Grey Cup 2023 pre-game

[GOLDMEMBER]

I noticed Bighill didn't have a walking boot on at today's practice. He seemed to be moving around without issue, which is a good sign.

nice to hear!

Even if he played it wouldn't be the best decision, last thing they need is a MLB with limited mobility on the field.  They'll do fine without him.

Any word on Schoen?  Honestly I think the team needs him more than Bighill.  Als have a better defence than BC IMO.

[BLUEBOMBER]

The Als beat the Argos because of their defence.. I can imagine the Als will have a stronger offensive game plan against the Bombers in the GC. Look for them to exploit where Biggie is missing. And I can imagine them trying to throw some deep balls.

Moving better then AB4, but still not working out.

As long as we don't turn the ball over, and Castillo is better then he was in the WDF, we will be good.

Is Schoen a free agent after this season?

He is.

[northof30]

He is.

Ya know I get the reasoning behind free agency but when you have one and two year contracts where so many players are changing teams every few years in an 8 or 9 team league I think that damages the image of the League. Nothing we can do about it, just sayin?.

i would prefer Rod and Duane...I consider them the A team...but here is the lineup, did Duane Ford do something to not be included?

Me too.  But Forde never gets the GC.  Suits has an ego and I think seniority and probably would never accept a contract that doesn't include him doing the GC.  Forde is better because he stands back a bit and says less, but more poignant, things.  Ridersfan forum really has a hate-on for Suits lately.  He's like what Rod Black was to us here.

Dunnigan would be good too, but would sound way to cray cray for the average joe viewer tuning in once a year just for the GC.

Keyword with Cody is trying.  There should be a prop bet on Cody completing a 30+ yarder (YAC excluded).  I'll take the negative on that bet.

You solve that one, and you'll be famous.  It's been a league problem for many years.  I still like my graduated SMS relief idea, but everyone else hates it.  Tough nut to crack.

Every year there are about 80 players that change teams in free agency. Probably another 100 are released out right from PR's and through retirements etc. Some of the previous year's PR's are re-signed by their teams for TC but not a huge number beat out the new rookies.

I agree that's not good but there don't seem to be any feasible resolutions at the moment.

Thanks for the reply.

Linebacker Kyrie Wilson has his helmet on working with the 1st-team defense today. He's been listed as DNP the last two practices with a hip problem

Nic Demski and Rasheed Bailey also in full gear today. Brendan O'Leary-Orange continues in Dalton Schoen's spot.
