Booch

well...Jake playing...Biggie and BA looked upon as relieable and essential players...Kolo starting....Kramdi being our SAM....Sheehan punting...makes me wanna put a pistol right in my yap hole....so could be way worse of a signing

RPO will work if they actually use deception and mix it up...RPO with ZC is pointless was more he needed to get a few thigs in order to cross back over border from what I understand....Dude is in tip top shape and can jump right in he will be fine physically....not sure how the narrative of his skills being eroded came about either....and like that matters here..we have 5..6 guys who are way further along in advanced stages of uselessness and they take lion share of reps If anything he will be a target defence's will hve to respect...he knows the league and wherre to go..and where to be to help a team...and for the most part save for a few rookies in due to injury has experience playing with all the offensive weapons

I watched his firstsession here...actually after the Bombers practiced as he hadnt technically signed yet...Had him throw all the throws to Bison recievers...and to targets.....he was just nailing them all...dropping back and throwing on the run like a QB....If they allow him to do that,....he will do very well

thats part of the thing with ZC...he like a sitting duck back there if nobody is immediately open...or things break down...and either throws a pick....fumbles or just takes huge loss on a sack...no threat to run whatsoever, and no ability...or desire to use his legs to get positive yards or extend drives Strev...he can escape...he can make somethig out of nothing, and teams have to respect the run and watch for designed run plays....and if Buck can finally use that, and then pass off of some of them to suck teams in..then we be rocking

if we actually scheme a plan to suit Streveler as a QB with dual threat ability...and NOT try to make him a pocket passer...I think you will see a really good looking offence...even with all these subs....Now put him out with that mindset with Lawler in the mix...whatever current newbie steps up and yes Lucky....we may have something....Toss Eli in at center first to see if that fix's what ails the oline as well and move forward from there. I think even with the addition of Strev right now alone will make the oline seem more capable.... A smart thing I hope Buck has worked in is sets with Smith and BO in backfield together with Strev and some option..RPO..roll-out stuff where any one of the 3 may get the ball...

yup! lol

nope...My quality assistants will keep me posted as I assess talent...put best roster forward lol

they are nipping at the heals tho of past Rider levels of suckage tho....Jury still out on this addition of Rider's

wonder if Jake was handed the HC riegns if he would keep Osh on staff?...lol

YEAH....wasn't sure about the rule..I know it was a max of 3 QB's....I thought if you went with 2 you were allowed another Global or National...could be mistaken

is he not dressing tho?...A smart move would be to roster 2 QB's...and use his roster spot on another player of use...That would make too much sense...But we have seen Osh before dress players who never stepped on the field....

I hope all his salary while suspended goes against the cap too...the Als should get no savings there for being idiots

I'd be fine with a loss...But not due to Strev.....like to see him produce and deserve the better fate....but a loss that just further shines light on whats ailing us, and it's sad it has to come to that thought Another interesting question...what If Srev lights it up..Offence clicks and looks worlds different than it has all yr....even in a loss....but if we win ...Does Osh go right back to ZC for next game...and just stick with him in that game if he keeps struggling...I bet I know the answer to that question

actually...I can factually tell the opposite..Winnipeg is an easy sell for many many Americans. That isnt a detriment whatsoever. Tho I can say of recent, I think some players who are looking to make the next step....and by that I mean in the CFL will/are avoiding here as they see that there is not a real legit opp here in some areas...and we have had talent walk away as well due to this..Brown..Bolo...most recently and if Eli wasn't signed thrue 2025 you can bet he would be eploring elsewhere next yr as well...Likely some Dline guys too will be.

