Zack Williams is the guy you tamper for. Local kid, still lives here. Easy top 5 Canadian OL in the league today, in his prime. There's your RG for the next 7-8 years.

Maybe check RiderFans? Might be full of manure though.

Williams would be a great add. Wonder if the appeal of coming home and fleeing the Dickenson Dumpster is enough to convince him?

Him and Wallace sandwiching any center not named Kolo....with Big STan and Randolph on the ends.....and the best outta Eli...Neuf...Dobson if here to round it out for 2025...I could live with that as we groom a young draftee for 2026 and beyond

CFL the one professional league where you can continue to fail upwards! A ST coordinator fired for poor performance and gets consideration for several head coaching opportunities. Make it make sense!

The chris jones technique. Now just needs to resign him self to a multi year cap crippling deal

dickie trying to save his arse and have nobody in house to take over his mess lol

Only if he's not made of stone. Does anybody have a dumptruck?

With wooden dentures in, no less....

If you're not screaming it is it really straight fire?

Randolph is the intriguing one. For a guy who didn't have a lot of legit o-line work/experience coming into the yr he fared really well...especially while adapting to the Canadian game His has real good feet for the oline and obviously the athleticism seeing as he played primarily as a tight end....and from watching him this yr, and in practice he has had some real good coaching...or is really learningfrom Stan as he has awesome hand work....which will be huge on the outside He definitely has a good looking future and could be the LT after 2025.....Another season of grooming and learning is gonna be huge....and he if need be is already a top end guard

Well it makes sense after all it started with TSN 1290 shuttering Bell Media and Corus kind of suck there was a reason I made Corus a personal F-Bomb target last year I'd say Rogers is the lesser of these evils, but considering the connectivity issues I had been dealing with the last little while......

Dickenson as GM is just a bad fit. Think he’s a very good coach but as a GM not so much.

100%. 3DN has an article up about Charleston Hughes defending the Stamps organization after guys like Ka'Deem roasted them but even he says that those coaches were just fall guys. Don't really buy his "bad blood from ex-players" excuse though because Parades also said the organization has gone downhill in the last 5 years and he's still with the club. https://3downnation.com/2024/11/28/charleston-hughes-defends-calgary-stampeders-blames-ex-player-criticism-on-bad-blood/

A 20 year STC to take over? That is ridiculous. If that's the best that the Elks can do then they aren't searching very hard.

Done watching Tulsa King, I like the new characters they brought in, well onto to Silo

Based on the Stamps statement, it doesn't sound like it was his decision. "As an organization, we felt some changes were needed as part of the process of rebuilding a winning team,” said head coach and general manager Dave Dickenson in a statement. “We thank these coaches for their contributions to the organization and wish them the best.”

That and a truck full of money maybe?

Jim Barker agrees.

technically he wasnt fired....He was on final yr of his deal....maybe he declined re-upping or said he was moving on

Could’ve worded it better with grouping the two.

Or, in this case, their own Elk,

A career ST coach who just got fired is not who you should be hiring if you've been as bad as Edmonton has. This is Rebus's Straight Fire take of the day.

I’d be all over that. Better than the retreads. imo we are in good shape for him to go to bc. Unless for some reason they are married to maksymic

So Buck to BC or are we stuck.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but would anyone be interested in Jarious Jackson as OC? He made a small chicken salad out of a lot of chicken **** this year. I’d like to see what he could do with our offence.

This is Junxion I'm sure if it was the older theatre the stuff would have been less expensive I'm talking about, but it also serves me right for getting additional food like a chicken sandwich and the cheese curds, I better resist the urge to order food when I go see Mufasa next month (just Water and Popcorn) or maybe I'm just also too greedy about earning Scene Points

Yeah he was a great find and again is a guy in that slimmer more athletic modern linemen mold that we excel with. To change topics a bit looking at other teams free agents here’s guys I’d love for us to go after. Mcinnis. If he hits cfl free agency, I’d offer him Brady money. Even if it means we’d lose lawler. Mauldin. Feel like he’d be the perfect complement to wj. Ceresna. Replace one Jake with another. Would be a terror along side our imps and Lawson. Give us a ton more ratio flexibility. Similarly betts would be a good pick up but I like ceresna much more. Mcmanis, and Pickett. Picking on the rbs and Argos here but both are modp type guys and among the best at their positions with tons of versatility. Some thing we lack on D now. Leake/grant. Prefer Leake for his offensive fit as a Swiss Army knife as well as a dangerous returning but either would be a big win. A vet back up qb with starting experience. Couture. Won’t happen, but I’d throw a bank at him if healthy. Ol has not been a shell of what it was since he left. We’ve treated Canadians and ol like they are replaceable but not done a good job of replacing them lately. haggerty (failing that, zema, or grace) replace shanky with a much better punter. Haggerty might be too old for an nfl look too. Shouldn’t be real expensive to upgrade p.

