Blue chipper. Don't tell the guy who cuts players, grinds the meat for hotdogs, does social media and film work for the AFL team. He pretty much gets paid in hot dog casings. Every other team coming to with a spending frenzy hang over. Wait, we agreed to give him how much?!

we probably trade him for a conditional 7th round pick now. Then end up needing a LS next year No joke. Any other league a guy going through that would be screaming. Strev is a top tier guy football and in general. His work ethic, mental toughness, and team first mentality is incredible. He is going to find success as a starting QB. Just need to stop handicapping him.

Laroux. He's supposed to be a damn good snapper. The site for team, which is probably run on an angelfire domain, will likely list his role as DL coach, wr coach, trainer, bus driver, and half time hot dog sales associate. All for 8 bucks a game.

treveler wanted to make sure he wasn’t walking into a similar situation as last year. “Things happened last year where it just didn’t work out the way that I think anyone envisioned it would, on a lot of different fronts,” Streveler said, adding he’s excited to see what Hogan can do. “I’ve had some really good discussions with people, specifically within the Bombers. Had I not had those conversations with someone and felt excited, it would have probably been a different conversation, right?” erce seemingly unwilling to show any unique looks for Streveler. That seemed especially odd for an offence that struggled for much of the year, particularly early on, and could have used the spark. “I don’t really know why things went the way they went, to be honest with you. All I can tell you, from my perspective, is I broke a rib in the Ottawa game when I started, and maybe that that kind of hurt things a little bit,” Streveler said. “I was fine. I didn’t miss any time, didn’t miss any games. But I couldn’t really give you a great answer as to why things went the way they went, and that’s why I needed to have those conversations going into free agency. I think that there’s definitely a role that if I’m not starting, to do what we did in 2018 and ’19 and give a change of pace and add a different element. I know I can still do that.” Streveler said his rehab is way ahead of schedule; when he first got injured, doctors were projecting almost a year to reach full health, but Streveler said he is well on track to be ready for training camp in May. He’s already able to run and jump and has been throwing the ball three or four days per week, all while showcasing a positive attitude. Playing QB with a broken rib is no joke yikes.

To be fair, every year since like 19 more than one guy has gone back on a deal at the last minute when every one thought it was done. Usually seems to be dbs for some reason.

I think his play as a nose blinds a lot of his earlier play at 3. It is frequently designed that an end closes the pocket from behind and frees up a sack for another dl. JJ created soo many sacks for so many guys it’s not even funny. I recall him having a HH play on a turn over on downs play stopping a back with one arm while the other arm was full of ol. But idr what year that was lol. Westermans get off move was insane. He rushed the passer like a slot back on the waggle he was soo quick with the first steps.

As some one with significant trauma in the past I whole heartedly agree. People who haven’t yet made that choice, I chose to meet with empathy first and foremost. His actions aren’t excused. They do warrant a citation though imo.

He’s absolutely responsible and always ways. However being dehumanized and treated in ways that would sicken most people has serious long term issues. That era wasn’t exactly known for trauma support.

My rough top group of guys I’d take over smith. sanders, Peyton, lt, brown, Peterson, oj, Faulk, the bus, Dickerson, Henry, gore, and a few guys like mccaffrey, Holmes, Alexander, and Johnson. I think if you swap any of those guys, reasonably healthy onto any of smiths teams they wouldn’t miss a beat. And bring more dynamic play making/explosiveness. people talk about Marino not bringing home a ring aikman being a product of the system and talent. But they’re both ahead of smith for me. Aikman not far in front though lol. Durable as hell though. I’ll give him that. Ya. Which I could see. I think a lot of the 2 ring core vets will get a look.

the comparison is the gap between mikawos and Jake which is massive. You could argue smith in the 90s before he played ages beyond his prime, but he’s as much a product of the system and talent around him as any one in the hof. You’re right about monk though. That is a better comparison. Rb is soo insanely deep with talent when you look at the guys from the late 90s to before rb load management, it’s not even funny. Larry Allen the most outstanding player on that offense imo.

Tbh I’m not worried about guard and I wouldn’t pay Dobson top dollar. Wallace will be as good this year imo. This, C even more than RT is our issue.

I don’t get wanting to spend 230-300k on WRs, 200+ on a back and 600k on a qb but not paying dl. I’d much rather pay dl than wr or rb.

