Booch

heck we still have a couple on our current squad...I'd have kept JA over 3 we still have

and was behind Harris before that....was a solid guy in the end....and didnt hurt you when he needed to step in....how that would projected as the bell cow...who knows....but guy was nowhere near being a bust by any stretch....he was a complimentary piece on a team outside the starting 12 on offence like 2/3rds of every other teams roster

U think thats how it works?...Then he gets labeled a bad actor...same reason why u never heard a player(s) publicly speak out against not getting dline reps in lieu of inferior teamates....thats a ticket out the door especially with a coach who is loyal to his fav's to a fault Strev did that inquiring you mentioned tho before he signed this off-season...And I know as 100 percent certainty that if he didnt get the assurance and commitment that he is gonna be able to compete as a actual QB he wasnt signing here Dru Brown also wasn't sho horned into what they made Strev do...Flip the roles around...and you would all be asking...who's Dru Brown??....Yet Strev even with all the misuse...and abuse...is still relevant...Dru Brown had an alright season in Ottawa...not earth shattering by any means and looked better here than he did there...was he a benefactor of his environment...guess we shall see how he does in 2025...same with Strev if afforded the chance to play QB like he was promised Yeah I think both were insurance with not knowing if Strev be ready....that being said if they keep one...I think Dolegala wou;d have been the better one to keep tho... Buck didnt know how to use half his assets...One the bigger signings is Jarius...even tho not the O.C he definitely knows how to utilize players, and am sure he will have a big input in the playbook and game day offensive quality control...and I bet we see lotsa Logan....and Demski back to being more diversified...Can see Clercius being an important piece too

Part of their ignorance in obtaining best talent too in this perception that only a certain type of person fits the bill...talent is talent ...are they all choir boys...no...but as long as it's not something socially unacceptable and bypassing a guy is just foolish...if your culture is what you profess it will sort itself out...that thinking then should Harris have not been cut then?? And after the fact..watching his production...physical appearance and quick body break down...he was in my opinion using something...and as a strength and conditioning coach I know as a fact there are tons of guys on various things ...throughout the cfl ..ncaa and nfl...it's never going away

You can't gain anything from that observation based on what we gave him to work with...scheme...and not running anything in practice in that BB... Lots of games last yr as well ZC accomplished nothing other than giving ball away...and that was an offence tailored to him...and taking all the reps Drew brown looked like hot garbage a lot in the beginning but was allowed to grow as an actual QB..Strev was never afforded that here...ever Cherry picking one game when have no clue whatsoever of what all the circumstances involved were proves nothing..and was pretty obvious all yr..last 2 really that we couldn't make any adjustments on the fly or in game for the most part it our life depended on it...or how to best use our personelle He was only a SY specialist here in his late part of first tenure and the idiotic role we had him play last yr...if Brown was all that and a sac of plums he'd have been on a 4 yr nfl journey ...was he? Strev was failed by Bomber coaching...plain and simple...almost ruined Getting looks...or no looks in NFL at times is an odd experience.. some is political..some is black listed...some is just pass the visual "appeaeance" Lenius..KSB and that wr from last yr wave and say hi If a QB gets significant preseason play..gets on roster and in actual games...and bounces around for 4 yrs...there is a reason for it...especially a CFL detector as sadly they are victims of politics and bias' moreso than any other positional player who was in Canada first...

yup....allow him to get his stuff in order....put in the legit work and come back with a nice chip on his shoulder to prove himself...I wish we had went with him....

agreed...at worst ....he can be Faj when Faj plays that odd game outside his ability....at best I see him as a Tracy Ham type....that tho has to be allowed to be an actual QB and with a Co-Ordinator that isn't stuck in a box and has no clue how to use players.....Realistically I can see him as a more polished Kerry Joseph....a guy who will lead and have guys go thru a wall for him...as thats what he is gonna do...and give you more wins than losses and a guy who can take a game on and pull out a win from time to time on his sure will alone....Camp should be tres' interesting

Dude can play....and if he is not totally a fraud then it's probably much the same as picking a guy who you knew was gonna exhaust all NFL interest for a yr before showing up...this instance it's a certainty he will be in camp fr 2026 as no NFL team will even give him e second thought now....

