Jake just has to be better than 1 Canadian really. He’s not really competing with the kids brought in from the ncaa. Jake is Canadian right so you can’t really make the comparison. Jake is competing with a couple other Canadians. Yeah ideally he’s not rostered but at the same time, perhaps at the end of the day the intangibles he brings maybe in the room outweighs the ability of the bottom of the barrel Canadians every team dresses on their roster. Compare Jake to other teams Canadians and it’s not as bad if you don’t look at him as a starter which he shouldn’t be. There’s a spot for a good room guy who gets limited reps. Jake’s problem is he is played like a starter. If he was treated and used like the last Canadian on the roster really, not so bad.

Fair, great vision thank you love me some MOS but much more complex in terms of how that vision translates into behaviours, actions, decisions, reality. To defend @Booch at bit here, whom btw I don't agree on everything he posts here (love you brother), I don't think he has ever said drop players as soon as better talent arrives on the scene, not caring about creating order, discipline, continuity, or peaceful camaraderie. You present this in an very extreme black and white manner. There's lots of grey here and room for varying interpretation in how said vision is achieve. In fact, I don't think many of us here on Morning Big Blue think like this extreme or, as you say, emulate wanting Chris Jones way of doing business here in Bomberland. I know you and some others get tired of hearing names like Jake Thomas come up over and over again but as long as decisions are being made to keep putting players like him (I love what JT has done for us) on the field, reality tells us it is not to the betterment of the team and does not correlate well with certain parts of said vision.

Like Andrew Harris?

Lots of the players people hype on here end up being cut then never heard from ever again. Part of me feels ppl hype up guys cuz then when they get cut they can complain about that or keeping Canadians instead perhaps ignoring the ratio. It’s like got rid of “insert random ncaa guy who had a good year in college one time” but kept Jake. Eventho they weren’t competing for the same spot but alas it’s the internet. Welcome to the internet. I’ve been to 1 practice the last 2 years now. Unless peeps make daily visits to camp it’s all just nonsense really. Or know what the coaches are actually looking for.

RIP...Naaaawm.

My point is Thompson is really just owner in name only. He really has no say and rarely to never show up. Your original post was shitting on a guy who prob doesn’t know there was a game 6.

I was told on these boards 1000 times that Wally Buono could do no wrong because he would cut a declining vet before his expired date.

when the seasons on

RIP, my King...

Booch clearly focused on his off season training.

His vision of how a team should perform and behave, the fact he embraced a Navy Seal on principal should be an indication of the character he prizes in individuals, he wants unselfish players that will make sacrifices for the betterment of the team.

Whens the on season thread starting?

Case is not a rookie and showed little last year. As a sophomore, he ought to be well ahead of anyone else competing for the job, or he is not a keeper.

What does this mean exactly?

And Jones is working for Bill Belichick at the University of North Carolina.

I'd say it's more like Joe Mack. Mack brought in all sorts of athletes and expected the coaches to make em football players.

Hang time and placement can go together, no?

Jets’ inconsistency crushed them during playoff run

Particularly liked that little Choquette kid...Ripped off a nice td run and he can also catch in traffic...Only preseason but we should keep an eye on that guy for sure.....

Rick is back in Ottawa starting over as their STC.

I am thinking the problems last year were more related to the rest of the unit more than the returners.

Booch is in mid-season form. Vets don't need a training camp i guess.

The Stamps had 3 new kick returners in the game yesterday who looked deadly dangerous, Horton, Vaughn and Choquette, all small stature speedsters who might not make it as receivers, but they could make their mark in the CFL as returners if nothing else. They can't keep them all, grab one upon release and stash him on the PR to backup Logan who is frequently enough injured.
