  1. Or add village to the end The removal of Moxy..giving Vaval reps..Williams continuing development...and allowing Texada to stop rotting on the vine of our PR help Also Smith at SAM been a huge impact as he has a lot of coverage responsibilities and has excelled at it for a bigger dude...just like Griffin was..those 2 together at same time for us hopefully starting next week can be 2019 late season tweek vibes
  2. news to me...Cant see him being sat considering how he has played and is probably our best Canadian player outside of BO....Tho I like Stuart and his potential I highly doubt he has leap frogged Smith...Or they see more value on roster with Kelly...Hallett..etc... If that's the case Osh truly is more a brain dead idiot than I even thought
  3. one we could have run with all yr...Imagine where Singer would be at with 14 games under his belt... Griffin back is good...told me soon and soon he is Smith out blows....But when he back with both him and Griffin in the lineup makes us significantly stronger just when we may need it Be interesting to see how or if we use Hansen as well
  4. The previous one wasn't even a bottom feeder..he was what the bottom feeders consumed...or just stinky chum dropped in the water to attract the sharks to feast
  5. Yup..took words right outta my mouth as I was making my post..we ain't tied to him by any means...if we miss playoffs this yr..which is a real possibility still..after the hoopla of our big FA signings...he should be canned right after the season ends. That will be 5 yrs in a row of regression... Why not? Good organizations make the tough decisions...if we have a new coach next yr do u think we will become the redblacks? I dont...I bet if we had made the switch this yr we be better than we currently are...The players here woukdnt revolt and stop playing...but I guarantee many would play better and with more urgency knowing the country club atmosphere of if u a vet or a guy here 2+ yrs u are safe regardless how much u suck or loaf...thats a certainty
  6. We not tied...he can be canned if we choose to. The narrative "we cant" is just false. There is one out a team can use..we havnt...plus if he is punted we only on hook for salary if he not hired elsewhere. And if hes as good as many claim one would think he'd be snapped up immediately...no? So no worries there I also not arguing.. we have layered issues for sure...hc and gm from my experience in a solid organization work in tandem..doesn't appear both on same page here.. If a HC relays what he wants..or doesn't want for that matter a gm isnt gonna force feed things against what the coach is requesting. Thats dysfunction at highest level. He hired the coach so "should" trust in his judgment..That being said the scouts should also bring in best possible talent regardless of current roster starters..ratio deployment etc..and the best players when camp dust settles play..or are kept...now is that happening here on both sides of equation? Hard to say...but its easy to see a lot of the issues hampering us..poor allocation of players on game day roster at times..on the PR...the use of as just one example the marine wasting a da spot any number of canadians we had could have managed...Da's this yr added who took zero snaps..playing guys hurt...not demoting guys for poor play...not using the nationilzed rule cause the hc doesn't like it..using 3 canadians at WR where 2 have done absolutely nothing when we didnt have to..and based on last several games there been times we had 3 imports with only 2 canadian recievers so proves we only declaring 5 nationals on offence anyway...and dumb in game decisions and zero half time adjustments to adapt to game flow...that is all at one person's feet...therein makes sense that to avoid a total purge because if u can the gm..or gm and hc thats where u are headed...take small bites...isolate an issue...adress it..re-evalute that following season..if same issues are there...then u purge
  7. We had our success when we loaded up with established FA guys in prime for most part. Not from our coach discovering and recognizing new talent brought in and that put us over...nope. If a anything the fleeting success was inspite of a less than optimal roster assembled and now over past 3..4 yrs where we ran established vets into ground and well past their best before dates..the whole while the coach didnt let guys develop and get reps puts us where we are now...weak as a whole and prob the shallowest in league in terms of depth and legit stars People can yeah but all they want about what..who was brought in..so and so wasn't picked up from us..nobody on pr or was deemed a backup has shown anything (tho guys who actually got on did)and blame it on recruiting and scouting but when you have a hc who can't recognize talent for talent not his "intangibles" continually hampers his roster..refuses to use rules to bolster roster and has limited capacity for the x and o aspect and ability to he himself fix things either in game or in prep..or see where/when to step in, well it doesn't matter who Walters and Co. bring in History here has shown us when u look at his yrs here in segments that Osh excels when he is provided a heavily laden vet (in prime) roster who self police and almost coach themselves...when that evaporates...or isnt there like his first 4yrs...well he looks much like he does now and sadly is..an arrogant guy who nary has a clue and gets upset when asked about it but can't accept accountability Your last statement echoes what I was saying...100 percent
  8. and u can convincingly say this how??...Or is this just your version of reality to fit your defensive and protective assumptions of some involved narrative, and urges you to add your lil emoticons on posts that dont support your wild thoughts?
