I have to agree...if Collaros stayed in...wouldnt have went to O.T....and prob been a worse loss as he would have still tried to force feed balls to 2 guys...as well have zero escapability and been sacked likely 3 more times...and thrown a bad pic

Yes he is well connected and has a lot of experience..he'd be my guy as opposed to a recycled guy..

Personally I would go with Darryl Patterson...he has respect of players..and nice combo of some the older school coaching exposure but relates to players now. I liked what and where he came from in the States prior to coaching up here and is as close to a Richard Harris type as you will find...a man I had great respect for...and too bad he never got his chance as he would have been a long tenured and loved HC

I think for most part you as GM should trust in your HC making the right decisions...you don't want a meddling G.M for most part...but I think now...or would hope ongoing the dynamics are going to be different...and I heard a rift too...like months of no talking...which is odd

Ouch

There is lots I like and will comment on...but I am also not an idiot and boot licker...and been around the game a long time..in various capacities...and still am...and when I see for a lack of a better word "stupid" stuff going on I will say it. And not to say I told you so...but last yr already...actually even late 2022 I started on this.. and to say we need to be very wary/careful cause i could see what's coming..and where it may lead us...and lots u all laughed...mocked it...etc..etc...well here we are...I have seen this and been part of it first hand so was very obvious to me...and a few others No clue tho what u talking about in regards to some fan wanting to be coach..I don't recall that. That being said I know if I was handed the reigns in Jan 2024 we'd be sitting at 3-1 right now at minimum

Be nice for Ham to win to keep redblacks closer to us as it looks like our playoff hope may be via cross over right now

Yup..and it's so obvious too..I can see Kolo makes bad calls too...there was a reason he was on the street for 2 yrs before we grabbed him

Well said...like I mentioned too...our coaching is killing us...and I truly don't think osh is a good coach...good manager when he had top end talent and solid vets to run the room and self police...but when he doesn't have that...yrs before 2019...and post 2023...he isn't very good at actually coaching his team...or assessing talent and building a roster...proof is in the pudding...we won a lot of games and had success in spite of him...based on the aforementioned talent supplied to him Exactly...adequate...average...doesn't cut it...I don't care who it is...you need to continually be getting better...and finding pieces...and replacing others...or you get what we have seen developing..and now in full on effect...injuries are an excuse...and if we had already been developing and transitioning..they wouldn't have really been an issue Yup...u need to earn a job...then continue to hold it from it being taken from you...that doesn't happen here...for 3 ..4 yrs now If a player is clearly better than guy in front of him...he should play...plain and simple regardless if he is a loved favorite...or a tenured vet...too many awarded roster spots here and less talented guys playing as they are HC favs under oshea

He is obviously listening to Osh's recommendations tho...and I don't think Osh uses the right factors to justify his assessments. Time for Walter's now to over rule...You can bet your life the discussions were had...ZC or Dru Brown and Osh pushed and said ZC is the guy...and I sure that happened on many players...and now it's killing us. Crappy part...isn't ZC garuanteed a big amount for 2025? That's gonna totally hamstring us next yr and basically ensure he's back..

It's both...stupidity....and staunch Canadiana...he was the only...if not one the only who voted against the nationalized American rule too...so in his stubborn way refused to use it.

I wish we had an Ameeican HC...as we would not have to be dealing with this....to this extreme...

I was gonna ay...Nichols was playing out of his mind...then I realized he was neing used like a SAM should...what a difference....I'm sure Kramdi is a nice dude..says the right thing....is all about the cuture..blah blah blah....but talent wins h=games....he not starter talent yeah...he did....and I think with reduced reps...certain packages and role...he's be cats-ass as the DA/Nationalized American...his days as the defacto guy are behind him....but he could be a valuable role guy...used on ST's....

strev basically had to work out rust and get re-acclimated to being a QB as he wasn't allowed to do any of it until he got put in...and as you saw...once he calmed down...realized he wasn't just trying or having to run guys over...he looked way different....and that was with 3 receivers who are so green....throw him out there with 4 guys who have exoerince....and you will see a big difference...especially with teams having to respect his running...use him in pocket...sprint outs...botlegs...etc....some legit option stuff....and then we cooking with fire....I'd give him the Ottawa start....

sad part...we have playmakers tho....they just dont get the chance..Imagine what Adams/Fox/Woods would do, and plays they could make if they got Thomas and Hubert reps?....Saw way too many series with exlusive Thomas and Hubert.....and then we have Kramdi...and Biggie and BA out there too.....way to cripple a defence Just look back to the pre-seson games and first of the yr when we saw a lot of heavy use of Fox..Woods..Admas...and how active they were...and the disruption they created...the energy....and go watch the last 3 games?....good god....just garbage Once Garbutt...FOx...are healthy...there no reason we shouldn't see heavy heavy rotation of different looks of WJ/Garbutt/Fayed and Woods/Adams/Fox....I would continue with Hubert as a higher use rotation as he of our 3 Canadians looks the best, and I see some serious upside there...Replace Thomas with Jake Kelley when he ready and find out between Schmeck and Samson who can do the job until Lawson comes back Find a real SAM...Who is impactful...Be it 90% Cole....Parker when/if he gets back or even Griffen...I liked what he brought...Kramdi isn't the answer...only is Osh's mind...Guys who can tackle....have the athleticism to cover/recover....actually make impacts other than tackles after the catch crap....or tackles after having to chase a guy down....

we didnt need to start 10....but Osh will cause..well he Osh...even if they not the best option...or have the most skill....He is killing us with his lack of urgency...his desire to play sub par guys...and his inability to actually coach things up....and then he goes and handicaps his roster with oor choices...and viola....u get what we see...and it's been comiong for 2+ yrs I'm not as negative on the Lucky signing as many here...people act like he is 38 yrd old and a marginal athletic guy....polar opposite to that...he knows the league..the db's...he knows the spots to go...and can still take top off a defence and garner attention....Plus he can also return if need be...and be better than anything we have had since Grant got hurt last yr, and be a good mentor to Smith...I like the signing...and you know he will come in and bring some badly needed heart and fire....and prove he still has it Beggars cant be chooser's here...and I just wish our staff and management got serious and managed like a legit organization...surveyed the scene and realized...Thomas...Ba...Kolo....even Biggie aren't the future here....and won't have any impact for 2025 and cut em lose now before we cant due to salaries being gauranteed.....I would DA Biggie for his leadeship and abiity to be a nice rotation piece and in game back-up but the time is now to incorporate the new blood and let them find thier way...hanging on to this glut of washed up crap is pointless...and has us 0-4....I would also stop the excessive Canadians starting and high reps experiment (Kramdi/Schmeck) and actually use impactful talent and let them make impacts....

an cant tackle worth ****....he is the worst SAM in the league....nobody would play him like we do...but Osh gonna Osh i do.....and he is sub par....any guy with tons of reps will make some plays...it's the ones he doesn't...and cant...and the after the fact tackles....guy is not starter material...no way...no how.....only here with Osh's distorted thinking and evaluation he is

Strev did just fine with what he had to work with..and his first real qb reps all yr

Was right read on the pic...just too.much heat to get it out far enough

ZC would have ate a sack there or threw a pic

Strev doing fine here with 3 raw rookies...who are quite confused out there...what would he look like with Lawler and schoen

On positive note...Strev settling in...looking less amped and making throws...with reps and in the actual offense...he will be more than serviceable

That's hot

But our coach thinks our slugs are all grade A players tho...that's part of problem

They have enough sitting on the 6 game...u can also can Thomas...and a few others and go with the youth...and better players
