Booch

I think he was just not resigned around covid...and sat a full yr out of football...and we signed him 2021

sadly if we worked our roster to its max...utilized the Nationalized Canadian and has someone else come in to block as the "fullback" that would totally make sense and give us our best roter...10 bucks tho says we don't....and don't for no real sound reason

Only O-lineman we have starting that was cut by anyone was Hardrick, but also our coaching realized that if he dropped 50 pounds he would be very productive. Neuf was traded for...Bryant and Kolo were free Agents....Gray drafted....Eli drafted...Dobson drafted so not sure who the other discarded guy was

Thanks for following with answer for me...and yeah those are just some of the examples Guys like Bouno...Cal Murphy...Mathews..didn't think twice or bat an eye dumping even an established vet ..or a current starter for some new stud they discovered...or a player aging out..heck I even remember Cal cutting a guy one game at halftime for just not getting it and messing up repeatedly...and they have a buttload of wins and rings to show for it

HE actually practiced well....his off-field training, prep and general commitment to his craft off the football field was severely lacking tho....

we tend to favor a player who has been here a while...over a guy brought in later who is better....why...I dunno...sure it's nice to show loyalty and all...but it's also a business of wins and what have you done for me lately...

yeah...looks like with who we been missing maybe we were just trying to weather the storm?...possible....and agree...Fox looks pretty powerful in the limited use we have seen, and I bet a combo of him and Lawson would make a lot of trouble for teams....

we've had issues for 2..almost 3 yrs now with keeping guys around that serve no purpose tho...so it shouldn't be a shock...and maybe as some have said...he just wasnt getting it or progressing in practice...or...seeing as ZC is signed thru 2025....that they didnt see need to develop a 3rd stringer that long...who may never supplant Brown, or any future QB we may aquire....so there is that...And maybe in practice...he has been getting denied alot...still.....do you know he's not...or is?.....so maybe they figured we are struggling...and having to use your number 2 and risk injury to him and then god forbid ZC goes down you just left yer ass exposed and are really in a world of crap....lotsa stuff we aren't privy too...Maybe he said he wants to go home this yr and spend time with new kid and come back for next yr?....we dont know

Jeffcoat I dont think was a serious injury, but more proceed with caution and not let it become a yr long issue...like he has had last few yrs with lingering issues having him in and out of lineup Him ...Lawson and Eli back full would be a big boost...especially if all are inserted into lineup....If Eli is ready I guess we may do the 7th O-lineman thing again with him as opposed to Szott ....and we know he would actually be used...so it makes sense as we basically have no other Canadian lingering on the PR worth putting in anyway Lawson immediately upgrades the National DT spot, as he is the best one on the roster and really is a force in the middle, and we all know what Jeffcoat brings when healthy...so some interior collapsing on the Oline will really free up our 3 ends I think tho with the DB's we gonna see a revolving and evolving group until we are able to figure out the pieces when all healthy...If I was a betting man come mid season we are gonna see if all are healthy a game day combo of Rose/Nichols/Mouhamed/BA as solid for sures and a battle between Lawrence, Parker, Holm and Houston for that other corner spot, and extra DB if we actually DI one...Swarmay will be developed as he has upside in my opinion. Do we flip a guy for a trade?.....possibly as when/if all are healthy...thats quite the log jam and just no room for them all....Have to factor in as well Ford possibly coming back sooner than later, as I doubt he sticks down there as there are tons of guys with his skill set...with American football experience who would take less time to develop and offer you more on the PR...So could see us effectively changing the ratio on defence and starting him on the corner....allowing us to go either 2 import DT's or start 8 canadians and allow us to swap out imports at that spot on the line freely.....and would be even better if Osh would stuff his Canadian pride away or whatever it is from preventing him from using one of many imports on defence as the Nationalized Canadian and really being able to load up some defensive sets

he's not here for his potential tho...he's here for a specific role...and thats is it.

