Booch

But roster management is never an issue with dear leader wearing the headset

Well....another greatly prepared and inspired squad outta the bye...vet days when u had a week off?? Like wtf Like I said...we need to see continuation/progression from what we saw last game....obviously that was an aberration We have a fair amount of good players....but...no great players (save for BO) and way too many average at best players who are essentially coach's fav...and that's not a winning formula This defense scheme...garbage...especially when teams can eat up clock and pass at will. No playmakers in the secondary so who cares if you drop 9 when none can play on the ball...especially with a garbage dline that disrupts anything or makes impact plays throughout a game. Sub par roster...1 superstar...questionable coaching...poor schemes...anyone who thinks we have a shot in playoffs...if we even get there...is out to lunch And if Demski has a hammy injury...well we gonna be rolling out Corcoran??? Good god....tho we all know that osh will play demski as a gimp regardless and further hand cuff the squad in playoffs

Just take Bpc 157...TB 500...and your golden...maybe a mitochondrial biogenesis peptide too... His website on dline play is best around...guy would have been a phenomenal coach...as he was just a phenomenal person...RIP

and we went 29....invalid point really in regards to what people are discussing. guess you have never played....the players see it as a failure...not getting to the cip is easier to stomach then getting there...being favored and then slitting your own throat 3x straight from stupidity and stubborn incompetence most players in history will say it's meaningless...sure it nice....losing one maybe from self inflicted errors is easier to absorb...3 in a row....it sticks with guys, and not in a happy oh shucks we got there...yeehaw kinda way Saying losing with stupidity...the same stupidity 3 yrs running being a sucess is prob also one the dumber things said in a forum in some time...bordering on ever

you add pressure...or actual guys on the dline who can do things...and that already good secondry gets even better....gets more turnovers....and has even a lower completion percentage against The use of less than serviceable guys on the dline, regardless of the scheme or mindset is just a personal bias of the coach and serves no benefit. Put legit guys in 2..3 of those spots and play same scheme...exponentially better results and we filed in those yrs due to a lot of the issues whined about....we lost as well in 2022 ...further compounding it...reg season wins...many that glossed over the issues mean jackshit when you dont take hoime the end prizer someone gets it....and wasnt a hard concept to grasp either was it?

Winning teams and players who give a damn do....thats who Practice is a joke compared to when they still mattered....90's...early 2000's....but still...there's lots to be accomplished and woked on...and we tend to minimize and not even do basic stuff that tends to get rusty and laxidasical and it has shown here of late We too ensconsed in the country club it will all work out attitide...ciz it did yrs ago....needs to be rebooted or the slow slide will continue....and its speeded up a lot in 2 yrs good teams...sucesfil one instal and do work on new things...different looks late in yr and in playoffs....you have to.....so that comment actually is kinda baseless...no offence bud....but...that being said how we do it here it is reasonable for someone to say that...cause...well we slack a lot

Yeah the Cats were favored by everyone and anyone.....but 1 game anything can happen Our dline went off like mofo's and controlled that game, and the Cat's had no answer....and the oline as well just had their way and we controlled that as well....we had top end guys in their prime, hungry, and un-injured...and the foot soldiers had use outside of ST...so we had depth.......and well we won.....and thats why we need to get back to that set-up to reclaim our top spot standing....not a hard concept to recycle and reload your roster on the fly and to know/see when you need to move on....long standing tenure here be damned....cause that ideology isn't a wining formula

be nice if we signed a current situation signing and inserted said signing...they are out there but when you have the mindset "we good" and the belief that things will just work...cause they so happened to do so 4...5 yrs ago.well you get a less than stellar roster that can compete...but not finish the deal

pretty sure thats an oopsie.....dude dont look no 190

I not sure what you getting at in egards to my post....Burke was a decent coord...crappy HC ....Tho was also in a dead man walking situation too

I have no faith in our Coaching to prepare this team to win 2 road games in West to get to cup....If we sneak into 2nd....we may catch lightening I think tho this yr the West team that crosses over will be a first time Grey Cup participant, and seeing we in 4th currently and the Edm game is no gimme at all we could be that cross over team. We have shown zero consistency all yr, and have generally had our butthanded to us the majority of the season in the second half against the good teams (winning records) so although I like what I saw last game....was it an aberration, or do they come out of the bye and expand on that?....that will be the indicator if we are an actual Cup contender and until i see it 2..3 games in a row coming up have my doubts....hope I wrong but to think otherwise is foolish And I am sure based on past seasons Osh will make a couple extremely dumb decisions re the roster, or what is occurring in the game and will cook our goose...so there is also that X factor My opinion....closing out and into the playoffs...we gonna need everything to go perfect, and have a few opponents along the journey pulla cpuple their own Osh's and help us out That being said I will gladly eat crow and Osh does a glorious job....but I'm not getting out my fork and knife just yet Already said Riley...Richard Harris too....always wanted him to be HC here....true player coach and guy who could relate to anyone....he would have been a great one

Mike Riley

its been 12 season...not just past 3...he was able to skate by cause he had a loaded roster and guys in their prime....he hasn't the last 3...4 yrs...and it shows Waltr's saved his bacon with savvy FA signings and a solid recruiting team...and the gentle push to basically say...Nichoils is here...he best be starting next game That didnt happen he woulda been gone in yr 4....5 latest as said above....100 percent.... yup...and re:Thomas....he not even serviceable at that...why?....like he shouldnt even be here now...or last....let alone next...so whats the point? he's not the future and far from the now...dumping him off the roster won't make us a weaker squad...allow a young player to develop there with sparingly being used until they progress...and really with ratio a DT isnt even required....go find a legit DB/Rec/LB (tho we already have 2) and develop them.....

