Shane Richards as well may be worth a roll of the fuzzy dice too on the oline as a versatile depth piece and a guy who could start if need be...I bet Costello here could get the best outtta him

Now here's a question as a flier who could be had on a very affordable deal, and if not showing former ability easily cut Malik Henry...still young at 29...was just coming into his own and should be totally healed now from the Achilles (2 yrs post surgery looked good on Hatcher) and the patellar injury isn't a career ender by any means.....is a legit returner as well. Taking a flier on him could be a huge win, on a legit big play guy, and if he looks damaged still.....you cut him...

BUT....who was chucking to him...and who was drawing up scheme?...he did put up 655 yards in a neutered offence...on 16 games...a couple of which we threw the ball what less than 15 times?...and had horrible QB play all darn yr.....I can see him getting 1000 in the Hammer And who took any of their game to next level last yr in our offence?...he was a yr 2 player....not like he been languishing around for yrs

yeah....dont understand the Clercius deal...maybe he was hurt....but he did nothing wrong to get demoted, and his work outside of catching balls cant be discounted....If we just go 2 Cdn recievers there no way Corcoran should be on roster with Demski..Clercius..Neild...Cobb....and if he is...Osh needs a good swift kick to the plums...as he does zippo on teams...cant return...and sucked ass in the role that Clercius and Woli before him did MCI as well is an ace in the hole...legit as legit can be for talent and athleticism....but wayyyyy under used...dare I say not used Maybe a good thing cause if the 3 stooges from the RIder's got looks (KSB/Lenius/Ajou) then MCI with any tape would have too...and likely stuck...Those 3 got a look cause how they "looked"...MCI looks even more the part...and his measurables blew all 3 of them right out of the water and wasnt even close Hopefully this yr Condell see's the benefits of his use.

Wheatfall no longer fit here....But he's a good signing and can see him having a solid yr there...I bet he a 1000 yard guy this yr If anyone was to critique our squad last yr on offence and who we rostered/played and how we used them and didnt know any better re: the history of our guys and team....I bet the consensus would be that save for BO and maybe Demski....the whole unit would be considered crap....as it pretty much was

we need to land Gittens...Go 3 Cdn receivers if possible....gives us way more flex ratio wise and allows us to roster impact guys on defence for rotation...and Smith and Shay should be more than adequate to be used in roles that Ayers and Woodbey took last yr...further strengthening our flexability and get useful DA's on roater...Idf they not trusted, or gonna be neglected...then WTF they doing on roster...we have seen enough of a roster with middling teamers who get zero reps and chance to produce...let alone develop...thats piss poor coaching A White...Demski...Pookie...Gittens...Neild/Clercius combo with Cobb and hopefully someone not named Corcoran as depth would not be a bad thing at all with BO lugging the rock...and use of CDN guys like Shay and Smith in roles that Ayers and Woodbey took will allow us to roster another guy like Taylor or Banks...Especially if we use Vaval at corner...freeing up his DA spot...I have zero concern/issues with him doing dual duty.....not like it's never been done before in the league

I like Walter's work this yr, and he is kinda setting the table and taking away some of the past inefficiencies...that being said, until shown different from Osh....I just cant trust yet in him doing the right thing...let alone the smartest, and you nailed it and if JSK has to take a back seat to any one of Jones and Wilson....then Osh should get and deserve all the crticism possible I think we may see a lot of variations of the 30...Ceresna can handle "some" nose but not ideal...so hopefully we unearth a body mover/consumer Cersena tho in a legit 30 would be a really nice piece on one end for reps, and if we have the legit nose will thrive in that part of his role...he did before already Gonna be interesting what JY cooks up as our kind of defensive identity/base...We seem to be piling up a glut of larger bodied LB's for this camp and how they all shake out and who/what is kept is gonna be interesting

sadly...I doubt he will.....again....and be our demise...Walter's so far has literally set him up with a no fail plan, but If there a way...I sure Osh will mess it up...TBD....And I say that as history has shown us that...over and over

In all honesty JSK is better and more versatile than Jones and Wilson at this point in careers...so this makes sense if he supplants one right off roster...and the guy he should is Jones...and allow the cdn rooks to get ..earn and maintain reps and also allow one of the intruiging guys brought in with serious upside a chance to develop...does Osh tho have the ability and moreso the acumen to see this and go with best combo based on skill..upside.. versatility?? God no...hes severely handicapped and biased in that regard

well apparently they saw some the errors of their ways....or so we were sold, so hopefully thats one of them....cause it crippled us for several yrs running If I was a betting man I'd say we break camp with ZC...Perkins and Wilson as he is the only guy with any relevant experience.....for that "just in case moment" but how they use the 2 others will be interesting. I think Perkins will be the actual backup and a guy we build some packages around to get him nicely integrated, and Wilson stays as the short yardage guy for most part

dont think Wilson tho really been giving a chance....he showe something in yr one...has poise and presence...best arm....but last yr with Dinglenuts as OC was a waste and everyone actually regressed...Make or break for Wilson tho this yr...and I actually think Perkins is gonna look impressive....so if Wilson doesnt shoot the lights out and look legit, he likely gone Elgersma is a project and really shouldn't be counted on anything but that this yr...or even next if he signs....He is a CIS trained QB who had some success in college against 85 percent of players who were glorified high school stars finishing off their football lives, and a big part of his success.....and hasnt played meaningful football going on 2 yrs now....No CIS QB is gonna be a factor early on in career...if ever. People like to push it...TSN especially and when has it happened....Just look to recent with FORD....Uber athletic, all the things you want in a pro.....Except abilty to make it work in the pros...looked good against Canadian College kids.....but in pro's a different ball game Elgersma sure has a better arm....even still tho....doesnt compute to immediate success and to expect it right outta the gate....is just asking to flop

Pointless picking any of the remaining scraps up...serves zero purpose really and we need to just go with our guys and like mentioned by other's...give whoever comes out as number 2 actual playtime during the yr when we can....and just doesnt have to be in a blow out, or an end of game pointless reps Be it Wilson...(does he step up) as he has the best arm in camp, though have yet to see Perkins up close...Or Perkins who I may think actually impresses and isnt the typical kinda first yr i the pro's guy we usually bring in....Looking forward to the battle with him and Wilson...The greek kid gives me no sense of him being anything, and likley cut, and the other nice intriguing rookies we signed are just that....future prospects and a big nothing burger for this yr Where we failed in past...and not just at QB is giving backups and guys with potential no meaningful reps ...ever....that has to change

Busted!! I will show myself out now..I got coaching to learn 😁 Yeah we would on Fridays sometimes hit the Beer Bash in the oak room at U of M back in the day...with Walby...Dave Black could pound them back too As younger players we would then bounce between Strawberries and Scandals...West and Jones loved that scene and usually Quincy Williams and Bovell made those trips...Quincy loved his whiskies...R.I.P to the big fella
