  1. circle of life....I can see him getting injured there this yr....and early on....not that I wish that on him by any means....just see it happening there
  2. thats what a lot of his draft review was....gets there and does damage....like a young Yosh...but faster
  3. realization that rostering him this yr....with transition would be stupid as he has no upside, and offered no value...I am sure the 2023 review look back also was glaring and a big ooops
  4. Yeah I think Neuf and his solid presence at guard will help out whomever takes over at tackle You don't want in essence 2 changes on the line to cover 1 spot
  5. Yeah...I don't want a Hallett long-term at safety either...kramdi at SAM over Hallett to me is like picking the tallest little person...we really don't even need to go Canadian at sam anyway...I would like to just declare 1 national on defence and use it on the Line...with Lawson ..as the main guy...but that's what makes Kongbo a key add...or another producing Canadian....via draft...FA or trade...we got 10 picks...maybe get a guy like how we landed Lawson. And we could rotate a Ford or Kramdi in at times to go 2 import DT's as well as times or a cheetah package with 3 de's and Kongbo Another thing to really allow some defensive flex is tag Biggie as your Nationalized Player and actually use him as such 29 times a game and roll all Import....Walters and Miller should tell Osh to.suck it up..out aside his dislike of the rule and use it to make us better I think it is more of reviewing the season and where things went wrong..and where we could have been better it stuck out like a sore thumb...or was a decision that came from above Osh... It truly was one of the more pointless and basically stupid decisions I have seen in all my yrs of football...that is a coach killer maneuver but Osh was shielded by past success and all the accolades heaped on him...at least this yr now we know....well I hope we can know that outside of Castillo the rest of the DA's will have a useful purpose
  6. Walters says every yr he has no money..then out of blue someone is signed...I think it's moreso he's referring to about big name/ticket guys...and deservedly so as right now we have our fair share ..and ones who are at the top of their position in the league. So depth/role guys will come from scouting and the draft...which shouldn't be too hard with basically the same scouting and management group being together now for 10 years...and knowing some of the network we will be fine. The key is this yrs draft, and the amount of picks we obtained...and focusing on positional players who have pro potential...not just teams...you can teach teams easily and any new young guy will ball out on them...we failed in this last 5..yrs and it's almost biting our ass You have to remember last 4 yrs we haven't really had to unearth anyone as we were set...it's not like we didn't have the network to do so..we have had to basically continuously find dbs and have done very well with that. I been going over roster and there are some guys who will surprise...I actually like the group of Fox..Randall..Woods and now this Waggoner...and we have a collection of edge guys to push Haba who technically is now the incumbent. Seems like some scrambling... definitely some questions will need to be answered and a guy or 2 needs to step out of the masses...but I not to concerned
  7. yeah....picked the wrong guy....unless it was a money crunch thing....but Kolo at best should be 6th guy on depth chart....and he is a horrible 6th guy as any injury prob means a right oline shuffle in game
  8. yeah..I been pining for Cole for better part of 2 yrs now...dude is legit....
  9. wtf?!?!....I can't complain now...but the obvious thing to do...his age.....experience...and skill...or lack there of it....would have been just stupid to continue that farce
  10. or that....lotsa holes in T.O now so maybe they offered him moocho play time
  11. he is a stud....had a string of games/snaps where he didnt allow a sack or a penalty...was a phenomenal amount...off top my head cant recall WhatI do know is has good feet and athleticism for a big guy...likes to get in second level on runs and cause havoc too....could be the replacement....also has experience at guard too
  12. odd we are moving on...he wouldn't have garnered big bucks either....not sure who they see as his replacement on the roster
  13. If we Have WJ...Lawson...Fox...thats a good trio to have as a base....liking that Jamal Woods too now that I realize we have him signed, and Randall is a big body whom could also push for a spot...we know Haba can play, and I truly think Garbutt is better....so even if those are the 2 top guys out of camp...and we actually roster both and not be stupid all yr and waste a spot on Jackson, I think that line is actually better than what we had last yr...especially with Thomas hopefully having minimal reps, and if we could swing Kongbo to keep Bennett out of the rotation...I can't see him bringing more than he did last yr... I will pass judgment on Biggie when I see what he has in camp, but also if he is a part time guy helping groom a newbie....he can be pretty useful for one more yr....Wilson as well...will be more like he was 2 yrs removed from Achilles repair...he actually was just fine last yr already...so not too worried there.....and we also have Cole in the mix, and we will have some new blood as well even if he is not better than someone else after camp?...if thats the case..then our coaching staff needs a slap upside the head....or aren't this be all end all most claim....you play the best players...not the best...and a few of your fav's and guys that are endearing to u...thats just stupid
  14. Neuf has been solid and one of leagues best guards 3...4 yrs running now....people here didn't truly appreciate what we have...One of the 2 main constants from the o-line turn around and yr in and yr out dominance...Him and Bryant
  15. yeah.....i see no reason for panic at all...plus our offence hits the ground running...not worrying about installing a new system...new key pieces....and core of the defense much the same....
