I don't think Bomber fans have much to complain about in our secondary tbh, and the stats back that up. Best in the league.
I'm a very results oriented big picture guy tho so I tend not to be too critical of the odd mistakes people make. Players..coaches..they are not infallible and all screw up. I like to look at the entire body of work and the end results. Just me tho.
I don’t think rose has been necessarily bad, but he’s not the all star he’s been hyped up to be. Just overrated imo.

Me and my buddy I used to coach with are going to the grey cup. Finally made it happen. It’ll be our first one since starting to follow cfl when Olivera came up north. Looking forward to it! Hoping to have the bombers there but going to enjoy regardless. Figured you guys would understand the excitement.

Thought Fancy feet was as well....he would perform better further away from the L.O.S and if he has this speed, and quick feet to change direction....Safety would be perfect spot for him to be the over the top help, or if he has the eyes....jump routes and be a 8-10 pick guy a year.
He just isnt as effective in the heavy slugging of SAM and HB, and would be better served at Safety...He got the HB spot by default this yr due to Parker's injury....and partly from being a holder over from last year .....I'm not a hater on the guy....Just don't see him as a true HB.....he's a safety option and the way league is going a big hitter there is becoming a detriment...due to penalty calls
Back to speed....on the field the diff with a 4.3/4.4 guy is easily negated by a 4.5..4.6 guy in when the slower timed guy hits top speed in 3 steps...and doent wind up to it....u get a step or 2....those small gaps in time are not over come
he was a FS...also for his draft prospective was classified as one as well...
He was a corner. Never once played safety at und. He went into the draft at safety probably by advice of his agent
our safety’s at und during his time were Cole Reyes, then Canady / galvin. I might be forgetting one in the middle but holm was always corner and special teams.

Game speed and some fast guys aren’t 40 runners. Some guys are much faster 10/20 or 60/80 runners. 40 yards can fall between gears or some guys hit top speed too late. I find a lot of twitchy quick guys run 4.5 range. A guy like schoen has his speed line up perfectly for the 40. Iirc he’s our fastest wr by a lot in the 40. Have him race grant in a 60/80/100 and grant smokes him. Same in a 10/20. Not digging schoen by any means. He’s perfect for a certain range and incredibly good at playing that range.
wasn’t holm mostly a S in college too or am I confused? I think he or Parker would be excellent at s. But it is also great to have guys like that at Sam to chip in with the run game.
I really want to see us move on from some vets in the secondary next year. We know they can find turn key dbs in the league and in college. I love some of the vet dbs and what they’ve done for us and the mentality but yeah time to go young.He was corner

I really like both Parker and Holm. We’re a better team when both of them are on the field. Neither are Nichols level yet but I think both can get there.
Rose and Houston are the only two I will entertain criticism on.

He has done testing tho....and lots of guys have no pro days...or combine days...but do have all the tests done and verified....to say he has/had no measurables for scouts and GM's is almost laughable
You know just as well as I do that laser and hand timing isn’t the same

He said it in an article somewhere....also personally...believe what u will...also look and the pri day numbers...tho sometimes those are a bit not totally true indication...things may have came into play for them...and way they were performed....so laugh all u want...Osh says Lotsa things too that aren't necessarily 100 percent fact
Parker didn’t even have an official pro day bc Covid so

Ok fair.
I just thought it was unfair to point out the elks returner out running Holm, when he literally out ran everyone. I mean it is just one example, but you have been pretty critical of Holm.
WHat is it that you see Holm lacking that the coaches dont see
2 of the coaches have been quoted saying he’s our fastest db so I’ll take that over a play where he’s blocked coming over

It looks like he popped the ball out but just by chance rhymes re-caught the ball. It was unlucky. I still wouldn’t have told Holm to go for the tackle in that situation, he made the high IQ decision
I also want to add that I was super impressed with Parker’s speed on that play but no one has mentioned that holm was hardly a step behind him and he was coming off the ground! I thought that was just as awesome. I don’t think he’d have been in position to make a tackle before the end zone but it does say quite a bit about his speed.

I thought he swished on that one but on further review the ball popped up a bit so he probably made contact. If he'd gone for the tackle initially I think he would have stopped him beyond White's FG range, but there is the possibility Rhymes carries him another 10-15 yards.

I thought the leos were gifted their first td with that bullshit pi call on Kramdi...I've looked at a few times and I just cant see interference ...Also the deliberate hit on Grant out of bounds and not called was another pile of crap.....When you're playing in a tight meaningful game like that one was we need better reffing ......
i agree but I think it ended up equalling out in the end. We also had holm push VA out of bounds and plenty of holds by us that weren’t called

If Houston was playing does he make that tackle? 🤔

Olivera - MOP decision finalized. He carries this team. He can catch (one handed I might add), fake, run like a steam roller. Wow I grin like a little kid.
Holm - quiet until the end, had his guy locked up all night. Two potential picks at the end for him that would have been well deserved. Played smart at the end. An absolutely massive PKD at the end
Grant - versatile player that gets the job done. Finally a breath of fresh air to not cover my eyes during returns. Glad to have him back.
HH: Parker - he might have played far off of his man most of the game but who’s to say whether that’s richies call and he always followed up with soul crushing tackles. The tackle at the end felt heroic honestly. He got his **** rocked - thank you for your service Parker.

Holm was the one who tried for the int and missed giving up the big play
What else do you do in that position as a db. You’ve gotta try to make the play. A tackle isn’t enough otherwise they kick a field goal
