Heard the Riders just signed DT Devin Adams, we'll probably never know why the Bombers let him go.

I thought he played decent, when he played. He had a decent motor, decent speed and was powerful. I could never figure why we kept pulling him out so figured it was a ratio thing. He'll do good in Riderville

Kramdi is a good keep by the club. We might let one of Holm and Nichols go due to cost.

Meh, he was only here one year, coming over in the Great EDM Exodus Of FA25?

We must have "allowed" (read: wanted) him to leave because this is a straight lateral move -- no promotion.

Walters should steal American scout Cyril Penn back from the Ti-Cats, time for some payback.

Ah, I see what you're saying.  Ya, the CFL stats page isn't immediately useful on a per-game basis unless you do the math in your head.

I'd still say this is Kyrie's best year though because it's the first one in ages he wasn't injured.  I bet in FA25 most people thought Kyrie would be an injury liability.  Maybe a hint as to how we should be thinking about Schoen...

My main beef with the whole LB corps (and scheme) is how we didn't seem to be able to stop Oullette or Scott from plowing for 10Y+ in important games.  I'm not sure how much of that is on Kyrie.  Would we have done better if our WILL was Beverette?  Or is it scheme...

2019 was his best year. And the exciting thing about Kyrie is that we thought he was going to get better. But injuries and it never happened. Now he finally has a year where he's healthy, but it wasn't even as good as back when he was younger with more potential.

He's a fine placeholder within our defense, but he's not the impact player we were hoping we had. I imagine he returns, but hopefully some of our young prospects start to push for snaps.

I guess he was on PR to end the year?  It's not FA yet, otherwise.

They seem pleased as punch over their on their forum.  I would have thought SSK wouldn't need any new DL given how they had so many monsters last year.  I guess they are prepping for half the team to leave on big $$ FA snipes.

There's a reason MOS/Younger chose not to dress him very much.  He's not the answer, no loss.  Seemed like a nice enough guy, though.

But now we have to worry about Adams spilling the beans to SSK on our Super Duper Effective DT/DL strategy secrets!   /s

There ya go!  Now that's putting 2 & 2 together.  Gotta pay for him somehow.  Maybe more of the "advisors" will be out too.  I'm still not convinced we're not going status quo at OC, but if you were trying to get a "real" OC, things like this would be a step in that direction.

That's what I'm comparing as well. Kyrie averaged 2.7 tackles per game last season vs the almost 4 tackles per game he averaged in the 2 seasons prior.
