I assume he has no idea what cost of living is like in toronto vs wpg.

I feel like our NI WR group is better than our IMP WR group. which is a strange thing in the CFL. Looking at the guys listed as FAs on the cfl site id ideally like to see us bring in 2 of, arceneaux, roosevelt, chris wiliams, dresller, and terrence toliver. Maybe take a flier on mcdaniel, myles white again, or juron criner. Toliver would bring a big body to the red zone, arceneaux is that deep threat / big play guy and has the best chance to bounce back big next year, Williams would be a really interesting fit in our offense if plop used him well. Any of those first tier guys (for whats left) would be a good pick up. And if we had to shake someone loose in camp should someone like diontae spencer, duke williams etc come free it's not a big step back to cut em. We didnt, because we had more FAs then any other team we had more spots to fill. It seems to me like we do have a good chunk still left since we allegedly offered the same money to walker TO did.

The truth in this statement makes me soo sad.

Hes does actually. Because that exact same thing happened to wolitarsky when nichols came back.

You cant get production if you dont invest the attempts, and the scheme time in a guy. And then, you still have to get him the ball. Production doest win games, quality of play wins games. Bowman was a high production low quality guy. We dont need that. He didnt catch short passes. Thats revisionists history.

Exactly, if we get walker the guy at the bottom is out. who ever that is, and we are better for it.

Except he had a lot of catches deeper then 10 yards. Go look at his game log and the longest catch in each game. Or go back and watch some of his plays, the guy is dynamite down field beyond 15 yards.

Youre right, but if anything he would project HIGHER with better usage. We saw woli tearing the cfl up with streveler. in comes nichols, and he gets forgotten about for an extended period of time. Then gets worked back in and lights it up again. The same way weve gone away from harris for long stretches when he is playing great, or only give him a couple of touches in an entire half of football.

72.5% completion rate to thompkins, 55.4% to adams. in 17 games adams had 9 plays of 30 yards or more and 224 YAC yards. in 11 games thompkins had 3 and 126 YAC yards.

in 12 starts, being underused, with a lot of struggle at QB. Its quality of play, not stats. He isn't 31 now, and isn't a rookie now either. It's more like confirmation bias at play. We didn't have enough big-play production at WR. Sure we didn't USE the imp wrs well, and sure we didn't protect the QB as well last year, and sure the level of play at QB was a drop off last year, but the WR didn't get stats and is 30! Adarius bowman was target 4 and a half times per game last year. Thompkins was targeted under 4 times per game. Lankford was targeted 4.5 times per game, dressler 5.25, 6.5 for darvin adams etc. If you take the attempts to darvin adams, have them caught at thompkins catch rate over thompkins YPC average, you get just under 1200 yards in less then 18 games. Despite being under used, poorly used, and in a situation where we struggled to protect the qb, and get the ball down field.

he didnt give essentially zero. thats the point. he made a ton of tough catches in traffic and picked up good YAC.

wilder didnt live up to the previous expectations after forcing a raise in the previous offseason. Id still take him over sutton though.

this is a win for us

all thomkins did when given a chance is make plays. guys can win jobs, and he could easily take a spot.

soo true.

If I was them, id sell the farm to try n get streveler from us. I think ray calls it a career.

The thing about derel walker is, how many games will he play? He averages about 12 games a year. If you give him mega bucks, and he misses 6 games you can recoup a bunch of money from IR. If he plays the whole year he is probably going to be a top 3 wr in the league. At this point, I think we need to be playing to win now. If we dont sign a guy like walker, or 2 of the next tier lower guys cheap, we need to trade for a wr on that level of play.

I really like how demski evolved in our offense. He needs to work on ball security but he is a great guy to have around. I think the general lack of caring is a combination of confidence in our other young NI wrs, and the expectation that we were going to get a top flight imp wr.

jennings imo is way better then bishop was at this stage of his career. weve seen crazier things in the cfl, but at this point id say he is what he is. a very poor mans version of mike reilly.

Agree, but I think the time to do that comes much later. If another bighill type of nfl cut comes available, then go over. I wouldnt do it any earlier then that. Still need flexibility in camp and the season.

700k? nah I wouldnt do that. Not unless the cap goes up a good bit. I would make an offer though. And I think every team in the league would be wise to do so. If some one wants to go full crazy, even better. Now they have hand cuffed their own cap status. After last year I dont think nichols is in teir two. Top of teir 3 and threatening t2 again for sure. If rounded up favorably, Hes still behind masoli and harris imo. Im not a fan of masoli though. agree. The question will be how long we can maintain that. If we did it past next year and gave streveler a raise things would get awful tight imo. But for now its a great situation for us.

Id split em up on opposite sides, matthews at slot adams at wr. Let them stretch the field vertically and let matthews pull the sam away from the box. Chris williams skill set would be amazing in plops system. If we could get two low risk hi reward types, like williams, matthews, roosevelt, arceneaux etc thatd be a win in my books. Also leaves us the flexibility to cut one or both of those guys or others to bring in an NFL camp cut like duke williams should he shake loose.

two very different players though. With out bighill id take sherrit over jsk.

Imo, if the best qb in the league hits free agency every team should be in on it. That said MR didnt really hit fa. Always consider every position, especially when you have an easy chance to upgrade. But to put too much work into it is a waste.

The most active and least productive at the same time.
