Great signing....hopefully at the expense now of JT and Lawson can gobble up major reps and become the force he is likely to be yup...for a RB who will be 30 in yr 2 of the deal...has had injury issues now3 yrs running....sure a couple instances he played nurt and through it, but was he at his best....could we have done as good or better with sitting hum down till healthy and used a cheap import....very likely His playing style...his age....3 yrs.....man I just cant see the logic in it...and or the success with it through all 3 yrs He actually was one of the higher rated interior guys league wide...Definitely with Canadians players he was...and with proper usage...a Oline killer DT riding shotgun with him....he becomes an elite National starter Yup...a lesser cost....I think be more acceptable...Or half being marketing...even better even at 300k......And that option with marketing can allow us to chase a top ranked WR and or OL guy and that would likely allow BO to not get the snot beat out of him game in and game out as well -

Of it was me...I'd target the best Dline guy available, the best oline guy available to us, and a difference maker LB if one is there for the pickings....the fact we have a plugger like Jones...possibly re-upping Wilson shouldnt be a reason we dont go after one....that be just status quo of previous yrs with pre-determined roster spots regardless of who's available or who pops off page in TC...If we cn do that...draft well....recruit well then I think we dont even need to chase the highest priced WR....But sign a solid and consistent guy and do solid scouting to compliment Pokey...Demski...and whoever else shows up best in camp -

thing is tho...can he take that beating all yr....hasnt been able to do so last few yrs....And my opinion is he isnt a RB with a style to sustain a long career playing how he has to to be effective....and he is by no means a explosive back who can bust a TD from anywhere on the field and can morph his game Love him...but soon to be 29...battering ram style runner...injuries starting to become an issue....To me doesn't seem like the smartest move...hometown hero and all -

You dont need a ratio breaker to succeed...and generally the guy behind him if said ratio breaker gets hurt is not even close to being a quality starter...and factor in how here he cnt fathom the idea to switch his ratio to account for that, and just puts out a sub par lineup, well you get crap like we have witnessed Also...if you do say happen to find a Canadian backup who is at par...and likely wont be a rookie...you paying premium x2 for one spot, and bastardizing your roster elsewhere...like we have seen yup...just what I was saying...His Canadiana agenda is a real Achilles heal for us...especially for most part when he favours guys who would be hard pressed to even make a starting roster elsewhere...some even making roter at all **** the extra pick....not gonna rally make a lick of difference anyway...especially with what we draft after our first 1..2 picks...U can get a better player in FA with experience coming off a rookie deal on the cheap -

Walter's has brought in guys....and who knows what the guys we cut in camp who showed really well would have done if we didnt do the usual and gift spots to dead weight coach's favs The key thing this yr is Osh needs to smarten up and roster...and THEN play his best talent...and use his ratio to best compliment the team and talent here...not his lame carved in stone this is where we play Canadians regardless if they not the best.......basically his whole time here Aslo...maybe shelf his vision of playing excessive Canadians just cause he has a Maple Leaf flag up his keister, when it doesnt benefit us...just soothes his ego...agenda...whatever the heck it is, but it's utterly pointless -

Ouch....pass.....Unless bonus laden or marketing not against the cap Having almost 1 million tied into ZC and who knows what we are gonna get....and in BO who last 2 yrs has been a bit of an injury concern...as he been playing not 100 percent alot....thats almost crippling...Especially of ZC is just continuing on the blah trajectory and BO is battling injuries again You can get a FA back for half that at most...or a entry level guy at a quarter of the cost and get just as good production, -

I actually couldnt agree more..The boot to the plums the Three got was well needed to kick start things The bolded part....if done...and done right I dont think we even see a hiccup and are right back at the top next yr...sadly if this was the mantra since the end of 2023...we probably win 2024 and were back last yr Biggest off-season for us in a decade...lets hope we get it right... -

Technique and scheme intelligence plays a big hand in it...and self preservation too....also being smart Stan is known for his flop/fall to ground to protect his knees...gets a lot of good natured laughs about it from teammates doing it too....in heavy ttaffic pile ups and guys clamoring around after a play is executed when he feels or senses any hanging into his lower legs does the drop to the ground like he shot...if you actually watch for it you we see it at times....or wonder why a lot of the times he is on the turf....master of self preservation and never really had a severe knee injury in his career Now watch Kolo for techinque and intelligence.............. for sure...there a few I hope we already have written in...or should be...we have several ready for next step/step up -

I'd go as far to say any position this coming yr....open competition across the board...I not saying go all rookies/new guys, but nobody should be a defacto starter like previous yrs regardless if they were here last YR...2...3...4 YRS..... -

he got good feet and moves real well....like his second level work...does seem a bit like Yosh...but more athletic....and yeah Cant see Lofton back with Vpool...Randolph...possibly Big Stan and this fella and Yosh was a big load and in all honesty grossly overweight even for an Olineguy...This guy is not that....and sometimes chances and opportunity comes in right spot...maybe this is his spot -

of course....but early bird gets the worm....and if if anything it drives his price right through the roof to an unrealistic amount...it makes someone else eat it ...His buddy Hicks be a nice consulation price as a hybrid gy to play all over the line -

yeah...should have said defensive as thats what I meant...and some juicy bonus targets on top....we wanna be on top again...we need to spend a lil in key difference making areas. Easy to recycle areas where we been wayyyy overpaying....get back to scouting and entry level guys.... "technically" we cant....I know other teams get in the ears of our guys pretty much as soon as last sNap of year was done...Not sure how our sleepy trio work as they rest on laurels and just assiume guys are gonna magically sign here...at some on discount...but they need to play ball like the other teams.. I would too if one was available...But an import one works for me too...as it makes pretty much anyone else playing beside him that much better....and yup...If it means cutting ties with another established Canadian...warm fuzzy story player...local...what have you...You do it...Nice stories and hometown hero at a crazy price....doesnt get you the big prize gauranteed -

Booch replied to johnzo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
set the tone...get in he ear of guys now....No reason we cant be big spenders....and target guys who dont fit last yrs ratio plan....that in itself has screwed us in FA as we had no desore of foresight to see that going in a different directing in some spots would make us better I'd give Hutching's Agent a deal that makes him top 3rd in salary for a DT in league, and also add some bonuses to it too....I know Kyle says he doesn't like to do that...well maybe learn to like it! I'd also grease the palm of the top WR available....If that means maybe losing BO for a guy like Mills...Butler....so be it....or just do your damn work and bring in a new back that posses' the right skill-set...they are plentiful down south. -

And we have 600k hard tied into our guy...if the new OC and better talent still yield same kinda play/results...what a frigging boat anchor around our throats...especially if we have to drop another 450k+ into BO and Demski 1 million of cap in 3 guys...1 in serious decline...one getting up in age and struggles to stay healthy...and one u could replace and get more than adequate production at half the cost for a vet...or a third for a new guy...gonna be interesting
