Booch

its all hard money apparently....but yeah if he gets dinged we can escape some of it on the 6 game...that being said...not sure how much was bonus money paid before even a snap this coming yr...so may not even be that big of savings if he goes down

Teams that lose them due to poor rostering...repeatedly....thats who....and good teams always look to add to roster...continually get better...and add pieces where they may already have guys...who aren't as good....again...that's who we should be in his ear now....guy is a baller and will be 2 yrs removed now from his injury...so should be the in back to impact form...27...in his prime....versatile....a no bainer

Sorry for disliking suckage...this is the only place in my varied career where less than adequate is tolerated and the norm Jake was halfway serviceable maybe 5..6 yrs ago but even then he was bottom teir..we had a decade to upgrade the roster spot...chose not to....not how I roll that's fir sure

oh I agree...100 percent.....but my point is...is this the best we could have done??....thats an unequivocal hell no!....Thomas prob still wanted to play but Walter's may have taken that option away from Osh....so Osh offered him this....we shall see tho how it turns out....but if the DL improves it will be from players brought in and not some new crazy moves JT came up with never seen before to catch olines off-guard, and taught them to the guys, or some funky new scheme to revolutionize how dlines play in pro football 😁

a group of godplayers can make a lousy coach look good, just as much as lousy players can make a good coach look bad....I know you like to defend Osh and challenge me, but in a pivitol yr for us and one where we may need a lot to go right to get us on track again...dumb move....and I sute there were better options...heck I know there were... Patterson choose to retire...and was known actually during the season it was his last...even further shows that we had a long time to bat names around...and this was best we came up with

he also had the worst collection of guys in league to work with too the last few yrs....so hard to say...I do know Patterson is a well respected and experienced coach both sides of the border...But he chose to retire so was out of our hands ....he did quite well in 2021 as the coach when we had talent to utilize.....Grey Cup ring and dominate defence cant be argued there I agree with SANKEY...More holes in his game than T.Jones and yes as bad as T.Jones is in space he way better than Sankey....so why pay Sankey premium cash when we can get the same for less....Now if we can grab McManus tho....you do that

problem position I think he meant....and choosing the worst, least skilled of the bunch to lead the group now as a coach....effort and trying hard to execute even tho you aren't good enough shouldnt equate to being a coach....right off your last snap...maybe perenial league all-star who had exceptional skill...."and tried hard" But none the less this move isnt gonna kill the season....but is a weak typical move and reeks of an Osh thing and still inability to let guys go and make tough decisions....Especially with Hogan...who was basically a mental health cher leader for BO more than actually showed him anything...No reason we couldnt have moved on....just another example of rewarding failure

not hating....its from my coaching involvement...and experience...if a guy cant teach/show/ the basics...how's he gonna master harder things right out of the gate...and we cant afford another dud hiring basically because we like to take the easy route or maintain fav's And yeah..I am saying it...where have you seen him use any technique...show hand skills...even a swim/icepick move....I have never...physically I dont think he even able to do it to be honest...so how he gonna demonstrate And agree with the point nobody can say he will b good...or bad....but why take that chance?...If anyone here thinks that of all the possible coaches in th football universe that this was the best choice...Your bloody idiots...no offence....but you are....and I'm sure by coaches who identified him as good it's more than likely "coach"...and the rest fell in line Any player who is a pro more than 3 yrs should know the game, and the position....and I would the best option....much like with players...not the same ol same ol.....this aint the best option And it's got nothing to do about hate...but skill/worthiness/best option

wasnt it like 50k a yr moving up to the next collective bargaining agreement? Lat yr 400k bump was a precentage of the new rev the league got from its rev sharing part of deal....so that first big bump may not be the norm yr in and yr out...or it could be even greater...Too bad the League isnt a bit more transparent about it...or putting it out there for all to see Maybe this yr its up another 300....400k in addition to the 50k....so essentially almost a million higher than 2024

haha.....Gotcha! I think it's more he couldnt be bothered and was too much work....Ironic for a guy that put in the work when he played and a bit of he knew himself thatbhis god given natural ability was why he was so good, and couldnt teach that...so why bother

