Booch

after this weekends game they will have sat out the 6....so they could be back...thats why u let them practices' after the 5th game to get them game ready

where you getting those Neufeld numbers?...BO will max out at 114k...not a penny more

Augustine will make 99k this yr..thats maxed out...he wont hit his other incentives which could have banked him 120K...so basically next yr him off the books is a alloted 120k...tho he only will have pulled in 99k....u have to look at the max price in what we have as the structure.. BO max is 114k...Hard money was 100k...so I assume from what he doing he will make his max...I sure the extra 6k was for another 1000 yard season/or leading league...so he gonna hit both unless he goes down for rest of yr Our highest paid DB is BA and thats hard money of 101k... all in all...we will be able to retain who we want to, and possibly grab a new vet who we covet

yup....Dobson will now be into the 110k -115k range next yr...maybe...I say that as we have Hardrick as the 20th highest paid lineman at 140k (166k max)....and Bryant is at 190k.(thats max...technically tied with a whack of others....none of our other olineman are in top 20, so good guess is that Neuf is prob around 130K and Gray around the same or just under....so small bumps to even Gray and Neuf would still allow us to easily sign Dobson...and we know both Bryant and Hardrick will wait and sign fair deals when we have others locked in...as thts what they do....If we go out with a cup win tho this yr I could see Bryant maybe calling it a career, but thats not a 100% thing your Neuf numbers are way wrong

Augustine is around BO numbers which is bizzare....and likely 1/3 of that will go to BO next yr...the rest elsewhere And yes Bailey and Darby are bargains bigtime....new rookie deals are 71k minimum going into next yr as well

as I thought.....Haba....Hansen...Clements all fully dressed and participating in practice today.....Grant running sprint drills....I bet all 4 could be in the BB lineup...but 3 likely Haba...Hansen..Grant in,,,Mcrae..Jackson...Mauro out.....now wouldn't that be a boost all around

yup Neither of them are actually....they not on rookie/entry deals but we have them at a wicked savings.....That being said I can see Darby gone tho as Parker..Swarmay and if Ford is bck have his role more than covered be the perfect compliment to BA if he was to get knicked

Rourke also went U.S prep school for his senior yr prior to University ball...and from experience that 1 yr alone in prep school environment would have gotten him more training and and experience, as well as quality teaching than all his football experience in Canada combined...Then 4 yrs of U.S training and coaching in College, which makes the Canadian equivalent look like a joke....so yeah he played some minor football here and a few yrs of highschool ball, but it in no way shaped him and prepared him for the pro's like the route Ford has taken

Yeah I think this yr we get the best olineman available with our first pick...It's time to groom the next Eli/Dobson.....and keep that cupboard full with top talent...Next pick best be a high upside defensive guy on the line, as the 2 guys we drafted last yr...ain't gonna be anything, and Bennett won't really be either...unless he makes some dramatic turn around this yr, but he will be turning 28 next yr during the season...so not like he is a young development project I do like Cole tho, and can see a role for him...christ see one now, and he has been getting more and more reps on defence when the game still matters, so obviously the team see's it too. I still think he would make a killer safety or SAM personally, same with Ford, and this was his one time shot for the NFL...guys like him are dime a dozen in the NFL talent pool coming out of school every yr, and with U.S football experience, I was shocked he got a deal, but it was based mainly on his testing numbers....so hopefully we lock him up after his rookie deal...He also is a real good returner, so would be extra valuable on the game day roster

I can see Augustine being moved on from....what we basically use him for is ST's and as a backup...just in case.....and we have a good track record of drafting ST demons, so he's likely gone, and maybe next yr we actually keep a true legit RB that is a rookie import, whom can be the backup returner, and have use in game on offence if we choose... i can see us locking up a impact vet for defence next yr on a 2 yr deal for the grey cup at home run

yeah forgot about those 2....Both could be replaced next yr eh....I don't see any issues regardless for us keeping who we want...Bigger question is there someone we have as a potential target, that may have a ripple effect on someone no longer needed here.

yeah he will need a bump....and really if Ford s back....He will easily supplant what Kramdi gives us...which is average play at best...plus seems to be hurt alot

yeah you have to replace them...but you will be replacing them with entry level deals, or just a tad over league minimum as opposed to 3...and 4th contract guys...so the cumulative number adds up...Best bet for next yr vet deals likely to be off the books will be Darby, Lawrence, Thomas, Augustine, Briggs, Hallett, Kramdi, Kolo and maaaaybe Neuf as we need to integrate both Eli and Dobson into the starting lineup or risk losing Dobson, as Eli is locked up into 2025. Not sure what plan is for Cole and Clement moving forward, but likely one will see the road, and we replace with a rookie...I could also see Bennett not making the cut next yr, especially if we are able to land one of, or both of Bennet and Kongbo from the Hammer. Bailey I doubt we move away from as he is pretty key to the offence as a whole and he is dirt cheap...so bumping him up for next yr wont kill us, and he has done nothing to play himself off the team...Unless they make the decision to actually give Agudosi a real chance and see if he can fill the Bailey role, as his rep in the NFL journey was the same type of tenacious player, especially on ST's...But u can bet next yr that the Lawler/Schoen/Demski/woli quartet will be back

