Lucky the de

Hubert has nice potential....but that being said I don't see him as a ready for primetime lions share of reps guy yet...nor do I see him actually anything more than a real nice rotation piece to allow a WJ and whomever else we roster a breather Lucky....athletic for sure...and a motor but I seem to recall him not too effective when matched up against the big boys, and shedding blocks...etc...and this all goes back to pedigree and from where he came from...no offence to him but its just fact. Same with a guy coming straight from the NCAA as a rookie and making an impact....whereas it is super rare for a CIS kid to do the same...it's all about the training...coaching...competition...etc...the pedigree.......so this rostering is a bit suspect at best

yup...typical Osh....and nothing is gonna change...unless injury...and even then he still can't do it right you are totally correct...Save for Ford...None the others on defense are an upgrade over what we could give reps to Clecius I agree should be given every opportunity possible..Dude will be a stud...already is yup this...we could have also kept Fayed for now...and dumped Mcghee...who was on PR last yr...and again this yr with 2 rookies and Griffen ahead of him...as well as Ford...so we keeping him again because?????...just flat out poor management...again prick needs to be good and a difference maker...huge point to consider too...Kramdi...is neither...he's adequately average at best and makes too many mistakes for a 4th yr guy Thomas has showed less than both...well any dline guy we rostered

u the only one...for what reason would you "list" 11 as a starter...and they get majority of reps...when you dont have to...and you have better options in lieu of them?...If u get a big steamer out od watching Canadians play...go support yhour local University..Junior or grass roots league...Its pointless what Osh is doing...doesnt give us the best roster...and the epic slop we been served far too often this past while is a direct reflection of it

kind of why we in the spot we are...developed nobody....and have nobody available where we have injury issues

sure.....If something is going on I'm game

I love being sub par

so now you plagiarize ?...ummmhmmmm....okie dokie pumpkin 😙 theres also the old adage that you shouldn't try and talk to appear smart....as it makes you look the fool...ye with all the football experience I got a proposition for you...I gleen from your rambles you are out on the West coast??...I have some football related business and training at San Jose State and also in the state of Washington...some camps and recruitment commitments....How bout you make your way to one of em...I'll even put you up and you can see...meet...and discuss football with some my cohorts....then we can see who can back thier sh!t up...and has a football back ground...and who is the actual douchewhistle..... Bell cow of all Bell cowin backers!

haha....thats what I figured....but I was a bit confused....and yeah I have a lot in my holster! haha

thats where we lacked foresight to identify, and then develop a guy the last 2 yrs...we should have been cycling thru guys all yr long on the PR to get that player in house, instead of hanging on to guys...some them for several yrs with no real belief they were gonna even amount to anything Back in the day....not so long ago the PR was always in flux and guys were coming and going all yr long...we have not done that of late

showing yhour inept ability to have any sense...Linebackers are never referred to as "Bell Cow" Nuff said and every Linebacker you described...came into the league at exactly that...an entry level contract as a rookie...again...cementing your total lack of any football or CFL related intelligence

and that ZC contract with 250k garuanteed next yr which is really gonna cripple us....one saving Grace is Schoen won't be on the books in any way shape or form until likely game 7 or 8 next yr...so there is a good chunk saved.

2 games early as opposed to 1...more so to allow a guy to get into game condition.

or have another one at the ready??....like wtf guys They will just wear Adams out off the edge to minimize his effectiveness inside....typical...Could of easily dumped McGhee off the PR to accomodate a body...tell him to stick around town as yhou still have Bridges there anyway....pretty sure nobody will scoop him up and start him...typical poor roster management in full bore

If Carey...Mills...Butler...Brown...that new dude in Ott got the amount of touches BO gets/got...Especially behind when we had a dominant O-line...They would put up same type of numbers..possibly better as they all have more open field break away speed....they not entry level deal guys...now....but they were at one point ....and also still a lot cheaper But if you truly wanted to find a bell cow type back on an entry level deal...who could catch...run with power, and speed....you wouldn't have a hard time finding one if that was your focus

this...also is true.....but in regards to an overpay...it's not....do we need to pay that much for our top 3 guys...probably not, and again ratio wise....one of any of our canadian starters isnt neccessarily needed to make the ratio...As it stands with BO...Demski...now Kramdi..we are paying a premium for 2 Canadian spots that technically we don't have to, and that couple hundred grand in savibgs paying an entry level Import or a guy who is coming into his second deal, but isn't in elite status yet who would give you better production at SAM and likely equal at worst value in a slot reciever or RB is huge yeah I wasnt a fan either and when numbers were being thrown around in media I wanted to walk away....I get the reasoning for making it happen...but also with solid scouting, or landing a diff free agent RB we would have been alright too....

yeah...Brady makes 65k more than the next highest paid runningback.....To me thats an overpay regardless of Birth Certificate and any awards....Demski and his hard money has him behind 5 other guys...and in close proximity to 4 others...which seems right in line of what someone else would have paid....Some probably more as I am sure he took a bit of a hometown discount

ahh...Thats right...damn shame

me too....didnt appear he did anything to play himself off the team...But I guess the Biggie/Wilson factor got him...maybe he declined a PR spot as he saw the bullshit going on

