Booch

exactly....its not a wholesale change...and we have pieces already on roster....just not used....

i'm still shocked we didnt see him flail away with an attempt at his legs...miss badly and then lay there prone on the ground as Patterson galloped away to make a pass....or gain 30 yards

ask Osh...I sure we will get the same lame response...based on his denials....veiled excuses and his bias of certain players.....sadly this holds true in many positional spots as well....totaly giving us what we see We like who we have in the building...Thats why they are here...well....some in the building are way past their best before....and some are not worthy of the role they were given...I say given as opposed to earned, as thats what it has been, so right there thats a pretty good indicator that either a) our coach really lacks the ability to properly assess talent or b) he is really hindering this team with personal favorites , and I guess we can throw c) in here as well...thathe is just utterly clueless/oblivious And if we like all these guys so much...why doesn't another player get a chance to show they can do better??... As I see it, a change at MLB...Safety...SAM and going majority reps on Dline would totally revamp this defence Obtaining and using an actual legit punter, and either sticking with one legit returner (Smith...and let him grow into it)...or finding a legit one...be it proven Chandler Worthy...Trading for a guy like Leake....or scout one...as other teams seem to find them....and our ST's would be top notch, as our cover issues seem to be solved Start on offence with a change at center with already in the house ELI and go from there...I bet that alone would make a world of difference...and if it doesnt totally solidify it change the deck chairs at guard until it works Strev needs to get legit/serious reps as an actual full QB...especially in games where ZC looks like trash...which is often now....to see if he can be a legit number one and someone to build around...or if he needs to be the change of pace 1b and short yardage/special package guy...an ideal backup. Lawler when back should be in with Whitehead and allow us to let Wilson grow with less pressure on him to be "the guy"....let him grow and develop...People seem to think the Whitehead signing was all meh...and that he is lost it...but he adds a ton of value and versatility to what we could do...plus he is a nice option as a backup returner too....or used in tandem Theres some easy/simple tweaks we can do right now....on the fly that would turn thigs around significantly, and also allow us to bring in new blood and evaluate as we go...this yr...but when we have a stubborn ol smug HC who is basically doing the My way or the Hiway" approach...it seems like a tall order to get done without some upper management intervention 3 minor personell tweaks...and a change in how we roll out our dline philosophy would would have immense changes to how we look on defense....no question about that at all

We can run all import dline for every snap if we choose...in varying combos....we dont need a Canadian Dline guy.....We need 1 canadian on defence...thats it....and if we actually used the Nationalized rule we would have even more flex Osh chooses to use sub par guys at DT....and at Times end with Hubert...no knock on him but he is far from ready to be a fulltime contributor...he also is of the belief that Krmdi is some all-star and needs to be on the field for all the reps when we can easily put a better...and cheaper optiuon there that is an Import....just poor poor use off assets and SMS money Thomas really has no business even being here other than on PR or 6 gamed in the scenario where we are absolutely gutted by injury...Biggie and BA too.....they are not the future, they definately should not be considered an optiojn in any role for 2025...and really they are hardly the now...we just stagnating any player development to succeed them, or allowing ourselves to evaluate guys on our PR this yr to see if they worth keeping and developing Good point in McGhee..They figured he was the dude this yr soley cause they held him all last yr...yet Bonds..Griffen..Bridges all surpassed him and made roster...we still have Parker who may factor in...yet we keep him on PR using up a spot...why not delete him and bring in a new guy to evaluate....That can be said of a lot of our PR guys the last few yrs...clung to guys for several yrs, when they could never make the roster, and then they just dumped to start the process over again....its pretty pathetic when u look at how we have managed things

I'd take him over ZC right now to be honest

well if they focused on winning this yr...as well as next....playing a number of guys as legit front liners the way we are won't get it done...and just puts us further behind the curve for 2025

I like how you hve touched on this, as I have said before even tho they talk about how tight they are...the culture..etc....outwordly.....inwardly i gets to a point where a core group of players will get very disenchanted, and like you said almost start to become more for me...than we...when they see certain players get preferential treatment, and play ahead of guys who rightfully should be taking majority of reps...or are coach's fav's...I've seen it/played within it first hand where it is the ultimate way to divide a room...and I see it happening here last yr already....and It's also a coach killer...self inflicted mind you...but their demise Yeah Osh has won some games....we got to 4 Cups...tho lost 2 right at the feet of him...and will say again as others have also come to see now that we won a lot despite what Osh was doing...because we had elite guys in their prime that glossed over a lot of the real dumb decisions...we don't have that now...plus the lack of forward thinking and planning has us extremely bare in a lot of positions for any succession plan, and a few of our contracts we are stuck with barring a trade or out right release is gonna hamper us even being able to make say 2..3 bigger moves in free-agency next yr to fix that...seeing as our HC has no inclination whatsoever to allow any yhoung guys take over and show that they are it.... It's a what have you done for me lately and 2+ yrs now has been a HC who is oblivious to the situation, and almost doing things to the detriment of the squad soley on his personal biases....so to say there now way we would move on from him...especially if he shows no plan to change his ways, is a fail by Walter's and Miller....There are a lot of coaches out there who we could hire and we would be just fine....Osh isnt the be all end all of HC's....sometimes things just run their course no...we are setting ourselves ujp for epic collapse next yr clinging onto 2019-2021

I dunno where they were...none the less it was a stupid play all around..I'm more shocked than anything Biggie made the hit...and didn't whiff

