As usual, we can have it both ways. He's a jerk, he has nothing to offer that know of, but other teams will give up assets for him.

Just so much righteousness in this thread. Given the ratio issues this team has had, they should be trying harder to bring him in. I don't think they're in any position to just let him walk.

Good comments on Medlock. I think the focus should on having a good kicker, not on his passport.

Honourable mention to Santos - Knox at WIL.

A top notch DL, two DB's that for long stretches were hardly ever thrown at and an absolute stud at SAM.

All and/or any of the above is what I was referring to. Any of those scenarios have got to be better for the team than what we were seeing from the MLB position. I really hope we have Bond back next year, but if not, two Canadian receivers is still better than what transpired this past season. I also hope they're telling a guy like Trent Corney that a starting spot is available if he amps up his game.

I would to dig through some of Mr. Dee's 'in case you missed it' posts. There was definitely an article on the CFL website Actually, I don't believe you haven't seen anything referring to this.

When Westerman was healthy, they had the ability to start 7 Nationals without a National at MLB - this was the case for most of the season. Heck, they found ways to start 4 Americans on the DL in recent weeks.

It's not that - it's more the downgrade when Bond was not in there - not quite the same potential for big runs.

Awwww - there, there

I'd would go with the Halifax Acadians

Several articles, tweets, etc.

I was thinking Halifax Explosion...

Then I might start to believe that we can have nice things...

You're not completely wrong. But at the time when Nichols emerged a starter, OL also greatly improved.

I'm not sure if you can meh and agree in the same post - those are two nice things you can't have together.

I would like see a rotation of those two continue. If we could rotate 4 Canadians to fill 2 DL spots, that would enable a change at MLB and allow the current OL to stay intact.

Thomas / Ekakitie working out as a regular rotation is TBD. Fingers crossed that Westerman comes back healthy.

Fantastic. But all signs are pointing to three Canadians on the OL, which is without question a downgrade at the left guard position. Travis Bond is the best interior OL in the league.

Given that they'll probably be downgrading at left guard due to the ratio, I would try to retain Medlock. I can't see any reason why we should expect the O to score more touchdowns next year.

I unequivocally prefer - Medlock

Fair point. If scouting at that position does not improve - they may as well at least use it to help with ratio flexibility.

There is some serious talent on that D. Randle & Heath are as good as anyone, ditto the entire DL.

Rebuilds are cheaper if you do them faster - well ok then. Whoever the cuss you are - you might want to look at what happened when Kevin Glenn was qb'ing an über talented team for Calgary.

They had enough starters coming out of TC to not have to start Hurl at MLB - I have been shaking my head about that all year - it's inexplicable It was a different story after they lost Westerman, but before then there was no reason why they had to do it
