Booch

Taman had no scouting acumen or any connections whatsoever, this I know....majority of his "finds" were players telling him to check out this guy...bring in that guy... Gavin Walls was a guy dropped on his lap...Tman didnt even wanna bring him to camp, and finally gave in to pressure, but claimed he wouldn't make it out of camp Charles Roberts too...reluctantly agreed to bring him to camp...said he would never last a season, and also his hands were too small and would be a fumble machine...this is just 2 examples...and what do u expect tho from a guy who never played...coached...and was a inhouse promotion from waterboy I believe when he first got into football...nice guy...but horrible G.M He also had no clue to navigate the SMS and it was pawned off on Hodgkinson I think...cant remember at moment as just got back from dental surgery and am on some "meds" lol

Desjarlais was the one guy who I figured we had most risk to lose, at least until mid season....guess we will see

yeah...they thought #1990 was just the best thing ever...even though we had more than double their cup total haha

4 cups ..ever ..total...over 100 yrs....nuff said Even clinging to their #1990 we still had what..6 or 7 more? Now we have 3 times as many...sad lol

I think he has a 6 game leash..at most

Well..Jones is stating obvious and only place that disagrees is RF .com...and prob the management of riders..but they stuck with him on a crappy deal so they need to act enthusiastic. And that article...yup...garbage...and if anything shows ineptitude and poor talent assessments of that regime...and also the fact a lot of players don't like being there..and get out as soon as they able to.

They way I see it..Collaros led league in TD throws... efficiency....wins...2 grey cups...is what..18-2...as a starter with us....minimal interceptions other than the wtf going on In playoffs So basically...musta made a lot of bigtime throws....and was top of his league as he did win a reward did he not? Haha

With Harris as well...if he wants to play it will be for less than...or at the same amount (at most) wherever he lands. Aging RB...had injuries last yr tho in my opinion just an anomoly...he won't get that too teir amount he used too..it may be highest in league at his position but won't be the 200k+ He also won't go elsewhere if offered slightly more than here..and as others have said we won't let him walk over contract issue ..if he continues playing it's here or nowhere.

Thing tho with rotations now...not just with us is dlines get heavy rotation...he prob gets equal or close to equal with the "starters" here And to be a full starter a team would need a capabke Canadian sub...so rep wise he gets quite a bit here..and not just off the edge...he's in a good spot...but...again...who knows what will occur

Desjarlais and Stove will require probably the more substantial bumps. Hardick..Neuf..BRyant can conceivably take same pay..they at top teir now..possibly Yoshi a slight bump..but if offered a fair deal..with prospect of playoof cash..they not leaving Also not sure why people think jeffcoat is making peanuts...he's not...not sure where that story developed. If any of the dlineman might be a risk to leave cause we can't offer enough to bridge with possible playooff money it's Kongbo...but I also think it needs to be b.c to lure him..and even then I coukd see him staying for 15 to 20k less here

Harris injuries tho were just **** happens in football injuries..nothing from age and body breakdown...if he wants to play he will and most likely plays a full year injury free save for the usual knocks and bumps..he has been injury free basically his whole career..he was due for some.. Jeffcoat...NFL talk on boards is just that..slim and none..he had his NFL window already..and he actually older than Willie...he is cfl lifer now..and he isn't coming off rookie deal...it's his 3rd contract so his increase isn't exponential..plus he wants to stay here..and will stay here with a fair offer Resigning our guys we want won't be an issue...as we..as well as other teams made this dance already..but I can bet u that this yr u will see many 2 yr..possible 3 yr deals signed..already have. I also can see all 3 NI running backs here as well...

And was in serious decline when he last played as well...him back would actually be a downgrade from what was there this yr..If u can imagine that

I don't see the cats escaping the east in 2022

With no real solutions anytime soon unless they way overspend on at least 3 online positions...basically screwing up rest of roster...a weak one at that as it hasn't gotten it done last 3 years..and their core is not getting younger or have infinite upside...it is what it is

people just need to accept and realize...that this Bomber team was just flat out good...they kinda sucked the pooch in the 2 playoff games (well sucked for them) and still walked off with all the hardware...and really....should have had rookie of the yr as well...expect more of same next yr

yeah but Edam..Purifoy..Marshall and Gainey are must re-signs for the big grey cup yr...oh yeah..they sucked last 2 and couldnt get it done...continue on sucka's

and if video replay was around..would have a had a key play in their favour overturned

MCmanus and Goevia extended through 2023 which is nice for consistency

Taylor is a bit older..but in phenomenal shape...and played strong all yr....If he's back, and as good as last yr...I'm more than happy while one or two of the rookies test their luck for a yr down south..Nichols has had time too..so not sure what his PR eligibility left is...he may need to make a active roster, or be he's out And a workout doesn't mean a contract offer...time will tell

hahah...I can be long winded too...especially when worked up lol

yup...couldnt have said that better...lol

yes thats it

they have a lot of better players that they wouldnt want over the Bomber counterpart...but cant seem to beat us....weird...haha i just sit back and chuckle, and realize i have physically seen with my own eyes 5 grey cup victories...and I am under 50 yrs old....no rider fan dead or alive has seen more than 4...ever...and moist alive have seen what 3 at most....sad

yup...we be good...we also have that monster in the NCAA this yr too...do we not?

yup..we have depth to manage losses....I fully expected Desjarlais...so having Gray and ELI who could start for any team already around takes that sting away, and makes them easier to resign. Same with DB's...we can still have solid core of returnees even if we lose both rookies, so resigning of Darby, Jones, Taylor...eases that pain...have to remember Darby can play either corner or halfback, and very well.....so if Maston is ready, and able...easy transition...I doubt we lose both DB's tho, and I think Alfords slight frame will not help him...but could be a one yr loss ala Rose... So if we star a Rose Taylor BA Darby Jones secondary with Maston at sam...we be fine...we also could have Houston and Miller both back too..I assume they both on 2 yrs deals no?...rookies in the league? Or was Houston on IR/PR at end of yr...which is still a big nothing burger, and sure he an easy resign
