Booch

well...yeah they should always.....modern coache's also have no issue replacing a guy who is inferior as well....a professional team is always...well should always be ooking to get better regardless of position and vet status...you won't purge them all....but you can always cut bait on 1 or 2 mid stream

we not talking one bad game....and there no reason not to be old school either....pro sports is performanced based and worrying about hurt feelings gets you nowhere...and on path we headed....Thomas..Kolo...Biggie now....arguably BA....This isnt a one off...it's decline....and age.... again...more lunacy with roster...Kolo is undersized and gets mahnhandled too much as your anchor in the middle...listed at 6'1 but he not...as he basically same height as me...and I am 6 feet even I'd rather have a 6'4" 326 pound mauler in there...with athleticism...but whatev's...we can dare to dream

the gift that keeps on giving

in all 24 you can see right away if the center makes the right call just how the line comes out of stance and attacks their blocks....or...look like turnstyles due to wrong call

I think week 4 Eli was back at it...week 5?....none the less...was given the job as we had no other real center available...didnt win or earn anything....

Shouldn't even be in the equation...dress a guy who is ready to go, and usefull....typical Osh....let the dude rest and put Samson in the lineup...whom should have been in there before Hubert....Why dress a guy who may be limited at best...or get things tweaked and sit all game...or risk further injury?....just plain stupid and Osh just Oshin' as usual I do have my technical writing courses.... Got it cause Eli was injured....tho I believe it was more a case of him being out of football a yr and had to work back to football shape. I think we dressed Dobson as back-up and that putz who dressed a few games and didnt see the field Again...poor rostering as we had no real natural center as a backup....and the hits have just kept coming since then

Kolo was...this his 3rd yr now.....got a chance to come to camp after 2 yrs on street and nobody wanting him...Only got in due to injury....and Osh got this steamer for him and rest is history....and we now stuck with him at center like genital warts...

they should be tho...any player should be constantly looking over their shoulder.....thats the whiole part of complacency that has crept in....Earn and maintain your spot...or be left by way side....shouldnt matter who you are..Perform...or be replaced...cut and dried

when have we done that before tho...we usually just plop em in...with no game conditioning....so not sure what the purpose of this...and especially with BO...give him the extra week to get right......especially with Smith on roster now

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....
