Was excited for Kelly but he's one of those guys I think that needs to take the next step or he'll be on the outside looking in.

Not sure where he ranked last year, just that he was the best Canadian OL available in free agency. Supply and demand. So he picks up a big salary, but is he that good? While Broxton is American, he ranked the best Lineman, period...and plays the most important position on offense outside of the QB. Gotta love it

Didn't JSK play some MLB in Hamilton? Could work better over Tony Jones in Jordan Younger's style of defense...blitzing/coverage.

MBT would be the only guy worth bringing in but just doesn't seem like a FIFO guy.

Yeah I'm not sure either. They will likely take one of Artopeous and Wilson and one of Thorne and Perkins. I can't imagine they will start the year with Collaros and no CFL experience behind him. My guess it will be TD Terry running short yardage and Perkins waiting in the wings.

Mark digging up some repressed memories relating to The Factor.

Ourbombers was a strange and magical place

Combination of Big Stan and Broxton (I'm assuming) on the left side is going to be wild. Eli should have a tonne of confidence in the middle when he doesn't have to worry about anything to his left. Snap the ball and do your job.

Then I don't see it being a problem at all. The recovery was closer to having a vasectomy than having an ACL tear. And I my athleticism is being pretty good on a low level slow pitch team.

Not a doc but I've had ACL surgery twice and meniscus surgery once. Meniscus recovery was a walk in the park. I had a bucket handle tear.

And 2 moves to the d line. Thomas out and Ceresna in. Both lines will be vastly improved. If you subscribe to the notion that teams are only as good as their lines, you're loving this. Receivers vastly improved with Tim White and Tommy Nield Running back status quo (great) QB. Zach is Zach. He will likely thrive with the overall talent built around him. But it might be nice to get a good backup. Linebackers status quo (should be fine but obviously would be nice to be better) DBs should be just as good if not better with Moxey Special teams we are status quo (good) It should be a great year.

Wasn't there a bonus of 75k? Or can they apply that to last year's SMS?

Yeah White not necessarily without faults. But he should come in and be a more of a legit number 1 guy. Last year we came in with many 2-3 guys hoping that we didn't need a top flight guy and it failed. I don't think there was anyone out there that would be as impact of a signing, so we needed this.

I like the idea of Robustelli or Eberhardt as up and comers to add to the American group. Could be a big reward. Still think we could and should improve our Canadian receivers with Brissett.

Yep assuming everyone is healthy coming out of camp, that's better than Wheatfall/Demski and a hobbled Schoen we had our of camp last year.
