every day i watch and wait for the signing. waiting.... waiting.....

Dimanche is a great, great athlete. Its gonna be fun when one of these type of guys finally click for us. Prewitt. The guy can hit, but he still wraps up and attacks the ball really well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF7H6L1LV6k Streveler is interesting. A big strong dual threat qb, who is a touch passer. Throws very catchable passes, and has a very quick release. Not the prettiest passes, clearly head and shoulders better then the teams he played.

I wouldnt under estimate his willingness to sit out half a year in hopes of landing a NFL tc invite or some thing.

Woods and reed is interesting. Guess reed plays wil for them. Now its just henoc left. Gods i hope we sign him. https://www.cfl.ca/2018/02/20/free-agent-lb-taylor-reed-joins-argos/

I think thats mostly awareness with bear woods. He is very cerebral, and puts him self in great positions to make plays. Reed is a bit more wild and more of a mid field type guy, an old school roving line backer. Thats why I think reed might mesh really well with what we do. hes a lot better at getting after the passer then what weve had at MLBer for a long while. Any of the three would be a gigantic upgrade over hurl last season. That poster always kinda creeps me out. Looks like a ripped steve dulcich for any hot rod people familiar with him.

not to mention what 2 nfl teams, 3 stints total. Going back to the nfl after being on the PR here etc. Hes 26, crazy athletic for his build, and a really talented in the box line backer. He could actually really shine if used the way we tried to deploy hurl previously. He isnt as good at getting back into plays or getting back into mid zones as muamba is, or at forcing fumbles but hes got plenty of strengths and his best football is still a head of him. Its the cfl, guys bounce around a lot. Especially now a days. Id rather henoc then Reed. Reed vs bear woods is a bit more tough. Just because woods is on he back end of his career and the best is yet to come for reed.

http://3downnation.com/2018/01/19/details-on-riders-and-zach-collaros-restructured-contract/ 430k with no incentives, my god thats crazy. "Collaros has lost 12 straight starts dating back to 2016, one short of the CFL record. He completed 62.7 per cent of his passes for 1,743 yards with eight touchdowns (lowest among the league’s starters at the time) and seven interceptions in 2017, but the Ticats did give up 21 sacks and 77 pressures." If i was a rider fan i would not be happy with the qb situation.

lol, I think thats lost right now. Im a westerman fan, but like willis he got more off sides penalties then sacks. I can specifically recall 2 last year where he was drawn off sides, the other team took a free play and scored on it. Penalties after the play or penalties before. In general id much rather have penalties from aggressive play then ticky tack calls (hands to the face, illegal contact) and have a team that plays on the edge then comes out soft.

Could be a dark year for buonos exit.

Id take any of the big 3 mlbers available. Any of them would be such a gigantic upgrade for us, it wouldnt be funny. Muambas familiarity with the city and pass port would make him the highest on the list though. I dont think we did, but winning the turn over battle is a huge advantage in the game. If you win the TOP and turn overs you wil a hell of a lot of games. 2nd and long plays that are short of the first down can also make a big difference in an on going battle of field position. If its 2nd and 20 and you pick up 10 yards and punt, that makes a noticeable difference in the game when you are trading field goals or each threatening to drive into FG range regularly. Gotta keep em honest for sure, but its one part of our offense im in strong agreement with.

That depends on if they still want to rotate DL a lot. Especially ends. Walters sounded like he didnt want to, but roh makes it seem other wise. Imo, jeffcoat has more upside then ogopogo or roh. They are all in a similar level in terms of pass rushing skill. Ogopogo a bit more polished. But jeffcoat only has one partial year under his belt. Itll be much clearer to see this year how jeffcoat performs, but i can see him stepping up and becoming a 20 ish sack guy. Hes that good. Roh also brings an edge to our DL. Our OL has a bunch of nasty hard nosed guys. Our dl not soo much. Its good to have that guy with gravel in his gut and spit in his eye. And since we can rotate him, we can limit the cost of penalties. It would also give us the chance to make subs and use one of the ends as a jack-lber, a stand up pass rusher. In place of the times we sent hurl to no affect what so ever we could send one of those three off an edge or through a twist gap etc.

So a 2nd and long play?

