Booch

Only way I can see it being sensible

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...

ON IT!....'ll head right back to San Jose after xmas There's a DT guy I like too....Stanley "Stump" Hardwood ....

thats a damn good analysis lol

woulda been a good get

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

Yeah...I nade him up ...an amalgamation/hybrid of some kids I worked with recently hahaha....sounds good tho eh?

we gonna sign a kid ...Octavious Grabsemall 6'4" big bodied guy....Ran a 4.5 forty on his pro-day but played last 2 yrs of eligibility in Basketball....24 yr old

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

yeah...I afraid he may not...thats why we need to be greasy and let it be known...we will pay up lol....

My opinion...where he's at currently...what he posses' skill-set wise and his ceiling still to be realized...he's the marquee guy in FA and a top guy to target

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.

If he had 30 ints..id feel a bit better lol

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

All depends on where u may be overpaying...in the cfl...db...lb...de...even rb should never be huge salaries...those are...and should be the easiest to recycle thru and continuously plug in new guys on entry level deals Dl..ol..top flight wr...qb...yessir! Lock in and load the pricey core guys there And u draft smart..with eye on guys with starter potential and not just ST guys...great/potential laden guys can play ST and ease into rotation for starter and legit backup roles...ST only plugs...are just that...and we seen first hand they add zero to the true depth...just cause you have certain amount of guys on roster listed at certain positions doesn't constitute depth... I think we be fine ticket wise if he left for big cash..especially if you sign a marquee guy who gives more value for the money

well if we cave in and blow a 260k+ on BO then we better not be -re-upping Kramdi and Holm for what will be over 300k when we can get as good...and in all honesty better production for 180K total....Re-up the most vital guy (Nichols) and go with youth, or a guy going into second contract who is already solid...and likely breakout star...IE be good at player evaluation/scouting we've gone down the go cheap road last few yrs...hasnt really worked out...time to flip the switch

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?