  16. ran it back 2 yrs...ran up to it the other 2 and got slapped away...if we being factual lol
  17. so hypothetically right now with guys signed/brought back excluding draft picks and any possible FA pickup.. would it be safe to say a tentative starting 24, sans TC competition which would give us our best line-up be: Willie...Lawson...Fox...Haba up front (I have Haba there as he started games but truly don't think he's our best option...which isn't a bad thing by any means) Wilson...Biggie...Cole as the LB's Holm...Parker...BA....Nichols...Ford on offense Big Stan...Dobson...Eli...Neuf...and lets say Vanterpool and Kolo as 6th Lawler...Woli...Demski...Schoen...and lets say big Bodied Keytaon Thompson out wide with Cruickshank for now as the Returner/gadget guy ZC...and BO in backfield Can't see that line-up by itself not being at least a 10 win squad at worst....But we have some guys....especially on defense now that I have looked at the roster that could really push for a role/starter spot...as well as a couple sleeper guys in offensive skilled positions too. We get a solid draft...maybe 1 more under the radar key value signing as a free agent on defense...and things really look pretty good....younger...hungrier....and still have hat key depth with leadership and culture police Especially if we can un-earth the Biggie heir apparent this yr, and have him be guided along by Biggie in a more rotational role to keep him fresh... .thoughts?
  18. Bummer....But hope he gets a shot to play there, and makes some scratch...wasn't gonna get either here which is too bad....He gonna be a good one
  19. i also think if we actually utilize Ford and Kramdi to their strenghts...it allows BA to be a true safety, and thats a win right there...he will be 2 yrs removed from his injury...and I expect his all-star play to continue....plus we may have 2 new younger guys in secondary, so he will be key in keeping guys coached up I am all for true competition in those spots...and RT isn't an issue in my mind either...I think we will easily find comparable, if not more varied use of our RT this yr with who we are bringing in to challenge....We were pretty confined with what we did outside there last yr...No knock on Yosh but his mobility was not like 2..3 yrs ago, and I saw him trucked too many times last yr for my liking
  20. Complacency and comfortability had set in...and is never a good thing, even with a veteran laden team...some of this should have happened last yr, but pleased to see a god majority is happening now, tho a couple of re-signs are questionable...but could be gone after camp...guess we will see
  21. I look forward to the morphed line up this yr....needed new hungry blood....and some youth...clipped a lot of 30 somethings from the roster...
  22. he gets to dance late tho...thats my issue...and still not sold on his tackling...and dont see it improving...Thank god he biffed on Rhymes last yr....Ford will get there sooner to actually disrupt a play...or minimize it as opposed to helping slow it down I'd like to actually see us only declare 1 National on defence anyway....so we can freely swap out DT with an import, with a Nat in at SAM or vice versa...we started more than required last yr, but rarely utilized it to any rotation advantage...so whats the point....tho how we had our roster, and PR set up we had nothing in the cupboard to take advantage of it with anyway...especially with a spot being wasted for a pointless fullback, and one who made no impact on ST's Maybe Krammer can change my mind and show exceptional traits as opposed to adequate at best...but not holding my breath there he holding a presser or u guys out at a romantic lunch date??...lol MTL or Hamilton...slight chance Ott but they seem to have what they need there SMS wie...though I would dump Acklan for Sheed if I was the GM there...just the guy they need to pull it all together
  23. and showed great close and nice coverage...tho he shows that in practice all the time regardless so not a shock...just needed a chance and was not getting it at time with guys we had in front of him...He also excelled on ST's as well so that will help this yr too
  24. I'm always around....u just dont realize it! I have flexable work sched and where I do it from.....so basically am online most of any given day...that being said...Our roster usage blows....better be rectified this yr!!! Have at er!!
