Quote from: bunker on December 17, 2025, 04:46:13 PMI don't understand the enthusiasm for Eli. He's been trying to beat out Kolankowski, the worst starting centre in the league for a number of years, and has not succeeded. He's been even worse when played at guard. If you want to keep him around as a 6th O-lineman who can play centre in a pinch, fine, although I'd rather find and roster some younger Nat O-lineman with more upside.
Quote from: Tecno on December 17, 2025, 05:49:17 PMThe loyalty "problem" as it pertains to Fatboi has nothing to do with the loyalty "problem" with Schoen. Schoen is a top-3 NAT REC if fully healthy, worth gobs of money -- who is always hurt. Fatboi is a mediocre NAT DT who is never hurt.? Typo
Yes, both get helped by "loyalty", but it's in different ways. If we're loyal to Schoen and give him another shot, it's because we hope he'll be 2023 Schoen again. There's no hope Fatboi will ever be more than Fatboi (and that's ok).
QuoteI don't think there's a downside here.Oh for sure. I am th8nking the Collaros-Connell chemistry is going to lead to great things. He had a green Qb in Ottawa that threw waaay too many picks. You could tell last year Collaros wasn't happy with the play calling, that will change now
Quote from: bwiser on December 18, 2025, 09:56:02 PMColleros didn't have a great season in 2025 however I do think a lot of that had to do with the poor play of the offensive line. Oliveras numbers were down from previous years largely for the same reason.
