guess we will see once camp breaks who Osh has decided....I don't necessarily mean starter....but a guy who gets on roster and gets lotsa reps over....anyone who's better and or not required for ratio purposes in a rotation\ Be interesting when attending camp to see the talent/upside....usefulness of players...and who gets the shaft this yr But I would say if Schmeck shows no development/and or effectiveness, and is rostered just cause he been here a few yrs now...thats a classic Osh maneuvered and isn't giving us our best roster O'd say Kramdi needs to be head and shoulders better than Makonzo as well in order to get majority of reps if we go National at SAM....And again....putting an import there (Griffin/Parker/possible new guy) would give us a better roster but we know we won't.....But Makonzo when he played the position as a rookie showed more...and has better skill set

My knock on Dobson is he looked almost lost after his initial engagement....and in second level....correctable?...you would think...but maybe we tried with him all yr working on things and he just wasnt progressing.??..who knows That being said Kolo was no help at all with chips an tandems....also was genrally over matched 90% of time so that may have been part of it too as him not being able to get to second assignment and it hamperd our guards...has for several yrs now and a change there with even just an average center would fix so many things that seem like issues on the oline BUT.......Osh just loves Kolo and it's mainly his fascination with guys...especially Canadian ones who are under dogs....lack top tier talent...and any kind of upside but try hard and are for whatever reason ticke his fancy....and it hurts us...all through his tenure here we have rostered 1..2 guys who have no business being starters...let alone even in the mix for anything....and again this yr...barring seson ending injury my guess is we are gonna have to deal with 2..maybe 3 guys again who aren't the best option....but are Osh's option

Totally agree....and in Ford was a guy we didn't need to meet ratio, had guys in house already to replace him and his price would have been an anchor and raped us elsewhere. He is easily replaced at that corner spot with just as good...or even better production at well over half the cost.....the allure of him being Canadian is all fine and dandy and a nice story....somepeople just love that....but if he was an import player playing that spot...and similar or even better production...he'd have been just another top tier corner...no loss really If we can stabilize our interior dline...with impact guys....guys who are active and athletic...and can play multiple techniques...and minimize and or elominate reps for the inferior Canadians not named Lawson we be cooking...as our back end is gonna be tight this yr....better than last I bet If Person can step out at camp...like I think he will....Vaughters would be the perfect guy to spell him and WJ off...and not be relied on to absorb too many snaps and keep him and WJ fresh....interested to see how Younger evolves his system

I agree on Kelly...didnt include him as seen him as an already somewhat established guy...although limited in time here he has showed huge skill already and even higher upside....Love if he could grab that safety spot...he closes like a missile and has real good instincts already for a young guy...huge upside and we don't need a thumper at safety Totally forgot about Makonzo....big under radar signing...he showed real good at SAM before he got hurt as a rookie....better than our guy Kramdi and he still has immense upside...Kramdi I don't see anymore upside...and he isnt as athletically gifted as Makonzo either I'd like to see Kramdi is the versatile swiss army guy who can take reps behind both Kelley and Makonzo (if he back to 100 percent health) and be that huge depth piece who can also start if need be Griffin is the ace in hole I think and wonder what they do with him....I'd like to see him....or Parker at SAM....and whoever gets beat out can fill either corner or HB.....Both those guys have extreme athleticism for the roles and are actually guys who cover well and close on guys in space like a magnet...and are real good tacklers...Kramdi is horrible in coverage...gets lost in space and isnt a good open field tackler...he's fine in a scrum and crashing down in the box playing more of a spy/contain role.....but as a SAM....who should be one your better cover guys and tacklers and have greasy fluid hips to range around and flip his hips to cover a guy...and in that role you may be responsible for a teams #1 or 2 slot...he's just not that guy....he just isnt Go to any practice and when db's/lb's do techical work.... and watch Parker move...pivot...shift outta backpeddle to pursuit....smooth as smooth.....He's got that ability that Denmark had to move/cut/pivot at top speed and not have to gear down....then watch Kramdi.....and you will see my point...And it's not that I hate Kramdi and dont want him on the team....it's more his role...or what it should be...and his price tag for what he offers is a bit of a hinderance to us

