Booch

Moses did too...he definately showed he knows whats going on...where to be....what to look for...and made plays and was all over doing it Chris Smith....Mr Generic....but I would say prob guy on offense with most explosive potential....hope he gets a huge work load against the Stamps he actually dissapointed in my opinion....and that was ....dissapointing

also....More credit needs to be levelled at Walters and his scouts for bringing in the guys for Osh to use...and at times not be using....and thats where I also critical of him not being more the "Boss" as opposed to buddy and calling coach out on some his poor decisions.... And yeah....as mentioned above...I dont wanna say the I told ya so as well....but have basically been saying it 2 yrs running now....I know some here like to go back and cherry pick things I said and bring them back to bolster a claim against what I said....or show some form of negativity...well go back and look for what @Mike just mentioned....specifically said we will feel this poor decions at the absolute worst time....and it's happened 2 yrs in a row now...Also said last year weeks after Garbutt arrived that there no reason he should not be playing...had the best first step of anyone and most explosiveness....go back and look....and who popped off the page last night showing exactly that?...yet we dressed Jackson...relied on Bennet....etc...etc.....why?....It's because at times our coach plays fav's and likes to reward guys at the sacrifice of a best roster....even if they just stand on the sidelines all game and dont even put a helmet on we got hit hard last yr at a critical time with injuries...and we had absolutely nothing to cover our butts.....cause we had role/teams players who our coach claims are all number ones....complete crap....you don't need to butter a pro's buns to make him happy if he not playing a big part...and if you do...then find some new pro's

there's a difference between delibirately doing something and seeing it..and stubbornly doing someting......and not seeing it....and he falls in there somewhere....Nobody said he needs to be shown the door...I have said I dont want him to be fired but he needs to chamge and evolve....Make sense too that if one side of the fence say's you cant put bulk blame on him for the losses......as he didn't play the game, then you can't put bulk of accolades on him for the wins either....it is only a fair assesment, and makes good sense. That being said, I along with @Mike and others will stand on the hill that Osh has final say on roster and game decisions and he did not put best roster out in last 2 cups to allow us to win, and made some poor decisions....but it's old news...past history and not gonna change.....but he can....and will he?...If we roll along 14-4 this year...get to the Cup and then blow it again with a less than best roster....some odd decisons...playing guys less than acceptable due to injury...it has definately become a concern and he has not learned from history

some people dont understand professional sports is a "what have you done for me now" business....not what have u done in the past We lost the last 2 cups...cups we should have won...and any coach worth anything will tell you thats a failure at the end of the season....and a few simple tweaks..changes...or changes in philosphy and we are prepping to win our 5th straight...deny it...argue it....agree with it....fact of the matter, more than anything our coaching failed us in the last 2 playoff runs....I could care less if we are a 15-3 grey cup champ...or an 8-10 Grey Cup champ...regular season wins and accolades mean diddly if you not slapping on a ring at the end of the day

yeah....I certain people will see a noticeable difference....and nore how he looked when he left college and came up to us the first yr

people dont realize that Strev throw a lot like Phillip Rivers did/does....and he had a pretty succesful and long career....and never had a dead or injured arm....

I dont see how Strev isnt the QB1B option and the short yardage guy ...this yr anyway....considering what he has done...what he can also do, and that the defense can't just assume it's a power dive yeah...some small nuances already make you see that when he comes in...it wont be the lapo package....that in itself will also keep him healthier as Lapo had him absorb way too much punishment...even for a bull like him....was so dumb

most the issues here is because I dont think Osh walks on water and will call out things...every coach I have ever played for..worked with, or known had faults...were far from perfect and most died on the hill due to them eventually...it happens to them all....some people tho can't accept that and see it only as an attack or knowing better...I never once said Osh should be gone, but he does have things that could be addressed....if people take it as I think I knoiw better, or am always right thats their choice, and their right....But I will talk from experience....from still being connected to the game with current and former players/regimes...and people can take it how they want....If i get abrasive and aggressive...well it's to be expected as thats how I played nd was coached...and was brought along not to settle....stand pat...and you had to earn your keep daily...nothing is given There's way more that have a great knowledge here....I'd say the best group in the CFL...you would also be surprised who some are...and there is a group that work on the mob mentality here too...which is also fine....and I dont disparage a true hard core fan who defends their squad...unless they start talking out the bumhole...

imagine where he would be at if he didnt have to endure that second season here, and just ran the playbook, and used his legs when requied....maybe a small personalized package.....Lapo almost ruined him

If we add Kyrie..BA...Holm..Nichols to the key guys we saw today...we will be just fine he always could throw....Lapo nueterd and actually stunted his progression....People think cause he has a bit of a weird delivery he cant throw...but actually his mechanics will probably mitigate and shoulder/elbow issues...

my experience here was the least of my experience actually...but you are correct

Imagine Strev....a few games in....totally back in the saddle and in the flow?....Good luck managing him when he has all the weapons out there with him that you can't cheat on by not paying attention to

Once Grant went down...special teams in all facets sucked...badly as a rider fan...and management....that couldnt have been a very encouraging showing to be honest...I'd be concerned

from my early take on what just seen...We will be better at QB2....Dline....Linebacker....Oline will be strong as ever....Receivers the same....running attack better....I think our defensive philosophy will be a much more aggressive attackig one than what Hall liked....I feel good from what I saw even from a pared down vanilla package....we put the right guys on the fielD on defense we are gonna have so many options and looks...it could be scary Wilson as QB 3 may be a nice guy to develop here....Love his body type for QB up here...coverage team scares me again...but maybe with more of the regulars in their role, and addition of guys like Moses...Gemmel..Pertrishen we may surprise

Education in sask...reading...etc is minimal

Teeth in crowd?

Wilson looking much better

I'd start ZC...Let him get what he needs...then roll with Wilson...let Barry clean up 4th quarter...and use Strev just to get in the short yardage groove...

How do we go from elite to complete garbage in a matter of 1 yr...and it has festered ever since ??

Wilson looks like a QB...pocket poise...moves nice to get in a throwing position..

Liking how Wilson has settled in..throws a good ball

Yeah Petrishen should be PR guy for sure What I liked about Moses is considering he a raw rookie..he was seeing what he should and where he needed to be Wilson looked good there...nice

It's hard to beat a team where every player in camp had been exceptional..as per rider radio...we stood no chance lol

If we put the right guys out there..I can see our front 7 being really strong...with better than adequate coverage with backups/depth...as long as said depth/backups aren't recipients of the reward system from previous yrs and block all that talent

Encouraged by first half...add a Kyrie..Nichols..Holm...BA to what we did with WJ..Lawson..FOx.. Garbutt...Haba..Cole..Moses..Ford...as our main 12/base defence...I'm not worried one bit to be honest ...the other corner up for grabs but even Thomas would not hurt us... Offense really was never a concern to me...pieces are there..just a matter of how we use them...
