  1. Jake Thomas is one of those unsung heroes. He’s made some big plays over the years in big games.
  2. Wonder what he ended up signing for. Could be a good fit depending on if he stays healthy.
  3. Grandmas into loving football?
  4. Good point. My grandma is quicker then Nichols so not sure if that will work. The two QB dressed system is ridiculous anyways. ofcourse she’s 6’4 runs a 4.5 forty.
  5. Well if there’s been an area of strength in recent years it’s been the ability to recruit DB’s. We were also left with question marks in our secondary at the start of the season but it ended up becoming one of our strengths.
  6. They’re obviously very high on him. So I’ll trust the guys that saw him practise every day know a thing or two about this kid.
  7. I think we’re going to use the left over money to bring back Streveler. I think Ottawa was the likely destination before they decided to go with Masoli and spend their entire cap hit in one day. I’d assume they’re going to wait until after Streveler exhausts all NFL opportunities but it wouldn’t surprise me to see him back in Winnipeg. We look a lot different with Dru Brown under Center that’s for sure and I would imagine Walters and co know this.
  8. There was questions about Lawler being a number one receiver too. I’m not going to say Bailey is going to have the same impact as Lawler but Baileys 2021 season was very similar to Lawler’s 2019 season with us and both played essentially a similar role at the time in the offence. I think Bailey is a great candidate to break out for over 1000 yards next season assuming he’s healthy.
  9. Because Bailey goes from the 3-5 read to the 1-3 read. Ofcourse we’ll have to find another receiver to come in to replace Baileys role with the team but we should have some faith that Walters has Danny Mac will have some competition coming in to be that receiver number five.
  10. Well let’s put it this way. Lawler was pretty much regarded as high as Bailey is right now before the season started. Not saying every good young receiver will turn out as good as Lawler was for us last season but he has the potential to be a number one guy.. Ellingson is much ahead of Adam’s in terms of production so while yes Lawler and Adam’s might be better right now it’s not far fetched to believe these two actually put produce what Adam’s and Lawler would give you.
  11. The win of the off season was keeping both Danny Mac and Goveia. They’ve done an outstanding job bringing in new talent every year.
  12. Huh. They had their whole team to sign this off season. A lot of players wanting to get paid. This off season is a win in my books. We have to rely on drafting well, and our scouting team to bring in replacements. It’s the same every year, especially for good teams. You’re going to lose some players but the job Walters has done with what he’s had has been phenomenal.
  13. Underrated pick up for the Als. These are the kind of free agent moves that good teams could make to get better. Wonder what he went for.
  14. Because he’s that good and won’t count against the cap until he returns. Glad to see it’s likely he’s coming back to Winnipeg. I can’t stress this enough out defense really started coming together once we moved Alexander to safety.
  15. Good moves by Saskatchewan although it’s going to be abundantly clear they’re not focusing on the lines. That’s going to be their down fall.
  16. The only receiver I could think of in my life time that I would pony up 300k for is Milt and that’s about it. Not a fan of breaking the bank for receivers in the salary cap era.
  17. Exactly Ellingson was on about a 1200 yard pace for the season with 5 straight 1000 yard plus seasons before that. We got a good one.
  18. Awesome! He was by far the best free agent receiver left. I feel good going into the season with Ellingson, Bailey, Woli, and Demski, I still think Bailey is going to break out this up and coming season like Lawler did last season.
  19. For sure I understand he said he used all his money. Just thought their middle linebacker who was all over the field making plays would have been a priority. The consequences of keeping Bo I suppose.
  20. Good move. Wonder why Calgary didn’t decide to bring him back. He was noticeably good on defence for the Stamps last season.
  21. Walters has done an incredible job. Really can’t ask for much more. Hopefully we can still add a piece or two in free agency. Moncreif and Ellington and I think I would have to go from an A to an A + haha
  22. Any news on Jefferson or Bighill signing?
  23. We’ll see how it works out. Hate to see Harris go. He’s a great guy, great player, fantastic competitor. But at 35 years old and 11 years of a heavy work load.. you would have to think 2021 is a good indicator of how 2022 is going to go health wise. He literally couldn’t practise this year. I wish him all the luck in the world but I think if they go that route they better be prepared to see a lot of Kiernen Lafrance in the back field.
  24. Good bye Kenny! Absolutely foolish for any team to offer a receiver 300k. But go get paid my man.
  25. Ellington over Adam’s is a big upgrade. He’s somebody I’ve wanted in Winnipeg for a long time.
