George Allen used to say the same thing. He did not like rookies.

As someone said, his health is a concern. He just had a diabetic reaction that was quite serious. Now he has to make adjustments in reaction to that disease which can be very difficult. A coach's life is stressful enough without having to deal with that as well.

I'm not sold on Claybrooks. Yes, he has a great defense in Calgary but he's been blesses having great players to coach & who know the system. I also think he isn't experienced enough. is this his third year as a DC? The guy I like is Orlando Steinhauer. A successful DC (in the past) who knows the league as a player & a coach. Coached as a DC in the NCAA & did well in the only year he did in 2017. He was ready 3 years ago to be a CFL HC & I'd love to see him here. I think his upside is far higher than O'Shea.

Cop out, bro. You don't like the discussion or want us to talk about it..

It's just a discussion thread so relax.

I think O'Shea has reached his own level of incompetence. It's called the Peter Principle. He brought the team up to the level it was at last season & now they're falling back. I believe from what I'veseen that he is absolutely incapable of delivering us a West Division Championship let alone a Grey Cup victory. Another head coach will have to do it. At the end of the season he will have had 5 complete seasons to get things done. If the Bombers continue their tailspin then he doesn't deserve to come back next year.

"Look at me, I'm a Rider fan!!"

With the shape of the ball a one handed attempt that gets tipped is worse than not attempting the catch at all. The ball is coming in hard & fast so why would Washington even think he could catch it with 1 hand? Not a smart play. Again, it comes down to receiver basics. Doing it while cutting over the middle with defenders all around is trouble.

Kids don't play anything anymore. Unless it's structured on a team. I remember as a teen having 20 kids show up for a touch football game in the nearest playground or school yard.

You never attempt a one handed catch in a crowd. It's 2 hands or none. That's basic receiving. That pick is on the receiver. Deflections equate to turnovers. Pretty basic stuff.

Coming over the middle trying to catch a high pass with one hand. Hey, what possibly could go wrong?

What I've been saying. Our American receivers aren't helping Nichols play better. I know the play you speak of. Our qb is in trouble & they do nothing to help him out. Somehow that's on Nichols? Either these receivers don't work hard enough to get open or they can't.

Okay question, if Streveler should play & doesn't because O'Shea won't let him & we keep losing going status quo, should O'Shea be fired at seasons end?

I truly do like Wolitarsky. He could be a really good receiver if we continue to use him.

Great another ST coach.

I think just about every qb would have a hard time finding Lankford, but I digress. I get your point, though.

For comparison purposes only.

Same here... The cops are warning they'll be out in full force with their radar guns in Calgary today. But if you choose to speed in a school zone you deserve what you get.

First of all, Trestman knows qbs as he has been one & coached them for over 20 years so he knows what to look for at that position. Secondly, MBT is 30 years old & has been around in pro football on more than a few teams so he has a bit of trust that he can read defense & understand terminology. MOS was a linebacker. He never took a snap as a qb so he doesn't have the insight into that position like Trestman does. Our HC relies on others for coaching advice. He obviously feels from the input of Pierce & LaPo that Streveler isn't ready to take over. That's my take.

Potatoes or potahtoes? He hasn't thrown for 405 yards either or won POTW twice.

Joey Elliott threw for 406 yards & a TD with a 32-25 win over the Hamilton Ti Cats in Aug 2012. On the season, he threw for 2101 yards & 5 TDs. Was named CFL Player Of The Week twice that year. Streveler hasn't done that.

I can't either. Having said that, this offense is incapable of doing that. From poor qb play to poor receivers to bad play calling & preparation as well as a lack of adjustments, everyone associated with the Bomber offense has to take the blame. Funny how football is called the ultimate team game yet people dump on Nichols because they say he's the only problem & overlook everyone else's mistakes. Is Nichols playing badly? Yeah but he has company on the field & in the coaches booth upstairs.

I wonder why Schultz never went back to TSN.

Then it's our system & it needs changing. Like a new OC.

He was the goat of the game, wasn't he?
