I agree it's the best talent wise we have brought in as well...Thats from seeing practices, and watching techniques and physical ability, and also what they can actually do scheme wise Pre-season games for most part are somewhat useless other than to get in game shape aerobically....Talent and smarts is evident without game action, especially when playing starts vrs scrubs...scrubs vrs scrubs....or when you have a talented guy with the scrubs...but no opportunity to show anything I made my assesment for example of Garbutt and Fox from practice last yr already....and when some you'all got to actually see them against the #1's in the pr-season....the majority were all onboard...last yr was just attack me cause I had a Osh hate...and yeah...I did and do in a few regards...roster makeup...and use of talent regardless if they inferior as he likes to play the tenure card more times than not

3 years removed now from his rebuild....is rather concerning.....Generally once ytou have been rebuilt, and rhabbed....you don't require it, or use it....so not sure what deal is there..

also didnt help when we wante to force the quick throw...knew they had to do that...and still played way off allowing the play to be made...then try ti limit it...hated that

dont like that

Less than 1/4 would be preferable...it will be almost comical tho to see Adams..FOx.. Woods being disruptive..flying around.. backside pursuit...aggressive energy...then Jake's reps..just trying to push straight ahead..not being able to get off a block then jogging up to the end of the play to glad hand and high 5 guys

I see already from snippets in practice, and the pre-season that we will be more of an attacking and aggressive defense, as opposed to the let the play come to us style we have used last several yrs, with a more give them this....to try and take away that mentality...but this yr with some of the skill-sets we kept, and the numbers of some positions we are gonna be a more take it all away style and try and exploit us style...which will serve us way better in the big picture

ahhhhh....Was not aware....too bad he wasnt a DI'd fullback...or an old fat national...they prob been all over it

who's Pokey lol

shows where the culture and the direction the team as a whole wanted to go starts right at the top....not several rungs down

what I just don't understand is, if you have the opportunity, and the ability/availability to make yourself the best you can...regardless of who it is...how long they been here...where they from.....why you wont just do it???

take the good with the bad.....wont be our best lineup, unless they give them a token "starter" tag....guess to justify the stupid salary on one of them, but rotate the snot outta them Is he brace free? going into 4 yrs now of some poor choices...deal with it with me haha

Strev

Sheed was here from start of camp....got knicked....sat on the PR and eventually replaced Lucky....he didnt put in a yr before that seasoning on the PR

yea....seems odd, but I guess they like the others more....and nice to see a team go with new blood and not lean on the "vet" reasoning to roster who may be inferior.....

U just assuming Kramdi is there...And even so...Cole took reps there last yr...I get it you think Kramdi is the bees knees...but Wilson..Gauthier...Cole trio where Gauthier is more situational and rotated in and out is far superior to Wilson in the middle...Cole at wil and Kramdi at SAM...unless averagely adequate with 2 out of position guys is your idea of ideal Peas in a pod u two thumbs upping and agreeing lol

How...Gauthier for Bigs...that's one roster move

Lol...I have more This exactly....

He's in shape and a beast...he doesn't have game wind yet....he basically jumped in with a few practices under his belt and still dominated...just wait till game 2 and three onward

There are other great rooms in the league..they just don't ballyhoo FIFO It's not uncommon whatsoever for teams to self police and internally be reason a player gets ousted...People think MOS invented and created that...far from true...he's part of it...but also man in charge of vision Miller and Walter's set forth with

Once Adam's gets in game shape I can see him rotating off the edge too...totally collapsing things...can see him with fox and another end inside ...many times WJ causing fits for oline calls...

Yup..was top 2 ..3...st guy already for us last and fact he didn't get more roster time last yr to be that much further ahead now is a shame...if we wanted to go Canadian at Safety I'd slot him there before Hallett Hope so...they should send him to the city wr playing a week in advance to partake in retirement well wishing lol Just watch when he is in...if he gets in and the difference in speed...carnage...aggressive play from whom he replaces...if it's not obvious to the casual fan then I just don't know what to say

thats all it is...and should be...nobody is above the team, and yhou put it all out there for the team and your bros's...thats been going on for decades

I'd say Schmeck is more serviceable....and that takes a lot for me to pump his tires until he proves me 100 percent otherwise. Thomas is not the future here...nor the now...and trotting him out there really is a waste of a spot, for either develping a new guy somewhere...or allowing a guy already somewhat established to really hone his game...His "vet" leadership isnt required...we have tons of vets....he's here purley on the Osh bonerisms and nothign more...he offers us nothig other than on the PR or parked on the IR for security if Schmeck...Samson and soon I think Bennett all go down with seson enders

I'm not a fan of the FIFO thing as people use it too much as the deciding factor in why a guy played...didnt...gets cut etc...etc.....As long as a guy has noi serious character flaws and issues and is doing selfish things to hurt the team then that should be it. If yhour good enough and have the talent....nuffsaid This mantra of maybe he didnt fit in in some regard that we as fans don't see....thats why....is load of crap....some guys who were cut....not utilized were soley due to coaching bias and the same ol same ol....believe it if you want...or don't....No skin off my hiney but untill you have actually been in a room as a player...coach...or otherwise....and seen all the dynamics its just running on hyberbole and going with the narrative. Been on and een many teams where at times half the team doesnt know one another from dirt, other than name and number....and are highly succesfull and have the tight room....we have a great culture and room...and been succesful for sure....but that isnt the whole reason...nor should be the deciding factor in talent

Key thing/word....Non Import depth.....On defence save for Ford none of our non import depth should be taking more than 40% snaps in a game at their position, now that Lawson is out long term....which is a shame.
