Will you be less grouchy now??? 😁

13 years of coaching

When Osh played ,what side of the ball did he play? In what universe does that make him an "offensive" mind???

Shout out to the awesome nurses at the Shoppers vaxx clinic on Osborne. I was killing time before my flight yesterday and wandered over from the Forks to get that done. The assholes over here are charging people to get it done, and the nurses at the MB clinic were really happy to see Albertans coming in to get it done. Got the flu and C19 shots at the same time... In and out in 15 mins. So thankful for my home province!

Maybe I'm optimistic but there is reason to believe that it isn't business and usual for next season. This is the first time I've heard O'Shea talk about not having done a good enough job coaching especially the offense. Both O'Shea and Walters realize that last year was a step back and that's also something they have never admitted in previous seasons. (usually all we hear is how this team has great leadership and they will figure it out) Walters stated that they needed to do a better job of surrounding Zac with talent, another indicator of change (he also talked about how it's easier to revamp your team with all the one year contracts being the norm for most teams)

Indeed!

I'm guessing about more than 4 years 5 years

I think Zach needs better protection, a strong running game & a complete revamp of the receiving corps as well as a new OC that he believes in. Give him that & he could still be very effective. I don't think his skills have eroded that far. He has to play differently as he isn't as nimble as before which means he has to get rid of the ball fast in the pocket. He's still able to move the pocket around if he has to. Some of his deep shots don't get there anymore. I still would take him over the oft injured & super chilled Dru Brown in Ottawa who doesn't seem to give a **** about anything. What a wet noodle to play for as he inspires no one. When I watch Cody Fajardo in Edmonton, he doesn't instill a lot of confidence that he can get the job done when the chips are down. He got lucky on one series in the Grey Cup in 2023. As well as Nick Arbuckle who still displays a Jekyll & Hyde mentality. You just don't know from game to game what yer gonna git from him. So, Zach is middle of the pack with Hogan & the dysfunctional offense he had last season around him.

Well, Zach's under contract for another year. What's he supposed to do? Cut him? That'll end well for us. The reality is he's going to be our guy for atleast another season, because there's nobody waiting in the wings. Hands are tied. Yes that's the fault of Walters As far as him not changing the way we do things. I could be mistaken but isn't that taken out of context? I thought he was referring to the way he communicates with players in the off season (response to Lawler and bighill) I got the overall impression changes were coming. Perhaps I've misconstrued it, or perhaps you did. Only time will tell

Our soldiers will be fighting in the Ukraine soon. In this country fishing season lasts 12 months a years. Catch & release.

What then... does Osh see in Kola & Thomas??? I think anyone who thinks Walters & Osh have suddenly found God will be very disappointed. Expect the same old, same old.

Its just a flesh wound

no one will get a shot at qb as long as zach has a pulse and a contract

I really don't see this. One of Osh's biggest strengths is seeing what the best version of a player could be. When I first saw Kramdi I wondered what he was doing on the field, but Osh saw what he could be and then he ended up fulfilling that potential.

not really the viibe i got...saying ZC earned his 600k salary...when asked about his last 2 sessons and 17 td/15 and 16 pick seasons.....said he showed glimpses...like wtf Also...we not gonna change the way we do things....thats super psoitive considering the way they been doing it has us nose diving 4 straight yrs.... Lots of deflection...excuses...non-answers really in my opinion...and we all know how Osh goes about stuff...and the "not changing the way we do things" comment...more the same Interesting part was his comment about almost heated argumwnts/yelling discussions about player type stuff....kinda confirms Osh pouts and put up a fuss when he didnt like Walters take on certain things....thats gotta change in a biiiiiiig way...He dont like it...Osh can eff off FIFO right?...

I thought Walters was pretty firm in his desire for change in the presser. A lot of acknowledgement and dissapointment. I suspect change is coming. Basically said hey this is a turning point and it's time for us to wake up

One can dare to dream............

That actually could be why he hasn't signed.

C;mon, the media is kind to Miller, Osh & Walters. You make it sound like the media was being mean to Osh. The press corps constantly throw softball questions at them with very few hard & pointed ones to answer. In the 60's, 70's & 80's the media was much harder on Lunsford, Bud Riley, Robson, Jauch & Murphy. Lunsford would get angry. His Oklahoma temper intimidated some of the media & they'd back off. Bud Riley was a very introverted & quiet man who never trusted the local media so his relationship with the Bomber press corps was tenuos at best. Jauch would just give a reporter who asked him a question he didn't like the Evil Eye & the look of death. Murphy would just laugh at the questions he didn't like or scowl at them. Sometimes both at the same time. A head coach like O'shea with 12 years experience should have no problem handling any media question. Especially from the people covering the team now. kinda hamstrung with that dumb rookie salary cap.

Collaros cant play forever, and even O’Shea with his Collaros loving tinted glasses can see he is in decline. The end is near and we have NOBODY in the pipeline other than Elgersma. He wil be given EVERY opportunity to succeed and then some. He is a blue chip prospect.

Not to mention the Mafias belief that ZC is the best QB in the league........

Given O'Shea's track record and my cynicism about him, I expect that if Elgersma does make it up here and does not kiss the ring, O'Shea will give him minimum training camp reps, trot him out in for a brief stint in pre-season games, pronounce him as "not ready" and maroon him on the bench.
