Booch

I wouldn't mind seeing Buck bumped up to OC..and Damon Allen brought on board as QB/receivers coach rtpe role..and help in game planning like Buck was for Lapo He wants to get into coaching..obviously has ties with Osh as a former teammate and would be good for a guy like Strev...If i was Walter's and Osh..that's what I would be working on..and what better team to join than defending Grey Cup champs

Darvin inwoukd hope is back..adds the grit in the corp and hopefully Lawler..Bailey take next step..even Whitehead or one if the new guys coming in..we still need a vet presence out there tho so Darvin would fit that nicely as the number 2 guy..or 3

I dunno..if not I'd like if we targeted him

A dart is a dart.. lol.. he also threw a nice ball for a comebacker where only Lawler could get it..something that a guy who "cant" pass would have biffef

They did just an RB who could make some noise..and their oline wssnt putrid..just their QB..they also have 2 american receivers who are studs..

Well that system was highest scoring last few years..and just won a Cup...so...

Wow...call me shocked..but happy Must be more going on there behind the scenes then being let known..hopefully a good guy like Khari doesn't suffer cause of it. If I was a betting man..Step right up Mr Chris Jones...he will be dumped in 3 games

why you say thtat?..Him and Pinball are pals don't you know...rumour has it he wants to go there and be the DC/ST coordinators, cause he played there and has ties there, and the buddy thing and all...cmon man! Also according to Riderfan's Kyle is difficult to work for...

If we announce Oshea Extended, Buck promoted and extended, Hall back along with all the other Assistants then it will be a very good off-season, Lapo loss won't be hard to over come, same with Rigmaden...that one hurts but not end of world, and a lot of his work the last 2 years will come to fruition this and next year anyway..so we good

I think so as well as Matt knows Lapo's system and what he runs and would be a more seamless transition there for Lapo than have a new guy learn it and excel at it right outta the gate, and he certainly doesn't want to start off 0-5 or similar record coming off a 3-15 season

pretty much yup...may also mean Dinwiddie wants his guy too...Arbuckle...things gonna get interesting

well now people can relax and accept the fact Osh was going to be back...even though they haven't heard any news...guy is meticulous about his job and been busy with year end stuff

of the 3 guys available...excluding Masoli whomever we land we will be fine with Strev...and even with say just Strev...playing him as a QB first if he is our only option with McGuire behind him..we still have a good year and get in play-offs...I'm not worried one bit on the offensive side of the ball

not neccessariy...I just tend to not post negative things on certain individuals..as I wouldn't appreciate that being bantered about..I do say things that aren't all rosey at times, but don't feel the need to much As for Strev, I've discussed him and revisited his film from South Dakota and the last 2 years here with recruitors/scouts/coaches in the U.S at the camps I get involved with and they all say the same, he has progressed a lot, and needs what was mentioned in his pre-draft evaluation (which he is getting here) and that is patience and work within a system suited to him. Christ he's been here hardly 2 years and has done more in those 2 years than a lot of past/former back-ups that came to Canada over 3..4..5 years You have to remember he was wayyyy under experienced coming in to camp and there was a lot of things he has had to be coached up with that he never had been before..and by all accounts has taken it in and ran with it (no pun intended) immediately...is a very quick study. He hasn't had quality QB coaching...let me rephrase that "much" quality coaching and that's what he needed, and time to develop what he's taught...the main thing that kept him out of the NFL radar..teams don't have the time and money to invest in that in how the current nfl works, and would much rather someone else do it for them..Hello CFL Interesting point to mention though that everyone who I have talked to about this situation with football pedigrees pretty much universally asked "wtf was Lapo trying to accomplish with him, and was on a quick path to ruining him) A sentiment I agree with...there I don't say things always trending on the optimistic Also he had opportunities to attend some TC's as a camp arm, or a receiver/hybrid but turned it down..3 offers I am aware of...

it was a bad luck injury...and have seen it many times..I actually thought it was a broken collar bone, but not an injury that resulted from something pre-existing, or from being weak/fragile...that notion needs to be stuffed away

Yeah both he and Collaros got 200k+ upfront bonuses before, and doubt they ever see that again, it's automatically up against your cap and if they get ko'd early on and are 6 gamed...you basically have no savings at all. Maybe it's written in yr 2 that they get a sizeable bonus if they are injury free, but going into this year ain't gonna happen

I think Matt will get around what he got with a slight bump up...he won't be given huge upfront money like before, maybe half what he got last contract, but a larger base salary, same situation for Collaros I would think...Both I bet in and around 475-525k...how it's broken up is up to the GM but half as a signing bonus won't fly Strev I can see getting a 100k salary signing bonus..100k base and some kind of per start bonus ..likely 5k which if he met them all would net him 90k more and bring his total to just shy of 300k..which is fair and reasonable and something he would be happy with

Zack is gonna have to I think accept the fact he is going to get a moderate upfront signing bonus...the 150 to 200k ones waved bye bye after last year, and a decent base with large play-time bonuses...protects his team, and gets him paid well if he can stay on the field..any team that gives him 200k again before the first snap of the season and then hard money totaling 250 to 350k more as the base salary spread over the season should have their G.M shot

Kind of irrelevant tho as you can only roster 2 guys next year, so none of them is gonna wanna be on the sidelines in their jeans

Lapo said in an interview yesterday how Strev was so dedicated to his team and teammates and would do whatever he had to just win. Even when Zack was brought in he was a perfect pro and it was cause of guys like him and Matt and McGuire that made that QB room so strong..he is a guy who is intelligent and super positive and just wants to help his team win..will do whatever and laid it all out there for his team..who wouldn't want a guy like that on their team?? It's not a fan favorite thing cause of his personality and off field fun he showed..that's just all part of what makes him Strev

He has already improved from when he got here..and like I said, in a prototypical offence..with real reps and not modified gimmickry he can and will get better. And sure..u can never compare any league from one to the other..but...if u have excelled at a level..within that level of competion getting to next level is almost the same..having played in all levels..prep schools..JC..NCAA and then stints and camps in CFL and NFL I can assure u that top players can elevate to match each level..for qb routes trees are same..looks the same..coverages the same..talent is better for u and against you..but if u throw for anything over 3000 in a college year..you can pass His measurables yeah if he was at national combine would be top of class.. tools are there..as is the brain..only thing that kept NFL types away was the inexperience and the fact they would need a yr or 2 of patience and work to progress him..but in the business of NFL that wouldn't happen..the politics.. money to do it..buried 4 deep never getting any reps..but in Canada it has been perfect and Winnipeg is allowing and able to follow the pre draft narrative for him..and we are gonna reap the benefits of it

That's the thing with Strev, when he gets more reps and chemistry with the receiver's..throwing actual routes in the standard playbook, this will get corrected...just getting in sync with a receievr's tendencies..how they come out of their routes, the speed they break off things..etc..etc...his shots furthwr down the field will be more precise...like anything, if you don't practice it, and do it over and over...you don't get better

was kinda shocked he was let go to be honest...was he hurt so told to rehab and come back if he got healthy for 2020?...can't recall

All issues I have been sqwauking about for a year and a half...to much static targets...no layering..rail shots...etc And I agree on his accuracy...gets it in the catch radius but too many times the receiver has to do a lot to get the ball, and by then is engulfed

remember how we could, or would be bemoaning things..who we needed to cut loose...chase...fire...as the drought rolled on, but now we aren't?..ahahahahah
