Booch

I agree with your agree

In all honesty....many here could prob do that for us and have it be succesful

he had a foot out the door until told to make a QB switch and Walter's provided him a stacked lineup that even the dumbest of fools couldt mis-manage The locker room essentially built itself with the vets brought in...Osh himself even has said multiple times he rarely goes in and he lets his vets run the culture/show...Sure credit to him for fostering it...But also bad on him for also not feeling the vibe and recognizing when there could be fissures...you cant just stay in cruise control and assume the vets are handling things...complacency enters the room just as fast as it enters the coaching ranks

Go back if you have the time and know how and see I gave Osh praise and credit...when and where it was warranted....and when it stopped being warranted...I dont stick my head in the dirt like many and cling to the yeah but's 2...3 yrs ago does matter....as it is a direct correlation to what the current issues are....It's funny that we had Danny Mac when we won....and now...We have had several other conantations of a scouting dept as well both when we won...2...3 yrs ago...and now....BUT.......there is one constant...and that would be Osh...power of deduction needs to be done 1 by one As for Walter's...he doesn't go on the road in the U.S and bird dog...He will watch CIS ball and he negotiates the deals...But of all the scouting team he does the least in refards to turning over stones...going to mini camps...attending regional combines down south...as well as attending independent ones...Thats not his role A guy as smart as you should have already known that...No? And guys cut who aren't immediately signed elsewhere is just a nonsense point...just like all the other teams, as they have their own staff who they have invested time and money into and trust in, and use their own resources..... and wont scrap heap other teams cuts right after camp...let alone by season mid point...thats also one the reason's we lost one of the best up and comer scouting guru's who chose to follow TG as opposed to stay here and put time and effort into his off-season to just watch his handiwork get shuttled out the door with nary a chance in lieu of a HC's favorites...and aging out inferior vets and ZC got hurt wose than MBT and Osh refused to pull him and we got royally arse whipped in an embarrasing loss...so whats your point?...Right...you have none other than to combat me and lose...again....please continue as the forum enjoys it Go back to your usual "he's cooked" retort on players....it's about all you got dunno...as that seems polar opposite to our draft strategy

6 of this...half dozen of that....Its a tough thing to figure out the issue...Is it the scouts are not bringing in the right talent...Or is it Osh doesnt have the eye in evaluating and keeping the better player...I tend to lean that way soley on the fact of what we seen with just guys "on" the roster...He has repeatedly over the yrs played the lesser talent...wont go into the who's and when's as it been well documented enough. And looking back at history is also just a way to fail...some guys who haven't pushed the needle tho...never got reps to develop before hand so when dropped in...for sure they seemed inadequate...we also would play guys out of position...example of one....Ayers at DE....He not a DE...So of course he would look lousy there Another thing to factor in...is our actual "coaching" up to par to prepare guys to succeed? I think also it's not as we have seen repeatedly...especially the last several yrs vet's who look like crap and a rookie new to the league...they didnt forget how to play over night..Thats game prep and coaching...Sure a guy has to mentally check himself into the game, but if he's questioning and unsure of scheme, has had minimal coaching prep leading up to it....well we get what we have seen in guys like Nichols..Holm...Krandi..etc....confusion...appearance of being beat...lost in space...Thats from lousy pre-game prep...by coaching I agree with you for most part....All area's need to be shored up from GM down...But also is Osh saying what he wants in a player and we accommodating it?..Is he the one saying find me essentially all tweeners for the Dline so I can play them all over the line...and in less effective roles?...and he doesn't want just a true Nose/DT?...Seems likely to me cause why would we have not addressed that since basically the days Nevis and Stove?...thats 5 yr and running now. We can break it down ion 10 different ways, but based on a whole whack of in game decisions from Grey Cup games to reg season ones...Issues with poor roster use...ie...dressind a DA who doesnt take a snap while we have areas where one could help piss poor production...Playing Canadians excessively on defence when not needed and where an import more than likely is the better option....coming out unprepared and outclassed...more times than not...all coaching decisions and root of 90% of the suckage Danny Mac...Walter's...Miller...They have no hand in that...and yes maybe they should have stepped up...or stepped in about it...but also has been documented already that Osh got all pissy about a decision Walter's was making...cant recall the exact specifics off top my head...but that right there tells a lot of where the issue is...Same with when questioned in media and his response...and whiny response well....if we being honest...Rockstar Dinwiddie with a lesser team stole Osh's lunch in 2 Grey Cups

