Ricky Walker

Ricky Walker is becoming a pretty good DT. First season starting, 8 games, 16 DTs, 3 sacks. Hope Mr. Walters can extend him for next season. I think this guy is only going to get better.

Completely agree. He has played great this season!

I think our DL is in great shape when all healthy:
Willie - Walker - Thomas - Jeffcoat
Haba - Fox - Lawson - Bennet

27 sacks on the season or about 3.5 sacks per game is a great number to be at.

lots of worry about this group, the vets stepped up the new faces are good, nothing burger (when healthy).

Walker is a beast.

Willie, Walker, and Jeffcoat carrying most of the load. Haba was looking good before his injury. Lawson disappears every so often, needs more consistency. Jake is getting back on track. Wilson coming back is going to help this group.

Wilson was a major force last night.  Watching him and Biggie work together was amazing.  Biggie must be ecstatic having him back.

There was one play where Wilson sees where the ball is going and changes his movement direction on a dime to get after the ball.  He wasn't needed, but watching him do that was really cool.

Biggie was amazing last night.  Wilson is a top player in this league.

Doubt it. We've seen this play out how many times now?

Walker will get his 200k on the open market.

Walters will insert Fox or other back-up DT that people will complain about for half a season until..."oh wow, he looks good. I wonder if we should re-sign him?"

Repeat.

We might be able to sign him if he wants to stay but you could be right, might chase a buck.

You are 100% right about the complaint cycle lol.

Haha, maybe.  That presumes Walker turns out as good as Nevis, Stove, Sayles.  Not guaranteed.

Since when did WPG become the CFL's DT factory?  Ironic, since us fans are always moaning and complaining about the DT spot: more than any other position!!

We were spoiled when Stove was in there....he had a few great seasons with us before he left for BC.   When he was healthy he was incredible at stopping the run and bull rushing QBs.   Tough shoes to fill

We don't pay our DTs. Simple as that.

Gotta pay for Zach's contract somehow.

yep....I remember when we let Stove walk and I for one was really upset however we went on without him and still dominated.    Zach is the straw that stirs our offensive elixir and worth every penny we pay him!!
He is still the reigning MOP in the league and he put that on display against a very good defense!

[Blue In BC]

Walker is becoming a very good player. Will he chase a bigger contract in 2024, we'll see. It depends on which teams have a need and who else reaches free agency.

That's true and I agree

Generally we have preferred to be patient with our development of young guys, worked in draft picks, trusted our scouts, struck with vets and also haven't jumped on high priced free agents (for most part).  Incredible management of our players imo.  We have seen lots of faces come and go at DT and DB and we are in a good cycle of finding and developing talent while on a budget.  Hats off to our club.
