Agree....They days of a heavy hitting safety are long gone....and Holm has next to no physicality at HB and the range he has and ability to cover from distance would love to see him at safety...he be a perfect guy for that and I could see him with Deqouy in Mtl level picks...if not more As for the DC for once no real issue...for what we have on the PR is bestwe can do....Griffin is fine for Nichols as he has experience..Bonds is legit...and once Nichols is good to go would love to see a Bonds..Nichols...Griffin...Ford backfield with Holmboy at safety and BA a DI who can swing in for reps at safety...dime...wherever Woulda liked to see Johnson tho get a shot at WR...And if anything a switch at center...just to see....BO on tho if not 100 percent is just dumb...especially now with Smith on the roster....let him heal and give another guy a shot to show something

and we may not always agree and squabble....but thats what discussion and debate is

2021....is now basically 4 seasons ago now...things change...we havn't.....resting on laurels...or past success.....gets you...well where we are teetering right now....the encouraging part minor tweeaks to lineup...minor changes in philosophy and things will be all right....sad part...we have a HC who is resisting doing it

Oh for sure...I agree...tho we can do much better there especially when the position doesn't need to be a Canadian one....do you not want the best possible talent playing? If Osh feels the need to give him moocho rep' as he obviously a Fav....stick him at safety where his ability would be more in line with his impact

Where are the tackles made...before yard's...at line of scrimmage...that's what to look for...same with a guy who..awesome a tackle after a pass and gaining ofnyards...he was "right there" etc..etc...I'd rather see a pass break up...turnover...or Maki g the qb make either a bad...or perfect throw...that's my issue with Kramdi...sure he seems like he all over the place..but mostly after the fact...where has he causes a turnover...break up a play? That Cole interception first game...anticipation...speed to close..athletic ability to get in position to take it away...Ktamdi can't make that kind of play...but he good in cushion coverage and trying to limit the gain...we.need better

I'll second that...and Wilaon and Mitchell in their respective spots doing and showing nothing...with Thomas eating 70 percent or more of the DT reps

I blame Hasson Arbubakrr for leaving for Ottawa Rough Riders

It's literally mine too lol

I was gonna say earlier....when was the last time we saw some unique play and or strategy....a fake of any kind.....a big gamble....When have we ever gone for 2 points...and be adept at that in case a time comes when we need to?....We have basically had things in aut-pilot for some time now

no doubt....tho last yr training camp likely was a good start point...and continued on thru to this one

seems to be some issue/disconnect...seems this yr Walter's actually seen we needed the infusion of new blood...and they brought in a lot...and a lot got discarded...again.....He also brought back some guys he prob shouldnt have to effectively remove them from the equation....now did Osh insist he had to have them...put up a big stink?...Walter's relented?...did he do it bugrudgingly with caveat of if new guys better...old guys cut...And Osh went against that?...we will likely never know....but a shift in whats going on is needed...Another embarrassing loss...at home....with a poor roster......that has to be the tipping point

I think past success isnt a reason to cling on it for future success.....They leaned on it since second cup win....and it's not worked...has been degrading ever since to the point now where we "could" be teetering to bottom of the West level ineptitude....things eveolve and change....you see it all the time especially in football. I also look at it as if maybe...past success was a result of the benefit of a lot of top end talent...in its prime that kinda coached /policed itself......and very well for that matter....before that we were awful and the HC was on his way out the door...had a foot out.....fast forward 3 yrs post dominance....older team that is not was it was...some guys we still leaning on that should have been gone last yr already.....similar ussues and problems creeping in like pre 2019 run...HC seemingly clueless and not having answers....be it on the field or with media.....hmmmmm....Maybe he isn't the be all end all and a lot of people seem to wanna believe,,,as we as a team have been out-coached...alot of late (last several years) and he still is relying on his "room" to maintain their process and it will right itself.....something to think about.....he definately not showing above average coaching and decision makong skills

sometimes tho we pick up the other teams slugs tho.....where have we seen the ....Pick up say Mason Bennett and drop a Thomas....Nat for a Nat...One being younger and better....the other not?....thats just one example...We wont do it...well...Osh wont

i enjoy it as well....and have a good chuckle at the assumptions of many, and the mocking that I think I know more than anyone..Including Osh..when I talk to players and management of pretty much every team...still train with many....help train new guys looking to get up here and in the NFL and have a pretty good inside pulse.....And yeah I will say if I was given the reigns of this team in camp...I could have had us sitign here at 2-0...Laugh all you want....yhou all know who you are!

