    That was kinda my point originally, as much as their analytics are saying that the changes will add 60 TD per season, that's less than a TD per game (5.185 points per game), but they didn't take into account the number of field goals that won't be scored, so overall scoring will go down.  Even more if you take out missed field goal touchdowns as you suggest.

    I think they are using the increase in TDs as a way to try and justify the changes they wanted to make anyway, but they didn't actually do the math.  Sure, 60 TDs sounds impressive, but when you break it down per game, the argument falls apart.

    It is all made up math so it doesn't really matter, but we don't know specifically what they included or excluded.

    Strev has value actually...in right role

    His running is coming around and if no set back next yr..Will be back to what it was...

    We need a legit QB 1 next yr...and a guy at 2 we either groomed...or someone else did and they play backup

    QB 3 in Canada is a moot wasted spot and nobody develops there..perfect for Strev...he can be your short yardage guy...used in wildcat...play TE...Slot...out of backfield...cover teams...and have packages for him like the 2019 run

    Dude is an athlete...ultimate team guy...a leader...respected...will do anything for team....so use that wasted QB3 spot for a multi use guy.

    The naysayers about his running ability not like it was....well duhhhhhh...think about it

    That being said...its getting closer to where it was...and will get there 

    And if we were to cut him today...hed be picked up immediately and whatever team grabbed him would be using him in all kinds of way...garuanteed

     

    He can definitely be a valuable guy on the roster. Just don’t want to see him starting anymore.

    Cue the unlikely Bomber win & the Mafia supporters here start posting, "See? Everything's alright!!!"

     

    I don't think anyone thinks everything is alright but I'm of the opinion now that who knows what can happen if they make the playoffs. 

    No team is a world beater this year and just need to get hot at the right time. 

    Just to add to this because I was curious. The 2019 bombers limped into the playoffs with a 2-4 record after the banjo bowl. You never know.

    sometimes... other times we had the exact same problems we've had this year. Yeah he had games like the west final, but that wasn't all the the time. guy isn't as consistent as he was several seasons ago. 

    not paying him huge money wasn't the mistake. the mistake is in what replaced him.

    Yup the replacements haven't worked out at all. 

    Lawler had never played consistently enough to warrant his contract until this year. Remains to be seen if he can keep it up the rest of the year.

    Just now, rebusrankin said:

    Lawler is getting 275 in Hamilton. Schoen was 175 plus incentives. Mitchell was 163. You could have paid Kenny 275 and had 88 k at least left over. All it costs you is Schoen and Mitchell. Who isn't taking that trade off?

    You have to add in another receivers salary to make that math work unless Lawler going to play two spots at once. 

    Lawler is getting over $300. His bonuses are all for just showing up. 

    Hard money: $277,200
    Maximum value: $303,000

    The six-foot-three, 197-pound target got a $125,000 signing bonus to head to Steeltown where he became the CFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback for the second time in his career. The 30-year-old will also earn $110,000 in base salary, $25,000 in marketing money, $14,700 in housing money, and a $2,500 travel allowance. As for playtime incentives, Lawler can receive a $10,000 bonus the first time he makes the active roster, $3,800 if he’s active for at least 15 games, and $500 each time he plays more than 51 percent of Hamilton’s offensive snaps in a game. https://3downnation.com/2025/04/15/cfls-highest-paid-receivers-for-2025/

    So what the hell has happened to our fa returner Logan...Why on earth did we sign the guy....for that matter why did we bring in Mitchell?? Just bull$hit moves ...There has to be some serious questions about offseason moves ....letting talent walk and bringing in duds...Where the hell is the accountability

    Logan got hurt in camp and clearly hasn't recovered.  No problem in signing him, that's just bad luck. 

    Mitchell came in slow and unprepared and hasn't looked like his old self at all.

    He's our best all around LB and wont get played...

    Really expected Kyrie to be hurt by now and we'd be seeing JJones.

    I was thinking they could take Logan off and use Mitchell as the returner. He has more experience at that than Echols and is already more in sync with the offence as depth.

    I didn't think Woodbey would get many reps on defence but he was on the field immediately and didn't look out of place. He recorded 2 DT's and 1 ST compared to none for Ayers.  I'd like to keep on the AR but that may be difficult if we go back to an import DT. Of course the option is to take Ayers off, which would be my preference.

    Getting Bailey on would be useful but it may depend on whether Hallett or Makonzo are healthy.

     

    It is really just silly to keep Ayers on if only plays STs. He looked good rotating on D last year, not sure why he gets no reps now.

    I like Woodbey...believe he should been rostered all yr really...but are they gonna use him? We already don't use our other rotational DA's as it is...so remove a guy who takes regular reps...impactfull ones and replace it with Jake and Schmeck? That's a net loss...Hope they have some scheme they unveiling which doesn't include heavy Cdn DT use

    I think they will. Kramdi plays a lot on D and someone needs to replace those reps. Let’s hope Woodbey takes hold of that spot and Kramdi can come back to limited D reps and play teams.
