out and we re-establish a core of guys. Until then it has the potential to be bad. Wont know how its shaping up till camp.

No doubt. Frank broyles award for top asst coach in the ncaa, had a great gig at USC for a while now hes back with the vols. His coaching career is waaay better then his pro career ever was.

Also the OL. A lot of roll over there. We have the talent in place to fill the gaps but how they mesh and work together plus how long that takes is a question. S is a bit of a question, as is WIL.

Both would be good pick ups as well. Id really like it to be one of the LBers. Any of those guys next to bighill would flourish like crazy.

Fantastic move. 29, doesnt have high mileage but has come up big when given the chance. Gives us a different look with his size and strength. Id assume that with the time lapse since FA opened and lack of buzz before that he didnt sign a crazy expensive deal. Love love love this fit. I agree. I would love to see singleton here. Thurman or Eguavon would be good too. Imagine if we got duke too though? 🤤

Yup. Taman negotiated the dispersal draft expertly. Got soo many pieces.

Geez, that's insane. Training, and learning to play football without equipment on is like trying to learn how to swim on dry land. I feel like less equipment and a heavy focus on proper head protection/hawk tackling would go a long way.(though some teams practice that without pads on)

The best returner pick up weve made in a long long time. The guy got a real raw deal in the NFL. The local police put out a warrant for his arrest over allegedly stealing 25$ worth of groceries. He was cut instantly. The next day it turned out it wasnt him, charges dropped and he wasnt even in the area. He has a ton of potential as an Xfactor type player doing some of the demski package stuff too.

On a play here n there he did show flashes. But overall, he was putrid. I've never seen a QB throw the ball away soo many times on second down without checking down. Truth. Ol wasnt fantastic either. Long hard days as a bomber fan back then.

The average athleticism has improved by leaps and bounds. I feel that the outliers, the real freaks are pretty close though. A big difference too is the preparation that football players put into combines now. Guys were field fast back in the day and not on the track because they didnt run track. (say jerry rice 4.7 40) I feel too that a lot more of the well-rounded athletes lack the football polish that guys had back in the day. More time on the track and in the weight room and less in pads on the field.

Ac was the class of the league at qb for years. He was a product of a better system then maas no doubt. That 2000s form AC was head and shoulders better then the careers of the other 2000s qbs imo. Ray was a great qb, one of the best in the 2ks era. Id take peak ray over every qb we had in that timeline. Ray was great, not AC great but great. I think AC, moon and flutie are all head and shoulders better then the next tier. Id a been happy to get soli or manny. Not on huge deals though. Theyd be great bargain bin guys. But to hang the success of your season on soo many old guys coming off injuries and bad years with a new HC to boot... "With the first overall pick in the 2020 cfl draft, the crieders select..."
