Yes, it's disappointing. We knew going into TC that our DL was an issue. IMO we failed in finding players that will stick in 2025 as starters. Maybe as roster changes in free agency occur, we find some SMS money to improve the DL. That said, it's not where we normally spend our big SMS money.

It will be interesting to see if Younger sticks with the 3-man rush concept next year or reverts to a more conventional approach and bring in numerous ferocious pass rushers.  Funny they haven't given a 3-4 defence much consideration this season, which is the surprise method of improving the pass rush. With a plethora of good LB  types on the team, that would be an interesting concept to explore.

Yeah, we've just been rotating through guys for this entire run. It's Willie and was Jeffcoat and no one else has been able to stick.

I have 100% faith in Walters and the entire scouting staff.  We have weathered 5 years of being at the top, losing players to the NFL or other teams, or to injury, and yet, we are Grey Cup favourites yet again.

Salary cap, losing top players to injury, and we find gems.

Coaches that excel have stuck around, as have core players that might have gotten more elsewhere.

The opportunity for the word dynasty happens far infrequently, but when it happens, it happens from the top down.  Wise choices in drafting, in FA signings and especially in scouting don't happen by accident.  Well, sometimes a happy accident happens, but most often, there is a reason good players happen.

Garbutt?

He hasn't done too much in-season, but man did Garbutt look great in the WDF.  He had some crazy speed and power and was doing some great block-shedding from hoggies to tackle the RBs!!  I was very impressed.  If he keeps that up he could be a keeper... and he's a NAT?  Awesome.

Garbutt is not a national (born in Virginia and played his college ball at Virginia Tech) but he did have a pretty good game on Saturday.

I think Fox has turned out to be OK as a DT, and if my eyes are still working I think he put in some work on the Jumbo team for short yardage, too.