High impact, or guys on Bombers who should be looked at as key Canadians to build around, and be front and center for securing/maintaining the foundation should be Lawson, Clercius and Wallace as guys who should take the next step....and will be key factors......to a lesser extent MCI who I hope is being coached and groomed to be a more utilized weapon in not only the heavy sets...Athleticism and metrics used in evaluating/combines he blows away pretty much any skilled position guy we have....hopefully we don't waste and ***** his progression as just a teamer guy and actually coach him along...guy could be real stud With Jarius here I see that as a real bonus for guys like Clercius..MCI and Logan...even to a lesser extent with Demski That 3down article was just a lazy piece with zero DD done for it...par for the course tho so shouldn't be surprising

sorry that you dont like to hea about a wasted spot on a guy not worthy of a spot....but 301 now lol

AS long as the heir achy works that way...and Walter's plays boss and nips that in the bud....my opionion and from things I hear...Osh at times feels he;'s the boss...we shall see

I wouldnt count our eggs before they hatch..Biggie is as of yet unsigned by anyone...lives and works here....so does Osh....add that up and I bet we get a smoozy press release announcing his return...can almost book that

yeah its not a personal attack on the guy...or just a dislkike....he's well past his usefulness....he never really was uber usefull at his peak....if he had one...rotated in back in the day...but we coulda prob evebn then had a better guy in his role too Biggie...great player but he got his well deserved criticism and if anything should have been a lil less by us as fans as even tho he was a shell of what he was...he still would make impactfull plays in and around his decining play...JT doean't....really never did Criticism generally gets applied on when a guys skills have eroded...or gys who seem to have none....and rightfully so....If a person in the real world starts to decline and not get the job done anymore...or is a detriment to the team...they get walking papers.....same should happen in the Bombers Orbit

he needs to write a book "I owe Osh ....Huge....how I took advantage of ineptness to play well past my usefulness an extra decade"

Rourke would be the dumbest and most useless pick to use on a flyer...The allure of a Canadian QB also shouldn't be prioritized....like why?.....may as well put time into Dolebanana as he gives the same thing as Rourke would up here...maybe more if he can clean up his issues with ball security within the pocket Take a flier on a dlineman or a legit O-line guy....it's pretty easy if your scouting group is up to snuff and you have the connections down south to pin point several guys who will be here within 2..3 yrs...There are several in this draft who fall right into that scenario Hopefully we focus more on guys with legit upside...even ability now to slide in as a "real" back-up if need be or actually push for a legit workload as opposed to our penchant for trying to find this "steal" of a pick for giys who excel at teams....and amount to nothing more....any pro can play teams if thats what their role is gonna be right outta the gate...that issue there is a huge reason why we have a bare cupboard, and in recent yrs when injuries came up we had nothing and preferred to trot out gimps...geriatrics and never were's as fill-ins...sadly we didnt even have sub par guys to plug in and choose to play guys who should not have even made the trip

what about the yr before?...and why not give reps to a young guy with upside to develop....with future if reps should be limited...or give those reps last yr to one of Woods..Fox..Adama when a National on the dline wasnt required for ratio>,,,,Osh just thinks Jake is the cats vaginey for what ever reason and he is wrong about it...plain and simple....If Jake was an import...he's never get a sniff.... which happened way too much last yr.....wayyyy too much Lawson at half of what he was gives more than Thomas....fact of the matter.....if we start Krma again...and run 6 on offence....we dont require a constant Natuional on the dline anyway....especially like last yr when we had 2 guys on roster who were prob 2 worst nationals in the league....and got way too many reps If your gonna waste reps on guts, use it on young guys...Like Samson or any other guy you could have drafted...traded for or picked up off the scrap heap and see if they develop into a productive guy or a guy with upside Heck...we scrap heaped with Kolo who absolutely nobody wanted for 2 yrs ...is undersized....has no exceptional skill to off-set it and just keeps playing and playing....I guess if you are an average at best Canadian who came from a Canadian school and are not highly touted....you have currency with Oshea just watch this yr again....you will see these options....him being washed out and or moved to a spot the oline wants....tippy toe jogging up to the play well after it's over and glad handing with who made the play....the play flying past him as he doesn't have the athleticism or aerobic capacity to get there" and rep after rep of him gasping for life as he gets to the line and has to use his free hand to prop up his head on his facemask in 3 poinbt stance so as not to topple over...and then being late off the snap....

