Booch

those other 2 just had to manage the game...which both can...and they would have got the wns T.O's avg start position for the most part was a 1st down away from points....and I have never seen a team have so many busts against them..especially early in the yr where the WR were wide effin open....for huge gain after huge gain.....It wasn't the QB throwing them open into tight windows by any stretch of the imagination...He wasn't outstanding more than he was basically the ultimate game manager They took advantage of an early schedule heavy with Ham...Mtl...Ott...CGY and Sask when 4 of those teams were completely clueless to start the yr...Sask got clueless as the season dragged on....and play a game..get a bye..play 2 games...get a bye....which was a nice perk too...and look at their travel.....for most part they could piss on the away stadiums from their BMO dressing rooms....Played in EDM and CGY early on...big whippity do....furthest they went after that was here in week 17...and Sask in week 20 Now if that isnt the easiest most pleasant schedule...ever...I dont know what is

thing is tho...Put ZC....The Vaj, Dru Brown....heck even Maier in that spot, and the Argo's record is exactly the same...he wasn't a difference maker by any means The fact he hasnt really even played full games much of the last bit and they still kept trucking ...right there tells you it's not a team he put on his back and willed them to win

Lawler is also signed thru to next yr....I wouldn't be surprised to see his deal re-worked and he gets a big pile of it this yr from some of the money 6 gamed, and he plays on a base next yr which isn't a big hit.... We will be shedding vet salaries in Thomas..Briggs..Miller..Darby...Lawrence..off the top of my head, and also have some hold-over money from this yr not used/6gamed that will help.....sure some of those guys don't make huge dollars, but replacing them will still be a savings, and also the cap does go up a wee bit..it increased 160k this yr, which probably a lot of people didn't factor into re-up money for this yr...I believe goes up 75k next yr So covers an entry level contract above what we had to pay for the same amount of guys this yr, and I do know the following 3 yrs have a 100k increase in each of those yrs....so the money allotment isnt as dire as you may think for retaining guys or attracting a FA big fish

I.m sure they are well aware of things...before...during and after And in regards to the where and how's it's gonna work....I think the decision is are we a better team with Lawler ..Schoen and Bailey, or are we better with only 2 of the 3, but with a couple JA...Biggie...BA...and Neuf missing... or asked to take a backseat role at a very reduced rate

yeah we need to change a bit what we doing there

Yes was a total Hypothetical, and I doubt he does as well....he has even said so himself,and from talk among players in the league...He is still considered the best at his spot

Say Bryant retires.... do we shift Gray to one of the tackles, and go with a Gray...Dobson....Eli....Neuf (Resigned) and Yosh With those 4 Nationals and BO...Demski...Woli...there are our 7 required Nationals right there....Now declare only 6 as required for ratio reasons on offence, and we declare Lawson as a starter, and one of Ford if he back or Kramdi...or someone we pick up via FA at SAM...but only need 1 on field at any time to meet ratio requirements....6 on offence...1 on defence We can then freely swap in a DA for any Canadian player on both sides of the ball if we require/want to for rotation....also with Stanley's spot gone to a National his spot is filled with another DT who doesn't have to be a DA.....Our DA's would be Castill...Grant, and then we can actually choose to put 2 others on roster...be it another DE...DB...LB...or even Richmond as that 7th olineman if we choose to do 7 again...as we end the stupidity of Jackson wasting a spot...Richmond would be a way better use of Jackson's 6 to 8 snaps., Then we actually signed, a cheap national full back via FA....A guy like Awachie in Sask is gonna be available and I sure he would leave there to come here, or drafted one or another player we could convert...cause it's not hard We dump Thomas...Bennett...Briggs...Schmeckle...Mauro...and target either Kongbo or Bennett in the Hammer to be that National rotation guy for the Dline to go with Hansen and one of Haba/Garbutt/new guy And back to the draft we move away from these picks where they see them only as ST type contributors, but actually guys who can take on legit reps, and allow them at same time to play special teams....If your an athlete at the pro level, and have skills....you can play teams.....this fascination of just special teams only demons is part of reason we are in the roster predicament at times that we are the last 2 yrs That would be my approach if I was pulling the strings

He definately has average stats, and wasnt really the reason they have the record they do...Chalk that more up to their defence...their returner giving them killer field position all yr, and the fact they played Ham..Ott and MTL a combined what 10..11 times??

