Vibert might push Eli at TC. Vibert 6'3" 313, Eli 6'3" 287. He has 25 pounds on Eli. And then there's Uwuban who is 6'4" 300. First CFL TC but apparently plays a little nasty.

Yes, and time is limited for the Mafia at the top (like KW). However, no law says you can't assign some low-level underling to make those calls.  That would cost almost nothing.

However, the fact these stories are so prevalent, from many teams, means that maybe players should just understand this is how it works and not take it personally.

That's Darren Cameron's job but he doesn't pay much attention to the difficult tasks on his list.

The men's team is putting on a clinic so far. This is fun!

EDIT: didn't realize Morrissey got hurt. That isn't fun.

Didn't see the injury either. But, a nice win.

Uh... I'm 100% on board with that.  If Shay gets some D reps but we lose because of it, then that's counterproductive.

It comes down to trust in the player, the occassional rep. doesn't usually turn a game and the more reps. a young player gets the more comfortable they become.

Still in College?  Hasn't gone through a draft yet, talk about getting on the list early...

To place a player on the list, you have to drop one.  When you are adding this much of a "flyer", that means they must have had a player they have totally given up on to release from the list...  any idea who?

I rewatched the '25 GC, specifically watching Yoshi.  I'd say 80% of the Oullette runs passed by Yoshi.  IOW, Yoshi was the key run blocker.  Sometimes he'd make holes in his normal gap, sometimes he'd loop around to the A gap or the opposite A gap to plow.

My point being the RT is absolutely key to a successful run game.  Just look at how much better our run game was when Yoshi was here vs the stream of mediocres we've put there since.

Which leads to my main point that Big Stan cannot do that stuff.  He's a great pass-pro-er, period.  If Broxton can manhandle for our run game, then he is clearly the guy you put at RT.

Think of how many TDs our run game used to get (like with AH/Yoshi).  Now look at how many rushing TDs Brady had in '24 and '25... remember the chicken box??  Do we even see more than 3-4 rushing TDs by Brady @PAS all season now??

This all needs to be fixed if you want to dominate like SSK did last season.  Having a top RT is how you do it.  Maybe this whole time we should have just found a way to keep Yoshi... because now we're spending Yoshi-level money on RT anyhow! oh well.

Every Bomber on the "still unsigned" list is now open to lowball offers.

I would re-up Bonds as depth, or in case our current idea at that corner doesn't pan out.

I'd dabble in Schoen & Strev if they'll sign for cheap and NO bonus.  Can you imagine what a healthy Schoen could do for us come October??  Or his knee blows up again, but with no bonus, no risk.

I think teams just prioritize spending their time on p1ayers they want to sign and dont waste time ca11ing p1ayers that aren't in their p1ans.
