Nah, I'd rather they break in a new receiver* on an ELC instead of inserting a one year plug.

Schoen signed a one year deal and might actually ask for more next season, Walters could have to decide between keeping him or Lawler.
Both will be back next yr...u can take that the bank

League figured out what Weineke was and once that happened...well u see the results...he not fast...can't create separation with solid moves and route running...so he's pretty limited in how he can be used...plus some of his big TD catches when he was TD Jake likely 5 times out of 10 he makes them...and that being generous

I think we see a shift from a role Bailey played to a dynamic receiver...speed and spread a defence ability...that's my assumption

He'd have to go a long way to beat what Hill did. Just saying. Alford played great but he was only a Bomber for a season. You can't make assumptions that he'd be the best DB to ever play. He had 47 interceptions for 482 yards in 90 regular season games, including a CFL record 5 in one game against Hamilton in 1990. He had 77 tackles, 5 fumble recoveries for 82 yards & scored 3 touchdowns. As well as being adept at blocking punts & field goals including the Eastern Final in 1988 vs the Argos. As good as Alford was for one season, this man was spectacular for five. Oh yeah, then there's Less Browne, the other corner on the other side during that 1990 season, He was another great one. I won't get into his stats. And there's a few other guys who had some great years.
Alford had a helluva year in the NFL. I'm not disputing that he's a talented DB. Only here a year. But who knows would he be the best? Maybe but that would spark quite a debate.
I'd go for whom I've seen for best Bombers DBs as Hill..BOlden..Brown...Roy Bennet and James Jefferson...bar none..nobody since be even close...I would almost put Bolden first if he had a series of yrs together...dude had no business being up here and we were so lucky to have him a few times

To be fair, Zach was bad for longer before we got him. That’s why he’s a good value proposition if he’s reasonably priced.
As long as they keep building the way they are ssk isn’t going to be a team to worry about.
That will drive me crazy for the rest of my days. We should be about to go after Edmonton’s 5peat. A fist full of single factors and or people could’ve flipped the last two gcs for us.
I wonder if we see the xfl 5.0 poach some of the remaining guys like lucky, grant, weinke, white etc.
Yup...the last 2 cups will irritate me till I die...we threw 2 away which we totally could have locked down. Gut instinct this off-season is a lesson learned was realized..finally...now hopefully all the lessons were absorbed fully

There a couple nice global DL prospects in this draft ..hope we grab one
- Stickem, ddanger, JohnnyAbonny and 3 others

Stats and crap are fun and nice...but the stat that is the indicator of who houses the elite talent...and team...51-17...
And if we didnt pooch last two playoffs...be running back a chance for 5
I don't care about a lower level team who runs a couple mid tier receivers out there who had 1000 yards when they won 6 games...
-
They all are mid tier right now...until proven otherwise...2 guys had career yrs last yr...is that the norm....or the anomaly...we shall see but I do like Emilus...and he prob will bolt there next yr I bet
Lenius has done nothing...cant stay healthy...and isn't a game changer for a big bodied guy...KSB as well...tsn and suitor creamed their dungarees over him for a few good games and plays...but inconsistent...not a good pure receiver and almost seems to loaf at times
I wouldn't take any of them over our guys..only Emilus to fill in the 5th slot but if he was to play the role Sheed did I don't know if he could
-
KSB is about as overated a receiver as their is...horrible route runner..no technique...and the other 2...let's see if that was a one off..
-
If Lofton comes out of camp at RT with all our incumbents I can think of way worse scenarios...A guy with experience...knows our guys and the league at tackle isn't disaster by any means...and maybe this motivation and the legit chance to be the guy is what sends him over the top

Who are their receivers...Bane...Emilus...and??
And throwing money at random positions when your core and structure sucks isn't a winning formula
They will be definitely better but in a battle for 3rd at best
Of the guys they signed the only one I would have been excited for was Carney
Edwards cooper...not any better than what they had...prob worse ...Thurman...Dean would have gave them the same for prob 30k less...
Getting rid of Dickie tho and his band of putz:s will help but they still have Oday..who prob just ruined their SMS to save his bacon

If they were smart they would have signed Yosh..Gray and Rice...and trust in recruiting to find a DB and LB instead of paying over 300k for the 2 average guys they picked up
those 3 guys alone with whoever the next 2 best guys they have would have improved their online bigtime..and been a solid foundation there for their offence...but they didn't..and they again will flounder
Godber is bottom rung center...Ferland is average and lacks physicality..who knows if Blake can even play 10 games let alone 18...and the left tackle they banking on has played what..3 games most?

