yup...Osh being Osh....shamefull people were overly harsh on Ford...he gonna be fine.....MCI as well....he's a rookie and needs to learn a few things....but the physical skills and talents he has....you don't just find that anywhere...he as well will be fine....gotta let guys grow into things, as opposed to hanging on to guys too long...growing out of things so to speak and just keeping yourself behind in the development and transition...hence why we are where qe are in a few spots noe -

who weree the multiple amaerican Backs? One got puntd quickly...and was punted from the Redblacks as well...and one showed well...then he cut due to injury....why not keep the other one...whoever that was just in case...poor planning....plus released the other Canadian in case you ran into injury issues and had to start JA and needed a backup on roster if you didnt flip the ratio spot ton an import 100 percent...as we trot out the same ol same ol comfy sweater players of our coach....sad -

Nice to see Josh Johnson moived to AR....he should have been the starter over Wildon in frst game...most pro ready and polished receiver all thro camp Curious what we do at RB tho...too bad we didbt have foresight and notion to bring in multiple American backs to fill in just ib case what we have right now...BO isnt right and trotting him out there when not ready will just make this a long season for him with being knicked all yr...just another example of the griping about roster and depth...relience on the same ol same ol and poor forward thinking -
Smith is still here
-
amazing concept...and we refuse to use it cause..........???..??.'?????
-
yup...I kinda glad we lost, and things didnt get glossed over cause we "won" there no hiding from things now I seriously doubt if he had to boom one and kick us out from shadow of the goal line he can..
-
it really bordered on embarrasing...and falls right at the HC feet...some players were put in a spot where they were gonna fail....can't put it on them for that..It's up to your coach to have you ready...prepared...and the best available guys playing....where have I heard this before????
-
agreed....a lot of people who havnt played at a high level are discounting the fact that you are rusty..slower to react and aren't seeing things right at game speed from not playing....That's all part of the rust and being unprepared....the mental aspect and the processing...it's not a switch you flip on and off at will It takes sometimes games to get the head in the right state as well as the muscle memory, and the instictive movements....as opposed to the thinking about it...and sometimes that fraction of a second difference in football is huge...it showed We also should have had a plan B ready to go for that, as well as the game conditioning aspect for the guys who came in with lead legs if they were showing signs of not being 100% game ready....and we didnt...BO and Demski both were missing that extra something...and thats from having only 1 real practice...huge oversight
-
yup....its learn on the fly...I sure he will see it...and be coached up in film....not working together in camp with heavy reps during pre-seasone didnt help matters in any either
-
To be honest...yeah they went to Ford's side of the field...but also were targeting the scheme and HB there..I know I am not a huge fan of Holm but he made a couple glaring errors which cost us...2 of which come to mind where people assume Ford was the issue...and he wasnt

time to coach

last 2 cups were punches in the mouth....we got up...albeit staggering and continued...maybe this was finally the knock-out and we have the sensability to now regroup...re-inventory things and finally learn from it and March forward Defensively I like what we saw...and rostered if used right...with a few small roster tweeks....The Als offence didnt light us up by any means and not once drove the field....Thomas should be shelved and let the young guys earn their keep...and with Biggie and now Lawler on the 6 game...Lawson as well....no reason to not bring in Bennett and or Kongbo to totally take Jake out of the equation, as well as knowing Osh the return of our other Bennett who I am sure once healed will be right back out there No reason why Cole shouldnt be eating 80 percent of snaps....Kramdi is always running in and around the plays...but isnt disrupting anything....or being there in time to break a play up and make an impact....tackles after the fact look good in the stats sheet but thats about it...Also still not sold on Holm....as much as others....He is poor at the physical game...is a below average tackler and some what like Kramdi...gets there a lot after the fact...I'd much prefer him playing the centerfield safety role coming over and actually taking balls away....he looked like he regressed a bit...tho he was another vet who got the no need to play" training camp too wasn't he...so he could have been rusty too considering we knew none the guys who started on the oline in the final pre-season was really gonna make the squad...save for Lofton. (who I truly think was pencilled in from get go anyway)...we should have let the starting unit get reps as a whole for some of it...as you could see...especially in the interior they were right out of sync...Dobson took reps at center that game but why...We have Eli...who should be staring btw...and Kolo can be the back up longterm if Eli drops with injury..Not Dobson...entrench him at gaurd and let him just do that Osh likes his underdogs...especially Canadian ones and it's preventing Eli a chance..Kolo was grabbed off the scrap heap after 2 yrs of nobody wanting him and got in due to injury..serviceable sure...great....no....weak link...yeah...and we sit Eli...top 3 center in the NFL draft if not injured....does nothing but destroy guys when in the lineup...by all accounts smart and team first....but yet he languishes....unreal
-
I am pretty sure tho they wont publically say it...many vets aren't happy with some the things...but will keep up the all is rosey appearnace for the better of the team...but you will see it in their body language and sideline frustrations....even if thy dont realize they showing it
-
I talk about it....a lot....and get met with the praise of success of 2019 and 2021....and sure some regular season wins....but when was the Cup awarded in sept...oct?....and many reg season losses occured for basically the same over-sights...poor rostering....lack of depth in key spots...relience on Canadians where not needed...refusal to use rules to better your squad, and this 100 percent transferred right into the play-offs 2 straight seasons now and cost us dearly....and there still signs of it now....Thats not a good thing at all for a yr leading up to a possible home Grey Cup berth....there should be some major change and roster morphing going on....guys who will serve no purpose, and have no role next year, (basically have minimal to none now) and are just hanging on for here for obvious reasons should NOT even be here this yr....the fact they are is total crap. Young up and comers should be getting Lion's share of reps...along with the vet's not here out of loyalty and tnure...and certainly not origin of birth. If you think given the choice...for 2025 Osh will bring back Thomas...Biggie..Gauthier...Kolo...default the starter role to Collaros with no actual open competition....keep rolling out a whacky punter caue that Aussie stuff tickles his fancy...not allow his staff to bring in talent, or sign free agent to fill roles he feels that he has free reign to put an inferior Canadian at for no reason other than he is Osh and can....and he wont...you are sorely mistaken.

