I don’t think he will be his new 100%, and we have no idea how effective his new 100% will be. If he’s a great locker room guy maybe you bring him in with the expectation he sits on the 6 for the min, unless he suddenly looks like some one you want to involve. He might be in a tc next year, but i think he will be out of the league. Such a damn shame. I mean davis was a short yardage qb for ages, but he was actually really good at straight away qb keepers. It’s very possible he has work this coming season. The qb talent pool in the league is hot garbage rn. Its hard though to be out of football a year and come back. Even more so if you haven played well in a long while.

he isn’t the best db on the team either, Nichols is better and worlds better tackling and filling a run fit. Griffin is better too. worlds more physical, versatile, and more steady in coverage. That said, I could see kramdi being lured back to mtl, and I think nichols could chase a ring on a contender. I think holm is likely to get another raise. He basically played close to the level we paid him at, but we paid him way early. Holms consistency and ability to stay healthy despite a pretty slight build/frame is very impressive. Especially for a twitchy closing speed guy. I expect us to go to camp with some thing like allen woodbey holm griffin houston with bond and parker fighting for spots. At sam I think ayers, makonzo and smith fight for it. Maybe woodbey or griffin slide to that spot as well.

I love to counter pressure with asymmetrical sets and heavy motion. Really put the secondary in a bind. Use ncaa style fast rpo, no step or one step throw screens. Throw to the area the defense vacates to pressure, or take advantage of miss matches like slot on lber or rb on db in hitches and quick hitters. Mesh is great vs pressure too. They to running vs pressure is to vary up the run touches to keep the D off kilter. Wide and outside zone are great to punish over pursuit, and draws. People tend of thin of draw only as an inside run from the gun, but you can delay toss to punish the edge, you can run search with delay or off a pump fake etc.

maxie not gonna be back in edm, i’d love to see him coaching our dl.

dequoy is 5-10k more and waaay better. Even pickett is comparable to dequoy. When you look at the dbs making 140-160k, you expect premier players at that position. Not a guy like kramdi. His over pay isn’t any where near as bad as wj, or ford or a bunch of guys around the league. The problem is really we got 3 dbs making that kind of money and 1 guy who is at that level.

Is that a shot at tui downfield eli???! lol I fully believe that a team that invested in talented big athletic Te(s) and 11/12/22 formation would be at a massive advantage. Especially with a fast qb who can run.

He was back to back then, in 23, we began to see the cracks in Zach's armor resurface, along with his injuries. And the league was catching back up to us. His overall brutal QBing performances here in the playoffs had also just cost us a GC. 236 yards 0 tds 1 int vs 290 yards 3 tds 1 int. We can say no comparison between Faj and Zach, and on that night, it was true. Zach couldn't compare in the least to Faj. He won 2 rings and was in the race for several MOPs as well. That was the ideal moment to move on from Zach. Even if he had a couple strong strong years left in him. He still had value; we could've gotten a very nice return for him and saved money going to brown. I can't see many cases where the CFL team stayed with the old guy.

Vaval has good shot at getting an nfl offer in the window though. If vaval is back, i’d dump logan. If he isn’t, id be looking for another proven kr to compete for the spot.

The Don too. But even recently, Bc going with rourke and moving off vaj. Mtl going to alexander, Toronto going to the pest. Even calgary moving blm to give maier a shot. It’s not often in modern times that teams have stuck with the old guy when a new guy steps up. Off the top of my head the last time i remember a groomed guy being given up on for the vet was franklin. Edmonton let franklin go in 17, then after 18 reilly left for a big pay day. Even the riders gave up on zach for faj in 19. Keeping zach over brown was the unconventional decision by modern cfl standards, old cfl standards, pretty much any you pick.

Wynton, Beverrette, and Judge are all right around 200k. If he is willing to entertain anything under 200k, every team without one of those 3 should be calling him. At 170-185k he would bring incredible value for any team. I mean for us, we could flip two lber spots to NI. Now if he's in the 210+ thats a big much for a one year guy. I do really like his game though. 🤣 Wow, Edmonton is just throwing money away as fast as they can. If Smith and Ford set the market for Canadians, Brady is gonna need about 350k a year from someone.

basically their whole wr core lol. Im sure meyers will get an NFL look, but he'd be great to have. Aj allen too, that guy is hitting FA at the right time, and off a big year.

It is not for lack of trying; the league is in a bad spot to attract QBs and is doing a poor job of developing them. The NFL is struggling to adapt Qbs to their game, and sitting on guys much longer, and they have the room to hold guys around now. Not to mention the increased pay. Plus dru brown, and Rourke.

Exposed at Wil? I mean, in pass coverage, we had the most vulnerable Mlber in the league. Or more than a bunch of the DBs were early? Teams around the league started rookie NI lbers this year to great success. Cis kids too, not sort of kind of Canadians like Shay and Smith. Smith played a hybrid DB position,l ike how we use the Sam up here in college, too. Wil isn't some high-risk position; it's pretty much the DH of the D. You can hide an awful lot a Wil and Mac in the CFL. That's why it's become a low-risk risk high-reward position to flip the ratio at. Elgersma is basically our long-term hope at QB. But I do mean long term. He needs to be on the AR and getting some work in practice, but I don't see him jumping into starting. QBs do start sooner than ever, but it would be insane if he even kept pace with the line Rourke set. Where he showed promise as a starter in 21 after being drafted in 19, then was pretty bad in a fraction of a season 24, then really finally cemented him self this year as an elite starter. I will be very interested to see how Elgersma progresses, being a CIS kid who got a pre-season in the NFL, but didn't come up here for the end of year. If he had come here and gotten some grooming on the PR, maybe dressed late, that could've been a real career accelerator. But like Walters said, rookie TC is hard for a QB, and it is also the biggest opportunity for one. Unless he is our short yardage guy, I don't expect to see him take a regular season snap next year.

We should've never been in that position where its dole or wilson in a grey cup lol.

I'm pretty sure we did. Idk if we used the most Canadians, but we had several games of 9 starters. Yep. Should be in a good position to get the extra pick atleast.
