Don't need him ,  Strev will come back  

I actually think it could be a ZC/Strev combo as early as next yr actually

Off season I'd like to see some new bodies on both sides of the ball. DL/LB/OL and a few good QB prospects. I think Biggies replacement is already on the Roster to be honest.

Habba in his second year with say Mason Bennett to replace our Bennet, Lawson starting with another DT added to the rotation would help the Dline because to me something like: Jefferson+Jeffcoat+Habba+Mason Bennett+Walker+Lawson+New Dt would be pretty good.

At linebacker we need a replacement for Kramdi and possibly Biggie.

One man's opinion.

Wait….. I don’t see Jackson in there.

A thing to keep in mind is Walters has said many times that you can't do a wholesale overhaul. You have to do it slowly, in small pieces here and there. Obviously this season was as bit of an anomaly where we didn't really make any changes (they wanted to give last year's team a chance to redeem th shitty ending) but going forward, I don't think you'll see a whole bunch of changes even if some here think it's needed...

Maybe not this year, but in the off-season they will need to make plenty of adjustments.  Should be interesting.

Again, Walters has said they don't make "plenty of adjustments" from one season to the next. Not saying what will or won't happen, just reiterating what KW has said...

But, without many adjustments this past year, they will have to make extra changes this offseason. This team is too old to run it back again.

He has said that they try to make incremental changes so they're not forced to do it all at once.

He also specifically stated that this group went 15-3 and deserved to "run it back".

That said, there are any number of reasons why we may have to make more changes than normal next season. Some things are out of Walters' hands, after all. 

O line might need to be overhauled, Roadhouse signing is a priority, Biggie might retire and the D line needs Canadian help. Walters will have a very interesting off season.

you can...and whatwe need to do isn't wholesale....longer u drag your feet...more extreme it will be...we dragged them this yr in a few instances where we shouldnt have

hardly...center...and maybe LT if and when SB retires...strength of line eminates from center out...Eli for Kolo..Dobson for Gray.....Gray stays on as a valuable swing guy who can play all positions...All in house guys who really should have been getting in game reps in those spots as it is in blow outs....in case of an injury....why they havnt got it is puzzling and to be frank...dumb and short sighted

Wilson/Cole

Wilson/Cole

I could see Wilson to MLB and Cole as a WIL....Even Clements if continues to evolve...both are a little light...that being said that metric these days is a little outdated and not vital....JC Sherrit among others did just fine in the middle and believe were even smaller...if you can play the spot...u can play the spot...

That makes sense. If Biggie retires, I'd like to see a real TC battle for the spot next year with lots of candidates.

even if he doesnt and is relegated to a supporting role with salary to match...or pushed into that

If we have a nose, having two light fast guys like that at mac and wil makes a lot of sense. If we don't, well even biggie isn't big enough to fight through ol disengage and make stops. The nature of defense in the cfl these days is that you really play a 4-2 with 2 ILBs instead of a wil/mac even. And they see a lot more coverage responsibilities on skill players.

Yup...we need to solve the middle to let our edge guys and 2 main backers eat again

Your first two sentences is I’m sure the goal of every gm no matter the sport. How successful they are for some is another thing.

Congrats on a big comeback win. Great for you guys to have that to pull off just when the season is getting real.

Looking like the Western road to the Grey Cup is going through IG Field.

Idk what happened to that post...

Bombers find themselves in a great position heading into the playoffs. Bye week followed by two games followed by a bye week (as long as we clinch). They'll get their rest but not too much rest.

If we clinch at home...can't ask for a better set up...and hopefully all our starters dress....get a few reps in last game....but allow others more reps...letting some pr guys get reps in a game that won't factor in save for guys like Haba..Fox...Lawrence would be pointless...

I like that it's still balls to the wall for that final win, keeps them sharp.

I really interested in how the momentum of that second half carries over to the next game. We haven't hit our stride all year. Hopefully the get on a roll into the Grey Cup.

That's one the first times this yr to me that resembled how we played and reacted similar to 2019 and 2021

As a Nationalized American in a role as a DI at an appropriate salary. Assuming that nutso category still exists next year. Either way moving him to back up role wouldn't be the worst idea.