Meddling rarely is succesfull...For all the good Doman is doing...ythat was a major gaff

All that overpaying only to have Campbell sabotage it all wrecking the room and dividing his team with the Rourke nonesense...if only he would have said Rourke is number 2 while he gets readjusted and is there if Vaj can't play or really shats the bed

I believe she just thought he was the one...so I hear lol

Actually I believe grant did 20...or 22....and that was at 177 pounds....He did more at Rutgers pro day than some lineman and linebackers....Gus Edwards their RB as well...Grant is crazy strong...Agudosi told me that in training he would just amaze the strength and conditining staff and players...and was so ow key about *** too he actually is very flexible and quick.....worked out with him a lot...he actually in season does a ton of plyometric style lifts...and static holds against resistance in a squat rack with no actual weight on the bar but maintains force against the pins...part odf reason he has never really been hurt

People don't realize how good it really is...it's not in your neighborhood..oh well if u a fan you will go Maybe some should go to a game in many of the NFL and Ncaa venues...with some with minimal parking...or the high cost parking...the logistical nightmares of some places...the 3 hour round trip to go to a game...some in bad neighborhoods....then reflect on their sojourn to games here and realize ...hey...it's not that bad after all The city is growing to south anyway..so in due time majority of fans will be close

I didnt ***** and complain...and a lot of people I know didnt either.....as well "everyone" didnt either....the people who used to live closer bitched and moaned....their convenience just shifted to it being convenient for others... Anywhere u put a stadium it's gonna be across the city for half the fanbase...if not more....and parking at old place wasnt ideal either.....The logistics of the bussing was a ball drop by the team and the city and the city and there is way more actul parking at new stadium than at old.....Karen is gonna Karen regardless....Karen

yeah....I agree ouch hahahaha I only take issue with lack of education and knowledge and lickers who lick with no backing on it other than ya buts hahaha hahahaha....we good....Your point counter point is based on functional discussion and actual legit reasoning...not the yeah but we went to 5 grey cups garbilly goop tripe as per my post....particularly in-season its now a more functional strength approach and exercises to make body move and function optimally

Sports specific and actually agility/range of motion and functional strength are more key now and what we look at and focus on....as well as explosive strength. People shouldn't get it wrong and that true weight lifting and putting on mass...lean mass...isnt important now...it is....but things have shifted toward more usefull mass. Thats why the 225 bench is kinda ...meh and and not a true indicator of strength and explosive power...more a muscle endurance metric, and really how often are you gonna be doing say a move ...like a punch or true bull rush 15 to 30 times in a row...and in a span of 30 seconds? Seen it time and time again that a 29 rep guy has less power and brute force as the guy who put up say 15 to 20 reps...the lower rep guy most times too can in a 1RM out press a lot of the high rep guys...mainly due to way more effective fast twitch recruitment and in football...especially in the trenches is way more valuable....and we can effectively train guys to hit this and actually get them to recruit a higher percentage of fast twitch As for juicers a pretty easy tell tale sign of it is overly developed traps and neck and really capped shoulders and overall yoke.....Fore arms are a good sign an jaw/face...and the fact they get knicked....a lot....Not saying Toilette is but that nice masking beard, and the fact he always on the limp....as C and C Music factory said...are "things that make you go hmmmm" lol That being said dropping a significant amount of fat tho can give you the appearance of being bigger...and in a pic all by one self and no reference point....ie: another person in the shot can also be deceiving...tho true monsters in a pic look massive...and in person scary...I used to train with Paul Dillett in T.O and MTL ....and pics didnt do him justice....dude was a freak....If you dont know who he is have a google If Toilette is 200 pounds....good luck with that as he was marginally effective as his weight allowed him to be a bull....he lacks speed and finesse...and will prob get beat up more thn ever now....9 games maybe his max....11 if lucky

