Woli had a crap year last year. Let's not have revisionist history here. It's why we moved on. Comparing him and Jake is fair. Difference is Drew was never a whipping boy here. Guys clamoring go get him back are living in the past.

You honestly think he has any NFL hope? I don't. He has zero teams value and is a 2x NFL early cut. IF he wants to keep playing it's the CFL or nothing this year. He can retire from football, but that is his only option for making money from now until April. I would be shocked if he isn't back here honoring his rookie contract while negotiating for an extension.

No doubt about it. Totally had to add receivers, just sad it got this far. Where does everyone get the idea we need to offer him a contract? He is already under contract should he choose to come back. He may ask for a new contract in order to come back but his only option is Winnipeg in the CFL. Not really a great bargaining position if he wants to play.

No doubt. I think we would have had to cut our NAT starter numbers in half and probably trim overall roster numbers to keep our game from scrubs being played.

I'm thinking the CFL would have had to reduce NAT starting roster spots. 32 extra spots for NAT players in the NFL would be a disaster for us. We would have likely lost 8-10 more of our best NATs a year.

Moore and Echols is the definition of scrap heaping. Not saying we don't need to do it, just unfortunate it has come to this.

Canadians don't count, this was one of the good things that Randy Ambrosie got the NFL to do to help the CFL. They originally were looking at including us. I knew this because there was a short blurp on TSN about it at the time. I don't think anyone in the media realized just how big a win that was for our league because it was a buried story and it deserved much more headlines.

By rule no players of American or Canadian citizenship qualify. Your blogger is incorrect.

All the games I've watch Yoshi this year he has looked cooked. I don't know if he's lazy now or just entirely lost his mobility but he isn't the same guy we had that's for sure.

Well, all those choices now become tough ones, and that's much better than the choices we've had lately. Good lord, we've had a choice of Corcoran or Cobb....yikes...choosing between Schoen/Wilson/Sterns is like night and day difference. Getting Mitchell and his 2 catches for 6 yards a game off the field is a no brainer so I'm not including him.

That has always been key against Harris. He gets rattled easily when hit.

I am thinking that if we do get a fully healthy Schoen and O. Wilson back that could be real game changers too.

I think 2-1 in the next 3 is very realistic. I don't think that either Saskatchewan or Hamilton are teams we cannot beat. We will have to bring our A game though.

He is not eligible for the NFL International Player Pathway. Must be outside US/Canada passport. Doesn't matter where you played college, just passport designation.

At this point I could see Elgersma easily getting but on the Packers PR.

Why keep any veteran? Because the goal is to win now. You can't just throw every veteran out the door because a new kid arrives. We don't know what Wilson can do, but the coaches do. They have deemed him to be behind that veteran and therefore the most replaceable QB on our AR.

No way we PR him imo. He comes to AR as our number 3 and Wilson goes to the PR. As a NAT QB he would be claimed off our PR in a heartbeat.

He needs current game film that may entice another team next year. He's a UDFA early cut with no value to STs..he's not in demand.

An early cut of a team with a poor receiving corps. That phone isn't going to ring from any other NFL team.

Yep.

Agreed

In all honesty through the first half he didn't really have many passing attempts and in the 2nd half they were working the underneath stuff. Defence still giving up big plays, otherwise we held them to pretty much bupkus.

Osh isn't getting fired. Walters just might though. Any receiver with an ounce of self confidence wouldn't give a fig about our roster usage. This team represents any receivers best chance at starting.

Lawler was a MASSIVE loss. It cannot be stated enough. Our offence looks completely different if he is here right now because he draws doubles all game or teams try match him up and he burns them. He is literally a game changer. Hollins was available a few weeks ago. This offseason there were a ton of good receivers available We either didn`t try for them or whiffed on them all....including our own Kenny Lawler. Our current receiving corps is just some really bad GMing, Gross incompetence almost.

Exactly right. People are criticizing MOS for doing what every football coach in the history of football does week in and week out. In order to replace veterans you have to have the players that will perform better than the veteran. Change for the sake of change is stupid.
