    I dont know about that. His stats were down across the board last season, and he was much more noticeable in a bad way. Hopefully im wrong. Was quietly hoping the Bombers would go out and get Sankey.

    I've said this about a hundred times. Here goes 101... His Interior DL in front of him wasn't as good at stopping the run as it was in 2021. No Stevie Richardson or Kongbo as they had departed. Jeffcoat was out for stretches this year as well. That left it up to the interior linebackers to step up into the A & B gaps themselves to stop the run. Play after play for 18 games. Just look at the injuries back there. Shore up the DL & watch our defense bounce back & play better. Biggie & everybody else.

    Not just run stopped but stove and our previous chain of nose tackles demanded double teams leaving the ends one on one. On top of that stove would still push the center back onto the qbs lap and create pressure. 
     The big loss with kongbo and hansen for most of the season is we couldn’t rotate des much at all this year. Not only was wj playing with no protection from double teams and no forcing the qb to move the pocket he played way more reps than he’s used to here.

    I am guessing this quote is from Rider Stronson?

    which MIGHT be true, but it's too early to tell yet, and also the only mistake would be the guaranteed money, because aside from that, you can cut someone at any time in football. This isn't hockey where his contract is guaranteed through the term...

    It could turn out to be true, but based on what we know factually thus far the odds of it being a mistake are very low. Especially when you look at the state of QBing around the league. If Collaros, the b2b MOP, wants a 3 year deal you would have to be absolutely idiotic not to jump on that. If you are signing players based on the worst case scenarios instead of what they have demonstrated then that could explain 4 cups in 100 years. There is absolutely no reason to believe that ZC doesn't have 3 years of high level QBing left in him.

    Agree 100%. A dominant interior DL is nearly un-schemeable

    With Zack and Osh locked up now (or hopefully close to locked up) I'm looking for at least three more years in the sun, basking in some Blue Bomber glory.  Enjoy it while it lasts fellas....

    It could last 30 years, who knows?!
