Where'd you get that from?  Announced somewhere?

If so, that's almost the same to Holm.  Which is doubly shocking.

Pretty sure that's it for Houston then, unless he takes ELC+$10k.  Bonds will get offered only ELC.  Lawson probably walks or takes ELC.

Looks like we're counting on scouts to find us 2 "next D.Alfords" that can play our wacky scheme week 1!  Hang on to your hats boys!

Wasn't that hear to find.

I have no issue with Holm being the highest paid DB.  He earns it, adn has been one of our most reliable DB's, and is a good backup returner, although we haven't seen him do that in a long while.

So you think leadership doesn't matter in team sports?

Yikes.

That's a pretty inane question to ask. And it will go unanswered for that reason.

2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2023: all years in which a team with Harris on its roster didn't win a championship.

Are you saying yikes due to the glaring lack of critical thinking by you and one other poster?

That's exactly what everyone was saying. Thanks for being so sharp.

Yes, it is just a coincidence.

Teams win championships.

Andrew Harris was on the Lions... they won a Grey Cup
Left the team. No Grey Cup.

On the Bombers. ... Grey Cup

On the Argos... Grey Cup

On Sask .... Grey Cup

Just a coincidence.

Sure seems like he's doing something to push these teams to the top.

LOL.  Then you didn't watch any SSK pressers.  Oullette basically said AH pumps him up into a superhuman come game day, and clearly he taught him every trick in AH's book.  Those hurdles?  Ya, Oullette never did those before -- at least not successful ones.  Those are the AH film-study trademarks -- which you'd also know about if you watched all the AH pressers when he was here.

If you think SSK's O wasn't super-extra effective because they had a legit punish-you-badly run threat, then I don't know what to say.  And if you think AH didn't instantly make Oullette much better, then you're not paying attention.  And if you think AH wasn't a big pep man for the whole team behind the scenes...  Now it's THEY who are screaming "we got your back"!

So ya, AH is "responsible" for SSK winning games, AND winning the cup.  Even if he only tipped them over the edge just a little, it's that little bit that did it.  Did he win it all on his own?  Nah.  But he was definitely an important piece in the puzzle.  I don't think SSK wins the W in 2025 if AH doesn't join them.

Cool. But no.

I think it's fair to say Andrew Harris is a good running back coach and player motivator who may be setting himself up for a more prominent coaching career.

But really, no, on the rest of that stuff.

To illustrate this clearly for you, for both our Grey Cup wins, Kevin Bourgion was a position coach at running back and then later receiver. Great coach, but, see where I'm going here?

LOL, this is a MOS-led team.  The answer is "a lot".  MOS might select an all-LB D if it wouldn't get him fired!

The problem is little Canadian depth on offence at receiver in particular. Roster size and ratio are factors. I just can't see having 5 Canadian LB's just to play on ST's.
