Booch Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 they will...when do you ever see quality Canadian O-lineman hit open market??...very rare...they may wait till last minute to sign, but they will...Unless they really want to go home for whatever reason...ala Labatte...but he is a Flatlander so he didn't know any better JCon 1

But I also know that they're trying to make a few things work, like fitting in Bighill.
Booch Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 well he fit in this year at 185k...and will prob take only an additional 25..30k to resign him...so you don't resign Dressler at his 130k or more he is making and use the remaining 100k or so to re-up Chungh..Goose and Bryant..and still have a bit left...easy peasy fits just nicely JCon 1

Its crazy how much our Canadian recievers have improved over the course of a year. oh no - it's already catching on - I've created a self-fulfilling prophecy!! Rod Black is in Toronto salivating right now....all we need is to add Brandon Bridge and we'll have "Air Canada" throwing to the "Canadian Air Force".

Floyd Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 Its probably Leggett and Okpo that get cut to make room for the OL signings... Dr Zaius, shadybob, Colin Unger and 1 other 3 1
M.Silverback Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 On 2018-10-16 at 1:16 PM, Mike said: I think Oliviera is a heck of a talent, but let's be realistic, he's not even close to a NFL caliber back. It will definitely be a huge challenge for him. There are so many new drafted and UDFA running backs in the NFL each year. Be interesting to see if he gets an NFL Combine invitation. Long shot I think. More likely has a UND pro day, maybe skips the CFL Combine. I'd like to see him do the CFL Combine. As others have stated, I think he'd be a beast from a testing perspective. As a Winnipegger, I'd love to see him get an NFL shot, but, I'd also love to see him on the Blue.
rebusrankin Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 So could Oliviera be a legit successor to Harris?
Booch Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 I hope our successor to Harris is an import...we just are lucky to have a National of his calibre play that spot..so we adjusted our roster accordingly.. but it's not ideal...you see when he gets dinged or goes out how the drop off is...severe. Also if we want to keep that ratio if he is out extended time..well it would affect us in several positions to make it work..and most likely making us we weaker as a whole. I hope our next feature back is an import

rebusrankin Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 This is from Penton's latest article in The Athletic, quoting a rival GM or Coach on us signing Gray: " • Signing (Geoff) Gray is a big (bleeping) deal. Our division just got even tougher. " blue_gold_84, Mr Dee and Noeller 3
Blueandgold Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 I wouldn’t let Dressler go anywhere. There’s no coincidence we play much better with him in the lineup. Dr Zaius, Atomic, Fred C Dobbs and 2 others 3 2

I dunno, in Walters latest press-conference he mentioned Dressler seeking a one-year deal, but I don't know if he was referring to this year's contract or next.
Brandon Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 I see Dressler going back to Saskatchewan for a season and retiring blue_gold_84 1
Dr Zaius Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Just now, Brandon said: I see Dressler going back to Saskatchewan for a season and retiring I can't see that. Chris Jones was the one that cut him and players have pride.

Or maybe he meant a year deal but I'd think if that was the case then ya Jones wouldn't be on board for that.
Jpan85 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 He is not going to do anything with the Riders till that management is gone. They left him with a bitter pill in his mouth with the too short talk. Floyd, wbbfan, JCon and 1 other 4
Booch Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 He would be a nice guy to keep if we have the ratio ability to have him on the roster as a back-up...used in packages and to rotate in to keep guys fresh... SPuDS and Bigblue204 2

Booch Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 I think he knows if to extend his career he's gonna be taking a pretty good shave...he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on to support big bucks now with 2 years straight of significant time missed each year SPuDS and JCon 2
