With any common sense at all in management, the coaching and general management decks will be cleared and new faces will inspire players to stay, and maybe even play better.

I don't see that happening. O'shea and Walters will be here. Maybe they let go a coordinator and a couple of position coaches. I could see a new AGM and scouts. I don't get the sense they are panicking, yet.

even reading more of that article Osh is so full of crap...just some execution...some finite details still to fix..etc..etc...its game 11 coming up...That execution crap and the little details should have been addressed...corrected...whatever you wanna call it 5 games ago...Maybe it's not execution but the useless guys you kept who just can't execute, or your coaching is so bad that at the professional level you cant show/teach or run any kind of practice to do the littlest of things....like tackle.....catch...run a proper pursuit angle...block

Man excuse after excuse. Or maybe they so dense they can't even see the limitations in some guys

He said something similar after the Ottawa game too. Just baffling. If it takes 9 games to 'like where we are', wouldn't that tell you something is wrong with your planning and preparation, if it's taking half the season to get on the same page?

it’s almost the greater a player you are the worse coach you are. Mj and soo many others. mostly it’s mediocre players and fringe guys who end up being great coaches.

Because if you don't ooze natural talent, you have to be a student of the game. You can't keep up if you don't.

Yeah, I think it's time for Korny to go find a job with the Riders. Not sure who Matthew Jackson is exactly?

For a team that's getting nothing but older, and we go and cut a Young Buck.

Hot take.... Mike Kelly might have gotten better results from a worse roster than we're getting this season....

That's the issue dude... This team is underachieving

I don't think we're underachieving. I think we're coming back down to earth after a couple years of over achieving. Barely scrapping out wins we maybe shouldn't have. Covering up obvious concerns because we won, so it can't be that bad... jmo

I highly doubt Geno Lewis would make us worse. I see no downside to bringing him in.

It's clear to me that Fajardo isn't the same QB he was with saskatchewan. He has put the work in to close up some of the holes in his game. I didn't think I'd ever say this, but I would welcome him in blue and gold.

It's baffling - especially for a coach who was known for using all the special teams rules quirks to his advantage when he first came here.

It's a coaches duty to seize every advantage. Nothing makes we want a coach fired more than pissing away opportunities to improve.

His name is/was Morris and he had a book store on Osborne I believe...He sure made the rounds on all of the CFL sites and got booted from a few of them...He had a penchant of rubbing people the wrong way...His use of the word 'vermin' to describe some people irked a few...Sure backed the bluengold ...one of his good attributes....He was certainly a 'legend in his own mind'

Nasty Nate was a character in the movie 'Half-baked'. It was nate's avatar for a bit on OB.com.

That is interesting. Guess that means we will be back in the mix for a front office type this year as well. 

O'Shea just found Hogan's landing spot.

It's not country so I don't hate it but I'm definitely not a MGK fan.  Was expecting worse TBH.

Pretty much this,  for me. I was expecting some lame-ass country singer.

Since you mentioned him...

 

The canuck truck needed a better insurance policy after that hit.

I hate the lack of objectivity that surrounds Rourke.  The media acts like anything he does has never been done before.  His "miracle" 10 game start in 2022. It wasn't that great and anyone who can read should be able to figure that out. He beat the hell out of edmonton 3 times.  The worst team in the league.  And toronto once. Toronto was in a complete tailspin at the time. The game following their loss to bc was the one against us where they were fighting each other on the sideline. His other 6 starts were competitive but nothing out of this world.

What bothers me the most is o'shea's hesitation to pull the trigger. Boudreau's scheme was terrible last season but he was given the entire season and playoffs to continually fail. Boudreau got axed in Hamilton after 5 games of last in the league cover teams. Too much loyalty. Not enough accountability.

Are these gold top set ups going to be the new 3rd uniforms? They are wicked 

I think what you're referring to is a practice jersey. 

He's on top of the mountain, now. Drinking the good water. 

 

Interesting.  Appears that he hasn't taken a snap since 2021. Good college career though.

Based on how active this thread is, quite a few people 😀

What i find hilarious about Toronto is so much of it reminds me of Winnipeg.  Just a bit bigger. I have no desire to go there, unless it's for work. The city does nothing for me,  otherwise. 

I've traveled a fair bit in the last decade. Canada,  us and a few places off the continent.  A lot of places I've been to, really make me appreciate winnipeg.  We have our issues,  no doubt about it.  But we have a lot in our favor too. 

At a casual glance,  chad Kelly's numbers look pretty similar to MBT's in 2022. I don't think Bethel-Thompson was in the MOP debate,  was he?

My comment was a sarcastic in nature. You see, if gun control in Canada didn't actually work,  one wouldn't have to swim across a river to steal a firearm.
