yup...100 percent...and really Castillo can do all 3...and is a above average punter....Use that Global spot as a ST guy...like Karamoko.....we don't need that Aussie punter ...unless he is exceptional and a real diff maker...no point

Dolegala can throwit deep...but not with any authority...long arching soft tosses....so easy to adjust and would be a interception machine...Unless he has 3 Lawlers/Gino Lewis's and push off Rhymes to win the floater battle...same deep ball as the Faj...just that he can get it downfield a lot further was a reason he couldn't stick in the NFL with his height He also has been poorly coached and holds the ball in the pocket, and when moving around trying to move his launch point in a really poor position and will be a fumble machine as well and be strip sacked a ton

signing some of our own are huge signings....as other teams were prepared to pay a ransom for them....thats not to be understated..those were technically 2 the top free agaents on the market this yr....can't fault us that they were our own guys As @Mike said...Strev is a huuuge pick up...and dirt cheap...trust me when you see him this spring you will be amazed at his transformation....and he is huge for locker room continuity and keeping the culture chugging. As much as many liked Brown....he wasn't our future....and Strev this yr is gonna offer a ton...way more than Brown would have and yup...another huge thing is Ford back...and expect him extended at some point....he offers a ton of value and ability for us to do some different things if any other team had signed BO...Schoen and Strev for 580k...TOTAL...We would have all said they killed it in free agency....so obviouslywe must have....no?

Yeah..I kinda wondered what he was babbling about as Haba started in place of JJ and then couldn't get back on roster when JJ was back cause of a Seal

as mentioned...total inefficient roster....and games dressing Schmeckle...That one Oline guy..That Sask scrap heaped from us....when we could have dressed Murphy and Kelly all yr for work on teams, and just develop....games where guys didnt even need to have their damn cleats on as they didnt even get a token snap just for the sake of getting a rep.....shameful really for this coach who is supposed to be the elite of the elite...hope fully this narrative is finally put to bed an we never have to complain about it again...fingers crossed same...if they wanna bring in extra beef they have that Thomas guy who we double numbered all yr long as the 8th olineman...maybe thats why he was brought back hahaah

if we can get consistent active push in the middle, and a complimentary end.....and yes another one to rotate which we most likely will have now as the Seal has been removed from the situation, then I think we will be just fine up front...With Lawson at one tackle...and a rotation of likely 2 of Fox/Randall and Woods we should be very capable...and it also hinges on how we deploy and how we scheme. I have zero faith in Schmeckle....Kornelson as quality contributors, and if Bennet shows no progression...u can add him to the mix as well as capable Canadian rotation depth.....So the draft is key, and hopefully the re-signing of Kongbo to remove one of them right out of the equation...I have had to accept the fact Thomas will be rostered unless he gets hurt as thats just what Osh does....even if not the best option, so for hopefully 10 or less snaps a game he can have guys funneled into his big gut by others much like the last 2 yrs , and his vet knowledge will make him place hold while someone takes a breather.. Db's I think this yr will actually be better than last to be honest...and possibly with a bit of switch in philosophy make it even stronger yet....I curious who slots at SAM as technically we don't need to be Canadian there, so for most part at LB hard to say what we look like until camp and see whats left in Biggies tank...I am confident in Wilson.....Kramdi was adequate at best, but that doesnt do it for me....We need a playmaker/difference maker there....he is not that...and he isn't at this stage in his career morph into that unless he goes on a serious PED experiment Draft is huge this yr...especially with the picks we have...we can't pooch it....and good chance we may make a trade and acquire a piece if we are able to secure our 2 targets we want he was average at best in that role, and if u watch film/tape/tv...he biffed a lot of assignments...and was a total non factor on ST's...Osh loved the guy for what he was...key word was, and not for his football ability....and it influenced his roster decision...plain and simple... thats just also ore than solidifies the fact that Haba should have been in all yr instead of the Seal, ...all 3 together got it done...much like yrs previous when we had 3 solid DE's rotating with a 4th guy who was more than adequate

good thing for yosh the Rider jumped the gun there....probably pocketed an extra 40k in salary if Allen had signed first...classic baffoonery from Oday....

