Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
Booch replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I didnt notice a useless FB dressed hahahaha...I kid...but agree....he is a good coach players will play for -
here's a fun game....as a fan/viewer...watch his reps on offence, and tell me if anybody else ...who is not a DA could replicate it....many forget. we played games this yr with no FB even listed on the depth chart, and games where Gray played thatspot and Dobson went on the line at guard....which would prob be more successful anyway using a guy who's job it is to move bodies as a lead blocker cant see it eithers....and Dolegala isn't a good QB ....we just played a bad game over all in 2 key phases...Their offence in regulations time got 1 TD...
-
u don't want comparable players to yur starters spelling them off?....you are fine with guys that are well below starter quality taking reps?.....not sure what to say....our success in the 2 cup winning yrs...which is 2 yrs in the rear view was because our rotational guys could been starters on most of the other teams...now some I bet would't crack another teams roster, and if they did would be doing the Tavarious Harrison imitation on the sideline all game....if anything your rottional and depth guys are extremely key to a teams success
-
so depth chart is out....wonder why only 3 DA's are noted but....No Hansen...Haba...actual real returner....no nationalized american.....But I am certain guys like Jackson...Murphy...Mauro and the likes will be that extra edge and spark we need for dominance quality players for rotation...legit returners....thats not bottom spots on the roster...those are just as important as a good starter
-
U forgot master of none not when it continues to happen....with no explanation behind the thought process... Offence still put up enough points to win tho....in game stats aren't the be all end all...we also beat edm in a gane completing 12 passes. The roster management is horrible...worst in league...saving grace we have some of the best and elite starters that wash over it....that doesn't mean it's good tho I'm with @Mike Osh is the coach I want, but all coaches need to work on things...adapt and evolve.....no coach lasts forever, as eventually their flaws and inadequacies catch up to them if they don't adapt...I have seen it first hand with Murphy...Ritchie, among others.....and above and beyond the questionable roster inadequacies, the fact alone Osh refuses to use the Nationalized rule...which would only benefit "his team" is utter bullcrap, soley because he don't like or believe in it, and it's a bee in his bonnet for a lack of a better term...that there is inexcusable really, and not sure they dynamics of how our upper level management work, but my experience the G.M over seas the whole ball of wax, and the HC does the team...and there has to had been some communication about this stuff..,and I sure like mentioned him...and the head scouts have to be wondering why guys brought in are either just discard, or kept and not given the chance...maybe there is more to the Walters silence and non-extension due to lack of same visions/ who knows but every great partnership fizzles out at some point And as much as we like to think/believe Osh is the ultimate players coach....he does play favorites, and will do things his way regardless....and I am sure players see it....how can they not... not sure what you are watching...whiffed tackles....missed assignmnts...at times not sure where to go....he is not a quality starter whatsoever....and if he is the best we have...then we really have failed with player recruitment and talent evaluation...he would not start anywhere in the league. Bennet as well....cant play contain, gets faked out repeatedly, gets no pressure at all....and isn't physically dominating in any respect....he's played 12 games now and probably has made 2 noticeably plays in total....thats bad
-
no its not....we lucky we had some premiere starters who could over come it....U tell me any coach n the league who wastes a DA spot on a full back....doesnt use the Nationalized rule basically just because......and has a PR of guys who would make no impact on the roster....doesn't roster a true returner even tho their return game blows...dresses guys who don't see a snap......I will wait for the parallels elsewhere
-
I can see the logic about a Bennett...and a few others cause we have horrible depth behind some premiere starters who are slowly being ground to a pulp again....but in my opinion thats not logic...just settling for mediocrity... No reason whatsoever for Jackson being rostered when we had a true full back on the roster, who just got benched now for a receiver who will not see a snap unless 2 guys went down, and even then I'd prefer we go to a jumbo, or use BO and JA together.....and if Osh puts Murphy in to take snaps away from one of our Canadian starters, or ahead of BOLO just to justify his rostering....that there too is just garbage management. Why Haba isnt on is baffling....and to the PR so he doesn't even get a game cheque as opposed to the 1 game as well is just dumb....If he agrees to someone poaching him...why would he refuse...as he would immediately be rostered...he owes us nothing....and sadly if it came down to it, and Osh had to pr Jackson and roster Haba to keep him...we all know that Haba would be wearing new colors this weekend....and this narrative that he not ready...or still kncked is garbage...I seen him in practice and he just fine, and thats not how thigs work....you don't PR "injured" guys Hopefully Hansen then gets on and takes some load off the Jeff's as they are slowly becoming less a factor, but