Fatty Liver

Stove.

Grant is a FA once again, Walters has a chance to make up for fumbling his file last season. There will likely be stiff competition to pay him what he's worth, as every GM knows he is the best.

Can any of the Argos afford to own homes in T.O. or do they all rent apartments?

Bloody Ti-Cats, they'll sign both Ceresna and McManis and still miss the playoffs!

Lawler usually makes the more spectacular catches that land him on his butt or head, but Schoen is better gaining YAC than Lawler, as is Demski. I could see Dru Brown convincing Ottawa to spend big on Schoen, he's the hardest working receiver in the league and will come back strong.

Schoen might have led the league in receiving in 2023 if he didn't miss 2 games. The 10 below is the number of TD's he contributed. How soon you forget. 2023 WPG 16 111 71 1222 314 10 17.2 71

FA hasn't even opened yet, charge them with tampering!

What??? and can accept that Shoen went for the big payday in Regina. Not true, rephrase quickly!

Rigmaiden said he was looking to chop his receiver budget and would even consider making trades, Lions currently have 16 receivers on their roster so lots of new prospects heading towards TC.

Well now, we got married in a fever Hotter than a pepper Sprout We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson Ever since the fire went out....

Schoen was paid $230k last season which isn't out of line for top end receiver talent. Lawler was a bit high at $285k, making him the second highest paid receiver in the league, chisel him back down to 250k or let him walk.

Likely going with 2 Natl. receivers as starters, if Woli is around Clercius isn't getting the development time he earned last season, because Zach prefers Woli. As a courtesy cutting him now gives him a chance to sign with another team before FA begins, he should be able to play another 3-4 years if he wants to. They can pick up a left behind and forgotten Natl. receiver like Daniel Petermann in FA to backup Clercius and Demski or go with a new draft choice.

Clercius runs good routes and seems to have decent hands, but he doesn't have the mental connection Woli had with Zach providing a target on broken plays, If Zach loses both Woli and Schoen he's going to be pissed. Maybe Mitchell will help fill some of that void.

Probably the reason they ended up paying Kramdi $140k, he likely wanted to live closer to his family and Danny Maciocia speaks so highly of him he'd love to have him on his team.

That would be Darren Cameron's job not Kyle Walters, you know the Senior Director of Public & Player Relations who hates being the bearer of bad news. To quote action hero the Tick, "the man is incapable".

I'd say Zach's mobility has decreased significantly in the last 2 seasons, which maybe due to age, sustained injuries, or adding more muscle mass increasing his weight. Certainly doesn't look as quick as he once did.

Buck+Zach= 2 QB's with short attention spans and little patience, due to the number of concussions they accumulated. The "go big or go home" mantra makes for lazy football, along with "it works or it doesn't" results. Hopefully the next OC butts heads with Zach a bit more, seems to have eventually worked out for BLM once Milanovich convinced him to read the field from short to long, instead of long to short. Old dogs can learn new tricks.

Agree it's likely a combo of lack of confidence and having the wrong personality to be a leader, Eli seems more like a quiet guy. The aggressive bird always gets the worm, a Center needs to be decisive and vocal, even if they don't know exactly what call to make, they have to act like they do.

Riders paid AJ Ouellette $160k last season, to reward him for the 550 yds. gained and his 4.2 yd. average carry, they will pay him $170k this season.

Sorry, did I say yoga? I meant yogurt, GSP gave up weight lifting for yogurt.

I think Kramdi used his bargaining power to maximize his salary. #1 He's from Montreal and is super tight with his family. #2 Danny Maciocia coached him before, loves him, and knows what he brings.

Andrew Harris basically said the same in his recent interview, gave up strength and conditioning later in his career and focused more on yoga, movement and flexibility, same thing with George St. Pierre, gymnastics and water workouts replaced weight lifting.

O-line has been getting progressively worse since 2021, maybe time to switch up the ratio and play another import beside Stan like they did with Travis Bond back in 2016. That move got the ball rolling in the right direction.

Zach rarely plays great in big games when the score is close, I suspect he doesn't handle stress all that well, he may be too hotwired and competitive to be able to relax and think clearly. In games like LDC and BB were the results don't usually matter one way or the other, he has fun soaking it all up and plays relaxed, but in playoffs when the pressure is turned up he tightens up like a steel drum and is unable to create any flow.
