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.

Whats that site? ive never heard of it before. 6'1 228 is not above average for a LBer in the nfl. Thats the problem. That said a guy like him (and most who get an nfl look tbh) could make a full career go of it if they put 100% effort into teams play every play and in prep. Instead of the classic de/lb tweener hes a newer lb/db tweener. Big for a db small for a lber. Awesome combo for up here though.

We had to over pay, and be thankful as all heck when a guy like bryant chose to slum it with us. Now our management has us in the a premier situation we have seen the likes of in ages.

I think its more ebb and flow. We will see spikes and dips as teams free up salary and break down to utter rebuild levels. Despite montreals best efforts last year every team in the league could well believe they are 1 or 2 key guys from making a run. 2-3 years from now I could see another huge FA period. Till then I expect much more like this. Yeah I would not worry about his age. His pass port easily out shines that. Explosiveness, drive and technique are huge at rush end. Dont agree that strength diminishes with age. Certainly not the on set of 30 ish. Quickness sure. 2015 westerman, worth 200k. 16, not. 17 was on track to be close in production. But he hasnt adapted to the way teams play him nearly as well as teams have adapted to him. I think jeffcoat in a full season next year emerges as an elite + pass rusher. At a fraction the cost.

What more do we hope for at this point? Westy back at a reasonable price would be great. But im more then good with the DL we have now. I might rather have jake thomas back then westerman actually. Weve shored up our WR core in a huge way, Dbs, no2 qb and NI depth after the first day of free agency. NI wise, id love to see us start 2 wrs, 3ol, 1 rb, 1s, Lafrance vs flanders will be interesting.

also that

Or the money just isnt available after the previous couple years of frenzy. Probably a bit of both though.

You could chalk OL into the highest need in draft preparations for every team in the league every year. Its nearly impossible to go wrong drafting OL. It may not go right, a better player at another position may crop up after the OL. But no one will question the pick of an OL if they are close to that pick range in talent. I feel like we are in a great spot in terms of NI talent and young ni talent on the OL. We can grab positional needs, BPA, highest potential and or futures.

MO back to S, fenner at sam loffler to LB dare to dream.

I like the idea, but think we need to have a thread to discuss doing it in first. A pre thread. Then maybe draft people to be involved and have a thread for that. then a thread to pick up any one who wasnt drafted. Then we can make a practice/training thread.... The off season is dark and full of terrors.

to be fair, you cant so much as look at a wr too hard these days. You cant even own your own space. A wr can jam you, fall down, and get the flag. 3/4 of those replacements happened mid way through last season though....

Imo he will go into camp as the nickle db off the bench.

10 PPV events a year would be perfect imo. 11 divisions plus the new womens fw division. You can have 2-3 title fights in a ppv night, and some mixed into the free live events. And focus the free events on a bunch of belt qualifier matches and up and comer types.

Johnson didnt get beat for more big plays then any one. In fact he got beat for among the fewest.

So we are 2 ni injuries away from having to play a green ni. Thats the case for most every team and most every position imo. Sure its great to bring in all the talent at all the positions you can find. Especially on the line, and especially NIs. But i dont think we need a NI back up DL more then any thing else.

Corney is a pretty good guy for that spot the league over. Plus we wont know what he is really capable of till hes thrown out there more.

You cant just strip it down to which side a db plays. Guys will switch more then you would think with motion and 5+ wr sets. Not to mention with randle eating up one side of the field for years. Allstar? The allstar roster selection in the CFL is often a joke. Out right favoritism wins out. Weve seen all stars one year unsigned the next. With dbs, all star spots often go to guys with the most picks./d tds. Randle is just getting the recognition he deserves. Bruce johnson was a really good db. So was frederick. The scheme we play could also makes dbs look about as bad as possible. Take a good look at the ex bomber DBs the league over. And how long guys lasted after we let them go.

Jones, and morgan are real good football players. Given some more time and experience both have a strong chance to play them selves into more active roles. In previous years these guys would be talked about a lot more in the forums. The talent level of our NI depth is the best ive ever seen.
