Dobson played a small handful of right tackle. EIi is a true centre through and through. As such he would slide to guard very easily. When he comes into our heavy set he comes in at guard and our T was essentially a te. 

@Booch knows the most about Eli and his pedigree....

Eli I dont think has ever played tackle...nor do I think he suited for it...U want your big nasty brawlers inside as well...where they can do most damage

Hampers in regards to amount of top talent you can maintain...

We really going to put ANY blame on Brady for the current playoff run? Since he became starter there has been 3 instances of RBs running for more than 100 yards in the playoffs... Brady, Brady and Brady. In those 4 games Collaros threw for more than 200 yards once and has a TD/INT ratio of 1/3.
Running Backs are interchangeable for the most part, but for Brady at least you are buying his prime instead of the decline. It's likely this contract is his one pay day and then as all RBs do he hits the cliff at 29 and will likely be cast aside. The drop off from an MOP Running Back to whatever you can find will likely be reasonably steep, and if you can't trust the passing offense in the playoffs where will that get you?

The team is built so the window probably runs out after 2025. I think short term Brady probably is going to be more meaningful than Schoen, especially with Demski and Lawler on the roster. Of course I would like to have them both back.
 
 

If they change kickoffs Bede is not nearly as valuable. His kickoff length were invaluable to the Argos.

You sure? Their D is very good, especially the front 7. Not saying repeat, but a decent team.

Most QBs would have piled up sacks in Regina last year-pass pro was beyond abyssmal

The alternative is 2008. Remember posts like....Oh Canada he's back?

It would be cool to line up the depth chart for a week in May, set up a ring at midfield and everyone fight to see who survives in helmets and shorts.
But everyone knows that isn't how it works.  There's a handful of rookies/discards fighting for how ever many spots are left, coaches monitoring their habits, fit into team and pretty much everything else is locked in.
This isn't only in this sport or this level.  Everyone is preparing to play games.  Not replacing half their roster the week before the season.  
Opportunity knocks when it does.  Guys get chances to play due to injury or poor performance, work onto roster, work into roles.  The major roster movement happens this time of year.  If it's happening in May to November the team is probably ****** from the jump.

Richmond in for Hardrick is probably one of the easiest decisions we can make as a team. 
 
People are going to question the effect it may have on the locker room, but if those guys don’t rally around a guy like Richmond finally getting his shot after being on the PR for 4 years (especially with him being about as stand up of a guy as it gets) then that’s on them 

Well, I guess we'll see.  But the truth is, many of us are skeptical because we've seen this movie before
It happened with Dave Ritchie and it happened with Doug Berry (after the 2007 season)
Then the chickens came home to roost and the team was just not that good
