Booch

was fully practicing all week several weeks ago too played a full yr rookie yr....had a season ending injury in 2023 in game 6 that wiped out his 2024 season.....injury in TC but if you go watch practice since mid season....is fine...and if one of Osh's Boi's would be on roster....other players have played that could barely walk let alone run....guy is hardly a lost cause...You dont just toss away Canadian guys who can start or contribute in rotation and excel on teams for no reason other than an "injury" Just look at what we did with Patrice Rene....had an injury riddled rookie yr here...went on to B.C and has played 16...17 and 13 games so far this yr.....always up there with league leaders in ST tackles (right up our alley) and is more than useful in defensive reps...

Dang @Gail I missed that original post...impressive retort lol

Elbow Much like Parker 2 yrs ago...was ready and coulda played a month before he actually got to...and he was not impressed but didnt rock the boat Osh does it his way...and its far from the best or ideal

better question....chances of us winning even with them?.................

Good list.....going back yeah Ritchie and Mathews got best outta their squds Actually over looked alot is Mike Riley for us...Under Murphy he was a damned good DB coach and then as HC teamed up with Ritchie as head coach in 1990 to put out a damned fine defense...Many prob don't recal back then a lot of times you didnt really have a DC per say...but was a group effort....He was a highly underated Defensive mind by the average Joe, but players and coaches know what he brought...also a reason why he was in the NFL and NCAA as long as he was....If he wasnt lured away and was here for 5 to 10 yrs we wouldn't have been lost in the wilderness and Osh be chasing him as winningest coach...Dude was just the best Rod Rust as well was an innovative mind and formed defenses to suit his players

hahaha....well I guess I used to be bouncing ay Teasers

yeah....would be....Puts more of a face so to speak behind the username Was interesting just hearing of some here...and some of the ages!

well in all honesty....i truly believe it's just cause Osh likes him...and thinks he offers value.....Not a good indicator of his ability to assess talent really when you look at it...cause if he thinks he's better out there than all our other DT's....based on his reps....he's really out to lunch, especially considering he offers no upside...is old..what...34 now?...and is very limited in what he could do, pretty much from his first yr

Youngers system will work...but needs legit dline rotation with guys who are active...and possess slick technical skills...and know how to use hands...and can overpower and finesse we have 2 guys with all that...WJ...Person...Vaughters not as technical but has others and is smart Adams has good tech...hand skills and power...but needs to be allowed to grow/learn...Woods prob best all round DT...why he not on is baffling Lawson power and versatile The rest...posssss almost none of what you want in our scheme for regular reps...any reps really

Yeah...field and real world experience in my opinion...and experience rules The book smart and calculator reliant guys were some of the worst engs I know I have site experience...inspection..GPS survey..and robotics...actually train people in it...so if you thrive in the dirt and see what the calcs and paper dictate...but can't figure out how to make it work in the real world...and more times than not 2d nonesense never does in the field...well...you flounder I way out the box...have to be...thats why Osh and his status quo and resistance to change...tweaks drives me nuts...I also coach yhe same way Yup...the busiest guy doing nothing! Seen it all too often If engineer companies aren't trying to poach you from where u currently are...you got no chops... I been poached 3x...chop chop lol

To some extent yup...that's why I like to get out in the field and in the dirt too lol

Consider that Brown's first yr...even 2 more times than not looked lost...panicked and not really a viable option...yr 3 is when he actually looked like he had something....

Defense is Youngers (DC's) design, that being said...The HC has play sheet for both offence and defense and will more times than not also call plays "he" wants based on situation...down/distance...field position...etc....also what player packages he wants....Obviously the last yr all the above have not been on the same page/mindset OC guy actually doesn't even have a page...dude is useless and in over his head and Osh will do nothing about it because it will just confirm he screwed up....and he never accepts responsibility for messing up....always has an excuse so we stuck with it thru the yr sadly...

Actually....I do have to use math in Engineering....and I hate math...go figure

What am I waiting for on a roof?

