Works in unison...gotta make that switch...and with 7 canadians on offence...kramdi at safety....no reason fir Jake to even be out there but 4 or 5 snaps a game...Lawson..adams and Person can handle the load -

If we lose...defense plays well and kept us in but that God awful offence just can't get rolling...I can somewhat consider that a positive..and some new recruits on offensive side of ball need to be infused next If we lose...all 3 phases...look bad in doing so..and more poor coaching...with defensive changes...we are a bad bad ....bad team and overhaul needs to commence immediately....that includes coaching -

Key...establish dominance on offence early....and keep foot on throat...Nothing cute or trying to be smartest in room....just straight ahead punishment...and things will open up Defense... utilize the athletes we have actually rostered....the best ones....pressure and force Arbuckle to have to make quick decisions...and our back end should feast...play attack defense....not react defense Coach the game with a purpose and with a bit of fire in the belly.....do that, and we will reap the rewards -

Booch replied to Atomic's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
agreed...I just been out doing some work out in yard for a couple hours..live in south end of city...and to be honest I never even noticed anything, or could smell smoke....not sure if just accustomed to it and cant tell now...but I think it will be played...maybe delayed a bit at worse...but played -
Woodbey for a bigger guy is uber athletic....He's be more than capable repping at safety...SAM...Corner along with Will....need to get these guys like him and Allen into lineup for the litmus test

3 turds plus cranky honker don’t say roster management edition
Booch replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I wouldnt say all-stars are being sat over the scrubs...but there definitely is better talent albeit inexperienced sitting in lieu of lesser talent...and some guys getting reps over others on roster whom shouldn't...and that is I think direct relation to the HC preference Experienced is gained with live play...not practice so we have to make the concerted effort to see what we have That being said...some the guys who knows....could possibly play at an all-star level but we can't know until given the shot....especially when we have a pretty big swath of guys who are under performing, or just not good enough Now the questions are...is it poor and inadequate coaching not getting any player properly prepared? Is it laziness and the belief that "the room will sort it out"...I also look at that as neglection by coaches and not knowing your room.....is it the current staff have a poor eye for talent, and what intangibles/skills are more important than others?.....or is it we just have a real load of crap players now, and the coach has no practical options so just going with what used to work? First step is moving guys around, bringing some on...moving some out, and it seems we in the process of that now to a certain extent, so that's a good thing.....Of the talent is noticeably better...we in games consistantly but still making poor in game adjustments/decisions....well then time to focus on coaching or way we going about stuff....and if it's just still the same ol same ol....likely combo of everything and maybe a lil purge is required I do like the steps taken this week, but also wanna see Kyle bringing guys in with some urgency....and with some legit skill -
I'd take Rhymes..Brooks and Philpot over 2 of our guys that are starting
-
There is a minimum PR salary...but teams can pay guys whatever they want above and beyond that....and we have before, so unsure what he is getting...possibly?....If I was him tho I'd decline and refuse to agree to be "injured" so they either roster him....or have to release him, as I sure he wants to play...he's be scooped up in short order and probably in a lineup just as fast....
-
and if we force a ton of work to Demski...and he gets hurt....we are royally screwed....heck...we screwed I think as it is so if any of the "starters" goes down....we effed.....and now...what If Lofton gets re-injured?...my oh my....

with 7 canadians on offence...why even have a Canadian on field for defense every snap?... -
we have 18 lb/db's rostered...thats over 2/3rds of the gane day roster...thats insane and bizzare
-
yeah....no game breakers or legit threats that require real attention...and can be easy to take BO away from us until we show different...I expect a keep in front coverage with lotsa guys in the box and them baiting us into nickel and diming it for extended long drives to actually score a TD....and not sure if we gonna be able to do that. Maybe BO goes off like a machine and Strev as well channels some of his old self and we control things that way Encouraging part...we have the guys on defence this game to really be active....match up way better and possibly be in Arbuckles kitchen all night...so we may win a defensive slugfest....Defence and ST definately gonna have to pull this one out....Have zero belief that with Hogan calling shots...and what he has to work with that we are gonna score more than 2 TD's on offense