  9. We do our stupid stuff in the games...prep leading up to the games..and post game assessing as to what went wrong and how to fix
  10. When u have a 600k qb who can't climb the pocket..have escapability and essentially turtles when any threat of pressure is in his face..u generally are bottom of league in that stat..not saying our line is great by any means but not as bad as they seem..victims of what i said..some horrible schemes and weakest center in league who I dont think is making the right calls..let alone recognizing fronts and blitzers to make call outs Never thought with the dumping of kolo that in 2026 we be even worse at center...but here we are and we just keep banging our head against wall thinking that after 14 games hed be better...if anything he has regressed as teams have ample film on him and know all his deficiencies...but he got big legs according to Osh so we good
  11. musta as I saw zero defensive snaps either game
  12. Lat week ...much like the week before was prob the best roster we have had over all....But that being said we didn't use Jaworski at all either game....and barely used Womack, tho he got more reps in second game, but just not targeted...I dont think TC knows how to best use him anyway So was okay as okay can be for those games, but also part of the issue is our pathetic PR construct and really no realistic options for players in the area's we actually would benefit from a lil juggling. Along with the back 3rd of current roster full of the same kinda player. Much like our roster when we break camp ...Our game plans are what they are and that's what we will roll with come hell or high water...is it the stubbornness and lack of preparation/coaching to adjust a game plan once you have 2 quarters played to fix/address insitu things?...or an inability to actually see/identify the issues and fix on the fly? I think it's the combo of an arrogant/stubborn coach and also limited chops from the collective group to do it...we have quite a few good players currently...probably a bunch who we dont even see as being good who are just stagnating and rotting on the vine by no fault of their own....And nobody seems to have the balls to put foot down and be the heavy. Looking at most our losses, it is pretty hard to defend the coaching and what seems to be lazy and complacent preperation week in and week out Thats why we need a coach who can recognize talent...or lack there off...Look forward not back, and target guys in FA in prime...or just hitting it, and will be top tier guys for several yrs moving forward and abandon this reliance on older guys whom "had" success....but are on wrong side of 30...and allow your actual young taent you have to show up and fill the roles....or move on from them too We passed on a lot of talent I sure we could have grabbed from 2022 thru to last off-season cause we figured "we good" with the old guard....and obviously as we seen...we weren't, and now we really on the precipice of total over haul...when we never ever should have been in this situation
  13. yup takes a man to be a man...good on him And agree his analysis and breaking down of what's going on...almost as it happens is top notch. He knows what he is talking about and can explain it to fans in a way that they can grasp, and isnt dumbed down. Compare him to Suitor and its like a 3rd grader vs a College Grad. And Lapo too is totally finding his groove. Best thing TSN has done is bring these guys into the fore front and it only will help with new fans in my opinion. For the Grey Cup and Siv Finals it be in league's best interest to have Willson in the booth...and Lapo doing sideline work of some kind as the game is is being played Keep Suitor far away as in all honesty his color and analysis is just so amatuer hour now it's not even funny...He add's nothing to the game telecast....nothing
  14. again was he really a guru tho?...I dont think so...he was a flyer of a hire...almost flamed out immediately and got lucky and caught lightning in a bottle...and has effed it up ever since....And culture...any decent person let alone coach could foster the culture that was here that all good teamsthrive in...he didnt event it but people think he did and I been saying that for how long??...to a chorus of "yeah buts"....takes some longer to see the festering rot and erosion than others...seen it 3+yrs ago already and said we would decline until he was punted....and.......... this...we get outclassed week in and week out with coaching and the inability to make adjustments...let alone recognize why....compounded with a poor lineup that we choose to field and its not injury related, or ratio restriction. But from a Smug fool of a HC who is just outto lunch and puts personal bias above team