u going way off the rails here bud...nobody is dissin' his service....as to which is totally unrelated or relevant to his football foray......so you can get off the soap box there He was tho above and beyond that a totally waste of a roster spot, and served no purpose any other payer could have in his role save for a punter or kicker and a lighter receiver/db...or someone built like Holm Boy....

yup...we so screwed...what we gonna do on short yardage now....my god how did we manage before????...U will all see with whomever does it this yr how much of an idiotic waste that was last yr

to be honest our starting depth is just fine with any combo of Bryant, Eli, Dobson, Neuf and Kolo....a rookie right tackle in that group isnt gonna kill us...and quite possibly if this Vanterpool kid pans out he can be more versatile than Yosh in how we use our Tackle....won't be as experienced, but doesnt need to be coming into a vet laden room and playing next to a solid vet in Neuf

we wont move him...makes zero sense

well is gonna have to as we have nobody else unless we draft one...which seems likely now what happened with that local kid who was supposed to be in camp last yr...was academically ineligible to go to Nebraska or somewhere?...maybe he back in camp again this spring

thats what a lot of his draft review was....gets there and does damage....like a young Yosh...but faster

2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
realization that rostering him this yr....with transition would be stupid as he has no upside, and offered no value...I am sure the 2023 review look back also was glaring and a big ooops

Yeah I think Neuf and his solid presence at guard will help out whomever takes over at tackle You don't want in essence 2 changes on the line to cover 1 spot

Yeah...I don't want a Hallett long-term at safety either...kramdi at SAM over Hallett to me is like picking the tallest little person...we really don't even need to go Canadian at sam anyway...I would like to just declare 1 national on defence and use it on the Line...with Lawson ..as the main guy...but that's what makes Kongbo a key add...or another producing Canadian....via draft...FA or trade...we got 10 picks...maybe get a guy like how we landed Lawson. And we could rotate a Ford or Kramdi in at times to go 2 import DT's as well as times or a cheetah package with 3 de's and Kongbo Another thing to really allow some defensive flex is tag Biggie as your Nationalized Player and actually use him as such 29 times a game and roll all Import....Walters and Miller should tell Osh to.suck it up..out aside his dislike of the rule and use it to make us better I think it is more of reviewing the season and where things went wrong..and where we could have been better it stuck out like a sore thumb...or was a decision that came from above Osh... It truly was one of the more pointless and basically stupid decisions I have seen in all my yrs of football...that is a coach killer maneuver but Osh was shielded by past success and all the accolades heaped on him...at least this yr now we know....well I hope we can know that outside of Castillo the rest of the DA's will have a useful purpose

Walters says every yr he has no money..then out of blue someone is signed...I think it's moreso he's referring to about big name/ticket guys...and deservedly so as right now we have our fair share ..and ones who are at the top of their position in the league. So depth/role guys will come from scouting and the draft...which shouldn't be too hard with basically the same scouting and management group being together now for 10 years...and knowing some of the network we will be fine. The key is this yrs draft, and the amount of picks we obtained...and focusing on positional players who have pro potential...not just teams...you can teach teams easily and any new young guy will ball out on them...we failed in this last 5..yrs and it's almost biting our ass You have to remember last 4 yrs we haven't really had to unearth anyone as we were set...it's not like we didn't have the network to do so..we have had to basically continuously find dbs and have done very well with that. I been going over roster and there are some guys who will surprise...I actually like the group of Fox..Randall..Woods and now this Waggoner...and we have a collection of edge guys to push Haba who technically is now the incumbent. Seems like some scrambling... definitely some questions will need to be answered and a guy or 2 needs to step out of the masses...but I not to concerned