yes...and no...he hasnt disproven said myth tho...and we will never know if he doesnt make a move...any move...christ just 1 fricken move...Start a Canadian center...Roster a Singer or Womack....see the results....but we all know he wont Drop a Moxy...Use Allen...Jackson....Texada...see the results...we know he wont... Drop useless Korn and add even the Global...give him rotational reps...see whathe brings....again...we know he wont...Osh has no sensibility to even try if for anything to create a spark some where...In his pea brain whoever he closed camp with and declared a starter, and roster fill...is what it is and will die with it only unless an injury where a guy physically cant go dictates change...and history shows he will still even play a injured far from effective player over a backup...thats fact So yeah fact of the matter is with osh we have no clue what back-up or PR player would be better...or what lineup reconfiguration would benefit us...cause he refuses to do it

which makes even more sense to not worry about the Admin/Coaches cap and cut ties this yrs end if we flop...he will be off the books if hired elsewhere...so not a big concern....and certainly there is an organization or 2 blinded by the success to take him on...I encourage it lol really?...maybe a loaded team already...but if brought in to resurrect one...cant see it...nope...He wasnt the defacto reason of the turn around....and the evidence we have seen since the firs cup loss with a still loaded team...and the subsequent things all contributing to the slide...and yes we sliding....I dont see garuanteed turn around just cause he is there

yeah...since 2022 he has degraded in a huge way visually....something is definitely going on there...dont like to assume or create rumours but he has a lot of the classic signs of someone who likes to have a few drinky poo's

and I think therein lies the disconnect assbag inventor over his head....too nice....wanting to be too much one of the boys...he wasnt ready I bet now tho...with top notch coords he would make a good HC...And he is one to take chances...actually play to win

we would run Grant into the middle and traffic...dumb from get go yup...full motion along the line of scrimmage...get him ball off edge with one guy there...or even us in jet motion sweep to pull coverage and see who is manned up for that..Vets like Demski..White should easily see this post snap and know exactly where to go to find the open space

Demise of Corky Jones too...but he also had being an assbag factor into it too

man...I really think he is suffering from some kind of mental issues and possibly needs help...something aint right there

I dont think its been made known to the media/public...but yeah..be a miraculous recovery tho if he could make it back this yr

Knocked himself out running into his olineman too..and makes sense as had all the tools...empty upstairs tho..but super nice guy Jamie Foxx cousin..helped him get ready for Any Given Sunday too

Basically yeah..only players osh would insert new to the team is a vet cut free..and even thats probably a stretch Allen

well we better be...lol

we need short term tho right now if we want a chance at playoffs...Lewis' skill set and what he good at isn't really an age dependent thing either in my opinion, especially coming in not having to be a big time number 1 home run hitter Sadly looking at the landscape its the only real option we can parachute in right now to immediately put in lineup and help...there gonna be no other gifts dropped into our laps. We all know even if Walters brought in the second coming of a young Bryant...Biggie...Bolden...Stegal...that Osh wouldnt play the anyway....a tired and true vet is the only kind of player that will break into a shitty Osh roster And his addition may also help the defense as it will surely mean the offence will stay on field longer helping in sustaining drives

