Booch

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.

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

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

this year there was 100 percent a partial turning the page and changing some things....but they should have turned 2....and still not too late to do so....but if anyone can't see sitting a buttload of vets all pre-season and not getting some guys in game shape from not doing so didnt have an effect...they are blind and definately drinking the Osh Kool-aide....he has flaws...much like he great attributes...and his flaws been seriously biting us the last few yrs and trumoping his good traits making them moot....every good coach who didn adapt...anc evolve...got snipped....every one will go in a spiral.....is this the start here?...who knows but it's 3 yrs running now it's looking like in some respects....better turn a new page or things may get fugly

it's definately happening moe than it isnt since mid way last yr...and is concerning

2 straight losses...blundered away by coaching basically...say what u want...don't be shy....and nobody said anything about playing...it was in reference to management That being said I would fare quite well as I outsize over half the roster...I'd fare just fine thank you very much...

2 bs cup loses that were totally avoidable...and penchant for more of the same do...open yer peepers bud...no body saying be fired from this loss...but if the same stuff continues.....all good coaches eventually do

I wonder if media will ask osh the tough questions...and if he has the ability to say..yeah maybe looking back now we may have done things differently....hmmmmmm

If Lawler out..start him and 7 Canadians on offense and go all import on the front 7...with the lone Canadian Schmeck

Yeah...BO was good...just didn't get the touches

Lotta rust...and sometimes it's these early ..some call "extra preseason" games that determine if u get first...second...or miss the playoffs Only guy who didn't take preseason reps but looked fine was BA

Not me lol....

Yup...or actually be the Boss

Maybe next game we will see heavy rotation of Fox..Woods and Adams in the middle with Haba and WJ...that's when the defense looked effective...

Not time to panic...only first game...but not a good start...and reasons for possibly coming out poorly were mentioned...many didn't wanna believe it...and some of the same ol daddy's favorites look to still be an issue...

D was playing well all things considered but out there way too much Offense putrid...kick return...putrid...kicking...putrid...obviously preparedness...putrid...

Lol...gotcha...well I guess until things change???? I dunno
