This has been said ad nauseum and demonstrated on the field that sitting Ayers or any one or two players will change little. We are way past rearranging the chairs on the Titanic. I am going to stop posting the same angry crap as it it both repetitive and infuriating.
Football is a game won and lost in the trenches. Neither our OL or DL is consistently winning those battles.

thing is....for last I dont know how many yrs...we show no inclination to change.....Osh says we know the issue and will fix it...backups get zero reps, let alone a chance to grab a spot (even tho they apparently are all starter quality...hence why they here) and we either limp into playoffs with banged up guys....or have nobody after the main 12...13 starters and get beaten down and nobody gets pulled...cause well nobody has earned trust due to lack of play time...and round and round we go....this is loking like round 4....It's still early I agree....but i have zero faith whatsoever that any significant move or coaching shift will occur....none?
scheme?...or roster???...workd quite well for most part last yr....me thinks players....especially with many holdovers who wouldnt make a starting unit anywhere else...a couple wouldnt make game day roster
I doubt it is scheme as well. All i know is that we have seen way too many mental errors to be blaming scheme. No DC schemes broken coverages. That's 100% on the personnel and their preparation.

Those bust were caused by communication breakdowns.
That's not all on the Safety but yes Alexander was helpful in that regard for sure.

Which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, let alone the coaching staff. This has been coming on for two years and the team's unwillingness or inability to replace him is symptomatic of the probems with the team.
Jake needs to go. There are others as well.

They've had some good mid-season corrections that have paid off, BA to Safety, Travis Bond to OG, Nichols in for Willy.
Absolutely. Wilson coming back from the NFL would help immensely, and some other tweaks here and there. It's not a lost cause by any stretch of the imagination. Vaughters is not playing very well, and of course our interior DL is weak. We need help there. Not sure we have the personnel right now. Time for an airlift.
1 minute ago, Fatty Liver said:BA is still hanging around, at least he kept them in line and on focus.
Not gonna pin any of it on the Safety.

Maybe, I'd prefer to find out mid-season where they're lacking while there's still time to adjust, rather than late season and be shocked how poorly they play against competitive teams. It's easy to beat up on the weak teams, but if they can't beat the top teams during the regular season it's unlikely they'll beat them in the playoffs.
When was the last time Zach mounted a comeback from 2 TD's down?
I've seen more busts in our coverages this year than in the last 5 years combined. Our D is simply not playing like they should. We predicate on a ball hawking shut down secondary. We don't have that right now.

yea...the bright side is that the playoffs don't start at the beginning of July. Lot can change from now to then if we don't show improvement.

7 out of 8 games coming up will be challenging, Stamps (2) Argos (2) and Als (1) leading into back to back with the Riders and the LDC, good chance all starting QB's will be back for those games. How they perform in that stretch will define their season and whether they still have the ability to compete with the top teams, or if they've officially been dethroned as King of the Hill.
If we play like we can we will be fine. If we play like country club princesses like last night it will be a long season. If we don't see more out of our team than what we got last night then clean house and start the rebuild.

1. MOS-Outcoached and poor game day roster
2. Kyle Walters-At best enabled MOS by bringing back vets like Thomas, Kolo etc
3. Wade Miller-Frankly needed to have a tough talk with MOS and KW this off season
HH-To all of us here who suffered through watching the game
I won't jump the gun on one game, especially given our performance prior to bye weeks over the past several year, however it is pretty evident that our coaches and players all need a swift kick in the ass after that fiasco last night. The lack of execution and piss poor game plan is on the coordinators not OShea. However, it is OShea's job to make sure that his team plays with effort and for 60 minutes. It is also the players jobs to be mentally prepared and ready to play. Everyone took a **** last night. Coach, coordinators and players all need to do a lot better.

Dickey beat the brakes off MOS last night. Completely outcoached and out schemed at essentially every level.
Dickey beat the brakes off MOS by having a team that was far more prepared and interested in playing last night. Out schemed is on Younger and Hogan who had absolutely horrid game plans and total lack of adjustments throughout the game.
-
Inexcusable lack of focus and preparation. Every coach and every player should be embarrassed. When veteran guys like Patty Neufeld are completely turned around and lost on a play it tells you all you need to know about how prepared this team was. The country club atmosphere that seems to have developed after a great start needs to be nipped in the bud right now. It was horrible execution by every position group all evening and that simply will lose you any game you play against any opponent. I don't know how this team continually seems to look so flat prior to bye weeks. Time for the coaches and locker room leaders to change that narrative.

