If MBT was capable of being a QB1 in the CFL, he'd be that by now.

I'd be fine with him here, but I'd rather look at the new recruits, and hope one of them is better than MBT, or even better than Zach...

Rourke is in BC. Even that.. I'd rather have Zach.  Where does this person exist? Get to work Kyle!

They seriously need to find Zach's replacement this season, or they end up re-signing him again because they have no other solutions and no QB's with CFL experience are available. In that Rasheed Bailey highlight video it's easy to see how much better Zach's mobility was a few short years ago, he looked way more fleet of foot and agile. Maybe that trend can be reversed with a drop in weight and more long distance running, I don't know, he should train with Trevor Harris.

He already runs for his life...he does enough running.  An Oline is what is needed. Kyle seems to be working on that.  Thank god. He's taken enough hits.

Is the tandem buck block itself challengeable?? This would make the refs accountable to call it and embarrass them at the same time. This play was egregeous

Seems like something the command center probably should have noticed, the game results being kind of critical.

Was never quite able to live up to expectations.

Enjoyed watching him play though.

I don't know about that, Rhymes had 3 seasons over 1000 yds which is one more than Lawler has put up in a similar time frame while being heralded as the best.  He did have a turbulent career as a negotiator, often ending up in disputes with the 3 clubs that signed him, usually leading to his premature release.  He was also central to the 2024 "Rourke Revolt" when Rick Campbell anointed Nathan Rourke the starter upon his return from the NFL, Rhymes staunchly planted himself in the camp of Vernon Adams, thus his departure from BC was arranged shortly afterwards.

wow, never saw either one of those retirements coming, I thought both were very decent recievers last year, but i guess, they know when its time...

Lamont spent most of his time at safety, where he racked up a ton of Tackles as mentioned he gives us valuable insurance at multiple positions. At only 27 he has a good amount of cfl experience if hes needed

If they do plan to move Allen to CB then he has a chance to compete for the role at safety I suppose. He is versatile, so that gives him several opportunities to make our roster in some fashion.

We added McGhee earlier that was a Redblack. I suppose it doesn't hurt to have some veteran experience in TC. Either they win a role as a starter or they create depth on the PR.

He seems to be capable of playing inside or outside but I'd peg him more as depth for our inside DB's in case of injury.

He played all over the secondary in Ottawa. He's a good guy to bring to camp and could be a valuable piece depending on injuries. I think he did his best work at half, which, if we ever got an early injury to Holm or Nichols would allow us to have someone who's played the position jump in right away. Like the signing.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking. At times we had an extra player as a DI for in game issues. I think there is only a remote chance we have a DB/CB as a DI. Vaval probably becomes that in game injury depth. We've morphed into using LB's like Griffin as a DI instead.

OTOH, I'd like to see more depth on the DL. It's going to depend on how well the rookies from last year progress. Munier-Bailey as a global might be the " extra " piece used on the DL. The catch is he takes the spot of what might have been a Canadian DL.

Our DBs sucked last year.. hopefully we improve.

Blanket statement which includes a bunch of all star level DB's, be more specific in your criticism.
