Booch

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

it's quality air tho, no? lol

Davis II...Carney...Jeffcoat.....Kongbo....Oakman...Mike Moore...do we see one...or 2 of these guys in camp this spring?....And Walker talking to 2 other teams....do we want him back?....personally I'd want Fox over him as he is more active and powerful, can play cover teams...and is still on an entry...he's a break-out player waiting to happen. and the guy we bringing back from before who was in USFL...or whatever crap league it was...could be a load in the middle

Yup....out at right tackle...if the yard off is easily adapted to cannot see why not...wil be quicker and more agile than Yosh

Yeah Bryant's less....Oulllette be more Also forgot Thurman's price tag The other thing....our guys all right in prime...or still top of the league in their position/careers....maybe one the Rider guys is...and what guy on their list would you swap with one on ours? Yup....none

I'm not too concerned about RT either to be honest

Haha...hoorah

He won't be retired long....we will see him in camp

yup....balanced out nicely...now get a defensive piece, and one thios Canadian ends....and strive for 5 cant see why he wont be top 3.... I was being conservative....but I agree....and it will be even more funny....They got right gouged for decent players....but not top teir by any means save for maybe Oullette....but guess we will see what he does behind that Oline....tho over on their site I sure they figure to be making out like gang busters...

Actually for 538K they got Thurman...Edwards cooper and Hardrick....Just shy of what we paid for the Best RB...One the top 3 receivers, and most likely the best backup QB....and likely another 170k min for Oullette....so thats over 700k....Who got value for prime meat...and who overpayed for choice cuts???...lol
