Booch

part of the big pick is our insistence, and trait of guys flooding to the ball.....loafers and slackers, and lazy me first guys on the field...we dont make that pick

THEY don't...and even without those big albatross salaries....fixing the Oline in free agency ain't happening...they may be able to get one guy...but thats it, also all teams who have good o-lineman tend to do whatever to retain them, all u can get are grossly over payed Americans...good luck with Canadians...their O-line rebuild is still several years in the making yet....I don't see any real blue chippers in their current starting Canucks...or on the PR....If they were any better they would have been in the lineup...

yup, not worried one bit this off season....nope....not a bit

Oday also said today they hope to bring back a lot of the team....ouch....thats gotta sting for the fans...bringing back a lot of the guys who couldn't get it done 2 years in a row now That being said, wonder who we extend prior to January...we Know Kyle usually has some of the year SMS cash hanging around for bonus money for the following season that technically is on this seasons books

I think yeah he had the sophmore jinx...That being said...If Sask was smart they would sign him and put the pins to the Faj....they would at least get to extend the field, and Evans isn't just a one read and run for your life QB like the Faj...He's a one read guy, and it's not due to a crappy oline and no time

yup

Desjarlais will be here, or trying in NFL...we wont let him go Jeffcoat as well....he isn't making chump change as it is...so his bump wont be massive...he's going into his 3rd contract. Also remember....that possible extra 15 to 35k for playoff money goes a long way. Eli won't have border issues, and I would be shocked if he is not back, and not vaxxed.... Assuming that Josh Johnson and his vet salary is gone, tho I sure not huge, but still significant, and if we retain Rose, I could see Taylor getting the SMS axe unless he takes a shave, as I am sure we are gonna try to lock up Darby...he seems to love it here, and with Nichols and Alford (if we don't lose him to NFL) on rookie deals we could conceivably have him and Mike Jones back for next year...which would be huge...I am not including BA in the convo as he I am sure is a lock to be back, and we have BA money already factored into the 2022 mix...and we work around it with the DB's....Not sure about Maston, but coming off injury he may be relegated to a bargain deal this year regardless where he gets offers, so expect him back too. Certainly we are gonna lose someone of great value, has to happen you would think, but we do have depth to cover it, as well as now proven scouting and strong drafts...I'm not worried as all teams in similar situation, and a good majority needed upgrades to what they had so will splurge, or try to on the shiny objects and it will have ripple effect...only so much money to go around in the league...so once the big wads get spent, a lot of really good guys are gonna have to sign somewhere for less than they made, or the same amount..thats just the economics Therein is where I think we have a huge advantage....guys wanna stay here, be here, or come here, and knowing if we have the legit shot to get to at least the WF..possible Grey Cup again..well thats money to players and a draw, not to mention the way they treated here, and the culture..we gonna be alright

I think tho part of it was he was hurt...he hurt his ribs on the touchdown to darvin in o.t chipping a defensive end in pass protection...u can see him almost double over in pain...and O'Leary orange came in for extra point...and who btw was wide open to score it if Zack saw him...woukda been nice for a total unknown to score that

U forgot 2011....and agreed...was funny for other fanbase's to see our failures and drought...no sympathy from me either....

I'm not too concerned of any retirements...I sense they all want that dynasty tag attached to them.

I always in town....I moved back here in 2006 lol Rewatching that 4th quarter...Woli was huge...his catches and blocking

damn...we were able to beat every team in the league this yr except them damn pesky Redblacks!!

cant see Hall quitting yet.....why would he?

could see Taylor on the outs due to his age, tho you would never know he was a 33 soon to be 34 yr old DB, as for the 2 rookies...they are signed into 22' on rookie deals, so they are a non-issue As for the young Olineman...they won't get double elsewhere...Couture will already be on his 3rd contract, so his bump won't be super drastic...Gray I believe is signed through 22'...and He isn't making a low end standard rookie deal...so again his bump won't be drastic. Harris....I doubt he walks away, and I could see him take a shave, and even be used in more of a rotation. And if thats the case would make a shave more acceptable. Willie has even said....offer him something fair, and he's good to go, and seeing as they wanna put down roots here, I don't see him going anywhere, and his boy Jackson I am sure will be resigned....the one I worry about is Kongbo...hopefully the culture/lockeroom bond etc is enough to keep him here for a bit less..if not, I see him back home to B.C.....Jake may ride out into the sunset now...2 time champ...would allow some spare $$ for Kongbo Curious about Darvin...The fire is still there....still only 32 next yr...will he take a 3rd receiver type salary shave to stay....he seems like the type to do that...guess we will see but two playoffs in a row hey was very vital, and is the leader....lotsa questions for sure....gonna be an interesting off-season

yup....he is slight and smallish....may be our saving grace....if he not tho.....being back on a rookie deal is huge for retaining guys for 2022....same with Nichols....

