Booch

we all better pray for that...as options are all gone now and hope he can continue what he did...and add more to it

Ford tho really is a blessing to get away from....easily replaced at half the price or less.....Our real issue was Dline/end....LB....receiver...Oline As it is and looking at what's left to scrounge through...our receiving group will be weaker...our dline as well...got older...and weaker....We did grab a legit LB but missed out on a few others....oline hasnt been adressed....yet.....there are guys there but in all honesty other than at center we would have been okay with same group...or one of Wallace/Eli for Dobson's spot if he leaves....our main issue is at center but we already know Osh is gonna hand that job to Kolo regardless of how camp plays out. We just may be going into camp and season with a bunch of unknowns and yet to prove them selves guys...

pretty much.....Not sure how/where we addressed the dline...If Vaughters is it...man we got schooled in FA....Nothing left now unless you wanna go Woody Barron...Oakman...Lanier....that Albright in Sask is intruiging but other than that now just a collection of scrubs...hope to hell this new scouting staff has it's game face on....as we need some legit talent that can play

he is....not much else of any real value now other than him...Be just like us to miss out on all the guys that were options and bring in an aged Dionte Spencer....and trump it up as a solid signing

yup....loss for sure....and we gonna be going into 2025 with a significantly weaker receiving group than last...regardless of who we sign "vet" wise in FA if we even do now seeing as Rhymes is headed to Cgy now...

maybe Lapo has wisened up?...Lapo had him actually at the start playing QB so he knows he can do it...Buck never at all let him be a QB and the one game he started basically rode him into the dirt and it affected him all yr until he got hurt

Yup...we cn go that route too...be very cost effective as well

he gonna be back here

Wallace is gonna be that guy...just oozes mid 90's guard monster brawler....High hopes with that one

yeah...good signing for u as your short yardage blew....Can't expect much more than that from him tho, but really thats all that specialist needs to do anyway

he's a different player...more of a Sheed but better big play ability Hopefully Mitchell takes that step up now in the Lawleresque type role...he definately has the skills....better speed....His head wasnt in it in 2023....kinda turned the corner again last yr....if his head isnt into here....then he wont last into 2026

yup...needs more seasoning to see if he can achieve upper teir...he not there yet...and a lot of times he definately was fumbling and bumbling around out there when he was opposite legit defenders....almost looked lost...and having Kolo beside him just amplified it

yup...one nutjob has to mess it up....that being said....doesnt mean other will follow suit now with whats left

My understanding was we had yes....a 2 yr deal for him at that price, but both parties were gonna wait to see his market price....and as it played out we prob would have bumped up to 240 but at this juncture in his career being prob his last lucrative deal he went for the financial benefit...and cant fault him for that...onward and upward

ZC tho needs vets...and a guy he will trust...Rhymes would be that....and he has a knack for pulling in shittty balls...albeit at times on the cusp of OPI....But if he doing it for us...I'm fine with that....And ZC does throw a lot of shitttty balls in bad spots I think we should just Sign him...Bring back BOLO and be done on the reciever search....rely on scouting and the inevitable return of Wilson...he not gonna stick down south... That group would give us a nice big physical group with a lot of versatility....also have to assume we will see a lot of Logan...Especially with Lapo here...and If it Jackson...he will utilize the hell out of a explosive dude like that

ZC definitely needs a guy to secure thos less than ideal passes to thrive...Keep them from away from Schoen as he takes a shitkicking as it is already

yup...we got his market offer...and we walked.....good move....I guess he is going back to losing again....so be it Only guy still available I would want is Rhymes now...his physicality would be a welcome augmentation to the group Mitchell...Demski..Schoen...Rhymes...Clercius as a starting 5 would be a nice group... Not sure how Dobson has himself valued at that...maybe after another bet on yourself 1 yr deal and prove it maybe same...love him when he is on...but even if he gives you 18 games....in the current CFL market now thats on over pay now...Dobson is on glue....

