Yes, forgotten is how we are 1000x more classy as an organization both on the field and off since the mafia came to town.

Which is totally fine, if he's on a reasonable contract and in a more limited role. When he turns it on, he is still an absolute monster. He just doesn't have the ability to turn it on for a huge amount of snaps in a row. Especially if he sees any kind of double team. 
Pay him 100k base, with bonuses to go up 50k+ if he has a monster year. Make him a naturalized Canadian and rotate him as the 3rd end. He shouldn't play man run downs anyway. But in passing situations, let him go for 15-20 snaps a game at 100%. Hell, make use of him in in niche roles like when we tried to throw him the ball, or let him run off the edge and try to block kicks. Give him a guy to pair with who will take the brunt of the physical impact off on kick rushing etc. 

I think the 2026 scheme should be predominant 4 man...Modified 3 man with a Jack....And also believe WJ has a lot of gas in tank and should be used as the rotational 55% rep end and allowed to just cut loose, with the other 3 "best" options at DE....Preferably 2 imports and Bailey the Global or a Canuck we can land via FA's or draft...Allows us to designate another import to DT and have 2 legit ball busters inside alomg with Lawson....Do that with 7 bodies who can play, and the secondary, almost regardless of who we employ get better...significantly...same with LB's
As I mentioned in another post while discussing dline with Gavin Walls he even said what he saw...and would have hated to do, was that we used our ends a lot...primarily WJ in a contain role and not as an attack end...and you could see a lot of times it was a take 2..3 steps...jab down and hold back and become a volleyball player at the net...and more often than not it looked like plays were being taking off...as basically we schemed him out of plays ourselves....or was flat footed alot and having to attack/pursue from a dead stop...pointless and stupid...and a waste
quarter of a quarter...the 1st quarter

Funny how we had a bunch of pressure the game we dressed the all rookie defensive line eh?

I also heard JBR say to continue to talk about JT until further notice.
I told you offseason is going to be fantastic.

If only for the "can't standya" jokes

He's a good coach, boy is he a reach for that HC job though. 
I hope we take a long hard look at bourgoin and costanza 

Good

I'm hoping they're gone and we can discuss replacements.

Sir, yes sir.

Shitty Jake is just sad to watch..and makes others have to work harder and be less impactful 
Shittier kolo effects whole offence pretty much and when others have to work harder it at times takes them away also from their actual responsibilities...so a huge ripple effect...not to mention the QB needing to constantly keep one eye up the middle and not getting to see and read the whole field...a bad center...is the one position you don't want your worst slug

I suggest that Kolankowski is an even biggesr liabiity. Thomas just gives up yardage., but Kolankowski gives up free runs at our QBs.

Stove was so good and it is such a shame injuries derailed him like that. You hate to see it.

He was a very good rotational piece in his time. But yes, every one playing beside guys like stove, drake, prime wj/jj was gonna shine. 
 Sad that iirc stove still hasn't turned 30. And his career is basically a season and a half of utter dominance. Hasn't seen the field since 21 here. He was such a monster when he came back from injury in that stretch run. 
Really crazy to think that JJ, Stove, and Kongbo all peaked here in 21 at a pretty young age. Then WJ and Jake drag them selves on and on playing as a shell of their former self. 

How much juice did he have in 2018 when we tried to walk away from him? The fact that it's now 2025 and we're still talking about him and he's still playing that kind of a role, is a huge fail for this team.

The Blue can dress Jake Thomas up like Homer and do skits where everyone on this board is Grimes being baffled at how JT still has his job.  

The first prokaryotes finding each other - was life changing 

It's true. Oh, it's true. Postmedia doesn't send any beat writers for the Stamps on the road. I believe that's the same for every CFL team Postmedia covers. I've cancelled my subscription to the Calgary Herald. They don't want to spend any coin on the CFL well **** them. There isn't one story about the Stamps the day after when they publish when the Stamps have a road game.  Postmedia has destroyed journalism in this country. I refuse to spend any money on that fraudeulent media company. 

This week on MBB, Posters battle over who hates the Riders the most.

Nic Demski. And fans like that need to get over themselves.

Illegal in 9 countries with bits of real panther...so you know it's good

You know there isn't a single person on this board, amateur or "expert" that hasn't been wrong about things multiple times, right?

This is what I was waiting for... So who's the best option? Condell? Jackson?
