Too soon?  Too many truly painful Grey Cup losses have taken the sting out of yesterday's loss already.

Time to look forward while we cope with the recent disappointment.  

Who do we keep?  Who do we let go?  Who do we go after?

Someone was going to start this thread at some point.

Reading that Insta post, I felt like he's matured from the guy who got a DUI a couple of years ago. We've seen the steps WJ5 has taken in his life, in terms of maturing, and I think we're seeing it with Lawler now, too...

and this man is ready to do work in '23!! 

 

 

My knees hurt watching that.

Sky is the limit for Brady. He was probably our most improved player when you compare his work early in the year towards the end of the season - and now with an off-season of training where you know you're the unquestioned lead back on the best team in Canadian football, which happens to be your town....stock up. Way up.

That is crazy

Didn’t realize the price tag for receivers was so high all of a sudden

 

I don’t like 300k but I wouldn’t have liked 140k for Bailey last year either 

That is where I am at. Quite honestly I would have gone up to $275k/year for him and we average out to around that.

It may sound like splitting hairs at that price, but you have to draw the line somewhere. 
 

Seeing what receivers worse than K-Law are getting, I guess this is just where we are.

I am more scared of Scheon’s next deal TBH

Will be a nice problem to have hopefully. Need to scout for rookies now.

especially when you consider it took him 4 or 5 games to "figure it out"... and he still reached 1000 yards... he could be in for a special year

Have you seen our receiving core? He might not see the ball until September.

Buck Pierce knows that when you can ground and pound it makes your receivers jobs easier too. So just score 60 points a game,  put up 500+ yards offense and everyone is happy.

60 points and 500 yards? That's a little low, don't you think? 70 and 650 is what I'm thinking. This season cannot start soon enough!

With those types of numbers, I wouldn’t care as much when our kicker misses one or two

Brady is gonna have a season this yr....and with this stable of receivers...he's gonna have a lot of space to work in....he gotta be super pumped when he looks at the roster and see's the top 7 O-lineman on the depth chart

And he should have bigger gains with the carries he does get. That receiving corps will force a D to spread out.  A quick toss from ZC with the DL in pass rush...could be dynamite.

And on top of that, the O-line was sorting itself out for the first half of the season.

On the subject of our offensive line. I could see O'Shea making Eli wait his turn even if he is the best center in camp. I think it could tick off some players who got jabbed against their desire for the team if Eli could take a year off and then come right back and get a starting job on day one.

Does anyone know why we have the 6th pick in the 2nd round?

Supplemental picks by Edmonton (Pelly) and Calgary Rayan last year, they forfeited 2round picks this year picks to get those guys...

Full complement of draft picks. Been a while since we had that.

I'm not sure O'Shea would play those types of games... he's not he coach he's become by not being honest... the best player will start

doubt it...not even a remote chance of that...doing that would piss of the vets more than a persons religious beliefs in not getting it

I don’t think any functional roster operates by keeping your best players on the bench for no real reason. 
 

By that logic Nichols and Alford wouldn’t have been day 1 starters.

There's no ******* way they play politics with players like that.

Most people don't care that much about the jab.  The best players will play.

For any of you oline fans out there:

 

Think certain folks judgment is clouded by too much time spent in dungy basements.......Wow!
