Booch

Couture would have been the center come playoffs injury or not to Kolo....he played well when in, but nowhere near Couture level we just have to run our normal offence, and implement the couple wrinkles he have perfected, yet to be seen and we will be just fine...regardless of who we play in WF nad in Grey Cup if we advance, I'm not concerned one bit about offensive output, and putting up points. My only real concern right now is cover teams, and to a lesser extent run defense...but maybe we just being vanilla there too...we been so far out ahead, and in control most the games, and most of the season, and knew basically 2 games ago already we would likely host WF that why show all your cards and schemes...cause to my eye we were doing some odd tings, and some stuff that didnt make sense and almost seemed...well....dumb...so a bit of playing coy I think was being done

he was brought here for a reason...and unfortunate got hurt in his start for Bryant last yr....time in the IR rehabbing is insignificant...Lofton has bounced around since 2017...and not locked down a job yet...he soley here as insurance until Richmond is 100%...and there is/was no reason to rush him...also...3 yrs younger..

Richmond is way better....and will be here too

we dont talk about thorax here hahaha

not sure why people so fixated on that...the only one I see likely to do that is Bryant if we lose the Cup....if we win again...he will be back for part of the chance to go down as un utter dynasty and 4 in a row

yup...I would lean this way, and yeah Moncreif I think checked out mid season...he wont be back unless they signed him multi yr...did they?....he prob asks for his release to pursue NFL dreams and ends up elsewere...likely with Jones cause he will over pay

yeah I would pass on him as well...If we were to chase someone I would target Avery Williams in Ottawa...great player on a piss poor team...time for a change of scenery for him to flourish elsewhere

yeah I think he has 1 good solid season in him yet, but best we start the passing of the torch process next yr....have a guy we groom...or target a free agent...I could see Biggie after next yr signing a deal as an augment to the defense and a ST guy in is golden yrs....for a nice team friendly price....

and Brady O has learned how to feed and thrive off it now too...

was just gonna say...he was dropping back a ton and was pulled away from the main fracass...I know for a fact he was pretty dinged in middle...to middle third of the season but soldiered on and thru it as we were right depleted...he's been just fine since BA got his feet under him, and Parker has evolved...I understand Houston was in gear the other day as well...but watching and not participating...now if he back for playoffs on the corner, and we have both Parker and Lawrence rostered...Jeffcoat back..Adams fully immersed in our system...I be feeling pretty good about things....along with our season opening starting oline back...and in beast mode last 4..5 weeks, and all our receiver's as well...now only if Wilson was to appear......

yup...right up by the taint hahaha...with big boy Dobson coming in to plow trails

That could quite possibly next yrs unit, if Schoen is gone for a bit then its Lawler for him....if he says I could even still see that unit, as Ellingson likely comes back a lot cheaper...but possibly he's one and done here and we trot out Lawler, Demski, Bailey, Woli and Agudosi...good luck with that group as well...and Bolo and Mcrae subbing in

Demski is fine but he likely rests...or gets a few reps with the defacto 1's then thats it...

we have consistently not given up TD's even with yards against...and have consitently shown teams have had a heck of a time stopping us from scoring...some times at will...so a chilly game...at home..packed house in a one win gets u there shot...I like the odds...

the teams still get that financial support...all that matters

well no doubt...same with when Woli went out..Bailey and Schoen benefitted big time...just the fact tho that we will have all the game 1 starters back, plus use Mcrae and BOLO gives our offence a huge boost, and will be tough to defend especially how BO has turned the corner and looks like AH 2.0 now

yup....and I hope friday is a nice balmy day, and if they win WSF and make it here for WF it's polar opposite ....

looking back...1989 avg 23.7k...1990 avg 27.1k...1991 avg 27.7k...1992 avg 26.1k...1993 avg 25.1k...2000 avg 25.2 k...2001 avg 27k...2006 avg 26.9k...2007 avg 27.7k...2010 avg 26.1k...2011 avg 29.5 k....just for some of the leaner yrs 10 yr avg from the 1987 point was 26 391....10 yr avg from the 1995 point was 25 538...10 yr average from the 2011 point was 26 399 and the 10 yr avg from 2021 point is 27 683 so based on that we have had good and healthy/consistent support

the day we turned the corner...and havnt looked back

thing is tho...Mcrae took Ellingson spot basically on the roster, and is a huge down grade receiver wise when we run 80 to 90% of our schemes...so yes a huge downgrade...Mcrae will still be used and on roster, and will serve the role he had when Ellingson was playing....and the fact now we will have both Schoen and Ellingson running from the slot, and various other spots is gonna make it real tough on defenses now, as u still have to consider Demski and Bailey, and clutch Woli

Najee Harris has done nothing...and looks like crap.....and he had minor Linsfranc issues compared to Rourke.....I sooooo hope they rush him back....will hamper them more than Adams and he will be a sitting duck...and first time he needs to escape and is clobbered, or has a dlineman on his back pulling him down he is done...also...he will be jittery in pocket most likely and forcing stuff too soon....I'm sure our defense is just giddy waiting for that...100% healthy Rourke looked average at best against us

man thats soooo funny and so legit...what a bunch of scmucks....goood thing Dan Clarke was brought back to solidify "the group" standing there off to the right looking for something to block...or just going "huuuh???"

Mcrae will be the back up...as well as BOLO...they are all in sync and know their role...so u get Woli and Ellingson in for last game...and get them as many reps as u feel they need in certain sets and schemes...case closed...the beauty of our situation this yr, is that if/when we get to full health all our back ups, and some of their back ups have gotten a ton of reps, and we know what we have...we in a good spot

is it not the host city responsibility to secure an act...and not the CFL?...not exactly sure on that, but if it a host city/team thing..then another typical Rider crap show

thats what we should throw at Schoen...but have the base salaries sit at 175k...190K and 200k...75k Upfront