Booch replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
if what's being used aint doing the job....intelligence says try a different config....considering we told they all starter material...and if that's not better....get rid of them piece by piece until they actually play well....we dont do that...but we may be seeing that now to a certain degree....so I consider that progress....now the part about coaching them up effectively....we dont know who is better....cause we havnt tried anyone really other than Person getting on and it actually made us better...made WJ and Vaughters better too...so in essence we agree....But Right now most the blame has to be shouldered by Osh as he picked his roster...If the other's now getting a chance suck as bad...or worse...then yup..Walters better step shitup -

Probably from the get go really I think with Griffin....J.Jones and the best of the others we could have a really good LB crew but we def need to be constantly pounding the pavement for impact guys for the front 7 until we find it The DB's I think will be fine once they sort it out who is best where....but again....we should always be bringing guys in for looks...and or sniffing around othe PR's or who may be apt to trade -

to be honest Fox looked good in B.C too....but you hit nail on the head....the dline works in unison and just 1 or 2 crap guys getting moocho reps can make the others look inferior... Part of our problem is not recruiting legit studs...or targeting FA proven studs because we had this belief that for most part what we had in the middle was good...and clearly a few of them are not...and it impacts the others who are That being said...we are doing some mixing and matching and moving guys around...off roster...and on...and this is good and well done staff....see..I will applaud and give props where and when due...as well as call out things too which look to be hindering us Now......let's work on the coaching aspect with what's the best Defensive roster we have put out there this yr....use them in the best possible way and see how that shakes out...and show the ability to adjust and make changes on the fly On offence.....fingers crossed there...not sure what the plan is gonna be but I hope Jackson has had a lot of input -
Think Stoddard....
-
yeah agree on the Kramdi.....Our achilles heal tho on offence I think is Hogan...Hopefully Jackson has had a lot of input and is creating ways to utilize who we have on....but man that receiving group....worst in league in some time.... I would hope smart minds would realize more usage of J.Jones is a good thing....we shall see....I could see him off edge in some sets with the 3 other ends tho...he is a good blitzer and has shown knack to get sacks and pressures in T.O AGREED...HAPPY with the defensive sie...hopefully they use them appropriately...and use this to find the right mix and schemes...a couple more small tweaks and we could become dominant again Offense...eeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....Hope we have cooked something up that compliments what Strev can do well...and play off that
-
hey a win is a win...scratch and bite if we have to...I think the defense now ho may actually take games over with the talent now all on....Makonzo for Ball soon I hope....Maybe Woods for Ayers and we could be cooking kinda agree...not gonna scare anyone and be a big play threat and we already have a Clercius who is the same kinda guy...so a bit redundant but I guess when u have no depth...and choose to not even try a guy who has been impactful before thats what you get...Corcorran has shown he can catch As long as he is able to stay high and read whats going on...be over the top help and not bite on fake runs he may be alright there....He was killing us in coverage before, and tackling in space....so play smart...crash down when needed (which he does well) could be his calling there
-
well that receiving group is embarrassing....the defensive changes are an ujpgrade tho.....just one more spot to purge.....our offensive depth across the board tho is worst in league and not even close Kelly would be better...maybe a game or 2 to get his sea legs.....Hopefully Kramdi is as smart as the coaches claims and plays the snot outta safety....he was an achilles heal at SAM good defensive moves tho....Other than Ball and Thomas....but steps being made 🤘
-
That receiving group is god awful...bordering on pathetic...No Mitchell again...why we keeping him?.....we better be run run run with 2 backs on field constantly I like Parker at corner as thats where he best suited...and Finally Griffin at SAM....Thats gonna help us a ton and maybe Kramdi apparently knowing all the positions will be the field general back there we need.....With Kelly back we have a competent backup for him too Jones also finally gets to show what he is all about....unless he gets the Ayers treatment and no reps....Don't get the need for Ball tho....coulda used that spot in a better way
