Lawler is taking a pay cut even if he puts up 2000 yards this year 
that window for 300k receivers is closed

901 in 12 games. It was good, I just know he has another gear. It gets tricky because him, Schoen and Demski are three of the four highest paid receivers in the CFL. Depending on how this season goes there’s going to have to be some tough conversations of where to allocate the money.

He’s going to have to. He’s making shy of 300 k, second highest paid receiver in the league.. I understand it was a tough start for him because of the suspension but he’s going to have to be a little bit better this year than he was last year. Not to say he was bad but when you’re paid top dollar you have to be one of the top players. I think he’s going to have a huge season this year btw 

The club bringing in another DT especially gives me hope that they are leaning towards going 2 American DTs.

Speaking of which, got my ticket for the home opener, so psyched to see the Bombers take out their rage for losing last year out on CoFaj and pound the Als into the ground....

Pretty lofty attendance goal, but hey, shoot for the stars

No you launched into your tired old tirade when evidence points to this situation not being the same. I agree there's too much loyalty to some aging vets... but I don't think it's a problem on offense really (other than my personal belief that Eli should be a starter somewhere). I know you loved BOLO,  but nit like demski or wolitarksy are a problem. He just got caught in a deep spot.
You have gone off the deep end on this issue I am sorry to say. Even I'm tired of it and I agree there are some issues, but you're building thus up to be too much.

Oh for Christ's sake..  the last time there was an open spot at receiver we wound up with Dalton schoen... I think they've earned a little bit of trust on this particular issue.

Me too. I’ve always hated the Riders but always respected who Weston was as a player and as a person. A real heart and soul guy. I know he wasn’t completely in his prime here in Winnipeg but he still had some productive years here and helped change our culture around to the winning culture it is today.

I loved dressler. As a rider I liked him as much as I could any rider player especially one who used to kill us. He was like buck pierce at wr but with a stronger surrounding cast. From a league stand point he should go in as a rider. If he chose us, I’d be thrilled he was a great player and great person. 

as much as I still dont think Schmeck amounts to much (hope I wrong) I would rather he gets rostered, and just spells guys off as well from an all Import Dline starting group....He at least can move around well, pursue and move laterally to try and impede a play...Thomas can't....and tired of watching him backside of a play lolly gaging and jogging up to the pile...if the play isnt funnelled right to him...he basically has zero impact...
 

Jake Thomas was a solid rotational player for us for many years, the issue is there’s a difference between a 28 year old Jake Thomas playing on a  heavy rotational DL line up in 2019 and a 32 year old Jake Thomas starting almost every game for us. With Cam Lawsons injury I’m hoping that doesn’t mean status quo this year I would still go with an all American DL and If that means Jake Thomas rotates in, that’s something I could live with, but I would be extremely disappointed if he plays as often as he did in 2023..

I know it’s frustrating but to those who are complaining, no one is stoping you from going down to training camp yourself, especially if it’s on a Saturday or Sunday, you can see all the position battles you want, and god forbid even bring that info back to MBB. I get it we live in a era where we want our information spoon fed to us and I get frustrated with the fact that it’s hard to get info but then I remember if I wanted to know bad enough I’d be there myself..

You get Holliday time? You get time off? No one to blame but yourself. If you wanted to do it bad enough you would. But you spend your time complaining about it on here instead.
