Booch

he decides the roster....so yeah...it's on him.....and if he pushed for certin vets.....I would think going forward the G.M will maybe goa different direction and not take the HC assesment as he be all end all exactly this....Walter's could have said..ok...we will sign old guy X and declining talent guy Y...but if a new player outperforms...and show's seruious upside...then get out the snips....and Osh and his wise assesment went the wrong way... my take...and will ruffle feathers I am sure but I think it more of a case that Osh isn't the be all end all many thik...and that he is prone to lapses in judgemet and game management...and has a serious flaw of buying into and running with his own bias's..even if not for the better of the squad.....he did well when he had a roster flush with stars...and guys intheir prime who were foot soldiers...and secondary depth guys......and we won despite of a lot of his bad coaching decisons and roster makeup But look at the 3..4 yrs prior to the run...and the last lil bit of late....poor record...bad choices...and no answers....relienton the past ...and really if he needs to coachhis way out...he struggles...it's pretty apparent in the end...it's the head coach who will decide who is on the roster...will take into consideration whathis assistants suggest, and say....but in the end it's his call. He may also dictate as to how/what the game plan to be and the Co-ord will make it happen..as best he can....he can only work with what he has...and if the HC says I want to see player X play so many snaps...player Z as well...player Y to just be used as a bit player to spell off...who-ever...well the co-ords hands are tied

Thats exactly it...work the transition now....so they already established so to speak next yr...Same with Eli at center...Gys like Jake..BA...Kola...Biggie..Wilson...actually getting a true impact SAM in place now.....aren't our future...christ they not our now....we just ensuring right now that next yr..come camp..we are basically starting from scratch...trying to find the answer then...the time is now....and thats where we have been failing since 2022...no succession plan anywhere....and no actual attempt to really develop anyone...and the few guys we kind of did..Fox...Cole...Garbutt....all should have been in heavy rotation last yr already if not the actual starter

forgetting to mention...4 time MOL....Should have been 5 but was robbed...elite player....multiple all-stars.... Jake has?....... and thats just the poorest, most pathetic retort.....And shows we will be stuck with him gettiing major reps unless he gets hurt....or Walter's doesnt sign him...and thats just pathetic...and we have 3..4 guys on our roster who fall in the same boat...and why we been handicapped and neutered for last several yrs...and will be again this yr

which isn't helping our overall talent on roster....sure it's just on "Paper"....but thiose allocated guys are getting majority of snaps....not good

actually....no...not really...When Lawson back for sure....but right now...and leaning more toward 30 fronts....not at all as Schmeck and Thomas are basically pointless in that set-up technically you need to start 8 BUT that 8th can be the Nationlaized American....But our HC is on his stubborn soapbox as he didnt like that rule and didn't use it...until last game where I think he was finally told??...Not sure that is 100% accurate....but I almost certain it was

so....status quo even tho 0-3...looking like dog crap...and using some less than optimal players...okie dokie

and the fact he is not needed there to meet the ratio on any given snap with both Ford and Kramdi on feild....it's just pathetic that he gets that usage....much less even on the roster....put Samson on to see if he can play and develop along with schmeck and they can split the 20 snaps a game

beer...lol

wonder if he tracking pointless/useless snaps....no impact....no affect on the play?...lol

I dont believe nor take much of what comes out of his mouth for much other than pointless babble If Alston was hurt, then maybe they did have designs on him being part of the plan....he has the tools it would seem, and obviously should know the playbook. Some these injuries can and will be a blessing in disguise, and force us to actually look and evaluate some players in a legitimate manner....and based on the pre-season games...and parts of the firat 2 gaes before the injuries came we have the makings of a real good dline....and could see quite an influx of talent later in the summer when they all get back to health. Hopefully we let BA "rest" next game and then just keep 6 gaming him...let him get his pay for hisyrs of service that way, as opposed to Oshin' it as we have been with guys actually on the roster....Maybe the coaches will realize Thomas tweeked something in practice too and park him there as well....tough for him to get hurt when he tippy toeing around, and not going full bore like the other guys tho, or having no lateral moves where he may tweek something....and I guess the old adage goes there you can't pull...or injure fat. Maybe this yr, our best option is to get hot after labour day and crawl into the cross-over....knock MTL off in the East Final...that be a nice redemption and win the Cup as the East Champs...cause right now we in a big hole and I have a hard time seeing us host a home playoff game with what we have seen Stick Holm there...and use a combo of Nichols..Bridges and Griffen as the HB's...Bond is solid on the corner...and Ford is finding his mojo

there's a Canadian Dlineman too...who can play inside or outside...from Winnipeg too...

yeah but we been to 4 cups lol.....as I said before....despite and in spite of some the idiotic things we been doing going on 3..4 yrs now

and just think....weare saddled with a big assed amount next yr too...part of which is gauranteed....super fun

we have a bad habit of playing way too many guys out of position...and for no apparent reason other than....I guess Osh's prference??...Dunno but it not skill and effectiveness related...thats for sure

man....how we have became so bad...so fast....right across the board...I think we got lightning striking at right time with the luck of having some upper echelon talent carry us thru despite the short comings and inadequacies...I truly starting to think that unless Osh has the legit horses...he just aint that good...seems to have no clue at times, and some of his beliefs and traits are seriously flawed...and his sug arrogance needs a re-adjustment....

was deemed not good enough over guys we kept.....so bring him back?...as opposed to finding a new guy?.....like cmon man....I'd take Lucky before any camp cut....

told u all that....happens all the time...either tippy toein up to the play after...with no use or purpose...or cantget off a block inside...guys useess but Osh thinks he a stalwart guy cant punt us out of danger...at all....punts from in between our 15 and 15 yard line barely get to mid field...we give away so many easy points game in and game out HC gets input and say in who/what he wants...and sure he pushed hard for them...I thibnk moving forward Walter's will not trust in Osh's judgement or assesment as much...as it is flawed and horrible I also dont fault WJ as he playing with backups to the bacjk ups essentially and likely is also told to hang back and try and disrupt throwing lanes.... By mid season hopefully....if we see a WJ...Garbutt and Fayed rotation as I believe Haba is done.....with healthy use of Fox..Woods and Adams...Let Hubert grow into a role, thats a solid main 7....Schmeck I had hoped for more and step forward a bit, but guess it's hard when Thomas gets an ungodly amount of snaps. I also been a big BA supporter but damn....dude looks inadequate now...and lost....Move Holm there as I still think he is just to weak and ineffective at HB...Too much after the fact plays....or stick Kelley there when healthy and totally eliminate the need to have to use so much Canadiana on the DL as we just don't have the horses for that..Unless Lawson gets back sickening when yer Pappi is the coach...U get all the treats

goin Strev again

He could with legit rotation

I Said before...we got there in spite of coaching and I stand by it

I like Bonds.. he gonna be a gooder

Not with Thomas on nose

He's a horrible tackler too...usually good for 2 whiffs a game....

Kramdi again...lost in coverage...so easy to confuse him game in and out

Smart coach would send out Fayad...woods..adams and Willie extensively for this series...let them go loose..and keep the intensity
