Gimme 3 per side if we could just drop em in with how we run our defence and how the offence may be morphing
Bolden...dude didnt really have a position per say...He just was tasked with covering a teams best...T.Jones could be that Jack..off the edge pure rush end...MLB...run stiffling WIL and Greg Battle...dude could play all 3 spots even in todays game...and likely safety too
Milt is a given.....A prime time Sellers for what we are looking to do now, plus could be a feature back if needed.....and I sure Blink would find a nice role
That be my 6
Yeah....Hunt or the Animal Ron Warner pre NFL Imagine Warner...Prime WJ and Hunt all rotating along the line...with Ty Jones just lurking around....damn

a Juran Bolden would be a nice piece...

Always a tremendous luxury to have.
Brown would be massive. I think the only larger upgrade would by tyrone jones. With our pass rush deficiency, adding a prime Tyrone would be unreal. At this rate IDK if I will live long enough to see some one put up around 100 sacks in a career here.
Ok, actually, prime qb would be the biggest ugprade for winning.

never said that....will be 1 gamed...or somehow kept, as there are ways to do it and like I said if Perkins shows he's legit I can see Wilson as odd man out
That being said tho..this boner people have of having a Canadian QB is really dumb....If they are not in the top 3 on your club, and dont show promise...or a real long term hope of promise...why keep them around?...that goes for any player on any squad , not just Egersma
He may pan out and be Rourke 2.0 or better, or may turn out to be another Jason Boltus.....or some middling run of mill QB who may win you a game here or there but not be elite....and for the latter 2 scenarios, why attached your wagon to mediocrity just cause he's Canadian?...There is no point in that
That being said I pulling for him and hope he pans out...Not because he's Canadian but because I like the skill-set he apparently has, and his size. But I not expecting much from him this yr, and even next yet, but maybe we drafted a Golden Goose....time will tell

I would be shocked if the 3 aren't ZC...Wilson and Perkins....as can we really go into the season with ZC and a CIS rookie and a American ..yes with experience but none in the CFL?
That sure be leaving yer arse exposed. Now if Perkins comes in and shows that yes...he can run a CFL offence and looked good doing so, Mayybeee we go ZC...Perkins and Elgersma if Wilson totally craps the bed....But I know we really like Perkins and have been tracking him a while...and really him and Wilson are basically same age and if one is gonna be the future, or even the now if something was to happen god forbid...and Perkins shows he's a legit talent...Then I think Wilson is gonzo...He has to have a amazing brilliant camp and take 2 steps forward from last yr. But Perkins can make more happen withhis legs as he's cutting his teeth and in the grand scheme..I think offers more if he shows anything

yeah...I sure be a non-issue running the short yardage packages.

TSN's product has become stale both in the broadcast booth and the panel, maybe he livens up the place, even though he comes off with the I know the game vibe he really does know the game.

Throws a good ball and mechanically sound with the lower body pivot now thats become the norm...Look forward to see what he has and if he can grasp the nuances of the Canadian gae quickly and trust his eyes with the extra man lurking around...which is generally the demise of many newbies....cant process that properly
Thing with him is he is not a rookie with just College experience...so feeling some optimism here, and working with Strev and I sure they going over CFL stuff...I bet he shows up ready to roll

Anybody/anything that can push Suitor out of the booth is an improvement. Although, I can totally see him walking all over Dusty.

Can't see MLB affecting gate other than in toronto and even then its a big whip as ..well its toronto
And again its no real different with the seasons coinciding anyway and with only one city having a team who cares really
And like said any change can always go back to what it was if its a major flop or causes major backlash...league is trying to find and be accessible to newer fans and demographics so what is old and accustomed to by lifelong fans is irrelevant to anyone new...or newish. If old school fans sqwuak and whine and revolt..screw em...obviously not that big of fans then. Times are a changing and you either change with it..or try to evolve to it in some regard or you whither away and die

should bode well and become one of Osh's fav's as thats exactly what Osh was on the field haha...actually he was a dirty assbag but hid the dirty part pretty well from Joe Average fan...but IYKYK and actually looked for it....But if this kid can bring it...and is used as more than just a glorified OL end...I can't wait to watch him evolve and add an element to our offence we sorely needed
yup...I hope the addition of him actually drives us to utilize and develop him...and in effect will be a huge bonus for MCI as it would get him doing the same...I gig assed guy to dominate in close in one on one matchups with a huge advantage...and another physical freak over 220 pounds who is also one of the fastest guys on our team...within the 5 yard line and the ability to have BO...MCI and Dante's Peak all on the field together...how can you not be stopped?...Especially with Hogan no longer calling then shots

