Booch

lol....chase it....maybe you will find a coach like Osh who has a chub for your technique or lack there of hahahaha

but...U need to actually be on for the week leading up to a game....running around...random workouts.....gets you exactly 0.00 in your pocket....and teams for most part fly you in at their dime, but if you are there for 48 hours while they hum and haw...or run you through a couple looks...well then you are on your own after that for lodging and airfare back home....so there is that too Like Elgersma this yr...made a grand total of 0.00.....and if he just runs around looking for workouts again next yr...will earn again noting other than some per diem rate in a TC if he even gets an invite. So if he lasts the 6 weeks he will get 1850 a week in pay before tax (11 100 bucks), and if nothing pans out...again...then he gets another 0.00 wasting away If he woulda sucked it up and came up here and showed something....and earned his max rookie amount 85k...and took a shot in spring of 2026....where would he be better off $$ wise and actual development/exposure to the pros's??...Pretty easy answer Sure the allure of the PR money is there at 8400 usd per week....but you need to be on one....so say he lasts half a year...with exchange he makes about his cdn rookie salary...so is it worth it really with taxes and everything when it's a stretch a Canadian Trained QB would even get a legit shot?....nope...he has poor guidance

some futures guys dont even make it past the first mini camp or OTA's...A young guy like him....put up more numbers again this yr....he will get another look if teams see something

Vaval has good representation and a in tune Agent who agreed with him to make the smart decision for this yr and just commit....and add to his tape...More guys need to find that type of governance in their career...Hello Elgersma

for this yr yup....could stash him all yr on the IR to be part of the team and get involved in the new offensive system and then come 2027 he hits ground running, and then see what he has...if he doesnt have the magic back in 2027 camp....he gets released

some those guys making NILS money will hardly get a shot in NFL as well...so yes if they wanna play...then theu have really only one legit place I think the league should have a rookie entry level max for that first contract...Have the current first yr salary as the floor....and max it at 150k per yr for draft picks and guys signed out of the U.S be it a college grad...or a guy with some NFL time bouncing around, as you would find a better stream of guys become available

I think we will likely sign him at some point on a barf=gain deal for late season possibly being ready....no harm in that really, but in no way count on him in any regard We have a couple of nice prospects we signed, but hope we add Hardy to Pokey, Demski and Clercius and whatever rookie pops off the page as the 5th guy and that would be a nice group Maybe we are gonna target a Canadian WR in FA and go 3 Canadians and 2 Imports...and allow us to maximize some legit Import beef on the dline

Yeah shay and Smith need to be integrated and hopefully makonzo is signed and stays healthy He can play corner..pretty much any db brought up here can easily play corner or safety as its pretty much a easy transition for most part coming from the u.s...halfback not so much...

Allen on a corner..Griffin at SAM..Woodbey at Will..Kramdi patrolling the middle...Nichols and Holm in their spots..that's a pretty versatile starting core and would allow a lot of different looks Younger could install Now if we get a couple disruptor DT's to go with Lawson...2 ends with motors who can allow WJ to play a limited rotational just get after the QB role with Bailey's unique skill set sprinkled in we could see circa 2019-2021 style defence again

Nice..this is a key signing...one of the have to have back ones in my opinion as he just coming into his own...he physical..one our better tacklers...can play any of the db spots and guys dont realize hes 220+ pounds..and can cover...hed make a solid WIL too if given the opportunity...and was our best SAM last yr

For sure..but he is no more raw than any cis draft pick...and prob blows most away with athleticism...so hopefully our coaching staff will coach Neither will be ready until at least post labour day anyway so they a non issue..maybe some talks in back half of season tho I think both Stan and Neuf have an idea of a fair deal already discussed and are allowing the team to sign others and see what FA is bringing to help the team..and officially sign when dust settles..and possibly get a bit more if money is still there

