  • Fun to sit and watch practice today... Been about 20 years since I was last able. With respect to the late great Randy Turner, the king of Odds and Sods writing.... here's some thoughts: -Al

  • Just to speak to Wolitarsky’s character and just what a good dude he is … few years back, some friends and I went to go see him play at Earl’s on Main and we ended up chatting with him and Streveler …

    Really easy to always say that there's some mystical coach out there that would be a better fit.  We've been through generations as CFL fans watching teams including our own who keep believing that.

What about Kendall Randolph at RT. When he replaced Neufeld at RG our line seemed to instantly become more effective as a whole. Then when Bryant was out he did not look out of place at LT once he got his feet wet. Seems pretty versatile and if Bryant comes back this might be a good fit.

Randolph is a good project, he was damn good at G. More legit of a T prospect. It didn’t work out well swapping Lofton and Randolph it seemed like they’d be better playing LT and rt than switching both guys spot. 
 Randolph should be a prime candidate for a T spot even LT when Bryant retires, especially if he takes the year two step forward.
But we need a guy to raise the level of competition in camp at that RT spot. 
 When you have a bunch of prospects you tend to get the least bad of the group. When you have a good player you tend to get the best every one has to offer.

Randolph is the intriguing one. For a guy who didn't have a lot of legit o-line work/experience coming into the yr he fared really well...especially while adapting to the Canadian game

His has real good feet for the oline and obviously the athleticism seeing as he played primarily as a tight end....and from watching him this yr, and in practice he has had some real good coaching...or is really learningfrom Stan as he has awesome hand work....which will be huge on the outside

He definitely has a good looking future and could be the LT after 2025.....Another season of grooming and learning is gonna be huge....and he if need be is already a top end guard

Guys, Kyle Walters is going for the Walter White look. That's the sign, he's going full Heisenbeg this off season. 

*I hope*

Let's hope Kyle just keeps saying this to Osh all off-season to get him to start managing the roster better...

Yeah he was a great find and again is a guy in that slimmer more athletic modern linemen mold that we excel with. 
 

To change topics a bit looking at other teams free agents here’s guys I’d love for us to go after. 
 

Mcinnis. If he hits cfl free agency, I’d offer him Brady money. Even if it means we’d lose lawler. 
 

Mauldin. Feel like he’d be the perfect complement to wj. 
 

Ceresna. Replace one Jake with another. Would be a terror along side our imps and Lawson. Give us a ton more ratio flexibility. 
 Similarly betts would be a good pick up but I like ceresna much more. 
 

Mcmanis, and Pickett. Picking on the rbs and Argos here but both are modp type guys and among the best at their positions with tons of versatility. Some thing we lack on D now. 
 

Leake/grant. Prefer Leake for his offensive fit as a Swiss Army knife as well as a dangerous returning but either would be a big win. 

A vet back up qb with starting experience. 
 

Couture. Won’t happen, but I’d throw a bank at him if healthy. Ol has not been a shell of what it was since he left. We’ve treated Canadians and ol like they are replaceable but not done a good job of replacing them lately. 
 

haggerty (failing that, zema, or grace) replace shanky with a much better punter. Haggerty might be too old for an nfl look too. Shouldn’t be real expensive to upgrade p.

Zack Williams is the guy you tamper for.  Local kid, still lives here.  Easy top 5 Canadian OL in the league today, in his prime.  There's your RG for the next 7-8 years.

Him and Wallace sandwiching any center not named Kolo....with Big STan and Randolph on the ends.....and the best outta Eli...Neuf...Dobson if here to round it out for 2025...I could live with that as we groom a young draftee for 2026 and beyond

Is tampering still even punished? In his case, does he also get an nfl look? 
 

 

I wonder what kind of cash he gets, can’t be desjarlais money right 

I like the cut of your guy's gib.

Could’ve worded it better with grouping the two. 

Williams would be a great add. Wonder if the appeal of coming home and fleeing the Dickenson Dumpster is enough to convince him?

That and a truck full of money maybe?

Only if he's not made of stone. Does anybody have a dumptruck?

Maybe check RiderFans?  Might be full of manure though.

I worry about regression with him. He more than doubled his best season last year. Not that he isn’t good, but he seems like a major overpay candidate.

I get that, I think with our offence though he could really flourish. And he fits a big need for us in a big way.

Lol! 

Right? It’s like tsn and suitor with the ford v ford grudge all over again. And still some how wrong lol. 

The whole list "hey! I've heard of him he must be good!"

Would love to make a couple impact signings in the trenches (both sides) and maybe Jalen Philpot who I think is set to emerge.

If we sign both Ford brothers will Suitor's head explode?

I bet we sign neither. 

Lots of guys prob will be signed by free agent day so tough to guess who will even be available but there’s definitely some interesting names.
