M.O.A.B. Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think we have to make the most of our opportunity while Wylie is here. Give him a very good talent to work with and turn them into a solid O-Line this year. Just like what he did in 2007-2008 with LaBatte et.al. We never know, NFL might come calling again next year and *poof* he's gone. And in order to do that, we need to keep January around for the time being, because the rest of our O-line sucks absolute dogshit. Not necessarily. Jones and Knapp filled in admirably in LT and RT respectively, consider they are with the team for just 5 days. Imagine what benefit of a full TC will do for them. And we have 2 more good import propects on the roster right now... and they are not like a Taormina type. and you're too down in our NI OLs RT - they have high hopes with Neufeld but if he's not good there, then we line up an import there. Problem solved. RG - Penser played good in his short stint there, so does Kowalczuk. Swiston has his bright and dark moments there. I think it's a matter of deciding where should be Penser and Swiston play, not RG this week and RT next week. LG - will be Greaves, who arguably our best NI OL last year. our problem is with C - Morley and Kowalzcuk is not set there yet. and how much of it is DelMonaco's ?

Atomic Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I would rate January as the 4th best import tackle in the league behind Jovan Olafioye, Stanley Bryant, and Xavier Fulton. He is vastly underrated here for some reason. The attitude that an import OL has to be some dominant monster is totally unfounded. There isn't a guy in the league like that these days.

Especially when most teams are using 4-5 imports on the DL and rotating edge rushers in and out. The quality of pass rushers on the whole hasn't been better in my lifetime.

I didnt say Knapp played LT... read my post i think he played RT vs Edmonton it's the game where he played good the first half until he got tired and Odell figured him out on the second http://cfl.uploads.mrx.ca/wpg/pdf/depth/2013/DepthChartEdmontonatWinnipeg094146.pdf then we played 3 imports the next game (vs BC) with him playing RG http://cfl.uploads.mrx.ca/wpg/pdf/depth/2013/DepthvsBC093002.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Simmons in Hamilton is in the mix for #4 as well. Joel Figueroa - their RT - is a fine player as well. Not top tier yet, but could be in the next year or two.

SPuDS Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Its really odd how people devalue january here and yet overvalue every other player.. The guy has been the most steady and dependable tackle in our lineup since he got here.. Also, journeyman? How long does one person need on a team to lose said moniker? Hes been a bomber for how long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 January is needed in a time like this. In a rebuild you need high character guys who lead on and off the field. I can only remember the first couple games in 2012 where he missed were a complete train wreck. Yourface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only remember the first couple games in 2012 where he missed were a complete train wreck. No argument here, but realistically, January is in the twilight of his career, and we can expect one more year from him at best, so if we can use his experience and leadership as a bargaining chip to get a better draft pick or such, we gotta do it.

AKAChip Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I'm not the biggest January fan but at 30 years old, he has more than one year at best. sweep the leg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Am not devaluing January, in fact, he's one the guys on this team that can give us a higher value in a trade. The only reason, I'm ok to part with him is because I believe we have a younger guy who is ready to take his spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