it cripples us

in all reality he should not even be on the roster...stash him on the PR or 6game if they feel the obligation to pay him for a total emergency purpose..Let Schmeck (who I thought was gonna take a step but yet to see it) Hunert or Samson get the lone Canadian lineman reps and see what they can bring and develop them...but nope...we cling to a past his best before date guy and block developing youngtalent....or even assessing them. And really based on ratio and how we deploy guys we don't even need more than 1 Canadian defensive lineman anyway...dressing 3 is just a waste....utilize your Import talent there and add 2 Canadian who can serve better elsewhere...and contribute on ST's

too much weight was put on that...and you have to admit some luck as well...wasn't some insane coaching that got us there...also we were in a divison with some teams in dissaray and were right crappy...they all have improved...strove to improve...we havn't...we have regressed and clinged hard to past success...the prime example of a recipe for disaster...and Osh the head Chef of this tasty meal

only change really..Is Strev for ZC and that is due to injury...Even if ZC was good to go..based on what we have seen, Strev deserves the chance at least for this gae to get a shot...and see if it kick starts us....But we all know if not for injury we would have fielded the exact same group of guys....who have looked like cellar dwellers as a group at 0-4

MCI needs the reps and experience to grow into the role...he's a legit talent and young and he wont get it on the PR or with basically useless reps in practice....as practices these days are pretty much a joke from what a practice used to be Feltmate..is what he is...A fullback in title only, but no potentail to be anything other than that...thats part of what a lot of our issues stem from...this ascination of rostering guys that serve next to no purpose other than ST duties, and if needed in a game situation...or an extended amount of time due to injury...they just don't have it, and our neglect to develop legit guys compunds it. When we have excess injury issues...we are literally screwed Even with it being poor performance in some areas, or a want/need to shift the deck chairs to try and get the right mix...we don't....is it we can't because the HC doesn't believe the nonesense he say's to the media that they all starters, and are here for a reason, and we like who we have...is it because he has some bias/favoritism to certain players?...Or is it because he is just clueless, and believe's his own B.S and that he doesn't even see the inadequacies? either way you slice it....it needs to be changed....cupboards stocked with actual talent on the roster, and develloping on the PR...AND the PR should almost be constantly in a state of flux until you have dug up the best assortment of guys possible...not carry guys with no shot...some for yrs even...or have guys who legit can help, but have them blocked by the aforementioned dead weight...and guys who serve no future...and some who don't even serve any now....this dead weight needs to be expunged sooner than later and allow us to become better on the fly, and basically just have to augment for next yr...

Barf....He's totally clueless and out to lunch....and we are gonna be saddled all yr with him Osh'n the crap outta this team until it's in too late territory Too bad he hasn't factored in a good majority of the mistakes...have been who he has rostered, how he conducted camp...and how he assesses talent, and practice time/reps

and the fact we give Thomas 80% of the reps, and 2 guys in Adams and Woods the scraps is a big reason we have no dline push....and it has ripple effect out to the ends...or dline is so easy to scheme against with a DT and a nose in 30 sets who just doesnt do anything other than get taken right out of the play

we be better off withCharbonneau on for Feltmate...who offers zip....and no upside...MCI has oodles of it...and this is when you have to allow him to earn his chops...get acclimated....Dude is just as good on ST's....and offers way more as a FB... and a decoy alone if anything on some plays...you have to repsect his athleticism and speed...especially at his size.... I hope Strev makes a statement...and has a big...well rounded game....and That they installed stuff for him...to move him around and have Ottawa respect the run threat, but still have to maintain coverage

exactly.....well put. Thats also why if you dont factor in the down/distance...situational plays...and also what and who had what assignment and responsibility....you cant come up with some hypothetical scoring system...it's garbage I can't argue that....And sadly it is self induced too....doesnt have to be that way And the fact we are holding status quo...same ol same ol....after 0-4...and glaring issues...is just mind boggling. I truly hope for a win, and that it's a large reason due to QB play.....that being said...a win is just gonna put more lipstick on a pig...validate Osh's piss poor roster as not an issue and keep this pathetic train chugging along as is...which won't be a good thing in the long run

If we can get em all back...I am of belief Haba is a yr ender...and yes we park Thomas on the 6 gamer...cause we know osh won't cut him..we will be looking good

Yip...that's be exactly the point I was referring to..that PPF crap ain't worth the time it takes to publish it I think he creates his roster after anxious waiting for it to be published If you have the opportunity to review the sequence of plays I mentioned earlier you will see it plain as day...and there were others
