  1. Work too much and sleep not nearly enough. Pretty similar. Work frequently involves me waiting, and being on my phone.
  2. Ohh that makes sense. We were closer to being blown out twice than winning 2. Score flattered us by a lot.
  3. Nailed it. We’ve got upside but people are treating us like the 21 team is showing up one day. It isn’t.
  4. I think if we miss the play offs mos old boys club gets taken out like old yeller. If we get blown out in a semi game probably still happens. More success than that, yes I think you’ll see another run back. Yeah it’s real hard with our schedule. If we have a bad first 6 the middle section will be hard to make up ground. I feel like the 01 squad lost early but even going back to 00 ended playing hard competitive ball. Good teams lose close games great teams win the close games. We did make some key vet pick ups in that era and had key young guys stepping up. We don’t have much of that right now.
  5. I don’t believe any one in the organization was ready for this, and I think it’ll still take more to get past the shock and make some thing happen. I think we have to be worse than 2-4 at the 6 game point. However even at that it’ll be Really hard to bounce back with our mid schedule.
  6. Yeah. I know for sure biggie, Kyrie, and karamoko/cole have taken a huge huge majority of lb reps. Like 99% probably. Also, tanner has always been good but this year he’s been by far our best teams guy. That no yards was really bone headed, rookies will be rookies though.
  7. I haven’t seen him in any reps on D, only kick cover. That would be the best possible move.
  8. We have too much character to be smarty pants with the roster… our culture will carry us once again… from 14-4 to 4-14
  9. Thisisfine.meme idk if I should laugh or cry at that depth chart.
  10. Stares grounds keeper willyily. That would make sense with why he’s soo nuts though lol imagine if they get good and have crowds again they could give away elk calls for people to use during the game.
  11. Motion is define life, I never had bad injury problems in football, my athletics frequently got derailed by getting injured off the field lol. Seems like I have no minor injuries these days though. It’s all stuff that derails me. I actually kept training and only missed one day when I tore up my calf and just modified what I did. I wonder if it’d be worth cutting a deal with edm to get Mathis. They use their first on him then trade him to us for a first/package of player/nl/picks. Maybe kick in kola haha.
  12. 4.58 40 which is more than enough for up here 36.5” vert 7.14 3 cone 4.51 shuttle 9’11 broad. You’d ideally like to see a bit more jump but with that frame and a wing span to match and what looks like tremendous ability to catch in tight spaces this guy should be a gooder. I could see Zach loving that guy, and if you play him out of the slot good luck defending him. Compare his numbers to clercius 6’7 203 to 6’2 217. 4.59 34” 10’9 7.28 4.57. Aside from clercius bring strong for his build/wr with 15 reps and the broad numbers they are very close. The outlier of the draft, mci put up 4.51 35.5” 10’2 6.71 4.19.
  13. Sucks for us then lol. mid 30s are pretty close to middle aged sadly enough. lol I messed up my calf being that guy. Still no regrets. This also works for the middle aged athletics discussion
  14. https://3downnation.com/2024/06/27/cfl-to-host-supplemental-draft-for-giant-north-dakota-state-rec-zach-mathis/ this should be interesting. Given our injuries at wr I’d probably say bid a 3rd rounder on him. Maybe a 2nd if you really like him.
  15. They could tack on contingencies to his suspension, they could void his contract, other guys have been barred before. Let him fight it in court after the investigation finds he was guilty. In this era you have to come down hard on gambling with in the league and your own games. We've seen other pro leagues do the same.
  16. If you want to catch mos with a gotchya type question it would have to be really well crafted and more based around his rhetoric than any thing. Tricking him into following one of his common lines. He’s soo by the book it is easy to predict but hard to trip up. I think that’s part of the real reason too, he’s not an improv guy and if he gets off rhetoric I think he’d get in deep water quickly with media. Id probably go with some thing around the massive increase in teams playing a 0 tech on the dl vs us and only us with great effect and why we are struggling with that and exchange/twist/stunts inside in pass pro Far easier to photo shop eli into a buds Hell week picture than any thing.
  17. Allegedly 10 out of 11 kickers requested to not have it for kicking in the feed back too. League just ignored it.
  18. Right? Holy eff that guy needs to go.
  19. https://3downnation.com/2024/06/26/randy-ambrosie-laments-embarrassing-public-comments-by-cfl-kickers-denies-impact-on-microchip-football-rule-change/ more like fans and players lament embarrassing commissioner.
  20. Eli would be the biggest upgrade, since Wallace is raw and eli can help neuf. Also, few dts will want to play 20-30 snaps in 0 tech when facing eli. So we would see more friendly alignments as well. However, as the guy who is frequently not head up on a dt neuf has been brutal. Which is the easier role. My biggest concern with just swapping C is how much worse neuf will likely get. He fights injuries ever year and continues to play but is significantly reduced by late season. Right now he’s as fresh as can be and still immobile and struggling a lot. The question isn’t if with neuf now it’s when. And it will be sooner rather than later. It could be advantageous to make the one switch, work Wallace in more reps with the heavy set, then start Wallace in a few weeks while neuf goes to 6th ol. A lot of change in a short period is hard for the ol.
  21. No doubt, but his mobility on fresh legs is scary bad. He should be captaining that side and he just isn’t. I think at best you hide one ol. It’s harder when it’s a tackle but you can do it. We have the guys to fix c and rg we don’t at Rt imo. I’ll add that with that change our next issue would be 6th ol and heavy set. Kola can’t be the edge guy. Double switching eli to edge and kola to C is a bad idea and risks snap issues. Personally I’d look for an ni ol for the bench, and work with schmekel and hubert on the goal line package.
  22. He hasn't been seeing the same look, teams haven't adjusted to him yet. He can stand up to a bull rush well. He cant do much other than hold in in run pro. same. His quickness would be big. Idk if he has the eyes or mind for it, but we won't know till we try and BA is done, cant be worse than him. Yeah that all pretty much tracks. Too many holes to fill right now. Problems are Kola>>>>Neuf>>>>Lofton. With a better guard beside him lofton might perform better. He signed a 3 year deal going into the 23 season, so he's still under contract for a bit.
  23. We also have kendall Randolph imp ol on the pr. Both are guards that we are trying to convert to RT. Neither is particularly close right now, Vanterpool was prolific in college with an incredible streak not giving up a sack or taking a penalty. He has great size, length and athleticism. Lofton is the same, a good college guard that has been stuck at RT up here. He plays like it too. But he’s 30-31, where as the other two are 25 ish. I don’t think hardrick would be better in pass pro, and no way would I pay him what ssk gave him. But he would be better in run pro. Tbh we should be able to find an imp RT who would be turn key from down south, likely after nfl cuts. I don’t expect we will though because they penned lofton In as starter the moment they signed him.
  24. No doubt that whole side is a mess. That said, holm hasn’t looked good this year either. Ba hasn’t shown any leadership in sorting it out either.
  25. I’d sure say so. It’s not like the old days where the back up ni wr was basically a position less teams guy. Wr is probably the deepest wealthiest ni position in the league today.
