Booch

now....lets see how things go on offence....slap a new center in....Rotate Neuf and Dobson to see who is working best and keep a clean pocket for ZC....see what this sputtering offence can do

Nail would have been driven if Schoen didnt drop that one....and was a rare case that he did....and will be rare to see again...sometimes one play.....and one score/fail to score can totaly effect a game when all said and done...and that was a good case of it

yeah its nowhere near panic time or utter collapse...and truthfully...a few minor tweaks...and they can be that wrecking ball again..

not coach through fear...but not always trying to be the nice guy and not hurt feelings...theres a difference...He's also uber stubborn and at times wont change, or flip the script ever so slightly as he knows thats what many are saying ..wanting...and he will not do it almost out of spite it seems.... yes...this

We are at the 1/3 mark.....4-2 and thats with issues abound....most easily fixed...well really all easily fixed if addressed and not allowed to continue....this is all on Osh now to do the right thing....and pull out his inner Mathews/Murphy/Bouno Its a 2 horse race in the West as to who is hosting a home playoff game...either WF and WSF....Not sold on the Lions at all, and also not sold on peoples worry on our demise....lots of season to sort it out, and we have seen this song and dance before early into a season But for all the love heaped on Osh, he does need to change his ways a bit, and things will be fine...season success is all at the feet of our coaching staff and management...Lets see now if this Mafia is all that and gets it done, and not just trying to ride the season based on what worked and how they did things from 2019-2021....you don't evolve and adapt....you fall by the wayside....this is where we need to adapt and evolve in a few instances, and not worrying about hurting feelings, or feeling like you are not being loyal to this player or that player...you need to be loyal to the team and put the parts in place to make it work, and if that means taking certain guys out of the starting lineup, or even parting ways to allow the new hungry blood to make their mark....then so be it...pro sports is a cruel game, and like the saying goes...most times nice guys finish last...we are at that point now....not the finishing last part...but are a boxer on wobbly legs about to get knocked out and lose the title...We already went down in the 2022 Grey Cup for an 8 count.....if things don't change soon....we about to get knocked the eff out

Yeah sadly...I think u right And when surgery is required with this type of injury..the recovery and return to play is significantly longer...and no guarantee u actually get back to where u were pre injury

Say hello to any team tho ..pretty much

Milt had many horrible drops...all reciever do

No he got a lot upfront..they saving about 170k ...180k tops

Preaching to choir..I been echoing same things..BA hasn't fell off tho in my opinion...he's just being asked to play too many different roles or schemes and doesn't know if he coming or going Thomas is toast...KOLO was never good enough...and something up with Neuf but he is an ideal 6th guy and for the short yardage teams I agree with BA or Parker at SAM...Ideally id rather see Cole..he's our best athlete...or if anything one of the best ..Houston...Parker..Swarmay and ADS are guys who should be leaned on now and are the future if you ask me...young...tough..and sound tacklers... And fix the PR to be an actual functioning entity...

who they trying to kid??...thats a 12 month recovery to get to hopefully 100 percent...and in a younger athlete....with it usually you get Cartlidge damage, and can actually get some serious nerve and cell damage issues...to the point where a lot of times yo9u can incur cell death in the tissues of the leg...I'd be surprised if this isnt career ending....or when he tries to come back he just gonna be a lame sitting duck out there I also know from seeing that injury before....from a teamate, that since he requires surgery then he had shifting of the bones so needs hardware to put things back in place and heal and takes a good half yr if not more to just walk like u did before....and thats before any football rehab....and that was on younger athlete...not s soon to be 40 yr old

I remember a time someone complained about it...media...or opponent....escapes me when tho....none the less....its okay to be a **** sometimes....

yup.....its nice to be nice...until its time not to be so nice...right now is the time I also think Osh doesnt want to come across as running up the score on teams too...as he got called out for it early in his career here...and it's stuck with him...who gives a flying Fack what people think/say...thats part of reason why we many many times take foot off gas and almost go into preserve the lead mode...and it's killed us too many times to mention...last night should never have happened.again

i will go one step further and say if a few guys were replaced in game, or a certain rule was used....Cole could have been on the field at most of the whiffs by Briggs would not have happened...and a few other guys wouldnt have had to over pursue to try and do more than they needed to, and in effect took themselves out of the play, or got burned from said over pursuing....Osh yammered on about sitting Darby one game cause he wasnt seeing things well and getting burned...so why not do same with Lolo...and or Neuf....was that a one off deciion...or was it not done because Neuf been here a long time, and Kolo has been here for a few more minutes than Darby, and was praised for his admirable fill in for Couture?...