alas won't hold breath on that either....I sure Osh will have a smug excuse of a non answer to not have him on roster, and we will get oodles of Mauro...Bennett and Thomas poaching reps and being non impactful out there...again Not finding a way to roster a true returner...who was in a camp this yr, so knows u from down...again dumb....What if Parkr gets hurt now...who comes in???..a starter on defence to return...or demski?...and risk injury there?...If it's a starting DB and they get hurt then we really hoped as we have no depth there whatsoever.....other than some foot soldiers who practice real hard..and guys like seeing that....but also have no reason to be taking starter reps.....don't care what anyone says...our roster management and makeup is horrendous, I dont care if we won a cup 2 yrs ago, cause back then we had some depth...now we don't....sure hope Osh throws a curve and surprises us this morning with his depth chart....But I ain't holding my breath you are correct about Harris...and then this yr that olineman we dressed...who sask scoped...then Hamilton scooped....i dont think he even brought his helmet out lol Snd we can dream to wonder what a fresh rotation of the Jeff's and Haba..or Garbutt....would look like and do for us late in games....cause in the last 3...4...they just not able to do much cause they gassed...or they have to play with some scrubs who take zero load off them
-
Not getting that tho...BOLO hardly sees field...and he would first....just perfect opp to actually use Burtenshaw as the FB...as he did that in college so knows how....and get Haba on the field...just dumb roster usage...again
-
Did u really expect anything less tho... unbelievable...he should have forced their hands and refused...I would have
-
Guess Murphy practices harder than fox..Haba... Buetenshaw... unbelievable...maybe Lawson better up his practice habits..Schmeckle i heard is just givener Nothing anyone else over 200 pounds couldn't...literally nothing...and his blocking isn't dominant either...a few times he actually has got in way of BO
-
What possible reason for Murphy over Buetenshaw?? Who he gonna take reps for over Demski...Woli or BOLO...and not like he will be the missing piece on teams...like wtf is wrong with OSH?? U bring in a dedicated returner where we have sucked ..yet yank your "supposed" answer at returner and replace with another linebacker...where the defence could use a dlineman way more Man if someone contacts Haba and offers him a deal I wouldn't blame him one bit to say thanks ...and see ya Bombers...just head shaker move after head shaker move
-
Lame...
-
Murphy wasn't on active...or u mean removed off practice? I guess Jackson is headed there
-
Yeah can't argue with that..Blackmond for McRae...Haba for Jackson...I guess Clements for Cole and keep Parker as is for the DA's...that would give us best roster makeup...and if Hansen is ready to go for Mauro even better...as the addition of Hansen..Haba and Clements would offset loss of Cole

yeah...Thats my hope.....looking right dominant for stretches means they have it, and it shouldn't be a issue...the inconsistency tho and moments where we look like a 9th place squad are troublesome -
Blue Bombers - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Booch replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
the act tho of the wilting...coming out unprepared...needing big comebacks, and times looking right dysfunctional has to be concerning....cause it's not an anomaly now....sorta becoming a somewhat regular trend, and in a playoff format where it's one and done....not a series.....thats not a good thing -
kinda wondering for whom?....Either Cole or Parker you would suspect, but that would leave us ultra thin in secondary reserves tho....but that also wouldn't shock me. Thats where getting Ford back would be so useful as we could then be able to us the DA on Castillo...the returner, and then Haba and.......Fox...Clements....Garbutt.....Swarmay...... And if Haba is healthy there is zero reason not to have him on roster....none.
-
We should sign him for the weekend...then cut him lol
-
Agreed...that's how we brought Grant here midseason...Hamilton had him...let him go...we brought him in...rest is history Hmmm....maybe he will get the bug...sign on for a nice friendly deal....
-
Yeah...I can see the mindset of giving them a chance...but also the poor foresight knowing they weren't ideal. They should have brought that Cole back if anything... familiar with things...looked good...prob a better PR prospect that most we carrying as well

Booch replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
They may 1 game him?? If Haba is ready..which he is...he has to be back in that DA spot that Jackson assumed... Really...we were lucky to win against cgy...we came back against the Elks..but that should never have even happened...and really that was a combo of luck...and having the onions to claw back.. -
Yup..epic fail in my opinion...and another example just standing pat with this notion that everyone is a number 1...which they are not
-
And likely he gets pulled off early anyway...this just a "just in case" cost saving move None the less...we should have brought someone in immediately anyway..same with when Haba went down
-
yeh he is a demon on teams....and rarely screws up his assignment Those 2 alone i the dl rotation would be massive, if for anything limiting the reps for Bennett, and Thomas....I wanna see some Cheetah again now that we have Wilson back in lineup and Biggie can play a more traditional mlb role. Have also noticed now too, with Rose and Wilson back that BA is allowed to play safety back to a more 2019-2021 role...which helps things