Based on what we saw from 2 rookie recievers there should be no excuse for Whitehead to be in for Johnson....and Case...I don't see the reasoning there either...or the potential with a wr in the mold of what we already have in Demski...and what would be Whitehead...I'd have Smith back on and integrate him more into the offence...he is excellent at catching the ball and we tried to make McRae a thing last yr...all yr...whereas Smith has a way better skill set

I of opinion that's what u get...he could have slid and went down...took snap and ran to his endzone...many things...he was trying to take a shot to score...and got appropriate consequence....could Biggie have let up a bit...sure....should he have...no...why? If you wanna try and rub salt in the wound you get exactly what he got If it was reversed and we did something stupid like that I'd call us out as well for putting our qb at risk on a pointless play

Nothing..he freely admits the players and roster are not an issue...more it's focus..discipline and being assignments sound...again tho is that not on the HC to get it right? He's failing us miserably... That would help immensely with qb pressures...better run defwnce...but Osh gonna Osh as we hemorrhage game after game..cause he believes his choices make sense

He not sheltering anything tho...he defends bad players...and is doing some bad coaching He believes nothing is wrong with his players...

A gun needs to be held to osh too with some his roster choices Yup Why would they think that based on how/why we lost last 2 cups...and how he is managing this season??

Yup

If Strev is put in...and allowed to play QB in our offense I have more than enough confidence that he would perform well with some.minor wrinkles and tweaks to allow his run threat to cause defenses to pick their poison. And he has that ability to make something from nothing with his legs when he "has" to...but not focus the scheme around him running. Lawler back...Wilson to not be "the guy" insert Whitehead as he has value in multiple looks and can take some the sweep..or sweep looks from Demski and allow him to find space down the field....Whitehead also knows the spots to go when plays break down or there is a full on blitz which would be immense help...I'd have Smith back on and also see reps with multiple moving parts in motion with BO and Demski...Whitehead and Strevs threat...cater the system to what you have and stop forcing stuff like we been U roll out Bo with Lawlwer..Demski..Woli...Lucky and Wilson with Strev running things...no reason we can't be productive on offence

he is only signed for this yr correct?...same with Thomas?...Kolo?...BA?...I think Walters and Miller need to remove the possibility for this to occur by not re-signing them....Re-consider the HC spot too....and I'm not even kidding with that comment

the young guys don't even get a chance to make an impact...be it positive or negative so we don't even know what we got...or if we need to bring in new bodies. Smith didnt nothing wrong other than not break a run for a TD...always got positive yardage...secured every kick....and offers a lot to the offence (but alas didnt get a snap) Case was underwhelming an ordinary...what was the point? We have some horses up front to make a difference on defense but the Coach feels the need to play Jake pretty much every snap...and again...they get no real chance to make an impact....let alone get in a groove in a game If a player...rookie...or just new to us made the whiffs game in and game out now going on 2 yrs now...they would be replaced...but not Osh's vets...why is that? How do they not see it over and over on game tape ?...When is Younger gonna say...enough is enough and gimme some legit play makers...let me run all imports on defense save for Ford...gimme the best possible athletes....instead of being saddled with Osh's Boi's....who havnt been getting it done since 2022

He would say he not "ready" yet...or "in game shape" but then why was Case put in...same with Biggie..Schoen...Bailey..Demski last yr in Grey Cup...this yr to open season with guys who nebwr played a lick....in they go Osh will.play his favs and his boi's regardless...With no rhyme nor reason for it....And more times than not it isn't in the overall best for team...same with not using the Nationalized rule...he doesn't like it...voted against it...and lost...so this is his statement to the rest of the league...to the detriment of the team...he has 10 yrs here...time to go...it happens all the time..this isn't unique to us

Yup...ZC needs to be on short leash..but osh will tell anyone who will listen that ZC is the elite QB in the league...and he's not...Osh is seriously 90 percent of the problem here...and it started festering in 2022...and here we are

You have to earn it...prove it..and sustain it...Osh is just showing how clueless he is ZC ..BA...Biggie..Thomas...Kolo...to lesser extent Kramdi...even Holm this yr...the first 5 definitely need to prove they are still elite...and for 2 yrs now all have been regressing...2 of them shouldn't even be on the roster...Osh needs to pull his head out of his 2021 arse and wake the eff up Same with how he uses the talent he has on roster...you can't tell me a healthy rotation...steady reps for WJ..Garbutt..Adams...woods and Fox when healthy wouldn't make a huge difference on QB pressures and run defence than one or.two of them...and loads and loads of Thomas...schmeckle and rookie Hubert...that right there is a easy and quick fix...but his stubborn smug face won't do it...no excuse for it...none

They need to make the hard look at who is not gonna be in the plans ...or shouldn't be in the plans for 2025 and onward now and start that purge...clinging onto some guys...or not even allowing any new guys any opportunity to just see any reps and if they may be part of the future...or not...is just pointless and bad managing. Time to look at age...and performance or lack there of on our roster now and make those prudent moves...that's why they getting paid the big bucks as well and much like ZC and some others here...if they not earning that money...get out the scissors and snip snip

I seriously don't think osh knows how to coach..he did fine with top talent..in their prime who ran the room...it was wedged between his first 3...4 yrs and now...when he doesn't have that luxury...and other teams improved and added new talent...and the record reflects it. His interviews...he has no answers...he doesn't address anything..he has no real clue what to say...or how to critique it

He's not busted up...our HC is of the belief ZC is best in the league.. he says it all the time...that's why he stays in Time to let Strev play "quarterback" and not a bull in China shop

Or his MLB...a dt...safety...also his Sam isn't best choice...his punter is garbage...his center is weak...what else??