Intruiging for sure..I could see him doing well in a role like woodbey did..off the edge..in the box covering the intermediate zone and flats But watching his tape...he could be a real good downhill safety too, with ability for some real good over the top coverage..hopefully he pans out and gets a DA role to experiment with him Him at safety if he is real deal and Allen at corner...versatile scenario..especially with woodbey amd hopefully Griffin

almost excessive is recommended

i'd engage and revel in your vitriol

hopefully he can navigate the maize of training camp and although somewhat liited in attempts he avaeraged over 10 yards a PR and 21 a kickoff...so as in in gae replacement he wont just bobble and drop for no gain....so that depth is nice and especially with his National status...and yes he does have some wheeels on him and has to be accounted for out there

he was playing a bit knicked a lot of the yr and I think Randolph is the heir apparent there...If Vpool progresses can see him in 2027 at RT and and Randolph at LT...Hopefully both are Bryant shadow and soaking it all in...we also have that one guy we signed who name escapes me coming to camp who could really impress too. Yeah both he a Neuf graded out well and were solid of not better for most part And like u said and not to beat a deadhorse to death....but the ripple effect of a lousy center cant be understated enough...I fully expect Wallace as well to look worlds different if we have a legit center.... Anothe thing...OC guys structure and schemes were garbage too...so I sure that had a hand in our line at times looking lost

Good signing really...proven National depth...proven returner as a backup in a pinch with in game injury...can run jet.....Far better player than Corcorran who if we draft well and or grab a National in FA should never see the roster

I think he learned that lesson hard last yr I'm really curious as to what our draft strategy is this yr...

or was he stone walled by whatever reason and not really given the chance....we shall see this summer if he comes out of camp as the starter and how the line plays as a group during the season...thet will be the indicator right there....And if he gets beat out by a rookie...Or Vibert...well then it is what it is....Tho I will stand on my hill and say he is better than Kolo ...always was

seems like it....i like his approach this yr for sure, tho some the money seems a bit out there, but maybe he knows that he was X amount more to use this yr so it's just the new norm...Tho I sure all the signings pre 2026 have money on the 2025 books, so the actual 2026 hit wont be what it seems.... I just want him this yr to have 1..2 targets in FA that will be no doubt about it upgrades and do what it takes..we def have the resources to do so, and playing nice the last 3 yrs...well that didnt pan out...time to be greasy lol

hopefully we have a real camp...real battles and the cream rises...whoever that may be....but hopefully we are past the old way of certain positions are pre-decided and to heck what TC showed. If for anything at the very least we know Eli is as solid a 6th you can have...can play multiple spots and is just a machine in jumbo...

I think his injury was still an issue and was hurried back before really ready...where have we seen that before and it was affecting his explosiveness, and to me looked like it was still in his head and was self preserving Dude wouldnt have lost it all over one off-season. He was also misused/basically neglected on the offence as he could have added a nice lil element if integrated into the system...but the OC and the in no rush to hire a a legit OC last yr was reason for that and we settld for a guy who isnt qualified to run a Prep School offence....and not sure what spots we still need to fill, but Osh's "in no rush" to hire anyone is just more par for the course...hopefully that attitude is the last hold over with him for 2026 and he truly seen the errors as he claimed and is gonna be more hands on and fix things...Thankfully Walter's smartened up and took 2 dead weight anchors away from the equation for TC

Yeah we in pretty good position there with incubants and recruited guys...and we havnt seen what FA offers...tho like u said...we need to focus on both lines and WR Do u really need to ask with u know who as the coach...cause it could be asked at likely 4 positions at mi imum the last few yrs

JT still wanted to play tho...so not really on his terms...so we threw him a bone essentially As for Stan...he played just fineast yr and if he back he stays where he is...only change i could see is him and Randolph flipping He's earned the right to.come back and compete and show he still has it..and if he doesn't I can see him doing a Miller on the 6 game all yr or on the PR at full salary just in case and be that veteran presence to guide our young tackles and quasi coach All that said...ive seen nothing to indicate he is not still in the top tier of tackles...last yr for a good majority of our offence cant be viewed as for what it appeared...we were facked from day1

Last year I woulda chased Pickett...but like said here....we way over spending in secondary as it is so that be just robbing from Peter to pay Paul and not really benefitting us I like what we have in Woodbey, Allen, Smith and Shay and we need to let that young talent keeo getting better, and by what has been seen all will be pretty damn good Hopefully we sign Griffin to round it out as he would be a big loss, and is just hitting his prime too, and is also just so dam versatile and perfect for Younger's system
