Dobson is a bulldog but I don't know how well he would do in pass protection as he's only 6'2". When Neufeld was out Tui took his place. Why do you think his height is a problem?

Yoshi was a monster in run blocking last year, but his pass pro was pretty suspect in a few games last year. Neufeld did a yeoman's job of helping him out tho. Not sure that he has that same luxury anymore playing next to Ferland. Edited February 14 by GCn20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think if he’s playing football next year it’ll be here. If he’s back I think he’d have an inside track at RT. Which as some one said previously being next to neuf will be an asset. A lot can be said about him, in far from his biggest fan, but you aren’t gonna swim in side the rt and split neuf and any one. Plus he can make the adjustments and help the tackle assignment/pick up wise. Walters said the team is moving on from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Unger Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I remember during the season they gave Dobson a start for Gray for one game. I think he made a couple of mental mistakes early in the game and was pretty solid as the game went on. Jesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please not the Riders/Argos, Please not the Riders/Argos, Please not the Riders/Argos in where he lands. Cuz if so the stench of throwing on either of those jerseys will outweigh how much we appreciated him here. 🙂 Edited February 14 by HardCoreBlue Rod Black 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too. Had a really solid season I thought. Can't remember what game it was but Yoshis guy was putting it on him in the first Q. Neufeld stepped up and helped Yosh and Kolo to his credit took up some of Neufs so that he could help and that DE did nothing after that.

HardCoreBlue Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 All I'm thinking is c'mon new talent brought in through our scouting department! Losers (re) build primarily thru Free Agency. I just made that up, I may wrong but I would think a balance of bringing in talent thru the ranks and selectively using free agency is more of a winning formula.

This isn't the first time and won't be the last. I have zero concerns about it right now. Always had guys in the pipeline though. Have 7 guys signed right now, 3 Americans, 4 Canadians. Flipping around 2 spots, didn't have any development guys last year. Would be really lucky to get a guy out of draft who can play right away. Top 7-8 OL guys are all NFL prospects. Not always easy to plug American guys in either. Think there will be a few moves in this position group yet. Fatty Liver and Piggy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe hardrick moves to guard by bjb if he still playing then it isn’t at tackle. 3 hours ago, Fatty Liver said: Based on what? Have they ever put Dobson in at Guard? Dobson is a bulldog but I don't know how well he would do in pass protection as he's only 6'2". When Neufeld was out Tui took his place. The guy is a beast. His physical talent is extremely rare to find in an ni. He’s been losing weight as well and getting faster. You can really see the traction he made late season. You want shorter guards. Being taller inside is harder and actually pretty rare. Both made a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need to unearth a new tackle but outside of that...we're fine. Depth will take a bit of a hit, but like you said there will likely be a signing or two and if history is any indicator. They will be more than ready to step in if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
