Agudosi, Blake Jackson, and Cam Meredith are pretty good prospects for us, I think.

Weren't they running a bunch off tackle in those games with DJ Foster? There wasn't a lot of film at the time and I think we were partially out-game-planned.

Can't sign everybody back. So focus on our leaders and Canadians. Can fill holes in free agency (not everyone gets a big deal) and scouting. Canadians are not easily replaceable. Leaders like Bighill, Bryant and BA are not easily replaceable. Certain guys that are veteran and versatile aren't easily replaceable (like I said before, Darby is someone I'd like to bring back). So all that being said were probably going to have to fill some holes at DB, maybe a receiver and DT.

With Lucky making 200k its going to make it that much harder to sign our own guys for reasonable deals. F***

Live and die with our defense. Our ends, biggie and BA. We already have Nichols under contract who is arguably our best cover guy. IMO those are the priorities. I also really like Darby

Thought that to be extremely likely yeah

I have not. I started following him on Twitter about a month ago because he gives no shits lol. Especially hates Hulk Hogan which is a lot of fun.

There was some twitter activity that makes me think the two Jeffs have something in place already. It's just a feeling.

Yeah I'm not the boss here but I'd say let's take the non football talk offline

Who do y'all think will be the first major signing?

Exactly. If anything athletes probably shouldn't be using anything because they're athletes. But I'd have a hard time arguing alcohol was better for your body than weed. I personally flipped over as my go-to because alcohol kills my stomach and I almost never feel great after having any amount of it. Weed at worst I'd feel a bit groggy

Maybe both teams have shitty af defences? Then it just comes down to the coin flip. Hypothetically both teams could very easily score on the first drive. Football is a team game and NFL rules takes half the team out. CFL rules does the best in taking the coin flip out of the equation. And also gives both defenses and offenses an opportunity to play. I wouldn't mind moving the ball back for CFL rules as well though.

I didn't think anyone had a problem with the current overtime format.

I think most reasonable people see it as back to back. BTW, I still can't believe I survived a year without CFL football.

Agreed. Glad our team doesn't allow this stuff to get into their head like it does to some fans. Honestly IDGAF what journalists want to write. Some around here seem to think that we have all the best players and we make all the best plays and anything less is a slight to our team. After two Grey cups in a row let's not be that fan base. I know we're not there yet but it's best to check ourselves

Well that's the thing right? If Osh felt he was the worst kicker in the world then why would anyone ever sign him including us? No real reason to. There are many guys out there.

A lot of time before the next Grey Cup. Your mind may change. And if he struggles there's no stopping us from doing what we did this past year. I think this is saying that Osh liked what he saw from Mourtada and were not paying big money for a kicker the entire year

To be fair he did make 12 of his last 13 kicks (field goals and converts) before Castillo took over.

First penny pinch - Mourtada over Castillo? Also a chance that Castillo will be trying NFL.

Good question. Obviously we need to start with signing the guys that have been key to our success. Collaros, our offensive line, our defensive line. Walters will be really busy trying to work out contracts to keep us from overspending. Some may have to take discounts. I'd imagine we will lose an offensive lineman and a defensive lineman. As much as it pains me to say it, we may have to lose one of the big 3 on our defensive line as it is much more difficult to substitute Canadians. Bighill will be an interesting signing as he took a massive paycut and then became DPOTY. So we will need to find some money for him. Would Willie do the same this year? Jeffcoat probably doesn't make as much as he should be making. Someone else that may need to take a paycut is Andrew Harris. Great player. Has been everything to this team to get us back to our Grey Cup winning ways. But he was hurt most of the year and we have Oliveira and Augustine that have shown they can carry the mail. It will be really interesting and will require some surgical precision to get most of the team back. You have to imagine that this team has three-peat in the back of their mind which will help a lot. Good luck Walters.

With all that's going on in the world, Bomber fans have had 2 years with the feeling of being Grey Cup champs. And that's pretty swell. Merry Christmas and happy new year. Bring on the 3peat

I think about this every so often too. One of their 4 Grey cups was against a QB that had never started a game. And he still would have beaten them without that bad call

And Lapo. Gotta think someone will be plucked. When you're at the top everyone is looking to steal some of your special sauce
