Booch

I'm thinking thats a pretty positive given..He wants to win now also..much better chance here If KW lands this big tuna id say our off season was a resounding success..even if thats all we do

Broxton and Stan...Randolph at guard..with Eli centering...Wallace to take over Eli role and grow...whats not to like there...BO i sure is salivating at that prospect

I think we got the best all around use guy..and one ZC likely meshes with the best We have 2 legit intruiging talents we need to actually develop and grow with their ups and downs.. Wilson is already about to I bet become a top 3 in the league...only do many balls to go around...the fact we have a real o.c this yr is prob the biggest get...a real one last yr could have got way more outta or offence but we got saddled with an Osh pick and a right dud

As a player...he would have been gone off any other roster prob 3..4 yrs ago...at best end roster guy standing around all game in case the other DT's went out...would never had reps at end like here over actual ends either...his lifeline was Osh I'm sure hes a swell guy..but that doesn't constitute playing time.. and sure he worked hard and was a good teammate.. who here didnt or wasnt? Again...not a reason for a 4 yr free ride...the ire he got was justified as he basically sucked for yrs..and i guess osh is to blame partly for that as he enabled it We've seen a lot of Osh's picks too...player and coach...and some were pathetic and unjustified too...proof is in the puddin that Osh makes a lot of bad picks But like I said earlier...won't make or break us...just a dumb mercy hire really Who got the least amount of reps then..when he was actually somewhat adequate for spelling guys off? That why was solid...yrs later and half the adequate player he was...he got lions share...plus reps at end over actual ends...do explain the science of that

I have a hard time seeing that as earned tho either..and is a kick to the corn flakes to actual coaches working and putting in the time at varying levels And I not a grumpy senior lol...but coach..train and see what coaches do...could care less how a middling dt acted during his career...irrelevant... I do have a mean streak tho 😁 Nah...he can still play at top level...its durability and stagnating depth behind him Its Kramdi who def isnt best option for SAM...is not needed for ratio and is gonna be our second highest paid defender likely

I was gonna say...grab him and convert him into an offensive do whatever tool....motion pre snap....split out back with BO....cause we all know with ball in hand...what he can do...and being a National....what a bonus....I'd have him taking kicks too to see if he has the chops for that

That's key...White and Demski both know where to go...where to sit down...where and when to break off routes...Things that ZC thrives with and had basically none of that last yr...and it was dwindling in 2024 as well...especially when it was easy to blanket out Demski...and he still tried to force it...hence the INT's....Be a good litm=us test in camp and early into season as to what ZC shows up...He always thrives with veteran groups who still have skill.....Demsko and White both do...Wilson is coming into his own and already has ZC trust and some goodmojo yup...a guy to really push Wallace and or bump him into the ELI role...Randolph is gonna be one the best RT in league...is already close...I not too concerned with Bryant and Neuf either...older olineman are fine as long as not dealing with issues like Elwonibi was late in his last 2 yrs Also a crisp fast running offence with guys at WR where ZC doesnt have to think or try and find but know and trust that they will be where they supposed to will make a huge difference too...especially with a healthy BO tenderizing the meat all game yeah...he has the tools and the skill set to really be a difference maker here...I hope we give him every opp to secure that job...even if it means growing pains a bit the first few games...and he wont need to be the focus early on in the offence....but a complimentry piece that teams will have to pay attention to

For what our dline coach has to do really I guess he will be fine...With vets like Lawson..WJ and hopefully a Ceresna they dont need Thomas' tutelage..as there is nothing he could offer them...and any young guy can get things passed on by them too The x and o part will come from Younger anyway...and some from Stanley...Thomas will add nothing there...it was essentially a mercy hire that won't make or break our season...was still dumb tho...and a slap in face of any up an coming coach in the CIS ranks or NCAA who has been putting in the work

Wilson is very underrated..for now...he is actually quite fast and he is greasy as hell out there after the catch...and for a slight guy can be physical too Like I said in other post..i think Banks is that guy in waiting...and Condell will definitely know how to use a guy like that...and with main 3 guys Banks won't have to do too much right outta the gate and can evolve as yr goes on... A real center will be light yrs better and be a total game changer

