2019-20 CFL Offseason

For some teams, the CFL Offseason is here. Rather than lose all the coaching movement discussions to the Regular season thread, I thought we could start putting it here.

Those teams currently lost in the wilderness:

Ottawa

Toronto

BC

Montreal

Calgary

Edmonton

Saskatchewan

Hamilton

The champs are here.. the champs are here... Winnipeg*

  • Now to get Brandon Banks on an off - season program that will give him the cardio needed when he's targeted 3 times in a row...

  • I still think with a different OC, Streveler could be a top tier QB in this league. 

  • We must never mess with the 'Rouge' - it may serve no real purpose but most importantly it is not American and it confuses the **** out of Americans... therefore it is critically important to the Cana

Artie Johnson passed away on July 3 of this year. I enjoyed watching him on "Rowan and Martins Laugh In". Boy that was a long time ago.

I thought I  had remembered seeing that somewhere this year... I too watched Laugh In, not as much a matter of choice, actually quite the opposite... but when you're a kid and your mom and dad picked what was on the only TV in the house you either watched along with them or found something to break, burn, or otherwise destroy... lol... makes me laugh now though... we had a 20 something inch black and white console TV, no remote as you actually had to get up and go over and turn the dial, that picked up the only 3 channels you could get most of the time without having to move the antenna... those were the days...

Maybe for BLM and then Calgary signs Arbuckle to an extension?

I think something crazy like Reilly for TO's 1st, Laing and Prukop...

Then BC goes all in for Masoli in FA

No remote. I was the bloody remote. Dad would tell me to get up and change it.

Argos not going after OShea and making do with Chamblin says Argo brass aren't that serious turning team around. Pitiful.

Or, smack the TV when the screen flickers.

Panthers have an opening for kicker. I wonder if Castillo gets worked out?

Good for khari. 

The off season of 2020 is going to be about who has the hindsight to pick the right qbs (ill show my self out). A lot of damaged goods qbs right now, and a bunch of young guys who showed they can play. Swing for the fences with the wrong guy its gonna look really bad. Nichols, Streveler, Fajardo, Reilly, and Masoli,  all have serious recoveries before next season. And Collaros health will always be a question for as long as he plays.

I think we will see lapo in BC. With wilder jr. 

I think Masoli and condell go to ott. I think ott also goes with a gm like RIngmaden. And gets a good back up. Maybe a nichols level former starter. 

Toronto seems like it is gonna try to build on what it has.

I think Calgary will move on from BLM and stick with Arbuckle. And itll be interesting to see where he ends up. 

 

I bet we see Lapo right back here to be honest...do I want that?..unsure..

Just can't imagine that being a good thing. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere yet, but anyone have concerns with how many drives stalled last night and ended up in FGs? I'm not saying that's all Lapo, but.......that many turnovers, we likely should have had a lot more points.

Tbh collaros ability to throw up 50/50 deep balls was the difference maker in our passing offense, and it didnt adapt to his skill set. Nor did it to strevelers. Id rather see Buck take over as OC then see lapo back. 

I think Hall earned another contract. I dont think lapo will be back. 

but for those that say Streveler 'can't throw a ball', well, look no further than that beauty he threw to Harris in the end zone last night.. talk about a throw...  I'm not suggesting that he be anointed #1 but there is definitely room for him to grow into a #1...

One thing I've come to realize about Collaros is that he throws the ball to the receivers sweet spot away from the coverage. The receiver needs only shield the ball and it generally drops into his arms. The DB never seems in position to make a play of the ball. Very accurate passer.

I couldn't agree more. That was a tight-spiraled dime of a pass. I wonder if Zach has been helping Strevs with that.

Yep great down field passer.

honestly, I think there was too much pressure on Streveler when he all of a sudden became #1, self pressure any way... he was just trying too hard... once ZC comes on board it was like a safety valve releasing the pressure and you got to see him play as he can...

When I see Streveler complete passes (from his role as a short-yardage specialist), it really seems like he's dropping back and throwing to a spot. Repeating something that's been practiced again and again. McGuire's one pass looked identical. It can look really impressive, but if Harris didn't get to that exact spot....incomplete. 

When he became the starter and had to read a defence and make decisions...

Yep....a QB having good timing with his receivers is a huge advantage..
