Booch

he left me wanting anything..never mind more hahaha...he sure cashed in on his one snow game performance pretty well for the last 2 years tho

Yeah find that kind of interesting..Either Spooner really regressed, or didn't progress, or he is signing in the new year...none the less though...if Speller is better then makes sense to keep the best regardless where drafted...and if we hang on to all our o-line guys we have ample depth anyway and is of least of Managements concerns.

Hopefully the fact we are bringing Augustine back is at the expense of Lafrance...not needed here...and not worth his salary

now that the Stamps have released Mathews to pursue NFL interest, Walters should be in his ear letting it be known that if it doesn't pan out...he has a pail of cash waiting for him and the opportunity to be "the guy" in the offence....he more than showed he still has it, and would be a huge difference maker

yeah have no issues with Nichols sustaining what we have been doing...and with a full compliment on offense to work with, and continued style of this defense see no reason to regress...so working in Streveler as we go has to be the course we take...unless he comes in at TC and just flat out wins it...though he plays a very physical style...he also is built to play it too...not your pro-typical QB body type. Also, with reps and experience all young QB's eventually tone that part of their games down, as the game slows down for them...so I'm not too worried about Streveler getting beat up game in and game out..a lot of the time he is inflicting the contact...as opposed to absorbing it...though lots of hard contact is not optimal...there is an actual..and big difference on how the contact is made

exactly...you keep Nichols for next year as Streveler develops...even if Strev beats him out as the starter...case closed...2020 is the year the tuogh decisions need to occur

Actually...the times he actually struggled and the offense bogged down a bit was when Streveler seemed reluctant to run, or was told to keep looking for the pass...not sure which it was but were many instances where he could and should have took off...but didn't....They just need to let him play his game...and let the plays develop as they may...stop harnessing his runs. Do this...and the pass opens right up as guys will cheat and drop off all the time because it is already known he is a beast to bring down, and also once..or if he gets to the second level he is gone for huge gains as he is very fast and hits top speed in an instant...check out some of his college runs...unreal

throwing for 4136 yards his senior year at a 65.7% completion rate with 32 TD's to 8 Int's tells me he has no issues hitting receivers...also 11 TD passes in as a raw rookie vs what...5 INT's...tells me he can hit a receiver if open...no? Also his running..or threat to will open up the pass for him big time if plays constantly....a guy who can throw, and was 13th in the league in rushing in limited time this year is a very tantalizing thought..I'm not saying he should be deemed the starter as of now...but he should be given every opportunity this spring to show he is "not" the starter yet... What I see out of him is Tracey Ham like stats in the late 80's and early 90's...30+ TD's...4000+ yards and 800 to 1000 yards on the ground...numbers with a solid to upper level defese equates to a lot of wins

Neufeld and Gray currently the only ones signed..and the French kid who went back to school will be back

I can hold a dual role...I'm good that way haha

hahaha...if I had a new knee for sure....I was a QB in grade 10

yeah if they couldn't make that roster...obviously the talent level they are looking at is a middling group

Losing Loffler in the grand scheme of things on defense will not hinder us at all...And if his salary is going to balloon into the 130-150k a season territory it's time to cut bait..we got 3 all-star seasons out of him..what more can you ask for...Safety is the easiest position to fill and we already have guys in-house who can play it and not make the defense regress

did Mike Oshea kick your dog or steal your wife...man you have a lot of serious unfounded hate going on for what has been a pretty good last 3 yrs worth of ball...team has progressed albeit without a cup yet...but if he was to be turfed...most is staff would be too...and most likely a lot of the character in the room with it...and you are back to square one.. This year was a pretty resounding success...survived the season with number one QB out to start the year...then a funk portion...and then a Playoff win on the road...and an almost second one for the taking ..again on the road...which history shows rarely happens...sustainable success and environment to maintain that..and re-load it is whats vital and key before all the fruits of that labour can be realized...and we are exactly at that point right now...and keeping things status quo from Miller on down right now will allow us to keep keeping on in that regard...But...and this is the key thing...if Walters can't bring in the talent at receiver this year to augment it and put us over the top...well then a switch in that position is a realistic change...and won't affect the culture or the environment thats been built

