Step one... sign new guys for a proper OL.

I agree. When heads are swiveling around looking in the secondary their feet tend to slow down too and that's where guys get wide open. With slippery guys like we have that will be tough on opposing secondaries. Further to that, I think Demski and White are both exceptional at finding open space on broken plays, and Zach is very good at exploiting teams in that scenario as well.

All we are going to need from JT is an understanding of what defensive fronts Younger wants and for him to be able to get his DL to execute them. It's not rocket science. He will be fine. Technique is something that all the guys on the line help each other with anyway. He's not going to be the guy who reinvents our DL. He is going to be the guy who observes them and gives Younger the scoop on what they do well, and where they need improvement so that Younger can maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. By all accounts JT was a film hawk already as a player, so this should be right up his alley. He will study film hard to look for things that can be exploited on the oppositions OL and report his findings to Younger so he can put them in a position to exploit them.

For what our dline coach has to do really I guess he will be fine...With vets like Lawson..WJ and hopefully a Ceresna they dont need Thomas' tutelage..as there is nothing he could offer them...and any young guy can get things passed on by them too The x and o part will come from Younger anyway...and some from Stanley...Thomas will add nothing there...it was essentially a mercy hire that won't make or break our season...was still dumb tho...and a slap in face of any up an coming coach in the CIS ranks or NCAA who has been putting in the work

Wilson is very underrated..for now...he is actually quite fast and he is greasy as hell out there after the catch...and for a slight guy can be physical too Like I said in other post..i think Banks is that guy in waiting...and Condell will definitely know how to use a guy like that...and with main 3 guys Banks won't have to do too much right outta the gate and can evolve as yr goes on... A real center will be light yrs better and be a total game changer

Wheatfall just never showed the ability to take the next step. Flashed some potential but wasn't able to consistently be that guy

I truly think that Banks can be that guy for us and give way more than Wheatfall did...dude could be a big mismatch for dbs

I really think a proper OL is going to make a world of difference for ZC...

Unless O'Shea has had an on-the-road-to-Damascus epiphany, he is most likely to play non-pets in minor and/or losing situations so as to try to discredit them, then do an I-toldyaso riff. All passive-aggressive stuff. For some reasom, you are confusing a realistic assessment of Thomas as ineffective and an obatacke to developing younger, better players. with hatred for him. So far as I am aware, he has not eaten any puppies or beaten up any orphans, but am willing to be proven wrong in that regard.

Don't forget short of the target.

Now if Zach can re-learn how to throw a mid range ball rather then lobbing a deep ball into triple coverage...

Yeah its more than petty to keep ragging on JT.Judge him as a coach by his results rather than basing it on some vedenta

Wilson is as well. White/Wilson/Demski is going to be a nightmare for teams to cover and tackle.100% on the 50/50 guy. If we get that, our wr core will be in great shape.

Its mind boggling how virtually the same team that took the Presidents Trophy a year ago ,can tank like this. Both Arnie and Chevy need to take hard looks in the mirror.

That was a very good team against a very sloppy team. It was easy to see the difference. One of the biggest examples was time and space. Tampa gave us none and we gave them pretty much all they wanted. How they defend their zone is such a huge contrast to how we defend ours. Tampa stands up at the blue line, and the Jets retreat and allow easy entry. And compare the 6 on 5 Tampa had on the delayed penalty, to the 6 on 5 the Jets had with the empty net…. Night and day. Tampa was all over us, not giving us a chance to set up. The Jets? Shrink around the net and allow uncontested passes that eventually reach the slot for a goal, before the penalty can even be assessed. The talent level, and X’s and O’s, are one thing, but the lack of urgency and aggression is also really deflating.

Especially when we don't even know if Winnipeg had any interest in Mack. That being said I would have preferred Mack, but White is outstanding at keeping the opposing defensive backfield off balance. The cannot lose track of him and he is very good at slipping out of coverage. What he does opens other guys up as well. He and Demski are both very good at that. Now we just need a legit 50/50 guy.

I guess we should just fire JT now. Obviously he has nothing to offer. Sad, that the hate is so strong for a guy that showed up to play for us game in and game out. We may not like his usage over the past few years but now we are blaming him for it.

Where to park at PAS. The best breakfast spots in Winnipeg.

yeah was gonna say same thing haha
