sweep the leg

I’m not sure we should expect a big name DT in free agency. We could use one, but has this regime ever spent much there before?

If Thomas is making a low salary I’m fine with it. Hopefully Lawson is back to full health and plays most of the snaps.

Schedule is garbage. We play the Riders five times. Two byes in six weeks. We’re done with a divisional rival by week 3. Too many back to backs. It’s like they tried to make it suck.

I don’t know his nephew. Agree to disagree on his son. My son has played against him and played with him in the Blue & Gold game in 2023. He’s not bad, but I definitely think who his dad is helped him land a spot with a usport team.

He is. He’s quite a bit older, so not sure how much eligibility he has left. Wade Miller’s kid played high school football too, but he was a pretty average player.

Kyle Walters’ kid just committed to the Bisons.

I worry about regression with him. He more than doubled his best season last year. Not that he isn’t good, but he seems like a major overpay candidate.

100%. Woli and Schoen were huge losses in that regard for this season.

The one I noticed was on 3rd & 3 when Collaros threw to the flats and I think it was a knockdown. TO only had five in the box and it likely would have been a 1st if we ran.

He would be, but I wonder what kind of offers he gets. I feel like some teams will see him as a starter and pay him accordingly.

All three were run of the mill. If I had to bring one back it would be Smith, but I’m hoping they find somebody better.

I agree circumstance made our group worse in 2023 & 2024. I’m talking about the plan when building the team. Clearly the plan was to be stacked at rec this year, as we paid our top 4 guys approx 800-900k and relied on guys to step up on the ol. We did this with an immobile qb behind an untested line. Two guys are pushing 40, our young Canadians hadn’t proven anything, and our rt was a journeyman. I’m not a fan of that approach. I was hopeful it would work out, but it was a struggle. If we were going to go cheap on the ol, I wish we brought in more Americans throughout the year to challenge for some of those spots. It’s not like we didn’t have the roster flexibility to use them.

Imo all three guys we used were fairly interchangeable, but I think Kase looked the most natural doing it. It never felt like he was going to break a big one, but I was also never scared he’d cough it up.

He was awesome. Nobody else had a memorable season. Our depth that year was Kelvin McKnight and Charles Nelson.

lol, you ask which year we won with average receivers, then concede 2019 and list a very average receiving corp from 2021. Those two years would be my answer.

Prior years have shown we can win with average receivers and a great ol. Our decision makers decided we should start moving money from ol to wr and it hasn’t worked out. I’m a big believer in building from the line out on both sides of the ball. I really hope we get the best ol money can buy this offseason and ride our run game again.

I remember giving up something stupid like 11 sacks in a game against that cover zero D. Took awhile for teams to figure that out. Just relentless pressure…

Remember how adamant you were that our offense’s early problems were in large part due to O’shea’s decision to not play our starters in preseason? Now you’re saying two years away from BC’s system should have no effect on Rourke?

With the playbook his current team uses.

To be fair, I think Kelly has been practicing. Rourke only had three practices.

He’s been good. Not sure why so many in here don’t seem to like him.

🤦‍♂️

They’re really letting the Ottawa holding go. Jake Thomas might be pregnant after that play.