I know the usual suspects are gonna lose their wad on this but Kramdi is in same boat as T.Jones...good in box...crashing down at line...run blitzes...but serious holes...lost in space....has a hard time running with receivers/backs and is not a good tackler/form tackler...he's a shin diver and doesn't wrap up......Is he good?...he's adequate and wont kill you...could we be better...most definitely...why dont we use the better player...(and I can think of 3 easily off top my head) no frickin clue...just an Osh preference and the Canadian aspect of it I sure makes him all giddy
I use to rag on Holm a lot but he has really upped part of his game to accommodate for some his weak points...And has done so as he was given the opportunity as a young player/rookie...hence it is so vital to give guys opportunities, as you dont know until you test them...and this day and age practices wont facilitate the opportunity
30 yr old T.Jones......he is what he is.....Jake...he is what he is...and not even close to what he was...which wasnt much and he aint gonna get better...Kramdi too...he's hit his ceiling, but is very valuabloe as a guy who can come in in a lot of situations and gives you great depth if injury....and the CDN part makes him even more valuable as a super sub
Kolo...holes all over his game...at his ceiling and zero upside there...
I agree on Jake and Kolo. Disagree on TJ and Kramdi. Also, at no point did Osh say he thought JJ was better than TJ. He said the armchair HCs think that.

didnt say they werent....last game T.Jones was far from great....and even this gane if yu watched he had several crappy plays....was he good...sure...is he an all-star?...no....can we be better...game in and game out...definately....tug on his wang all you want but he has holes in his game....why you so hesitant to try and get better is baffling to say the least...you definately a Mike Oshea sycophant thtas for sure...and thats ok....
Who says J. Jones is better? It's not tugging on OSheas nuts to ask that question. It's not just Osh...it's Younger, it's Hall as well that don't share your assessment. Are you seriously suggesting you are a better talent evaluator than these 3 men? Evan Holm and Redha Kramdi would have been cut early in their careers if it were up to you.

Most people liked T Jones last year but then they signed a former Argo.
Tony Jones has played very well this year...but J.Jones is younger and has a higher ceiling MAYBE...seems to be the crux of the argument. Just complaining for the sake of complaining imo.

Zach's play cost us a GC, and he's been so putrid in the GCs and playoffs; he has a long way to go before that.
He did give me a ton of hope again. I had hope after his preseason play as well, but last week was rough. His start to the game was also rough. He tossed some ducks early last night that had me worried. I'm glad he got it together. I hope he keeps it tight from here on. I am reasonably optimistic that this will continue.
With Jones, he pretty much did what he always does. A bit better than previous in pass rush, though it's not his strength. He is still completely lost in pass cover.
Jones balled out last night. If your biggest complaint about TJ is that our MIKE is not great in pass cover then I think you guys are really reaching.

ZC arm is not what it was but he had a good game once he warmed up....has he did enough this yr tho to validate an extension sight unseen...to be determined
Jones made some plays...but was also brutal in several too....there is that to consider....now if he can consistently be top level game in....game out then sure he is decent....but he still has holes in his game and they aren't little holes
Is he our best option?...who knows...but I doubt it and the fact they don't give a guy a shot who has already proven it in the league just to see who is better...well that in my opinion is bad rostering, as you should always be trying to be better....and we don't seem to want to find out...And if J.Jones is...and it pushes T.Jones to a rotational/situational role...where he would seem even better, then why not find out if it makes the overall team better?....
Also...was against a winless team as well....be that player in all games...against all comers....no?
I just don't get how some people have an adverse opinion to trying to put best team out there...but rather just be "ok" at times....and never know..
Tony Jones and Zach Collaros were both great last night. Eat your crow like a man.

