  1. thats just inexcusable for a professional coach...like wtf....
  2. those comments right there...says it all...Thanks Osh....good god
  3. BA would be the perfect DA who could slot in at safety..SAM...corner and still plays great teams. Holm should be our safety next yr as we don't need a big bopper there, and we focus on HB who are physical, and can play up and disrupt receivers as well as run with them and cover....we play to soft, and when it gets to crunch time more often than not it kills us as we get nickle and dimed down a feild.... We don't need a plethora of guys who excel playing off and seem like good guys at closing in on a pass to stop progress...we need more guys who are there to actually limit the receptions in the first place and the bolded is key...its what has occured 2 yrs running now...and hmmmmm0-2 in last 2 grey cups
  4. we didnt lose due to one play....when it was 10 zip we should have went for the throat...and we didn't/couldn't and that was a huge red flag...and giving up feild position all game on teams, and running an offence with only really 2/3rds of the receiving group actually healthy to do mush was also a major fail...Why do you think our offence looked off...no pre-snap motion to set things up...or jet sweeps....receiver runs...Heavy inside passes?...cause our guys couldn't do it...and shouldn't have been out there. Schoen for most part took no attention away from the MTL defence, and they gave him some underneath stuff to the sidelines...big deal....But running BOLO down the rail, or in a deep or midrange skinny post...or fade would have....Dumping Agudosi too was dumb and gave no coverage...I bet him down the rail or deep down the middle would have drawn away a DB and safety.... Our roster killed us...The Jeffs basically played all game....no end in the league will be successful with that load....not happening....Houston was being exploited....no coverage there to pull him...Perfect opp was there to have Rose there, and he WOULD have made a difference....but no ..Biggie was in...did nothing...cost us a TD....and was off the field as much as on it....Roster decisions...use of talent...or lack there of killed us....and it wasnt in just this game...went on all yr, and yes we eeked out a few wins we were lucky to get in spite of it...so it all seemed rosey....and it wasn't what does that post even mean or imply??
  5. its a lot of scratch tho for an aging QB...who is showing signs of decline
  6. this should be the bell going off that they cant run it back as is....But bringing back all the oline pieces and a few prospects and select the 7 most dominant, and yes I include Bryant and Hardrick...as they were hardly an issue....U bring back the Jeffs...Lawson...Fox..Hansen....but you bring in legit guys to challenge Haba..Garbutt and Walker and then you roster the best of those guys and make your roster accommodate that...no ifs and or buts about it and get back to how we dominated games....all game...Thomas...gone..Schmeckle...never should have even been here..Bennett gone...too old already for what seems like no upside...dude hasnt progressed...at all...You target Bennet and Kongbo from the Hammer to fill those Canadian spots Nothing next year should be handed or awarded, time to get some young hungry guys with energy...fresh and new to learn from the core we keep.....Biggie should not be back, as he won't be a force/factor for 2025.....Coach needs to make the Cal Murphy/Wally Bouno/Mathews type decision...Not the Dave Ritchie...I fell Cole is gonna be a stud, Clements really came on and is very versatile and young....both uber athletic and Wilson can be the vet now in that group, but we need real challengers in camp, and to keep 1 or two around, on PR and or as the DA's somewhere much like Cole and Clements were used We seem to be able to find db's quite easily....We bring back Holm..Nichols, Parker, BA. and Rose, and I would say Lawrence too....Houston needs to be on the bubble and really round out his game, so he needs to beat out some new talent, and we need to bring in some guys with physicality and ability to consistently play a man game with route disruption...and let em all battle like the year we brought in Alford and Nichols I like our receiver group as is, but I wanna see a true guy ...or 2 on the PR this year who can step in and actually be used...not stand around on sideline, or be ignored if he gets in....seen too much of that the past 2 yrs.... Our foot soldiers....I'd keep Hallett..Kelly...Exume...Karamoko....Gauthier...the rest can be easily replaced with a drafted kid who actually can contribute out side of teams....and with FA guys coming out of the entry level deals from other teams...there will be lots to chose from....And the Jackson thing needs to be eliminated...he is a raw 32 yr old import with zero upside on defence and teams, and his role on offence is laughable at best as the reason he