The comment was in response to the talk of DEs and how we dont need another. Yeah Mccallister left then came back and stayed on it then resigned and i believe is currently under contract with us. But you never know and thats true of all fringe american players. With richardson and jake I dont think we need another veteran DT. Not to mention our ability to turn up DTs the past several years has been insane. We had 4 really strong DTs vying for the 2 jobs last TC. And I honestly dont think you couldve made a bad choice between that group. I fully believe that will continue as it has along the entire DL. I firmly believe that Mc'c wouldve started for atleast half the league last season. We also dont use our DTs like most teams do. We arent a big pressure package team, or a proficient blitzing team. Most of the sacks that have come from our interior line under the Hall era have been the OL blowing assignments, or our tackles just monstering some one. They play a lot of gap cancellation, they run twists to occupy lanes or eat up blockers to free up our ends. I dont think a guy who is used to getting to pass rush out of the inside position a lot, or play straight up will want to come into play a nose role a good portion of the time. Along with finding tremendous athletes with great work ethic inside, the role position is easier to fill then finding a guy who is consistently a pass rush force from the inside. If we are gonna get an established league vet at a position this year Id think qb, wr or lber would be the spot to do it. Though I dont see us getting a veteran qb.

I feel like the dog was heavily inflated in his height but yeah good chunk.

I expect that jake will be pretty locked in at one DT spot. I feel like hes got atleast 5 inches on haywood. But the way he started every snap may have shrunk him in my memory. + alex mccallister is a beast in waiting. Not to mention what if Kongbo comes back? That guy could be a system changer on a long term deal. Dl is the least of the bombers concern. Both lines are stacked deep with young talent and vet starters.

I dont see any need or fit for him here.

I dont see any WRs running to get into that offensive scheme

Could be, I have no freakin clue its hard to keep track of that stuff in this double off season. 😆 I feel like you can start a countdown to lapolice being back at tsn, or being an OC already. They dont have our Ol or a top tier one, nor do they have a top tier RB. Giving up on the young high upside qb for the old injured down side of his career guy is nuts. Maybe plop doesnt feel he will get enough leash to develop a young qb but dang it seems like the RBs are about to waste a season. Can any one expect nichols to drop back to pass 50 times a game at this point?

I would love for the bombers to jump on arbuckle. but if the argos get him i wonder if that means they let mbt walk. He might be a good cheap alternative for us at back up.

Would love the bombers to pick up arbuckle.

They have made some decent moves, but doesnt matter with the OL. not to mention the roaring crowd of 8 people and sky high living expenses. Idk TO still looks like the worst destination in the league to me. thats a freakin huuuge bonus wow.

Idk why arbuckle or any one else would want to go to TO. Nichols to ott makes a lot of sense.

True but it goes to show especially with a good front office, depth picks are as important as mid and high picks. This trade isnt likely to net us any real value but its this or nothing.

And thats why its the canadian mafia. walters turned nothing into some thing. I kinda feel like TO should give us a pick any way. We gave up our top pick in last years draft for resigning collaros for a season that didnt happen.

I also dont see any way evans improves on his performance last year. Its impossible to out perform his rookie year, the weight he will have to do that though and what happened in the GC game will make it a tough season for him imo.

Cant blame a guy for moving closer to his family. It is sad/funny that we've lost two good starting young NI Cs in the past few years to go back home, though the one to retirement. Some thing had to give eventually with such an embarrassment of riches at NI ol. Eli is a ridiculous stud at C ni or not. The trade moving up 4 slots in the 6th round is beyond strange but what ever value is value i guess.

I cant think of a coach who has been worse for the league, or is more the opposite of a winner.

its the default that if a CO is offered a HC job or a promotion that you let them take the interview/job. but it is getting late for that.

Big hole for EE to fill. Wonder if they will go after a CO from another team, dig up a skeleton from CFL days gone by, or if they will try to start with a fresh hc. Could be a good fit for June Jones, for in league guys I think bobby dyce deserves a shot at HCing again. Maybe tommy condell?

i saw a large portion of his college career.

Thats a tough choice. I always liked fajardo before he was a rider and thought he could be good. I liked vaj too. I dont think Fajardo is adapting quick enough for the pro game. And im not sure he's had the right Co to develop further, rather then just cover up for his weaknesses. I think Vaj has a better chance to be developed with khari as hc. But I think as we saw from him in his game against us his head/temper will be his un doing kinda like jason maas as a coach. I actually think MBT in toronto will have more success then any of those 3.

Grays advantage is he could play either tackle spot though, which is harder to find especially in a canadian. Eli is a real stud though too. Those two and speller would start on more teams in the league then not this year. Burnham is a beast and well worth a good pay day.

Im pretty confident that gray will be ready and end up being an anchor on our line.

The pro bowl position is going to be renamed fair catch guy, then itll be replaced with side line ball boys.

I think you should probably draft an NI ol every single year. Doesnt mean he has to be a guy whose a high pick though. Due to the glutt of ol talent we've let go some pretty good developmental OL guys in the previous few years. I think that continues, but I dont think a high pick OL is likely at all.

Yeah but he may hope for the next TC. Im not sure on when that starts vs when our season starts right now. Hes really dangerous but im not sure hes what nfl teams want in a return man. And maybe its the likely situation that when harris retires we go to a RB who can run but isnt the total package that harris is. But in a fringe NI rb, I expect to see good blocking. All that said, I would be thrilled if we got chuba hubbard in the draft and down the road he was the next feature back for us. But I really think hes gonna be in the nfl for a good while if not his career. He really did, too bad he got hurt when he did.

I can see grant getting a decent nfl look, idk about whitehead. I think he's a year away from getting a serious nfl offer. I dont think any one is getting big money right now. I feel like the ability to turn up DL talent is extremely high for our front office. Id be happy to have any of the tackles weve had over the past 2 ish years.
