I'd expect to get 3-4 guys who can play this year. The OL group is probably the deepest since 2019. Talking about guys who will end up in the CFL. There's a **** load of good edge/3 technique guys for DL. Including the BYU guy who has potential to drop into a spot where he'd be a real steal based on how he's turned off the personnel guys in both leagues. There's a ton of very good DB's. There's a solid receiver group, although some guys in both receiver/DB group might get a good look in the NFL.
I kind of wonder what other teams are prioritizing. There's a chance for the Bombers in the first round, remembering BC's pick is off the board and added back to the end of the 1st round to Calgary, to grab a real impactful DL, a OL who could play this year, or a starting receiver IMO. Like if I'm Walters and our pick comes around, Ethan Jordan still on the board, don't think I could pass on him. That guy is a star.
So you feel he's the next star Canadian WR?
Interesting choice, Demski is aging and I like Clercius but he seems more solid Canadian than future superstar (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Just took a peek at the Canadian rock charts to see what the kids are listening to these days. Turns out they are listening to literally the exact same bands that I was.

That is simultaneously comforting and depressing. It likely means kids aren't listening to rock at all.
Old man moment, I know some of those bands. I'm more with it than I thought.

She hasn't been sparkles in years.... She became Robin Daggers on the day that grunge was born, at the 1996 Grey Cup half time show in Hamilton....... Everyone knows which Tim Hortons they were in that day.

Its going back to the 90s but how about a Robin Sparkles comeback show. Imagine the whole stadium singing Let's go to the Mall.

The league could do a better job of promoting guys like Brady.

Rod Rust was 77 years old when he coached here in 2005. D i c k LeBeau, one of the greatest defensive coordinators of all time coached full time in the NFL until he was 80 years old. His last position with Tennessee, he was DC & Asst HC with the Titans. Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo is 65, HC Pete Carroll with the Raiders is 74. Romeo Crennel was 73 when he was Interim HC in Houston during the 2020 season. Bill Belichek is 72 years old as HC at North Carolina. Yeah, it's rare but if a coach can still do it & do it well then I think it's great. No need to mock anyone.
So to be clear, its don't make comments about people being older but its ok to say that receivers would be catching passes with tampons?

Rita is 77, 78 in September. Then again wasn't Rod Rust 125 when he was our DC?

My knock on Dobson is he looked almost lost after his initial engagement....and in second level....correctable?...you would think...but maybe we tried with him all yr working on things and he just wasnt progressing.??..who knows
That being said Kolo was no help at all with chips an tandems....also was genrally over matched 90% of time so that may have been part of it too as him not being able to get to second assignment and it hamperd our guards...has for several yrs now and a change there with even just an average center would fix so many things that seem like issues on the oline
BUT.......Osh just loves Kolo and it's mainly his fascination with guys...especially Canadian ones who are under dogs....lack top tier talent...and any kind of upside but try hard and are for whatever reason ticke his fancy....and it hurts us...all through his tenure here we have rostered 1..2 guys who have no business being starters...let alone even in the mix for anything....and again this yr...barring seson ending injury my guess is we are gonna have to deal with 2..maybe 3 guys again who aren't the best option....but are Osh's option
Kolo, Jake and whose the third starter you hint at?

So, say Wallace has a great year & then his contract ends. He wants more $$$ like other teams are offering him. Walters lets him walk saying it's not in the budget. That they have a salary grid for each position & he wants too much. Therefore, Wallace's expendable, interchangeable & suddenly it's the same old song & dance. We end up drafting for other teams.
Rookies sign 3 year deals.

Watched Sportsnet Central this morning and the Jets game was the 3rd highlight package they showed. I guess a Canadian team being 1st in the league, playing the 3rd place team, doesn’t qualify as a marquee matchup? What the hell is their criteria?
1. Leafs Game
2. Leafs Practice
3. A Toronto Maple Leaf took a dump
4. McDavid
5. Rest of Canada

I mean he is a huge impact, not a good one for us but huge none the less. The usual cfl.ca quality lol. I think they got to 3 and couldn’t figure it out so they went with the old guy.
I think Cjob types would go Brady Demski kramdi.
Personally I’d go with 3 key Canadians to watch this year: Gabe Wallace, who has a big chance to fill a spot we badly need filled. With likely only imp competition.
Then cam Lawson. We need that nose, we need a guy to take most of Jake’s reps. He was tremendous here before his injury.
Finally big Kev. Demski isn’t getting any younger, woli is gone he’s penciled in as a starter. But he flashed a lot more than just blocking next year. I loved woli but I don’t think we will miss a beat. He could be the next big wr break we land.You're hired. I'll inform cfl.ca

Said it before curious how we'd go only 2 Canadian OL which would mean starting 5 on offense and 3 on defense. Defense the one linebacker spot makes sense with Kramdi, in theory you get a second spot at DT with Lawson and Jake but the third is then what S with Kelly? Not a complaint mind you but a curiosity point right now.
