Inb4 toronto signs him too. If he has to consider going back to mtl vs here then he has the wrong mentality.

Football is also a higher turn over sport. Guys from college are more ready to play and have a big impact right away compared to most sports.

In that case briggs, gauthier, renaud and miles would be the NI depth at wil. Miles has seen decent action previously, briggs didnt look out of place at all subbing in a few times last year etc. Doesnt look like we will see 4 new dbs, 2 for sure. If mo slides back to hb or s that isnt new. Roh would go into camp imo as the rotational guy. Wr will see a bunch of turn over no doubt. But the shake up is needed. I dont feel that is a position we can really project too much right now. Adams and dressler have had injury concerns, so does demski. Bowman is coming off a very poor year, no one knows what will happen to denny etc. While we also have very high up side young guys like givens, and washington + wolitarsky. Newf has been here for a while, and jsk made a lot of plays last year. If newf ends up starting (pls god no) or if jsk moves from wil to mac it isnt that big a difference. I think the biggest change we will see on D is usage and gambling. I think we will see more of the same guys, and more pressure risks then ball jumps. I think we have rebuilt our wr core, and re tooled our defense. And its still feb. Lots to do yet. This is the actions of a management/staff that is not satisfied with being a consistent play off team. In the previous returns to glory for our franchise we seemed to spend the following years just trying to hold it together, or re find that magic. Wade, mos, walters etc all are playing to win. And I love it.

Id like to see an off season series or mini series. Stuff like we used to get from sports net. Qb challenge, player interviews (i still remember the sultan of sack talking about hoping to get the sack record) That behind the scenes show they did with the argos a few years ago, and some thing similar with players training, rehabbing etc in the off season. The argo thing would be cool if they did 1 per team and check in every soo often through out the year. Then in the weeks leading up to the draft have a new episode. One per team, 9 weeks to stoke the fire leading into the draft. Some thing similar with a few select players in the weeks leading up to camp. Im not big on allstar games in pro football, but skills competitions would be fun. Ideally id like to see it set up so the league and the sponsor/tsn puts up a cash prize and the top 3 guys divvy it up. A bigger presence for the draft, and maybe FA day on tsn would be big too.

He might be putting him self into JJs coaching lineage to try and get a big move up.

That tier yes, but one more. Maybe a bit below that teir even. Itd be a loss of quickness, and that'd be better covered up at S. At S (as mo played it) you have a good bubble to read and slide accordingly. I dont think we will see loffler move up to lber. id like to see mo at s and loffler at wil but i dont think we will. With roh, jeffcoat, and ogopogo I dont think corney is going to see much rotational use either.

I think it was even longer then that, youre right he really does seem to take his time. Tbh no other situation is as close to this good a fit for him. I strongly believe that henoc + a high teir db (which isnt gonna come via FA dollars) would make us pre season favorites.

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.
