cmon man, I get that you like to gripe but you're just saying nonsense here. Let's look at some GOATs: Scotty Bowman didn't play in the NHL. Don Matthews didn't play above the college level and certainly never played Canadian rules. Bill Belichick didn't play in the NFL. Closer to home, Kevin Bourgoin was the passing game coordinator / WR coach for the absolutely lethal BC Lions offense this past year and was our WR coach in 2021 when we lapped the whole league. Yet another dude who topped out as a player in college and went into coaching straight afterwards. And his playing career was so un-noteworthy that he's got no Wikipedia page and I had to google into a local news story just to discover that he did play at one time.

And it's been said over and over again that Jake is one of the smartest guys in the room, especially the Xs and Os... Just because he can't do the thing at the same level anymore doesn't mean he can't teach things. I have high hopes for him... Starting at a lower level assistant coach position is perfect.

yeah, I remember that! Didn't that challenge cost him a record?

Because teaching isn't about having been able to do a thing, it's about imparting knowledge onto others.

Maybe just maybe Kyle Walters doesn't bring Kola back taking the decision out of MOS's hands.

….with a promise to appoint him as OLine coach in 2028 #kiddingnotkidding

I was at that Fred Reid game! He had another TD but it was called back. He got hurt and only sat out two plays - typical terrible coaching. Fred came back in and promptly reeled off a big run for a TD, Wally threw the challenge flag and yup, he had not sat out three plays so no TD. In Saskatchewan "bums in seats" is a double entendre....

AND the 'tanking continues'......pathetic

Some RB's also are very good returners / receivers. However as you pointed out a DB or WR COULD have more value as depth whether or not Vaval is lost for the season. Peterson is our depth at RB but it seems we bring in an import every TC just to have a look see.

....hey they look better THEN some of the guys we trotted out

Has Kola re-signed????

Fine with it. I’m not sure if we’re ever going to expect him to be a starter at this point but as a depth player on the o-line I’m perfectly fine with having him back. Can’t ever have too many capable Canadian OL on the roster.

I was addressing his trending and it is inevitably downwards, and he has played hurt a lot and thus not as effective for the past couple of years.

What in O'Shea's history would lead anyone to beieve that Tui is going to get a legit shot at replacing turnstile Kolankowski?

grey cup 2023?...or was it 2022...2024?....dont recall as we played injured guys who were useless in several of them....he was useless and couldn't run with any authority Not to bemoan him, and glad he's back and is key for us for sure...but he has been playing hurt alot last few yrs....and playoffs in several was basically a non-factor....I alo chalk some of that up to how he was used....and didnt help him in being healthy or at least protected somewhat...we have habit of thatr here too we need to fix, on how we use guys and basically wreck em or get then pulverized...Lucky his first time here...Grant...Demski....What happened with Schoen...the mis-use of Strev and all the punishment we made him take...hopefully we learned and address it by rostering specific kinda guys to do those things, as opposed to beating the hell out of key players

and if you're not happy with the way things ended remember, it's just a tv show

LB corpse?

Anyone surprised?

Arguably Hamilton (at least for the time being) with Taylor Powell. Similar to our situation with Zach and Dru, Powell may need to leave to get a shot at starting because BLM keeps extending his career.

Winless in 6. 2 out of 12 possible points.

He's played in 13/14 play off games with this year being the only year he wasn't in the game?

But been unable to perform in several playoffs tho...that being said we need to use him wisely and not running the ball in traffic as much...find another guy to do that....aka...be smart

Mtl had one...and dumped the Faj You could say B.C as well with Rourke before his nfl journey We did with Brown...but let him go for a guy who has been in constant decline since

I dont believe Logan was 100 percent still either..he deserves another camp..its good to have a proven returner as a backup if vaval is back..we seen the effects of none for a yr or so Makonzo showed that in his rookie yr..hes a legit talent..just unfortunate with injury so far in his early career FA this yr is one of our most important and vital we dont whiff pretty much since early in this regime Smart..solid signing Yeah...no sense at all with that choice..regardless how long he played..or how well hes liked
