This is why I have a hard time discussing sports with normies in real life... we got the die hards here who hang on every piece of news so trying to talk to people who get their info from tsn during games only.... aye yi yi.... Yeah Facebook exists to have a group chat with people where we can dump whatever random thoughts we have out there and share pictures of kids so grandparents can pretend to be involved in their activities. -

I feel you're under rating all 3 guys because of a lacking stat sheet. World beaters? No, but you can do a lot worse (and we have) -

Well what did you expect from garbutt and fox when they spent most of the year on the IR? Both are at worst solid contributors... Now Cole as well was injured a bunch bt dude makes plays on teams and where ever they line him up on defense. At worst all are well worth a chance to compete in camp and if they play it's not a bad thing. -

Qb forcing the ball to his security blanket and defence teeing off. Plain and simple. -

Jackson Jeffcoat probably counts. They retained him forever. Nichols I'll throw in as well.... when you get into the niche of impactful, home grown not born within a stone's throw then you're shrinking the pool of available options. Overall I'd say their ability to retain players is fine... but we're probably in a point where some turnover needs to happen. Now let's all argue about which turnover. -

No need to be rash. Negativity for the sake of negativity. There's nothing to base this on -

Sucks to lose Wolitarsky. Love that guy. However they likely see Clercius as having huge upside (he does imo) so are moving on. I'd divorce this decision from anything related to Thomas and just call it what it is. -

Yep Bighill was a HUGE part of this team getting over the hump... but now he's over the hill and everyone needs to move on. Father time is undefeated. -

“I realized when I got hurt it’s a real possibility that a club who’s already looking at ways to probably redo their roster, with heavy veterans, this is an easy one for them,” he said. “Whether I think or whether other people think it’s a right decision or not. It’s an easy one to point at and say, ‘It’s probably time.’ “So I understand that from a business stance. I prepared myself for it.” From the winnipeg sun. Doesn't sound like there's hard feelings. Phones do work both ways and bighill got his answer. He also comes across as one of those guys completely unwilling to accept that his time has passed. -

Sure, but it also seems to me if you are bringing more guys in to block you're just dragging more defenders in to rush and clog up the middle which makes it harder on the run game too. Just my thoughts anyway, more targets spreads things out more gives some more space. I might be out to lunch just a feeling I have. Our OL isn't good enough anymore to just bully the LOS like that. -

And honestly I think our insistence on using 6 or 7 blockers alllllll the time hurts more than it helps. Collaros is never going to be a guy who gets the ball out quick. He will buy time with his eyes downfield... so give him more targets. -

I don't think we're so bad at guard to be honest.... but maybe we need to find a Benedict ibisi to play centre... -
Last 3 years boils down to the offense, which is littered with highly paid stars did not do enough, not nearly enough. At least we know we will get a fresh perspective on it from the coaching this season so we shall see what happens. Honestly for me it still comes down to I'd have moved on from collaros before last season and gone with Brown.
