Yeah if it was that simple why did it take soooo long to even find a competent coach let alone a coach that has won us 2 cups? Your bias against MOS is showing again.

I always liked what I saw from Brown. Stylistically he reminds me a bit of ZC, but scrambles a bit like Reilly. 
 
Jury is absolutely out on him, he could be the next Mike Reilly, or the next Nick Arbuckle.

he still hasnt proven anything....is he a system benefactor from being here 3 yrs?....with same guys the whole 3 yrs?....or is he a legit talent who an step in anywhere and produce...we shall soon see...I have my doubts until proven otherwise

Which is why I gave up on the Coach's Show on CJOB and don't bother to listen to it.  I admit that I got spoiled in the Kelly year but even Lapo gave some sort of effort at more than one or two word answers to questions.   Not worth listening to 45 minutes of commercials to hear zero insight on anything.
But hey that's life on that front, I'll take it every day of the week if it means we get to the Cup every year.  

I don’t get the argument at all, to be honest. People use an open competition with no veteran incumbents to suggest young guys can beat out veterans. It’s a weird take. 

Last season they kept 3 on the active roster and 0 on the PR, with Strev. handling 3rd down and Brown's backup job, I don't see any reason to keep another QB on the active roster when he doesn't have a role.  Strev. will be hungry for every rep he can get, he didn't sign a bottom drawer contract to share limited snaps with a rookie.

The guys that used to be beat writers for the Bombers in the media hey day of the 50's, 60's & 70's like Don Blanchard, Jack Matheson, Jack Wells, John Robertson, Maurice Smith & Reyn Davis never claimed to be football experts. They knew their way around the game from being at practice everyday as well as sitting in on the odd film session with the head coaches they covered over the years. They all had a couple of things in common. They knew their readers & listeners. They always asked the questions we fans wanted answers to. They weren't afraid to dig around &  write the stories that made certain GMs & Head Coaches squirm. Those days are long gone. 

No offense but who cares about what Mullinder says??? He gets paid to pump the Riders & he does it. I just wish we had a choice of what broadcast team to listen to. Of course, anyone could have turned the sound down on your device & put CJOB on.
If they cut Pigrome after that one game he played then Barriere's days here are counting down fast.

Moses, Garbutt and Thomas comma Tre

That's an impressive 9 players named as the three stars

The great irony is the people who get slammed for talking about MOS' faults have all said there's no coach they'd rather have... people just don't like hearing about a legend like that's issues, but roster management has been a thing with oshea since day 1. 

There’s a massive difference between saying it’s his fault and saying he didn’t put us in the best position to succeed.
So many people here want to deal in absolutes, but the reality is it’s a mix of everything. Our roster didn’t show up and make it count, but I’ll hold strong and say we didn’t put our guys in the best position to succeed either.

They keep saying they can’t figure out Adams’ name as if it’s not in giant ******* letters on the back of his jersey 

Wilson looks like a QB...pocket poise...moves nice to get in a throwing position..

Ajou Ajou is a big body damn

Garbutt, Smith, and Rosery the 3 stars of the half for me

Mine was the burp hiccup right before the last commercial break 

A Woli jet sweep is a weird call.

Before DT mentioned it, can anybody recall reading Eli was hurt? I can't and this goes to what people have been saying about issues with media coverage.

Sure. There's a good 30-45 minutes a day on the 680 CJOB Sports Show with Christian. Plus training camp hits in sports at 625, 725, 825, 925am and 325, 425 and 525 pm. And we'll have two hours pre-game Monday starting at 1:00pm. We've hit all those topics over the first 10 days.
Since I've got some time sitting in Regina:
1) We've seen Shayne Gauthier + Kyrie Wilson / Kyrie + Brian Cole as the LB combos post-Bighill. John Petrishen + Tre Thomas has been another duo from the start. Anyone else isn't getting a ton of work.
2) Liam Dobson at left guard and Eric Lofton at right tackle every day so far. I think Ted Wyman was the first to touch on it on May 12. The only time it wasn't Dobson a LG was the last day because of injuries to Eli and injury/day off for Kolankowski. Dobson shifted to center for that one.
3) Michael Chris-Ike is slowly getting more action in a FB/TE roll after his late arrival. Gabe Wallace was getting first-team reps with the injuries to Neufeld and Eli. They are by far the closest to making an impact early in the season. Clercius is down around the 3rd group of receivers. Kalra is much closer than Vlahogiannis. And Leroux is 100% going back to school, so apart from 1 day where we talked about him, we'll catch up with him next year. Gassama and Hubert appear far down the pecking order.
4) 1st team has been Haba and Fox since day 1.
5) KJ Hill never seemed to get above the third group. And when he got hurt and wasn't going to recover in time, they released him. Had he appeared with the first team like a Ravi Alston, Ontaria Wilson or Myron Mitchell there would have been more talk about Hill.
There were roughly 8 guys vying for return spots. They *might* be down to 4, but there are virtually no returns in camp. Without full-speed contact, they aren't worth much. Pre-season games are where we'll see who's who.
 
 

“Who may win the ten available roster spots we have available?” isn’t minutiae 

a little harder for us guys out here in the hinterlands tho...

The lack of coverage in training camp is truly so frustrating. The human interest stories are great fluff and I can’t blame Ed Tait because that’s what the club wants but come on …
Bighill out to start the year and not a peep about any of the new linebackers.
Two offensive line spots open and no clue who is out in front of the competiton.
A full draft class and no idea how they’re slotting in yet.
Is Haba/Fox starting just a closed case already? Does anyone want to talk about it?
KJ Hill cut and as per the reporters, he was “a hyped rookie” but absolutely no mention of who may lock that spot down now.
 
It gets worse every year. @DTonOB explain yourself 

"He's a great CFL prospect because he's super average at everything" 
Wow what a sell 😂
