I think Walters wants to continue to be viewed as a guy you can do deals with in the league.  Part of what brought Collaros here was Pinball thinking that Walters wasn't going to try and screw him over with shenanigans.
 
If the 1st round pick isn't tied to signing in free agency as well I think as long as Collaros is taking offers/negotiating with teams and then just decides to come back to Winnipeg it'd be fine... a day after he goes into free agency he signs a pre-written contract without taking offers from anyone else.... that would stink and would actively hurt Walters ability to negotiate with other GM's.
 
Short vs. Long term thinking essentially - ******* over Pinball might be a great way to get Collaros... but over the course of a couple years might make the team significantly worse than it would otherwise be.  Part of what brought Collaros here for us to get the cup was the reputation Walters has built as a GM to be trusted.

Gadget plays have definitely been in his playbook all year - The Janarion sweep, Adams pass to Strev, Demski direct snap... almost every game he has at least a couple of those "gadgety" plays.  He doesn't tend to do the same play that many times so we see some wacky plays that just don't work

Either that or retiring to become a D-Line coach with them.

That really was a gorgeous throw by Strev to Harris 98% perfect accuracy... biggest hit on Strev when he was starter IMO was his accuracy on the long balls.

Part of why we put up 33 points was the 7 turnovers, to be fair.

If we had ended up behind instead of ahead I don't think the play calling would have changed much (except maybe the 4th quarter where we went run time off the clock mode).  THIS is where most of our criticisms of Lapo reside... he has a game plan and if it works, great, if it doesn't.... stick to the game plan.
 
His game plan worked and our defense played well enough that we didn't need anymore out of the offense than what we got. The people who want Lapo gone, want him gone because they feel like if our defense hadn't been so stout, our offense wouldn't have stepped up to fill the gap.
IMO - If this had been a close game with the Bombers barely ahead I fully believe we would have seen conservative/predictable, run time off the clock, play calling by Lapo... the kind of play calling that lost us games in the past.
 
Luckily we didn't need to worry about that because our defense just smashed the Ti-cats.

134 yrds rushing for Harris...
Collaros not even 200 yards passing... lol

Strev still crushing the short yardage
 
 

man.... strev looks so gimped when he is in the huddle or on the sidelines

that was damn close to a catch and fumble... very nice play to knock it out 

For some strange reason Adams has dropped big passes (impactful passes that were on target) from CS multiple times this season... strange from a receiver who is generally pretty consistent with his hands.

Streveler suddenly signed as the team fullback.... who occasionally takes wildcat snaps and sits in the pocket to pass

If that's true, then wow.

Fewer turnovers - Hopefully Strev puts some serious work into his accuracy over the off-season (I'd say probably half of his turnovers were from underthrowing/bad placement on his balls)

I'd take Claybrooks over Richie Hall... He'll be hungry to show he's not washed up.

I'd personally prefer to see MOS stay in Winnipeg... I hope he makes the decision quick enough that Khari isn't locked up by Montreal already.
If I was Montreal I'd have already offered Khari a multiple year extension at premium dollars given what he's done with the team (and the near certainty of him winning Coach of the Year)... the fact that hasn't been announced makes me think Khari wants to see offers from other teams first.
