Booch

Cats signed our boy Myron Mitchell....did they have a guy go down?

Yiou have prime Wilson...Nevis and Stove inside....even a less useless Thomas...can't believe I said that but he did make some plays then....but it evaporated in 2021 We also had upstarts Kongbo and Hansen...who were actually given reps and time to grow which was also huge and highly underrated....why did Osh stop actually using young guys?....

It's a case when the team needs to know when, and who to move on from totally...and who is the best older option kept as depth A guy like Kyrie....perfect DA as a LB....Behind young upstart depth...Especially a Canadian in his spot He can play teams...and plays them well...can give you starter quality reps at Wil and Mac in game if injury occurs....and if Osh pulled his stubborn head out his arse would be ideal Naturalized Canadian and could come in for the Canadian who replaced him if they get hurt...etc yeah...you beat me to this comment about Cdn linebacker...We have the guys to do it...Makonzo if healthy as well has to be in that equation...

yeah if it's a mental oopsie daisy....or a rookie error....learnable and correctable When it's an issue of ability and just being over matched more than not, and not able to finish and maintain engagement...thats a different issue and time for change...I guess reason for change Osh said it best himself "you look at a guts film from years ago, and you can see what he's capable of" Thats just dumb....To think guys dont regress, or aren't capable of that anymore but relying on it...gets you what you see now Maybe look at film from yrs ago and say..."gimme a player who can replicate that|" there was oodles of top talent available too...and in the 3 main areas of need where we are majorly lacking to boot

Sucks for Flo...when he was available in trade....wonder why we didnt jump on that

has our coaching not hammered that into the heads of the receiver's?....that and also how/where/when to break off routes?...

Milt is not wrong...ZC got his marbles scrambled last yr.....and 3 times this yr...when is enough enough...Sure may seem insignificant now, but 10 yrs...15...different story And to be honest...or penchant for playing hurt guys....not glowing in a positive way

Just cause osh is playing someone doesn't mean they better @wbbfan hit it on head about J.Jones...but his fate was sealed when T.Jones was reupped to a 2 yr deal and Wilson was brought back J.Jones is a legit multi tooled LB...and can also lay the lumber He meets a ball carrier in hole...not after they bust through...and he was exceptional at dropping into zone...and his pass rushing is as good as prime Biggie...if you have the ability go watch his play on his 7 sack season If anything he should be on instead of Ayers who we don't use effectively on defense...and he would also take a lot of reg reps on defense...he plays Mac and Wil....special teams...but hes backseat to incumbents We are wasting away the true impact of our top 2 picks this yr in Shay and Smith...bith more than capable of taking reps at will...and in role we had Griffin play...do people realize he is a 220 pound plus player...hes not a typical DB body Shay and Smith could easily fill role he played before we wised up and put him at sam...as well as collateral contribute at wil....they both have more athleticism and upside than the Canadian sask plays at wil...and that's because going Canadian there...corner and safety allows them to dress pretty much all import...impact dlinemen...and it shows...we pale in comparison

if your DT made a difference...or any minimal impact...it reverberates to the ends...and other DT...the teams who's ends eat...have a DT or nose who are collapsing the pocket...and sending the QB right into them When WJ...Jeffcoat....the Hansen Kingbo rotation was feasting and causing havoc...They had Nevis...Stove...Sayles....guys of that ilk causing issues inside

Oh I agree less than adequate starters make great backups on back third of their careers in some positions....especially ones with experience for if/when they have to come in a mixture of that and young guys earning their stripes on teams...is where you succeed But for most part...we have no clue of what many of the backups can do cause when have we seen them?....

and if they are bad...why they here? get others in Also...i've heard somewhere they all starters...are in the building casue they give us a chance to win....we like what they bring Well then...why dont they play for the under performers?....or at times...clearly injured guys