I think we got one more move either in free agency in the bargain bin or a trade maybe around draft time. I think we likely target db or maybe ol. It’s already been a very active off season for the cfl and surprising. Expect any thing tbh.

No doubt it’s crazy. It’s like Emmitt smith being the all time nfl rushing leader. But not even close to a top 5 or even 10 back. Is Jake a hofer? If mos has any thing to say lol. Honestly our dl talent in the all time pool hasn’t seen many guys join its rank in the past 30 years. I like Jake for a big chunk of his career, especially as a rotational 3tech. (Though I did want more dual big nt imps in 19/21) Im good if he goes into our hall. Hes a great guy and has played a very fruitful career here. Never a selfish moment. His usage since stove left isn’t his fault. I really hate what mos and others have done to guys like Jake. Watching guys run out who can’t play any more is awful. Unfortunately we’ve seen a hell of a lot of this the past 25 years.

We didn’t want to pay sayles. Or Kongbo. Or stove. We thought every guy we ran out would perform at that level. Even Jake. And he/they didn’t.

Yup. I think it’s actually easier in the cfl, if you have a nose and a couple 3 tech guys who can rush out of a 30, even more so if you have an end who can rush standing up. Guys who can kick in and outside are tremendous. Soo many rushers get caught up going one way only. Power or speed. By the fact is inside the line most teams are weak to any thing more than vanilla. Especially bit elite import athleticism. Stove wasn’t the best technical rusher inside. He was monstrously strong with incredible power. Using quickness to hit hard and drive angles around guards is money in the cfl. Casey sayles does it really well.

That was an extraordinary win for the Vic fangio style defense. The same we ran sooo much of last year. 0 blitzes, 6 sacks, 15 pressures on 32 pass plays. Almost a pressure on every other snap.

From the bits I’ve heard I have no doubt that his ire, distrust, and quick temper were stoked by circumstances outside of his control.

Too lazy to do the math, is that right? 7 months seems soo short I thought he was hurt early last year. But those early weeks and month to two was pretty bad.

If he had a decent play call in those games we might’ve seen the last of zach. the rider fans were the hardest on him imo. I wish I had an inside view as to what happened last year. Buck flashed potential in the past, saw some great game plans LT start games, and some really good adjustments. He let zach do what zach is best at for a while. That all changed soo hard last year, I feel like some thing had to have been up. Pure speculation, but I wonder if he wanted Dru brown to take over.

Strev carried us for two games, with the worst ol play we’ve had since drew willys days, and the worst wr play too. Even worse offensive play call and game plan as well. Dukes was as protected as humanly possible by the situation and system he played in. And he was still meh. I would pass on dukes, cut both riders and take Masoli in a heat beat. Best chance to go into a game off the bench and win. But we have strevy so that won’t happen. All these guys below strevy Zach and Wilson are tc arms. I think if you give Strev a decent system and let him make plays, he’d put pass dukes too. But I do agree, basically the worst case scenario with strevy is a guy who gives us hands down a better chance to win.

Fajardo had the same issue. I bet Montreal would be the best move for him. he isn’t better than Wilson, or strevy. He is better than the rider off casts. His fit is also worse here than most any place else. We’ve seen Wilson and strevy in the worst possible situations. Dukes was spoon fed the best possible situation. Dukes is in the same tier as the rider off casts, but he’s ahead of them just based on potential. In the cfl, the qb2 is gonna be leading your team at some point. I would not be ok with dukes being qb2 short of a massive leap forward from him.

Yeah I don’t get the take that strevy has his shot or can’t pass at all. We haven’t seen him run a normal offence in the cfl since 2018. We did see him run an offence with the jets in pre season. He needs to be allowed to run dynamically. He isn’t Mike Vick or Lamar Jackson. Being more of a power runner he shouldn’t be running a lot of designed plays. When he does they should be designed to get him in space for easy yards. Not hammering away option runs between the tackles.

He's raw. Last year was his second year and first starting. IF you aren't going to put arbuckle in in a situation like that, why have him on your roster? Remember, Wilson is OLDER than dukes still. He was a young guy forced into action virtually right away. You know what you get with Arbuckle, if a D has a chance to prepare for him they should beat him. Dukes is still largely an unknown he hasn't had the chance yet to try to adjust to how teams play him. Like I said, I'm not crazy about Dukes, arbuckle, or either rider off cast qb. But Dukes easily has the most potential of that whole group. All 3 are old and well-exposed in the CFL.

Doubt it. Think this will be his last season though.
