Booch

said all along...barring that injury last yr...he would have been here and extended.....now ask...and what you get are 2 different things....its negotiating....but if we walk on ellingson and Bailey...money is there with entry level guy as the 5th reciever Agudosi is healthy....prob in a pinch could have played in playoffs but no sense adding a guy who hadnt played the last half the yr

and education...dental....gene pool analysis...

and reading there...they think Oday isnt sitting still...but killing it...re-upping guys on a team that sucked...had crap culture, and have been trajecting downward....just because u re-sign guys off your roster...doesnt make it successful off-season when it was a bad team.....just a bunch of clueless bafoons there yeah...resigned key pieces to the best squad...all i their prime or just getting to their prime....what a failure

Yup...basically sums up the intelligence there ..or lack there of ...almost sad in a way

"Trevor Harris is playing some of his best football right now" - Craig Dickenson hahahahaha

What was it

basically...settled for the scraps...and will be over paying for it too...and behind garbage o-line...as of yet nobody worth spit to throw to....implementing a new offensive system with a raw new O.C...2 OTHER coaches now.....Roosevelt and Tate with minimal...and no experience...what could go wrong with that??....gonna be a fun thing to watch that thing implode all over....and bet we have a HC change there by labor day...

not to mention probably a good 450k minimum for Lanier and Robertson...and if KSB comes back to him...he prob gonna want a nice bump...and thats without addressing the O-line yet....which they need at minimum 2 guys to make it even average....and they also need to replace or resign All world Dan, did he say he was hanging them up?...or is he back for more futility?

oDay is just ...not good....Harris will not succeed there behind that garbage...I dont care how fast he gets rid of the ball...The Faj for 80% of his pass plays dumped it out fast too....to the flats or a screen.....and where did that get them....ol nimble feet Harris if he needs to stand in there and try and wait for a play to develop will get pulverized...but hey....go get him for big bucks...and even then...not even a given either of those guys are gonna leave Mtl all things considered

speaking of...Is that Lapo's gig moving forward...some part of the TSN team?

Schoen like I said....was behind the 8-Ball in a few different areas...which is too bad, and its the meat grinder political world BS that is the NFL....That being said too, he may be one those freak guys who just excel and become all world due to the waggle....it's a real thing and sometimes is just that lil tweak some guys need to go from good...to great...and NFL scouts surely have dissected the 24 man tape and went over every big play and analyzed it

this right there...sounds like a lazy guy...and not committed...hard pass by me...for a multitude of reasons...also the Sask dline feasted early in the yr on some horrible opponents...inflated stats at best, and bulk of their sacks came in first 4..6 games....look at when Robertson came back...didnt change a thing...and would barely have had Lanier got his butt in shape dedicated guys in the pro...and NCAA tho who get limited reps...and are fringe guys do tons of extra work on conditioning...after practice...and on own time to be ready...as the window and shot is short and fleeting...or can come at a 4 hour notice...he just seems lazy...ZC tho was a proven entity...and the rralization he was finally healthy.....made that decision a slam dunk

and not 27 yr old receivers...who was already passed on....our gain, and he can forge a nice career up here and make more than decent money doing so...he barring injury has a good solid 5...6 yrs in him here and being a main fixture

i feel for all those teams.....thats just a sad sack carousel lol

If Schoen signs down south.....Lawler is a lock here...If Schoen is back, on his current deal...or a restructured extended deal...which is likely as his NFL window would effectively be closed now....I still think Lawler is a very likely landing spot...especially if you toss away Ellingson and Bailey's combined total of around 260/270k....You have Schoen..Lawler..Woli and Demski making decent money and an Agodusi/Heiligh or some other possible rookie stud filling in the 5th slot at entry level $$....the metrics work

yup...great value for this yr...and likely next too

which I find odd...as several I talked to...players said he was a dirty p.os...tho he smartened up a bit after the Marion exile....maybe they did some more talking to him to see if he has become more of a pro...but as a decent but not game changing guy in the middle....he should be at most...200k....over pay any way you slice it...if any other team offered him that...I'd say the same....bet he plays 12 games tops for that cash