They didnt over pay, they paid the bare minimum to attract vets to a dumpster fire that has been taking high level FAs and turning them into un wanted junk. Some men you just cant reach. Reed doing his best to be the worst gm of the decade.

Soo true lol. But with the ability we have (on paper) to spread the field in all directions that can actually be successful. Id still rather see more of those routes be slants / short inside post/corners that get the ball into the hands of the WR with out breaking stride. The esks with ray et al used to be masters of seam buster routes like that.

With thomas a FA, westy gone, and roh I think our chances of starting a NI dl are low. Roh, jeffcoat and ogopogo are all too far a head of corney. Short of corney putting it all together. We can count on 2 ni ol, 1 ni wr, 1 ni rb, 1 ni S. Id like to see us start a 2nd ni wr (coates atm) and have that wr platoon with lafrance. Muamba would make the ratio in that situation work perfectly. While we have some young NI dbs and OL with potential to step in and corney as well. Atm id rather project foketi as a starting OL then return to newfie or push one of the young guys too soon. I think couture/spooner is the future of our ratio along with jones/morgan.

muamba woods or taylor reed would be a huge upgrade. Ideally we sign one of them to an incentive laden deal, then bring in some prospects to push said MLBer hard. But if we got any one of the three id be over the moon. After that IDK how much better our off season could get.

Aside from being one guy in the face of a mountain of names who didnt come back at all, he was 30 in his come back season and recovered at 29. Mo was 31 when he blew it out. Those couple years believe it or not do make a difference. One successful case also doesnt change the probability. Want to buy some used lotto tickets? They COULD be winners.... This type of injury past 30 isnt like a pulled hammy. Its like your third TJ surgery on the ucl. "that on average players took eleven months to return to play, had an average 50 percent reduction in power ratings, and around 30 percent never returned"

He needs seasoning for sure and yeah that era was rough in general for them. Hes my ideal type of guy for a no3 spot. Have him do holding on field goals, short yardage and you can use him in an option package. If the no1 qb goes down you dont change any thing on hold/short yardage. If you end up at your no3 qb for any length of time might as well be some one who can run the option and churn out some steady yardage. He may develop into some thing special as a starter. Or he may be bryan bennett with a much better passing acumen.

Bond is going to be moved over to tackle. We know there isnt a better guard in the cfl, tackle is a whole other game. Its like the green twilight zone of cfl fa.

Cody fjardo signs with bc. I low key hoped we'd get him some how. I always worry when wally gets a qb.

Plop must be breathing into a brown paper bag right now. Over loaded with excitement at what can be done. Stretch the field side line to side line, break Ds with runs up the gut, stretch the ball down field, catch and run guys this offense is filthy. Depth at qb to boot. On paper this offense rivals the best weve put together in a hell of a long time.

And then neglects the run game entirely for the next 2 quarters of football. But seriously if we deploy that properly, two back with harris and lafrance and use demski in the jet sweep stuff, with dressler, adams and bowman to stretch the field length wise, forget about it. That is an OCs wet dream for offensive weapons.

Not to mention the level of play most players return to after the age of 30 from an achilles. But who has time for science when blind faith says hes stil Mo. And mo knows football. Im not holding my breath. If half way through next year mo is close to the mo of old, ill be tickled. I love mo. Im pulling for him. Weve had guys who were good players (and not) that I didnt really like but hoped would work out. Mo is borderline blue bomber royalty. Hes an all star in the community, and as a person. And he conducts him self in a manner more people should strive for. And hes one hell of a football player. A guy who does all the little things that made careers like wade millers, while being incredibly talented and athletic as well.

More likely his college listed size was bunk. A lot of schools will list guys at what ever they say instead of what they measure out at. Certainly a guy poised to make things happen in camp this year. I take every thing that comes from riderville with a severe grain of salt. That said its possible. Hes still a guy who is incredible at scraping to the ball and making hard tackles. He is also a guy you dont have to hide on passing downs. And hes a strong teams player. Henoc muamba is just a damn good football player. Hes the type of Mlber you want. If you replaced hurl with henoc last year the season would have been a lot different. I dont think we could find or get a better player or fit at MLBer. Iirc we gave hurl some thing like 80-100k last year. Id give henoc 200k right now no questions asked.
