That's what got us into the situation we are now. No, not everyone is a starter. Some are career backups. Some are career special teamers. Everyone has a role to play on a team but everyone is a starter? If everyone is a starter then why aren't all players on the Bombers paid like they're starters? That's Osh being fricking Osh. 

Except that isn't what he said.

Available high end American Olinemen who can consistently dominate in the CFL might not be a dime a dozen.

True but in the context of what he’s saying I think he’s right.  Finding an American who can play a better guard than Nuefeld at league minimum shouldn’t be difficult in fact we already have vanterpool who can do that.

like this...and interesting.....he was available because essentially nobody wanted to have to deal with the 6 game suspension if signed so the way the NFL churns guys over wasnt worth the wait....could be a real good score for us tho

Real good in making tough catches...actual hand catcher, and as a big bodied guy actually eats up a lot of space quickly.....kind of guy ZC would thrive with in regards to some his ducks he tends to throw deep now

“- 0 drops on 88 targets in 2023, great ball skills“

the knock on him is a big slow coming out of the breaks but man if he can master the waggle.  Also doesn’t make anybody miss after making the catch.  Good be a great endzone target especially starting in 2027 when the endzone is smaller and the goalposts are gone.
