Noeller Posted January 31 Author Report Posted January 31 I'm definitely good with RedHawk at SAM and not averse to a Hallett at S... I think most of us felt like Kramdi got better and better with each snap. Goalie, bearpants, Stickem and 5 others 5 1 2
CodyT Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Let me to ask to the Dru Brown over Collaros guys, @Mikeyou specifically Would you rather the group we have now or brown over zc still?

Hell, did anyone discuss how we’re also paying Cam Lawson about 140k this year? Every offseason season... some people on here think that only the Bombers have zero money to spend and that every other team has an endless amount. You would think after this many seasons in a row where Walters has done a great job of keeping guys and bringing in guys that they would trust him and the system and would assume that he knows what he is doing.

I’m torn because I don’t really know what any of it looks like and I don’t really know what our approach is going to be short term vs long term. I won’t lie and say I’m a huge believer in Zach at this stage of his career and I certainly don’t believe Streveler is a better pure backup than Dru, but I do have hope that Streveler will bring an element to our offense that will help Zach. It’s a lot of moving parts. I think if it plays out how I expect it to, I’d want Zach over Dru at this point, but I’m scared that we are going to be in serious trouble at some point if Strevy hasn’t evolved as a passer.

Mike Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Richmond in for Hardrick is probably one of the easiest decisions we can make as a team. People are going to question the effect it may have on the locker room, but if those guys don’t rally around a guy like Richmond finally getting his shot after being on the PR for 4 years (especially with him being about as stand up of a guy as it gets) then that’s on them Noeller, Stickem, Goalie and 7 others 8 2

You can see the passion he plays with and demonstrates it on and off the field. At some point though, an organization needs to be somewhat ruthless. I don't want to end up in the CFL hinterlands again .. I want this organization to be respectable and highly competitive for YEARS to come. That means proper and good competition in camp .. making the hard decision to move on from vets when younger, cheaper (better) alternatives exist. rebusrankin, Stickem, Noeller and 2 others 5

JuranBoldenRules Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 3 hours ago, Geebrr said: I don’t think it is a conspiracy against a guy with a three year contract - and I know you don’t either. They want him to be the starter - I’m sure. I clearly don't. Sarcasm toward the people who do. Kolankowski isn't signing here for that number (keeping in mind some of the numbers we have/will have at playmaker spots) to be the 6th guy. The centre job isn't up for grabs right now IMO. There's not going to be a competition in a camp where there's low compete anyway these days among vets. The spots that might be up for grabs are LG and RT. Probably one of Eli/Dobson get into start in one of those spots, Dobson's shot might be LG if Gray isn't back, Eli's shot is both. Other guy is 6th OL. I'm guessing there will be Americans in the mix for at least RT, maybe both depending on the backfield situation. Jesse 1

Yeah just the year he got voted for the award finally since Bryant wasn't great either. So many plays Hardrick stands up/gets stood straight up and doesn't move his feet. You'd get some sexy looks where he wraps around someone on a run play. Kind of surprised we didn't hear about him getting any surgeries. Wouldn't bet on his knees and hips right now going into mid 30s. If Ottawa wants to pay him 200,000, good for him. Stickem, Tracker and rebusrankin 3

Or, better put, after the drop off from Dejarlais, neither have made me forget the guy. Gray certainly hasn't. One thing *is* clear to me that we need better at the interior of our offensive line.

I mentioned the savings there....those are all three guys north of 100k....same with miller...broke it down a while back with i think 7 vets dumped and replaced at entry level or second yr deals from another teams guy coming off first yr contracts frees us up over 300k alone There is a lot of cheddar to shave without really ousting key vets....Jeffcoat I love, but age now and ability to be a force all yr make him expendable..I like Haba...I see Garbutt as even better....and we will bring in new blood too We paid/pay a lot to ST only guys who offer nothing but teams work...and thats going to change....and our draft strategy as well needs to evolve Noeller 1
