Booch

Kolo gets trucked and pushed into pocket repeatedly...has a huge difficulty switching blocks or recognizing what's flashing in front of him and who to take....plus he is undersized, which bodes well only with an extremely athletic center...and he's not that either Eli has untapped potential and upside....but hard to tap it...or see the upside when not given a chance...and it's mainly due to the way Osh does things.....to not even try to see, and upgrade your roster is kinda foolish....you should always try to be better Same said with on the Dline....Thomas is what he is...is not a future piece here...yet he plays and plays and plays...Let Schmeck take his reps...Thomas take Schmecks...and see what he has, and if he is a capable back-up to Lawson.....and then go a step further and allow Samson some field time too...I think he has more potential than Schmeck actually, but good luck getting a look the way we do things. Thomas at this point should be injury replacement insurance, or the guy who gets 5..7 snaps a game and is there in case we have 2 olineman go down....nothing more

convo is good....I didnt see any better play from Kolo....Randolph was real good...Lofton has been good of late, and with Randolph there he looked really good last game...hopefuly that is the new norm Kolo I would assume stays as depth for this yr...I still think the 7 oline guys is a waste, and that roster spot could be filled with a more useful player, and for the times we run all 7 at once, we could use any big body really....but we seem to think that extra oline guy for 4 reps a game is best use of a spot...I disagree

I dont come here for credibility....but thanks for the concern lol bUT if you think Osh is all that...and places the best options in some spots then all the best to you Kolo isnt our best option but we stuck with him cause Osh thinks he's all that some see it....but again is what it is,,,,and this is exactly it....guy was on scrap heap for 2 yrs....nobody wanted....and we never know what we have in this regime as guys never get a true chance....many here can argue it all they want but it's a fact Kolo has no potential now....he reached his ceiling and it was a low ceiling...he not the future...so why continue??...makes zero sense...same with Thomas...BA...Biggie....but Osh gonna Osh as he cant see talent through bias so he went from shitty...to not as shitty??...and he looked better...maybe...tho I never saw it as he had an active and athletic guard beside him cleaning things up.... because if the center went down....then Eli would have to slide over, and someone else slide to guard...and in effect you have 3 changes in game to cover one injury....for once Osh did something with roster for a game that actually made sense and was the right thing.....now use the break to swap out the center....and see what that gives you on your interior....as opposed to standing pat

AND give Lawler the ball in stride...or in space he is a yac machine and very hard to bring down

I think Lawler was basically just bad luck....and a few of his injuries were from insane catches....bailing out a qb on a less than perfect throw....I not too concerned it would be an every yr thing Schoen gets the stuffing beat out of him too from less than ideal QB ball placement...and also having balls forced to him sometimes when they shouldn't...Kudos to his ability to make the grabs....but needless abuse from it

Damn broccoli heads I had forgot bout that lol

oh forgot about Manu....

welcome to our world....looks like we might be climbing out of injury hell a bit

yeah that was my understanding...wasnt intnded to be a yr long thing

couple guys there I wish we coulda fleeced Jones for actually..... When is Tre Ford contract up?...this winter?....Maybe him and bro end up together here

Didnt Councl just kinda show up to help with injury issues?...and wasn't necessarily planning on a full yr...I may be wrong but that the impression I got

Mace prepared as he usually did..The Elsk were just better...and won...end of story More or less just word gymnastics by coach to assure goofy rider fanbase they will be better...especially when it looks like the usual in season swoon has started earlier than usual We will see this week if/what any difference is apparent...I expect nothing really out of the norm...And an Ottawa win by 2 scores

I think we fine for next 3..4 yrs at least with an interior of Dobson..Wallace and Eli..as our main 3 Nationals...we need to get some young guys behind them....so draft is key, or we can go via free agency and get a up and comer going into his second contract...not too concerned there as we seem to know how to scout/draft and develop there Demski for most part this yr was trying to do too much and carry the load knowing we were so gouged at WR from injury....can't fault hi for that, and old habits from past crept in when he wasn't acutely aware of ball security...Once Lawler comes back...Wilson keeps developing and the addition of Lucky now...we will see him back to his usual self...not overly concerned there, and with the amount we have had on the 6 game this yr I can see a renegotiate withhim for 2025 with some of that money coming this yr...the seemingly quietness of Walters and the non-moves leads me to think we will see a couple of those happen this yr, to help load up for 2025....ZC included he is better than Kolo now....Osh politics Also tho I think it was more they didnt want to rely on Wallace yet as an in game replacement at guard if Kolo was to go out with injury in game and Eli had to assume center...and it makes a lot of sense actually when you dig into it....Also Osh alluded in one of his usually useless pressers that Eli was the backup center in part of his rambling....if u were to read between the lines....for once in a long time I actually side with Osh there on a roster tweak....Wallace may not be ready for starting guard work....with no reps all week.....yet....as I believe he is gonna be there next yr....and be dominant

and would put a nice chunk of $$ back into the SMS for somewhere else a well Especially of we move from Neuf..Thomas..Biggie..Kolo...BA....even a guy like Gauthier and JA for next yr....we can free up some vet money there as well for 2025

sad eh??

I like the lapo and Ferguson combo..informative...talk football...no Suitor stupidity...nice Beggelton I pretty sure is Jake from State Farm too

He couldn't stop slobbering over Patterson for Christ's sake

Basically had to...hoping the recent success of how we deploy the guys up front will continue and they scale down Thomas's reps even more

I totally see that as well

I wouldn't discount WJ...second in sacks...first in QB pressures...I believe knock downs too...on a top defence

oh yes...my bad.....He can take Thomas right out of the equation

thats coming once fall arrives....you can book that yup....he's not just a battering ram....and if used with more variation...he could be lethal

Yeah...he will be a nice piece along with Lawler...I think he really trusts Clercius too which is good...and the fact now he will use BO like Harris was used for us on the dumps and check downs...is really gonna open stuff up in the intermediate and deeper areas...especially with Lucky lurking around underneath

I don't think the next 2 are a split now...we have seemed.to really found a defensive rotation that's working now...If Randolph is real.deal at guard...Lawler back...Lucky now in mix...maybe ZC and Buck changing our offensive philosophy...I can't see Sask scoring more than us to win either those games....A win in BC after the bye...a convincing one I can actually see a real run coming up

Yeah...we were prob worst in league when u played us...and Hamilton was right on our heals...Elks....so really what's the dispute..u beat up on all winless teams...and have to add...were gifted a couple games...luck doesn't last 18 games
