Booch

Waggoner is a very good technical dlineman..exceptional hand skills too...I could see us looking at him as a hybrid guy inside and out I have mentioned before that from who we have coming to camp from last yr that Garbut to me looked to have the best over all skill set...and the highest upside...he has a nice length in the upper body, but also was most explosive in the initial moves off the snap...so really curious to how he has developed this yr...He got knicked a bit in that one game he started, but stayed in...but it slowed him down a bit but still was making plays and was constantly busy...Thats what I like to see and look for....he has it...Same with Fox...I really looking forward to him getting lion's share of reps...dude is a powerhouse and explosive and always moving I looking forward to going to camp and focusing on the dline guys

figured that was coming...good long serving guy...but was time to move on there

yeah was gonna say Walker was going into his 3rd contract

I not certain we lose BOLO yet...

need to go cheaper in a few spots...Have at Rt Tackle...with departure of Houston, and possibly Rose that may be the area we do it, as we seem to excel at finding DB's With Bailey unsigned, we may go entry level at the 5th receiver spot now too...I don't think we can offer any less to Bailey and as much as he loves it here and wants to be here...he needs to look after himself now too at this juncture of his career..then again...u never know..maybe we offer him similar or a bit more...If we moving on from Jeffcoat, and feel no need to sign a vet thats available and go soley with 2 entry level guys then maybe we have money for Bailey...With Walker moving on, and Fox on the cheap....savings with JJ and Walker likely gives us about 100k surplus with replacing them both with entry level guys from what we had on books for them last yr

Yeah basically on offence save for maybe Bailey, we are bringing back the hole crew other than Hardrick...Hardly the demise...As long as we have a mobile and adequate RT we will be just fine...Hardly a crisis...I'm more concerned on the defensive side and what uor front 7 will look like

Gauthier was the one foot soldier/depth guys I wanted maintained...Exume as well...rest can all be replaced/revamped...by that I mean the older ones who have peaked and are decliing...or will never be anything

Yeah...I don't want a Hallett long-term at safety either...kramdi at SAM over Hallett to me is like picking the tallest little person...we really don't even need to go Canadian at sam anyway...I would like to just declare 1 national on defence and use it on the Line...with Lawson ..as the main guy...but that's what makes Kongbo a key add...or another producing Canadian....via draft...FA or trade...we got 10 picks...maybe get a guy like how we landed Lawson. And we could rotate a Ford or Kramdi in at times to go 2 import DT's as well as times or a cheetah package with 3 de's and Kongbo Another thing to really allow some defensive flex is tag Biggie as your Nationalized Player and actually use him as such 29 times a game and roll all Import....Walters and Miller should tell Osh to.suck it up..out aside his dislike of the rule and use it to make us better

Yeah...he has to wait..but really why bother ..he flamed out there once already as a young guy...he's past the worth it age now to develop... especially undersized and if anything a situational guy ..and I wouldn't even know what situ he would suit down there...

Didn't open mine...he may have got better...but still worst in league...not a big accomplishment..

Yeah Hansen and CLements are not signed...and for all the Kramdi love...many here must have low expectations or are happy with kinda adequate...but he's the weakest sam in the league ..and is average at best at most things...and exceptional at nothing...we need some serious help at linebacker...recruits or sign someone I agree tho Younger will deploy a more traditional backfield and will be a huge plus for BA to actually play a true safety role I see Fox as a breakout player and am fine with him and another import locking down a spot to rotate in with him and Lawson..theres a few interesting prospects coming in..but like to see us bring in another vet for depth and rotation... Kongbo for passport...plus fact he excelled here...I don't look at his last yr and a bit as anything but being in poor environments Our DLine depth with Thomas ..Bennett is weak..weak...Schmeckle as well has no real future and even the other kid coming back..Kornelson is undersized and offers no wow factor either...work needs to be done there prior to TC Lawson...WJ..Haha..Garbutt..Fox are nice pieces...but after that...eeeeck...

Edm signed Leake...he's a big signing...instant field flipper

and an all-star to boot...and brings the nasty element

He won't get to camp...and if he does it's for a body only and early cut...and no chance of a PR either...

Yes...him

Eli is not a tackle prospect...he's a natural center but would also be a mauling guard if need be...him at center tho makes our interior strongest

Yeah...I forgot we have Cole signed too...I'd like to see him at SAM....and with Biggie...I'd like to see him as the DA role Cole had...and also stick the Nationalized American tag on him...why Osh refuses to use that is baffling...as it hinders lineup flex...suck it up butter cup and use it...as it's not going away as much as he protests...which is basically what that is.

Well right now we have Wilson and Biggie unde contract...Reupped Kramdi...so is that the plan? Truthfully would like to see 2 of that trio as rotation/backups at most...that be a weak trio ...one of weakest in league

That's a deal with no money...and no guarantee he even gets to camp...could be set free when CFL season has started...and will be left gathering peanuts

Houston replacement already here in either Holm or Parker .as well as some interesting guys coming to camp Kid from Hawaii prob get tons of reps and chance to pin down that RT position...and I can see if we re-up Gray he will be slotted there as well to compete...haven't looked at our signed guys for camp on online...know we brought Ivy back...tho don't recall what he looked like to be honest...but we carried him half the yr so musta been something we saw

On going talks and then final offers..then some silence or non communication is standard fare...what else you supposed to do? That's standard fare until this new tampering window. As for JJ...not sure what the disrespect is...if his offer was lower than he wanted...and like to age and durability issues then really he has no reason to be other than disappointment...but disrespectful is kind of sour grapes...take best deal offered and prove true worth then....why quit I also think this isn't end of it either and he could be back...or be elsewhere...lots of time between now and TC's

Generally the agent is gonna reach out by Xmas...or shortly after... especially if team hasn't contacted you...or mentioned any plans Also...pretty much across the board if you are hearing crickets it's an understanding that team is moving on...or you low on the initial priority list...again that's when an agent should be touching base. I see this as a spin by Friesen to stir up stuff...and as others mentioned I have seen first hand them at practice .. absolutely ignoring all that went on...then asking who looked good ..what went on...then write a piece for next day with "their thoughts"

Nothing nut props and respect for JJ....As dominant an end as there was when he was playing, and always turned it up in play-offs. But we all reach that point where we no longer can play the game...or are wanted how we feel we should be...never know when it is, but we are all told.....That being said it gives a true opportunity for some new blood to step in and establish themselves, and may lead to a veteran signing too

Ambles would have been here long enough..and in been in league long enough to run plays....he would have had to been covered tho regardless as he would have had been a legit threat...Bailey and Schoen after the firt quarter garned next to no real attention...just light coverage soft coverage... Alston I sure as well would have looked better in second game, and as well had to been respected Sadly not even giving BOLO a snap likely was the final straw that broke that camels back and he goes elsewhere ...even for comparable money

I'd cross check my mother into the boards to win hahaha...I'm a lil intense....but served me well
