Booch

most times....a good majority here dont....is what it is....and you can take my comments/opinions/insight for whatit is and believe it...or dispute it....doesn't ruin my day, and it brings good amusement to myself and other posters which is not shared online I don't profess to know it all, or have all the answers with no room for discussion....But I have and had skin in the game...close contact and relations with many still in it...both sides of the border as well as work with recruitment and training and placing guys in Europe...into development camps and with tryouts with pro teams, and when I make these "blanket" statements you allude to, you and the other ditractors have no clue what you are even disputing, or the validity of it, and frankly to be blunt...yes have no clue what you are talking about....I guess that if in your eyes and eyes of some others that makes me "think" I'm better and the King Dong of **** Island than so be it....IYKYK

tell me about it lol

Schoen will be signed.....before FA starts

Or draft a fullback/RB type who has done that job all his life and can contribute in ST's I've already accepted the fact based on a few things Osh has said...and what I have heard via certain people/channels that more head shaking stupidity will continue...Unless Walters takes the options away...or actually plays Boss ...as that's what he is...tail has started to shake the dog a bit...maybe now he has a 2 yr deal he will assert himself more

We all know how any useful important American could have made the roster...any one that wasn't a wasted FB

He looked good in the game early in yr too...He's active and powerfull....Plus he was used on ST's too....guy should have been in lineup all yr

Bladek wouldn't be an upgrade over anyone we have now...Maybe Machino and Kolo if we resigned him but doubt we do...

Emilus needs to put solid seasons together first...but he doesn't do it all either...Mcinnis too...one yr really of good production...but also was in a pass first and pass heavy offense....Cottoy I would put in the teir with Woli....Smith...had to look him up ..let's see what yr 2 thru 4 holds...he seems like right now a 1 trick pony

KSB is a horrible route runner and technically awful...was so hyped by Suitor and TSN for a few good games and play...suspect hands too. Woli has great hands...great routes...knows where soft spots are to help out his QB...great in run game and pass protection...as solid as solid as u can get...and he's a leader

Or we had Poop....Brandon Bryant...Bryant turner...guys who were hard to handle one on one

Gray is the swing guy we need....plays all spots well ..not spectacular but he's still young in regards to oline I'd like to see Dobson overtake him and he be our sixth...but also be the guy to come in for what Jackson been doing...he did do it some games already...he's athletic enough and that's all he knows....moving bodies and he always one of first lineman down field blocking....frees up the DA spot and allows an actual impact player on the field as well

not bringing in at lest 2 legit NT or at least beastly DT's to compete in camp....legitimately compete against incumbents would be a recruitment failure, as that would be 3 yrs now running ignoring a glaring hole....much like the Rider woes on o-line

and could have Mason Bennett on defence To make that all work could be at expense of Bailey...Walker....Kolo...Thomas...The latter 2 which should be a given...Possibly Jeffcoat if we land Bennett.....as we have some talent at DE....If only they would be allowed to get a shot (see u later Jackson fixes that) I think Fox should be given the opportunity they gave Walker...Walker is solid...Fox can be impactful....

I could see a trade by us pre or during draft to add an established talent....or move up cup....Canadian draft is a crap shoot at best...prob 25% of all picks amount to some kind of legit/game changing play...rest you could all throw in a pail and toss one to each team randomly till they all gone

agree....If it came down to it..we a better team with Scoen/Strev than we are with a bloated BO salary...especially when we can get same out put there with an entry level, or second contract import (Hello Mills or Logan)

thats why if we landed a Payton Logan in FA....or a rookie clone in lieu of BO if he gonna hold us hostage where we would excell in the screen game...guys like that...get a small hole...or get edge outside with the explosive speed are eating up huge yards....we have lacked that aspect and at times it has hurt us when our deep to intermediate game was off...or taken away and we had no answer to it

yes

no...the post u referenced....not u

reason why I stopped posting...comments like that....not sure why i even did today....but thought I would share a few things....

we will now see if Brown was a product of his environment...familiarity with scheme...coaching....roster...being all he has known for 3 yrs....or if he is the real deal....Gut tells me he will struggle quite a bit if he comes out of camp as the number 1

being local should have no bearing on signing especially if it throws the SMS out of whack and you have to let someone else of vale walk....bottom line is wins...not employing locals...33k will still come out and support if the running back was from here....or Buttitch Arkansas

yes....its not a dollar for dollar thing...Plus 3 vet salaries become entry level ones...which equates to more savings...also..Strev won't be holding us over a barrel either. Our other vet re-signs that should be made..Yosh..Woli...Jeffcoat...aren't big bumps either...they basically at max vale as it is...and nobody is gonna over pay hugely really for any of our vet guys...maybe Yosh by a sad sack like Sask....but Yosh will take a lil less at fair value to stay here anyway, so it's a moot point

I didnt imply those salaries covered it all....Schoen will likely come in at Lawler last year money at top end at most...but u also add an entry level contract at 3rd string qb...and RB....so thats also savings above and beyond what those 3 pulled in...Lawler took a shave..Bryant took a shave...Expect Biggies shave to come...jettison Thomas and Kolo 3 figure salaries....Briggs and Millers...and it adds up...

that was before Strev came back in equation....I can see Schoen and Strev in at expense of BO...Prukop..and now Brown,

I wouldnt pay that....but hear that is what we willing to do....give or take a schekle.....and some guarantee money too if he takes 3 yrs in that area/range
