I hope we PR him and he accepts

I am now having the same hunch unfortunately
That...or we may keep some....but won't see the roster due to the afore mentioned hard trying foot soldiers...who have no business as starters or heavy use rotation pieces...

I woud think he just does short yardage plays to get in sync with the line...

And to get Karamoko on roster for ST work and depth

how does playing 2 import DT's negate continuity?...with whom?....You play WJ/HABA/lets say Garbutt..Fox/Lets say Woods....and toss in Schmeckle as he the only viable Canadian available to us now who has possible upside and isnt a dead weight with none (Jake) how is that not continuity if you roll with that?
There is no reason for us to possibly start 3 Nats on defence now, with 6 on offence when we dont...or wont roster anyone to take advantage of the flexibility?...We should not start any more than 8 Canadians at most right now....even that isn't really doing anything to make us better in all truthfuness
I can't think of one player in this regime in last 4..5 yrs who came in and pushed a vet out of his starting spot, and off the roster...even our pluggers who only saw work on teams were never really ousted either....corret me if I am wrong, but save for when there was absolutely nobody returning at a position nobody new has ever been rewarded with a spot...
well...that right there is reason enough to use his and Biggies cashola on Kongbo....fits a need...can play inside in certain sets....we all know he can play....and I bet a return here would totally be the thing that gets him back to where he was....Throw Jakes salary at him too and park his fat buttocks on the PR just in case....and let Schemck see if he can amount to anything against other teams starters while in rotation...Jake will offer us nothing next yr...so why even go down that road...Kingbo and possibly Schmeck could tho....so the time is now to find out...forward thinking and planning is what keeps you on top of the mountain....not relying on past glory and players in their golden yrs

And to get Karamoko on roster for ST work and depth

and we dont even have to start both....personally I would let Clericus be the 5th WR and start 7 on offence, and go all import on defense.....start Ford as I believe he a baller but not declre an Nat on the defensive side

I 100 percent expect a guy or two who stood out and could really develop into something will get his pink slip...and we will keep an incumbant...or a player that doesnt serve us well on the PR...because thats what we consistently do for yrs....and 2024 likely ends in a similar....yet different fashion of dissapointment which would be totally avoidable...I hope otherwise...but based on the past....and now some these injuries....I will expect more the ame until I see a reason not to

The problem with Schmekel last year is he had no business on the AR... that's a failure on management for not bringing in a veteran competent Canadian DL to take some reps... or a failure on the coaching staff to not adjust the ratio or take advantage of the nationalized American rule... either way, Schmekel should've been developing on the PR while continuing to "practice hard"... not playing actual games  

I’m not sure the criticism of schmekel was unfair. He really was awful last year. I think it’s fair to say he was put in a position he shouldn’t have been. This year, he’s playing at a level that deserves that type of role. 
 Either way, I’m thrilled to have been wrong about him and look forward to what he does next. 
 
 
This. We need guys who buy in to the rotation and play like their hair is on fire when on the field and trust/communicate when they need a rest. The previous group with kongbo Hansen etc seemed to do that extremely well. 

 
 
Yep. De is much tougher, you can find dts who just mash fairly easy. 
 If Lawson is out 6 Games(I hope it’s just roster shenanigans) I’d go two imp dt with shmekel backing up. We have the ni flexibility to do it with ease. 
 
I love the idea of ba as a dna, but with how he was last year still not being healthy I feel like his days are numbered. I have no expectations of him returning to form again. 

Interior DL/DT prob the easiest guy to just drop in off the street....Fox isnt new...and any competant guy beside him will be just fine
What CB did we lose to the 6 game?....I didnt see that
 

Lawson/FOX...Habba/WJ....Garbutt/Woods/Scmeck...I sure that doable now with Ford in the mix, and not wasting a DI on a fullback....and we have used Cole as well off the edge at times, and if we keep/roster Moses I could see him being a great guy to playb like a Jack and come from anywhere....From knowing what we have coming back...and seeing some the new blood perform and practice.....to me that initial crew could really be an agressive and dominant front...dare to dream?....or will it happen?

we need that rotation 100%...and if he is/can progress against true starters I am all for it...I would rather have him than Thomas or Bennett....But if his roster position is at the expense of Kelly...which is was a lot last yr...then I not behind that...Kelly offers way more...has way more upside/use and was last yr, and will be this yr one of our top ST guys...Pretty sure he tries hard in practice too...one the accolades of Schmeck and his reason for rostering last yr

epic epic step back...failure....poor rostering if the case...whatever you wanna call it....especially when a Nat there isnt really even needed ..very curious what we do here but fore going a national there only for 8-10 snaps a game to give 2 Imports a breather would be our best option....we can Use Ford on corner..Kramdi at SAM if Ford gets knicked....or....us a friggin DNA! 
But a rotation of Thomas and Schmeckle would be truly a sad thing

nope...none...zero....with our recievers I'd even use Clericus as the Bailey replacement with Rosary backing up...Not like the 5th guy gonna see a ton of balls anyway...and have no real need for any Nats on defence...I'm sure tho we will roster Thomas and Scmecks...Guathier for Biggie and Kramdi at SAM and not put out our best lineup....almost banking on that sadly

and rip right past Mace and his "new lool" Riders....which looked the same as they have been
quick look over things so far...we will be better at QB2....RB....I believe O-line and D-line (only if we actually roster the new blood in a few spots) and reciever with Lawler here right out of the gate.
If Cole is at SAM and we can roster Moses and Gemmel....I'd say linebacker could have potential to be much better too...we have the pieces to be much improved, younger....hungrier....we just have to pull the trigger on it in a few spots