I truly think that Banks can be that guy for us and give way more than Wheatfall did...dude could be a big mismatch for dbs

yeah was gonna say same thing haha

He was signed in 2026 so all his goes to 2026 sms..and yeah he gets 75k upfront

And we gonna get White in at 225k which is good value for a guy still in top tier of WR in league...I think walters is gonna have the ability to toss some sheckles around in FA More I look at it I hope we get proactive and toss some at Cersesna sooner than later

I'm more concerned based on history that osh won't play backups or rotational guys nearly enough..so no development or progression let alone trust or know what they can do...and play clearly injured guys...or his favs ...same ol same ol Hope I wrong...but

hoping so...and as he doesnt have to be "the guy" can ease into it and grow

part of reason why he landed with us....by time they rescinded and allowed him to be able to play....most teams were already set...so to speak...Legit talent that we lucky to have scooped Was no big issue

Grey Cup week...lol....if being honest

White I think offers us a lot, and expect a really good yr from him....He has big play ability and will garner attention so he makes Wilson's and Demski's job easier...Would I have preferred Mack...yeah but White was the next best consistent proven guy, who Condell will know how to use I agree with @Mike tho not the type guy we needed, that being said I fully expect the guy flying under the radar in Jahmal Banks to take over Wheatfalls spot and would be shocked he not on roster....Withe solid guys in Wilson..Demski and now White going to need attenion he can be nicely eased in and give that big downfield strike abilkity with ZC's certain contested balls, plus he can play the underneath game too

Basically...and the yrs prior tothe Walters architecture of 2019-2022.....He had a foot out the door as well to be looking for work That and he views players with backward assessment/success and not forward thinking/looking....until it's way too late And yeah it's the CFL and all....But his Canadian bias too is a weak point and handcuffs our roster with at times not the best option when it doesnt have to be that way

Injury prone isnt really a thing unless its a brittle bone situation...its more s guy has been unlucky/unfortunate Eberhardt be a good compliment to a guy like Mack who can be the downfield and over top threat Wilson I think is what Eberhardt would give us already...but better...we need a bigger dynamic guy to compliment what we have. Id even kick Rhymes tires if we strike out everywhere as well as either him or Mack would be beneficial for ZC with what I expect numerous ducks ..floaters and throws wuth the wtf was that about tag If we could land a Gittens or Brisett to go with Demski...Clercius in a rotational role and yeah gonna say it..Woli as depth and bring some that old leadership and attitude back as well being ZC security blanket we could have a real good offence and control the clock

and u had 1 decent yr...not a priority signing in their mind which is smart....and best not be landing here When Mack...White....Rhymes...Eberhardt...Brisset are available...Is Gittens still a FA?? I thought Johnson was younger...29 hardly old but I thought he was like 25..26

YEAH...true, as seen here that coaching has rostered questionable players I know you are a Osh fan, and I can say yes he was a huge part of that success (can't be denied) but was also a bigger part of the flops too, as he had final say

GM yes I believe has final say....or should....that being said Osh has too much sway...was even reported as such, and Walter's even has been on record more or less saying Osh has had hissy fit/temper tantrums about roster...that is not a good thing, and needed to be rectified. We need the G.M to do his jib, and H.C to do his from what the G.M gives him....I dont think thats 100 percent how it's going here, and it's obvious from what we witnessed last few yrs...but when you have buddies all in the role they have here...those defined lines get blurred Walter's prob succumbed to the whining that if you pooch Jake and Kolo....I want this player...or that player kinda thing...and again...bad management all around really tho....thats a poor argument that if Osh was coaching those teams they'd have won, because of amy of those coaches had been in control of the 2022-2025 teams...we prob have 3 more cup wins One the yrs u cited we had the QB go out in EF and also got boned on 2 calls in the pre-review era another a kicker who couldnt hit broad side of a barn and a RB who was essentially still drunk come game day....

nope....Truth bomb haha

Less than ZC lol...I kid...
