Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Osh worries about players privacy & refuses to be honest about any player's injury status. Then makes it a game for the media to get any info. Yet doesn't seem to worry about playing them when injured. Makes no sense to me.

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Osh says he cares about his players & doesn't like to talk about injuries or make them public. Yet, there he is playing an injured Dalton Schoen with a bad ankle in the 2023 Grey Cup & this season twice after he re-injured his knee. For a head coach so worried about his players health, why are injured players sin the lineup? It's amazing how often this has happened. Look at that 2023 Grey Cup. If he truly cared about his players health he never would have played them, yet he did. Injured players like Jackson Jeffcoat, Zach Collaros, Biggie, Kyrie Wilson & Rasheed Bailey. If he cared so much then why did they play? Sometimes I think the reason Osh is so secretive with player injuries is so he can play these players with no one actually knowing just how badly injured they are. Back in the day, teams would release actual injury reports. If a player had a knee injury, they'd actually say what the injury was & how long they'll be out. I don;t believe that type of information was detrimental to any player. Why should that be so secretive & why would a player feel his privacy has been violated? These players are public figures. They should realize that injuries are news & fans want to know how long players will be out. If they're injured, then tell us th truth. Don't play a stupid song & dance routine with the media & fans. Don't hide behind some bullshit excuse that no one needs to know what the actual injuries are or recovery time. These type of things shouldn't be a secret. Dalton Schoen re-injured his knee in Calgary then tried to gut it out in Regina only to reinjure his knee again is a prime example of that. How can a head coach claiming to be concerned with his player's health turn around & play Schoen with such a severe knee injury like he has??

Who was the OC when they were tearing up the league.

He's named Walters. The second Arbuckle falters, Dinwiddie will bench him.

Zach will make the decision to retire. Not MIlt or social media.

That's a huge blow for the Stamps. Will he go into the HOF as a Bomber or Lion?

This is pro football. If they don't show anything then they should be gone. You give them a few games, yes but that's it. Sink or swim. Find the next guy. Walters needs to walk the plank. I'm willing to give Osh another year but this season is Walters doing.

The biggest issue to me are both lines. Offensively, It's time for Stan to call it a career. Unless his play is as good or better than someone 10 years younger than he is he needs to retire. There's no way a Tackle approaching 40 can play as well as he did when he was 30. Kolo is a liability at Center. The next guy who can go. He can still be on the roster but as a depth player but not as a starter. He should be chained to the bench with a lock & key & someone drops his helmet in the Red River. Certainly, we know that there are veteran Centers out there available in free agency & we have to sign one of them. I think Neuf can still play but I'm on the fence with him. As has been said, he's one helluva tough player & we need that kind of nastiness out of our guys on the OL. Defensively, we have wasted Willie Jefferson over the past 3 years with the shitty Canadians that play beside him like Thomas. We've neutered what greatness he may have had early in his career with the Bombers when Nevis, Stove & Kongbo caused interior chaos on opposing OL's. Now, it may not be worth it anymore to keep him because of his age & salary after this season. What a bloody waste. The Bombers are the only team I know who deliberately weakened themselves defensively by never replacing someone like Stove, Nevis & Kongbo. Vaughters the same as he gets no help either. It's hard to criticize Vaughters & Jefferson when they have such dreadful Tackles beside them whether it's a 3 or 4 man front. Improve the DL & watch the linebackers & secondary flourish once more. And we'll shave at least 100 points off of our points against.

I dunno. Some teams run an offense where there isn't a lot of hot routes & sight adjustments. I do know the receivers & qbs have to be on the same page when it comes to recognizing coverages & what routes will be run so the ball can be placed where it's supposed to be. It could also be communication or the type of offense Hogan runs.
-
Banjo Bowl GDT
Hot routes aren't designed to be thrown over the middle. Although they can be. They are all quick passes designed to exploit a defense who blitzes & vacates a space. The receiver would catch a pass when the defender blitzes & leaves said space.

So is just about every football player in the CFL, UFL & NFL where one hit could be career ending.

He was a shitty choice. What's your point? I'm pretty confident that if the team keeps losing at least one or both of the GM & HC will be gone because the team can't go back to the fanbase giving Walters & Osh new contracts. It doesn't matter who we think could be candidates because we won't choose them. So, you can be pissed off demanding we say who should be candidates but no one cares. We can speculate but ulltimately have no say in who gets hired. .

Yes, based on 3 consecutive GC lossess with the decisions Osh made on game day personnel & playing injured players. Yes, we were EXTREMELY lucky to win 2.

Ken Dryden playing for Canada's National Team in 1969. Two years before he starred with the Canadiens from 1971-78. Number 5 is Defenseman Bob Murdoch.

Nothing gonna change until Osh is gone. Which hopefully means next year.

At least. Changes need to be made on both lines. We need to upgrade our receiving corps. If there are any free agent qbs out there we need to try to sign one or two of them.

Of course you're not interested. You've been singing the praises of the Canadian Mafia for 12 years. Despite decisions that negatively affected the team by both Waters & O'Shea the past 3 years. Looks like they weren't as good as we thought & just extremely lucky in 2019 & 2021 when all the pieces fell into place Twelve years. Time for a change. I'd like to see how Jefferson with just a competent DT beside him before he's released. And in a four man front... with 2 competent DT's.

Banjo Bowl GDT
Okay, I see. Yeah, I'd like to see how he plays outside of short yardage just to see what we have.

Saying that Wilson brings nothing to the team may be the most daft statement I've read here this season.
-
Banjo Bowl GDT
We should have kep the ball on the ground. Just feed Brady. If we don't get a first down we punt it away so the Riders have a long field to work with. That was a Hogan call. It was dumb. Hogan had already gave up on the running game.

Banjo Bowl GDT
So, even though the Americans are bad as you say we replace them with a Canadian who is worse.

Banjo Bowl GDT
No, it's a trend. The HC plays favourites. Better players sit in favour of guys who aren't as good. Again, I'll bring up Thomas. he's useless & does virtually nothing every game. meanwhile, a player who barely got on the field & played behind Thomas in Miles Fox was a force today for the Cats at DT. Yet when he was here he backed up Thomas. This has happened way too much.
-
Banjo Bowl GDT
Thomas is in the Top 10 worst. he shouldn't be here. He should retire or be cut. he did nothing today except bull rush all game, penterate maybe 3 yards before getting stood up & stopped. That's all he does. Thomas brings nothing to our D. He doesn't sound like he's laughing to me.
