    I agree he played badly, but that is mostly because of his own physical limitations. From all accounts through the years he was a very smart player that had physical limits. I think he might be a very good coach.

    I think that BO's problem was the play calling of Hogan, not with the man himself. Pros can make the differentiation.

    Could be because Hogan was a very good RB coach for us before.

    Or having the best RB in the league made him look better than he actually is?  He certainly didn't use BO the way you would think a great RB coach might.  I'm less concerned about that move though - he's at least experienced in the role.  Hiring one of our problem players to coach (imo) our biggest weakness does not inspire confidence in me.

    sure didnt show it anytime in his career tho....what's he gonna teach any vet DL guy...or nw guy...absolutely nothing really....

    just shows they still cant/wont make the real tough decisions....

    No consequences for failure/mediocrity.  What's Jake going to teach them - how to now get their uniform dirty? 

    I wonder if the Hogan move might have been because of the salary cap? If he had a 2 year deal, they'd either have to eat his salary and still pay a replacement coach or they keep him but move him to a different job.

    Heard his name for a long time, disnt follow him much, whats the break down of his offenses?

    His run with Ottawa was underwhelming but they are a perennial tire fire so not sure how much that falls on him

    In 2025, Ottawa finished sixth in net offence, eighth in offensive points, and ninth in yards per play but was 2nd in offensive time of possession.  Long way to say his offense had plenty of opportunity but produced very little.

    He does have history with Zach so maybe he can bring some old ZC out.

    When I saw Koala on one of the latest Handled Internally pods, I wondered if that was "telling"....

    Guess they haven't had "the talk" yet.

    Meh. Just means they all live here  year round. 

    Not necessarily - you can do community work and not live somewhere full-time.  Kolankowski was nominated for the Jake Gaudaur award last year partly because of the work he does in Ontario (running football camps in Oshawa).

    It surprises me actually that RBs are undervalued compared to receivers, who get far fewer touches in a game.

    i don’t like that the BB are paying such a premium for Brady over all other RBs but I’m more comfortable giving 300 k to a guy who can run block and pass at a high level than to a receiver.

    I'm not - it's a numbers game.  There are so many RB's coming out of college or other leagues but so few spots so if someone wants too much, teams can move on fairly easy.  Brady has a lot of value to the club off the field which is why he can ask/get that kind of money and why they should be using a ton marketing money on him.

    Would you take Mills or Butler over a guy like Hatcher for similar money?

    How many have won MOP award?

    There's no debate from me that Brady isn't the top RB in the league - I just don't think he's so much farther ahead than the rest that he should be paid double.  If he's getting a good chunk paid as marketing money then I think the contract is fair value.  We don't have that info yet so we don't really know how good (or bad) of a deal it is,

    Tyson might touch the ball 5 - 8 times per game.... Brady is touching the ball 20-30 times.... much more value in a RB then a WR.  

    Brady might occasionally crack 20 touches but his career average is far less than 20-30 a game.

    2021 - 7 carries & 0.6 receptions

    2022 - 11.2 carries & 1.3 receptions

    2023 - 14.4 carries & 2.1 receptions

    2024 - 14 carries & 3.5 receptions  

    2025 - 13.4 carries & 4.0 receptions

    Also if RB's are so valuable - why is he the only one making that kind of coin?  There are other RB's who put up similar production but make a fraction of what Brady does.

    It makes all the sense in the world for him to try and get a shot for as long as he can and I certainly wouldn't fault him.

    Having said that, it's interesting that they seemingly told Walters that if it doesn't pan out this NFL season, that they'll be in camp come May. 

    Unless they told Walters something different, his agent didn't specify a timeline when he commented on it a month ago.  Weinrauch said he'd be happy to sign here if/when all NFL opportunities are exhausted.

    It was was Walters who said they probably won't know until after Feb 1st when NFL futures contracts are signed.  That might be something they discussed privately though.

    All this hate being heaped on Walters... does anyone else think that he may have been a victim of our less than stellar talent scouts? I mean we lost two maybe three impactful talent scouts since 2019. I feel that may be part of the reason for our lack of talent across the board.

    Don't get me wrong- KW does deserve a good portion o the blame.

    I think that our new scouting staff is off to a decent start as they have found a few keepers already.  You're only going to have so many rookies making an impact (especially with this HC) and they brought in Vavel, Woodbey & Allen this year.  If Perkins amounts to anything up here, you can credit Sunderland for that since he's been after him since at least 2019.   That said - DB & LB was not our biggest weak spot going so if, during this off-season, they want to focus on getting some stud DL's signed, that'd be much appreciated!
