Booch

Yeah...we weren't pegged as favs...most had us battling for 3rd...lost too much in secondary..questions about backup qb and recieving corp...too old...

No diff than the green board...at least around here u dont get the baseless posts on nothing slagging a team or player..

Seems like it...he was a key piece in 2019 that solidified the defense and not like he an old retread...turned 29 last November

If Evans gets his game back....when Moore gets back...mid season...and if Schaefer Baker has a second solid season..kinda flamed out last part of season...and who's the other Canadian reciever and back up? Even Duke..let's see if in he Duke of 2018.. I'd take Bailey ..Ellingson ..Demski or whitehead..Burnham..Rhymes over their top 3...same with Weineke..Lewis..and Whatever their 3rd is And then...online..what did they do to improve that pile of crap? Nothing...and their dline just got gutted and no clear replacement.

Really....going into last yr we weren't the favorite...everyone was saying cats again....Riders were the team in the west...u till those teams played us.. then the narrative changed and most critics wised up We going in just as strong .. especially on defence...we didnt start with a Rose or Wilson...same with Nichols...we are this yr...Stove didn't define us...and our defence with whomever is in his spot will be more than adequate for us to get off running this yr Maston and Darby is a wash...if anything Maston brings more physicality which will be nice until BA makes his appearance...and what a mid season addition that will be...it will be just like an NFL guy getting back...and it could coincide with a Kongbo sighting. Same can be said on offence... cohesion and familiarity we have in spades...Ellingson will fit in seemlessly as he and ZC have history...and he knows how to attack CFL defenses...so at worst we playing 1 new guy (reciever) to our system and league in general...again...we will hit the ground running while other teams gotta learn all the new pieces.

yeah....we can easily replace the rushing totals...Harris got us 623 yards....Oliveira totalled 429...and that wasnt all in starts....JA got 285 yards...in only 1 true start....thats 714 yards....now give them both a full season lugging the rock...we will be top 2 in team rushing...again

I kind of agree with you....Chris Jones and his "I'm the smartest man in the room" shtick got old fast before, and sure it will bite him again.....and no slight on Lawler, but would love to see Ellingson produce more, and roll into Grey Cup as he misses playoffs...or at best is trounced in the semi...on the road......and I see both scenarios occurring too

yup....pretty much

I'm not concerned in the least with our defense as we are in a better place now, then we were going into 2021....Stove played half the reg season and we still won, and getting back Wilson improved the run defense just as much if not more than Stove coming back Also we had no Rose...no Nichols who ended up league all-star, and needed to find 2 new DB's...at very worst...and this isnt a bad thing we will have Glass...a proven starter at boundary...experience all across the board this summer for DB's...BA will hurt being out, but have the utmost faith we will fill that spot without an issue. Same with offence...sure we lost Lawler, but Ellingson will replace what we lost there...dude has sick hands and makes crazy how did he make that grabs...Bailey is gonna be better, and we just need to replace what Adams brought to the table...but even then we have 3 legit 1000 yard potential guys as it is, along with Woli, so that 5th option doesn't necessarily need to be a expensive pickup...he wont see a lot of balls unless we unearth some stud. JABO combo has shown they can gain yards, gonna be durable with split reps, especially behind our oline, so really...other than Harris experience in backfield we not missing much, not like both are first and second yr guys.....and age of our oline with a 31..33 and 36 yr old isnt concerning...if anything all 3 elevated their play last year, and as olineman go...28 to 34..35 is primetime...Bryant is an anomaly tho...even at 35 last yr was lights out...and expect the same this yr

what a knob

said acl...but didnt look that bad....seemed fine afterward tho did have a bit of a limp days after...if only a partial tear and not needing complete rebuild....could be faster than you would expect...if he had it replaced and got it done in december...I'd say August sounds about right if no set backs

Mcknight...think Terry Vaughn mold/body type/skill package...maybe thats what the staff see's in him...not saying he's the next Vaughn...but he looks like a Vaughn....and all guys start out from nothing...and from nowhere...look at Bailey's 2019 stat line....certainly didnt scream stud in waiting by any stretch

Kongbo played very solid for us...way underrated for what he did for us...I would assume too...Him and Walters shook hands and had a pretty strong agreement that we have his place back here if he gets cut...just like last time

2 yrs....nice!! people worried about what we doing...why so quiet...well we just locked up the most impactful DB that was in free agency, the 2 best DE's...2 best OT's...Best MLB...Top Corner, Top young Canadian RB...thats what we doing

who is the starting 7?....Teitz and Shaker Baker are prob the ones above avg....3 crappy O-lineman....and??..Edam...what else?.....eeegads

Grant generally waits till no NFL opportunity, and thi prob his last stab...and his salary wont be huge anyway unless he starts to be integrated into offence Hansen is a given...and all Global guys make the same..so it now a matter of being outbid...and why would he leave??

Money Hunter took over for him when he got injured, after that and was healthy didnt get back on game day roster

Started first 7 then was in injured list...

probably corner candidate to take over Alfords spot, as thats where he has played the majority, if not all of his starts

solid signing...3 yr vet.....knows the game...

he is still a dangerous returner....cant deny him that...

Bouka...Canadian DB left Ssk for Cgy....Thats not good for their already weak National depth

and Johnny

yup....we easily eclipse 1000 yards on ground this yr with those 2, and the Demski and Bailey runs....easyyyyy

There was talk in camp last year, that Harris did indeed come into camp out of shape...thats not new news...maybe not blabbed about in the papers/online....but it is a fact And maybe he has lost the fire to put in the 365 day a yr work now at his age, or maybe isnt able to, and the Team wanted to see where he was at so they don't go through the same thing again....and yes....players notice when guys don't do the weekly grind, yet still play in season...vet...or not.... Can guarantee one thing tho.....Augustine will come to camp in phenomenal shape....like he has every year and work like a dog...he's earned his payday and shot at being a feature back...or par of a 1a/1b scenario, and u know Oliveira gonna come in and do everything to take the torch of the new Hometown back.