we already have 2....who offer more, could we find better....for sure and we should always be trying to find better...at every position and this loyalty of favoritism to a coach's fav...or a guy who been here a few yrs is the root cause of how you go from the top...to "not the top" in lickity split fashion and degrade your roster...depth...and yes attitude and loyalty to club from players...Lawson a Canadian offers more...and actually before Schmeck got hurt in a situational role even offered more....but..........we know the but And the value the HC has on certain aspects of a player trumping talent/potential/versatility also gets you what you see when you compound it with the aforementioned...and gets you a roster chalk full of ST guys who have no value beyond that....and forces you to play underperforming vets, and injured guys...

big difference between tackles....and plays....seems to me a lot here would say player X on a different team wasnt as good as the stats seemed to indicate even tho high in league if not leading in tackles...and they are not necessarily wrong....but if it is a case where it's to defend Osh it justified I dont care about T.Jones tackles....I am tho of his poor drops in zone going up free catches constantly...his over pursuit and missing tackles in space as he plays at times out of control I also look to meeting guys in the hole...stopping plays for no yards or loss...plays he scrapes an takes down a player for minimal gain...not where it's giving them a 2nd and short He doesn't make the impact plays...the game altering ones.....doesnt meet the ball carrier first or dictate anything really ....he's good at having play come to him, not the other way around.....he's not a complete impactful LB by any stretch and has more holes in his game than positive attributes....Does J.Jones have moe...based on skill set alone and his work in T,O yeah....did he show it here...no.....didnt get the chance...but that being said he showed more in pre-season than T.Jones did, but like him..Thomas..Kolo...Kramdi (tho he actually got bumped from sam) their spots were cemented pre-camp regardless what anyone else did People yap about the game J,Jones played and had no defensive tackles....yet was the best defensive game we put forth all yr...coincided with moving Kramdi and Person actually getting a lot of reps Like a good DB maybe teams were staying away from him...nobody seems to look at that...also if you watch the tape he was perfect on his drops and where to be in space so there was no free pass in his area....subsequently T.Jones was able to play better in his drops as he saw the depth he should be J.Jones was removed.....Person went back to 6...7 reps again and until last game the defence never looked as good as that game Some times its not all about "stats" and what you think you are seeing This team is saddled with players playing as a personal choice of Osh and it's not necessarily due to true actual on field talent that translates into a game....works to an extent when you are loaded across the board with talent (2019-2022) but we aint now Flame away flamers....I expect nothing less from the licker of the boots

mis-used

honestly tho we should try and get Woli back for a bag of tape and balls for stretch rin...Ham not using him and he would easily take Corcorans spot on roster and actually be useful and is also a receiver that ZC and Strev trust....and we know how key he was in rungame especially when the weather gets cold

this staff is mystified and enamored with a shiny bobble like kids with a new toy that seems awesome If a player they deemed was the best makes a one play or has a game where they put up numbers....signed sealed and final...entrenched full time even if they go game after gae...week aftr week of crap....Takes an injury to be removed...and even then...we tend to play injured guys...not hyperbole either...facts

he got hurt....Didnt lose it...then they went Canadian in the spot, and hence no room for him and or his salary...wasnt a performance base thing I dont think they really even had a plan....just cling to and hope the past resurfaces...again......that ship has sailed on many aspects of the past, and I also truly don't think Osh is a good evaluator of talent...he definately values some things over talent...and those things don't translate on the field to the best players

Likely wanted to be freed from here and said no more..he won't be teamless long

actually....Neuf can, and prob be a damn good center even at his age and a career extender for him...He has seen every front ever in the cfl so he'd have no issues making out the clls And in all honesty he has played really well all yr at guard...a few moments of wtf but that happens to any oline guy, and also chalk a lot of that up to with what was going on with our OC and system, and not to harp again but an actual center who could do the job, and both guards look worlds better too

technically you could just remove him from roster and play a man short even and be better....as the reps he took would go elsewhere But yeah...we need 1 Canadian on field at any given time on defence...so he's easily replaced Constant rotation is what we do, a lil excessive in my opinion as doesnt allow guys...especially dline guys to get in the game flow....but when we do it ad nauseum with inferior Canadians when you could use an import...whats the point Games where we give up gobs of yards...difficulty getting off field and zero pressure on the QB just making it worse...it is when we have Thomas and Korn (tho he gone now...again) kelly...Hallett in whatever combination on the field...when we only need Krmdi and or Lawson Same with that stupid front we run with Thomas or Lawson on the nose, and one the edge....and we flip flop them in this setup too...Both do nothing on the edge...and when Thomas is on the Nose.....useless...pushed back...spun around...washed away...or put on the ground Packaged with Pickett Package up a Thomas and Kramdi....do them a solid and get em closer to home and toss in a 2nd round pick I'm sure if Thomas is that good then a team would jump at that glue pot he carries under his jersey....no? same trip he was on when T.O traded Flo away for a sack of tube socks and some pine tar

she should have been part of the rule change announcement if it's fan's they wanting to bring in...Kate will be no longer on panel but placed 10 yards behind tsn studios

Big litmus test will be ho we come out if the bye....and if we put together another game like that....we seen too many great games...followed by complete ineptness....so gotta see some trend start here first. But if we are starting to trend....getting healthy, and in my opinion still a tweak or 2 to really be super solid then this could be our turning point Like you said...Harris is Harris and when the leaves start to fall...so does he....and i have zero reason to believe that Mace is a coach to lead a team to a Cup Adams....is he reverting to bad VA at worst possible time?.....that being said...Mills is as solid as you can get and they may be getting Begalton and Henry back a the best possible time for them Last 3...4 games of yr in west gonna be interesting indeed

And...they still have Harris and Mace...lethal combo of just not good enough....plus Lauther likely blows a game for them...hes been brutal
