My finest hour on these forums

I hope we don’t lose Ayers, he was really coming on strong at the end of the year

Top Secret too

At least it doesn’t start with a K

It worked for a while, now we need more of a talent infusion than years past imo.

He’d be near the top of my list with Jackson

Good, let them have a retread

My first choice would be Jarious Jackson as OC. Travis Moore is another interesting name.

Who are you to doubt El Dandy?

I’d put all 3 mafioso up, along with Willie, Brady and Bryant.

Yeah I think Ford may get some NFL camp looks, but I have a feeling both he and Holm will test FA either way.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but would anyone be interested in Jarious Jackson as OC? He made a small chicken salad out of a lot of chicken **** this year. I’d like to see what he could do with our offence.

I’d hope Wilson evolves enough to be QB2. If not I’d be cool with an open competition between Fajardo/MBT and Dole Banana for the vet backup spot.

On the coaches show, he was asked why Brady didn’t see more runs. He answered that a lot of the potential running plays were Sally’s (RPO) and in that case it’s the QB’s call. I noticed this during the game, specifically when they were at the Toronto 15 after Willie’s pick. The tackle box was wide open and Wilson still pulled the ball to almost throw a pick. Brady could have walked to at least the 5.

I’ve heard it mentioned here and there, but does anyone else think our long snapping maybe had something to do with some of the goofier looking punts and missed FG’s? I know the Godly Wind winning FG actually had a bad snap that was brought back in by the holder Maybe time to move past Benson?

I’m less irritated at Grant not being re-signed than I am at the fact they didn’t give Chris Smith another shot, guy looked fast and explosive.

Idk, I hate Toronto as a franchise both now and historically, but I mean 2 Grey cup wins and a 16-1 season in the first 4 years of a HC career is pretty damn impressive.

Not an exact clone or anything, but as a modern day equivalent, he’s closer than anyone else in the league. I used the comparison because Dinwiddie can be kind of crusty towards his players when it’s needed, the same way Cal was. I see similarities between Osh and Richie as “players coach” types, letting veteran players kind of run the room. Both approaches can work at different times, but I always thought the Head Coach needs to be a bit of a **** every so often.

At this point I’d rather have a high priced MLB than a second high priced receiver at or over 30 years old. Just scour down south and find a guy like Shamar Bridges to replace either Dalton or Kenny. Though I get it’s not that simple, I’m sure it’s easier to find a 6”3 guy who can jump and catch than it is to find a rookie all-star MLB. It’s not like we run a crazy complicated route tree. We won grey cups with top-end talent on defence and the o-line, and a stud RB. The club needs to get back to that line of roster imo This paying 4 skill players on offence reeks of the early 2000s, where it was always close but just not good enough to bring home the prize.

If they can find someone beforehand absolutely, just I’d rather not see a bunch of jobbers cycled through like Ali Mourtada or whoever.

Bolded part is the key

Common denominator in the 3 GC losses is getting outplayed on the lines, both sides. The teams that beat the Bombers were built from the lines out. Past 2 offseasons we’ve been building from the skill players in, just like the early 2000s Bombers. We’re headed for a big letdown if Walters doesn’t prioritize line talent in FA. They should have enough of a quality DL rotation to make Willie a 2nd and 5+ pass rush specialist.

Gotta remember too, Willie’s a wrestling fan, and he kind of has his persona/gimmick which includes the showmanship on social media too. Remember the Hamilton tour he took? I doubt the guy wants move his family again. If he’s back they need to let him loose again though. To hell with the PKD, this ain’t basketball. Kill the quarterback.

Meh, what else is he going to say? “I’ll be back cheap guys!” I’d be really surprised if Willie signed elsewhere, if anything I could see him retiring like Jeffcoat did if he can’t get the deal he wants here.