  15. Been on the road a bit hence no comments nor read the GDT but why bench Singer?...something happen I not aware of?...or White for that matter...But Just think where Singer could be right now if he was playing from day 1? If Pokey is ready he has to be dropped back in even tho he been all over the map...Also.....came to the realization that on offence we obviously have only designated 5 Canadians on offence as last 2 games we have ran out Singer..White.Womack at times with just Demski and Clercius...so floundering all yr with 2 Canadians who have done nothing all yr was a coach's decision all along and not ratio related...and just flat out dumb AF...shocking eh??..Not!! And with last game our last drive before we gave up the go ahead score....Was lost right when on 2nd and 4 we didnt just pound brady if not just the one time to convert...but back to back....Game was lost right there , tho there was a bunch of other nonesense related to it ...again...second half stupidity in a nutshell and the ignoring of what was working..BO...The HC should have at that moment where we gae the ball back had insisted we are gonna pound that ball and go get it...no questins asked...no debate...But nope Oshy boy is just a dumb nutless Eunich And will add...Elsbury still sucks and is killing us with a wasted Import spot, and why dress Jaworski and then not use him?...Like WTF,,,dumb stuff all around over and over again
  16. his offence looked like a shitty highschool offence...as that was his only experience with an offence...sad athletic hire right from the get go and the fact Doofus just kept him there after 6 games is just as sad...shoulda been fixed that yr and not start from scratch this yr with another bottom tier hire
  17. Football in Quebec is a pretty big deal actually...Done right I can see it being pretty successful and a natural rivalry now for the Als and prob bring a lot of excitement for a labour day back to back experience there
  18. totally agree...you add some assets who an actually do something more than run up and down on ST's or stand on sidelines....then actually use them. I could see Womack being very effective in the short and intermediate game with quick passes...A thick athletic reciever with nice skills when ball is in his hands...perfect next few games to see what he brings
  19. big weekend for sure and can really flip the standings. We win...B.C wins and Cgy wins all of a sudden we have Edm in 1st...BC in 2nd...Us in 3rd and Sask now in 4th only 2 points up on CGY and If Ham loses with 3 teams in west with 8 wins a cross over is pretty much a given I'm expecting a lot of designed roll outs and some quick sprint outs right outta the snap to change launch point. That would play right into Dru's strengths, along with his ability to get ball out quick...we scheme correctly to suit him...he should fare well
  20. he hasn't really looked incredible in yrs...That notion is just out to lunch He has looked progressively worse, with odd/weird issues showing up that shouldn't be showing up in a vet QB of his "former" caliber...He is defective now and at risk...You can see his processing and decision making and ability to just navigate a pocket now is eroding or has eroded in a big way. And we as on organization have made it worse and put him right in the cross hairs with our inability...or lack of forward thinking in doing any kind of succession plan work, or preparing/setting up things down the road....much like other positions and just ride guys into bloody knubs to a point they are basically a shell of their former self, yet we treat, pay, and look at them as their former self's in their prime
  21. @Mike U fooly bully..........tee hee
  22. Its just another example of lazy work here, and a HC and who knows if the GM is part of it, but guys who cling to, and look at the past achievements of players to justify being here, or bringing back...or continuing to play them...Osh even said it himself in an article defending someone...cant recall who now but take your pick "you look back at their film from yrs ago and see the sucess they had" for justifying why they are here and starting Key words in that quip..."Look back"..."years ago"..."had".... kinda like his coaching success/career...so it does all kinda make sense
  23. yeah that Steve Zahn lookin mofo I dont think has any clue of how a playbook works or ability to actually construct one himself...let alone see the issues in one provided to him
  24. It would make more sense if they wanted to make some change just for the sake of change is eliminate the 55 and just keep the rest the same...gives them the shorter field they desire for whatever reason...and in all honesty it has no impact on scoring anyway And all amateur football would just keep the 55...All you would need to do for the professional stadiums is move the goal posts 5 yards in...and would allow a lil more space at end of endzones for safety outside the field of play where its tight in some stadiums now...and every endzone would be a true 20 yards Sure the fields would need to be re-lined but thats a small price to pay and inconvenience other than any stadium that have them stitched in...Not sure how many or if any do in the CFL...I think the Regina dump does and that was just dumb in first place in my opinion..
