No joke. To get rid of jock, and hank on top of these changes would be incredible. Id give my left nut for pinball to join the panel. I feel like itd be good too if matty and duane ford swapped spots too. Duane has some great insight and analysis, but he is not a good or natural presenter / speaker. Matty is the opposite. I enjoy walby and westwood, id love to see walby join the tsn panel or do color etc. And i wouldnt mind seeing westwood rolled into abit more of the bomber/cjob coverage. Brown on the tsn panel would be great for every one too. I love him working with bob but he is such a bright, well spoken and interesting guy fans of all teams would love doug.

Yeah I think the ladder is the purpose. A work out is curious. They must know what he brings to the table by now. Idk maybe they want to try and light a fire under mahoney. that would be a dream scenario. Masoli as back up would make us cup favorites imo.

saints be praised!

On the surface It seems like a poor change. (the reversion of the force out rule) If a wr is goes up, gets the ball, is going to come down in bounds and the db pushes him out that doesnt seem fair. But at the same time, the dbs can do soo little with out getting a flag. And the field is soo wide, the offense should be able to operate well with in that range. Now just let the wrs and dbs hand fight, but not push off and im happy. if 65 yards isnt wide enough the offense is doing it wrong. Plus the throw to the side line is not exactly a lethal offensive weapon.

Wow, that is a hell of a story. Good for him, i have no doubt he has turned it around if he is here. Thats the truth.
-
Id be pretty happy with that if he shook loose. I wouldnt trade for him right now though.
-
Makes me wonder if streveler is too raw. Not a bad move. Knows the team, system, coaches etc. Great athlete very un polished and low on over all experience. Showed some flashes with the riders last year though. Or maybe mahoney is on the way out. From all reports he has sounded far behind and very raw.
-
would be nice if we stopped running him on those sweep plays. We have the depth at wr we should be able to help him stay healthy especially late in the season.
-
shawn lemon maybe? Joe flemming for sure... I would suspect a lack of DL trades stem from teams hoarding linemen. can always hide guys on injured list and in active hoping to trade em.
-
Im sure ojo will catch on some place soon enough. Imo getting rid of ojo and keeping jovon is nutty.
-
man that guy was a human cheat code. if he coulda stayed healthy he would have been a mega star.
-
If faith is as much further along as he seems (it is early though I know) I wonder if we go with jake and faith at one DT spot to get foketi on the OL rather then going with newf.
-
See that alot in these highlights. I usually play em muted. Idk if he was behind it but yeah. I dont get it either.
-
studs. randle has better production at the NFL level then a fist full of our prospects in camp had in college. Crazy deep with talent this year. Is it like this for every team i wonder.
-
How many of those 6 dl games where when we were refusing to use our best line up and forcing thomas in, not starting jeffcoat etc though. We struggled against the run vs every team that wanted to run, for idk 3 years? Any time a team has decided to focus on the run theyve had their way with our D for far too long. The hurl effect. May be right, but we all know mos loves to roll with a crazy amount of Lbers. I think we will see a lot less rotation of the front 7 this year, and smaller numbers of players at both positions.

In the nfl. Out side of the nfl, arena league guys are playing for macdonalds/walmart money. the spring league doesnt even pay guys, it feeds em and gives them housing. I bet the target cap range for the start up leagues (if they start and play, Id bet every thing i own one fails before launch) is in the cfl salary cap range. iirc manziel has a ton of incentives in his deal. But does rome make 130k for half a year? Maybe he does. Idk I cant stand him. I know a lot of teams and players (vets) are going 1 year deals. I really hope the bombers and star players lock up 2 year deals for the new start ups initial season. The value of a second league to recycle talent is very high. But the lure of playing in the states, with out canadian taxes and diminished power of the dollar could make for a tough couple years here. Id love to see the two leagues merge and run a none or minimal over lap season with about half our cap size.

We used 7 when we did a heavy rotation on the DL and hadnt found our starters. I dont think that is the case this year. Teams carry 6 ol for 5 spots. Also we have some larger LBers that play DE in a pinch. If we still had jake thomas id be all in favor of an extra DL. Marouf may become the extra DL who can back up on the OL as well. Corney might be big enough to be the 4th DT, and thomas miles has the size to back up at end as well.

I wouldnt look too hard at flanders "record". He was on the roster for 10 games last year. He had 4 games with more then 20 yards rushing, and 5 with more then 20 yards receiving. 254 rushing for the year 1 rushing td, 206 receiving with 3 tds through the air. Flanders is a real good football player. He could easily be a starter in the league for a few teams. It isnt worth while to use a DI as a fake out, and we havent used flanders enough for a DI. Need more useage out of him or the position. Who would we take off as an imp to get him on the field now though? We had holes at wr last year we filled with flanders. talent and experience wise we dont have that now. I think roh is gonna win that spot. Actually we do have some very good NI db talent, we just dont have them lined up well. we dont have one who can start and another who can back em up at the same position. I dont think we will carry a DI DL very long, not with corney.
-
Pretty much. I imagine going into camp itd look some thing like, medlock, wild, fogg, and flanders. Though we could use petermann as a returner, or one of the imp rooks instead of fogg. pressley could steal both the return man and back up imp rb job freeing up another DI spot. We could use our good young NI dbs as the rotational dime etc. We have a ton of flexibility with our DIs and a few rookies who may force their way onto the roster via DI. How much was wild making? thats my only concern with him. As a back up / rotational guy, leader and teams guy he is phenomenal.
-
no doubt, he is probably the best cfl FA pick up weve made since either medlock, or bryant. cant wait to watch him ball.

Eliminian missed 26 games during bighills time in bc. His role changed with systems, as in part mos refereed to today in the presser. He played at time essentially a second shallow saftey over the top of elimimian. He played mid wil was used in a jack roll for a stretch etc. Bighill easy has the speed and strength to excel in any deployment you can ask of him at wil or mac. Jsk we know as a rookie played well at wil. Im a fan of his, but it isnt nearly the first time weve seen a strong debut season at wil that tapers off drastically the next year. We dont really gain any thing if we force jsk to learn mlber adjust and try to continue improving as a second year guy. I think wild will DI and play teams with some package stuff. Though if he is cut in the name of salary cap savings I wont be surprised.
-
i was, but while that top tier of guys is no doubt better the depth we have now is un paralleled for this franchise. 😁 Yeah its un real. For soo long mlber and ni wr/sb has been a real weak spot for us. Now we are relatively stacked.
-
according to all reports the track was really slow for testing. petermann at the nfl combine probably would have clocked a high 4.3 40. In past years it would have been a major windfall having any of wolitarski (i know we had him around last year but not at 100%) petermann and simonise. We spent a good bit of development time and draft picks on trying to get talent and athleticism like this. This is easily the best group of NI wrs weve had in my life. + demski is just 25 and if coates is able to get back its an embarrassment of wealth at wr.
-
dont be shallow and pedantic. Take a good look at the lions last year, the OL names and some of the coaches run out by bc. The most critical failure of bad teams is failure to recognize and retain good talent. We saw it with the bombers pre walters et al. And plenty of other teams. Its bc now.
-
That doesnt have the same affect. Many sports fans will be sports hung over from the jets run how ever it ends and the amount of dollars it eats up from the community is high. thomas is interesting. set the nfl combine record for the fastest 3 cone drill. Did really well in agility and jumping drills. And ran a 4.64 40, the slowest at his position, also had the least reps on the bench press of any one who did it. That said he is 185 repping 225 4 times,