You should be turning over pieces of your roster every yr....we essentially stood pat for most part for 4 straight yrs...allowed our depth to erode, and we put zero effort into identifying who and where we may need to upgrade/move on from due to age/production/cost and brought in a true blue chip talent to develop and easily transition them into the spot....and instead just rode the wagon till the wheels fell off, and had zero depth behind key positions The last 2 yrs we are truly lucky WJ didnt go down for an extended time...or even Bighill when he was still productive...as we had zero depth there....We would have ran out Gauthier and Briggs as they all starters and suffered greatly and yup...we went away from this and should have continued that mindset with bringing in established guys just at the edge of achieving their peak and keep filtering it thru the roster...instead of retaining "our" guys....essentially just because...we missed out on a lot of guys we likely could have signed...but we felt it wasnt needed because status quo seemed to be working....and that had no forward thinking involved in it and having the foresight and projecting..a yr...2 yrs down the road and groom your successor....or bring in the successor and thank the incumbent for their service...which we didnt...we have really eroded ur depth and hamstrung our roster....and thankfully it looks like we are getting back to re-stocking and moving on...a few yrs too late but its a start

getting rid of young...2nd yr guys and keeping over the hill guys who were here for the flops is assbackwards....you know some the dead weight has hit it's ceiling....are on the downslope and offer next to nothing down the road....you don't know that with a young player...especially ones who really didnt really get a lot of rope to hang themselves.....U dont wanna believe it but games are won and lost....and players success and failure in football is 90 percent due to prep....coaching....adequate roster...and adjustments by the coaching staffs in game......on any team...thats what failed us. If it wasnt a coaching issue and the good and bad is all on the players...why have coaches?... we've done some good moves and I acknowledge them where warranted...but will also call out the stupid ones too....and we made a few....let me rephrase...continue to make the same lame ones....A person can call out both sides of the equation....deosnt make them less than thou or anti anything....in any job environment...you continue to make the same gaffs or fail to adapt and eveolve...get better....u dont last a longtime

so true....reg season is all nice...and feels good....total collapse in the championship games....and flops that were totally avoidable...unacceptable. I can give a one time mulligan...but after 3 yrs running....things gotta change a bit and be re-visited in off-sesson....and the issue identified...and corrected....and this is FIFO isnt it....dont wanna conform then Eff the Eff off

Pickens are getting slim...Dont want/need Hollins....Rhymes may be viable...we can take advantage of his push offs now.....and he is still a productib=ve guy above and beyond that...and brings some attitude to the group.....His uncle played here...he may as well I still not sold on Lawler being gone tho either...from my understanding he wanted 2 yrs here...The market as is now wont garner him more than 250k ....between 200 and 250 here...with part of it as possible incentive based...is totally doable

oddly enough tho thru camp and just skill wise he looked the most pro ready of the guys we brought in....did it translate on field..no....but also was it how we used him?...I didnt ee him as a swing and hittch guy but more a spread the field...more intermediate and deep routes and we never did that with him...Thats on Buck and glad he gone as he really had not clue how to utilize particular players particular talents and skill sets...I bet he looks totally different in the Hammer we could have stocked our cupboards....filled our needs and left him out there and then signed him after all the signing flurry ended across the league...he would have still been there and we likely could have signed him for less saying this is all we got...and he would have took it if he wanted to continue being a pro ball player...that was my biggest issue....he wasnt a priority, and if someone did scoop him....no loss and made some of our 2025 roster decisons pre-made for us...as in...he wont be in it

last 3 yrs really....I wanna trust.....Faith in the scouts and Walters...zero faith in Osh rostering our best roster tho...none...zip....until he prob=ves otherwise and he can deviate from 2019-2021...I will be critical and call **** out

Geno would be just as good or better for us...I'd be all for that. Acklins hanging them up

We not winning the cup last few yrs had nothing to do with the players...tho the injured ones we tried to play with didn't help...or the lack of depth in key spots...but that all points to the reason we lost.
