Bud Grant was like that with his veterans that won him 4 Grey Cups. He bailed in 1967 for the Vikings before the mass exodus of retirements started & left Joe Zaleski with a bare cupboard. Took the Bombers five years to get back to the playoffs under a different HC. Two types of coaches. it seems. The guys that run with the dogs that brung 'em. These coaches are loyal to their players & build a strong team culture that inspires winning. Or the coach that rules by fear. Players fear one bad performance & they may lose their jobs. They know they're all replaceable so they are motivated to play hard all the time or they're gone. Buono & Vince Lombardi were cut from the same cloth.

MOS has won 2 Grey Cups but he's not Wally Buono. He'll stick with his veterans all the way to the end. maybe Walters has to get more involved in the process. Buono cut Allen Pitts & DE Will Johnson. Two CFL All Stars & HOFers. And he cut other veterans as well. He would go into a season thinking he needed to turn over 10% of the roster minimum. Why? Get younger & cheaper.

What do I think of Crum? One game does not a career make.

Just a comment & a question & I don't know where to put it... So, I'll put it here. I don't live in Winnipeg but we've got through a third of the season & we really don't see much of Kyle Walters in the media. At least from my vantage point in Calgary. Has he gone silent? Also, absolutely no word on whether or not Walters is even negotiating a new contract or if he evens wants to be here next year. Should we be concerned?

There may not be a CFL left in 10 years. Or at the very least the CFL we recognize now.

Some here would agree.

As far as Zach being injured? Everybody is dinged up. If he can play he will.

Maybe we need to change our perspective. I pvr'd the Rider game & just saw harris go down. At least we still have Zach & as long as do we have a chance to win the Grey Cup. Hope Trevor Harris can come back from this one.

maybe injured again. Otherwise no excuse for him to be on the bench.

Was Jeffcoat on the field on that game winning run in OT?

Both units needed to do more. They didn't. So, we're arguing semantics. Piss poor effort all around. On O, on D & with coaching. Osh's ass isn't on the line. He'll decide when it's time to leave. And when he does, he'll pick & choose where he goes.

The same thing with the D. They needed one stop. They didn't get it. I see the same D I saw with Hall five years ago. Giving up huge chunks of real estate thru the air, DB's in chase mode constantly. The worst outside linebackers in the league. How we couldn't have upgraded our DT's over the off season in free agency is beyond me. We all expected it but it never happened. Should have been a slam dunk. Inexplicably, it wasn't.

I just can't see him changing. Maybe the one thing the team needs is to cut a long term veteran to send a message. But I doubt he does that. He'll sink or swim with the team he has.

He's always been that way, though. He'll take a dagger for his guys instead of throwing them.

Crum: Twenty yards passing first half. Two hundred 221 yards passing second half. Zero yards running 1st half. & 94 yards rushing in the second half. Still, we needed just one stop defensively & we'd have won. We didn't get it. Nah, defense was stellar. So, we have issues on both sides of the ball. Ottawa won their Grey Cup today.

Don't blame the defense? What adjustments did we do to take the run away? How many sacks in the second half? Over 400 yards passing in the second half by a rookie qb because of soft zone coverage. As bad as the O was, the D wasn't much better.

We also have the same issues we had with Ritchie Hall's defense in 2017 & 18. Let's blitz all game long even though it isn't working. Let's play a soft zone & let's not make any adjustments cuz we're all good Result? Being in constant chase mode in the secondary all game long. .

I nguess they wanted McCrae on full time so then why dress Agudosi?

JCon, you disagree????

Gonna take me awhile to calm down after this. One of the most monumental choke jobs I have ever seen the Bombers do. Going back many, many years.

They just let up on the gas in the second quarter & never recovered. Defense gassed.

This game just makes me sick. I don't mind losing but not to this RedBlacks team & not the way it happened. BC & Argos are laughing at us right now.

So, we **** the bed & suddenly Crumb is The Next Big Thing...

Interior DL. linebacker. Offensive line.
