  1. Well to be honest changin anyone for Broxton would be massive The Condell effect with layered receivers and gguys running complimentary routes to free up space is also a huge difference I saw zero issues in Randophs game last night...sure its one game but he also another yr older and experienced...just like Wheatfall..was basically a rookie last yr so for sure you would think yr 2 as a starter he would take it up a notch..and seems he has..he schooled us mighty fine...and played well previous game fumble or not..everyone has fumbled
  2. Adams..Fox and Garbutt all still on a roster..tho Garbutt is hurt Thing is we let Dobson walk and chose to keep Kolo instead..obviously our HC valued him over the younger better guy...and we didn't lose him to $$ issues..was poor decision making...easy fix..cut Kolo and his 165k salary he stole here...funnel it to Dobson and kick in a few scheckles but we chose to keep the lesser player...and thats not isolated incident. We used to find dline talent..but we also played them right outta the gate while a lesser JT was last in line..Poop...Bryant..Stove.. Then we relied on JT..Scmeck..Korn and figured we were "good and deep" never targeted some prime FA'S who coulda turned the tide and guys we did bring in had to scratch and claw for any reps while JT and Scmeck/Korn gobbled up the lionshare...pretty hard to develop and evaluate guys on minimal reps Best thing to do this yr is let Dixon..Reese..Fletcher get game experience early and often and see where they at in 4..5 games..and if we need better than get someone else up here..we just break camp and settle witu who we picked come hell or high water..that just baffles me
  3. Ratio advantage if yeah a starter...and u have a backup to compliment..right now he just an end of roster guy We used multiple looks with him and Eli at same time..we could have done same with one of MCI or Clercius when healthy and used that pick on a legit reciever to compliment what we have and be able to pooch Cobb and Corc's or grabbed another defensive guy who can actually play...not just run up and down field covering kicks If anything thats the easiest thing to do on a roster...so picking scrubs with no upside is just a waste really Osh lost his plans.. when is last time he did anything unpredictable or against the grain? Besides crappy roster choices We have no plan...or is it poor arcitecture? We have this dumb idea we can go 3 national recievwrs..so we hold 3 imports on the PR...ass backwards Thing is its easy...we just dont give new or young guys the opportunity...and play tires with no tread basically right up to the steel belts
  4. Yeah collectively they need to be better.. be able to make the tuff decisions..if it steps on toes or hurts egos..so be it...part of the business they signed up for...and if they can't do it..step aside..or get put aside And then dont get starteded on the poor use...and allocation of guys on the PR...Ours right now makes no sense
  5. So...keep the 3 best tackles around..what if one goes down Also have the ability to make tough choices.. keep randloph where he was..slide broxton to LT and u could.have 6 gamed Bryant..Nationalized him and "start" him and then sub out with Randoplh..many ways If one our tackles goes out with season ender..we hooped He would have been fine at RG too seeing as we had the fixation witj 3 American oline guys...it was pretty much predetermined we were running 3 Canadian receievers before camp even opened...regardless if we had the talent to do so...even when some American rookies outperformed the incumbent Canadians...they were thrown on the PR..Another case of better player sitting for inferior...make that makes sense when its not even needed to make ratio....
  6. Kelly over others on roster Kolo over any pylon we had JT over many a DT The Marine Corcoran over Clercius last yr...I dont care if ZC was annoyed..he doesn't pick the roster Sam Hurl Kramdi over Griffin Korn...just being on a roster Thats just off top my head Sure the ownus is on Walters but he isnt out scouting guys..he just signs what the scouts bring to him...he looks at cis talent certainly and we've missed on a lot of picks..hit on a few Guys tho cut in camp who never really got a shot cause it was predetermined we were going with the old vet..thats on Osh...and who knows what they could have done..I sure that happens elsewhere too and rarely u grab an other teams tc castoff right away until you exhausted your own work first. Funny tho most of the guys we had rostered and moved on from before seem to land elsewhere and play well..and play for a while...this season alone we seen a ton of it Again..I agree its a collective effort...but end of day its one guy picking the roster..and making the decisions A collective coaching effort is coaches suggesting...not demanding and having final say...its the HC and if he sees a coach leaning to a lesser player he needs to have the ability to say...Nope , not happening A HC letting a assistant coach or a meddling owner pick his roster...is on fast track to unemployment...or middling success
  7. I do enjoy listening to Neilson and Willson tho..Willson is good at color..ads a lot to broadcast.. Suitor ads nothing
  8. osh will die with his favs...he has proven that...and i still stand by my opinion he doesnt have the best eye in evaluating actual talent...he looks at the wrong traits as his benchmark
  9. I think with Smith at Wil and keep Griffin put...Use Kramdi like we used Griffin...essentially in all the time anyway like he was...dime..on the edge off line...quasi free safety mode and put Allen back at safety we would be way better served. Especially when Woodbey is back and we can sit one of Wilson/Jones as Ayers and Woodbey...I bet if given chance even Shay could handle the middle...and be way more mobile and not as lost in coverage....like Jones specifically...Wilson isnt as bad
  10. Yeah I was skeptical of ZC going into season but he has shown he still can be elite...and his experience will be key. That game in CGY I was willing to give benefit of doubt with some his weak looking tosses with the weather factor But last night he showed he can still hit intermediate shots with ease, and looks to be a way different in like you mentioned pleasure and doesn't have that frustration on his face like so often last yr. Definitely another receiver target would be beneficial and sure only so many balls to go around, but you want/need a guy also to actually be a threat out there and take attemtion away from others....our 5th guy doesn't do that Look when ZC was really humming...We would have Lawler, Adams, Bailey, Demski and Woli...and they all made impact plays....same with when we had Schoen in lieu of Lawler...5 legit receivers make you better, and all can make huge impacts on games...we've seem it This notion the 5th guy guy can be insignificant and never targeted, and wouldnt effect a game is a load of crap
