Yup and they are all professionals so hopefully they can be professional. If not has potential to blow up but I don’t think it will come to that. other interesting things. Jackson to be determined and regardless of that they want to add one more coach.

So wonder how much all these guys we signed early would maybe have some of next seasons “cash” on this years cap. I mean even if it’s 50k per dude that’s a nice savings. I don’t think we don’t sign FAs cuz we pay 3 guys big money like every other team does really, I think Kyle has a number he won’t go over for certain positions. I mean our QB. MOP Canadian RB and all star Canadian receiver get paid. I mean, it’s not like we giving 325 to an American receiver are we. Nope. BC is. I don’t see the problem paying your stars money. That’s how sports is. but curious which talented players won’t be back cuz of cap issues? lol like name 2 from last year even? Still going on about lawler I guess but he’s paid 300k also so man some of these posts are wild. @Bigblue204 is right. Up is left. Down is up. Backwards is sideways on here right now.

The DL coach was Patterson last year. He either retired or was forced to retire. Jake is now the DL coach. To me, Jake as DL coach is like Mike miller becoming a coach immediately afterwards also and last year he was our best coordinator in my opinion so there’s some hope there. Sounds like Jake is well liked and respected throughout the league, regardless of talent or lack off, he was a fine rotational piece tho but regardless of that 13 years of pro football = wealth of knowledge. Just cuz Jake wasn’t athletic enough doesn’t mean he doesn’t know things. I think he’s gonna turn out to be a very good coach for us. I get that feeling. Hogan? After listening to the O’Shea audio, I feel like he’s back because someone else was supposed to be OC but said no so they hired in house and O’Shea feels bad he set hogan up to fail. “First and foremost, it starts with me and making sure I’m holding everybody accountable to a higher standard. We just didn’t play up to our standard last year, especially on offence. It’s pretty easy to say that.” “There were certain things that were out of character for us last year that we need to come in this year and fix. I don’t think that, as you alluded to, making a change or a couple changes doesn’t fix everything. Everybody’s got to come in with a commitment to getting back to playing football the right way, playing good football and resetting the culture and that starts with me.” -Mike O’Shea The audio is interesting. Osh taking accountability for sure. If ppl haven’t listened they should and while you get the jets Chevy talk with Osh a bit, he definitely takes the blame and heat for everything last year. No specifics cuz resetting the culture means keeping things in house but I’m not sure I’ve heard a more humble O’Shea than I did in that audio.

Guy is more respected than you are.

They just don’t go over enough to lose draft picks. The salary cap stuff is wild tho cuz nobody on here really has a clue about it. We don’t telly know how much is promo money and other money anymore. Things have changed. Unlimited promo money now really. Bombers making big money. They ain’t saving it all.

He won’t tho since the other owner of the jets is the richest owner in the nhl. Chipman and Thompson are committed to Winnipeg and the downtown hence all the upcoming developments around the area. I mean really.

Most teams would waive Nyquist and Pearson and prob Schenn to the minors. Toews possibly also. I think I’d tank this season. It’s a good draft. We need young talent. Yager has potential. Chibrikov also. Salo I like lots. Dom the goalie looks good. But outside of that not much currently on the moose. Couple interesting prospects in the ohl and ncaa. Top 4 D for sure in Sasha and possibly top 6 center in Walton. Top 9 let’s say. He looks good also but He won’t be ready for a few seasons. We lack tho a top 3 forward prospect tho currently. Yager definitely top 6 potential but he’s not that big either so. You need a top 5 pick. Ideally win the draft and get a franchise player.

55 has this look like and I thought JT was gonna be good for us look to him. He’s so wide eyed out there currently. It’s all him kfc and Vilardi. Barron kicking in now but Arniel refusing to play Barron at 2 center is just a crime now. Perfetti Barron (moose player) As line 2 would be solid as heck and young with potential to grow. it’s time for Chevy to waive Nyquist Pearson and maybe even Toews to the moose or trade them and play the younger guys. Schenn and miller also. Maybe Demelo even and give Salo a shot with Morrissey. Heinola is not the answer as I was at a moose game and he’s slow AF. I liked Yager tho.