we already have lost 3 in a row....and shown no ability in all 3 to stray from the pattern od failure...that killed us... lure of new stadium was reason for that people dont put enough emphasis on the amount of pull they allow Osh to have on who he says he wants...and doesnt want...and who he refuses to move on from....Heirachy here is a bit outta whack at times and seems that the guy who should over rule...hasnt been well...was on oppposite end of where lotsa people lived before too....and in a dump...that argument has no weight at all

He was until he got benched ..for real reason...and if it was done due to performance there were probably 3..4 others as well who should have seen the pine...and how's a young guy with serious upside supposed to develop...it's not by benching him and definitely not by playing 2..3 other guys in front of him with inferior skil set and no upside

YOU wouldnt have to rebuild...if you had a solid roster....not much would be needed...and safe to say we do....its how you use said roster, and organizationally how we do business....wouldnt change...so yes we'd be just fine Mike Oshea....all th good and positive he brings...he isn't the BlueBombers and sucess dies without him...nope I played for nice guy coaches...who after 7..8 yrs and not evolving....started to slide...and then fade out with a firing...and life went on...teams had success...some even better success....not a shot at Oshea...just a fact of pro sports coaching....every damn one has a shelf life whether people wanna believe or not...and many have been let go to the shock and shagrin of fans...media....it happens...and it will here too...its not being a hater...just reality...and another flop this yr with same themes as last 3....its time nobody saying right now....but I wouldn't even consider an extension for him till after the season is over....and more of the same....why would we?...and maybe that unknown and possibility of a non rehire would be the elixir needed to have a bit of a shift on how he manages some things...and a bad attitude and less than optimal effort because he didnt get rewarded a new deal prior to current expiring is good reason to also walk away....like a player has to...earn your next payday...no player is gonna get premium pay based on 5 yrs ago work when he has shown decline in the last 2..3...same goes for a coach

he needs to be more intrusive and not worry about the "nice guy" mystique and take control at times...It's part of the job....Our unwillingness for anyone...be it HC ..GM or even prez step in and if anything just say "why" to some of our decisions has ultimately cost us 3 Cups...and before anyone says "yeah but injuries"...well dressing hurt guys...not pulling guys who got hurt and not replacing them in game....and unwillingness to adjut to the game flow...instead just keep hammering away with a flawed scheme and showing no faith in any back-ups to step in...and step up...killed us...and was a conscious decision by...at end of the day..the HC....It's okay to bench guys...replace hurt guys....tell a co-ord to get his **** together or he gonna take control..... or ...maybe the wise ones can look at it a different way eh?...Who the eff keeps a coach in place who has failed in 3 straight championships...for reasons that were common in all 3?...there is that angle as well when head is pulled out of sand and blue glass removed If we were to move on and replace our HC....And due diligence was used in picking one...who is not a moron....an assbag...or Chris Jones...we will be just fine...maybe better...we wouldnt fall off a cliff....

the HC job is to control whats going on...and if things are not Going to plan...figure out why...and do what needs to be done to adjust.....to suggest a HC has no control or say over what is occurring is just false on maNy levels...and an HC who just relies/depends on any coach under him with zero say about it....or no desire to correct things is just a bad HC then....Not sure what some of you'all are watching...or what your knowledge of things are football wise past The pop warner level but the success, and failure of a team....NCAA and or Pro falls directly at the feet of the HC as he controls the narrative...the roster...and the important decisions in a game....and not to be rude but any suggestion other wise is just complete BS Yes I will add a successful HC is basically a product of a savvy G.M and Co-Ordinator's and positional coaches under his employ...and basically he does almost minimal actual work save for the in game decisions ...that being said the exceptional one's will also step in and over ride...make a call and yes...step on toes of people...assistant coaches and players when they just aren't getting it done
