Booch

based on the craptacular receiving work from some of the other guys...should he have not been getting a hard look already??...like wtf?? and I have no reason to believe or take anything from the injury reports as truthful or legit....Woli got a rib...hip/lower body injury....grabbed at it when he was hurt....came back and could barley run/move with any intent....but report says "shoulder".....I call bullshit on that...his movements and limitations when he tried to come back in no way showed a shoulder issue

all things considered other than some bad gaffs....some questionable personell...they have been good....now imagine if we optimized our roster with who we actually have here right now....they would be damn good...thats the whole discussion...complaining...rehashing of things over and over....it doesn't have to be the way it is....and on offence too.....but stubborness usually gets you canned...or fail....we see the fail...bring on the can exactly....if you cant admit or see we were lucky...and even lucky last 2 seasons in some instances...then you not seeing the whole picture...gotta be good to be lucky.....when you not good...luck waves buh-bye more times than not, and then yhou have the "a break here or there and we could have won" scenario

oh dont get me wrong...I agree.....Thomas and Kolo need to evaporate sooner than later...but we are also in this position due to negligence and neglect re: our roster and player assessment We would be no worse...and likely much better off with Dobson/Eli/Wallace....Demskii...BO and Woli....with Clercius in Johnson's spot, and roster Murphy and Sign Bailey who can be Nationlized due to injury to one of Woli/Demski/Clercius in game and dress Murphy in lieu of Thomas as additional National WR depth......And have no need for any Canadian "starter" on defense save for Ford...who is a legit talent....don't even have to declare him as a designated national spot on defense so if he does get hurt you can replace him with any import......and then you could allow Kramdi to be what he is...a good rotational piece...spot starter due to injury, or move him around on the defense in different spots... safety...SAM... and on certain sets and schemes. That right there alone just with who we have in house would make us a better team...way more versatile...

yeah...if we needed a 7th...and it was the only option...sure....but we dont need him as the 7th...we can do better there....choose not too...and pay a baffling amount for him....whereas that money would/could have been used elsewhere Pick a team in the league that would say I wish we had Kramdi in at SAM for us over who we have.....good luck I'll go even further....show mer a team that would use/take Thomas over whomever else they use for 80 percent of snaps in a game....who would swap Kolo for their center one for one.....I can't see any team taking our punter over who they have. Who would swap Biggie for their MLB.....Maybe one team would take BA over their guy....Who would scoop Case...Mitchel...Johnson off the scrap heap and start them.... There a reason we are sitting at 2-5...and lucky to be at that record to be honest....

One great game doesn't make a career or justify the use...he has had more sub par and poor games than great ones...now if that was the norm...sure...but it isn't...and I bet we dont see another game like that again but will see many of what we have seen up to that point

we could go Bryant...Eli at center...some stud import guard...the best of Wallace/Dobson at other....Keep Lofton and if we start Woli/Demski/BO as well then we only need Ford as a "starter", and a guy on every down rotating at either SAM...or on Dline...Heck even give Kramdi some safety reps...or morph him into a safety....easily doable We dont have to be running out sets with 2 National dlineman...and Kramdi...and Ford.....and sometimes 3 national Dlineman....That whole way we been doing things is pointless....dumb....and sacrifices talent and an aggressive defense for......man I dont even know what for other than an Osh preference

and we still have Alston on PR who has showed nothing running 2 yrs now...and even Murphy...who has been vaulted by Clercius....poor PR use right now and 2 extra DB's....when we didnt have a viable LB to cover for loss of Cole and Wilson...again....like wtf we doing with our PR? We essentially had 10 DB's on the last game day roster...11 if you include Kramdi....more than enough room to throw Lawler..Bailey..Lucky..Demski, Woli and Wilson as your main 6 guys...With Clercius as a back-up

thats what I can see too...

dirt plank??

He could be actually...Schoen wont be ready for start of season....and even then may take a while to get back...Bailey is only just 30....yesterday...not like he is Biggie age...and also guys Like Wilson need to prove their worth too as a legit player.....other than him...we have unearthed nobody to make Bailey if signed expendable....If anyone won't be brought back it's probably Lucky....Unless he gets his chance finally here....which he should have already and rips it up...then why not offer him a TC invite Bailey brings a lot to the team...and it's been sorely missed we like everyone in the buildig...they are all starters...thats why they are here...ummm....okay

Exactly....Osh doing his Osh'in is the only coach to do that....and it's not as they are the best option on the team...It's his Canadiana agenda.....and if those were our best options...we have serious flaws in scouting/recruiting then You forgot to mention all those other coaches utilize the Nationalized player as well....another thing Osh refuses to do...cause he was a lone wolf vote against it....so this is his soapbox statement Personal agenda and bias over team....is that truly what you would want leading a team?....and dont anyone chime in with the "ya buts...4 cup appearances".....holds no weight or value the last 2 losses...and whats compounded this yr

yup....he know's how to...and what has to be done as a HC....it' all about performance and talent and thats what gets you on and keeps you on roster....just enough old school in him to work well with the current era of player

our only way out is if we talk him into retirement.....or he gets hurt...loooong term style like Miller last year....I have no idea why...or who pushed for that 3 yr deal with all that guarantee on a QB who will be turning 37 in that final yr...a guy with injury history in his past. Was it ZC aking for that or he would walk?...Or was it Osh pushing for it to Walters?...who knows...but was a bad move any way you slice it...for any player in their mid 30's really as you can see the drop off can come out of nowhere...and come really fast

he's healthy...he's mobile...they have a decent line....and you see the results...