no offence to Ed as he is a team employee....but he literally licking the boots and drinking the koolaide too...and following along with the HC is perfect....sadly....it's gonna take a huge winless streak, or a 2 and 10 record before the poop hits the fan...and it will all be directly related to what we can see I knew it right away from his early articles, and thruout camp when he kept pencilling in guys like Thomas ...Kolo and Kramdi as defacto starters...before...during and when camp closed...Same with the importance of Biggie and that hype...ZC too....Where do you think he was getting that from???....He knew...as well as osh knew that save for one them guys having a limb fall off...regardless of what and how camp went....that they were gonna be in. Biggie didn't make the first game, but as soon as he was remotely able to...he would be plopped right back in.....and was...why do you think we kept no viable guy to replace...or overtake him....cause Osh had zerointention of it...same with BA....Wilson...Kolo...Thomas....tho we kept 3 guys at DT basically if he didn't he would have been a total laughing stock.....

fear of losing access for asking the legit questions....and partly as per my other comment...just clueless in general professional athletes these days...be it 10 yr vet or rookie....are and should all be on the same level in regards to prepardeness and fitness....also....guys who get to the pro level have been at it for most part at least 15yrs or more. I also am in the belief from seeing it personally that most guys now coming into the pro's at the 22...to 25 yr age range are way more athletic and finely tuned than the guys who are vets who came in 10 yrs before them...just the new way of athlete....

totally scared to...and they know that osh will likely use it against them for further interviews....and be even more smug and condascending it's not a matter of listening to fans....noreso an issue of using maybe common sense....weighing options with pro's and con's....talent vs hinderernce?.....and to be honest....a good protion of fan's here...yourself including have a heck of a lot more sense and football intelligence to actually see the forsest thru the tree's than a big majority of local...and even national media...

If only so simple...and logical....and basically the smart roster move....if only...... Unless......your a Coach's boy....Old tenured vet that had value 3....4 yrs ago, or a less skilled Canadian with tenure who's also Daddy's boi....Then that goes out the window and you are given your place on the roster so what your say Ed...is he's better??? Cause our punter right now is not very good/consistent/or able to do more than 1 thing

do we know it was a bad one?....from my understanding was just something minor enough to not be able to play....and 3 weeks later...he good to go...How is thatany different than Biggie....BO...Demski and looking back...how any different than the Grey Cup with 4 guys who were completely unable to perform...yet dressed...and played. Listening to his June 18th presser....I have little hope of much changing unless it's mandated from above

Is Mitchell this yr's Jackson??..The apple of Osh's eye?....TBD I guess

I also bet that even tho Chris Smith is ready to go, and could/should take reps at RB to ease the load, and is the better returner...we won't see him this week....

all the guys mentioned tho had legit competition and beter talent in camp....Osh tho did chose to keep them unfortunately but not surprisingly....but again....you are correct....He was supplied with the players.....not giving him the opportunity to keep them may have been the better avenue to take...100 percent

yup...was in total agreement....and like you said...It's time for Walter's to be the boss....and in turn for Osh to start actually coaching again

yes....and no......we have brought in talent...especially this yr to really infuse youth/talent/hunger and we sent em packing. That part is on Osh Walter's tho either agreed to Osh requests....or on his own seen it as prudent to bring back some aged out and declining talent vets. iF He doesnt re-sign a Thomas....Kolo...Biggie (tho him back as a role guy paid accordingly would have been fine) and a handful of other players....Have that talk to ZC about a re-do that helps we would be in a totally different spot.

Yeah...sad eh?
