Yeah, that’s a great description. It’s hard to tell how big he is currently. 260,267 bigger even. If he is close to or 270 he might even be the dt spot for us. Seems like one of those hard to quantify athletes. Iowa is a good place to be recruiting dl too I bet atleast 1 guy renegs on his agreement.

If it’s an incentive based deal with a lower base I’d be good with it. Love what he brings when he’s actually on the field. -
With how they benched rose for the gc, and the changes we’ve seen already I don’t think ba will be old boys clubbed into a starting position. Great guy to have in camp, low risk high reward. Perfect scenario is he trains up other young dbs to becoming the next him. 5% for 5 yards of depth or more? I would, as long as it’s not at the cost of hang time. Those bede kick offs make it real hard on the return team. Another guy like that isn’t in the league tho imo I think that’s going to be the plan A. Hard to pay grant big money with the unknown state of the ko return game. He played it for money last fa and didn’t get it. He was awesome last year, when healthy. But not healthy nearly enough.

Stove made others better where as sayles became better as an individual player. Stove was more than the sum of his individual play imo. He also didn’t come close to maxing out his potential. Damn shame. Sayles though stays healthy and gets better constantly. We still haven’t seen his best yet either.

Completely different players though. And Sayles was excellent. Normally we would run a nose, and a guy who would play some 3t as well as some 2, and end and really line up a diverse numbers of ways. Those guys were the smaller athletic guys who were basically interior pass rushers. Sayles and walker are both guys like that. Thomas has played that spot too when we had nose tackles. 3T is a very under rated pass rusher in modern football. They often get initial pressure, and either feast off a nose tackle or create space for an end. When you see 30 front defences get a bunch of pressure, it’s generally with the des starting in the B gap in this type of alignment or working into it with their rush move. They can be harder to grade in 40 fronts when you just have one and they dont take the 3t spot every snap they play. But their primary role is to get in the back field and break up plays. They start the pressure ball rolling. Walker took a good step forward last year after the first few weeks. But honestly I’ll be happy to have new blood at dt. Having a 3t is significantly diminished when you just run 1 and don’t have a nose tackle.

Oakman and kongbo would make me very happy on team friendly deals. Other than preseason he’s been one of the guys that come in for the late season pre post season throw away games. He’s looked real good in those sporadic reps but he’s also been hurt 2-3 times just doing that. Either way it’s next man up.

Could well be. Their cut down day should be interesting. Iirc the usfl had rules with the contracts where guys could go to the nfl but not here end of season. Is that the case now I wonder -
I’d be happy if that was true. Biggest question is and will be his health. He can play, I wouldn’t be worried to break camp with him starting at rt. Either way I do expect to see a fist full of tackles come in. Hoping for gray to be back and get a crack at rt first and foremost. I fully believe that’s where he’s best off. How you feeling about today as a greenback? Lots of movement for sure.
-
Hey drew, yeah about that raise… just take it out of the 3 years salary where you played 3 games. I mean I’m sure they would’ve given him a reasonable deal with some incentives where if he starts / plays more than half the snaps he could get paid as a starter. He probably thought he had them over a barrel.

Edm spending on sts with bede and leak it’s not crazy money by other position standards in the cfl. By db standards it is though. -
For all the press team know he could still be at camp! richmond, that sucks. Next man up. Gray is the only ni with a chance of playing T here. Vanterpool would be the favourite rn, but I expect we will see a flood of more imps brought in now. We’ve done very well with other teams reclamation ol. Bond and hardrick were both off casts. I would not at all be surprised to see us bring in a similar back up imp from around the league. Maybe even bring back one of our former pr guys who’ve been around the league. We had a couple tackles on the pr last year with high upside wouldn’t be surprised if one or more corn back. If machino resigns I’m gonna be scared all off season lol. Maybe, won’t know better till later in the off season the bonus money counts against their bonus cap this year either way

Harris, 480k. Aj 200k probably. Hardrick 230k plus the signing bonus of 120. Bane 182k plus 12k bonus. zach 600. Brady 240. Bryant 190k. Dalton 230. 1.26m vs 1.09m before bonuses. 1.15+ with bonuses for the year. Yes, we have lawler at big money. No regrets. Our group is easily twice as good as their group for 15-20% more. Plus they are out spending like drunken sailors on other guys once again. costs Ferrari money to own a Ferrari. The riders are paying base model / year old Ferrari money for a Honda minivan.
