2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News
Booch replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
That's a deal with no money...and no guarantee he even gets to camp...could be set free when CFL season has started...and will be left gathering peanuts -
Houston replacement already here in either Holm or Parker .as well as some interesting guys coming to camp Kid from Hawaii prob get tons of reps and chance to pin down that RT position...and I can see if we re-up Gray he will be slotted there as well to compete...haven't looked at our signed guys for camp on online...know we brought Ivy back...tho don't recall what he looked like to be honest...but we carried him half the yr so musta been something we saw
-
On going talks and then final offers..then some silence or non communication is standard fare...what else you supposed to do? That's standard fare until this new tampering window. As for JJ...not sure what the disrespect is...if his offer was lower than he wanted...and like to age and durability issues then really he has no reason to be other than disappointment...but disrespectful is kind of sour grapes...take best deal offered and prove true worth then....why quit I also think this isn't end of it either and he could be back...or be elsewhere...lots of time between now and TC's
-
Generally the agent is gonna reach out by Xmas...or shortly after... especially if team hasn't contacted you...or mentioned any plans Also...pretty much across the board if you are hearing crickets it's an understanding that team is moving on...or you low on the initial priority list...again that's when an agent should be touching base. I see this as a spin by Friesen to stir up stuff...and as others mentioned I have seen first hand them at practice .. absolutely ignoring all that went on...then asking who looked good ..what went on...then write a piece for next day with "their thoughts"
-
Nothing nut props and respect for JJ....As dominant an end as there was when he was playing, and always turned it up in play-offs. But we all reach that point where we no longer can play the game...or are wanted how we feel we should be...never know when it is, but we are all told.....That being said it gives a true opportunity for some new blood to step in and establish themselves, and may lead to a veteran signing too
-
Ambles would have been here long enough..and in been in league long enough to run plays....he would have had to been covered tho regardless as he would have had been a legit threat...Bailey and Schoen after the firt quarter garned next to no real attention...just light coverage soft coverage... Alston I sure as well would have looked better in second game, and as well had to been respected Sadly not even giving BOLO a snap likely was the final straw that broke that camels back and he goes elsewhere ...even for comparable money
-
yup....thats what it is all about...opinions...and worthy discussion over the winter....and the old shoulda woulda couda syndrome... I as well am more than happy how things have gone last 5.6 yrs, and see it easily maintained....I am also a perfectionist to a degree...so adequate...good enough...looking back at success just doesn't cut it for me ....I look at your last performances, and over last 2...I see imperfection and failing to achieve the goal...I want more! lol

I don't look at age really either in this day and age...It's effectiveness...impact and ability to stay on field....also subtle changes in how they do their job...or try to....or start compensating to do it Therein is where I am not sad to see Yosh go other than his presence and energy, and leadership...I think we walked away at the exact right time, and this yr in Sask will see more decline, and with a body make-up such as his will erode fast Especially on a poorer oline, and a new system being installed....I can see him dumped in off-season next yr if he has a big bonus due again -
I can understand your take, and appreciate the opinion, also can see the point your are making...but in the end the onus is on the head coach to consider all...all scenarios...game possibilities and I think he failed bad. Never take a players word on if good to go, cause 99 percent will say yes....I got a few texts asking me about Bombers depth/PR etc and why the eff were certain players dressed?...as in did we have nobody?....I not a Osh hater by any means...I just hate a few of his fatal flaws....and his stubbornness to do it his way...I also know some media will not go anywhere nearthe subject of calling him out, or making him explain things....cause it would effectively detroy any future chance for any quotes or soundbites from him other than his smug non answer remarks
-
key word...think...and know.....big difference....they weren't...neither was Bailey...orMcrae...and Demski was 50/50... nope....but I have people in football circles who did, and we have discussed it....and they all say same thing....so I will go with my experience, and their experience.....and from what I could see from Bailey...Biggie...and Schoen...yup....should not have been dressed
-
He may have tweeked something...but as someone who has suffered that exact injury...2x...yeah..I call B.S on a ACL tear he played with....especially as a DB....You can actually finish a game off and play if it's a tear....but not a total tear....but with a brace...and a noticeable limp...he had neither....and you clearly see it happen at the end in celebration...and Biggie wasn't the guy originally responsible with that TD....I will give you credit there for realizing that...but a player who is healthy and not playing with a calf tear would have had the explosiveness to likely get there and break that play up...he could not..I bet Clements would have tho Osh 100 percent loyal supporters to a faukt dont want to see it...or believe it
-
Scoen did say it....u dont need to believe me....could care less...also aid he hadnt practiced in well over a month as well...all factored in to n=being not prepared...if you had played at high level you might know where I was coming from. Bailey and Schoen could not hardly run...and were a non factor and the Als stopped even really focusing on them.....Mcrae couldn't go either but was dressed as well...and sta on sidelines for 2 straight games...prob didnt even have cleats on. Yet we didnt give the one receiver that was 100% healthy (BOLO) a single snap....and reason why he won't be back this yr...he wants to play Biggie had also no business out there...and was very ineffective and a liability more than a difference maker ZC the yr before??...lol...another instance of good enough to go...but far from effective,, and if not for just one series should have taken a breather and seen what Brown could do....but alas...didnt happen....and 2 losses in a row now Lotsa guys didnt shine for sure....but when you have 5 guys who are being compensated for, it makes it hard for others to shine too....when they being totally schemed out of the game by a smart coaching staff. And was the 2 turds we dropped a coaching failure?...and them not bein properly prepared, and coached up??...could be...could not be I get it...some guys like yourself will defend Osh till death....and thats your choice...but u gotta see the forest thru the tree's sometimes
-
nobody knew Strev had a broken bone (outside the team)....and he was still producing and effective...last yrs guys were not...I also think that the BA injury claim it happened in game was a load of crap, as you can clearly see it at end when he jumped up and celebrated....and regardless as if he was injured...it happened in-game and he showed no signs of being limited...not weeks leading up to the game and his status was in doubt..big difference...huge...those 2 comparisons really hold no weight or validity at all...Schoen himself even said he was shocked he got the nod, and totally unprepared to play....another huge difference....facts are facts...3 poor roster decisions, and 2 other questionable one's did us no favors for the biggest game of the yr
-
agree...but not to be stupid here and all...but theres a 1 yr stop gap to plug beside lawson and Fox for 8 to 10 snaps a game as we develop another guy from within.....and DA him in Jackson's spot for those 6 reps, as he has yrs experience in jumbo packages with Edm and Mtl.....guy is till effective and with a part time role....and offers more use/value than a Seal does

some Hungry youth like Davis II would be a welcome add.....and a Kongbo re-union to where he flourished would be the perfect guy to rotate in with along with one of the new guys... -
thats practice....game movement...intensity and need to be explosive is a totally different cat....and in "practice" to show how you look you don't/can't replicate that...and won't...this comes from being there and done that....and we saw in the game...3 guys did not have it.....why people keep trying to deflect and not throw blame at Osh is baffling...and as a coach of his pedigree and success should have known better, and put team first and not player loyalties..was a bad bad decision...Hopefully was also a lesson learned moving forward overpaying and just tossing money out the door...is desperation management....and thats what Sask is fully in on right now
