  1. Ended the season on the pr (unless he was cut before idr) which makes him a fa, who we haven’t signed. Offence lost. You don’t win gcs in the modern era scoring in the low 20s with less tds than the other team. 2 games, 419 passsing yards 2 picks 0 passing tds. That’s how you lose gc games. Fajardo put up 290 3 tds and 1 pick. It’s an offensive, passing league. The two loses blame starts and ends at qb. Other players and positions could’ve won the game for us. But we lost it on offence.
  2. Sure, and we might well draft one global punter if the other guys we picked aren’t coming (doesn’t seem like they are) with two kickers in camp though and one punter I don’t think we see more than one leg if that.
  3. Castillo has been a full time punter in the league, he has 134 punts in his career. We also have the rights to 2-3 other global punters from previous drafts.
  4. Hell yeah. Last year was easily the worst performing sts unit (sans k) we’ve seen under an mos team. It was nuts how much field position we gave away each game when trading punts/kick offs. For sure the janky scheme was part of it. He seemed on board with in early talking about how we were trying some thing different. He has stepped in before to force adjustments on D. Idk maybe he wanted to give enough rope or maybe he thought it could work. Mos will give you all the rope you could ever want to build a noose. Takes a long time to finally hang but it does happen. we also didn’t do any fakes save for the horrific on side punt attempt. We used to keep teams on their toes last year we got real long in the tooth. I think we will see a very different attitude and play style on both teams and D.
  5. Easy. And we wouldn’t have the probably 20+ shanks or ultra low yard boots we saw last year.
  6. Castillo is a fine punter. If you’re gonna have him kick off no point in carrying a punter imo. If we can get a really good global punter and kick off guy that’s solid. It all pivots on how we draft though. If we can get useful ni/g dl for this year that’ll be huge.
  7. Just Castillo I think. De/dt, db, wr/rb/kr are strong bets imo. We always love extra lbers too. Karamoko has a good chance to be on the active roster as well. Which between ford and Kramdi means maybe no db.
  8. Or a ni/g. Hopefully we take a long look at that in the drafts. Could also look at kongbo who is still a fa. We also run a dt outside semi frequently. I agree haba isn’t jj overall. Similar at getting after the passer but hard to be as good in the run soo early on.
  9. Hansen the best global player we’ve seen, kongbo who went to and stuck in the nfl getting a pension, plus Habba and we’ve cut/traded talented pass rushers because we’ve had a lot jam. Started out with a sack per game till he lost the spot to Jackson. Ended at a point where in a full season hed a had 9-10 sacks. Plus our use of guys inside out like sayles and walker, then going back through the massive amount of dt talent we’ve found. Dl scouting isn’t a problem, next to db it’s probably been our best position of trying recruiting in the walters era.
  10. I’m not concerned with our ability to find play makers on the dl. It’s not the hardest spot to recruit and we’ve done it very well in the past, both with in the cfl from down south and in both drafts. I just hope that we get unstuck from mediocre players and systems. I am encouraged by the moves this off season that this will improve as well. Probably still have our usual “what’s he doing on the roster” guy. Hopefully not starting. Maybe it’ll be Schmekel. It’s going to be interesting to see how the fifo crew manage with the largest amount of roster turn over yet.
  11. Talented guy with the ball in his hands. But one of those guys who doesn’t have a great way to get the ball with out taking away from Brady. Good change of pace back but we don’t split Carries. And to be honest we can get better backs, he didn’t take the step he needed to as a pass catcher. It’s tough with that kind of hybrid talent. Lots of guys who are dynamic but not polished at any thing.
  12. Strev with buck is gonna be nuts. Plop didn’t use Strev with much creativity, he is just that dynamic a player. Team is gonna be a nightmare to prep for.
  13. He’s a beast. The best first year cfl prospect we have, and we have a bunch of guys who were on nfl rosters and very well thought of. He should’ve gotten way more looks down south.
  14. I think he’s been put in the boat with jeffcoat but I’d love to be wrong about that.
  15. I don’t think any one has 3 more talented QBs or a better set of QBs going into camp in the league.
  16. Really good pick up. He made a Vikings team that had a good group of WRs, as a wr. He was a good kr in college, but isn’t a kr that plays wr. He’s a wr that does kr for touches. Great hands, attacks the ball and makes catches in the smallest windows. Great body control and balance. https://m.facebook.com/UAB.Blazers/videos/myron-mitchell-top-5-catches-from-2019/599405780924055/ Itd be great if we carry two guys like that one as the 5th wr and one as a kr while being able to interchange them on both kr and the offence.
  17. Easily the best qb prospect we’ve brought up since streveler and maybe the best prospect qb we’ve brought up from the us in atleast 20-25 years. Likely means he will be cut in rookie camp, or a final tc cut lol.
  18. https://3downnation.com/2024/04/17/dublanko-cracks-sixth-spot-in-final-scouting-bureau-rankings-ahead-of-2024-cfl-draft/ 9ol in the top 16. That bodes well for the league. Though I think as many as 5 of those will be nfl bound for now. That still is good for us who need to stock the cupboard but don’t necessarily need a body in camp this year. I think Duguay is better than the 7th best ol, but it is a strong top heavy group. I’m thinking 2-3 of those guys never reach the cfl. A couple more could be 2-3 year waits as well. Man it could be a huge power shift if a team can get 2-3 of those guys too. If I was a middling team I’d be trying to pack picks in the middle 1st to early 3rd to try and hoard some of those ol.
  19. To be fair, stove missed half of 2021 too. I love the guy but I’ve got no expectations for him. He’d be a flyer at this point far from a projectable starter.
  20. True, though they have even more reason to go with a good pass pro back which Stan field isn’t. Watching Hamilton and bc consistently go after washed backs is soo odd. They haven’t been punished for not holding him back to date why start now. The difference this year with jeffcoat is we get him for 1/3 less of a season. A lot of opportunity to improve from the guys we moved on from. Dl is one of those spots that’s easy to find high quality imps at too.
  21. You think that’s a good job of replacing guys?
  22. All great picks, and it seems like we’ve got a bumper crop of prospects this year. For me the position battle to watch will be db/wr. We’ve got plenty of openings and it’s likely rookies will fill those spots. 1 starting wr, 1 kr, likely 2 dbs. Here’s a few guys I think will be good watches and could have a big camp. Ronnie brown. 5 11 185lbs dual threat rb who tore up d2. Also damn near made the bucks active roster couple years ago as tcf. Don’t know how he would/could be fit in, but I think he’s gonna go off on camp and pre season. Db terrell bonds has a good chance to take one of the starting db spots. NFL experience, kick cover and kr experience, started in ufl very productive in college. vanterpool at T is a guy to watch in the replacement for bond. Played g and t, very highly regarded in the nfl for a bit, huge streak with out giving up a sack or taking a penalty with great size. lber Michael Ayers, dominated d2 and has prototypical wil size and athleticism Jordan Lewis is another prolific lower level de/wil tweener to watch.
  23. Nope, or his gig selling surgical stuff. He’s one of the most under utilized assets around Canadian football. I do believe you are right and that the commish has to live in gta for head offices. I think bc would be good with it. Ssk honestly hates randy enough that they’d take Doug or wade happily. Bc I think would be good with him, Alberta wouldn’t like him but they are two dumpster fires with fractional fan bases rn. pinball in reality would likely get the first shot at that job.