Not to mention even a more horseshit management team and football operating environment...and culture...and most importantly perception of organization from around the league...light years away from that....that alone in my books gives them another year or 2...but Walters is the guy and to lesser extent his Asst GM's who have to produce this year and fix the last 2 remaining issues

Duly noted...do or die who?? I actually havn't been over there much the last week or so...to even just lurk and read...I'm sure tho I am missed hahaha

will do my best...tho many there hate my opinions...even though they are accurate ones hahaha

hahaha....I do...yes! I specialize in the veer...

how is that sad...your offence was bruuuutal...I could coordinate a better game than Macadoo

look at his college passing stats his senior year...the guy can pass so the notion here he is strictly a runner is a bit off base. And before some go off babbling about it was college...division II...whatever...and mainly from people who have never played get off that horse now...means jack diddly...if you can pass and put up numbers...or you can't...it is obvious in whatever league you are in and what the competition level you play His stats totally blow Carson Wentz's SR and JR year's right out of the water...same competition level, and he seems to be doing alright He also I believe set some kind of record or went a crazy amount of time with no turnovers...so a guy who can't pass wouldn't achieve that...he needs reps...real game action and to experience the ebs and flows of a CFL game to progress further...thats the only way you get better...and coming into next year...he is no longer a rookie and already has a lot of experience, and you can bet your arse he will be watching 24 man tape all winter to see how defenses set up, and what coverage's were/are and how to attack...and what to do..and not to do...from all accounts he is highly intelligent and needs to see things once and he masters it....so all those looks and fronts he saw that were new/foreign to him last year...won't be this year

solid re-signs....gotta keep the heart of the team that o-line intact...I'm sure Goose and Nasty Chungh soon to follow...as it stands now with Hardrick and Bryant with Foketti as back-up and Neuf..Gray already signed for next year we already can breath a little easier...

and your QB for next year is who????? And Goosen will need a slightly higher bump..Chungh already got one...so his increase won't be much...same with Bryant...he probably signs back for 5 k more...big whip

I can't answer for most fans/management any more than you can..thats just your opinion..nor do I know what part of what you were quoting of what I said as it didn't show up. I don't think it's true...and pooching a regime that has won 10+ games 3 years running..and made play-offs doing so because of no cups for 28 years is foolish...that 28 years isn't on them...just the last 5 years are..and the first 2 should really be irrelevant as they had to build the organization back up...on all fronts...so 3 straight 10+ winning seasons with playoff appearances...and a west final appearance gives them leeway....at least another year or 2...but Walters should be antsy. The first 3 games reference was in regards to you saying that we won less games...if we had Nichols healthy to start the season...most likely we win 2..if not 3 of those games..as well as several others in his injury funk....yeah you can say if's and's or but's about a lot of things...but that injury probably cost us 2-3 wins at the least. 28 years yes is a long time...but is spread over about 3-4 different regimes from blow up after blow up..why do you think it has been 28 years now...explicitly for that reason. Keeping a foundation in place where players want to be..and for coaches they want to play for goes a loooong way...trust me...and we have that here...so to rip it down and try to retain...and or attract new players with the uncertainty and unknown of new coaching/management would put us back years...the lack of loyalty shown to a winning regime 3 years running now would send a pretty negative message to any player...let alone coach considering here...and that is a fact...been there..seen that CGY if they lose the cup this year will have 3 fails in a row...do you think that management will be blown up there...nope...and truthfully maybe it should as 3 times a failure should indicate they can't get over the hump...but it won't happen because it won't make them any better

hardly an excuse...name a team that would go 3-0 in the first 3 games of the year with a QB straight out of college..with 3 weeks exposure to Canadian Ball...let alone a back-up who has been around a few years...I'd say no team in this league this year.

actually no...since we were yo-yoed around several times we had the option to stay put..or move back...we chose to move back