Jones should be in the middle...Kyrie been last of issues on defence

dont know ubntil they get full reps....and if they dont...why they here whan 2/3rds of the guys in front of them dont appear to be viable They wouldnt make us worse thats for sure Thing is in this part of season you cant bring in all new guys....but you can use it as a advanced training camp/audition for next yrs camp...and team tho.....and not waste roster space and time bringing many back next yr if it obvious they are no better....start the process now....not in TC....With many of the same characters who you just dont know about yet....find out now....get ahead of the game And you cannot say with any certainty how much say/influence Osh has on who Walters signs...or doesnt...he may have hella sway...he may not From my time in football tho a HC will tell his g.m and scouts what he wants/needs in a player...and they try to full fill it....If he said we good with some the slugs we have...and find me some jobbers on teams....you think the scouts and g.m are gonna do opposite of what their HC requested? Fact of the mater there is a good portion of the roster just not good enough....too old....or majorly screwing the pooch casue they feel/lmow they are safe So....the smart minds would pull some for some the PR guys they are carrying...hence why they here and run them thru trial by fire...and if they not good enough...or show no upside....why they even here?...get rid of them Osh should be saying player a...b...c...etc just arent good enough...bring in some guys.... J.Jones is not an ham and egger either..T.Jones is more that than J.Jones...except in Osh eyes And when have you seen Bailey play to make that statement?...Person as well...hardly a ham and egger...cant judge him on 18 reps all yr yeah...a slightly better DT makes the other guys better...as they get less attention Same at center...a legit center makes your guards automatically better A mlb with consistent drops in coverage...ability to read a play and meet ball carrier in the hole...and not have him come to him 3 yards past l.o.s...makes your run defence better...etc...etc....piss poor guys....do nothing for the other 11 guys on the field other than make their jobs harder we are in perpetual never know here as nobody gets a shot...even with sub par play in front of them...Who can say Shay or Smith be no worse than say Wilson...but offer more upside...we cant...because naty a rep they get....they should be getting 4..5..6 reps a game to get integrated and see what they have loyalty to a player(s)only gets you so far...more times than not gets you a ticket ouuta town tho not maybe...unequivocally

its all i know and have ever seen/experienced....up to now

Yeah Pokey back helps...will help Demski bigtime...Clercius is jut getting better....and yeah with Echols for this yr added I think he gives us something we need and Wheatfall can grow into his spot without having to be leaned on....But we woefully weak after that Sterns back would be perfect for him being able to be the 4th...5th guy ...and us. We do tho need another legit Canadian backup....and really Woli traded for would be perfect....can play multiple spots....hands were never an issue and both Strev and ZC trust him and have good chemistry with him...Corcoran is just a big nothing burger and pales in comparison to Woli in the run game....the reason of the excuse why Osh likes to roster him....and other than 1..2 games he's been horrible at it

He had a whole part of his defense defect....had to redo his oline somewhat....Had to start yr with his backup ...no real back up...rotating door at rb with injuries...he gets some leeway...is also 2-0 in his cup appearances....if they cut him loose we'd be dumb to not go after him He also plays his best players...will bench guys in game....and actually coaches ....no brainer and done all this the last 3 yrs with not near the support and luxuries we have here

yeah....and as we dont know the true dynamics involved the HC may have way too much say too...who knows but something definitely is lacking in cohesion and communication

That was by default really...no other qb played more than what...8...9 games And even then he looked like a doofus

He's our best all around LB and wont get played...

I'm talking his running....and I agree...but he looked fine in NFL...and he looked pretty good with just 2 yrs of QB play in university when he first arrived....he looks like a wtf happened under Buck and Oc guy.... Faj looked like a total doofus and useless putz too until the yr he beat us in Grey Cup...cause he got exposed to some good coaching and a team structured around him to allow him to succeed.....and cant believe i gonna say this but I'd take him over any guy we have currently with our disarray on the oline and receiving group.... Guy is obviously tough as **** and could probably score points here or get us in position too with his running...and huck and chucking and ability top take a beating and just keep taking more His school yard sand lot shenanigans would prob be more effective than our Oc and his schemes