Prukop has been brought in to do one thing...run the short yardage unit like he did last yr...plain and simple....and I guess the team feels he can do it better right now and throughout the yr than anyone else they have....so good on us for seeing an area we can upgrade and pulling the trigger...He's not here to challenge for QB 1 or QB2...nor was Piggy right now....so we are going with the proven commodity and the option the team is more comfortable with....and thats that...

the way we work the roster...we prob go with extra canadian starter and let a weak area hemmorage some more...well just cause thats what Osh seems to like to do for some odd reason

Yeah I think another DB is nicked...Is this the opening for Muohamed to nail doan a spot as we transform the secondary I was told Jeffcoat was not likely to be out full 6 games...so this makes sense to me and maybe reason we didnt fill the roster wit another DE Vet day for Biggie most likely Yuck in regards to Kramdi...Is the best we can do??...And if he is the dude then hopefully Osh wakes up and declares another import starter....Hello Dtackle...even if its only having Walker and Fox...as...well due to our awesome roster makeup thats all we have....but alas...he prob wont...and we will see heakthy doses of suck instead and play an extra Canadian, as well as not utilize the new rule because he will think it gives us some awesome edge/advantage...which it would if we had a roster to do so...but we dont

maybe some people have some info that makes them think as such....and with the 2 QB rule...it would be a lot of time on field I know for a fact his primary intention and want is in Wpg...or nowhere up here...so I approve this comment

no..no...Its The Faj hahaha But I agree...I think we are totally living in his head and he just panics

2 qb's on filed at same time....short yardage...and extended plays after the sneak.....packages in red zone....just like before...be ample playtime, and like most on this squad have said...the cuture isnt about stats and playing time...its about team...team success and winning this right here....and more a 50/50 split or even heavily tilty Strevs way...2025 is a long time from today as well...lots could change

agreed...and who knows....maybe someone has heard when the time is right he is coming back here regardless of role and cash....hmmmm...interesting theory dare i say...and in 2025....3 seasons from now basically ....ZC may have one foot out door ready to sail off.....things to consider

Other teams tho have no say in where he wants to go tho....if he hangs on down there until then he will have made some bank....so can easily see him back here on a fair deal for both sides...and with possible at home Grey Cup appearance in 2025....consider that a slam dunk

Pretty sure that neither of the 3 guys we have/had were the future after ZC is finished...My bet is we see a ZC/Strev combo for 2025 with some rookie 3rd stringer who will never see the field and just is filling out the roster on a cheap contract...so this move here is for the now...nothing more...nothing less

but also got to the cup

I'm almost shocked that we actually made a move to take a guy off the roster who is basically useless and wasnt going to be used....now...lets do that in a few other positions

more often than not...unless a team is truly inferior...Hello Elks....a loss that is a quality beat down is a result of one team shooting the lights out and being what seems outmatched from a bad week of prep and more or less pissing the bed...99% of the time...sure there ae other factors that may come into play...injuries...cockiness....etc....but more often than not...it's that reason being argued about...Lions came to play...we shat the bed....from guys on the filed...coaches game plan and team roster if this occurs now for game..after game....then yup...it's a problem and we have major holes/issues/talent questions.....I don't see that...and am not concerned....

no....not much beter...But it eliminates he Brown getting injured doing a job he needn't be

smart move and hopefully Piggy stays in the mix longterm.....Cause if Brown got hurt in a short yardage play, and then say ZC goes down after that....Do you really feel good about our success with Piggy as the starter for an exyended period??....I would hope not...he's totally not ready for that

yeah unscripted is just a theory some cling to...so who knows, but also feel it likely wasn't as we did that several times that yr with success......ZC forging thru trying to play when in all honesty he shouldnt have been on the field was the demise there...and even then we still could have won if we had an elite PK I am ok with this...he can slide right in on the weekend...and it saves Brown from getting hurt on a sneak play....cause say he did prior to this signing...Sure Piggy is exciting and has some upside...but did you want him as the starter if ZC went down for an extended time if Brown got hurt running short yardage???...I certainly didnt.....so now lets focus on the Dline and move forward
