Booch

he hasnt lost a step at all...and he is in way better shape than some of the other dead weight we dressed to start the season who played no snaps in pre-season...or came off injury...dude is a workout animal and exactly this...if the team didnt do their due diligence prior to bringing him in...thats just something else to add to the pile of incompetence and questionable roster moves/decisions

Yeah I think he would have been starting as well....And I still not sure what his injury even was/is....is it an ACL...if so then yeah its 2025 for him....My belief is Schoen and Haba are done for yr....Lawson I not sure was a knee....see him moving about with no issues really so not sure he had surgery...but could be wrong

basic rookie issues....especially new to the Canadian game...he was still having to think and process what he as seeing...it's clicked now and he is just reacting...and it showed in his after the catch production, and also where he was going to catch balls....I actually expect him to be even more impactful now moving forward...especially since ZC has discovered him...and we know Strev will go to who is open and not force feed guys

This is where Parker is heads and shoulders above any DB we had last yr...not anmed Nichols and right in line with Bonds this yr....Loose hips and very fluid movement flipping from back to forward and breaking with hardly needing to gear down. Guys just have that natural movement that makes them excell in coverage...and also be able to explode into a hit and close fast..All 3 have that. If you get a chance to go watch a practice and the DB's doing drills focus on that and watch Parker....so good. Much Like Denmark was as a receiver...he could make moves....cut....adjust routes to the ball in air all in stide and not having to slow up...and also had that ability to do it with a bump up in speed... Kolo tho...he is weak....he's also undersized but doesn't have the athleticism that you want/need when using an undersized center, which can make them highly effective. He also I don't think consistently makes the right calls....Something Couture excelled at. He was right out of football and nobody wanted him...and at that time some teams had baaaaad olines...reason he was on the street...we were in a pinch and needed some bodies...so we brought him in and then the inkury fairy sprinkled it's dust for him...and now Osh thinks he the cats meow....Why I dont know...he gets confused by pretty much any stunt, or defender flashing in front of him...can't stay engaged on his block very often and a lot of plays are snuffed out, or a qb is pressured by his initial block coming free and ruin the play....gets drove back into the pocket far too often which isnt good with a QB like ZC who rarely leaves it these days, and isnt a mass mover like Eli..Dobson...or Wallace...He's prob I agree the bottom center in the league.

yup...That one works too!

he definately has that old school late 80's and 90's olineman look to him...

i go in small concise bursts now haha

never under estimate a cagey ol vet....especially ones with a few loose screws lol

would have been nice to add him with some return experience if the new guy isnt cutting it...or gets hurt again....and also see what Lucky can offer in Johnson's spot...but that would make too much sense

and you are just a dumbass...guess thats settled then...on with your day muffin

well if I said you were a dumbass and talk out of ssaid ass....would you think it was a joke?

do you know me?...to make that statement? Hardly old....not even close to broken...and probably in better shape and stronger than when I played.....work as a strength and conditioning coach with NCAA athletes going to draft...I also actively still Mua Thai/Kick Box ....have 3 inches over him and 10 pounds...pretty sure I would do just fine vs anyone thank you very much but thanks for your concern

yeah...I agree...But I was just thinking of how Oshie would think...and what he would do...sacrifice talent to keep one his boi's on roster...Wallace next to Eli has the most upside of the 3 nationals...I dont include Kolo in that as he is whathe is and has no further upside...and Neuf is what he is as well..I not as critical of him here as others...switch out the center and allow him to only favour one part of the online (tackle side) you would see a huge difference...he didnt have to favour hardricks end before so could compensate for Kolo...Now he has 2 guys he needs to kind of babysit...and well...we see the results was gonna say...this has gone on...all the tenure of Osh...He has his fav's and they play...whether they the best option or not....It's going on still this yr....Kolo...Thomas...Kramdi...BA...Biggie...what other team in the league would Kolo start on..Likely none...and likely be hard pressed to be the 6th olineman...Same with Thomas...He may get rostered but who would playhim 90% of the reps...nobody...Kramdi wouldnt start anywhere else...Biggie...maybe but I bet he would be a role player...not an everydown guy...same with BA... Not sure why the switch....especially with like mentioned...zero live reps...if anything have both on...and MCI....Why yank him after 2 really solid games and our run game showed from it...unless he is hurt...not sure what always hurt Hallett gives us considering he has played probably 8 snaps in 3 yrs here...when we we losing Osh keeps everything as is...but we won a couple and he switching guys out...Jones and Garbutt are solid and I like...Hopefully Jones isnt just standing on sidelines all game save for ST's tho...

