Got it. definitely loved hearing the Buck interview. It's got to give him some cred in the room when PL is using videos of him running plays to teach the offence.

Where can I find this? The blue bomber site?

Me too, me too B team!

I think Dressler is going to be very important to our success this year. We've already seen him working as Medlocks holder, which O'Shea will definitely exploit in special teams (as well as being a great guy to have with the ball if a play breaks down). He's going to be a big part in getting everyone on the same page in this new offence. He has some previous time with Willy and Lapo, he has crediblity around the league - which, I think, is important with all of our FA signings over the past couple of years. He's been to the Grey Cup. Smith may play here longer and have more statistical success, but in moving our team forward, I think Dressler was the more important add.

I love that our first two picks covered both sides of the line. Building from the lines out is a great strategy and I've been waiting for multiple drafts to spend a high(er) draft pick on the DL. If I wasn't so cynical about losing Chungh after this season, I'd be very optimistic.

I feel like I just read the opposite, that the OL dominated the DL in the one-on-ones.

Yes, well that will never happen.

He's 26 now. I think it's time for him to make the move up here. GMs have to be thinking they can get similar production from younger players.

No one said he'd dominate here. They simply mentioned that the CFL may still be an opportunity for him, whereas he's exhausted his nfl chances.

Entirely depends on Willy's health.

If we're able to fill multiple holes with the second tier guys for the very reasonable amounts they'll be signing for, I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

The Grant vs. Lombardi stories were fantastic. Had no idea.

I wouldn't even count Dressler in this as he will be decided before FA starts. Ted Laurant would be my #1 FA target.

Whoever our back up running back happens to be?

1. OL consistency. We seemingly have good pieces in Bryant and Chungh at least. We need them to be successful as a group. 2. Roll-outs/moving pocket. We have our OC, now we need him to use the pieces we have to keep Drew Willy on his feet. 3. One more DL. Wether this is an American pass rusher or if Bilikudi comes north, whatever. But our line sucks and we're wasting the few good years Westerman has left in the tank. 4. At least one receiver. Moore is a good possession guy (though injuries are a concern), Denmark has streaks of brilliance when he's not expected to be THE guy, but we do need that dominant consistent threat who we can count on to make big catches. 5. SAM/Safety. This won't happen until training camp or the preseason, but we need to figure out the best possible configuration of Leggett, Randle, Waggoner, etc. Assuming everyone is here next season. 6. A running game. I'm bored with our current backs. I think we need a new one.

Honestly, he had a stellar game 1 and racked up some garbage time yards at the end of game 2. Then yes, he got hurt and was fairly awful the rest of the time he was here.

I would think they were just covering their bases in case Lapo got the Sask HC job.

He more than doubles his salary. Grey Cup or no, I'm taking the raise.

I think semi-pro more refers to something like the gold eyes where the players are "paid", but it's a nominal amount that is no where near enough to live on.

Who was TO's DC this past season?

I think the simplest answer is that he doesn't want to coach.

Absolutely. I'm really getting sick of rule changes every single year. No point to it.

I also find it amusing to see how many people take things at face value. And "off field issues" could be anything, including my theory.And ya, O'Shea is nothing but forthcoming with the media That returns us to tburg's question of how that saves us face? Any team can can pull someone off of another team's PR. And any team can block that trade by putting them on their AR.

Westerman can't be nominated as the rookie, that nomination is all Bass'.

Nobody is saying anyone is right or wrong. I'm just unsure how you even formed your opinion in the first place because there's literally nothing for us to use as evidence. Watching the CFL for 50 years. Seeing thousands of players come & go. A hunch perhaps? An opinion, certainly. But what does that have to do with Davis if you've never seen him play?
