Quick, name who started LT for SSK in the GC... I bet 90% here can't.  I can't without checking.

Quick, ask any CFL fan anywhere who SSK's all-star RT was... 95% will say Yoshi/Hardrick.

So maybe Mafia is onto something here.  It's not like Big Stan isn't solid at LT.  Especially if the whole crew ups their game like Neuf said they will.


The only reason I know the name of any OL on any team is if they used to be a bomber.

They had good offensive and defensive line play overall. I'd just rather have Broxton and Randolph at this point but that's just me. If anyone is going to "up their game" it's going to be the youth of line and year to year improvement. Won't be Neufeld no matter what he says.

And Stanley Bryant may still eke out another year. But it will be just that. The days of him dominating over there are done and gone two seasons ago now.

Not sure why that's super appealing to anyone. Largely, it simply comes down to how well you think he can play at 40-years-old. He took a pretty big step back last year. Not sure how it's going to look this year, but it won't look any better and that's basically guaranteed.

But Stan being par with last year is certainly "good enough".  And the beauty of it is we have a ready-made backup plan: Broxton to to LT.  Of course that would mean we need to keep Rand on PR.

As for Neuf, if he badly sucks the joint out then even the musketeers will be fine with benching him.  Then Rand can step in to RG and we should be as good or better (he proved it in '25).
