Booch

we need a vet...and Strev...who the vet will be is the million dollar question I can't see tho if Zack isn't signed prior to free agency that why we would have to give up a pick then...cause he is a free agent then...If BC or Sask or whoever signed him if not us wouldn't be giving up no pick..Pretty sure that only is if we sign him before he gets to free agency

I doubt Mass gets a HC for a while..too volatile and not a good leader

well if he is willing to sign for even less...all the better..helps us all over the roster in that case...sure gonna be interesting

Rick Campbell will take over for Edm...you can take that to the bank

Hey..I agree....with Collaros running things there was a real sense of we got this on second downs and not a lot of stress/worrying...was it Lapo changing things a bit..was it Nichols limitations, or mental headspace in not wanting to take a risk, or make an error...who knows...Maybe now seeing what Zack did, and the fact that Lapo can take the reigns off he will sling it more...he does have arm for it Thing is though..we may not even be able to get the option to sign Zack, he may not give it to us and I wouldn't even be shocked if he has a verbal with T.O already So much gonna go on in the next 2-3 months will be interesting to say the least

But if he has no intention of not signing here but in T.O then he's out of the question Arbuckle is not the answer and a huge risk...he's a second year QB with minimal experience...So Matt may be the best choice as we season Strev...

I was shooting at what would prob be the high mark...he will get a bump from last year from his what?..450k??...but I could see him too not holding out for huge money, he knows coming off injury he can't really Nichol's executed it just as well...high efficiency just not as many deep shots as Collaros....but both were able to do this because they were Vet's with tons of experience in the CFL and can decipher things immediately and know all the looks pre-snap and how to attack...or not attack. Streveler will get there...it takes time...he's in his 3rd yr next year, so it's his do or die season in showing he is gonna be legit...all legit starters plodded along pretty indiscreetly for 2..3..4..years before they became legit..Strev has seen..done..and accomplished a lot in his first 2 years moreso than most...he also has the respect and dedication to him from his teamates..which is huge and goes a long way

that be my guess...and work for peanuts but whatever ahahaha

Maybe ol sly fox Lapo was setting everyone up all year??...lol....but yeah...gutsy coaching all around..

If Matt is back...which I think he will be, we will be fine. Is it optimal?..well in my opinion in whats available yes I think so. Though he tends to seem immobile and throws it away at first sign of trouble, thats not 100 percent correct. I think that the last month or so the offence evolved into one that realized it can push and should push a ball...Matt can make deep throws...he has shown that and more liberal Streveler with Matt (which I know both would be open to if it results in what we just accomplished) can be just as effective as what Collaros and Strev did With Zack...he has now brought himself back into the 550K+ or more neighborhood....but..and big but...I still believe he is at major risk to be one good Simoni away from being on the shelf again...even though he showed otherwise for us..we kept him clean, but you can't count on that all year, and to sign Atrev back as wel...which we should be he is gonna need close to 150-200k possibly incentive laden so we are looking at prob 750 to 800k for them. We can prob get Matt coming off injury at 500k max..he doesn't garner more than that especially off injury and I think the day of the 700-800k QB was an anomally and teams saw how it can hinder you in the grand scheme..Hello BC A Strev/Nichols combo would prob have us in a combined 650-700k total, that 50-100k surplus can go a long way to bumping up extensions for guys like Rose..Jefferson..Sayles..Bryant.. The Arbuckle love is rolling the dice..he was decent but not other worldly and still green...as was Dane Evans and look what happened when film was out on him to be studied for a big game, and he seen schemes that he wasn't familiar with, the pressure coming at him from all areas, not to mention the pressure of the big game...he wilted..crumpled...did not lead..he looked just like he was...a back-up inexperienced QB...Why do you think the Cat's have gone on record saying they want Masoli back??... Look what experience and been there done that does in regards to Collaros...vet experience...seen it all before...limited time with the team and he went in and won...He got put on a good team..within a good system, wasn't asked to do it all himself (as shown by his stats) and won a Cup Same can happen with Matt, as much as many hate on him, he was 7-2 when he got hurt (should have been 8-1 if not for that T.O collapse) so he can win...as shown by his record since Banjo Bowl 2016 when he took over

Totally true..I as well have a lot of knowledge with PED's as I was very involved with it...using..as well as administering and creating programs for others (i know bad me but it was a different time and encouraged by teams) As soon as I heard the initial reports on what it was I knew it was BS...and to even get that one now it's risky because no reputable company even makes it...and any legit version is black market...and even then you are taking a risk with whats in it, and the majority is garbage and dangerous...You'de have to be very VERY stupid to even consider that one.

Yeah the crowd chanting "we got your back" was awesome..

Harris said today that after when he head busted Lawrence on the second play that he knew right there the game was over..they had it

Yeah the foundation and environment players wanna be in..and thrive in is firmly established now..we are finally in maintenance mode now

Eli was one of the top..if not the top center prospect coming out of the NCAA going into his final year until he got hurt...was a true 3 year starter and sure fire NFL draft pick...but then stories came about he was done...and fell off radar...was pure luck McManus was married to family of his...and then Eli had some chats..and rediscovered he had the bug to play, but nobody knew...we got a steal of epic proportions on that one..

go to the about 1hr:30min part of video above

Yup...he can never do another thing here and would go down as an all-time great in the minds of fans..love me some Strev..

well...we won the cup...so mission accomplished with bringing him here I guess..

considering he took less to come here from other offers...

I've heard twice since he came back...but don't quote me as 100 percent on that And not to open an old can of worms but the apparent roid is old school bulking agent..used only in off-season and does nothing for a skilled position guy..totally takes your aerobic capacity away..oh well...like he said haters gonna hate

just too fricken funny

the last 4-5 games he really came on..I think he played knicked up most the year

he signed a 3 yr ext did he not?

hangin them up?

I don't think he's slept since sunday hahaha