Yeha....if the trinity pulls head out of arse you can turn a season around in the CFL in mid flight...Pieces are there...just a few minor tweaks and scheme adjusts...and a bit better roster optimizing, and not stopping the scouting and recruitment...should be an ever ongoing thing...There are guys out there if you look hard enough that could be dropped in and help this team now...no reason to wait till the off-season As for tackloing the best guy...prob last 3 yrs...Griffin was the only one really consistent with tackling...and actually used real technique...sadly he gone for the yr I'd say the next best in form and consistency is Smith...and prob one of the best on team in using his angles to close gaps....pursuit angles...and closing speed...But man what more does he have to do other than get some blackmail pics on Osh to get the damn gig

Lewis tho has a history and knack for the tough catches...we need that. As @wbbfan said as well some of his measurables are outside the norm of the typical 6'..6'-1" WR so as to why it seems like he is a bigger reciever...and why NFL teams go to the extremes in measurables with players...they look at everything ...literally Some of Browns INT's this yr were the direct result too of the receiver giving up zero fight for the ball...and just basically outmuscled out...Doesnt happen with Lewis, and in season past even Tho Lawler and Adams were slighter guys...but them..Bailey....even Woli could muscle their way into the reception and make a less than perfect throw sucessfull. Those balls with them as the recipient likely were not intercepted....that's where we lacking...Only guy we really have right now to be that kind of guy is Clercius and we havnt really integrated him back into things yet since he been back.. And really a WR in this day and age at 33 is hardly a player with a deficit...and sometimes just presence on the field alone would add room to the other guys...Fact of the matter adding him to a group with White, Pokey and Demski and either or of Clercius and Neild totally changes the look of that group and actually would have DC's in the league changing up how they run coverages on us....Especially if we get back to using BO as we should be

we prob have to be the biggest offending team with guys diving at the shins trying to topple a ball carrier...or like you said...trying to make the big shoulder hit and either they bounce off...get trucked or the ball carrier just shrugs it off and keeps trucking I thought we got rid of the worst of the worst at that in Houston....obviously not...But fundamentally our tackling skill and technique here...mainly in the secondary are just horrible....and it can be easily fixed with doing some the things I mentioned in an earlier post and actually dedicating time to it in practice, and or having habitual offenders yanked from loneup to send a message...Both instances are coaching related and need to be adressed with coaching...but we have seen that for most part our coaching and how we go about the day to day things is sorely lacking too

Were they all catchable balls tho..were they off target..uncatchable..were they blatant drops..were they a matter of him and Maier not being on same page?..a lot can be factored into it.

Even pros need to..and have to work on even the basic fundamentals..as bad habits creep in fast...and then become the Instinctive move But I agree...when we were successful we had guys like Biggie..BA..Adams...Bailey..guys who took zero bs..to lesser extent Woli and a few others who quietly led...Bryant as well who didnt have to say anything but when he did...everyone listened..prob still do but sadly his on field stuff is shell of what it was They self policed and managed the team...it was in cruise control but now cruise is off and the coaches can't drive...part is talent..a lot coaching..but I still stand with the notion the HC made poor choices

Barbara Corcoran from Judy Lindsey realty would offer more as I said before Cobb I am okay with as canadian depth behind the top 3..he has purpose and really if/when on field if we used him in jet motion he would garner attention and allow us presnap to see who is covering...and one our vet receivers could see that open space and exploit it..that could be too complicated tho for TC Cobb does also have dependable hands and can do something after the catch if used appropriately...plus he won't hurt you on returns if pressed into duty 💯 percent

Basically..a non answer...aka no clue as to what...and why...and how to correct...watching film excuse and correcting errors only goes so far and gets old fast...especially when you can't even see what needs correcting

The fact that our tackling by a lot of guys...well sucks..and had for multiple seasons..and we have a HC who is not some all time tackling guy...is he not? And has a roster of inadequate tacklers is kinda odd in that he can't pass on that knowledge and skill...maybe even recognize true tackling machines in player assessments.. and more importantly...obviously can't coach up players and teach
