Booch

thats why you pooch Kramdi...Holm...Thomas...and free up over 500k right there on defence, use entry level studs...or first contract guys already inhouse to man those spots....easily done

yeah hard to comprehend that we would lose regardless...considering our coach said every single guy was here because they give us a chance to win, are here for a reason....and all are number #1's.....seems to make one thib he is ful of sht as he doesnt believe it himself but uses that narrative when people question his roster.... And yeh...what of he struggles out of gate again...more excuses...one yr was injuries...another excise was new oc so needed adjustment to it....another was we focused on wrong stuff in TC....Another was injuries again when a gimp we signed....was still a gimp....whats next yr's gonna be?...

and hence why we let a guy we groomed for 3 yrs...got substantial work here along the way and showed great potential walk for basically nothing...Sure hindsight is 20/20....but also good teams...and great coaches see the future in the now...and make the tough...sometimes hard decisions...Loyalty shouldnt be a currency that keeps you employed, or starting in the same place forever he got less grooming than Brown got here tho....and did significantly less than Brown did...Yet MTL had the foresight to look forward and project their squad so to speak and would be the best option for them...We didnt...there were many signs ZC was in serious decline and we just kept referencing 2019-2021 and some reg season success....but poor playoff performances see above If Huff was here..Bouno....even ol Cal....Brown woulda been kept..ZC traded

another part of the issue...his ego.....and admitting failure or mistakes...let alone correcting them mid-season...it's non-existent and hurts us too

just more examples of poor coaching and how coaching has killed us in every cup loss....and this season too.... And maybe that wasnt all on the defense but more on ZC himself....Not like ZC had never seen the Argo's or their schemes....again....a good coach may have made a switch...even if just for a series or 2...to see Worked for ARGOS taking a Cup away from us when Dinwiddies Yanked Vet Looney Tunes for raw rookie the Pest.....pretty savvy coaching decision.....How that turn out again? First means nothing tho really if yhou cant finish it off....and we won a lot of reg season games in spite of the things that ail us....wins just glossed over some things and made it seem we good.... I'd rather finish 2nd...3rd....win 9...10 games a yr and win when it mattered....but to each their own I guess where they consider "success|"

this....And that Our D came in pretty hot in 2022 and 2023 as well.....best in league...fewest points surrendered....and how that turn out? You cant assume that....But safe to assume a QB who was healthy and could actually hang on to a ball...and handle it properly let alone throw....would likely do better than one who couldn't..

only way to find out tho...is give them a chance for a game or 2...lord knows we give craptacular guys seasons worth of chances Shay was regarded as the most pro ready LB in the draft...Smith not far behind.... Yet Ham found success with raw rookie....BC as well withbtheir guys the last few yrs got a lot of play time...and Nat...Import....doesnt matter.....Shay is a national by the wide range in the determination...he's as American as American as can be.. I can see the argument with Canadians coming in from the CIS....Not Canadians who played NCAA and or Prep school before that...they are light yrs ahead of the curve as the CIS guys Regardless...Osh wont or rarely gives Imports reps as the back-up ....and thats a big reason why we roster and play walking wounded as the actual backups get zero play time...so he has no clue what they can do, let alone if they have the mental part down.... true true....that being said...we need to dump some baggage...and be open to our ratio and deviate from how its been for basically...10 yrs now And Osh cant have a hissy fit of Walters says Thomas..Kramdi..Kolo...Wilson...and others aren't being sked back...and guys like T.Jones are not the default starter

I think he on record saying he allots so much for each position group...so fairly rigid...and maybe time to deviate...same with ratio

speaking of crack hahaha

yup...the DB price has to be pared down and is a bloated amount thats not necessary.....2 of those salaries need togo..Hopefully its Kramdi and Holm...at they all free agents? Nichols is the one tokeep as he is a leader...can play anywhere and isnt in decline....Kramdi and Holm...easily replaced at half the cost Philpot would look good here...take some load off of Demski too and likely keep him healthy and producing at a high level...Land a legit #1 WR threat....Roll with that guy..Pokey..Demski...Philpot...Clercius possesion gritty guy....free up a import spot elsewhere exactly...plus with Bailey being added to mix and allowing another import on the field...be back to2019 2021 dline terror....Bailey needs to play and develop...has all the tools...yeah people see him as a Global...but really he isnt a true Global...He was sought after as an American until it was relozed he can qualify as a Global

we could run BO...Demski..Clercius and 2 national Olineman and 2 Canadians on defence with what we have right now and be a better team if the right guys are used....thats not even factoring in going any legit FA Canadian for defence, OR drafting smart and targeting legit potential starters and not these ST only plugs...Sask started Allen who really isnt even that good....but produces well and Shay and Smith both have way better metrics and skill/upside here and if started wouldnt have hurt us at all, and would have been light yrs ahead of where they are currently, and the other net positive of that would have allowed us to start/roster another impact defender on the dline...but we'd rather go the "other" route....and play sub par guys cause Osh likes them, and they been here a while....

yeah..."he's earned" his 600k....and we saw "glimpses" of what he can do....good god...Thats not glimpses of potential...its glimpses of what was....and wont be the norm.....And awesome break down...thats some fuggly assed **** for 650k.... I guess we should be ready for the JT re-up as I am sure his 18 games and 9 defensive tackles for 2025 has earned his 130k or more salary....and yes...those were his stats as a top 3 reps dlineman on the squad...let that marinate Osh looks back at what was as does Walter's apparently....I have zero faith at moment....none....

yeah he said he allots certain amounts to certain position groups, and seems as rigid with that as osh is with his ratio...both should be fluid and adjusted on the fly if need arises or you have an opportunity to upgrade somewhere....missing put on FA guys or letting others go because it doesn't meet what you already predetermined as your ratio...is just dumb...and makes your roster decay...kinda like ours has...

