Around The League: 2018 Offseason
Production sure. But on a bad team and bad D playing end thats easy to expect. Also, speedster wr passed 30 vs a DE at 28. Knapton doesnt have as much wear n tear, and has been durable. You can find speedsters easier then effective pass rushers imo. Yeah thats the truth. The argos arent gonna blow the doors off the TO sports scene. But they will be stable. BMO field, and MLSE is the best thing to happen to the argos in years. Including the GC.

a week isnt a big deal then imo. If bond was gonna sign a deal right now and by pass an nfl chance, itd cost a fortune. One of the best in the league, a mammoth of a man, And in his peak. Football players are allways 1 injury away from being done. at his age hes one season ending none career ending injury from his nfl dream being over. This is his prime window. 2 more years he probably wont get a look. he cant really show any better here then he already has. Short of taking bryants blind side tackle spot any way. Id love to have him in blue for the remainder of his career. But hes gotta take care of his and get that nfl money while he can.

I like williams, he just hasnt been used well. Not to mention BCs offense was down across the board seemingly. That said they over paid for him in a huuuuuuuge way.

Now they just need to ban the IOC from being involved in the Olympics.

The TV Thread
Watched geralds game on netflix. It was pretty damn good. Not for every one though. Its tense, hard to watch at the best of times, and very claustrophobic. But soo good.

Plop is a good teacher/leader type. But thats kinda similar to kharis tool set. Imo if khari is gonna come here he needs to stomp out the nepotism. He cant come here to replace buck and do the same quality job as buck because hes khari. For him self and for the franchise/fans. Hard to say beyond that if itd be a great fit for him here. Wouldnt be a terrible one. june jones in the hammer would be a good fit too. Id love to see khari become the next great OC and ride into wpg as the next great coach. But not so much as pure fan service.

Didnt say work with plop. He did some theater here, and was pretty good.

Around The League: 2018 Offseason
That would be great as a fan. Hed be great at it too. I dont see him progressing his skill set as a coach doing that though. Hes still (imo) a guy who is very good as a positional coach. And at 46, being a very good QB coach still leaves him with plenty of time to full fill his potential. In coaching its soo huge to find the right HC to work under and learn from. A guy like marc trestman would be a great fit. Due to khari rising to prominence as a pro soo late in life, then having his drop off soo sharp and sudden I feel like hes a guy who will continue to hammer away at coaching. I dont have any special insider knowledge or any thing. But I see him as a guy who wants to stay directly involved in the game and find the lasting high level of success he only glimpsed as a player.

I think khari needs to work with an XO guy. I fully believe in his ability to play call and adjust. But I think hes stuck in that young coach rut of Identifying a system to take ownership of. Khari the coach is a lot like khari the qb. Live and die by the long ball. Which isnt really repeatable today.

Here is hoping that the young blood HWs bring the best quality of fight we have seen in the divisions history. These guys are mostly right around the peak age for HWs so next year could be the year of the HW division in the ufc. Nope, but I am a bit relieved. I had a small gnawing fear gsp would agree to be thrown to some vicious wolves. Not mma, but Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko tonight. This is the big one for me this year (boxing wise) not a lot brings me back to boxing any more. This, and maybe one day wilder vs joshua.

Thats the damned truth. And I (like all blue fans who saw that era) love coach ritchie to pieces. the 'bod was a fan favorite. Blood n guts effort guy. But I think I once saw moe elewonibi out run him. To be fair though I think a buffet line was involved. NI perhaps. Imp, I would put my money on post injuries bobby gordon. Id very much like to see this. 2 more dis 2 more nis and maybe 1 or 2 more to the inactive roster. The less air lifts the better.

CFL Schedule Change a Bad Idea
agree 100%. Its been a long time since i was much of a hockey fan. But even out side the nhl fan base the play off schedule is a head scratcher. My none fan 2cents would be to put the pedal to the metal. Have the first rounds go much faster with several games on at once. (ala march madness) And then slow it down with say the conference championships.

When do we fire Richie Hall?
You are certainly correct in that he had a lot less to work with then hall. The guy made no adjustments though. I remember seeing us missing a gap in assignment early in the first quarter, then for the whole rest of the game . (b gap on the right side iirc) Ive heard it as a backhanded compliment, but never a lefty. Though i do kind of like the lefty version lol.

Hall might be hated now, but Id say he is still better then etch was imo.

Arent they talking about moving the start time of camp/the season again this year? I feel like they have changed soo many (or few but highly impactful things) the last few years. Id like to see a little bit of refinement but nothing big. The change in start times from when I was a kid to now is pretty intense. (or so it feels any way) Reign back in the PI calls, let dbs defend. Idk if any thing else.

Not too early to start hoping for walpurgisnacht and beltane presents. Just think warm thoughts.

He was claimed at the end of last year by the riders and not a FA iirc. Those two and nichols are pretty much a lock. Though last year MBT was in the same boat and never ended up back here. But at that, 3 arms and normally you bring in 4. Maybe a 5th so the two young guys arent needed as much for work at the start of camp. Sooo youre saying there is a chance? Weve cut guys and brought em back before. But the way he went out I dont think its at all probable. Better chance of us signing khari to play qb.

Yeah he fits the system, he fits the mentality, and has the work ethic.. He clearly has the talent and ability to be a high level starter in this league as well.

He was the first step in building what we have today. He looked at the then dumpster fire, saw the changes before any one else and rolled up his sleeves to wade in. Its easy to forget that some times.

UFC
Yeah idk HW has often been a joke. Maybe the worst division over all in history. A lot of guys I would have fought for a good pastrami on rye. Ngannou i wouldnt fight short of full football gear. maybe not even then xD Volkov, blaydes, but especially lewis and ngannou have the division alive and bumping. Idk if it has ever had soo much good young blood. Cains won once since 2013 and was ranked no3.

While i dont see that happening, I could see bryan bennetts agent getting a ring from walters. Im betting thats all but signed. Hes a high up side development guy, and you dont turn down the chance to be plucked from the PR and start to bail in FA. Not to mention this team and management is all about high character players. Which he screams from that move. Ive also allowed my self to have this day dream. In it, we sign gray for christmas. He comes into camp and fills the void left by bond. Mmm good dream, and good koolaid. Demski isnt the legit no1 wr I we could desperately use. But he sure would be a fantastic pick up. If we arent gonna spend the money on a guy like that, demski and starting 2 NIs wouldnt be bad team wise.

UFC
hes been a bleepity bleep since he chin charged bisping and turned the easiest fight ever into a L. Hope GSP is ok. Also wouldnt might him fight some super fights, more old guys. I dont need to see him against woodley or a murderer at MW. This is one of the few cases that a money fight is fine with me. He has nothing to prove with his legacy. The ufc on the weekend was pretty good. Man I legit worried about some horrid news after overeem got KTFO. Notice NO ONE is chirping ngannou too The HW division has been soo maligned and close from champion to contenders for soo long any time any one put forth a big win guys would be chirping. Not now, freaking crickets. Thats a bad man right there.

When do we fire Richie Hall?
Id take tim burke back in a heart beat as a DC. Atm I think the best chance at a dcor is to find a great positional coach on the rise. As an aside If i was looking for a def positional coach, especially lb or db id give reinbold a look. Not the most popular coach from our past, and not some one id look at as a CO atm. But hes an excellent teacher and motivator.
