I'm sure we'll be watching and waiting to see how his re-hab goes. Team doctors may have more insight to what the probabilities will look like. Hindsight is always 100% but we may have rushed him back last year resulting in re-injury.

Yes likely rushed him, it's a fine line as players have such a brief window to make cake.

From what I recall Houston wasn't mourned when he left, his risk taking led to a lot interceptions but also caused needless explosion plays when he misjudged his timing.

Wasn't it Houston that Montreal scored the game winning td on in the Grey Cup?

Just checked.... Yes it was. Philpott.


How the heck did we lose that game.

He left for a boatload of money in free agency the 1st time. We weren't going to match that offer.

You forgot Kydran Jenkins, who looked to be the best pass rusher of the 3.

He really impressed me.

This. I can't see Dequoy being in the cards.

He is retiring from ball.

Seems like Houston was just a rental to get them through a rough patch, much like Alden Darby who they brought back twice and let go twice.  Younger knew Houston well from his first go round in Wpg. and let him leave twice.

Not a huge loss in my preview. He was inconsistent.

Like to see what Ottawa offer him.

I didn't forget him but he also only played 1 game that was virtually a pre season contest. Each team was playing a bunch of PR players. That was the game against the Als when Alexander didn't play and he had 1 DT.

Sure he might be the best of the lot but sample size is next to zero.

[Currently the 2 other players on the roster that aren't rookies are Munier-Bailey and Jaworksi. Each have only played in1 game and recorded 1 DT.]

Our front 4 were not good enough and now 3 of them are gone. We didn't have a DL as a DI, we had more LB's.

3 man front may have been part of Younger's strategy. As I said he didn't have the horses the last 2 seasons to do otherwise.

Also noting that strategy gave QB's too long to throw and that was our demise. If he isn't flexible enough to adjust his strategy then he'll be out of work in 2027. Lions, Stamps and Riders all improved in 2025 while we stumbled into a crossover.

Currently the 2 other players on the roster that aren't rookies are Munier-Bailey and Jaworksi. Each have only played in1 game and recorded 1 DT.

Now either may turn out to be great players or we may see a rookie win that spot. What I don't see is a move to adding front 4 depth as a DI. That could change but for the moment the front 4 is still an issue. It's fair to believe that Ceresna and Lawson will be upgrades but depth not so much.

We no longer have Woods or Adams etc.