It's been damned near a decade with the same tackles so..... kind of an unfair thing to worry about. If there's an open spot on the roster and a rookie earns they spot they aren't afraid to play them
ZC been getting hammered a lot last yr and a bit...maybe after review we determined Yosh was a factor...who knows...but if u review games last yr u will see he had guys get free...some clean quite often...he def isn't mobile and quick off the snap like he was
And he is nowhere the technician or good with hand battles and work like Bryant
If you wanna learn and see what makes him so good watch a few games and just him...the most subtle and totally almost simple things he does will take guys right off their attack...and that's not even using his physical skills...Yosh didn't have that...hence his skill will erode fast...once his mobility and quickness is compromised...he becomes a liability

Just now, bearpants said:
I don't care what would've happened if the ball hadn't hit the crossbar.... idiots like to say the Bombers got lucky... I say the Riders luck finally ran out... on that final drive there was the Sayles almost pick that would've ended the game... BA almost had a pick that would've ended the game... if Fajardo holds on to that "incomplete" a split second longer, it's a fumble and the game is over... Rider finally stopped fluking that final drive.
most definately...the horseshoe finally fell out

I think you wanna have a vet coming in for these open positions even if it's just a measuring stick for coaches to use when evaluating the young guys.
Last training camp we didn't really have any starting positions open.
but we also didnt allow for anyone to be pushed, or to keep/win a spot...which isnt a good thing either
-
that pass was gonna be either picked off, or swatted away....and from height of crossbar....,,trajectory of ball when it hit it and the depth of the receiver I think it was gonna be another classic Faf overthrow anyway.
And likely is Sask fashion even if they made the catch the kicker prob would have missed the convert...which would have been just as fitting and end....losers....just lose...110 yrs of history has defined it

Hey, if they feel that a year after they let him go as he was behind too many guys here and he's a good option now that those guys are gone I guess I'll live with that. I just have to feel that he costs more than others we have coming to camp and that the most recent history of poor roster mgmt could lead to him starting over someone that might be more raw now but has a higher ceiling overall.
You have to think that Lofton signing this early in FA would indicate that we made him a pretty good offer to come, sure he can get cut at anytime but... Can we afford to pay depth more than league minimum? I can't see Lofton signing today for minimum.
For me it's a combination of the player and what he hasn't shown so far in his career and how much more he costs than a pure rookie. If we are relying to have Neufeld helping this guy be good enough, wouldn't the same hold true for a raw rookie?
or he wanted a chance to win and be part of a succesful organization...guys will jump at that too

theres a thread for that?? lol

guys have mentioned you could hear the ball coming from a dart from Bishop
-
I am confident who we find for that spot will work out, and if a reclaim project that once here....will be well above average.
History with this regime/coaching staff has shown we make O-line guys productive...Hardrick had a foot out the door of the league until we brought him in...Chungh was good here....has been a bust in B.C...Kolo was discarded and unwanted, and tho not a world beater was part of Best oline in CFL.....Bond was a machine here....did squat elsewhere....even Speller....undrafted...unwanted....picked up off scrap heap....Anchored our line at center for a Cup win...we loose Goosen unexpectedly to retirement...we have Couture step in and be stellar
We will make it work I am sure...plus our recent draft success with olineman has shown we see the guys who project to be legit....Would be funny if Loften came in here for 85k...Anchored the right side of the best line again while Hardrick shows more decline and that line flounders with his 235k price tag...I can actually see that occurring to be honest

Yes, Lofton started for us in place of Big Stan in the last game in 2022 and we didn't see enough to have him here in 2023 over Richmond. If Sask didn't want him for LT in 2024 why would we want him here to try out for RT. I sure hope we signed him for league minimum.
They think that hawkins is gonna be a star....mind you I dont see it, and has durability issues....plus Oday is an idiot at assessing oline talent obviously

I think you might be confusing Lofton with Jamar McGloster
Lofton was with Ottawa in 2017, then BC, Edm, here, then Sask.
thinking one thing typing another...and looking at something else
-
have to agree...he couldnt unseat Hardrick and Bryant here...who in the league could have...then he went to MTL and wasnt half bad....then 2 crap olines in Ott and Sask
I tend to trust our judgement on oline guys based on what we have seen the last 6..7 yrs...He will be on a line with all quality guys, quality coaching and winning environment....maybe this is his finally getting it moment...and I sure he comes in cheap to boot

As far as I can see, Lofton's being brought into battle with everyone else for the RT spot. Nothing more than that. I'm hoping they bring in someone better, but that's what training camp is for, right?
yup...a competitor with experience in the CFL and our system for the spot, and a PR spot for injury reserve....not anointed the starter by any means