Yup...for a regime that puts at times...too much relevance in vets...no way they going to war in 2025 with ZC..Wilson and rando scrub....not happening...And I wont be shocked to see Strev taking reps and situational work away from ZC

Thats an assload of substances all in system at same time and several of which just negate each other and only thing they doing is putting undue stress on his liver and body's own testosterone production...100 percent gaurantee he's shut down and on some kind of...or better be on a PCT of some kind to kick start his system again.... With the half-life of the SARMS he obviously was dosing at combine time for the combine to up his numbers...Likey the Anavar too (Oxanandrolone)....Be interesting to see how he comes into camp for 2026

yeah....I saw him in April....he will be ready to compete And the notion he cant pass is almost laughable....watch him run thru a route tree....or make throws from all spots on the field....then get back to me He has a stronger arm than ZC...had a stronger arm than Brown....Wilson currently has best arm in camp .....the last 2 yrs ZC has tossed a lot of ducks out there....above and beyond all those pics...and was real lucky he didnt throw more....and thats not just due to him getting "used" to new receivers or "injury" issues on offence. A QB with legit arm talent....and cognitive ability to grasp whats going on around him can be successful with any group of pro receivers and a solid OC.... This camp and first 3...4 weeks will be interesting in my opinion with ZC to see how he does, and if he is on serious decline...until shown otherwise I'm leaning on the latter

I think Pattersons days are numbered Strev isnt limited.....thats just the assumption based on how we basically mis-used him here.....take away his rookie yr....his 2 yrs as a qb in college and his NFL work....he passed just fine.....and would be even better in a game plan and system tailored to him.....

Pro coaching will fix footwork issue and technical stuff...interesting pick that could actually land on roster if we go 7 giys again....which I hope we dont as it's a waste and takes away a guy of value on teams and for sporadic reps in an area of usefulness yeah....I like the 2 LB picks...I think Jaylen is gonna project well as a multi tool guy for us....Shay definately knows his pursuit angles well and has the instictive ability to read a play quickly.... thanks god you forgetting about Kelly and the real diamond in the rough with Makonzo....crazy good add and if I was Kramdi i'd be worried....we definitely morphing what we wanna do on defence in Youngers vison of a fast athletic group who can play multiple roles Kelly's yr to take the step...ready for prime time now as opposed to a rook....and I think forward looking he is the better long term player....Kid should have been an every down starter last yr already Strev is as safe as ZC....If not safer....Banana and Paterson are what basically amounts to camp arms and if one of them rosters over Wilson or Strev...major step backwards yet....how many times did we see Thomas used as an end?/....good grief

Guys who can and likely will take reps along with solid teams work...bonus part...their versatility...and fact Lawson is back hopefully allows us to bump one of..if not both Thomas and Schmeck off roster

The same pros who play JT...wasted a DA spot on the marine...run kolo out there...thought Hurl was good...the list goes on...I think tho they figured it was a freebie pick so...meh...what the heck If anything possible insurance and some reps as the 3rd down sneak guy if they think Strev isn't ready to start season...tho I certain he will be from what I hear....and he may actually not be the defacto guy there anyway...allows Wilson to keep engaged

Hence why it was just plain dumb..no chance cracking roster...at all Both those lbs are good picks..I actually see Smith projecting better in long run

Osh boner for some reason probably..lol..he in cub scouts or something ever?

I think they see Kelly already in house as what Findlay may be...plus he may not even play long Younger is definitely architecting a roster in his vision...lotsa free and strong safety types and interchangeable parts...I kinda like this pick as he projects as a solid multi yr player I have reservations still tho on how we plan to run our front tho...I don't wanna see the excessive contain and 3 man use..unless they the right 3 What a wasted dumb 3rd pick

Need a guy they don't have to pay this yr haha

Yeah they would do u no wrong for some sets as the 2 interior guys just on their own

Please don't give tsn more crap to drivel on and on and on about...the Fords will be more than enough...they for now have missed the boat on the Halletts..nary a mention lol

Please...for love of everything holy...keep oday right where he is

Ahh...gotcha....yeah we couldn't have made that deal with our slugs lol Yeah...wanted him here to evicerate the need for drip and drop...him and Lawson would have been all we needed for nat dline guys

why would they wanna trade for the shittier ones?....who would....we couldnt give them away to be honest

But Thomas and scmeckke have shown they are not legit...kornelson won't amount to anything and I bet he doesn't make it out of camp...Gowanluk possible good teams guy...outside of Lawson...Samson was the only national DT with possible upside...maybe a indicator we have a draft target at DT
