Booch

we didnt win the Cup tho....and have regressed since if you wanna use the records as your metric....it's just like in stocks....Trying to time the market and buying right at the top never works...as usually things are already in motion and set for a big knife drop.....then you regroup and recoup lower down the scale....this is whats happening here....some mild and gradually things should have happened this spring

going into2021 season...made sense to keep the band together....going into 2022 as well for most part.....going into this year....having fell off the top....some flaws already exposed...some of our grinder/foot soldiers another few yrs older...some of our vets entering transition time....this should have been the year where we re-loaded a bit....looked to have some successors here either as back-ups or on the PR....Legit talents.....for the 2023 off-season to augment if need be, and transition a few areas, so that come the 2025 season we are set up...like 2021...good and full of fire across the board....deep all around.....

as other teams kept their new talent...so not gonna cut em for other teams...it was here...or nowhere...except for Wade...but he eventually got cut too...Other than a couple draft picks...we kept one new guy out of camp....thats not an indication either that our roster of holdovers was super awesome either

meh....not so much....coach makes the pie.....GM buys the supplies....and you don't want to get into the GM meddling with game day rosters....leads to all kinds of issues..never a good outcome He may be a bit mifed, maybe a lil bewildered, but he hired said coach to run team....so will be hands off for most part it's more this...Osh loves his vets...almost in a Dave Ritchie it gonna getcha way.....I am of the belief that we came into camp basically settled on who was starting....the same basic 23 guys as last year save for Walker but he got the nod cause...well he was here 3 yrs now so I guess was "owed" it??....Dunno but some guys in camp out performed hold overs....and where are they now?....not here

Farhan Burgess does have a nice ring to it

nope....nobody really who I can see I question at times our coaches ability to recognize, or utilize talent brought in as well....or put the time in to develop....several times, and a few recently I can think of off the top of my head.....Lucky Jackson and Barrington Wade...deemed not good enough here...or worth developing so we cut...and both land on NFL teams...Jackson still there, mind you Wade was released, but still...there was another one or 2 guys during this regimes time that escape me.

well keep him off the offense...as thats where he got hurt...or at least limit it...use him with motion to influence the defence and let someone else lug the rock....use him as bait lol

agree....especially when you look at and compare what he has done, and is doing in regards to some of the best all-time Canadian RB's best seasons....to me it's a slam dunk

The fact we actually need a true one until Miller gets back...whom btw was not a Fullback until his time in the CFL was about to be extinguished....and we cut the only one we had...who played it all through his college and albeit brief career, only to waste a DA spot on an American...who never played a snap of offence in his life...and only 4 yrs of actual football total...who is really adequate at best...with zero upside being 31 already to me just screams insanity...bordering on stupidity

touche my friend hahaha.....always could be worse haha my exact sentiment when we sucked....it was more a we had lousy players....not wasting spots with sub par guys, or misuse of a DA spot with having better on the PR....we had crap all around....top to bottom...and 5 to 8 legit stars...big difference I agree totally...but also this is a total failure ont he coaching staff too

Technically we need 2 Canadian DTackles...behind Lawson as right now we have none that are viable, or should be around for the future

Yeah they on the roster, so not looking at them as PR guys...we Have Fox, but thats it...and he is not a true 3 technique nose kind of guy Bizzare...also still have Garbutt, who has yet to see a snap....so how can you even decide between the 2, as from what they do in practice, and way practices are ran now gives you zero inkling in what a guy can do...and the clinging to guys still....who will never ever get on the roster is just as pointless....if after 5..6 weeks on there and you see no intent to even roster them, then move on oddest and lamest unless out of the blue Miller appears...but he didnt for this game, maybe after bye??... first 5 are worthy....and Richmond...the rest should all be purged and replaced with guys who could have a shot of backing up...or stealing a job

never heard anyone say he lost the room....where that come from....I never said that.....but have said his roster makeup and use of PR is lacking....and If Osh was gone next yr, and Walters brings in complimentary pieces' to camp to compete....we would do as we are....the culture is there....and a big part is because of who Walters...McManus and Goevia bring in, and the vet leadership that will still be here next yr in whatever form that is will continue on....Things won't fall into Rider style disarray just because the HC was gone...Oshea has even said so himself...He allows the players to police and run the room...If anything a new coach if he saw the issues....complacency and maybe the lack of performance due to not feeling your job is in jeopardy...roster deficiencies would actually do something about it...who knows...

Good ol Jackie Moon....lol...he plays no favorites Lions front will be a comin' hard...8 guys who all can make plays...compared to our front line.....it's kinda embarrassing

I hope for best too....and the guys come out prepared and ready right from the first snap......tho I do not in the least believe we just put out our best roster available to us for this game...no way in hell

we have no viable Canadian back up anywhere on our roster or PR other than Bolo and 2 Olineman...thats bad...absolutely nothing on defence.....No legit import prospects at Linebacker,...Or Dtackle/Nose....even now at HB as we just jettisoned a guy who fared well...

constantly?....he is smug....and I can call him...or whomever I want what I want within reason....if you dont like it hike up your skirt and grow a pair...People use different names for people on here all the time....and you just called me an a hole...uncalled for and maybe i should be like you...and one up you and cry to a moderator for you to be banned....would be within my right?... no?....I cant help when u eating your toast in mamas basement you dont like what u read

sweatr number he would wear if 3 olineman go down....which is a 99.99999 percent uncertainty

Our PR has been a joke and mess all yr...thank god we still have Machino and Schmeckle....2 guys that will never ever....or should i say never ever should see the roster

SmugShea will have a comment....all our guys are first team and starters...so we all good...Aka Hallett...Kelley...Exume....Great ST guys....not even close to starter material at HB...Corner...Sam....We have BA to cover all those spots, and from what I have seen this yr for most part....he could be a liability there against a group like the Lions will be trotting out

which really isn't ideal to be honest....unless he plays differently than has been at safety we get gouged and embarrased...what if Willie Or Jeffcoat goes down?...Or walker?..Basically have fat out of shape Jake all game and wayyyyyyyy too much Bennett running around doing absolutely nothing

he totally is.....or he scared to take him off....just another lame Depth Chart...especially with BC's full compliment on offence...Lawrence for Clements should have been a no brainer...Burtenshaw ...an actual Fullback for stupid stupid STUPID use of Jackson and then another DE or Fox....Unbelievable...and Look for Krmdi to have his lunch eaten all night...and then they give him the empty sandwhich bag to toss out for them.....This could get ugly fast with a worn out front 4...and way too much Thomas and Bennett Hope that Grant keeps us at the 50 yard line on average for drives and the mad dialed in ZC shows up

some head shakers....not surprising tho....I wouldn't say morons per say....Just a HC who has and plays favorites at the expense of guys who could really help, ...and it's not a good thing/look People can use excuses that "they know more"..."must be a reason".....only agree with the must be a reason, and it's not a beneficial one to the team in long haul

Hopefully being pinned deep will alleviate that mind set

Field position battle alone dictates what a team will/can do on both sides of the ball...his return is huge
