Ford,still even with the Injuries we have, I stand by he would not be worth his contract.

Lawler in hindsight was a "miss" even at his contract value......

With Collaros functioning im "limp home" performance mode, do you think that even Lawler would be thriving this year? Highly doubtful.

Have no issues with us bringing in Houston. I was the first to say I was ok letting him go to Calgary for the big money contract. With our injury issues I’m more than ok letting him fight for a job. He’s a good player.

Except for his tendency to go for the flashy play instead of making the tackle or knockdown.

He takes some chances. I don’t mind him fighting for a job we need some help in the secondary with the injuries. He has a lot to prove fighting for a job so you hope best case scenario he comes in hungry and plays smart, worst case scenario he doesn’t cut it and he’s off the roster. Low risk move in my opinion.

he could possibly be a good player, if he reigned in his gambling he’d have a chance. If he hasn’t gotten past the reckless play he’s gonna be another bridges. 

 The league has seen plenty of db injuries, and no one else has brought him in. 

I like Dandy coming back. he was one of the guys that should’ve stuck in camp. 

Sucks that cooley is gone, but we can barely make use of brady, and peterson has shown he has legit talent. wouldn’t mind if cooley is back in camp if he doesn’t get picked up. 

 

Im glad we’ve made moves, i wish we brought in more wrs though. that’s a bigger hole than db.

Sooo many holes...

Good move on Houston.... we have no problem, as it seems the altercation with his wife wasn't what had actually transpired...His penchant for 'show boating' which raised the ire of a few, is overcome by his talent as a pretty good db...something this club is in dire need of....Too bad we couldn't keep Cooley....someone will pick him up...Like the Petersen kid though....he has the tools and has a good future in the league.....Hopefully he sticks around

Houston has exerience in league....knows the players and the standard sets in the CFL and has familiarity with basically most our defense so if anything thats a plus

Has he evolved his game and is more cerebral about his approach and picks a better time to gamble?....we shall see.....I really don't recal his CGY performance tho....did he reign it in a bit there?

Dandy I also agree...why he was let go is beyond me....other than the typical Osh tendency to keep hold overs even if not the best choice....and brings a lil more physicality too which is needed

Imagine if from game 1 we had dressed Person....Allen...say a Dandy, had Schmeck from game one as opposed to the what in the hell Korn rostering...Even J.Jones tho he still gets limited reps....how much further along we could be on defenc with cohesion and guys getting reps/experience

As long as the team keeps making steps in the right direction... Keeps getting healthier... Keeps bringing in guys who can play.... I'm happy. Fix the OL and give Collaros more time, and I think he (and the whole O) starts looking better...

Exactly. Zach put up his best #'s when our Oline was dominant.
