  1. coming from a former defensive player I agree...even in warm weather....The smaller scat backs and shifty guys are more preferred as more time than not they running away from you, and aren't taxing on you other than just maintaining your lanes and having good cardio.....The guys like BO look for you and punish you, and trust me...you feel those collisions alot during the game, and when you repeatedly are exposed to them, you subconsciously start to avoid some of the contact, even tho you may not intend to...just way it is, and you see it with BO that as games go on....he gets hit less, but is still running guys over, and looking for them....beats you up Come chilly ball, it compounds matters...another thing second level guys hate O-lineman following up plays and keeping the flow going, and Winnipeg does it to a man in spades....guys tend to try and just get out of way and aren't focused on the battering ram coming downhill at them Good example look at last game...how many times did you see Riders swarming around the ball carrier...kinda tiptoeing around him, but just waiting for the sacrificial lamb to stick his nose in there and initiate the gang tackle...a whole lot is what you will see....
  2. thats prob why Agudosi still here...and if he is actually given a real opportunity, and had balls thrown at him...he will produce...He's a valuable asset sitting there, and you know if he was cut loose he would be signed immediately and in a starting lineup somewhere When you think about it....other than almost any other teams top receiver, who would step in here and supplant one of our starters and do what they are required to do?...I can think of a few, but there is a reason Agudosi isn't cracking the lineup...just no spot for him or anyone right now
  3. Oh yeah Kenny is 2 yrs....forgot...that being said Schoen will likely be in a 200 to 250k range for his second deal I would guess, and likely a good 1/3rd of that at minimum going against this yrs cap...Will some team offer more...likely....but who's that team and where they headed?...big pieces to the equation....and Schoen has seen how guys here work, and what they take in salaries to allow the team to be continually successful, and he seems like he is the same type of guy, so I would be totally shocked if he just took the highest bidder.... we have at least 600k Saved to go toward 2024....and yeah Edm is straddled with guarantees money in a lame duck QB...which won't help them, and is Lewis a multi yr deal?...he and Dunbar both are making prob almost 470k between them...and look how that has panned out...same as last yr paying a WR 300k with a dirt cheap QB salary...they cant do that now I see no issue with this team keeping who they want to keep....it may take a couple vets not being re-upped, but won't be key vets by any means
  4. If you can't find quality import o-lineman your scouting staffs need to be revisited, and thats why quality O-lineman who are Nationals will cost a pretty penny, tho some teams have way over spent (BC..OTT...EDM) but sometimes you need to to get a guy in those early stages of a build. We had to with Bryant, and then some good drafting got us a pipeline of Centers to build out from....thats how you do it....That way you only really need to go out and find 1 interior guy to bring it together and save SMS as you build rest from the draft. Bryant then subsequent trade for Neufeld allowed us to do that, and have the staff to see talent in players others didnt (Hardrick at a lighter weight out at tackle)) and we had a progression from Goosen...Couture and now will be Eli, Chungh to Desjarlais...to Gray...Dobson....pretty hefty turn-over and no real steps back, if anything steps forward. you cant build an oline in FA without sacrificing everywhere else on the roster, and even then have nothing behind it, especially if you dont use forward thinking in your draft...Thats why Sask gonna struggle for yrs yet...Can't replace em all with big bucks....and guys they have tried to develop just aren't that good.
  5. and we wont...no team will Kenny I bet will make same roughly as this yr, and Schoen under that...likely combined under 500k....also good bet both Schoen and BO will be extended prior to end of fiscal year, with a nice chunk going against 2023 SMS Only team who would throw insane money around stupidly is a team who isn't paying a Marquee QB...and what receiver will wanna really go to that scenario?...
  6. do Canadian players now get lumped into the "global" distinction...can't see why they wouldn't be
  7. I'm sure he wont just jump at the biggest price toss at him...and am sure he will get some sound advice and "been there" from Lawler and what pro's and con's are Didn't turn out to well in that instance, and can say same for Lewis there this yr too...tho he was hurt, but still.....same scenario more or less Like said many times before, and will again...grass isn't always greener, and sometimes security, chance to win...staff and organization played for carries a lot of weight if you can get a fair deal there... I have no worries about losing Schoen and have no concerns about him chasing the big buck in probably a shitstorm of a situation and leaving whats happening here, and his brothers Our management will make it work and it's likely at the expense of Thomas....Neuf (tho no reason to with his play) if for anything because we have younger and cheaper guys ready to step in (Lawson/Eli/Dobson) as well as jettosing vet contracts like Kolo, Darby, Lawrence, Briggs, possibly Gauthier...Miller not to mention the roughly 280-300k we shaved off this yrs SMS from 6 game guys, which will go a long way to re-up guys even before they hit the market, and likely save some money just from that
  8. there is already a lot on internationals in the NFL as it is
  9. injuries.....damn injuries, and suspension taking an elite player off field yeah it's not a case of swapping out a player....changing a coach...it's whole sale
  10. to be honest nothing about that receiver gives me any reason to think he makes this team....
  11. only narrative that they were good came out of Sask.....wasn't based on reality in any way shape or form
  12. my lineup/management concern have not gone away....a big win that glosses over things doesnt change it...Defence was hardly on the field to wear down...so was a non issue and to be quite frank Sask offence is not very good and their run game is prob worst in the league....so if they had to play a few more snaps it probably still would have been no big deal Offence personnel really was never an issue...was more scheme and preparedness....but we also can't expect what we saw vs Sask every game....
  13. I didn't even realize Bane Jr played until I just watched that...apparently tho we couldn't cover him...according to him....I guess that tall QB didn't see him running free all game
  14. Chungh here was never a good technical, and polished olineman....he was a mugger...mean and played on the edge, and complimented our really talented guys, so was expected in BC that he would look sub par
  15. post game show usually is laughs galore...especially when they take the callers
  16. ahhahaha...possibly....i do have a bit of a look that screams unstable and loony
  17. yeah I got tired of listening to an assload of commercials with a few moments of chit chat wedged between them
  18. I have some army pants I wear on occasion when doing yard work...I gonna wander into practice tomorrow...just jump in on some snaps....
  19. and for last 3 yrs too....just snake bit i say!!
  20. I actually doubt we will....If anything I can see us replacing the Mcrae's and Agudos's of the roster...The big 4 I all see back
  21. which makes even more sense to whip in some DT's and DE's as well...we have no DT's basically other than Walker and Lawson and 2 of our 3 DE's worth spit are on wrong side of 30
