I thought Corcoran looked good towards the end of the season. Made some tough catches in crowded spots.

Get the ball out quick and you help your oline a ton. You keep your old and injury prone QB's jersey clean. This is a system we need to make work here. Lapo with Nichols in 2017 got 70%, 4472 yards, 28 tds, 8 ints out of the QB position.

Quote from: Pigskin on November 17, 2025, 10:53:33 PMNyquist has been a disappointment. I am surprised that's all we could get for $3.2M.

Agreed. Nyquist certainly isn't earning his keep thus far. He doesn't even have a goal yet.

Really strange that the concourse, bathroom lines etc were so much different for the Grey Cup than a Bomber game.  I was sitting very close to my season tickets and was surprised how different it was.

Strangely enough, the 1 group that did show was the newest not-as-big-fans group.  Weird!


Had most of ours around us.

Quote from: Sir Blue and Gold on November 17, 2025, 07:59:37 PMYes. All the initial research by Probe (with the oversample of Manitoba) essentially showed what I described and once again it was also touched on by the commissioner. Go watch the Q&A period if you don't believe me. It's there if you care to look. Obviously "Americanizing" is viewed negatively. Moving the goal posts or shortening the field was much more mixed and in some cases positive It's all in how you ask the question and if you take the emotion out of it it's a much more nuanced conversation.

A link would help...

Totally knew it.  1 year for MOS wouldn't make any sense.  You can't do squat in 1 year, even if it's an extension.  And it's virtually unheard of in the CFL anyhow.

I hope MOS/KW really take a look at their personnel failures in '25 and come up with a solution.  I also hope that they work with Hogan/Jarious to try to come up with a planned identity for the O.  Go to my "OL, not REC" idea, or come up with something else -- anything else.  What is clear is the teams that plan an identity/scheme when doing the player hiring will fare better than the one-size-fits-all approach.

In other words, I don't think its a "puzzle piece" approach this year, I think it's a "rethink the entire O" situation.  And this makes it different from every FA since '19.
