Jefferson needs to play about 2/3 of snaps. His impact plays don't increase if he plays more. He has more plays with his hands on his hips watching guys run by him, big negative plays, drives where the D can't get off the field. Grab one of the Global DL, grab a couple Canadian guys that can be role players. Roll with 8 DL.

You've got your games mixed up. Jeffcoat played Game 1 vs Hamilton. As did Haba. He was out June 16, 22 and Sept 16 plus the final game. You might be confused because Jeffcoat didn't record any stats so you won't see him on the CFL.CA game log. Here's the depth chart: https://static.cfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/06/HAMILTON-AT-WINNIPEG_JUNE-9-UPDATED.pdf

Free Agency Day - Non-Bombers CFL News
JuranBoldenRules replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
There's nobody anyone is worried about 1 on 1 in there. Maybe Bane. KSB has some YAC ability but is pretty limited in terms of creating space for himself. Him and Lenius are also constantly banged up. No one in there that's much of a vertical threat. -

Not too sure about O either. Harris has to make it back. Don't see a #1 receiver there. -

Riders have nice depth. And still have picks. Fry is kind of a Gray type, less raw talent, came through better system in U Sports for developing zone blockers. Hardrick is kind of an odd fit there honestly. If I'm them I'd spend that money on a receiver. Think they are looking at Hardrick as kind of a culture builder...but they are basically forced to use him even if he keeps trending toward bad. -

I mean there's tons of Americans who have come up and played right away. Hamilton has started rookie Americans in Grey Cups against us. The one guy from BYU. -
Bailey should be eminently replaceable. It kind of worked out good for him with Lawler missing almost half a season. But for the most part he didn't have a great role, and didn't often take advantage of opportunities to take a step over the years to be more than the 4th option. Kind of exciting to see some new playmakers. Notice some teams going more in that direction of guys who are kind of like Demski, even bigger and more of a tight end/H back type blocker too who can carry and catch too. Wouldn't mind a guy or two in camp like that. Like the Rutgers guy who did a lot of work as a receiver, back and returner in college.

I don't think Richmond showed a whole lot tbh. People were hopeful for continuity sake and because he went to a school most fans of football recognize. The willingness to sit and wait for YEARS by American players is always kind of a bad sign for talent and ability. Not many guys who sit and wait like that who turn out to be anything. Guys who can play, want to play whether that's somewhere else up here, in spring leagues, even arena leagues. Get a bit of that continuity with Lofton and working in this offense. He's gained more game experience and reps as a starter which is huuuge for OL in this era of minimal contact practice. Bond would be the last rookie OL they really played from the start. You'd need a guy that jumps off the page like that. He played guard though. Chungh started right away at guard too. Desjarlais was 6th guy and jumped in at guard with next injury after that which forced Speller to C in year Neufeld missed most of. -

Why would Lofton have stayed here though? He wanted to play. He went to Sask...and played. He wasn't going to sign here again to sit on PR. -

Arm is exceptional. Accuracy isn't there, pocket presence isn't there. Not a guy you mind standing on the sideline because he can win games running a normal offense. But I don't see anyone being more than .500 with him starting. -

Free Agency Day - Bombers Moves
JuranBoldenRules replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I think you need 7-8 guys who can play really. Dobson and Eli we’re hopeful for. They haven’t had a ton of reps and a ton in different situations. I’d really count them as one of five right now. Other one is your spare. Americans we’re not really sure of aside from Bryant, if he stays healthy. Injuries become the issue. Last year was pretty good on that front, but we’ve had years where starters are missing for significant period. Risk of that rises with age of course. -

I don't think you have high awareness of the roster. They've lost tons of vets, starters and special teamers. -

This is the depth chart of guys under contract with significant CFL reps. Going to be a big transition year. QB- Collaros, Streveler RB- OLIVIERA WR- Lawler SB- SB- DEMSKI SB- Schoen WR- WOLITARSKY RT- RG- NEUFELD C- KOLANKOWSKI LG- DOBSON/ELI LT- Bryant DE- Jefferson DT- LAWSON/THOMAS DT- DE- WLB- Wilson, Cole MLB- Bighill, GAUTHIER SAM- KRAMDI CB- Parker HB- Holm S- Alexander, HALLETT HB- Nichols CB- I mean they obviously don't have money to throw around. Need to get value out of any signings with the high end guys. Not going to pay high six figures for average players. -

Always had guys in the pipeline though. Have 7 guys signed right now, 3 Americans, 4 Canadians. Flipping around 2 spots, didn't have any development guys last year. Would be really lucky to get a guy out of draft who can play right away. Top 7-8 OL guys are all NFL prospects. Not always easy to plug American guys in either. Think there will be a few moves in this position group yet. -

I think Gray is one I would have kept. Draft isn't really there this year. We don't have much depth there at all and will be changing 2 spots for sure. Any injuries could quickly be a disaster. We have two starters in mid to late 30s, another early 30s as well so injury risk is there. We will need bodies. -

I honestly don't know why guys like Walker who are likely to be below average salary and don't really have a huge opportunity to ever be more than that would sign up here and not go to UFL. -

Holm is in his option year. He has a window for NFL. -

He has no window until his contract expires. BC hasn't released him. -
We 100% will. Younger if from the Toronto tree which is a lot more Cover 3, 2 high looks. Less match coverage, doubt we'll see any Cover 0, which is basically what Hall ran the enter 4th Q in the last Grey Cup. Halfbacks and SAM will be a lot more of a playmaker role than a cover role I'd bet. Safety will be more defined role, less roving.

It's funny all the hand wringing about cap space here. Look at BC and Ottawa. Total ******* mess.