Let's hope Kyle just keeps saying this to Osh all off-season to get him to start managing the roster better...

Randolph is a good project, he was damn good at G. More legit of a T prospect. It didn’t work out well swapping Lofton and Randolph it seemed like they’d be better playing LT and rt than switching both guys spot. Randolph should be a prime candidate for a T spot even LT when Bryant retires, especially if he takes the year two step forward. But we need a guy to raise the level of competition in camp at that RT spot. When you have a bunch of prospects you tend to get the least bad of the group. When you have a good player you tend to get the best every one has to offer.

Dobson definitely needs work for sure...he's improved but not sure what his ceiling is yet and if he's at or near it.....Worst case a good depth piece

Eli is our best center option....but like @wbbfan said they seem to really like him at that 6th/jumbo/guard fill in guy who is versatile for us....and he has excelled there and is been a big part of our run success so no fault in that ...But we have just stood pat and status quo with Kolo....Why I dont know....maybe Osh liked the fact he was a 2 yr scrap heap reclamation that nobody wanted and liked his hard work ethic when he got here knowing it was his last shot...who knows but he is the weak link on the line and has affected a lot of the guards play....he's just not good enough...adequate for spot duty.....but we need better I hope we draft center specific at oline this yr.....or trade/FA pick up one....Ratio wise we can easily use an import at guard if we want and there are so many brute brawlers down south who can step right in and be a force it be an easy solution...and very SMS friendly too

My thoughts exactly - this was mostly the reason I wasn't expecting the Bombers to win the GC.

It’s been said 10,000 times and it probably won’t happen, but kola is the big problem. Every guard we’ve had has struggled next to him. Change him and what we see from the rest will improve drastically. Honestly, I’d be open to trying Dobson or Neuf at C, or going imp, or ofc Eli. The guards struggle covering and working with kola soo much. Everyone will improve with that change Wallace is gonna steal some ones job imo. If he takes half the step forward next year took this year he’s gonna be our best interior ol. We really need to bring in multiple legit imp tackles and more Canadian interior ol depth. We can’t keep hoping a former guard is gonna become the next big thing at T for us.

Definitely bring Neuf back....cant have too much experience and leadership on the oline....and he played well...was a walking wounded all yr, but when was healthy played well...better than well Dobson is a bit of mystery....got better as the yr went on and definitely still worth the time put into him....but dos still needs some work...I can see Wallace stealing his spot next yr actually. I would think 2025 will be the Big Stan final yr...so imperative we either sign his heir apparent this yr and put in Lofton's spot for now....tho Lofton as yr went on was very serviceable....and truly if ratio allows would like to find a RT to allow him...Wallace...Neuf and Randolph to battle it out for the 2 guards spots....and if an import takes a spot...work that ratio then....don't be tied to carved in stone ratio positions as it effects the roster elsewhere with not getting your best talent on the field....play your best wherever they fit. And we still have Eli and Kolo....whom I hope we move on from. Regardless of what we do in free-agency and draft....if that group is brought back we have a good starting point. We definitely tho need to construct our roster with real players outside the 24 starters....guys who can actually step in and play if need be....even tho Osh says they all number 1's anyone with half a brain knows thats utter BS...Our roster past the top 30...35 guys or so is a collection of pluggers and slugs....and shouldn't be...Change your draft philosophy toward picking best guys...and ones who project to possible starter, or at worst rotational rep guys....not just this ST only mentality we seemed to have favored.....But I guess when your GM and HC only have/had ST back grounds as coaches....maybe they don't have a keen eye for talent past that.....allow your assistants and Co-ordinators to coach em into real players

You could hear a loud groan across the world from people reading this who have testes. Hope he's okay.
