But they do like to be paid $35 000 right before they're cut.

Bond is easily the best guard in the CFL.

He’s probably on the phone to Andy Mulumba

By now they should be...

When they had Neufeld starting in place of Bond, it was 3 OL, Harris, NI receiver, Hurl, Loffler IIRC Hurl was not on the field when Ekakitie or Thomas were, but the DL was all - American for a good chunk of most games

That does not compute. They went all American on the DL, and Hurl was still getting significant reps at MLB.

Oh - you have to be part of the locker room to know something about football. Nope, having played the game and coached the game means nothing, you have to be in the locker room right now to know anything. Ok cool, I guess that’s just your 0.02.

It was also the emergence of Poop on the DL. Starting Hurl allowed another American up front.

Great points. Konar would be good depth as well as ratio flexibility. Our best Canadian (Harris) got a lot of wear & tear last year. They need to have options in the event he needs a few games off.

The goal posts got narrowed to 2017 - 2018, so I figured what the heck, let’s go for an all out expansion.

There's mourning at morning big blue

It's time to reign this thing in.

Using only a one or two year sample is an odd way of looking at it. Every single CFL QB spent time developing on a team somewhere, if they didn't the league wouldn't have any. Toronto, Saskatchewan, Edmonton, Calgary and BC. Each of those teams has brought at least one QB in to the CFL in the past 5 to 10 years - who is now a starter somewhere. If you think that doesn't matter, that's okay with me, by the way.

behave

Bowman, Adams, Dressler, Harris, Flanders. And if any of those 5 are injured that’s still a bloody good receiving corps.

Calgary, Saskatchewan, Edmonton Mitchell, Durant, Ray

My derivative skills are pretty rusty. But if the answer is not 55, get out

Thorpe was a scouting product? A. Scouting. Product. A receiver procured by scouting...

I guess I just can’t forget the Mack era, where we kept rationalizing the lack of free agent signings with ‘well they are scouting down south, we’ll have good players in camp.’ The truth is you have to do both. If Walters needs free agency to find quality receivers but uses the scouting pipeline to unearth players like Jackson Jeffcoat, Poop Johnson, and Manase Foketi, then I say so be it.

Such as OL, DL, LB and some promising young DBs.

The receivers that Ottawa won a GC with were an excellent corps. Recruitment need not be the be all & end all.

(31 + 8 + 23) ^0 + (18 * 3)

A D can apply more pressure when a QB has subpar receiver talent to throw to - you know it.

Weed, toilet paper, & automatic weapons - metaphor fun on MBB.

Well, part of the problem with previous OLs was the lack of receivers who could stretch the field. Teams could keep more defenders in the box when they played the Bombers.
