Ray had the timing down and nobody said he had a big arm.

Another option at RT but not a very exciting one. That said, Hardrick was picked from the scrap heap before and turned into an all-star, so who knows. 

Why would people be even remotely bothered by this? Scheme fit, we have no clue if he will perform better then he did in Sask. Hardrick stunk there too.

Dolegala can throwit deep...but not with any authority...long arching soft tosses....so easy to adjust and would be a interception machine...Unless he has 3 Lawlers/Gino Lewis's and push off Rhymes to win the floater battle...same deep ball as the Faj...just that he can get it downfield a lot further
was a reason he couldn't stick in the NFL with his height
He also has been poorly coached and holds the ball in the pocket, and when moving around trying to move his launch point in a really poor position and will be a fumble machine as well and be strip sacked a ton

Because a contract is a mutual agreement and Bailey likely won’t get a huge raise but he’s going to get a raise somewhere. He took an $80,000 pay cut last year. He deserves to go out and make his money somewhere. We can’t force him to sign here.

I am actually looking forward to them only dressing 6 OL on the active roster this season (hopefully). Dressing 7 guys last season was another waste of a roster spot that hindered them elsewhere. 

How many Dlineman have the TiCats signed this offseason? Seems like a lot.

Jeremy Murphy may step up in year 2 as our third NI wr.

Not sure who you mean by this. If anything hanging onto the old guard for too long hinders player development. 
Rose, Bailey, Gray, Jeffcoat are all out, making room for younger guys to play.
Clements played well, but Cole is the guy they like better. Developing to have a higher ceiling. 
Can't think of a younger player they've had get away that was developing into anything. 

AND now it looks like Hardrick will finish his career on an abysmal o line....and has gone full circle

If he starts at wil out of camp he’s going to be the talk of the league.  He plays on more of an edge than most of our front guys for the past while, is soo explosive and has a great instinct. Love watching him play. 

If you hear Walters' comments today, it really is that our remaining roster needs to be filled with guys on minimum contracts. 
So we're losing depth pieces that we probably would have liked to keep. It's not the end of the world, but the scouts are going to be earning their keep this season. For starters and depth.

yeah..I been pining for Cole for better part of 2 yrs now...dude is legit....

I think it’s in part becuse he was passed by Cole. Clements is bigger for sure, but his tangibles are pretty common for an imp. Probably confided in their ability to find higher potential guys. 

I think after two years with Malik Clements and Brian Cole both on the team as backup LBs, they chose to re-sign Cole and try to find new young LBs to fight for an active roster spot. Must have thought Clements was not good enough in some way to be the heir apparent to Bighill. Fast but was in the wrong place a lot from what I saw.
The Michael Ayers kid is the only one I think we've signed so far but I expect to see very healthy competition in camp there

Our non starters are signing elsewhere and ppl losing their minds. 

Kyle Walters cries poor every year and every year he's got money for what we need.

More painfully- how close the games were... a few inches here... a few inches there- and we would be backtobacktobacktoback Grey Cup Champs.
 
Oh well- let's keep up with the GC appearances and we are bound to win another.

Can't keep the whole gang together forever. Got to be a youth movement at some point. 
More than 1 injury in any positional group is going to mean a rookie stepping in.  This is the CFL, should be expecting some 1st year players to make big impacts. Without that, can't stay on top. 
Look at Montreal last year. They didn't just win the Cup based on their FA signings. Ento and Mack were a huge part of it. 
Looking forward to the competition in camp this year.

Gray with all his hype has never lived up to it IMO. He was one of the most overrated players on our team. Don't get me wrong, I'd take him back on a heart beat. But I'm not convinced he's some MOOL in waiting or that he would have succeeded as a T. He has all the talent in the world, or so we're told ...but he can't seem to put it all together.