In all honesty/reality...we don't know what we can afford or are willing to pay, and also don't know who the team has already decided thatthey will be moving on from....Also a player like Stan if he had a pretty good feeling that he was done after this yr has likely told the team...so they can allocate his potential salary gain elsewhere already, and know what they may need to use out of 2023 6game savings for re-upping for 2024 to ease the 2024 SMS ...lots in play, and we will be able to keep whom/what we want...And you can bet Schoen and Lawler will both be back next yr...Bailey too...Especially if we win this yr.....if we don't he may move on

I dunno....A QB isn't just what SASK needs for any semblance of turning things around, and truthfully....a QB going there is gonna suffer, and to expect Dru to do there, what he seems to do with ease here....he will get ruined there, and likely be a negative career defining time for him. Any semblance of a legit opp to look like what he has here, of teams possibly offering him anything is in Mtl...but how tied to the Faj is Maas....next spot is CGY but I honestly can't see DD admitting he messed things up there and dumping Maier...especially with guaranteed cash and him being the GM.... new GM at that....not a ringing endorsement of sucess I not sure hese buckets of gold at the end of a rainbow, and the big competition for him is gonna be all what people think Smart thinking, and forward looking by him and his agent might just be negotiating the best he can get here, and not hamstringing the team....like a lot of his teamates have before him, incentive laden it...in case of injury/degrading play by ZC and continuing what he has been here. 2025 is a long time away, and lots can happen and maybe he beats put ZC for job in 2025....and ZC renegotiates a team friendly deal to be back-up and have chance to go out a Champ right here on IG Field An angle many aren't looking at...and quite possible

Strev will.be in Canada next yr...98.98768 percent here

Yeah same.... Yeah...u nailed this... pedestrian at best...and based on BO game in and game out production...plus impact on the wins...hands down winner of.both in my opinion I thought he left under some kind of bad blood...more his part whining...if we both wrong maybe I should join u or lay off the jug a bit lol

He had 3 offers...all over 130k

A lot of the funky rules...and obscure ones were there when a lot of major rules in game were way different and hadn't changed to more modern ones...kudos to their coordinator seeing that one..and exploiting it But I think too it needs to be altered a bit...or even shelved now...if we allowed dbs to play like before with contact and not this no more contact stuff ..sure..keep it..not as it is now through

What a clown....BO had way more of an impact on games....and every game...not sporadic spurts Exactly

Yeah seems to be a cyclical thing...are we in the early stages of say 10 yrs from now guys like Brown...Powell....Forde...Dukes and some other random guy became really good successful QB's..I think that Kid in Ottawa who blew his knee out had some real potential...reminded me of early stages Damon Allen

Point 2 is likely....point 1...pfft as if...lol

Especially Dickinson is CGy he will ride Maier into next yr as he doesn't wanna be seen as a GM who made a mistake....they need to switch up what they do on offence tho to make him more effective If he is still showing to be just not getting it done with no upside by labour day I bet they make a trade tho

Bailey is a true legit Bomber...a lot of what they are as a team stems from him and how he worked his butt off in 2019 to get on active roster

Yeah...we figured he would be out of our price range...and had figured to reluctantly have to move on....luckily...we didn't....heart and soul guy

Considering he hadn't played an actual real game in over 3 yrs that wouldn't be surprising He looked good overall...high high ceiling and given an opportunity to start would be just fine

Yeah sadly he is a heck of a player...and by all accounts a real upstanding and smart guy off the field....some guys tho when they put the helmet on become real assbags

If Strev was to come back next yr, With the 2qb rule being on field together I'd offer him a fair deal, as 1B but also an incentive laden one for TD's ...Yards....etc...And use him at same time...TE on big packages...2 RB set...where you dont know if he will run or pass....Use the heck out of him...Short Yardage specialist......You could effectively replace JA...Jackson and Prukopp salaries with Strev....get 2 firt yr entry level guys to fill the roster spots of Jackson and Auggie, and also wouldnt have to waste a DA spot with Jackson who offers nothing that anyone else could...thats what I would do when he is reay...Likely this spring...He will be contacting us first and foremost and give us every chance to get a deal done before he looks elsewhere if it doent suit him

What is actual 1B money tho?....Whats Evans get...Shiltz currently....who both sit behind a paid as starter?

Hahah...