If I was running things....The secondary when healthy would be Rose...Nichols..BA...Parker...Sawaray right now...Lawrence if Injuries were the reason his play after game 2 went sideways...cause he is a good DB....But as it stands I see a lot to like with ADS....not sure why Mouhamed hasn't got a shot yet....But he looked legit last yr... Thats our best most physical group, and best group of tacklers....Wilson back would take Clements role and he could take Coles spot/duties and I would like to see Cole given the spot Darby has right now...Darby is either lights out this yr....or lights need to be turned on....not sure whats with him this yr, but Cole is our probably most athletic defensive player on the roster, and would be a perfect SAM Also....Bennett on defence sits in place of Murphy, or Burtenshaw as basically with out piss poor roster makeup....there's nobody else...Haba and the Jeffs, and shortly Hansen is the best end quartet in the league...no worries there...Jake should be on roster soley as depth...and injury replacement with minimal rotation....for the one...maybe 2 decent things he does a game now...there are 5 times that where he is part of why we getting slaughtered up the gut...Now did Walker turn the corner and can do this game in and game out?....or was this just a career game?...we shall see, but we need Fox or a new found stud on the roster as well...so DA him and designate a Nationalized guy and friggin use the snot out of it...how our staff doesnt see...or want to use sets with the Jeffs and Fox and Walker in the middle 22 times a game...or one of fox/walker and Haba...is baffling....almost inexcusable..but we will roll out one of the Jeffs...Thomas...Bennett all at the same time...why in the hell do that?? Fox can take the place of the extra receiver that basically does the Traverious Harrison and stands there all game ...just because I guess....If Murphy takes Bennet's spot you have 2 national Receivers with him and BOLO to back up when all is healthy Schoen..Demski..Woli..Shheed and Lawler....and right now Mcrae...who is a place holder for Grant....easy peasy....And yup...something is up with our interior and it stinks....to me it's Center...and all things will permeate out from there...Next game against the Elks should be Bryant..Gray..Eli..Neuf and Yosh...and see how they perform as a unit....and work from there going into the bye...The chatter about Yosh losing it is a bit over dramaticized right now....you work from inside out at this point in season...and if it is still not optimal...you put Dobson in a guard spot...and you see whats up then. But this recent bizzarre play calling and going against what works, and how we dominate is baffling and taking it' toll on our o-line play, and trying to get them to morph into something different...its easy to see, and since game 3 we have looked off...out of sync...and not communicating well at all...its so easy to see....now will Osh and his staff make the moves and changes as needed...as the pieces are already here for most part...but not being used, and we for some reason...especially on offence are trying to re-create our identity and what we excel at....not sure why as it wasn't needed season is still early to make the required tweeks...before it snowballs out of control...so get it done...Even as it sits right now....across the board we have the best unit in the West....just have to put them in the right places to get back to that level we accustomed to. And will say it again...Osh needs to turn up the prickmode a bit...and also suck up his pride...or whatever it is making him not want to use a rue thats ...a rule and would help us...and also put aside his penchant for favoring his tenured guys....and his mindset that everyone on the roster is a #1....cause they aint......do this....or even half of this and things would be a hella lot rosier and like I mentioned before....I saw ol Cal cut a guy at haltime....you dont perform....u were gone...also you couldnt stay on the field...your replacement was in the air lickity split

Oh yea... forgot about him...yes him too

But in 10 yrs we could be talking about the ends start of the ends of ZC...BO's and and Harris careers...the midst of the avg Faj and Vaj times...and the arrival of the Crums.. Kelly's...some one else we don't know about yet..and the return of a Strev...who knows how this time pans out a decade from now

The issue here.isnt we are too old....that's utter nonsense... It's a roster issue...how we manage who's on the said roster...and coaching blunders lately...100%

No he wasn't injured...hence to complaining about roster use...yet again...as Much as Osh likes to preach that "they are all #1's)...they are not...and he needs to park that notion somewhere else...it's complete b.s

Yup...2 embarrassing displays should shake the foundations...another eaked out win would just let this wound fester

Thomas should not even be in heavy rotation no more..Bennett shouldn't even be rostered..we should be doing more sets with all 3 import ends too

If I have your DA lb on roster who u have no intent or faith in using as a backup...and have to use inferior canadian foot soldier...or you use the long tenured foot soldier cause...he's long tenured and u feel u owe it to those players cause u a 'nice' guy...then that's piss poor roster management any way u slice it...no ifs and or buts...and it happens around here way too.often just like the sitting on a lead and playing safe...no excuses for it Don't think so..we had 3 slugs out there I saw

Like I said...maybe a blessing in disguise as Harris wasnt/isn't the future and answer there...nor a guy to grab a team by the short and curlies and drag them across the finish line..never was...and wasn't gonna be there

Basically yup...get back to the bunker and sort it out before it snow balls....cause it will

Coaches included He has guys he could put in..if anything to see if it gives a spark or changes the tide...but he doesn't until it's real bad...or his ass is on the line...one example... Nichols
