Times they are a changin

that and this way Popp was able to secure some insurance in the form of quality MLB's making Muamba expendable due to his contract. Not bad losing a starting MLB but still having two who have proven to be starters in this league. Can you imagine if he let Muamba go before free agency and also lost Woods?

2 clubs with questionable Olines as well....don't see him making much of an impact.

What good is a deal if it doesn't actually pan out?

I'm not saying he sucks. I'm just not convinced he would be an upgrade over what we have now. As such, the price tag just doesn't make sense to me.

If only he's had in game experience for multiple years with some level of success. FYI I'm not a huge Lapo fan boy, but he's demonstrated very well that he can make adjustments in game in the past. So I'm not sure why people keep bringing this up.

#1 We already have a top tier LT. Arguably one that is better than Bourke. I believe he is younger as well. So I don't understand how Bourke, who arguably isn't as good, would make our Oline better by replacing Bryant? #2 How do you know it's not? There was Bourke out there in FA, who else would have dramatically changed this Oline? It's not even a given that Bourke would have done anything (his play wasn't steller last year) Know what else helps out QB's under pressure? Slots who know how to read a blitz and get open. Something we were VERY VERY horrible at last year. Like maybe the worst I've ever seen. Guess what though? We went out and got one of the best. And followed that up by signing another who is showing great promise. So to sum this up. Adding Olineman isn't the only way to help protect your QB. Adding over priced aged Olineman to replace younger cheaper and (arguably) more talented Olineman is a great way to ruin your offence.

there's also Greene who we just signed that they like.

if we do, I really hope Bucknor and Hurl aren't in the 8.

There was a player who played in place of Washington last year that looked fairly good. Posey or something I think. I believe the coaches were pretty high on him. And then there's Waggoner who is built to be a safety in the CFL. SO really we might not need any new comers in the secondary at all. Or they could put Legget back to Safety, Randle back to Sam and Bucknor or some rookie at Field corner. Again no need for 2 rookies there.

I don't feel like it would be wasting him. I'm fine with putting Adams there too. The more play makers on the field the better. Maybe Randle can get into Washingtons spot? I don't care, I just want all 4 of Randle Johnson Adams and Legget on the field at all times possible. That's a lot of talent. On top of that, if you can take any receiver out of the picture, field side or not, why wouldn't you want that? Less options for the qb. Easier to recognize the play = more plays being made by the D. I don't see it as wasting talent. I see it as using the ALL the talent we have. Randle on the corner or inside, I don't care. But I don't want Randle/adams on the bench in place of Bucknor on the field side just cause it's a seldom used throw. That's a waste.

I'm not sure I'd say our secondary is our biggest strength, but its certainly up there. I think our LB's and Qb depth is top two. But our secondary really depends on if Randle comes back. I've heard he's not going to be ready for TC, though that's not from a reliable source. If he does, our secondary is going to be very strong.

I wouldn't mind Randle at field side. That would be an intimadating throw for any QB in the league. He didn't mention any of our Other Recievers though . It's not only Veltung looking for a spot. Adams, Cone, Mc(something), Gordon and that other guy we just signed. (it's friday I'm half awake at my desk, so give me a break on the names) With the addition of the 2 from SSK, the REC TC battle just got a lot more interesting. The more I think about it, the more I think Denmark could be a TC cut. Though I feel like that would come back to haunt us.

for the millionth time. We ARE headed back to the royals. They aren't rumours.

I've always been critical of Harris. In my eyes he's been over rated often. Now of course that he's wearing the right colours. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit excited to see what he can bring. His rec skills and blitz pick up is what has me most excited. Here's hoping he can prove me wrong and he has his best season yet!

Riders signed Lawerance from EDM.

yeah fairly sure Edem is in BC

16-0 Huff refuses to play against the bombers cause of the way Walters handled FA.

Has huff taken over the job of that captain obvious guy from the commercials? Yeah I'm fairly sure most teams would like to build from with in, ya tool. It's not always possible, especially when this is your last year to make improvements. Those quoted tweets make him sound like a bitter old man. It's too bad we can't hear the full convo, cause those comments have tainted my view of the man. Which I know is a bit ridiculous, but I can't help it.

you can without oddly moving players around. We can start 8 canadians and not have Hurl in there. 9 if waggoner steps up. nuef/Goos/chungh westerman/sholo/ harris/kholert

A harris, R smith, Laing, LH

Ah ok. Didn't see that.

I'm not sure he will. He's made it clear he wants to play there. But there has been no signed contract. If CGY was going to sign him, why wait so long?

I'm guessing it's not about being "underused" as he had 42 more carries than any other back in the CFL. I'm guessing it's how he was used and the coach.

FYI people can believe without proof. See every religion ever.
