Suhk was good on a great line desjarlais was great on a great line. Heart breaking. Though gray Dobson and Eli is a ton of depth. Is it crazy money yeah, but if you are gonna give a crazy money contract out I’d give it to a 25 year old with rings fresh off the nfl who happens to be the best at his position in the cfl and is an ni. Far better than giving lawler 300k imo. Or giving blm 500k+ that was more exposed after the fact tho...nobody really saw that, or said that until after the fact 8 minutes ago, Jesse said: "it's believed one other team offered more money than the Redblacks" - Tim Baines lol.

Agree. That’s kind of the nature of guards and why they don’t stand much of a chance at mol. probably right I can’t imagine us adding 300k to our sms for interior ol. Demski lawler lots of guys could have a bigger impact. Still sad. Just now, Bubba Zanetti said: So who becomes our C if Couture leaves? Eli. Dobson could back up as well. Bubba Zanetti 1

greenrider55 Posted January 30, 2023 Report Posted January 30, 2023 Re: Derek Dennis, I think he had a really solid shot at MOL last year had he not broken his leg, he was having an extremely good year… however that’s a couple bad injuries in the last few years. Might see a significant step back this year. Or, like Bryant, maybe he’s just technically very sound and will play at a high level for a long time. Bigblue204 and wbbfan 2

Right now it seems like kicking a wet sack of kittens. Them missing out on Desjarlais... yeah- they massively whiffed on that one. Inexcusable. Edited January 30, 2023 by Wanna-B-Fanboy

A VERY poor man's Stan The Boy Bryant..... but yes, it would have been an upgrade on that atrocious Sask line. Dennis is more than solid. Hard to compare him against a the GOAT. But there were many speculating pre injury that he was the MOOL. 40 minutes ago, Booch said: that was more exposed after the fact tho...nobody really saw that, or said that until after the fact Yes and no. I remember reading posts on here about his lack of pass protection. His run game blocking was solid though. wbbfan 1

Doubt it....Kolo is adequate at best....and has reached potential....gets out muscled and pushed around too much to be "the guy" He benefited much like Chunhg before he left here by great teamates..scheme and environment...and you have to remember...what is he..like 31..32 going into this yr?...career journeyman back up who landed in right situation here...he will be the depth 6th guy as he can play guard/center and only if he beats out Dobson which I dont see happening Bubba Zanetti and wbbfan 2

Bubba Zanetti Posted January 30, 2023 Report Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Trevor Harris apparently headed to free agency. Wonder if the gappers take a swing..........and a miss. Edited January 30, 2023 by Bubba Zanetti
