Booch

Gotta try both....if we dont add in FA If anything we do know Eli is ideal in the TE sets and Short yardage...and can come in and take reps...so if he takes over at center...or is the 6th guy again...I think he is an important resigning....good to have that continuity and know what you have...I wish Vibert got some opportunities last yr...He has all the makings of a physical SOB on the interior...he was drafted as a center as well...correct?

worked for JT in practice hahaha

agreed....now by design?...loafing....or deteriorated skill?....thats the bug question and we do see when he turns it on...he can be effective I'd be-resigning him with caveat that he gonna be a mentor/role player with rotational reps And a salary reflective of it, if he agreeable....Or heavy bonus incentive....Guy has value for sure and teams do gameplan with him in mind...but he needs to be in a 15 to 20 rep range...full out rush end reps...Not the 20+ he was doing Camp will be interesting...especially if it's a real camp...which we havnt seen in yrs

anytime your center gets spun around and more times than not is facing yhour QB....With guys in front of him...or going bu him...not a good sign....same with a dt getting spun to the side and again...more times than not his back to the QB and guys just sashaying by....not a good sign....both those are indicators of minimal talent if any...and weak players....and basically describes our two positions perfectly And makes sense as Kolo is an undersized unathletic center with short stubby arms, and JT is a uber unathletic guy, no technical skills/hand skills and weight he carries...grossly overweight has no benefit to him and his play...it's more a detriment to him With Lawson..Adams...Woods...Even Schmeck you saw no evidence of that...Same with Eli...and I disagree...he was hardly a matador, but that being said...he is a center and has nary had a chance to play....but hen he did he was just fine...and with more reps would settle right in...Is very athletic...not undersized...and actually has technique

too bad they need a defence lol

not on this team with this HC...nope....have to disagree with that...and not just with Eli situation

I'd be fine with him....I almost think if not for his not being able to be here at TC...it woulda been him....cause choosing Dimbass over him made and maked zero sense...Unless Osh is just as much a dumbass...and at times from what he does...jury is still out on that notion Jackson knows how to best utilize skill-sets of players too I think he'd play close to what he was with 15 to 20 snaps....all out in true DE attack mode...we dont need him as a knockdown guy...pressures...sacks....strip sacks...hurries would be a lot more of a net benefit to the overall defensive performance than knockdowns....who's to say those passes weren't gonna be completed...or even intercepted....but a sack...forced fumble...pressure into a forced throw for a pick.....is a quantitative positive and many a time...drive killer if not game changer

100 percent

if we wanna run anyone....and protect ZC we need to upgrade Center....not necessarily play 3 imports on the line That would make a huge difference....Neuf was like one of top graded run blocking guards in league....Wallace was good on run too....work in progress in pass....but is that a center issue too....Randolph and Stanly too were just fine in run game...especially big Stan who was always up field doing the dirty work If we could land a CANADIAN tackle in free agency, then flip Randolph to left guard and even better as we would still have Elo if resigned which I think happens sooner than later..Vibert and Wallce to fill in the rest of the game day roster

hell no hahah....I think the "braintrust" has finally come around But thats my inclination how it goes down with the vet incumbents...maybe not in that exact order per say....but the way it will go for pre- FA signings to consume what we failed to spend in 2025 and saved on 6 game

Scmeck likely wont be ready anyway so hopefully we dont have him pencilled in as a guy we looking to use Kramdi is a good rotation depth guy....and has value, but we can be way better for way less at SAM so if he is a role/depth guy he cant be sucking in 140k+ a yr tho Our second yr guys in Shay and Smith....Woodbey...Allen should all be better than last and more than capable of stepping in and if not starting taking heavy reps....Griffin needs to be re-upped and he wont break the bank so those guys alone...4 on entry level...Griffin very affordable should allow us to be active in fixing our lines I would think Bailey is gonna push for full rotation usage and if one of the 2 ends we saw takes the job and runs with it then there is another entry level deal playing which helps even further...But Osh needs to be willing to go with the youth movement...and Hopefully Walters see's that and takes some of the deadwood right out of Osh's hands and he has no choice They are all 2nd yr guys will have another full camp...and all showed well when playing last yr Neuf has played 17..18..14...18 games in last 4 yrs so is shown he can be durable...I think his vet leadership be key one more yr and he be am ideal 6th of a Rookie/FA signing who isnt pricey or Vibert can take the job as he can cover multiple spots on line

Gonna be WJ...Bryant...Nichols...Lawson...3 of 4 back loaded on 2025 money for less a 2026 hit

Thing is...we only need 7 true starter caliber Candadians....so if you do 3 on the oline...2 receivers...and 2 at anytime on defence you can easily navigate the sms..this trying to make 9...10 guys a thing with sub par talent in a good 3 of them for most part is just dumb...not to mention costly There are a lot of quality Canadians that are gonna be free...and some that wont necessarily break the bank either, but we need to have open mind and be willing to change who we play and where as our Canadians

yeah we kinda did...and the last 2 yrs...he's been dealing with injury issues...trend?..anomaly?...hard to say but his big price, and the fact if he goes down there will be a huge drop off in production if we refuse to go import there...I just dunno Sure we can 6 game him and not absorb the cost, but his huge salary, along with ZC's 600k...still on books and affects who else we sign before even the first snap of TC...We gotta go young and trust in the scouting and eject salaries of Gauthier..Kolo..Thomas..Kramdi (as he is the lesser of Nichols and Holm in our bloated secondary salary mess)......Hallett...Wilson...Even T.Jones. We have inhouse guys already on entry level deals for most part to cover all those guys, plus a possible draft gem or 2...and I would think some of the new scouting staff guys brought on last yr will have more beefit this We can go minimal salary in several areas and be able to be very proactive with both lines, and a legit WR....

I just hope that we aren't asleep at the wheel again thinking things will just fall in place and people/players will give us a nice wait and see period....cause I think that's what our mindset was and that we just assumed it would happen cause we were this successful place with perfect dynamics....cause it was ...maybe 5 yrs ago....but not lately....and that mindset bit us in the arse hard for about 3 yrs running now They got too consumed in past glory and accolades and got extremely lazy...complacent and I would say a bit too cocky as well.... Cause if we have this cruise control lack of urgency kinda attitude again...and just assume prospects will be there, then we will be scraping up crumbs again and scrambling after the fact
