I thought there was a press conference at 11 am, but i can't find anything about it online.

 

I listened to it on cjob... nothing really noteworthy (I probably wasn't playing that close attention)... afterwards Geoff Courier was speaking with Knuckles and he had kind of a funny question... I'm paraphrasing here "do you think there's gotta be some kind of catch here. It just seems like we're so used to being let down by this team."

And the Argo O-line is suspect as well, so its deja vue all over again.

My thoughts as well, if their O-line can't keep Ray from being hammered Willy isn't going to last long.

I thought this might belong here:

The same smirk Cheveldayoff had when we won the draft lottery.

Thanks for this.  I will check the audiovault.

Kyle in 2013 when he took the job of GM:

It looks like he's aged about 20 years!

Think that my earlier point about Walters understanding CDN content and need to build through the draft.....has been hammered through, with this trade....

bad seasons age you 5x faster. 

the offseason moves and this trades really earned Walters his extension.

for Oshea he has to be reach the West Final, i think

He just needs to get us more players like Loffler, and less like Richards and Waggonner.

Agree on Walters. His hard work and dedication to the way he wanted to build this team is just on the brink of showing. Give him 3 more to see where he can take a team with a good core of Canadians and depth at just about every position.

 

MO has been on and off the hot seat. I think his in game decisions and ability as a coach has been getting better but the verdict is still out.  A playoff win gets him an extension IMO. Can we give him a 2 year deal?

I think a playoff spot gets MOS an extension. I think Walters has it pretty much in ink for Mos to sign. 

MOS is a lock to be re-signed unless there are some drastic steps back in the second half of the season.

I will get nervous if I see Wade Miller talking to Chris Jones during Grey Cup week....

Unless he needs a GM to run a booster Juice in downtown Regina.....

Waggoner is a beast on the teams. I know a lot of people don t value those contribution as highly but having a guy like that on the roster in invaluable.

Life of a GM. You're not always going to bat 1.000. That's just the nature of the beast. That said despite the occasional miss I think most of us would agree we are miles ahead today than three years ago in overall Canadian talent, Canadian depth, and overall roster talent and roster depth. That's all you can ask, especially after the dumpster fire Mack left.

This is it. Unfortunately you're only as popular as your last F*** up  There will always be a small handful of fans that understand this! And there is going to be a much larger fan base that just pick on the negatives and don't see his work as a whole.

if there are fans who expect perfection from a CFL GM i urge you to please stop watching. Thanks.

Waggoner also rotates in on several defensive packages. Just because he's not a "starter" doesn't mean he's not contributing. He plays plenty and he does a good job.

Not sure how you can call Richards or Waggoner failures just yet.  Both still in the second year of their careers.  I was early to call Anthony Parker a failure in Calgary but he's been there six years now and having his best season to date.  Not every player is going to be Milt Stegall, but they all have roles to play.  If they are actually dressing and playing, and contributing, how much more do you need?

When Walters took over, here was our Canadian situation

RB/FB: Volny, Fitzgerald, Pontbriand

REC: Foster, Kohlert, Etienne, Poblah, Watson, Carter

OL: Greaves, Kowalczuk, Morley, Pencer, Neufeld, Sorensen, Swiston, Paliwoda

DL: Thomas, Lucas, Boulay

LB: Muamba, Labbe, Dubuisson, Stephan

DB: Muamba, Sherman, West

Fast forward three years:

Literally 3 or 4 legitimate starting caliber players on that list. I can now safely say we probably have about 13 Canadians on our team who, while they may not all be full time starting quality, are good enough that I wouldn't worry if they were atop the depth charts.

Harris, Chungh, Goossen, Kohlert, Feoli-Gudino, Westerman, Shologan, Thomas, Corney, Waggoner, Hurl, Loffler, Jones

There isn't a guy on that list who I'd be worried about if they were starting / had to start in a pinch for us.

 

That's an ugly group of Canadians he inherited.

No contract in the CFL is ever a major mistake.

Chris Jones has proven otherwise:

Khalif Mitchell’s stay in Regina has been cut short, as the Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Monday they’ve released the veteran defensive tackle.
