Jokes, and the fact all coaches are a product of the management they work under aside, I think both are pretty comparable and even similar. Similar quality where dicky is a better XnO guy, and mos is a better culture guy. Similar roles in the two modern dynasty teams too. Funny thing is, I bet both teams would get better if they switched jobs right now. Both would clear out the others old boys club types, mos would insert a ton of winning culture (vs dickies whinging culture) and dicky would take control of our offence and make it significantly better. That said I wouldn’t want dicky under any circumstance. I think we’d get worse each year after this in that scenario and Calgary would get better.

I do hate the low/no contact practice too. Really devalues developmental guys after tc ends.

He is really really not a good blocker. Not even a high effort blocker. Couple times last night he jogged and half assed it costing us yards but not firsts. Wheatfall has been a full participant for a few weeks iirc. Not making the change is really foolish. Lucky is better too.

Pass rushing kind of drives me nuts. I just can’t wrap by head around this lack of desire to polish the hard pass rush skills and techniques. There are soo many options for every skill set that just require practice. If you have reasonable front size, and 1 strong pro athlete attribute and other wise average you can polish your self into a monster. You don’t need the biggest bench, best get off, or elite run/jump numbers, you need to have the head for the chess game and the work ethic/drive to not lose a single snap. The general polish of guys up here is getting worse from the early 2k era. The cfl needs to have people involved in stuff like the von miller pass rush clinic, masterminds/cool clinic, Doug Baldwin clinic etc.

100%. On the field, off the field, economically, grass roots, fan base you name it. He is one of the greatest builder hof types ever. Mos gets props as one of the best coaches ever here. But wade imo is the greatest upper brass guy ever. He isn’t the loquacious type publicly, but talking to him one on one or in a small setting he’s always been the extremely smart hang on his every word type. Every thing that guy has to say is worth soaking in. When you see smart people talk to him you really see it a lot, people hang on his every word.

Came back all like 290 lol. Looked like trent cornet now. I’d take a Jamal westerman, Gavin walls, Jackson Jeffcoat, etc. But to be honest it’d be nice if we could find the next cam wake, Brent Johnson or Joe montford. I want to see a 20 sack dominant campaign in blue n gold. A LT type impact player that the offence has to account and game plan for on every snap.

Needs to resign ford, after that we have a lot of cap pruning to do.

Tbh that sums up all stats in the cfl since the change over.

I feel like ford could be had for a reasonable price in season either way. Tre has a high floor as a strev package type of guy and could provide value in other roles with his athleticism.

Qft. Bill Walsh wrote two dynamite football books. The first is a XnO book. The second was “the score takes care of it self”, about how the 49ers turn around happened and that success starts off the field at the top. He changed the culture of how none football ops people were treated and acted and established his culture there first. Which is why even when he stepped back they still won. bobby Dyce is a bomber for life in my books. One of my favourite people in Canadian football. I don’t have particular love for ott, but I’m thrilled to see him succeeding as a hc. No surprise, and I’m ok with a bit of retribution. But you gotta get 90% of your revenge before the whistle and legally.

At some point they have to realize it goes from oday down. This is 3 different head coaches and in that era they are the most penalized, fined and suspended team with out any change.

Yeah honestly when you look at guys we decided not to pay and move on from, grant, jj, gray, brown, and the guys we clung to in Thomas, biggie, zach etc we made bad choices. If jj is in shape I’d take him back right now. Yeah, I’m not sure how much is injury, but I think not growing and developing is a big part of it. If he isn’t healthy enough he probably just won’t be able to cut it health wise. Screw Leonard. Wilcots would be worth a look. Jj if he’s up to it, even jagared davis if he is. Might be a thing of having to make a trade to find a better vet than that.

At its best both our lines played on the edge too. Especially the ol. The big difference is like mos they stayed disciplined enough not to cross the line. Honestly we badly miss having that edge. Both groups whine at the refs now when they have a complaint. Rather than taking it out on the guy across from them. I mean the crack down on cruising hits by linemen was basically directed at us. The riders always have guys crossing the line.

From what I’ve seen ol aren’t letting him get leverage. They get the punch move in earlier and deny him that tight angle rush. With out that he doesn’t really have much. Need Adam’s on, and to find another end who can consistently rush.

100% agree. Habba made some hay last year with a lean then cut, which takes advantage of his long arms and shorter stature. But his one move has been shut down and he hasn’t grown at all. Garbutt is like an imp version of Kongbo, with out the motor to get in on the back end of down field plays. He deserves more time and another camp but shouldn’t be a starter right now. We need rookies and maybe to look for a vet we can bring in. We need a lot more production on the edge opposite Willy. We really miss that guy who can bull rush tackles on any snap. Bending the pocket helps Willy a lot. I really like Adam’s, but I don’t know that he’s ready for huge volume in snaps yet and we are best off with him moving around different spots on the line. The expansion of nfl prs has really killed the air lift market for nfl cuts though.

He isn’t Marino thats for sure. I would say he’s undisciplined. Plays out of control a lot.

Yeah I mean zach has been banged up more this year than all his previous games as a bomber, and strevy too. Give me some ghetto Cody Fajardo who can run for sweet life and hit 2-3 routes.

Upper deck does catch a nice wind funnel though.

I think you’re forgetting what it looks like when you have an unknown qb lol…

100%. Wilson is fine in that usage as qb3, then have qb2 be an actual qb.

Yep and tbh I want no part of him. Wilson is no where near ready to run an offence.

Poopkup is easily the worst of all those options.

I’d take some guys for cheap. No one I’d give much for.

Wasn’t sure if hed be back for play offs or not. Agree with the rest. Think we have decent options for a qb2 Looks ready for running short yardage. Don’t expect more for passing. Qb3

I wouldn’t be mad at that. But honestly better and more realistic would be hiring a consultant to over see buck and lead an overhaul to the playbook/call. Then fire him in the off season. Khari would be one of the guys high on the list due to availability.
