  1. Cherry picking. 2nd to 4th round picks are worthy way more than you’re claiming. Who is available as an ni mid season that is better than that? Teams that don’t draft well in the middle rounds don’t have high value Canadians. How many first round picks in walters era are still on the roster? 3. How many are starters this year? 1. How many second rounders are on the roster? 5. How many are starters currently 2 plus couture and hallett. 3 out of the last 5 years no first round pick. You don’t want to see the split in ni starts for the bombers by draft round. The first round gets slaughtered. Our retention of first round picks in that era is very low. What was faith ekakities value the year after he was picked first over all? The bombers have lost more talent this year to the nfl, cfl fa and injuries than the riders have lost in the last 5 years. The combined roster of loses since the 19 grey cup wins would be the second best team in the league easily.
  2. Hense under contract for next year. Guy like jagared Davis for this grey cup run and next year to rotate with Wj and jj? I’d give either the pick or Dobson up for that. It is supposed to be. Though you don’t really know till the week of the draft. I think our history of trading draft picks contradicts that a bit. For a single year grey cup rental I’d probably want a de and a wil both all star type guys and maybe a bit of sweetener. Couldn’t say no to Avery Williams and mauldin for instance. Even as rentals. Assuming kyrie wouldn’t be back. I would guess that on the pick he did some thing dirty. Considering blocks to the back seldom get flags little on fines I’d assume it was real bad. Which is strange Walker made some great disciplined plays I don’t suspect we will hear from the bombers. If it was legit dirty they’ll sit him this week.
  3. Neither. You’d keep all three. Personally I would be looking at sending a first and some sweetener ideally. If it’s for a top tier guy under contract next year then dig deeper with a guy like Dobson. Maybe Chris jones would want one of our back up qbs or bolo to play db.
  4. Yeah I think it’s like the nichols trade. They thought neufeld peaked when clearly he hadn’t. They thought he was expendable. Bad teams make bad personnel moves. 100%. They’d kill to have him now.
  5. I actually like the argos chances a lot this week. Vaj seldom has good games back to back and coming off a humiliating loss the previous week I think tor will be very motivated. The hype train for this lions team is never gonna end. They’ll lose in the first round of the play offs and 3dn will right anxious opining about how they’d a won by 4 tds in every game if rourke was healthy. Top drawer sir. I love Dobson but I would trade him for the right de or wil if kyrie won’t be back. Maybe with a kr for pick kick in.
  6. I believe that’s confirmed. and I love it. Two dbs with good league experience and lots of gas in the tank. I do like adams a lot but I’d really like to see us get another good pass rusher unless we are going to roster a guy and actually use them. wonder if we will see another trade or if we are done.
  7. No1 most boned team in the league for injuries imo, bc. Aside from stove missing the whole season and their other prized off season dl pick up missing like 10 games the team they are with rourke vs with out is huge. No2 ott. The difference between Masoli and the rest of that heap of qbs is huge. no3 is the bombers. Half a damned defense a bunch of wrs constant injuries on the line. stanback in Montreal is a bigger lose than the riders suffered this year. I would say the riders are the average for injury loses on the season.
  8. Damn that is a crazy combined loss for the argos. This years modp is going to be legit tough. I suspect it’ll be between sankey dean and Willy j in the west. This is a year some dbs should get love but they probably won’t.
  9. Or guys that Ritchie brought in after being cut by other teams only get lots of use out of still. Mcgriggs nash Marvin Coleman etc db is a peculiar spot and we run a very particular defense. Darby fits what we do like a glove. Really the more safety skills you have as a db here the better.
  10. They’ve been listing cooper at de but he’s 220 lbs and played lber in school. He’s also dressed for 3 games and not played a snap. I wouldn’t expect him to be taking meaningful reps at de. Bronson is listing at 277 I’m guessing he’s going to be used similar to walker and sayles as well. Adams is good but even with a healthy Wj and jj that’s thin for us. And safety. He can basically play any defensive position. If ba wasn’t healthy he’d be the guy to put at s. I expect he will be taking a hb role. sure would be nice to get houston back this year. Atleast one of the young dbs holm hassell and parker need to step up. And rose too. Yep
  11. Love getting Darby back. That’s huge. Kind of odd that we sent wilcotts when we are paper thin at dl as well. Maybe they have some one on the verge of signing
  12. https://3downnation.com/2022/10/04/lemon-for-dpoy/ The modp is wide open especially in the west This year but I don’t think lemon deserves it. Half of his sack production has come against Edmonton. In 6 games against the bombers and lions he has 1 sack 9 tackles 0 ff.