THat was also 8 yrs ago also...before we effed up our SMS to Assett/ability ratio Since we grabbed WJ in FA ....who is a big ticket FA we have grabbed that was a coup or considered a big score?....I cant really recall any off the top off my head...but can think of multiple guys we re-upped/extended for big money...but small production....cause it was the curse of status quo/we good....and not projecting 2...3 yrs ahead

who's the GOAT

I can see if a player had exceptional technical skills and technique with zero coaching experience then sure he can be valuable and pass that on and teach how to do it...he doesnt posses that tho...so how will he show guys how to execute things?...Or if a player basically shadowed for a yr like Miller ...which he basically did in his last yr on the IR and kinda got on the job tutoring before actually "on the job"....13 yrs experience in the league sure is all nice and all....but doesnt mean that right from farm to table you gonna know how to coach professional ball... And I will say riht now if we have a dline this yr that kills it...It wont be because JT became the coach...It will be because we grabbed some legit talent...let some of the current talent loose and used a more effective scheme for majority of snaps

I agree if it takes him off the field I'm all for it,,,,,but to become the DL coach...piss poor decision really when we have been pretty bad there for most part last few yrs....with him being of the worst...I'm sure there were better options out there

sure didnt show it anytime in his career tho....what's he gonna teach any vet DL guy...or nw guy...absolutely nothing really.... just shows they still cant/wont make the real tough decisions....

Hogan back...why....pointless Couldnt cut ties with useless Thomas so have him coach?...??...Like wtf....with all his coaching experience and all....the least adept technical/skill guy we have...so have him coach?...makes sense to me...what a joke...those 2 moves just take the shine off of what so far has been a good off-season...but not a shocker...

I didnt say I want Sankey one time at all...and yeah said hard pass before...that was a general statement...and agree...hes a bit better version of T.Jones...just saying if a guy is available...who makes u better...get him regardless of who is under contract already But do agree...if this "regime" again decides to play the inferior player...excessive Canadians when not needed...and not best option...then yeah I gonna complain...cause its just more of the same again And I havnt said sign every player available either...so appreciate u not putting words in my mouth please and thanks...and save for guys who were cut already...and our own guys...there is nobody out there worth signing yet...

regardless of potion, or your situation.....if you have a chance to make your team better....you take it....we dont seem to do that here We seem to think that if you have a returning player or vet....a guy you perosnal like for whatever reason, then there is no need casue we think we "good"

Yup...experienced it first hand...and seen it happen too...The Arland Bruce and Troy Mills incident still is one that sticks in the ol memory bank quite vividly

Yup...if his nfl chance fizzled...and more than likely will within 2 yrs...its play here...or don't play

I think he may have been the choice but with that personal issues he had to deal with..they bumped OC Guy up in the interm...as just choosing him as unqualified as he was...seemed an odd choice...with maybe the gentlemen agreement that JJ would take over when he got here...and then we renaged on it kinda?? The whole thing seemed odd and we did interview experienced guys...and guys with solid coaching resumes...and then went with that maroon?? Like wtf

I think the fact we seeing so many bigger ticket deals before Jan is we putting some of it on 2025 books..so we should be looking good to.go shopping in FA

so Demski is getting 240k next...245k in 27" with some in that yr gauranteed....all things considered a good deal for us with

Pimpleton....but believe he signed thru next yr Crum could follow tho as a opp to be 2nd string/Short yardage guy...Adeboboye I'd make an offer to as well as Canadian depth that wont break the bank

If we could land him at a nice price.....with Pokey...Demski...and whomever after that it would be a great situation....I could see him being a WR that ZC has a real good chemistry with and allow room for others to come free
