    I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you, but my counter point would be to ask if you’re paying as close attention to the pieces those other teams have lost as well

    Probably not. Maybe comparing us to other teams is foolish. But our biggest weakness was arguably the front 7 last year. I guess I was expecting us to acquire someone of note with a proven track record to help us out there. The guys we lost should have freed up some cash to do so, in theory.

    ???? Free agency opened 3 hours ago. 

    Please breakdown the new players we've signed and our draft picks. I'll wait. 

    Yeah, I know. But a bunch of the other teams were able to poach some valuable pieces during the tampering window. The guys we are losing, as much as I agree it is time to move on from most if not all of them, are not going to be easy to replace with CFL rookies.

    Had we spent time actually developing guys last year I would probably be more confident that there was a succession plan in place.

    But how many were wanting to target Schoen and BO too tho? The way I look at it we locked up the best available RB ...WR....Back-up QB and top 3 DE in WJ....Not too mention top DB in Nichols....they were all our own guys, but that says something to who we recruited, drafted, and signed as previous FA's

    All those guys mentioned could have gotten and signed for more every where else in the league....I guess you could throw Bryant in there as well...still the top..if not top 2 LT in league until proven otherwise...if we moved on from him you know every team would be calling...same with Neuf...we can't help it that most our guys that were soon to be free agents are tops in their positions...and it seems like we been idle.

    We also let some of ours walk as well who were due a price hike, but probably not worth what they were to be getting, and def not worth our time and money to match

    Sure, but replacing them with who?

    Name the positions where we have improved over last season (so far):

    - QB(?)

    - End of list?

    Tried out Kings on Sun Valley Road here in North Kildonan.    I'd say the shawarma was full of flavour and the meat was really tender and juicy.   The fries were a bit over seasoned so it's really salty.  Overall it's on the same level as Ramallah on Munroe and a good place to check out.   

    Is that the same as the Kings in Westwood? Same thoughts, if so. The shawarma was good but the fries are over seasoned.

    Having only 2 receivers who were healthy didnt help tho....plus rostering another one not 100 percent in Mcrae and not even putting him on the field, and having a healthy NOLO dressed...and seeing no use either..as we gimped around out there....oh yeah...and we had an import fullback on top of it all....good god

    Glad BO is back and will be key to our offence again....not denying that...but is that price worth it?...if it means we sacrificed elsewhere...and was that a peak season and he won't replicate it again?....and if he misses even 2023 numbers....does it become a sore point?....guess we will see

    100% it depends on what else we do. So far we are worse than last year. Let's see how we look in a couple weeks.

    I’m going to try and be self-aware with this because I know I prefer Schoen over Brady myself, but I did have a conversation with my dad the other day where he made a very good point: we’ve never played Schoenball in the 4th Q to seal a win. We’ve made a habit of playing Bradyball. That stuff does matter and I don’t think I had really considered that until he said it.

    Conversely we had Brady in the Grey Cup but.you could reaaaaallly feel the absence of a healthy Schoen.
