Second game was great.

Darnold to the superbowl is a good story.

Just such a better game to watch.

I don't understand the need to bulk up Eli. He's extremely mobile at 287lbs 6'3". We'll see if there's any difference in the push of our OL on running plays, but I have a feeling he's going to do well there.

In the CFL What's a typical, ideal height and weight for a centre? Or is there one?

If Gauthier isn't re-signed it would be a good idea to get Shay or Smith some reps. I'd like to see that happen before it becomes a necessity if game situations allow.

You don't even need to resign Gautier to even get all three Shay, Smith, Novak some reps.

Wilson   6'1" 227  (33). 18 Games  49 DTs,  2 STs, 3 QS.
Woodbey  6'1" 234  (26).  8 Games  30 DTs,  1 ST.
Griffin  6'0" 220  (27). 13 Games  47 DTs,  8 STs, 1 QS
Ayres    6'2" 227  (27). 18 Games   4 DTs, 23 STs.

Shay     6'1" 225  (23). 18 Games          10 STs.
Smith    5'10 227  (23). 18 Games   3 DTs, 22 STs.

Shay and Smith did not play any WIL last season. So, I don't see them in the picture. I see Woodbey starting at WIL, with Ayres backing him up. 

Just because they didn't play will year 1, doesn't mean they won't get a chance I'm year two.

Robustelli would be a guy I'd bring in.  Was pretty decent in Sask last year.

I'm a fan.

I am on the fence in this one to. I thought he got smoked a few to many times last year in pass protection.
I would love he has a bounce back year but not sure this is in the cards.

This one I would love to see in Bomber Blue!

We should be giving his agent a call. If he's healthy then he's a viable choice. I doubt he remains a free agent for long.

I'm quite happy about this for a few reasons:
- Consistency
- He's still a top OL in the league
- There is never a surplus of proven LTs out there
- I'm sure he's getting paid fairly (vs an overpayment in FA)
- He's a leader of the team and ambassador of the culture to support new adds/retooling

But it is true that:
- He's about to turn 40 and obviously well past the peak of his career
- It would be nice to start finding 'the next one' to be a stalwart LT

So overall, more pros than cons with this one. Clearly the strategy (and hope) is we fix the parts that were wrong with last year, lean into the parts that were great (a few but clearly not enough), and then find a level of consistency and known-quantity for the rest, which is mostly what this signing is. With these moves, this would be the last kick at the can for Stanley, Neufeld, Collaros and a few others to get back to the show before more significant churn is mandatory simply due to attrition.
