Assuming we re-sign our key FAs (Bighill, O-line, Harris), what do you see as our biggest needs for improvement next year? Two of the biggest for me are:

- Big time slotback that can go up and get it. Adams is a good weapon at WR but we need someone that can play inside. Love Dressler, but he's getting up there in age and shouldn't be the go to guy anymore.

- Return game - blocking and returner. Nelson looks like a keeper but I don't know what's up with our blocking. No one has had a chance back there.

Streveler went in after Nichols was injured on a play late in the 4th quarter. He made 4 completions on 5 attempts for all of 36 yards. Of those passes, he hit Adams twice, Thompkins once, and Harris once.

I guess I'm curious as to what's impressive about that.

I'm on the fence about Nichols.  I'm not a big supporter but by no means is he not still a massive upgrade over a Drew Willy type guy.  At least he makes conservative decisions and gives the team a chance to win.  He had one tough stretch there but pulled through and posted a bunch of wins down the stretch including a playoff win.

With Bo likely heading to the NFL we end up having the 2nd best starter in the West this season and the best up and comer with upside in Streveler. To me a lot will depend on how much Nichols can rehab his knee in the offseason. If he can come in 100% with his 2017 level of mobility there's a lot of hope he can have a better season than 2018.  But we gotta keep having a role for Steveler game in and game out.  Just because we start the season with Nichols doesn't mean Streveler doesn't take over at some point. Lets see how he looks in training camp when coming back with a year of experience. 

Bo has had 2 many workouts. I feel he stays In the CFL. CFL guys who get 10 15 20 workouts generally dont seem to sign. Its the guy that gets 1 or 2 who does. Odd. 

Its almost like the now yearly ny giants signing every top 5 6 7 cfl drafted players and releasing all after camp. 

U know he don't got much of a chance. 

Hope for his sake he does and ours but for CFLs sake.. He hopefully stays in Calgary. 

 

 

Not really about how many workouts....more about who ponies up a big signing bonus.

I would say he wants a shot to play cuz he could get 450 to 600k in the CFL.

Nobody can really he is technically a NFL rookie so will get a very similar rookie contract no matter where he signs.