If this isn't enough to make yhou say....why? I don't know what is Also a nice display of Kramdi behind the play...not going hard, and tippy toeing around doing zip...ala Thomas on so many plays.....fix those 3 areas....we would be pretty damn good Gemmel was good too...worth keeping around

Thomas could have filled multiple roles..Wil...SAM....Even safety...just had a nose for the ball and had that sideline to sideline pursuit that a young Wilson...I don't recall him even really messing up Petrishen to me was meh...Moses was raw...and rusty but had all the tools, and made plays...He just needed to learn the Canadian nuances...why he wasn't kept...even for just aprt the yr on the PR to see if he could put it all together was puzzling too..I know he got hurt near end of camp...so maybe he gets brought back?...Dunno

we dont even need to flip the ratio tho....W e can function just fine with an import RB and 5 canadians on offense (3 ol and 2 Rec) and 2 on defense...so this ratio flip is moot...We choose to maintain it as Canadian...And paying BO what he wants which to me is an overpay...and carry a serviceable RB to back him up in Auggie costs us around 350k of cap space. Really if we declare a 5 and 2 designation for where we use our Canadians, we can easily back BO up with Smith...or any other American back we roster as an in game replacement, and a multi game replacement The fact we allocate about 1 million in cap space to ZC..BO and JA is bad salary management in my opinion. Rosary could have filled JA role for just over half the price, and offer more in the passing game...and getting a back like the one in Ottawa ...or a Carey type...Mills....Pre-injury Standback is not a hard task as there are literal 100's to choose from in the States...so entry level deal there for a bruiser with more athleticism could of easily off-set some of that albatross of a contract that ZC has us over the barrel with now. Same with the dumb money paid to Kramdi for basically average at best production...and still after 3 yrs brain fart after brain fart...And again...a Canadian isnt really needed there either....another example of poor allocation of sms for production you get....toss in Biggie and Ba's money and you see why right now we appear to be in a bit of cap hell This also leads right back to clinging to guys....over valuing tenured vets, and not having the foresight or the willingness to look forward..transition, and continually get better...we been to content at looking back and being content on past success and showing loyalty to players past their usefulness In the last 3 yrs...where have we actually gotten better or restocked the cupboard with top line talent...with big upside? I will say Adams/Woods/Fox/Garbutt....then again if Walker wasnt looking for bigger money he would have basically be pencilled in the lineup...and Bennett not being hurt or whatever the issue is there...he would have been seeing likely Jake Thomas reps too So Likely 2 of the 4 mentioned wouldnt have been kept, and Hubert probably would not have gotten on the roster to develop and show potential (he has done more in 3 games than Bennett did all yr) We'd be watching heavy doses of WJ...having to work with Thomas...and Walker eating most the reps...and not sure who off the edge to compliment WJ but an insane amount of Bennet spelling off whoever it was...There would have been no need in Osh eyes to keep any of the best interior guys we have had out this yr because ...heck we have returnees Walker..Thomas..Schmeck..Bennett...so we good and solid...and just the thought of that scenario is enough to make u wanna puke

Thing is we don't need to play the way we did with Strev as only way to win. We need to have Buck tailor the scheme to him and let him grow as a passer...dude can pass, and would have had better numbers last game if not for some brain farts by 3 raw receievers, as well as some penalties negating s few plays. There not a lot of QB's up here who thrive as a pocket passer....not even ZC now...as when any pressure...or threat of it happens...he basically screwed now. There are lots of guys tho who would...and do thrive with moving launch point..roll outs and sprints....and Strev would most certainly thrive with that....especially when you have him roll out to the edge,,,It will become a pick your poison scenario then and defense's will get gouged. It's all in Buck and Osh's hands on how to morph things, and allow us to be sucessful, and that means with the right personell. This style of offense also makes a weaker line look way better...much like teams that used to use the veer....was a ways to odff-set a poor line...we dont have a poor line, but with a system where you wanna move the pocket and launch points and have oline guys sliding and switching blocks....You definately need to pooch Kolo right outta there....he can't as it is pick up moving parts and any defender that causes him to have to make a decision, or realize when to dis-engage off a tandem block he's so useless...will say it agin that center is a spot that is really hampering the line in general, and why Osh cant drop this loyalty to certain guys isn't helping Lawler I expect back within 3 weeks max...and with him and Lucky added to things...and some scheming to focus on what we have and what we can be succesful with...I can see a major turn around...now the fly in the ointment is how long do we keep expecting ZC to turn it around?....If he looks much the same again this week...and we look just useless on offence....they need to sit him down...plain and simple. Even if he does look half way decent, we still need to do a lot of Strev series...that he isn't just a gimmick...but running an offence tailored to what he can do...and the issues he can cause

316 for 481 for 4134 yards 32 TD passing..8 ints isnt a run heavy wildcat offense...not sure where you get that idea from....thats his senior yr stats...he also rolled up 720 yards on the ground as well...avareaged 13.1 yards per pass as well

yup....we have a guy who can grind out the shorter stuff...also with Strev...we have guys around him now who would make the jet sweep...or the fake of it...and the RPO that much more effective.... Oh I agree...definately will be some ups and downs and growth into the spot...but we have seen a lot of real bad QB play of late with ZC...and he is a one trick pony...so he is very limited in how he can manage a game with sub par support....Its gonna be an interesting dynamic...and if anything his leash should be ultra short...