3 turds plus crappy honker preseason game 3
Booch replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
we shall see...The second point is a big one...we need to let him run the regular offence....even when he comes in...or stays in after a 2nd or 3rd and short....If all he does is run....that gets figured out very fast and basically just limits his effectiveness with that part of his game...and will get him taking needless pounding...So hopefully Buck lets him be a QB....Or if he is being told to only use as such....make a case as to not -
probably explains the looks he was giving after a couple of the misses....the "i hit it right and well" but it still missed....I'd be p'od too if they voted 10-1 against...and league still enforced it

3 turds plus crappy honker preseason game 3
Booch replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
it's just a certain coaches soapbox to show his thoughts in regards to certain things...hopefully it will morph back somewhat...thefact he actually took ownership and admitted how he went about things was probably not the best idea....maybe thats a start agreed...time to be the actual "Boss" of Osh...as thats what he is...I know that Wade will have no problems saying something...I also not unsure he may already may have...from the public admittal of I was wrong -
I'd lead block for you to tippy toe into the endzone haha...I'm still a load hahaha when we use Strev we need to use him as a QB running the offence...not just the run plays they have...as teams will just sit on that....dude can throw...let him...plus he can scramble and move around...he not a sitting duck back there,
-
we get a half decent offensive performance...we win that game....Defense has the horses....just get the right ones out of the stable Kudo's to Osh for actually admitting he screwed up....Light bulb moment?....we shall see Our D-line rotation is gonna be legit...and a strong point...If we can get Bennett signed as a Canadian rotation....less to no Jake only makes us stronger....and Ford is gonna be fine...Bonds looks legit....Cole....nothing needs to be said there and Wilson was solid but like some other vets...didnt have his sea legs....part of the Osh oopsie... I concerned with ZC tho...rust and NOT being in game speed mode didn't help and was apparent, but also seeing some the same stuff we have seen last year already that makes me wonder if he has regressed, as these "off" games happen with too much regularity now....Hope to see in coming games some Strev looks running the actual offense too...and running if/when things break down....instances now where with ZC he seems to go in panic mode almost...and either force things for a pick...miss a guy badly or just get sacked. BO also was not game ready and had no explosion or stamina....another coaching oversight in my opinion not involving JA more.... I still hate our punter and if we need him to actually kick us out of trouble I don't think he can, and Mitchell is not the return answer...Hopefully Smith is healthy sooner than later, plus he will be a nice piece on offence all is not lost if the right things are done....next week will be interesting, and imagine what this place will be like if Dru out plays ZC ...and badly.....I think if we have games where we get that ZC it should be a quick hook and let Strev actually play QB....
-
hahah....he definately scuffling for answers but you can totally tell its an "ooops" I screwed up admittance......
-
OMFG....Osh actually admitted that maybe they were not really prepared or ready....did a light turn on...or did Wade/walters have a lil chat??
-
never said told you so yet....but u can smell some things....I've been in a "best room ever" situatuion before...and played for and with some coaches guys would "run thru a wall for"....until that room erodes...that wall got a bit too tough, and that coach got jettisoned...it happens....not dsaying it will here now...but a season of more questionable things...and an exit in the big game...or not getting to it even cannot be ignored
