Moore is a great value play.  2nd year off ACL.

Edmonton building the right kind of core around Cornelius.  He's a quick game guy, not going to sit in pocket and make reads.

Yup- Tyler's going with the heavy balls. 

 

In all seriousness, Edmonton is going to be the team to challenge us this year.

I like Sayles but $200,000 per year is an overpay.

Woah, way to go Sayles! Nice payday.

Not without a qb they won't. This might be the year that the east is actually tougher than the west though.

Just saw this and snorted.... 200k! Based on what??? 

"made 36 tackles, six sacks, and two forced fumbles over 18 starts at defensive tackle with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2022, setting all-new career-highs. He made 28 tackles and five sacks as a CFL rookie in 2021."

 

SOlid numbers that are trending up.

I like Cornelius- I think he can have a lot of success in the CFL.

Sayles is a better rotational piece than full time starter IMO. 

 

It's great you like Cornelius and his heavy balls.... but all I see is a wildly inaccurate passer.

Sayles is a good player... and I'm disappointed to see him go... but at that cost... I have the same feelings as I had towards Dejarlais... good for him to get paid, but I'm glad we didn't sign him for that money

Every DL rotates. 

would have liked to keep Sayles for rotation...as he proved that he can rotate inside and off edge last yr, but 200k per doesn't work here, and we can get same kinda production, with better upside cheaper...happy for him to get paid...he has worked hard last 2 yrs to earn it...but you cant keep everyone

Drafting Rourke?

Just now, Nolby said:

Drafting Rourke?

Williams asked for it to be closer to home and for some business reasons/interests he has going on out east

I was listening to the 3DN podcast and they said Calgary is happy with some backup to Thurman named Silas Stewart.

So, maybe Sankey to BC.

 

Regardless of what JC Abbott says - BC’s bad LB group just got worse. They need someone in a big way.

Nobody is breaking down Kurtis Rourke game tape here - but his brother probably made him a high pick.

Interesting. If Walters was willing to let him walk, I'm sure they have a plan for DT, which is our only real hole at this point... 

Happened to Nevis, happened to Stove, happened to Sayles.

We just don't pay American tackles. Here comes the next rookie.

It's a strategy that has worked well so far.

BC looks to be taking a big step back. Riders still have more holes than a piece of swiss cheese. Everything's coming up Blue Bombers.

Poop and Bryant too. though moving on from Nevis was because stove was soo good and cheaper. But he’s the last dt we paid great money to. 
 

Seems like a good move for both teams.

 

$230k

Not necessarily a rookie if the team thinks Ricky Walker is ready to go

he had some nice impact plays last yr....more 1st team reps and practice...will give us more than Sayles in my opinion..bigger body and more bullish

I like Ticky Tocker too but I’d still like to see a true NT. Walker and Thomas can rotate.