I hoping with Condell he has some sway to get that versatile DI that can be used on offence and return...And if Vval lands a CB spot and does dual duty it be nice to be able to give him a breather here and there
The Bailey and Nuer combo...Both being non counters for a DI spot is gonna be huge and give us something we havnt had in a while...A pure speed guy off the edge in Nuer and a guy in Bailey who is flying under most peoples radar who can speed rush and bull rush even though he isnt a bigger end....plus he has shown he is a disciplined looking run stopper guy...It be a shame if both were not on the roster, but it's a high probability they will be...and lets hope JY gets free range in how and who he gets to use in rotations...A front in some sets with Ceresna...WJ...Bailey and Nuer...of who all can be off the edge would give olines fits
With the guys we are returning....who we drafted and a couple interesting new signings...I can see JY having a real high octane defense this yr, and if we roster it correctly a large amount of the guys who arent "starters" per say being able to freely rotate in with no drop in play and keep us fresh all game long

Some the bottom dwellers tho now will have a possible thing to play for as opposed to before late in season when they were long out of it....seeding and a possible home playoff game....gaining them some extra revenue they wouldn't have got before, and in the end of the day it's about making money, and any extra games a team gets...will make them money
Same with top team in each division...possibly the 2 teams have similar records and will want to be playing to win right thru game 18 to be top seed in league and get that home field advantage throughout the playoffs...Imagine the money we here could make by hosting 2 home playoff games?...any team for that matter
As for attendance....teams generally rely and budget based on season ticket sales for most part, and whether its game 1...game 7...game 18 that revenue is already in their pocket so if fans in some instances tend to stay away late in the season (which happens already anyway) it's a moot point...and in a lot of instances walk up crowds shrink a bit due to weather not as appealing so possibly the earlier start alleviates part of that....guess we have to wait and see.
Now would this work better with a 10th team...for sure...is it such a bad thing without...only of one chooses to just look and the con's and ignore the pro's.
Players get more earning power...teams have ability to make extra revenue that would have never happened before, and league pulls on more sponsorship/advertisement dollars from the extra games....The CFL has been stagnate for decades with what and how they did things, and changes were needed, and some are occurring and need to be done...I sure we wont like them all, and some will love....but this decision too was voted on and approved by all involved...not just force fed by the Commish and his personal agenda.
More football in my opinion is a good thing....and sure be a bonus if you were in first all yr....Had QB 1 go down early in the WF/EF and u had to use an unprepared and unplanned backup and lose due to that and be out on your ass, but get a week to prep and prepare with backup and get a second legit chance to get to the Cup

Just tried... now I have a meeting with HR! Do not recommend.

This is one of the best feelgood stories I have heard in quite a while, and boy, am i gonna root for him to not only make the team but become a star.

There are a lot of people criticizing the new play-off structure without understanding how it works.
1v2 in week 1 are the divisional showdowns. But the other games are not confined to the west/East. It's #5v8 and #6v7.
In round two, the match-ups are reseeded. And in round three they are reseeded again.
It's one of the reasons teams wont be able to "clinch" and rest their starters. You're not just in a season long battle to be in the top 2 in your division, you also are trying to have a better record than the two top teams in the other division. Your record will dictate your match-up in each round of the play-offs.
Problems this is solving:
People complaining that weaker East teams are getting home play-off dates ahead of more deserving West teams
A 1st place team only needing one win to make the Grey Cup
Revenue
More play-off games when negotiating the new TV deal = even more revenue
Players Union negotiated a bunch more money out of this deal
8/9 teams makes people believe the opposite, but this format actually increases the stakes for most teams later into the season
Trade offs:
More games and money necessitated more teams to compete

Aussie Rules Football (AFL) have been using this playoff system for 25 years.
I also love CFL football so I like more games does not cheapen regular season. How many times the past few years everyone game week 18 meant nothing and it was full of pack ups pretty much every team will have something to play for the last week. Also will have less match ups were one teams does not care and the other is a must win down the stretch.

should bode well and become one of Osh's fav's as thats exactly what Osh was on the field haha...actually he was a dirty assbag but hid the dirty part pretty well from Joe Average fan...but IYKYK and actually looked for it....But if this kid can bring it...and is used as more than just a glorified OL end...I can't wait to watch him evolve and add an element to our offence we sorely needed
yup...I hope the addition of him actually drives us to utilize and develop him...and in effect will be a huge bonus for MCI as it would get him doing the same...I gig assed guy to dominate in close in one on one matchups with a huge advantage...and another physical freak over 220 pounds who is also one of the fastest guys on our team...within the 5 yard line and the ability to have BO...MCI and Dante's Peak all on the field together...how can you not be stopped?...Especially with Hogan no longer calling then shots
