I'd say fair market value, in line with what we paid the GOAT before this season. Sask blowing their brains out for Yoshi is just a stupid pay and everyone knew it. It didn't set the market.

Fair.

Yea..last impactful developed by us OT I can remember is Dan Goodspeed

I have absolutely no issues with us turning over 6 starting spots and some backup/teams positions. Our scouting and drafting can bring in enough talent to cover that. We needed a bit of a roster reset in the sake of longer term continuity.

Bingo. To be the man you gotta beat the man.

Greg Peach? You must be thinking of someone else? He is not an OT, nor did we develop him. Besides being Chris Streveler, where does this group think we are finding any kind of semi decent backup QB for less than 120k?

We will almost definitely be drafting an OL with a high pick Team depth is a crap load easier to find then team high end talent.

Yea..we don't talk enuff about him for sure. He just quietly TCB.

Yea. I'm not seeing any real weak areas.

I think so too. Had a really solid season I thought. Can't remember what game it was but Yoshis guy was putting it on him in the first Q. Neufeld stepped up and helped Yosh and Kolo to his credit took up some of Neufs so that he could help and that DE did nothing after that.

Only 2 of the top 15 OL FAs signed so far. I'm thinking we may value add still.

I got 11 wins out of that lineup easily, probably a couple more coin flip games besides those so 11-13 wins as it stands providing our STs are the same level as last year.

Yea...I'm not recalling it either.

For sure. I am actually quite impressed that we were able to turn over some positions but keep most of the talent that really matters intact. Best of all the only team that had any realistic chance of leap frogging us this year hemmorhaged talent this offseason.

Well it was inevitable really. We ran it back for 4 straight years pretty much. Not many teams can do that without a rebuild at the end of it. I think Walters did well to put a team on the field this year that should still be the favorite in the West while starting a bit of a youth movement. Yea...we just couldn't give him the money and opportunity he deserves here. Hopefully he gets rewarded in Hamilton.

Ok...that's the point I was trying to make. If you are going to have the drive and dedication, I think it stands to reason you will also try hard to win and that it is an absolutely ridiculous assertion that players feel like the playoffs are unpaid OT and don't care about them.

Yoshi was a monster in run blocking last year, but his pass pro was pretty suspect in a few games last year. Neufeld did a yeoman's job of helping him out tho. Not sure that he has that same luxury anymore playing next to Ferland.

I was hoping Gray would get a shot at OT, but I'm guessing that our coaches didn't see it happening. We will need to draft an OL for sure with one of our top picks this year and probably need to sign a veteran insurance policy for the OL as well.

The worst that can happen is that we need to add some guys mid season so that we are in peak form in 2025.

It's mildly surprising because of what it does to our overall depth, but Gray was adequate nothing more, as a starter and we got a couple blue chippers that we just can't hold back anymore. I know you are joking, but I could see it. Guys a beast,

Gray was OK. Nothing special but he didn't hurt us. I feel like we pretty much had to open a spot for Dobson or Eli and Gray was the logical odd man out based on his probable salary expectations. Hate to say it but where Gray will hurt us the most is in the depth department, I feel our starting 5 got better with Dobson/Eli in place of him.

Yea....the kid is a baller imo. A big get.

LMAO...actually I agree with that. Last year I didn't feel that there was much effect from it but we will be down quite a few vets this year and will need to utilize roster management a lot better. Gonna be some rookies being asked a lot this year, and we need to be able to bring them along at the right pace. Roster management needs to be better for sure.

Small sample size but Ford laid some hellacious hits last time he suited up. If that is his style all the time, I wanna see more.

If you were around this morning you probably would have got some too. lol
