  1. I have to admit to a completely different viewpoint on Osh's style. He doesn't need to change his personality or attitude or whatever you want to define it as. The idea of the 'ass-kicking coach' frankly is antiquated. That is a quick way to burn bridges and get fired. 

    He treats his players with respect and asks the same in return. There is a reason why people speak so highly of the team culture here. Nobody this far into a professional career - coach or player - should need fear as a motivator. In fact I believe it was Buono who said something like his job wasn't to motivate the players, but to get rid of the ones who need to be motivated. 

    It's that sense of brotherhood that will help teams get through tough times, in my opinion. 

    This team has some big issues that need to be fixed. They've also been the best team in the league by a decent distance the past few years. It was inevitable that they would come back to the pack a bit as players age and other teams improve.

  2. There are people that think Chris Jones is a great head coach...

    It may have been true at one point but it definitely isn't recently. There is no excuse for Edmonton to be this bad, in my opinion. There is no option at QB and you're not even at the halfway point of the season.

  3. Just my two cents, but I'd like to see how this actually plays out before folks start jumping all over Osh. Dude's been to three straight Grey Cups but suddenly his roster management is poor. He certainly has his faults and definitely has and will make mistakes - including with the roster - but I want to see how this actually is deployed first.

    He is going to do what's best for the team. I am skeptical he would just skip over a possible advantage just for the hell of it.