I'd do a BLM fo ZC straight up...Isnt his wife from Hammer area?

IF we were to cut him now we would be on the hook for what he earned this yr so far (bonus ad salary) and would be on books for 250k for 2025...even tho not here...only way out is we deal him....he retires after season.....or he renogotiates and we get rid of that....and cant see him doing that...so we hooped

Demski is pressing too much...trying to make a huge play on every play, as he knows if we don't most times...we stalling....especially when it seems ZC can't consistently find his game....or if he ever will again. The addition of Lawler hopefully soon...as well as Whitehead who knows the league and where to be, where to go and teams know him and will respect him will also help and let Demski play a bit more how he used to. Wilson has had a good yr basically learning under live fire....and all things considered is doing good...and has huge upside....and Clericus has shown the next best potential and is gonna be a valuable tool for us....but every other guy they rostered (Johnson....Mitchell...Case) need not be in the lineup anymore this yr, if even on the roster anywhere...Same with Alston...his second...well actually 3rd stint here now and he still deemed not good enough to supplant the other guys who have failed badly...then why the eff he even here???...pointless Schoen is 2025 consideration now.....Wheatfall deserves to be here to develop too...be it as the extra guy...or on the PR.....Moving forward for remainder of yr and any possible hope of squeeking in the post season and possibly running the table with the hot hand ala 2019 we need to roll with Lawler..Demski..sign Bailey....Woli...and Lucky...Clericus and if roster allows and we dont handcuff ourselves Wheatfall if he available/ready......and really for what all the returners have offered Smith should be back....he has value as a RB if BO goes down...and also as a change of pace and in multi back sets with Strev...and with ZC....he also looks to have more explosiveness on returns and was very close to busting a big one until he was yanked...Case I don't see that in him We also have to start using Strev as a QB in packages, and when ZC is scuffling.....which we havn't done yet, and is very short sighted...because if ZC goes down...longterm...be nice for Strev to actually been using the playboock....from a lot of what I have seen with ZC last few games...he is an injury just waiting to happen this yr....he not absorbing and reacting to well already to some very tame shots....just wait till he really gets lit up...and with some of the slug oline play we been seeing...and rookie reciever miscues with picking up blocks or recognizing the extreme pressure/blitzes...it's gonna happen.....if we don't see a infusion of veteran pass catchers rostered

I not normally one to use reffing as an excuse for a loss...and bemoan it too much as a lot of times it's equally as crappy both ways, and more times than not don't really effect the outcome of the game...but that one was blatant and had a huge effect on the outcome, and the PI we challenged and then got a call stands decision as well was pathetic....it's shameful on the league

I'd go in house like I said before with Darry Patterson...has enough of the old school way in him that blends nicely with being relatable as well as highly respected by players today...and has a solid solid back ground He would be of the cloth as well that the best players will suit up and play, regardless of where they came from...how long they been here, and not due to any of the other current bias' which plague us.....and comes from the lineage that if you mess up....or dont cut it...repeatedly....you will lose your seat at the big kids table...and thats what we need

More coaching blunders...but it's just repeating same thing and annoys some clowns here...well when the dumb crap keeps happening...but in different forms or circumstances...yup...it bears repeating

Replacing some guys now...actually helps us squeeze in the playoffs if done now...and gives some.games to get experience The idea to run with guys like Biggie..Thomas...Kolo...BA...and not actually address some positions with best possible player we can...instead of this fascination to start as many Canadians as possible which does nothing other than serve Osh's bias and agenda as opposed to best player possible from the get go has been our demise

Interesting enough...the book on him before his CFL stint was very good hands and knack for crazy catches...his hands are not an issue..being a #1 guy tho as he is learning the Canadian game on the fly...and is still actively having to process things as he goes...is what's his learning curve..and even at that he's leaps and bounds ahead of where he was game 1 and 2 Him as a running mate with Lawler when back...Demski more back to his 3rd option role and the insertion of Whitehead ...and continued increased work for Clercius ....we will be just fine. If ZC can spread it around and process what's going on as opposed to forcing things...we will be ok

was running a crosser underneath

you can say...we just werent good enough along the oline....we cant be dropping/fumbling balls and have to be more aware out there....Need to make better decisions.....hardly shaming...and they are grown men...they can take it.....and may give some kick in ass they need all goes back to practice...coaching...attention to detail...etc....accountability....using the excuse of "yeah but we fumbled 3 times...it happens" as an excuse is for losers...it's an indication you aren't good enough consistently...or are badly coached there is an even bigger hole to fill tho on the oline before it gets significantly better

he was 13 for 13 on the yr....and got screwed on a **** call tonight...he's hardly an issue