tho not super old...as was just a teeanager in 84/88....but this squad is the best all around and dominant that I have seen....and the bond they have, and how they are just a perfect group is very odd...and not the norm...people talk about tight rooms, culture a lot...a lot of times it's more lip service than actuality, but this is realllllly different....from being in many a room, knowing past and present players....this is truly someting out of the norm, and so huge.....factor in the talent on top of it.....it's something to behold U can bring it to the bank that we will have guys stray here for less next yr....Willie..Biggie...Stanley and a couple othwers have set the standard and the bar for this.....pay me whats fair.....and they will pay u back with cups and rings saw a cool tweet...12th cup...on the 12th day...of the 12th month...we were destined to win this...so....winning the 13th in the house of the "13th man"....book it!

yeah...that team as it is now has just had the window slammed shut on it....sucks for the fanbase, as we were just there, but to see mouthpiece Lawrence....whiny quitter Banks and dirty Dylan Wynn miss their shot....was better than actually winning it almost Culture here, the brotherhood...obviously the winning helps.....but also the way players and their families are treated here, the professional environment that many a layer likens to how the NFL does business, is what will keep guys here, and buddies of players on other teams inquiring, and wanting to be here....truth to it all...if there is a guy we are targeting in free agency, and it works fiscally for our structure...u can bet that we land them.....before...not so much unless we wayyyy over payed

nope...these guys are tight...and will be talking....i cant see anyone we want to retain bolting to another CFL team....our only significant losses should be due to NFL and or retirement...but I truly don't see any retirements.....they all want one more run, and nobody who is of later age who may consider it won't hinder us performance wise next year....win or lose tho next yr, I can see a couple walking away

Bryant I am certain will be back....Even in his talk with Bauming he alluded to it if you listen closely Jeffcoat NFL window is done...and he won't leave here...we will work it out, These guys wanna be a dynasty, and I truly believe they will sacrifice to make it happen Biggie isn't retiring, and I highly doubt Harris is....He's on the cusp of 10 000 yards so no way he hangs them up...Maybe he takes a bit of hometown discount to keep the team together Collaros....it wouldnt shock to see him walk away on top...but I think he has a big fire in him still, and is truly happy playing again.,.U see it in him, so I see him back Lawler may get a look, but he also has already, and isnt super young anymore and there are tons of guys like him down south and in the draft every year....Bailey is a lifer here Alford I think may be the one to get a sniff...hope not....but he' earned it....Rose will be back....BA...Hopefully Darby...Mike jones and Nichols I am sure, and Mercy could be back at sam...so Darby and his versatility could be back at corner or half I think we will be able to retain all the guys we want...and then some

Bailey...Lawler..Mike Jones..Eli...Grant...Hallet...Brady...a whole group of em got here at perfect time...same with the lil mexican DB.... and that 30k in extra end of yr playoff cash will be a big help and equalizer to bring lotta guys back...If someone outbids us and offers 10..20..25k more to leave....I bet they wont..I think these guys wanna stay together regardless and will take fair pay to stay anyway....many did this yr

exactly.....also Edam and Purifoy could be tossed away.....and Oline...man to fix it fast will cost huge bucks, and rob you elsewhere....and even the inhouse guys now to groom don't look to be all-star calibre.....512K hanging around the Faj's neck hurts them too....I also think head coach and his inability to reign in that team hurts them...tho a better locker room could fix that to a degree...they need a lot of help at reviever too...I don't think Williams is an answer there...guys a knob and not a locke room guy...or character one for that matter...Powell too should be moved on from....and a revamp of linebackers....lotta work needed there to turn them around as legit contender....Calgary next year is gonna be a tougher team, as I am sure the esks will be too yeah...that stadium is bare bones generic cheapie....noting about it visually screams high end or even professional....wide open grandstands like that sitting out in open on the shores of a huge lake....dumb

yeah...but he still gets a cup win and a ring...big part of the team...never said he was there

relying on 50/50 ball success as your offence being successful is just bad anyway....he can't do much past 12-15 yards, and at 30 next year....it won't improve.....they definitely have blinders on there seeing Faj as the "guy" If they were smart they would go all in on Masoli next year...he needs a change now from the Hammer and he could do more there than the Faj yup....could be our Medlock 2.0....and he seems to be happy here....and having him do both, gives us that extra roster player...can allow us to have Grey and Eli dressed everygame....

yeah....I tink we kept to the script...the O-line in the 4th buckled down....and was wearing out the Ticat defense...they hung in there way longer than I expected, but I knew we would grind them down....same with pass protection..Zack had a good pocket all 4th

well....maybe they can cross over.....and come outta the east to meet us as the Home team...In their dressing room at IG West...and have us complete the full compliment of first in our other stadium.......First Grey Cup win there...with Suitor having to call it....that would be the best 3peat scenario....ever!
