Booch

Yeah I D aw it as a good humourous reflection from the past too

the thing is with some players hype, and the perception (and a lot of times correct) that a guy has it and should/could be playing is that in the CFL, especially with a rigid roster framework/ratio idea and or a very biased Coach (which is and may still be an issue here) better players are gonna be cut adrift, or get no opportunity and the bad taste of knowing you got cut for a scrub or a favorite is a big factor in PR refusal...and rightfully so....just way it is in CFL when you have a ratio, and also an overly Patriotic Canadian head Knock.... All that being said am looking forward to some days at camp...will throw out my opinion, and take it for what it is...my opinions and looking forward to DL/WR and LB battles, and a what we do on Oline and Receiver....with our "overall depth" especially on defense I hope we dont go 3 import on Oline and 3 cabadian at receiver...that makes us a weaker team and the trade off in production at both spots doing so isnt big enough to make it worth it Especially if later this yr or in 2027 one of or both of Manu and the kid we drafted stroll into camp...along with likely more Wallace development and Vibert being ready to play in prime time. Plus we need a 6'3" or bigger receiver with skills to win one on ones to augment or wr group....we have lacked that for yrs now but have been burned by guys like that...a lot

yeah he is gonna be key...A lot of people are really underestimating him due to the Global tag...but he is not actually your typical Global prospect...Teams were after him prior to it being realized he could be considered a global If one of the new DE's is legit, with WJ and the the Draft pick and Bailey being able to take reps, with neither eating up a DA spot...thats huge for us Not to mention Ceresna's ability as an edge guy as well

That's a lot of what we do as well to get guys prepped for pro days....a lot of it too is just mechanics and learning how body should move....but he doesnt need to be super fast at that size if used correct And yeah a fade into the corner...vs what is a lot of times a db who is sub 5'10...you gonna win that matchup 9 times outta ten. You would think too a quick hitter across the middle with his size, and what looks to be pretty athletic, that 5 to 7 yards will be easily gained as you would think he not going down easily and definitely not on first contact...just catch it...head north and drive for yards

Yeah a drop in weight alone won't really move the needle on his speed....there is specific training to increase it a bit but for most part a guy like that will never be a burner...but doesn't need to be A receiving threat at TE on the jumbo alone will pay huge dividends in addition to the blocking aspect. And hopefully early and often we actually use him as a target so teams can't ignore it and have to scheme accordingly. He will be just fine used as am initial chip block and slide out into the flats as a release valve or just in close to goal line or 2nd and short type situ's to just do a 5 yard up and out/pivot and box out the smaller defender for easy pitch and catch...Doesnt need to initially be exotic, but more use his assets of size. I an see quick hitters also across the middle on a slant and let him just bowl thru guys for mice positive yardage....be interesting what Condell is cooking up, and thank god OC Guy from last yr will not have his fingerprints on the offence

can easily be said our cup wins were not due to ZC brilliance...but the 3 losses...a lot of that could be hung on him...he was awful

Yup int's in the 20's...totally common...Heck Danny Mac thru 30 a couple times and had several more seasons with 25+ and several seasons with more INT's than TD's and over 4k passing That being said Ol ZC has tossed 46 int's the last 3 yrs

Yeah prime Dunnigan vs prime Collaros...Its Dunnigan for me everytime

Gimme 3 per side if we could just drop em in with how we run our defence and how the offence may be morphing Bolden...dude didnt really have a position per say...He just was tasked with covering a teams best...T.Jones could be that Jack..off the edge pure rush end...MLB...run stiffling WIL and Greg Battle...dude could play all 3 spots even in todays game...and likely safety too Milt is a given.....A prime time Sellers for what we are looking to do now, plus could be a feature back if needed.....and I sure Blink would find a nice role That be my 6 Yeah....Hunt or the Animal Ron Warner pre NFL Imagine Warner...Prime WJ and Hunt all rotating along the line...with Ty Jones just lurking around....damn

a Juran Bolden would be a nice piece...

never said that....will be 1 gamed...or somehow kept, as there are ways to do it and like I said if Perkins shows he's legit I can see Wilson as odd man out That being said tho..this boner people have of having a Canadian QB is really dumb....If they are not in the top 3 on your club, and dont show promise...or a real long term hope of promise...why keep them around?...that goes for any player on any squad , not just Egersma He may pan out and be Rourke 2.0 or better, or may turn out to be another Jason Boltus.....or some middling run of mill QB who may win you a game here or there but not be elite....and for the latter 2 scenarios, why attached your wagon to mediocrity just cause he's Canadian?...There is no point in that That being said I pulling for him and hope he pans out...Not because he's Canadian but because I like the skill-set he apparently has, and his size. But I not expecting much from him this yr, and even next yet, but maybe we drafted a Golden Goose....time will tell

I would be shocked if the 3 aren't ZC...Wilson and Perkins....as can we really go into the season with ZC and a CIS rookie and a American ..yes with experience but none in the CFL? That sure be leaving yer arse exposed. Now if Perkins comes in and shows that yes...he can run a CFL offence and looked good doing so, Mayybeee we go ZC...Perkins and Elgersma if Wilson totally craps the bed....But I know we really like Perkins and have been tracking him a while...and really him and Wilson are basically same age and if one is gonna be the future, or even the now if something was to happen god forbid...and Perkins shows he's a legit talent...Then I think Wilson is gonzo...He has to have a amazing brilliant camp and take 2 steps forward from last yr. But Perkins can make more happen withhis legs as he's cutting his teeth and in the grand scheme..I think offers more if he shows anything

yeah...I sure be a non-issue running the short yardage packages.

Throws a good ball and mechanically sound with the lower body pivot now thats become the norm...Look forward to see what he has and if he can grasp the nuances of the Canadian gae quickly and trust his eyes with the extra man lurking around...which is generally the demise of many newbies....cant process that properly Thing with him is he is not a rookie with just College experience...so feeling some optimism here, and working with Strev and I sure they going over CFL stuff...I bet he shows up ready to roll

Can't see MLB affecting gate other than in toronto and even then its a big whip as ..well its toronto And again its no real different with the seasons coinciding anyway and with only one city having a team who cares really And like said any change can always go back to what it was if its a major flop or causes major backlash...league is trying to find and be accessible to newer fans and demographics so what is old and accustomed to by lifelong fans is irrelevant to anyone new...or newish. If old school fans sqwuak and whine and revolt..screw em...obviously not that big of fans then. Times are a changing and you either change with it..or try to evolve to it in some regard or you whither away and die