Pefect value for Demski...he got fair value he was happy with and didnt hold team over barrel like some other former home town guy...that average of 190k means he likely around 170..180k for this yr...which gives us some nice wiggle room for a big splash with someone...I almost think Lawler is here with or with out Schoen...who I believe will also be back....our ability to retain guys for less than market value, but on fair deals they ahppy with to be part of this squad is huge...the players here know it as they play for each other, and do what is needed for overall team success...not just personal glory and lining of pocket I'm betting it prob 185K tops this year...10K bump each of next 2....

I'd say Bailey is the only one who would be a loss...for a multitude of reasons...and his team first mentality and intensity.....that being said....if he was swapped out for a Lewis...Lawler....casualty of war, and he will still be one my fav non Bombers in the league I expect/suspect Walters is gonna make one big splash to wow the league, and another savvy other move to go to camp with this super solid core, and new recruits

hahaha....giant over pays...for decent, but not guys you need to scheme against to nuetralize as best you can...thats what it takes to keep talent in Sask...lotta scratch tied up in some dlineman who really...are easiest position to fill....yet still need at least 3 olinman better than what was there last yr....a QB....2 top line wideouts....DB help.....and no starting Linebackers from last yr signed...what a mess and its funny as heck also has a bad rep around the league as being dirty, and more about himself then team

nope....Oday just showing how clueless he is, and where he needs to focus immediately, and with all he's got....they don't address this area with even 1 big fish this yr...just puts them another year delayed in the process of getting out of that craptacular situation...tho...prob wont be his concern in 2024 as he will have been turfed by then....just a lousy GM who cant see the issues, nor can evaluate talent as I am almost certain they think their guys are actually good.....Looking at their roster last yr, and what they have this yr to date...I don't see a single guy who would have started anywhere else last yr, and be hard pressed to even see a 6th olineman for any other team....let alone starting elsewhere this yr...what a mess....

https://3downnation.com/2023/02/06/saskatchewan-roughriders-make-strong-offer-to-veteran-qb-trevor-harris/ bahahaha....he will be crippled behind that oline by 6 games in...but giver I doubt any of those mentioned there would go there unless severe over pay....and even then if they land 1...or 2....wont fix what ails them...Oday is truly a lousy GM....Prob worst in the league...big lucrative multi yr deal to a 37 yr old QB?...what a tool

Johnson had a solid yr last yr...and I wouldn't be opposed to a stop gap with him this yr...with the Jeff's off the edge..it be a nice combo in my opinion

It's been pretty much par for the course with this regime...hence the prolonged success and professionalism here, and guys wanting/willing to stay if given fair compensation

Bailey and Ellingson money will cover that...Demski and Woli are locked in...Agudosi surely gets a spot...and he is a tenacious dude and loves to do what Bailey does...and on teams too...was a real positive thing about him in NFL camps...just never got the right situ to stick...we also have BOLO who is only gonna improve and has huge upside....and dont sleep on Heilhigh...real sleeper break out guy in making...shocked he was let go from NFL camps...and not just my opinion but of others down south...So if Schoen is back, and even on a restructured deal....we be Aight without Bailey and Ellingson.....a starting group with Lawler..Demski...Woli..Schoen and Agudosi with Bolo..Grant...Heiligh all possibly on roster...behind that oline with Brady O tenderizing the meat, and ZC doing his thing is gonna give teams fits....like who do u cover or double team and not get roasted by someone else? I never doubted it...Demski is a different personality than Harris, and less of for a lack of a better word baby when it comes to certain things...and is more of a FIFO guy than Harris...he gace us some good yrs...helped us get the monkey off our backs, but he also wasnt as FIFO as many are led to believe...and thats from inside the locker room...not just speculation yeah I think even last yr was touch and go if he was gonna continue
