Fatty Liver

He usually looked exasperated, big on the "I can't believe this ****" moments.

He was already in place as their STC, calm, intelligent and an improvement on Ryan Phillips.

I think they limited Pokie's yards the second half of the season using him mostly inside where Woli and Clercius should dwell, almost every pass thrown his way required him to come back to the ball or stop and wait for the reception allowing defenders to congregate. He's quick, twitchy and as slippery as an eel, hit him in stride and there's a good chance he's taking it to the house, which he did multiple times in the first half of the season. With the right QB throwing the ball he should have no problem accounting 1500 yd seasons, if he can stay healthy. Unbox him, turn him loose.

Walters started off as a Natl. scout, with his U-Sport connections no reason he can't continue on with the help of an assistant. In his recent interview Rigmaiden revealed he plans to spend 6 months in Vancouver and the 6 months in his off-season home in Virginia scouting players in the US SE.

It wasn't "all check downs", it was carefully executed shots downfield to avoid interceptions with no 50/50 desperation balls thrown. Darvin Adams two best seasons were played with Nichols and LaPo. Shouldn't be necessary, Tony would play for sandwiches. On Ed Tait's podcast Jones said he was paid $180USD per game + Subway coupons playing for the Iowa Barnstormers of the Indoor Football League in 2021.

Nope, but probably means they won't be signing Wynton McManis anytime soon. 😄

Walters for now, he's done Natl. scouting before and is really good at it, he'll probably pull someone up from U-Sports to assist him or maybe pick up Eric Deslauriers the Natl. scout the Als dropped a few weeks ago.

Dunk says Macsymic will be the Elks new OC, I don't know why there's no talk he'll be interviewing in Wpg. but maybe he declined the offer to interview.

Can't see them picking Benevides, his 3 previous seasons as the Lions HC were uninspiring.

That's true, but the one year contract often serves the purpose of getting them a raise every year without having to lock in at the same rate they received the previous year.

Wynton McManis earned $206,500 last season as the CFL's highest paid LB and he's now a FA, can you estimate what it will cost to employ him next season? Hint, cutting Jake Thomas is not going to create enough wiggle room to accommodate his salary.

Steinauer seems to have maneuvered himself out of the noose and escaped up the rope to the top of the gallows, from where he watches the misadventures below unfold.

Interesting connection between Geroy and Milanovich. "Simon played three seasons with Scott Milanovich, Hamilton’s head coach, as his quarterback at the University of Maryland from 1993 through 1995. His best campaign as a Terrapin came with Milanovich throwing him the football in 1994 as he made 77 receptions for 891 yards and five touchdowns in 11 games."

Really have to wonder about Danny's ties to Hamilton, it's been so long since he played there's nobody left including the previous owner and Pigskin Pete.

Unless they're offering quite a bit more money why would Danny leave for the same job? Ti-Cats must be playing loose with the admin. cap to pay substantially higher wages to management than the Bombers are able to.

Back in the day many of the same accusations would have been made about Cal Murphy and the way he ran the Bombers, if players were as brave and vocal as they are today. It's the cheap, old school football mentality dragged out of the past they don't like, which was also the model for the NHL right up until the late 60's. Unfortunately Hufnagel and the Stamps are still using it today, due to budget restrictions they're forced to live with by the negligent owner.

For the sake of their fanbase the Elks can not afford to get this hire wrong, better they go with the safe choice in Campbell, than gambling on someone without HC experience, which includes most of their candidates.

This Bonfire Podcast will become legendary, but maybe not in a good way. How many beers does a big man like Walby have to consume to reach this level of inebriation?

The amount backup QB's are paid could be redefined this off-season, $200-$250k seems about right, with the starter salaries being dragged back down to around $400-$450k. A lot of experienced backup options potentially available. Maier Shiltz MBT Ford Fajardo Arbuckle Strev. Crum Masoli Powell

More likely suffering from a nagging injury, if healthy no reason he can't play a few more years.

Price would be the biggest issue, fit would not, as a QB duo Cody and Zach would be great if used intelligently as a tandem, he can do everything Strev. was supposed to do.

I watched Bad Santa 2 last night, I swear this guy was in it.

They'd get better value out of Prukop, knows his job and does it well, allows Wilson a clear path to #2 following Brown's footsteps.
