I don't get that from him to be honest... when he's had to play rookies before it's been no problem. With Osh it's more of a "once you have secured your spot you don't lose it" kind of thing.

Is this guy going to be kind of a Jonathon Kongbo type player?

My all time favorite playoff defense was our 1990 team with Greg Battle, James West, Tyrone Jones and Albert Williams at LB. Tracy Ham and the Edmonton offense didn't want to leave the sidelines. Beautiful to watch.

The Dynacare app no longer allows for booking. Have to hit up your browser for that.

And Gene is 100. Wasnt a big Rex fan although i do remember him giving Star Trek 5 a thumbs up cause he had no idea what it was about

They essentially broke Dane Evans.

This is what concerns me about all the new bodies coming in. I think that if these have been forced onto O'Shea, he will go onto passive- aggressive mode and and put them out in situations where they will have little chance of showing well. Then he can smirk and go into "ahtodeso" routine.

That 2019 playoff defense was just scary good. As dominant a D as I think we've seen. Hamilton was a pretty damned good offense that season and the Bombers D made them soil themselves.

I agree. Zach did an awesome job considering he was thrown straight into the fire with us, and deserves kudos for making up for his lack of time in our system with some clutch throws down the stretch, but Nichols was firing on all cylinders that year and had he not gotten injured, and our defence plays like it did in the playoffs we win the Grey Cup...no doubt in my mind. I feel for Nichols in that regard, and that is why I actually wanted us to cut bait on Collaros and bring back Nichols. (I had no idea is shoulder was mush). Was going to say that he wasn't the game manager people thought. We led the league in explosion plays both of his last two seasons with us. This notion that he was a game manager stems directly from him having Andrew Freaking Harris balling out and getting 25 touches a game. If that is "game management" or Lapo small ball sign me up for more. Maybe our biggest flaw last year was that we went away from feeding our stud running back the rock 20 times a game (altho in fairness BO was obviously not playing 100% healthy all season).

Sounds like the Broncos were not ready to sign him after their mini camp but he is still on their radar

Nichols was dealing in 2019...had he not got hurt I have xero doubt we don't win the Cup, especially with the defence we had. He was turned into a game Manager by Lapo and his penchant for everything flowing through Harris, but if you look back on things as soon as Nichols got his opportunity and saved Osh/Walter's bacon our offence almost immediately got a vertical game and pushed the ball well into the intermediate zone...which we rarely did up until then...What happened with Lapo and his super safe game plan was puxxling, but when he need to..Nichols could push the ball down field If he played in the Grey Cup all he needed to do was manage the game and we win, and he always showed up in playoffs. Strev threw the TD pass in the 2019 Cup...Harris and the oline controlled the l.o.s and the Defense had Hamilton offence backpeddling and in fear all game...ZC gets all the accolades but all he did was be a game manager

Look the reality is that the more time a qb spends with Paul lapolice the more they become only a game manager and get their ass kicked in the process.

It did turn the QBing around for sure. Look at Nichols record and stats in 2019 before going down, he was in MOP discussion at that point.

Shawn Lemon. We may have been able to win in 2019 with Nichols but who knows. That one sack completely turned the franchise around.

Not his last game - that was in 2018 after getting smoked by Ottawa. He tried spinning it by saying it was a heat of the moment thing and that he was over it 10 minutes later & also said it wasn't the first time and wouldn't be the last time he got booed, .but yeah he definitely cared. 2019 was the game manager thing, with the hats, so by that point he was definitely leaning more into it than the year before. He had the club winning while not looking spectacular - a winning record goes a long way to help lessen the impact of criticism!

Yeah, he got injured in 2019, hence bringing in Zach and re-signing him as opposed to Nichols.

Yeah but i think the last game he played with us he got sacked ( DE landed full on him from the side) and that was the final straw for him..

His arm wasn't shot until he went to Ottawa. He could still make all the throws in 2019 when he last played for us.

He was a game manager when his arm was shot in his last few years with the club. Purely because he was unable to throw a 15+ yard pass. His first two years with us he was a gunslinger and was able to take chances. Truly unfortunate that his injuries derailed him.