  11. Sadly your day dreaming makes sense. .a lot of sense...too bad our HC has daydreams of something else
  12. Kelly looks like he did pre injury Sucks to see Randolph that first Argo drive locking down right side of their oline...why we cut him...who knows
  13. Thing is...Griffin is way better SAM than Kramdi and thru 2 games has been one our more consistent defenders. We tied to Kramdi tho somewhere as would look kinda bad paying your 3rd highest paid defender on the bench..he is best in a situation role but we pay him like some elite guy..and he just isnt..who cares how smart he is. When woodbey is back we be better served pulling one of Jones or Kyrie and putting Allen at safety..we dont need 2 canadians to meet ratio on defence. And if we give will over to Smith we definitely dont need to go with a canadian safety. When Eli is 100 percent as well it makes better sense to go back Canadian there and use that extra import elsewhere too..hopefully reciever with Singer and then we could be covered using Vaval more on defence..Guy is a playmaker and could be that on defence too
  14. he lives whats 411 on Hicks...wanna use him in fantasy
  15. when your scheme you run 90 percent of time is dropping out 8 cover guys to try and 'trick' teams in how to bet you in the pass game..pretty easy to run roughshod over a bunch of DB type guys...Or LB's playing 7..8 yards outside the box...And then when your DB's are confused from being yanked all over the field and having to knoww 2..3 different positions...well we see what we get who hasn't fumbled tho and his play up to that point got them..or helped them get to O.T...I recall BO also making some nutkicking fumbles...it happens...and i not sure being avoided some games and under OC guy last yr any receiver should be held accountable for that fiasco last yr. He put up just shy of 700 yards and 4 scores...he's better than anyone on our roster not named White/Poke/Demski/Neild right now I agree with you Offence wasn't the issue btw...But moving on from a second yr receiver who showed potential and replacing him with the Canadian value pack wasnt wise...And we coulda paid Dobson...we chose not to....All we needed to do was cut ties with 1 old decaying vet...
  16. i've said...he not a good evaluator of talent...or what makes a guy real good on the field...he values things that are nice for maybe your last 3..4 roster spots...but to select and engage the actual talented guys in a group to compliment themselves...he just doesn't get it and his Canadian bias and his stubborn nature not to use rules in place to help him actual maximize his roster isn't helping matters. As I understand he was the only vote against the Nationized Canadian on the rules committee and this is his statement to show his displeasure...You cant have that in a HC putting personal issues above team Younger needs to....or be told to tone down what he trying to do. Way too much moving around of players and severely impeding cohesion...and no wonder guys look lost cause at times many likely are...takes one guy to trash the whole scheme and I sure at times player A looking lost or beat like a rented mule could be a direct result of player B totally screwing up his assignment...or having to think, as opposed to react and that split second or 2 is killing us...repeatedly. Showing the same scheme but swapping guys around in who is at each position, or taking out a guy to bring in a rotation guy isn't fooling anyone...or having any beneficial effect...over and over. And if yu have a weaker guy...aka Kelly coming in in lieu of a starter and just getting schooled 9 times outta 10...whats the point...If you don't have an equal or better option...leave the starter out there in their main/best position Run off your base set...with the best of your 12....rotate as needed or accordingly and focus on stuff you do well and works. What we have been doing is way excessive and hurts more than it helps...simplify and perfect...then instal things into your base systems Nobody stood out in a real positive moment for whole game...they all looked useless at times but I certain that leads to what I mentioned above. Our best guys overall were Griffin...Williams,,(who will het batter as he goes)..Holm..(But he needs help as he a waif and is still poor on the run) so Kelly in there who is a waif too is suicide...and we seen that repeatedly for 2 yrs now, and I like what Reese showed in limited reps...Jenkins...is he cemented in as it seems he was pretty much a lock due to one game last yr? He has shown nothing what he showed in that game...Jones and Wilson...Good as that DA depth but again...they were essentially secured their spot day 1 of camp...did Shay even see a defensive snap?...If they dont wanna play him...or feel he is not better than the old guard we employ...why he here? we don't need ST demon laden lineup...we need contributors and playmakers, and if that means we gotta play some rookie here and there, and or let our second yr guys...Smith/Shay..whomever step in, and grow with their ups and downs...so be it...thats the only way they will develop and get better....or play themselves off team and allow you to realize you need to look elsewhere On a different note...Cant say anything bad about ZC...He played well and was making throws he had to for most part...isnt forcing things like before and as season moves on with Condell he could put up a real good season...But we need another WR out there that is an option/threat....The 3rd Canadian experiment needs to end
  17. Nield makes thst catch..serge hits his fg...we tied..and no int..we up by 3 minimum
  18. More simplify things...
  19. He doesn't allow guys to get in a groove or any flow..too many moving parts..minimal consistency in scheme..I dont even know what his base defence is to play off
  20. Yeah when in the younger defence have you seen guys in coverage step into a route and pick off a ball ..not often
  21. Elsbury has not impressed...not worth it eating that import spot
  22. Osh never goes for 2....no stones
  23. Need a td drive here to turn this around
  24. Reese is quick