ZC had good supports in and around him in 2024...and basically kinda sucked too....the concern tho is the arguing with him and Osh...basically confirms that Osh pouts and has a huge say in a lot of the crap we rostered...that has to stop now and Wlter's needs to slap on the big boy pants and say here is what u are getting for players...make it work....You dont like it...dont let the door hit u on the ass on way out...That dynamic is bad bad bad...and makes a lot of sense now....Osh needs to be the HC and thats that....

Yeah...Dolegala had moe experience as a pro..Wilson more experience here....but also the way we run practice and get guys in for reps during season his "experiemce" was basically moot....Either way...a healthy QB would have gave us a better chance than a guy who could barely grip the ball...let alone throw it...Plus the fact he basically has been a non factor in majority of our playoff games for most part anyway...sometimes a switch makes a huge shift in game...we have been on other end of that several times What did ZC give us after he came in with his dangly finger?? I know first pass was picked...but wasnt there a pick 6 as well...fumble...couple of turtling sacks?....I actually shut the game off shortly after the first pick and havnt even watched the finish

basically this...and Dolegala was here more than long enough to run the offence...He also wssnt a raw rookie...had several yrs under his belt...was a starter...he would have been fine.....and better than what ZC could offer Osh just Osh'ed....and it was apparent with other injured guys he kept trotting out...and the fact he wont pull a guy for not getting it done...Other coaches do....The Argo's did with their QB...In Grey Cup...and moments later were hoisting er' up while we wondered what happened O have said it many times here...and stand by it...coaching killed us/kills us.....and if it's just more the same, and so far...looking like it...gonna keep killing us

not really the viibe i got...saying ZC earned his 600k salary...when asked about his last 2 sessons and 17 td/15 and 16 pick seasons.....said he showed glimpses...like wtf Also...we not gonna change the way we do things....thats super psoitive considering the way they been doing it has us nose diving 4 straight yrs.... Lots of deflection...excuses...non-answers really in my opinion...and we all know how Osh goes about stuff...and the "not changing the way we do things" comment...more the same Interesting part was his comment about almost heated argumwnts/yelling discussions about player type stuff....kinda confirms Osh pouts and put up a fuss when he didnt like Walters take on certain things....thats gotta change in a biiiiiiig way...He dont like it...Osh can eff off FIFO right?...

2024...ZC has finger basically reattached...sent out there with glove...and is throwing long passes...picked repeatedly...is utterly useless... The way things have panned out alot..repeatedly...fir yrs...seems to be the opposite of smart

Also said "change way we do things...no"..."ZC has earned his 600k salary coming up...ZC still showed flashes" ...id say i not hopeful...same ol same ol Still looking back...think they doing stuff right...call me worried Yea...at least he admitted a lot of our wins were basically for lack better terms....smoke and mirrors and couldn't beat top QB'S My gut says...expect more the same

THEN ....why they even on the roster??...just incompetence if thats how they felt....but it is just a matter of Osh doin the Osh......guy for all his pluses...has some serious negatives/flaws...and it's cost us dearly moe than it's benefitted us It was apparent early tho it severly afftected his ability to throw, as he couldn't plant and fure...and was a sitting duck....made it easy to defend us....We had a back-up for a reason...to be used when necessary...and we didnt Sometimes in a Grey Cup the least likely guy, or a guy coming in due to injury is a huge contributor....will never happen here tho under this current set-up I think with the Al's MBT wasn't really healthy either, so they went with the gimo who gave em the best chance

Dolegala...an experienced to an extent starter was healthy too

2022 Cup loss...a nobody inexperienced QB....a rookie for that matter came into game...and beat us...the heavy favorite..and he came in cause Dinwiddie saw they needed to make a change....not even really injury as Looney Tunes coulda still played....you dont know until you know....and a reason we have failed....ZC hurt 2 Cups....One cup 3 receivers were pointless....Biggie playing in another for no reason at all.....But we have all these starter quality backups but wouldnt trust them in the game.....piss poor coaching and that cant be denied At least Dolegala had league experience...got wins as a starter....all he needed to do was manage the game....get good coaching in the game....rely on our bread and butter...BO.....but nope....

sad part...wasnt just "this" yr....but at least he has admitted it was a pathetic failure...That's a start...can he follow thru?...Thats the million dollar question...history so far says not a chance....time will tell I guess....tho he has been given ample time already...2021 is eons ago in the sports world That is concerning and shows that last yr was likely the same thing....went into off-season/FA and into TC with no real plan at all...just figured guys would sing here...just because....things would work out...cause they did yrs ago and just follow the script and we be good...a script that failed for 3 yrs....If we just getting more the same based on that initial lil snippet...we in for some lean times Cup is over....that should be disclosed now already...can have a huge affect in guys possibly re-upping before FA or saying...I'm going tom free agancy now.....plus gives potential FA anidea also from other teams whats the deal here and time to weigh the pro' and cons...dragging our feet and or just going status quo will have us having the same kind of FA as last yr...dissapointing and a big failure

imagine that...I been saying he needed to do that how long now...pretty sad it took hi the better part of 3..4 yrs to cluethefuckin

healthy players sure...players making plays also has to do with preparedness and coaching and being put in a position to do so....any player will...and has said that.....we haven't of late coached our players very well A QB who couldnt handle the ball....let alone throw it...admittingly wouldn't lead u toa win either.. Dolegala had played in the league...garnered wins on a poorer team than us...I'm sure he could have managed the game better than whatZC gave post finger re-attachment