  13. He’s still not good, but he makes the right decisions and the interior isn’t trying to cover for him to the point they fail at their own assignments. He’s a great guy to have on the roster. Hope couture is back starting soon. Didn’t realize they took him off the pr.
  14. Not too surprised I mean he was crazy explosive. Like usain Ryan crouser. Every so often a guy like that comes a long. Crazy how many don’t make it to or through college. a lot of rbs end up going pro with a ton of wear and tear. Every one is losing their mind over kayleb Wagner breaking records putting up nearly 40 caries a game. Better faster back. But not as quick imo. The best back in history imo.
  15. The quickest shiftiest player I’ve ever seen in any league at any level. I don’t think he needed the same work out regiment. But I think being leaner, and stronger would’ve made him into an nfl player. Nothing was going to give him a top speed gear. And with the nature of his bursty change of direction running any thing that put more wear on his hips knees and plantar facia to high ankle area would’ve shortened his career.
  16. Db yeah but I think he was an extreme outlier in that era. He was the first interior linemen I can recall in the cfl who was a top level athlete (national rugby team iirc) if stove played the length of dbs career in the cfl he’d be at worst the second best dt in league history. most every position out side of ol is like that in football now. The big difference is that most dts in the cfl can run like des used to and des are better run jump athletes than half the wrs in the league 20 years ago.
  17. He would make moe elewonibi come out of retirement so he could re retire. people are talking about the Jump athletically from then to now and I agree at most positions like rb and wr it’s not huge. Not like going back to the 80s. But on the line, things have changed dramatically. and among the new generation of athletes playing interior line positons stove is still a different kind of animal.
  18. It’s also worth noting that for the first half or so of our games played we ran more than we do now to much less effect. Less touches for wrs and more demand for deeper passes to make first downs. I’m not worried about our starters at wr at all. If we can being back lawler at a reasonable rate in the off season then great. If roadhouse some how isn’t nfl bound fantastic. But If we go into camp next year with a core of demski woli Bailey ellingson gmac bolo and agudosi I’m good with it. Gmac has shown he can be a focal point of the offense or a guy that gets mixed in. Next year I think he will take a huge step forward and be like schoen now. Too good not to give a lot of touches. if we lose schoen and ellingson And don’t get lawler I could see us being in the market for a vet wr. But even then more of a low risk high reward move than having to over pay for a star. Collaros develops wrs into stars.
  19. Hof I agree he should get a nod. Crazy how long he’s been good for. I think mo would’ve been close with another couple seasons too. Hurts that he and randle island missed out on the great success.
  20. This. Love Jake but no chance. Jeffcoat would go up before him and even he doesn’t have much of a chance. kyrie Wilson if he can come back and sustain his play earlier this year and in the stretch run last year would go up.
  21. I think milt Bruce sellers and blink would be as hard to defend as any one playing today. But I think the 02 team would get beat on the line of scrimmage by the 21d.
  22. I think the depth was still pretty good but they performed like mercenaries. Not like a team. I mean you have soo many guys on that team that are all time bests at their position for the team. Best of their position that team vs this team would be mostly 01 guys.
  23. Love seeing that young man kick ass and take names. Hope they pay him well in the off season.
  24. 01 team had a better defense. 01 team had bigger stars. This team, is a winner. Easily a better unit today. The 01 team was less than the sum of its pieces. This team is more.
  25. A lot of the same names have been said. And great picks too. I love what Wj does and brings I think he has a few much better defensive players a head of him in the list. demski is a sleeper imo. A few more years with his continually increasing productivity could lead to him getting in. sleeper pick part two is ba. Again if he has a lengthy career I think he’d be ripe to join.
