Was also a perfect bounce on the kick. Worst thing Bombers are doing is using Vaval as full time DB and returner. Put Echols on for Mitchell if Mitchell can’t return.

Bottom line, oshea has lost the edge he had prior. Too much complacency with this team coach included.

If Jake went up, we would have to put about 100 other guys up. Tyrone jones announced just this year, no guy like jake is ever getting to the ring. Nuef isn't going to get a shot, and he would be far more worthy. Zach, wj, bryant and if brady keeps it up for a few more years he goes up.

hey i just know there are a few with their fingers ready to pounce with posts after we win. Always good fun.

goes along with the narrative we been out coached badly a lot of times....and we ourselves never do anything outside the norm tocatch a team Same withthe no end penalty...too many men...a coaching staff on the ball would see that and call a tiemeout, but alas

There are LOT of things O'Shea et al should be able to foresee. But.....

win just glosses over the issues, and makes the ineptness just continue that much longer...we've been etting weaker and weaker and less deep as the last 4 yrs have ticked by...we had some wins.....sure in reg season...but when rubber met road....we got beat....and for the same 3..4 reasons....and it's manifesting again cause he either full of crap...or just perpetuating Osh's b.s to justify his choice...Thats why B

Changing the topic, but I haven't seen much acknowledgement of how smart it was of Sask to do the "quick kick" on third down near the end of the game last week. The Bombers did not at ALL see it coming... we should have been better prepared. I would generally think O'Shea would be able to anticipate such a thing, even though it was really quite out of the blue.

I find it weird we’re going after Tait for what he said. Who the 21st Canadian is doesn’t really matter. I would dress Cobb, but It’s the use of Di’s that’s the problem.

and in all honesty...we could have replaced him easily in his "prime" yrs with a better option too Guy has had as about a pedestrian and non-descript career as one could have

Even if we win it doesn't change the fact that the defensive line they're messing is bullshit and the roster usage is sub par. They've won a lot last few years and people still complain they do it on hard mode with the roster usage.

generally I think we should win most games....just cant confidently say that ....part of it is I think we will be outmatched on the coaching/scheme side of things once again

For what? Playing a lot of years? Guy has never been exceptional. In his prime he was a depth piece.... that he's been trotted out like some superstar in his twilight years doesn't change that.

c’mon @Booch say it with me: not if, when we win. You can do it, find your centre. Namaste. (Insert Booch throat punching HardCoreBlue gif)

then a guy like Gauthier outta go up too then...played forever but has actually had impactful play over his career and instances where if not for him...we'd have been toast Jake should never get on for hanging around 5 yrs past usefuness...and even during his usefulness...never piled up the stats and was a game changing player by any means

Bailey...Woods...Adams...all have played on ST in kick coverage, and on Kick returns....we could have net ratio in a multitude of ways This is just another prime example of making excuses for a Smug bias'ed HC who has a real poor ability to maximize his roster....and I have serious doubts in his ability to evaluate talent And it's not bold...it's plain stupid and bordering now on amateur hourish now.... ha! yeah...if we win...and I feel it gonna be a big if...it wont be because of this roster...will be in spite of it...and likely cause the offence has the odd game of where they go off and just control things More lipstick on a pig tovalidate going status quo...only to be exposed when it matters...again

Just to get ahead of this when we win this weekend it will not negate any (most) of this current conversation on our roster management. 🙂

so full of crap...could have left Cobb on...Bailey as an extra Global could have came on...Vibert could have been dressed on lieu of Vpool who has been injured, and used that spot Adams or Woods....As much as we use Ayers...or actually dont use...could have dropped him and had BOTH Adams and Woods on. Woodney has effectively taken over any role he would have had on defense Korn was no good before...and has been inactive for 3 weeks now?...and immediately on...effectively making our dline weaker this weak...and it was a sore spot last...Good Job And yeah...why sign Houston to not use him....I still believe too Echols would give us more than Mitchel does...tho we seem to avoid him too yes...you can use an extra global as that spot...Vibert and or Cobb would have served more use than a gy cut for..well sucking he will defend Osh at all costs...Osh clearly is an issue and does what he wants...not whats best Again poor use of roster....and I expect a loss as i cant see that front doing any damage unless Korn and Thomas are on soley as injury replacement and aren't used Can't wait for us to move on from this HC...still on fence with G.M....but man what a joke

Prefacing this with I have limited knowledge when it comes to accurately assessing our scouting department when it comes to our Dline but some saying JT is the best we have continually fascinates me. Your last sentence gets me thinking, how many players on the Bombers ring of honor continued to play well past their prime?

I am throwing my hat into the ring, that this d-line looks bad.....I get it we need to meet roster requirements......and I get it special teams' coverage is important....... But....the reality is we are razor thin on Canadians, so much so that it is affecting our overall roster talent....we no longer have the luxury of deep Canadian depth, that can play at a high level.....in saying that something has to be "less than ideal" this week, we apparently chose that to be the d-line....it's bold but I firmly stand on the hill of probably not the best way to manipulate the roster.......Do we really need so many LB's......If one Imp. LB comes off, we can roster a better D-line.....A better D-line vs. less support on special teams....Is Vibert good enough to be a 7th O-lineman, is so Vanterpool comes off Vibert goes on, this balances the ratio requirements so Korn can go off and an import D-line can go on.......I am not privy to what goes on behind closed doors, but to me I see either of those moves as being "better" roster management....... Let's hope Korn, plays with a burning fire to prove cutting him was wrong and elevates his game beyond his ceiling this week......but boy I do question the roster this week......

You can go 20 Canadians and 2 Global or 21 Canadians and 1 Global

He likely thinks he can still go and that hes doing what is asked of him. He probably thinks he is just 1 guy on the team. Likely a leader in the room due to his amount of time spent in the league now and only with us. Prob hears or sees the criticism but has probably also hesrd that for a long time. sad but likely true….. one day, Jake Thomas will go in the bombers ring of honor.

Yes. Also has mackonzo on there again. He’s likely done before he played a game. Don’t need 9 Canadian starters either.

Does Bailey count as Canadian? I agree there are. Tait’s point was we needed a 21st Canadian. Options are thin for that.