I'm just a smidgen over 50...I'll make sure to keep posters riled up for you old souls to keep ya young 😁 They got fat and sassy and lost their edge Guess im a wiley vet

Hence...why we at where we are...sad

100 percent...but a lot of the ch-cha changing is 1...2...3 yrs too late

Agreed with lack of pressure.....no rushed passes...no disruption of the QB....all time to throw...DB's will look bad....just way it is And a couple simple changes...who know's the results but you need to try....because why do you have guys hanging around then?....but continuing to do the same thing...thats been failing...who keeps doing that? And really....can it be any worse???

would love that as well...but man we gotta be realistic...as we are now...and obviously no intent to bring anyone in....that's not happening and definitely not too late....what we have...4...5 games left when Maston and Taylor stepped in and turned our season on defence? DT's and ends....bull dozing rb....easiest guys to integrate with minimal practice/time in the CFL....X receiver too

time for ground and pound offence....slide protection....moving line...pulling giiards and Tackles...we were doing that a bit in the beginning...when we actually had a winning record....but went away from it........Bring in another big import bruising back to run with BO who can catch....and pound the ball and take short to intermediate shots when defense creeps.....the deep shot here and there will be there when we set the tone Like running the veer or triple option..thats how you utilize an inferior oline in protection to be succesful...you need an athletic center tho who can move, so Hello Eli...see ya Kolo....he wouldnt be worth snot in that scheme...Eli would tho...be right up Wallace's alley right now, as well as Randolph

thats a good thing...we need T.O to lose and desperately need to beat Ottawa to keep a few games between us and them as we are likely gonna have to cross over.....and that prob our best route for any success in post season as we aont winning 2 on the road in the west unless both teams ahead of us lose their starting Q.B and maybe some other key piece...and even then, I cant see success attainable Maybe we become the first crosover team to make it in history...into our own barn too....that be a good story after all this crappola

yup....That would just incur another brainwave decision to promote from within like the piss poor OC fiasco.... way less upheaval to the organization....

You always say this....but you dont know that..You just assume Osh is this god at talent evaluation...and he isnt.....and has shown that yr over yr....You say nobody is better, but thats just your opinion too....where's the proof?...cause Dear Leader who has failed us 3 straight yrs hasnt gave them a shot?...You quick to throw all the blame on Walter's yet continue to give Osh a pass.... And again...other than CIS scouting Walter's does zippo with boots on the ground...none.... And in your other post...saying the likes of Woods..Adams and even Pointer who we cut...wouldnt offer us more than Schmeck..Thomas...Korn....then I guess you are "out to lunch"...your words not mine And T.Jones is better than J.Jones?...where's that proof? Before J.Jones got hurt...and T.O flipped ratio he was damn good...actually run stopper...guy who could get home on blitz and get sacks...3 yrs younger....better ST player...faster....better pro day numbers And if a coach realizes he's using sub par talent...yet refuses to ask for an influx....or try a PR guy or guy they hiding on the 1 game...how is that the fault of the G.M? We have a world of problems in several areas...dissconnect....a failing/failed process....stagnation....not the preferred destination anymore...likely from the latter....and the guy basically running the team and the day to day process, makes his roster...and is in charge of coaching....ain't gettin er done....and you have a hard time accepting it I used to praise Osh...when it was warranted....it's not so much now...so praise he won't get now unless he does something to re-earn it so obviously the "coach" see's no need...nobody else can shoulder that....christ he wont even use the guys that been here all yr...some for 2....like he's gonna insert a totally new body Osh as a G.M would be a colossal failure on soooo many levels history shows...in all sports....a Coach will go before a G.M 9 times outta 10 Unless the G.M shows total incompetence on several levels....Walter's hasnt shown that at all

with the off-season signings....and the lack there of too Nobody can admit that Thomas...Kolo...Wilson...T.Jones...were not cemented in as the day 1 starter....regardless what occurred in camp anyone saying otherwise and that if pushed by a newcomer...or rookie that Osh would have made the swap is just full of crap....we all knew...many of us said it....christ a couple were day 1 starters with barely any work in camp