This past year was our first time not in the cup final in 6 seasons. so I’m not sure many other teams are really doing better off than us in any way.

Plus guys don’t just decide to become coaches immediately after retiring. This was obviously something that has been there for a while. It’s more about the talent and scheme with the DL tho so improve that and DL should get better. Need a couple solid ends and defensive tackles. Be interesting to see if Willie and Vaughters are brought back. In thinking one only. The kids looked good at the end there so maybe they are starting for us also. But find a couple more. KMB looked like a player also so maybe you bring back Willie and play him way less. Let Vaughters go tho.

Yes. Exactly. One, Two, Three, Four! Everybody's talking about Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism This-ism, that-ism, ism ism ism All we are saying is give Jake a chance

Winnipeg is more affordable for a cfl player than Vancouver tho. The money goes farther here. Honestly I’d avoid bc Toronto and Montreal if I was a player coming up to play in Canada or even grew up here. Not every player tho wants to play in his hometown. Dude is off in Detroit which is closer to Winnipeg than Vancouver right now.

Every coach in hockey pretty much. Most offensive coordinators were bad QBs. I mean the list is quite long in reality. Kellen Moore has the saints rolling. Dude who couldn’t make it in the cfl is the commanders OC. Kliff kingsbury. I mean. There’s a bunch man. In every sport on the planet. there’s more examples of great players failing as coaches. Wayne Gretzky immediately comes to mind. Deion sanders also cuz Colorado sucks. All the basketball coaches are former average players and despite the bias, Jake played pro football for 13 years longer than you did. And here’s a big thing, he’s respected around the league by his peers and teammates. That says something. Fans can **** on players but those guys who played with him and beside him and against him, they don’t and that means more than people online who will always find something to complain about. Dude bled blue n gold for 13 years. At what point do you show him any form of respect for destroying his body for our entertainment. im fine with Jake as DL coach. im not sure why they brought hogan back tho. I mean does Brady need a coach. Not really. So could have saved some $$$ there. Awkward.

Because linebackers aren’t a problem here probably. I mean Kramdi Shay smith jones woodbey Ayers Wilson. I mean there isn’t a spot.

Vancouver will draft him or Calgary.

Meh. Just means they all live here year round.

I’m curious if he’s the only one. Cuz Stan Neufeld kolo are others who I could see hanging em up also.

Elgersma hasn’t played in a meaningful game in 2 years almost now tho. The clock ticking there but I mean the colts just signed 44 yr old Philip rivers last week so maybe now’s the time to get a shot. Just seems teams aren’t willing to give the unknown a chance in the nfl.

Maybe they plan on going rookie at several spots saving money that way. They prob set aside cash for their own free agents and cash for others who might make it to free agency. I’d expect we do make some FA signings, probably Canadians and we rely on scouting to fill holes. Holm and Nichols are interesting cuz the one thing this regime has found are DBs. Is holm worth the 140? When dude brought in late last year is on a rookie deal. I’m not sure. Pay your Canadian starters. Find American ones.

Even Toronto has insane fans. They might not have lots but the majority they have are likely quite hardcore fans who partake in the alcohol and with social media now , it’s easy for idiots to make death threats.

Really. Solid signing there also. We need to improve our Canadian depth not let starters walk away. Kramdi is an above average cdn starter who is apparently smart and versatile. Another solid signing. just don’t follow these with Thomas kolo and the sorts. You can improve on them. I don’t think you can on Brady Lawson Kramdi Demski uhh who else we got…. Yeah. Drawing the blanks for legit Canadian starters. Clercius? Neufeld maybe. Maybe convert him to center tho ?? ya. Needs improvement

Jets did not look good but the Amazon announcers sure love the peg. I actually thought they were better than sportsnet

Only team who can give him 8 years tho. That matters. Quite the haul but not a fan of Rossi. He’s small as hell.

Demski next please. this is a great sign that change is occurring as Brady made it known that he wanted to win I mean $$$ but he wanted to win so him not even testing free agency like was rumoured, great sign change is happening.
