The Ottawa fire sale has started. Has Walters charged up his cell phone?

 

I would not be opposed to get Lewis, Hardy or Wakefield but nah, Walters' on holidays

Great deal for the Stamps,  the guy was really good last season,  Maybe a change of scenery will make a difference for him.

except we’ve been running 9+ canadians. So you could replace jake with an american full time. 

technically you could just remove him from roster and play a man short even and be better....as the reps he took would go elsewhere

But yeah...we need 1 Canadian on field at any given time on defence...so he's easily replaced

Constant rotation is what we do, a lil excessive in my opinion as doesnt allow guys...especially dline guys to get in the game flow....but when we do it ad nauseum with inferior Canadians when you could use an import...whats the point

Games where we give up gobs of yards...difficulty getting off field and zero pressure on the QB just making it worse...it is when we have Thomas and Korn (tho he gone now...again) kelly...Hallett in whatever combination on the field...when we only need Krmdi and or Lawson

Same with that stupid front we run with Thomas or Lawson on the nose, and one the edge....and we flip flop them in this setup too...Both do nothing on the edge...and when Thomas is on the Nose.....useless...pushed back...spun around...washed away...or put on the ground

Give me some Geno Lewis

Packaged with Pickett

Package up a Thomas and Kramdi....do them a solid and get em closer to home and toss in a 2nd round pick

I'm sure if Thomas is that good then a team would jump at that glue pot he carries under his jersey....no?

One of the imp wrs, Pickett, wakefield, a back up QB, even bringing back desjerlais, or kola for godber lol. Or I'd do Kola for knevel to be our 6th and start eli.  

[Goalie]

Yeah. I think I’d look for a center or Neufeld replacement from Ottawa. 
 

cuz oline got some issues here. And I would think 2 perhaps 3 spots are gonna be up for grabs next season. Tackle (big Stan) center (kola) guard (Neufeld) 

 

I mean 

 

American Wallace Center Vanterpool Randall. Center preferably Canadian. 
 

maybe Vibert is that center tho.

That'd be a dream scenario. I don't think we'd pay Drews deal though. 

Heck, Id see if vanterpool can pick up snapping or neuf even.

actually....Neuf can, and prob be a damn good center even at his age and a career extender for him...He has seen every front ever in the cfl so he'd have no issues making out the clls

And in all honesty he has played really well all yr at guard...a few moments of wtf but that happens to any oline guy, and also chalk a lot of that up to with what was going on with our OC and system, and not to harp again but an actual center who could do the job, and both guards look worlds better too

[rebusrankin]

Geno or Hardy would be great adds.

Drew as well but isn't his wife/girlfriend a doctor in Ottawa?

The only players Ottawa would trade are aging vets that they are iffy about resigning or know they are unlikely to ,Mauldin fits that mold. 

Just to throw it out there what about a trade  of the rights to Elgersma and  our 1st round pick for Dru Brown. Crum has been more effective for them and less injured

 Also how good would a cdn qb look in the nations capital. And we would have a qb if that one more hit happens to ours

 

Edited September 29 by Pete

[WinnipegGordo]

Why not get Crum? 

Ottawa would be more likely let him go as he is only signed for this season. 

He'd be great insurance if needed.

They’d trade FAs who are coming up and might not resign, and places they want to spend more or less. 

That said, the last guy they are trading is brown. He’s young fairly cheap and locked up on multi years. 

 

I do wonder what’s up with elgersma. I thought he’d  be up here if not getting an nfl pr spot. It isn’t coming this year for him now.

Id be down with that for sure.

I’d try to trade for Addison just as playoff insurance in case a WR or 2 get nicked up. 

He can do the stuff out of the backfield that Demski does and would be capable of covering any spot in the  WR corps. 
Better than getting thinned out and having to use a guy like Corcoran in the playoffs.

guys, I'm pretty sure Ottawa is not going to trade all of their good players for our scraps... 🤣

Send them Hallet for Lewis. Don't they know you can never have enough pretty solid special teamers? Just ask MOS!

[Booch]

honestly tho we should try and get Woli back for a bag of tape and balls for stretch rin...Ham not using him and he would easily take Corcorans spot on roster and actually be useful and is also a receiver that ZC and Strev trust....and we know how key he was in rungame especially when the weather gets cold

....he would/could add something to the locker room also....I think he's just going stagnant in the hammer

[ShyGuy]

Depth charts out for tomorrow and the Riders have 7 changes with Sayles as GTD. That seems like... Alot at this point in the season

Wondering if he's 100% healthy as much as football players can be?

So new commish but same old CFL when it comes to some things. They weren't happy about the GC halftime show being announced in 2023 until late September so they committed to earlier announcements.  A year later, here we are in early October and crickets. Too busy trying to Americanized the game I guess.

Ironically having a bad bunny or Taylor swift half time show would be huge for the grey cup and cfl. But it will be some country crap. 
 

should be a Winnipeg themed half time with Winnipeg bands and acts. Maybe bring back the crash test dummies
