    It's galling when we see how Walters let Janarion Grant & Kenny Lawler leave. Two veterans who are still impact players in this league. We refuse to pay & yet we have no problem paying Thomas big bucks to do nothing as he's a 200 year veteran 

    The CFL's 15 highest-paid defensive linemen for the 2025 season - 3DownNation Dont think Jake is anyway near $200000 per year, but agree he is not performing anyway near what we need. Vaughters was an overpay though for what he has shown so far this year. Lawler is proving if any receiver is worth $300000 its him, I just dont think we had any sort of room at that price.

    Luke Wilson at it again on social media. He said the Argos-Rider game was crap despite the walk off KOTD. Too many penalties & qb sneaks. He called Bob Irving old after he criticized Wilson's take on the game in Toronto. Wilson said he still loves Jon Ryan even after his former teammate supposedly ripped him on a social media podcast yesterday. Is the Luke Wilson experiment working?

     

     

    The guy is controversial in the traditional sense for sure. He does seem to know the X’s and O’s of the game and is as good as anyone out there rationalizing them. Us older generation May think he comes off as an asshat for his comments on what is bringing the game down , but just maybe this is what it needs to get the new generation more involved, I don’t know only time will tell. I get super annoyed when he talks of the major differences in the CFL as opposed to the NFL. Might there be something in it though that us old guys are missing and to get more youth to start following CFL the league might have to consider some radical changes!

    QB sneaks shouldn't be allowed in lock of the week. There, I've said it, and it's a hill I'm willing to die on. 

    Pretty tough to administer a rule like that, and there would be a lot of grey areas. Is a sneak on third down only, from the 1,2 , 5 or longer, what about a fake handoff and the QB runs off tackle. What about a running back who comes and takes the snap on third and short and  scores(has happened). What if the punt holder is a QB and picks up the hold and runs it in. There would need to be so many rules and the administrator would have a heck of a time trying to figure each scenario and there would probably be a ton of arguments. Best to keep it simple, there are many times a third down QB gets shut out in a game.

    Chungh, Couture, Richardson, Sayles, Lawler, Janarion are all names off the top of my head.

    Ford looks like he’s on his way out. Houston is another one, although I’m glad we didn’t keep him and I think that was one the team was OK with.

    Let me flip the question: what impactful player in their prime who isn’t from MB or ND have we kept in the past 2-3 years? Schoen is really the only one that comes to mind off the top of my head and we locked him up for one year after he strongly considered the market and quite possibly may walk this time around.

    I'm drawing a blank on Richardson. Only Richardson in recent memory of the Bombers I can think of is Michael. Do I not remember someone impactful

    For 10 plus games Dobson was in the top 2 best performers on our ol.  
     Kola is in a tier by him self. After that, at worst Dobson is better than most all of nuefs games this year, and 2nd worst is handily Lofton. Lofton has no idea how to gauge the distance he needs to cover. Hes repeatedly kick stepped him self out of plays and right into zach butt tackling him. He struggles greatly with speed off the edge, and only wins pass pro battles if some one bull rushes directly into his frame. And that’s despite the fact that holding calls have been out on a shelf. 
     In run pro, he doesn’t have the ability to drive ends, get to the next level or wall guys into his double partner so he or they can secure the gap and one can get up to the lber. 
     He has all of the physical tools to play line very well. But seemingly none of the cerebral ones. When you can’t win locked up one on ones consistently against guys 70lbs lighter than you you just don’t have any where to go. 
     It’s hard to find develop and upgrade Canadian spots. As jbr said, it’s not likely that we will be able to find a FA NI guard who will be better. But for imps, we can find better at T with our too much effort or money. 
     

    Imo, if any one wants a bidding war on Dobson you let them take him. Then you flip to an imp guard, maybe slide Lofton back to his natural spot. Bring in a real RT and replace kola. If Dobson comes back, I’d still favour that change and slide Dobson/eli in for Lofton unless we hit on a rookie C like we have in the past. 

    What about Kendall Randolph at RT. When he replaced Neufeld at RG our line seemed to instantly become more effective as a whole. Then when Bryant was out he did not look out of place at LT once he got his feet wet. Seems pretty versatile and if Bryant comes back this might be a good fit.
