Bubba Zanetti Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 (edited) The play calls last game too....Like *uck right off. You basically handed the game away on 3 plays. Running with 11 seconds left in the half. Calling a bomb on 2nd and 6 from our 45 with just over 2 minutes left, and blitzing everyone on BC's 2nd and 10 with just under 2 minutes left. Buck and Younger need to collectively pull each-others heads out of each-others asses. Just god awful play calling from start to finish.

I don't think Buck is top tier anymore. I think he's in a funk or maybe just reached his ceiling as an OC. 14 minutes ago, blue85gold said: He just said Wheatfall is there, not practicing Dare to dream that BA is done at safety Our Dline is truly effed if Woods is out too There's a freak of a Dtackle with plenty of CFL experience out there without a contract... maybe look him up and invite him down for a coffee and a chat.

Pipe dream but a beautiful one. If woods is out we need to play Adam’s inside far more. We have ali Hubert and wj who can all play out side. The best thing with the pieces we have is stay 30 front, rotate the 3 ends play Adam’s largely at nose with a Canadian spelling him. Unfortunately, Jake will take every rep inside. Adam’s likely slides back as forth with schmekel spelling him. We really need to dump some guys from the ar and pr then start airlifts.

DT mentioned on the pre-game show the other day that the cap savings might not be as big as people think. If a good chunk of their pay was paid out as a bonus, it still counts against the cap so the 6 game savings doesn't end up being all that significant. Still you would think that with all these guys going down, they'd have some money to play with now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still you would think that with all these guys going down, they'd have some money to play with now. If Schoen is out for the rest of the season that's $125,000 right there for example. If Lawler sits the full 6 that'll be like $70,000. Keep in mind if you signed a guy to play half a season you'd pay $100,000 hard cash for a "$200,000" salary. Not that there's $200,000 players sitting around. Like someone said it will likely come in handy more for building the 2025 team. Maybe you dump a bunch of Collaros salary into 2024, re-sign Schoen.

I thought about that but tbh, many of our big contracts shouldn’t be back any way, and have been restructured any way. Idk if you can keep doing it in the same year. 28 minutes ago, bigg jay said: DT mentioned on the pre-game show the other day that the cap savings might not be as big as people think.

Still you would think that with all these guys going down, they'd have some money to play with now. We don’t hand that much out in incentives, here’s the top few guys. Lawson 135/141k, lawyer 135/285, Schoen 125/230, while guys like garbutt, Habba and Parker are base deals. That means we likely save 100-130k on the three guys at 6 games plus 80-100 on the younger base guys which also includes Hallett and Kelly. Then you can pro rate that money for 2/3s of the year as well if some one was available of an impact status. Wanna-B-Fanboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you dump a bunch of Collaros salary into 2024, re-sign Schoen. 3DN has Lawler at a base salary of 115k (would save us roughly 38k over 6 games) and Schoen at a base of 76k for the season. The rest is signing, housing, travel or non-football bonuses for those guys. Maybe I'm misinterpreting how it works but those bonuses all sound like sunk costs (as they aren't performance related) so they should count against the cap, leaving only the base salary for potential savings. https://3downnation.com/2024/05/09/the-cfls-15-highest-paid-receivers-for-the-2024-season/ 1 minute ago, wbbfan said: I thought about that but tbh, many of our big contracts shouldn’t be back any way, and have been restructured any way.

No front works, when Jake Thomas is taking the most reps follow by wj coasting. 17to85, WildPath and Stickem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
