Booch

Yeah...well coached for sure...not sure what happened to Faith tho

Prob not....or he would be a supplemental draft pick candidate...or in draft...no?

Yeah...some guys former teams may step up...or another team may... they not set in stone deals signed yet

def some culling of the heard here this yr, mind you some of it should have happened last yr already, but good to see, as waiting one more yr would have created a huge roster turn over at a bad time

agree...but not to be stupid here and all...but theres a 1 yr stop gap to plug beside lawson and Fox for 8 to 10 snaps a game as we develop another guy from within.....and DA him in Jackson's spot for those 6 reps, as he has yrs experience in jumbo packages with Edm and Mtl.....guy is till effective and with a part time role....and offers more use/value than a Seal does

i will have to give u some more stuff to manifest haha

some Hungry youth like Davis II would be a welcome add.....and a Kongbo re-union to where he flourished would be the perfect guy to rotate in with along with one of the new guys...

thats practice....game movement...intensity and need to be explosive is a totally different cat....and in "practice" to show how you look you don't/can't replicate that...and won't...this comes from being there and done that....and we saw in the game...3 guys did not have it.....why people keep trying to deflect and not throw blame at Osh is baffling...and as a coach of his pedigree and success should have known better, and put team first and not player loyalties..was a bad bad decision...Hopefully was also a lesson learned moving forward overpaying and just tossing money out the door...is desperation management....and thats what Sask is fully in on right now

Other teams are full aware of his injury issues...so top end money won't come his way from them either...hence why you havn't heard his name in any deals...so if its a case Team X offers him 19ok to 205k and we say we can make it work at 170k...175k....No doubt he sticks here, but to speak to that other point makes it even more imperative that we scrap the Jackson use and field another rotational end not named Bennet...or use snaps to play an interior guy outside and further bagging them out. For WJ and JJ to be effective...Heck any duo you want and need another guy spelling them off...if not 2....and then you can use them in different front all together...this is where we have failed badly last 2 yrs...and its shown

yeah everyone is banged up....but 3 guys who shouldn't even been on the filed is bad....and then dressing a back-up in Mcrae...who also wasn't good enough to be effective as witnessed by not even seeing the field once, as a back-up to the 2 injured guys on offence...is even worse....especially when Demski was far from healthy too....but in that area of for playoff ball healthy enough...Bailey...Schoen..Biggie and McCrae had no business being on roster well....no....not across the board....and not to the point it limits your play.....

oh yeah....can see this blowing up bad...Hardrick wont fix that Oline...The Qb's arent gonna carry a squad....they had zerodepth before, and a lot of their depth guys they had unsigned...all new coaching will take a bit to gel.....this reeks of Oday last stand to try and save his bacon.....cant see it working

Rider's loading up...Carney now...guy would have looked good here.....they trying to buy a one yr turn around and curious still on the Oullette and now Carney numbers, as if they higher price targets too...they will have next to nothing for depth.....I sure hope that we didn't sacrifice defensive help for the big offensive salaries, and that we have a plan/idea that some the new recruits, and a couple holdovers can step up...Hold overs not being Bennett..Thoms...Schmeckle....because if they are the plan, and nobody new steps up or gets a legit shot...we gonna be a hurting defensive unit and will need to throw up 35+ points a game

we have lots of culture guys still here...brought back a huge one in Strev....they can more than maintain things, and keep it growing...the loss of a few under-performing vets will not harm this one bit....the narrative that we have to keep em all from the inception is just not a factor and a useless shown....prob a 50% Bailey....and a Seal....

Don't forget them dealing us Neufeld for a 1 yr rental player

also wouldnt be surprised to see us maybe bring Mike Jones back if price works...be a nice piece who can play HB/CB and knows the CFL well...and still under 30

tho with the football reporters of Canada being who they are...BA was a West All-star....means diddly, but he's far from bad....and Rose should have been in before Houston....so sometimes Osh plays guys for odd reasons when they not necessarily the better option...I had no issues with Rose at all...Houston had holes all over...Poor tackler....not good in run support...gambled way too much for the juice being worth the squeeze...and probably the least physical guy we had on the field...was never a fan...factor in Rose been there done that and seen it all...was not lured into errors like Houston....all DB's will get tricked...but Houston's were more from a lack of understanding it all yet, and his penchant for the pick

Nichols resigned before Jan....I believe....before tampering period anyway

I can see if he was over 34..35....and totally a liability....He's not tho...and I wanna see if he is actually 100 percent healthy and has tossed the brace away.....and part of it I also think was whatever it was we were trying to do with the scheme there...Let him compete, and prove he top 2...3 again....if not we need to have more the cut-throat mentality and cur guys loose, as opposed to the old way of rewards for tender I have gone through 2 full rebuilds, and depending on the severity of the rebuild you are correct....and the fact he was still in a brace leads me to believe he wasn't 100% physically or mentally healed...so I wanna see this yr what he's got going on

I'm fine with BA back ...he only just turned 30...and can play multiple spots and his vet presence is invaluable. I'm in the camp of seeing how he does this yr 2 yrs removed now from his surgery ..the fact he still had brace on leads me to believe it wasn't 100 percent Also I think in a more traditional role of safety he would again be top of his class...what we had going on last yr was odd to me and didn't compute

Nichols is the best or top 2 dbs in the league....Houston is not...far from a top db...The fact he paid at par with Nichols is a joke

Not sure where they get off saying he was top Dlineman available....very untrue......And not bothered by this, as he wasn't a difference maker by any means, gives Fox a legit chance now, as well as having to unearth a new legit player....was feering if we brought him back that he would be the defacto starter there regardless, much like last yr...now that option has been taken away and we have to plug a new guy there Fox should have been there all yr...this was just another case of a guy being rewarded a spot for being here, and tenure.....and curious to see the new ends brought in, and also more of Garbut...he may be the guy coming out of camp on th roster as starter if we dont land a Davis II or Carney

was @SpeedFlex27 and I think he meant to type Brady

started one game for sure,,

Oakman would be a nice stop gap...give us 2 freaks along the dline and I bet the culture and the room here would set him on the path to a big season...I'd be fine with that

Wonder if we just weren't interested in Bennett, or his ask was outside what we willing to pay, or if we have designs on Kongbo back instead?.....I hope it's not a case that they think our current Bennett/schmeckle/Thomas Canadian talent is going to be the back-ups/depth guys, cause that would be the weakest group in the league bar none
