    Fun to sit and watch practice today... Been about 20 years since I was last able. With respect to the late great Randy Turner, the king of Odds and Sods writing.... here's some thoughts: -Al

  • Just to speak to Wolitarsky’s character and just what a good dude he is … few years back, some friends and I went to go see him play at Earl’s on Main and we ended up chatting with him and Streveler …

    Really easy to always say that there's some mystical coach out there that would be a better fit.  We've been through generations as CFL fans watching teams including our own who keep believing that.

Not my first choice with his injury history but he'd be interesting as a 3rd QB/Mentor.

I don’t think he’s injury prone, far less than zach. He just had one freak injury and one dirty shot. 
 
I do think a lot of the value in him is as a guy to help groom the young guys and as a future coach. But I also think a healthy masoli off the bench gives us an excellent chance to win if zach goes down.

I’m guessing we’ll roll with what we have at qb.

Strev is a FA and hasn’t been resigned. If he doesn’t come back I think we add another guy.

Have we given up on re-signing Dobsen?

Hes wanting to see the fa market.

Arbuckle, Shiltz, Cameron Duke...any could be a better option than Masoli or sticking with Dolegala.

Duke and arbuckle aren’t worth a hill of beans. Masoli gives us way more. Though duke is atleast maybe worth developing. Dole doesn’t offer us more than much of any one though.

If he not healthy...whoever we sign or bring in not named Lawler will give us a weak group...ZC doesn't flourish in a weak group

Zac doesn't flourish under an average oline either, if we can't sign Lawler at a reasonable amount that's where we need to upgrade.

Last year the coaches didn't seem to have any confidence in the olines ability to run against a good dline ie the argos, and Zac was playing nervous because neither did he.

Ill also pose the question of who would have more impact on winning Ceresna or Lawler .?

DL and OL. That’s where the potential free agent signing or interest needs to be. There isn’t much out there OL wise tho. Going 3 Americans on the Oline prob might not be a bad idea.

There’s a ton out there OL wise, it’s probably the deepest position in FA. Lots of directions you can go, too. Patch up a spot for a year? Sure, sign a guy like Foucault or Gagnon or Boyko. Hope for a bounce back from a player who still has some prime years left? Go for McEwen or Beard if the price is right. Have an idea that you can take a younger guy and mold him into what you want? Go after McKellar, Richards or Hogan-Saindon.

there are a ton of options at OL

QB Bryan Scott is also available, I don't know if they determined he was inadequate last year when he bounced back and forth between the Argos and Bombers late in the season.

Seemed like he didn’t make the grade. Could probably do worse than bringing him back but at that point I’d just go with a rookie who has upside.

I'm not sure that any of those options are obviously better than Dolegala. 

You wouldn't rather Cameron Dukes?

Hoping we retain Scott.

Seriously? Isn’t this like saying I know you are but what am i? They are rubber and we are glue. Jesus some of you need a mental health break. 

That comment wasn't aimed at you in particular, However, since you brought it up... You're opinionated more than a lot of people here.  I know that I am as well. However, I don't have any particular grievance with you nor do I disagree a lot with what you say. I probably agree with you 75% of the time, maybe more. There are 3 camps here. The ones that support Osh & the ones that don't. Then there are the ones who seem neutral. We're in opposite camps, that's all. 

BTW, I don't want Osh fired. My complaint is the way he handles personnel mostly.

I like McKellar.  I think he still has a lot of upside.

Otherwise that's just a pile of guys.  Some way over the hill, and we probably already have more than enough of that on OL, some who have never been good CFL players.

Personally I would have planned on going 3 Americans on the OL both for ease of competition for spots, running the OL a bit cheaper and allowing depth.  I'd feel a lot better about 3 Americans then 4-5 Canadians filling out the other 3 spots.

We'll have to see what's to come but we've kind of ****** ourselves for Canadian receiver/RB depth.