For sure....I just know that when I played and the HC came and asked you if you would consider learning LSing that it was never a good sign. lol
17 hours ago, wbbfan said:You’re never just fine shortly after a concussion. And even if you don’t feel wonky, you are at serious risk. Diagnosed concussion should be an automatic week off.
Don’t want to see his career end on a concussion. Not if it’s preventable.
In this day and age, knowing what we know about concussions in football, I would put a mandatory 10 day evaluation period if I were the commish. It would suck, but player safety has to be paramount. Especially for guys with concussion histories. At any rate, we all thought Harris was fragile, and we were all right.

here's a scary thought/observation...I have seen Kolo practicing it...eeeeeeee
That may not be the worst thing. Not many teams will roll out their starting C as LS. Maybe it's the plan coming down the road. Dare to dream.

Not a huge fan of our receiving corps. Got a QB who wants to go heavy vertical/intermediate stuff and two of 5 suited to that. Demski is too but really only wins consistently on a couple routes and needs to be open open to have a chance to finish plays downfield.
Same **** as last year with receivers. Replace Lawler with Wheatfall. Sterns is Wilson. Get some bigger yet versatile bodies, catch radius guys. Hope Clercius develops some game on the inside breaking routes and not just being good at getting the YAC when D forgets about him.
I don't mind our receiving corps, but Hogan needs to play them to their strengths. We've got Sterns and Demski that should be in motion constantly giving defences fits and we pull out a jet sweep but give it to Wheatfall? Sometimes I think we try put square pegs in round holes. Let Demski be Demski and mix his usage, use Sterns for YAC, let Wheatfall and Schoen take the top off, and let Clercius settle into Woli's old role of outlet/possession receiver.
12 hours ago, Bigblue204 said:There was a play where Willie dropped back pretty deep into coverage. I think it was later in the game. Thought that was pretty funny
He's done that quite a bit over the past few years. They will blitz the SAM or S off the edge and drop Willie back into the secondary. It's been effective.
9 hours ago, wbbfan said:Nah. Smith is NOT a hb. He has a fringe chance to be a S. Realistically, he is likely to end up a full time wil that doesn’t need to be subbed for a db in the dime pack playing the inside wall and hcf zones.
He doesn’t have any of the fluidity needed to be covering guys straight up, nor does he have any of the experience in how to man or match.
Mackonzo, is a real db who can play some lber. He could be a Sam, half, S or wil / dime.
Canadians who can actually cover import WRs are rare. Most Canadian dbs are safety’s who camp out between the hash marks at 15-20 yard depth and play scare crow. Or teams guys to small to back up at lber.
Makonzo, haggerty, Kelly, smith and shay likely mean we flip the wil to ni in the future, and stop having to use a di on a db. Likely meaning we declare 3 Canadians on D. But also having the flexibility to flip more spots, and have really good depth at the same time.
We could even flip wil and Mac to go with Kramdi at Sam for an all Canadian lber core.
I really think that as the season goes on we will be seeing more and more of these young Canadians allowing us a 4 man IMP front on passing downs. Just can't rush them.

Does anyone know what Toews’ cap hit will be? I think bonus money counts up front, but is a playoff bonus different. A $2 million cap hit would be great, but a $7 million cap hit is an overpay.
And he may well get that on the open market. Then my big concern is if that is the bar set, how much will Kyle Connor cost us in his next contract. Hope to see an extension on him soon at $9.5 million before the free agency lunacy drives up his price to &12-13 million per.
His cap hit is $2M. All bonuses can be deferred to next year at the team's choosing. I would think the Jets will build their roster based on the base and push whatever bonuses he attains to next year when there is a big jump in the cap.

Or does this signing mean he's for sure gone and we're using his potential cap space... Cause JT *could* cost as much as 7- Million in cap space next year if he hits all his bonuses
No matter what JT makes in bonuses this year his cap hit is $2M. All bonuses can be deferred to next year when the cap jumps by 15 million.
-
Tony Jones is currently the better MIKE than J.Jones whether some poster here want to hear it or not. J.Jones has the brighter future, but he isn't there yet. The only way some people are going to be happy with roster decisions is if everyone gets to dress on game day like preseason.

I think that is an overstatement, but if we get a few more it will impact attendance for sure.
