I disagree and believe your logic is flawed on this. Last year Walters had Biggie and Wilson coming off all star level seasons, there was no urgency. This year is quite different and I expect to see more MLB/WIL Lbers in camp and on the PR this year. Who we are starting is irrelevant to that discussion. Biggie and Wilson when healthy are one of the best MACK/WIL duos in the CFL. They are aging and I expect recruitment for their future replacements has picked up steam. Just because no one emerged out of camp last year is 100% irrelevant to this year. Knowing that Walters is always forward thinking I agree with your assessment. Dude is no dummy, he knows where the team is lacking and needs help and he rarely ever let's a situation go on forever without addressing it. ddanger, Tracker and Blue-urns 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are running it back with some older vets in key positions. They are still high level playmakers. That doesn't mean that Walters is disregarding father time though. I expect recruitment for OT, MLB etc is something our scouts are keying on this year so that when these guys eventually show their age we are ready. It is absolute nonsense to suggest that time is now though. Bighill, Big Stan, Yoshi etc are all very, very good players still that have not shown they need urgent replacement....but yes they will be among the first players in our core to be replaced when it is time and that is I am 100% sure where Walters will begin putting the onus on our excellent recruiting staff to prioritize.

But it's still a helluva lot better than what you're going through now A couple of acquaintances have had knee and hip replacements,, respectively and have been pleased with the outcomes. One other one had to have a third hip replacement because the first one squeaked (YES!) and the second one bled metals into her bloodstream. And today the Minster of Health announced additional options for out of province procedures- it almost like there's an election looming.

bustamente Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 I'll give my thoughts on the subject of replacements as I had my hip replaced at age 50, the pain before the replacement was intense bone on bone with all the joint fluid gone even driving a car was painful especially going over bumps which we have an abundance of in our fare city. This is year 8 since and it's the best thing that I could of done no pain no limitations walk easily stairs a breeze and can actually run, did I mention no pain. Rehab is the most important part of getting back to where you were before the pain started. I also happen to have a pool so I did all my rehab in a pool which my Dr. said would benefit me greatly. If you're in pain whether is knee, hip or shoulder get the surgery as soon as you can for your body and mind. ddanger, Tracker and SpeedFlex27 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't miss anything. Just don't see the relevance at all. We were not in need of LBers prospects last year and it would be crazy to suggest we need starting LBers this year. Wilson/Biggie/Darby are a very good group. Walter's will bring in MACK and WIL competition this year and they will be more than ready to go when needed.

bluto Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 (edited) South Carolina Gamecocks... that brings back a memory. 2008 International Bowl at the Rogers Centre. South Carolina Vs Ball State. My Argo ST buddies and I went to sit in the cheap seats in the 500 level and had huge banners made saying "Go Balls" and "Go *****". Weirdly, they made us take the ***** one down. edit: looks like we were actually in the 200 level... I thought I remembered being in the nosebleeds. I blame the $15 beers.
