I'd argue Hansen was at worst a very good special teamer and arguably a decent 3rd-4th DE in a rotation set.  A big reason we had so much success the previous handful of seasons was because we had Hansen and Kongbo as effective subs behind the Jeffs.  

Although outside of him, the global program is more or less a failure.  It's basically just eliminated the jobs of Canadian punters and turned them into Aussie spots.

I took a dump this morning that was better than Thomas.  Definitely more agile.

Wait, this just in, I see we have one vote for JT against your dump (r.e., our friend rolly eye).

But seriously JT, thank you for your long term service to our BB’s, it’s been a great ride, time to turn the page to a new chapter.

Yes that was a great hit and probably a momentum statement.

Believe it happened right after we scored and I was sitting at the far end of the stadium but you could feel the crowd react to that.  Definitely a statement play in a game full of statement plays.

According to CFL.CA, we have released the following players: Released: Wide receiver D’Marcus Adams*, wide receiver Geordon Porter*, offensive lineman Michael Todd*, defensive back Jordan Toles*, defensive back Quandre Mosely*, defensive lineman Dreydon Hall*, defensive lineman Camron Peterson*, linebacker Kobe Wilson*, defensive back Duron Lowe*

I have no strong opinions on these moves.

They didn't even get to first base.

I believe Quandre Mosely was carted off the field yesterday?

No lack of talent in that tandem. A whole lot of could’ve been greatness between those two.

Agreed. Comes down to not good enough or not learning the Canadian game as quickly as others.

Interesting about gowanlock.... Wonder if that's an injury thing or what.

It’s true. Such a damn waste.

Would think that’s what this is too, also maybe Laing. But as the roster is I don’t think we need a generic utility big body. We are gonna be loaded with big tweeners who can do a lot of situational stuff.

Maybe, could be he asked for one last tryout, he's been in the league since 2022, so why was he at rookie camp?

Just because he was released doesn't mean he was at rookie camp.  He missed most of last year so maybe he wasn't going to be ready for main camp so cut him now and use that roster spot elsewhere.

Failed his physical I would think.