yeah...have to agree....and the fact he wont even try say Person as main end...and rotate Wj and Vaughters more....Wont use J.Jones in starting lineup...Woods.....Bailey....Try someone else...anyone else at center....Dropping Corcoran ...Not insisting on a CDN inferior DT for majority of reps...just show's it more coaching, and less horses...cause we have some horses in the stable who get no chance to show anything. So in all honesty we have no clue if we are sorely lacking in talent when the HC continues to just stay the course...be satisfied with the crap we see, and adjust nothing really with roster other than when injury dictaes And if he did do this, and these guys as well are no better...or god forbid worse....get rid of them and find some new candidates...and then rinse and repeat till we do That's also on the G.M too as mentioned...remove some the crap from the equation and give the HC no choice but to put someone else there.... well some guys have not seen the field...so we really dont know...so they should now, and if they not good...shouldnt be kept

coaching....mistake free coaching....or at least competent That would fix a lot We also have been basically out coached in last 3 Grey Cups too...be it in game decisions...schemes...adjustments...inferior roster...penchant to play injured guys....this isnt a thing that came out of nowhere this yr...its been simmering and sauteing for yrs

exactly...a 100 percent healthy..or close to Strev next yr....ZC if back, and Wilson...as well as hopefully Elgersma after an off-season of actually grabbing a legit FA receiver and Oline guy, and or trading for some, a real OC nad a pro level coaching is deserved to them, and then judge....and if that all stink then...well...we screwed for that yr and time to clean house in the QB department

Vaval right now...sucks as a corner....he isnt reacting or aware....he too busy thinking still...he's a hinderance right now.... well you can pull Vanterpool for one....And if you replace Mitchel with Echols theres a returner...Also Cobb for one of Jake or Korn...There's another option at returner.... Bailey can come on for any Canadian....Ball...Thomas...etc Or...Give Castillo all 3 kicking duties and swap the punter with Baily...Punter guys presence on our roster isnt gonna win us any games and be key.... Woodbey has usurped what visions they had for Ayers....so drop Ayers as well for a game or 2 and get Woods/Adams on.... Lotsa ways we could fix some things with minor roster config, but Osh is too much a stubborn dipshit to do it....Cant make us worse...BUT could make us better Parker and Houston for Lawson Jr and Vaval would make a world of differnce as well

it's not anymore....it's currently....he has less recovery than even Schoen had and before retearing his ACL again he had zero burst...minimal ability to separate...or create separation after the catch...It's rare at best for any player save for a lineman to come back first yr post op to show they have regained it all...doesnt happen...Yr 2 tho yes.....they should be back, and if not 90% That's where you need to judge Strev with his running ability. Also any (all) QB's here need and deserve the chance in 2026 camp to show what they can do with legit offensive weapons and an actual pro playbook...or pro coordinator...starting all new will be worse than this yr Right now as mentioned yeah he looks uncomfortable...and very rushed.....and I sure its a combination of what's mentioned...and also how he wired...he very high energy...he needs to slow his process down, a bit as well and then things will develop a bit more on field...and also with him...coaching can fix that but I profess over and over our coaching is killing us...and not just at Q.B If he look same as he does this yr, next yr...well then yeah you cut bait, but judging it now is really not truly indicative...Our offence as a whole all yr has been a clusterfuck...even ZC more times than not looked like a first yr starter Barring a trade...we kinda relegated to what we have in house...and possibly Elgersma...Is ZC gonna play again this yr...let alone next?...no clue...But whoever wins the starting job next yr....you cant roll into the yr with no experienced, let alone capable QB as your number 2 Love Schoen and Strev but we banked on both coming off not even a yr removed from major surgery as guys we were gonna lean on and ignored any other possible/option...and we paying for it Same can be said for dline...Look at the guys who were available in FA...guys who were available via trade (Flo) and we just stood pat cause we figured 2025 would manifest like 2019-2021 and that in itself was wishfull thinking as some those guys were already at their apex and only direction they had was down We grossly mismanaged and misjudged our roster, and looked backward and not forward...had no succession anywhere other than BO in place....and look at us now...teetering on a possible tear down and rebuild We should never have been in this spot yet here we are....and we could really be a lot better than we are, but our coaching isnt where it should be, and we too stubborn to make changes Before I forget...Wilson has the best arm of all our QB's and the best overall skill set...he needs polish and experience.....and well we know here getting the polish and experience is a big ask