move Thomas to PR or 6 game him...He isnt the future, and Schmeck needs the reps to see if he is the future to back up Lawson...Him or Samson...Having Thomas eating up reps is just blocking the progression and or assessment of the other 2 younger DT's....not letting us even see if they are a option for a succession plan in 2025 and beyond...or if we need to draft/trade for or find a new player This is where we have failed miserably under Osh the last 3 yrs for any linebacker prospects... DT's...DE's...safety....we just clung to aging and underwhelming "vets" who Osh liked...and look where we at now...no depth in any of those spots...and no idea of who can take over...DT is kind of a spot where we can be really good with 3 of the current imports we have, if we actually used them all for 80% of reps and went away from having to think we need to always have a national on the dline...cause we dont...and we are a lot stronger when we go all import...but Osh gonna Osh can he can and Management is letting him...or so we assume....who rwally knows what the dynamics are there and if their friction...from what I hear and know....it's all not unicorns and rainbows

I eat bacon too!

I'll go all Tanya Harding on him at the gym then ...for the Forum....I'd do Jake as well but never ever see him training lol...I take beers...ceasars and porter house steaks as form of payment/appreciation....and I will film it as well just for funnsies and proof!

Yeah thats overkill...and MCI and Clercius are capable in a TE set If dropping Wallace allows us to bring on Kelley...or any other Canadian that would play teams and be used for more than 3..4 snaps a game then we better off. We list jake as an 8th olineman..well make him the 7th now...and stand there all game for his 3..4 snaps....fixes 2 things with one swift roster move...Gives us another Teamer...and takes him out of the dline equation lol

we always seem to run well against Sask...Don't see that changing...expect a few defensive changes this week too for us...so thats gonna cause patterson issues

yeah he been battling something for a while...I have only watched the one rider game last week...how has he looked until then...worth the bags of money?..I would assume no?

Schoen likely won't be ready for start of season..so if we want all 3...we will have all 3 I'd bet next yr we will run Lawler..Demski..Woli..Wilson (if this wasn't a flash in the pan) and heavy Clercius and a T.B.D 5th guy...Schoen when ready but if not who knows...is wheatfall in the pic...one game doesn't cement him in as for sure...a diff rookie...heck maybe even Lucky if he shows this yr he has value. Guarantee it will be Schoen when he's ready..and maybe he will be for start...he also off a season ender injury won't be collecting as big a salary as he could have as well...so that will help

good question....Tho I would prefer Wilson stay put as when he on his game is one of best Wil's in the league If this Jones was brought on to off-set some of Biggies reps....then he makes the better choice...be interesting to see how he is used

It's pretty obvious by just watching who has been whiffing the most....and interestingly enough all 4 are Osh's bois....now do we see something done about it?...a team looking to be beter definately would Wilson has been playing great the last 2 games...and really wan't all that bad before that...so really no issues there as he seems to be back to form

YEAH...To me that seems like a season ender...and with that frame and weightt...age...be a hard thing to come back from in general...he gonna have to be really diligent about his diet too being immobile for an extended period

wonder if by strange...he means not necessarily a injury that should have kept him out....just some effect of our lame roster decisions

plus Bonds is 28 as well....and been around football a while...and it shows in his play...The "needing" all these vets is a lil over blown....the team is chalk full of vets on both sides of the ball and on ST's BA can be serviceable as a nice piece...Thomas and Biggie are easily replaced, and wouldnt be missed really for their contribution on the field...Let Biggie do the Mike Miller thing this yr, and be available in a pinch
