yeah...I have full confidence in our scouting network now to replace and reload..5 yrs ago nope...now...no concerns And you cant continually stay status quo and continue to win...we did that for 2021...2022 we keep the keys...and reload..re-tool..Ellingson/Bailey is a upgrade to Lawler/Adams in the grand scheme....Maston will ore than adequately replace Darby...Darby was brought in to replace Maston...no concerns there... Harris leadership and heart will be missed, but I bet at end of the yr we are either number 1 or 2 in rushing again And hands down we still have the best O-line and with Davis leaving the cats..we still have best dline....and we are missing only Alford and BA (till likely Aug) in the defensive backfield who started the Grey Cup

show me who better than Collaros...Bryant..Yoshi..Neuf....Couture...The Jeffs...Biggie...Rose...Nichols...whos a better Canadian RB than the 2 we resigned...same with Demski...who upgrades him Canadian wise....some people just never happy

they didnt need to get better...maintain and augment......if we had to replace all those starters we resigned...that would have been huge on open market...we would be way worse for it...we doing just fine..

we signed our own guys already which cost us..and Maston is back and was the SAM before Darby...and will be back there...so its a tough loss, but we will be fine there

THAT was a reference as to whats left for Riders to shore their line...I fine with Sayles and the new recruits and Walker/Rose

and Laurent is off the table now...not much else left as Stove is basically as good as gone to BC

he always says that...but thats also as they have numbers in with guys, and need to have it available if they choose our offer..u dont just toss money everywhere and then have a guy u really want say yes...and u spent that allotment on a shiny new impulse buy

he has done that in the past

screw it....use harris money we had set aside that he balked at...and whatever we have left for others and toss it at Strev....we can recruit another DB and receiver...I sure we can scrap 250k or so to manage that...add in a per start bonus too if ZC gets IR'd

yeah...we hooped if all we have is Brown as experienced back up....yikes

hes basically a done deal....but no need to rush it...dude will be out half the yr so basically...Harris is the one stuck on his number.....and we did talk money

yeah they are solid moves for sure...but if the price of signing them..and duke to the stupid money, eliminates upgrading the lines...which are putrid, and a legit DB...Then it was money poorly spent....

4 yrs ago...didnt impress with Elks....he's good dont get me wrong...but bet Riders wayy over payed,

AGREE....Sankey is a stud...solid....but he cant do it all...severely sucking dline and DB wise there

forgot QB

well...based on whats gone on...prob paying about 425k for 2 linebackers...smart cap management...keep em comin Oday haha

what Dline....oh crap I forgot..Marino is a stud hahahaha

yeah...bang for buck not there....didnt do much for the Elks....hope that clears path for us to bring back Darby

we prob signed Ellingson and Bailey for price of Lawler.....Or you could say Woli/Demski....Thats the smart way to build a receiving group

I doubt we offered more than 180k to be honest....

no...thats why Jones kept Walker over Ellingson....sees him as a corner hahaah Chris Jones is gonna look like a fool again this year...trying to show everyone that he is the smartest guy in the room

http://draftscout.com/dsprofile.php?PlayerId=69761&DraftYear=2011 not saying he still a 4.4 guy...but thats faster than anything Duke ever produced

yeah...I poo Pooed it at first...I thought he was like at 300 yards for yr...I musta been looking at some one else....dude has great hands too to make the crowded catches in traffic...I think ZC will love that

but production wise, Ellingson isnt trending down, and isnt as brittle.....wont play the role Darvin did so should also stay healthy....I love DA btw..

yup....DA was a key guy for our turn around...be missed in more ways than one thats for sure...but we need to reload.....nature of the beast
