February 3, 20205 yr comment_459645 We have a ton of cap to spend, I’d be prepared to be the top offer for Willie if I’m Walters. we have to spend our cash somewhere, it may as well be on him. No top $$$ QB, no big money receiver, no first round pick to pay this year, no big money in our secondary. We have a lot of cash to throw around.

I would like us to put a bit more money in our secondary. I don't know if anyone in our stable is going to be able to jump right in a shutdown the league's best. If it meant not going hard after a big named receiver I'd be okay with that

I won't assume that he automatically will take it. Maybe the Blue offer a longer deal with more guaranteed money. I'm not assuming he's gone just yet. If I'm Walters I also remind Willie how many guys are being released by T.O. just before their bonuses are due & how much extra money he stands to make from the playoffs with us. Just some extra food for thought when he's weighing his options.

He shared his thoughts on twitter the other day when Adjei got released by Edmonton. He figures it's one of the reasons why you see more 1 year contracts.
February 4, 20205 yr comment_459659 I thought players were putting that bonus in there on purpose so they would have enough time to find a new gig with someone else.......or somesuch.......but I thought the Jan/Feb roster bonus was brought about by the players themselves...

Exactly. It forces a team to cut you before the bonus and leaves the player the chance to sign with another team before the FA money is spoken for. Bryant Mitchell is on an island
February 4, 20205 yr comment_459668 Walters can let everyone blow their load in FA, then trade for everyone's first few draft picks cheap because they don't have cash to carry them.

The important thing is we've moved on from the Lapo/#15 era. It served it's purpose but man, I couldn't have stood another season of dump offs and 3 yard passes on second and 8.
February 5, 20205 yr comment_459800 Bombers seem to be bringing in quite a few Import O-linemen. BOMBERS ADD TWO LINEMEN The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed American offensive lineman Kevin Lawrence and Jarell Broxton. Lawrence (6-4, 310, Rhode Island, January 17, 1998, Bloomfield, Conn) started all 11 games on the offensive line in his Junior year and was named to CAA Football Comissioner’s Academic Honor Roll. Lawrence started 12 games in his senior year at right tackle and helped allow just 2.17 sacks per game in his senior year. Broxton (6-3, 330, Baylor, March 23, 1993 in Olney, MD) was a two-year starter for the Bears after transferring from junior college. He was an all Big-12 first-team selection and helped the Bears to the nation’s No. 2-ranked rushing offense. He signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2016, and spent most of that season on their practice roster.
February 5, 20205 yr comment_459801 Maybe Bryant has told them this will be his last year...so they grooming the heir apparent??....though I can't see him hanging them up but ya never know...he's had a HOF career and 2 Cups

Get used to the short dump offs they are not going anywhere. Something like 85% of ZC's throws with us last year were within 5 yards of the LOS. He just took a couple more shots down the field per game than Nichols, and had more success doing so. Edited February 5, 20205 yr by GCn20

Key word tho is last year, who's to say that Buck will base his offence around that, especially with Zack showing he can make the long throws, and the fact that McGuire can stretch a field with the best of them...

Tackle is a more athletically and mentally demanding position though. We have two of the best right now, but you never know when its all over. And I wouldnt blame bryant in the least if he didnt want to play till the wheels fall off.
February 5, 20205 yr comment_459828 Pierce was never afraid to throw it up deep as a player. He isn't just going to use Lapo's playbook. He will keep things he likes, and add things that fit his mentality.
February 5, 20205 yr comment_459834 Short passes and screens are not a bad thing at all with our cast just need a few more slants instead of curls that’s all
February 5, 20205 yr comment_459835 we also don't know what parts of the "LAPO" playbook were collaborated parts of Buck's vision/ideas as well...

February 5, 20205 yr comment_459840 Hate to break it to you but the short yard passing is simply winning football. Instead of turning the ball over when a play isn’t there the team gives its best player (Harris) a chance to break a tackle or two on second and long. It may not be sexy but we’ve been one of the highest scoring teams in the league since 2016 and we’ve won a lot of games with that formula. It’s not exciting football but it’s winning football.

Other teams chewed up the field on us with quick/mid slants and we rarely ever called any plays for them.
February 5, 20205 yr comment_459844 You have to understand too, a lot of those short passes were basically schemed run plays, to have the runner attack the defense from different spots, if you go back and look at film you will see they were not plays that were last resort/panic/nobody open/lack of confidence in the QB things...routes and blocks were set-up treating it as a running play...many a time the receivers were setting up blocks or already engaged prior to Harris having the ball in his hands...that was a planned thing
