I can not believe Dobson was an all-star. Well Ottawa will see as Drew gets killed.

Ya, I here ya, I thought he was slow and got beat with speed routinely. But he was a load and hard to move so could win the 1 on 1 strength battles, but any whips or stunts by the D line, he was beat easily.

Dobson was middling for a NAT guard. Good enough, certainly. But not 2021 WPG OL quality. I think he may have been pushed in too soon.

Plus, we seem to try to turn mid / late level DPs into starting OL. It doesn't and can't always work out. Heck, even some of our early DPs don't turn out great (Gray).

I really think that our best option in terms of what we have here right now is starting Randolph at LG.

Stan - Randolph - Ko-man - Neuf - Lofton (6th/7th: Eli, Wallace)

The only other thing I can see is luring some top LG away in FA. Dunno who that might be. But I'd sure be excited if it was announced tomorrow!!

I guess Ko-man is the next weakest link, but I think we can have a great OL even if it's him at C. He improves every year and he seems to have a lot of heart and FIFO.

I don't want to even think about Stan/Neuf retiring... that's for '26+ hopefully. Worry about this season right now.

What's a FIFO?

First in first out.

I think we are more of a LIFO or a FILO team... all things being equal, which they seldom are.

FIFO is used in many different applications, mainly in inventory control. First in, first out means you are rotating stock.

In the case of employment, FILO (First in, Last out) is usually the key, seniority...

I assume you guys are kidding? Anyone who follows the WFC knows what FIFO means in the locker room. They've only been talking about it near non-stop (even MOS, once!) for how many years now?

Fit In or Fffffff Off

Ko-man definitely seems to fit in. So I wouldn't expect he gets the FO treatment anytime soon.

So much for a family atmosphere! Lol!

Yes. Partially kidding. I did expect some deletions at the top and that did happen. Teams look to replace long standing veterans as age, injuries and SMS creep up. Teams adjust from both the top and the bottom when making changes.
