State of the roster

I wonder if we see Collaros get more leash under this new tandem. He's certainly capable considering how well he sees the field.

In what way could he have more leash?

Getting to call audibles on the field and using the hard count are the two immediate examples that jump out for me.

I just don't think there's anything that Zach could do that he wouldn't already be able to do if he wanted.

Riders just signed Sean Mcewan ,would have liked to sign him here
But it seems like we cant/won't outbid anyone for potential starters

We could go after Chungh, that would be an nice upgrade from Dobson.

Agree, I think Zach had free reign to do whatever he wanted with Buck and won't be shy to tell Hogan exactly what he prefers, as it's his offence. His favourite play is throwing a 40 yd pass in 2nd and 6 situations that goes for a quick TD. Easy peasy, shoot the moon.

A guy that's flying under the radar is Marvin Pierre 6'1" 221 LB out of Kent State. This guy has a noise for the ball and has excellent closing speed.

Is he still an upgrade or are we imagining a player that doesn't exist anymore?

Sukh will only be 33 this season. He has only missed 3 games in the past 3 years. I think the Bombers would be a nice fit for him.

He was here originally, but elected to leave, we want people who WANT to be here, pass on Chung.

Chungh played college ball in Cgy. at the U of C, could see him signing with the Stamps if they want him.

Chung left for home province and big paycheck, doesn't mean he wouldn't be an asset. The fitting in thing is beginning to be an excuse

I don't hold any grudges against Chungh coming back, heck he's just human, he wants to make the most money in his limited playing time. My dream FA ask would have been McEwen at Centre and Chungh at LG, McEwen is gone, I am hoping we can land a Chungh type calibre guard to come in and solidify things up in the middle on our OL

He was one of the league top-3 OGs when he left, IMHO. Now he might not be a top-5. Probably top-10 though, and thus a good pick-up if he doesn't break the bank. Getting Desjar back would be more impactful, though!

If we have the ratio room, just go with Randolph at OG, and pocket the massive savings!!
