I'm happy for them, especially Young.  I think it's a good more for the Cats.  So Boo will probably be the new STC, but what position is Young taking?  DC??  No mention in the article so I'm guessing not DC?  Back to being a unit coach?

Ironic that Young left to be DC instead of staying here to be groomed, and now Younger steals the spot by being more patient ;D  ;D

Still waiting on us hiring a D coach named Youngest.

More PTSD... argh!!

Why is montreal dumping stanback? I don't get this move, he is still a force out there as seen in the grey cup. He doesn't make those key big runs they didn't win. Talk about a brutal business. I d take him in our lineup is BO signs elsewhere and he will light it up behind our O line and our offensive scheme

Apparently he asked to be released. Probably $$$.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Stanback said he was willing to take a pay cut, but it became obvious that he wasn't really a part of their ongoing plans, so he asked for release. I think they felt that Antwi could provide them much the same, and they've also signed some rookie rbs along with Fletcher. Supposedly hamilton and Saskatchewan have reached out

In the past he was a pretty inconsistent FG kicker, but it looks like he improved his accuracy to 94% last season. Even if he's classified as an Import, if Walters can cut two salaries to one, that wouldn't be the worst idea to save some cap. 

Interesting observation the longest FG made last season was 54 yds, teams are choosing to punt more often on the long-shots instead of risking the missed FG return.

Great player, when he is on the field and not in the tub... Jones will sign him.

Bede wouldn't be the worst signing... interesting that Pinball signed Hajrullahu, guessing the Nat status was a concern...  all three jobs in one Nat is good roster management.  Wonder how competitive Walters was at landing him, if at all...

Good signing, his playing style is very similar to Bailey.