Yup...was a bad game all around...defense balled out tho...loss not on them Booch Posted November 20, 2022 Loss isnt on Leggz...was on offence and poor game.plan...plain and simple u can ball out and still be undermanned you know...not their fault they had a less than adequate roster funny

yup....there no reason we cant move on from Kramdi...Kolo...Briggs..Thomas..Cadwallder...Hallett contracts that are not league minimums and replace them with cheaper and the same if not better talent, and use that surplus for a Schoen and whomever neds a bump....Looking at roster he is the only one requiring a significant raise

Expect to see Haba ... Clements and Grant practicing this week...if they get on roster...that's the question....all 3 should tho if healthy and ready to rock

parents has sex in Canada one time...may have been his inception??..was basically not much more than that...I think his mom had some canadian relatives tho was the reason... oh that Bruno ...he'll get cha everytime!!

Gord Miller was lingering around there for some reason...Bud is still out front last I heard a Chad hang down

Cahoon's National status was biggest joke ever to be honest...Woli has more claim to than Cahoon Rourke was born here but all of his formative training that actually matters was in the U.S....

we seen in Grey Cup last year that lack of dline depth kill us....that and the fact we didnt move away from Leggs and we had a QB who did all he could on 1 foot but shouldn't even have been playing

We have some depth guys...yeah....but we dont dress them....but will dress a buttload of teams guys, and use some as rotational pieces and quite frankly many wouldnt get a sniff on any other squad if being frank We have Clements to backup basically 2 import spots...thats it...Sure we have cole but we seem more inclined to use him as an edge rusher, when we have a Haba and Garbutt in the wings....give Garbutt a shot and see what he brings...aka develop him if he shows good...or cut bait and bring in someone else....We know Cole and Mauro aren't gonna be dominant edge guys, never ever....or they would already after being here for 2 to 3 yrs...Cfl rosters don't allow you to baby a guy along for yrs. and "hope" he works out Our national rotation pieces on the dline other than Lawson are a big nothing burger...the guy on our PR was useless and over matched...Thomas is now only good very sporadically and only in the middle...yet we trot him out there as an edge rush guy which is actually comical if you watch and dissect those reps....A soon to be 28 yr old rookie in Bennett has shown nothing, and prob never will...looked good in Canadian University against 18 to 22 yr olds...whippity do We are fine at DB but the insistence to force a Kramdi in one spot, and then not utilize the fact that with that extra Canadain starting we could go all import on the dline to really shore things up and take the load off the Jeff's is inexcusable....and add in the fact we won't use the Nationalized rule mainly because Osh has a bee in his bonnett about it and doesn't like it is even more inexcusable and if Walters had a set he would tell the coach to maximize the roster as best he could...which that would do Not concerned with offence, as we have all the horses we need there, and then some, as well as depth...the main issue is and has been defence for 2 yrs now....yeah yeah we have won....but thats in spite of the inadequacies because we have exceptional talent starting.....and we riding that to death, seeing as we are not grooming or even allowing new fresh blood to take reps...it's just not good, and yes will eventually really bite us in the ass What would happen if both the Jeff's got dinged...or one of the Jeff's and Walker....and were out...we would be royally screwed if not for anything that our replacements on the PR...have played no reps basically, so other than Haba...we dont even know if the 2 guys we have on pr (Fox and Garbutt) can even be adequate over a spell of games, because we have chosen to DA a import fullback for no real particular reason other than that Osh has a boner for him for some reason...who is average at his role at best....is way overmatched in his actual position brought in for (DE) so in a nutshell...things like...or "spots" such as that

really tho...who cares about a Canadian QB??....Are Canadian RB'S....WR'S...DE'S...etc just totally insignificant??? What does it matter what position an elite Canadian plays is my question...promote em all...or promote none

I think now that The Chad has to play 10 straight...and the hits pile up.....the production goes down....way down

I didn't look at tweet...so not sure...I just know he been cut...and 4 yrs now in league..and lot of it on game day roster would make u think he be an overly pricey guy now as a pr or depth guy

And right now...we developing none...and if anything overusing guys like Kramdi..Thomas..Kolo...who basically are not the future here...and adequate now at best Adequate don't cut it...and we one injury away in a few spots of being in severe trouble
