Still better...which makes us better

There were several tho who were better than kolo...

If you can grab a guy...who is better than what you have...or projects better...why you don't pull trigger is baffling...more troubling really...that's how you get a decayed old roster with no fluid transition...kinda like us...clinging to past glory Having bodies doesn't make you over loaded if they are not elite

Cause we good...as per Osh And people need to stop thinking Osh...or many coaches for that matter don't have bias and personal favs for whatever reason that will trump better talent....tho Osh is exceedingly bad at it If an opportunity to upgrade a spot is there...regardless of who it replaces you take it..Is that on Walter's here...or does he allow Osh to have too much sway...influence? Fact of matter there was opportunity to upgrade several areas...and we chose not to...

well...he did ask for assurance he would be allowed to prior to re-signing.....so if the re-nag on that assurance...thats pretty pathetic on the Bombers part

Maier needs elite talent around him...and superior coaching...I see neither there for him is Sask

as do I....I know what he can do...seen it....and if allowed to....will impress our success this yr is gonna be in how we are coached and managed...and if a few question marks come thru....thats how I see it....We aren't a team with the best players across the board anymore in their prime....who are hungry and motivated like 19/21 We have a FEW top o the line guys still....but rest is a mish mash now of guys who showed potential before an injury....are entering 2nd and 3rd yrs and need/deserve a legit opportunity...and a handfull of plugs who are just in the way and in no way shape or form the future....and are in all honesty hurting us more than anything...It's how Osh manages this and how he approaches in game decisions thats gonna dictate our success....I personally have my doubts he will be great in this regard....totaly based on the past 4...5 yrs now

it's never an over pay for a Canadian Oline man...especially a young one who layed well...and still has upside...DB's..recievers....Lb's...there so many churned out in the NCAA you never have to over pay if your scouting and talent assesment once you get them here is legit...other than the every now and then guy who comes along and is a true difference maker,,,then you get them in your room and adjust elsewhere to make it work...You should be able to do that paying 5..6 guys on your roster premium money if you have built a roster wisely..thats active and PR..and other than a real stupid contract...what is an over pay?...especially when we for most part have no idea of the SM structure a team has...That being said Walter's mindset of X amount of dollars to this group...X amount to that and not wavering is a bad practice....you need to be able to recognize where u may get good bang for bigger bucks and be able to adjust accordingly too Harris is probably the most brittle QB in the league...and is a perenial non-difference maker...and aint gonna change that moniker pushing 40 yrs old

be a bitter slap in face if we scuffle all yr...get a cross over spot and get bounced by Hamilton with all those guys playing a key part...if that was to happen wonder how the knee benders will spin taht here

not my view...teams may "get" it....they dont depend/rely/base anything on it....there are different grading methods used which carry actual weight and take actual metrics of what was going on..what was called..assignment issues/responsibilities....etc and again....discounting their eye for talent then?,,,they were raved about when here as bird dogs....and big losses......maybe it more a fact they know skill, but had a HC who didnt see it himself?...hmmmmm kinda contradicts he knows what he doing part eh?...lol

well for one.....we have no proven depth now out side of WJ..Vaughters...are Woods and Adams gonna continue with development....and...are they gonna get the reps to facilitate it.??...they need to play to do this....not get sprinkled in here and there for probably 2 of the worst Canadian interior dlineman in the league...bar none....name 2 others in the league that get the reps they do that are worse?.....and Is Lawson gonna be back to form out of gate...or early into the season...or at all???....big question marks there I like to go back to the comments that all the guys we let walk and got immediately signed in the league even before free agency started were no loss...insignificant....easily replaced....not good enough...well they were all starters or regular role players here last yr....doesn't say much about us then last yr in who we rostered now does it?... sadly...Godber who they dumped would be an upgrade over who we have currently probably already pencilled in as our starter

dont look at PFF...Anyone with any football back ground wont thats just your assumption....but I agree likely....Our oline depth tho is severely compromised now and thin... I not even sure in the grand scheme if 3 imports makes us better, as we eat up an import spot then from defense or ST's/Rotation somewhere...and do we need to roster another import oline guy as a DA further weakening the over all roster? If Eli gets to take over at Center keeping KOLO as the 6th is a bad move as he only can play center...he's useless anywhere else in addition to being a weak center...so not a good 6th we have some issues...to may ifs and buts right now...camp will be interesting Maybe we holding back some cash right now for a draft day deal or 2....that could fix a few things right there

none of them should have been an over pay....so damn good thing

I wasnt talking bout first....but in second they still payed the salary...and we didnt trade for anyone cause???...oh yeah..."we good"...Flo was up for trade....we didnt land it..McManus yuip is good....reeeaaaal good...we didnt offer an offer too good to refuse why???...and if we payed premium....there is ways to mitigate it...Release Thomas...Move Kramdi to Mtl and play Parker there at prob half the cost.....where there is a will...there is a way...we have lost the will it seems...to compacent..too comfortable...too many consecutive season ending failures...u see the connection?? Other teams had rookies play...and play well....Schoen was off the books basically from start of season and we knew he wasn't coming back...there was 200k to play with there via trade....signing in U.S that would come if payed...we stood pat There was a lot....Coulda traded for Flow...Yeah Brinkman...Hendrix...even Oakman would have been a get....Rhymes...Lewis as well...in a deep group...great get....Adeleke..Couture..Mcewan...any punter not maned Sheehan...Kongbo was available...Bolo would serve more use than Cobb.... again....when there is the will to get better....there are many avenues to do it why not....its always been a young...key Canadian Oline guy is gonna cost you a premiun...even more than clearly better Imports....it is what it is...Neuf is on down side...and been knicked....so paying a dDobson or the likes more is standard business....Christ we wayyyyy over pay for what we get at SAM....Thats ludicrous, maybe if he was best in league and a perenial all-star difference maker...but he aint...wasteful when you can fill that role with a cheaper import...and better Our allocation is way out of whack and it hinders us elsewhere.....Half a million in BO and Demski....600k a QB in decline....prob 500k in 2 db's and a SAM....over 100k in a DT that should at best take no reps....and isnt even needed for ratio.... Who's starting at left guard...and who is the back-up...are we wasting a roster spot on a 7th oline guy again...and if so..who?...right now it would like it has to be an import so again...a colossal waste of a DA spot...again!! Who is the rotational d-end that isnt a place holder....Vaughters would have been great as the 3rd guy to rotate with WJ and..whomever....as it stands will be a raw rookie...or we put JT out there again??...good god! Interior dline...wheres the stud/difference maker??...we didnt have one last year that got to establish himself tho I believ with majority of reps Woods and Adams could be great....our dline is weak right now...and just because we have "bodies" doesnt necessarily make it deep.. Who's pushing the punter...or is he defacto the guy......Schoen..White...Lawson..Strev...all question marks until proven they are healed...and/or what they were...wheres the contingecy plan there?...we have a lot of work to do and TC like I mentioned better be an actual real..open competition with the best man winning...regardless of nationality...vet status or tenure here

T.O spent a lot on Perv boy...Flo...Ceresna...McManus....among a few others....and have 2 cups outta 3 to show for it....both against us btw.... We spent big bucks on guys we retained...past their usefulness or on the decline...maybe money would have been better spent replacing them and then retaining them...I dunno...just spitballin 😉