was kept around And if we are going to stick with an Import kicker, he needs to do all 3 jobs and free up another roster spot.....A DA kicker and a Global punter is poor use.....have one or the other do em all, or do what it takes to bring in a Hallelujha.... It's not wholesale by any means...but it's a few succession positions, and some scheme and roster things that need to get done...no more this hokey BS spin from Osh... Now to QB....I kinda on the fence there. Is Brown the future...could be...I kinda was in doubt....but went back and watched some clips on him and more I look...more I like....I like the calmness...and he seems to be more assertive now than ZC and will take whats there more than force things.....and yeah ZC is gonna be 36 next year, 37 the following....Does anyone think he gonna be the guy for 2025...I cant see it...Tough decision time...Maybe have those talks with him now...see if he wants to end his career back in the Hammer....close to home....where he started....u never know, package him up for Bennett and or Kongbo now, and maybe a pick or two and give us the ability to negotiate before FA....and then we sign the Strev and Brown....base salary at half of what ZC was to get...but incentive built for starts, and bonuses...make em earn it....That would be a real good 1A/1B tandem...would eliminate the need for Prukopp and his higher salary than what a fresh faced rookie to develop would cost us ZC since last yr has seemed a bit off, and not the wizard he was....is it age?...self doubt?...injury issues....fear of injury in his head?...dunno but something has changed there....He had a great 4 yrs here..will be honored for sure....but lots of guys in history had great runs, but u gotta move on... that was my one fear...I knew Schoen was close...and very possible, but would be more limited....and it would basically hand cuff our roster more than it has been all yr....and well....it happened...MOS has been hand cuffing us all yr for no other reason than his personal bias...and was not for the better of the team. Same with refusing to use the Nationalized rule...all damn yr...which would only have helped us in some situations this yr
  7. thats how football works tho...HC is the HNIC and makes the final call on roster and who u get to work with....He will take input, but he will roster whom he likes ....thats just the way it goes....and the players have no clue of the coaches decisons and how/why...thats not their place or role other than maybe a few real tenured vets All teams are like this....a co-ordinator may not like it...but thats part and parcel of what they signed up for
  8. did BOLO even see a snap today?...wouldnt shock me if he packed his bags and headed east
  9. u dont understand pro ball....the coach is the guy who sets the roster, and decides who the co-ords get to work with...they will have input but HC makes the roster decisions...and my take on it is Osh is very stubborn...plays favorites, and is also I believe behind the closed doors a bit of a control freak....
  10. we went from best depth..2019 to 2021....to top couple teams in 2022...to possibly one of the poorer over all depth
  11. u keep goiung back to the same argument....and this occured all yr...but when the starters were not getting it done...we had nobody to come in to kick start it...or we had a coach who refused to make that call
  12. yeah I caught that too....and I think thats why Osh seemed to have to answer to nobody in regards to his poor roster moves
  13. and we were told it was due to a new scheme they changed for no apparent reason...so after 3/4 of yrs of it sucking...maybe go back to what worked?...call me crazy but.....
  14. we do/did....and thats how we do a lot of drafting....but lots are old now and need to be put out to pasture
  15. reload and augment....not over haul
  16. yup....only a few minor ones required...some are already in house Our main issue is we need to get away from this mindset of targeting these special team only guys, who basically offer no real use on our actual defensive and offensive units And we need to get back to the days of guys earning the spot...not inheriting it....Like when we cut was it Bryant...or Poop Johnson for stove...everyone was like wtf?!?!? We built a winner and grabbed some cups with a good group....but now country club life is over....need to fill in some gaps for the new breed to augment our core we maintain
  17. basically we made none....If anything we had to replace Miller with a ridiculous option....and we upgraded Ellingson's spot...
  18. from what happened last yr....and now this yr to that combo...gut check and humble pie eating time....and time to revamp things a little and make some tough decisions
  19. cant assume he's not tho either....goes both ways
  20. yeah.....could be end of line for him....and no sense in blocking yhounger talent, cause no way he is gonna be the guy for the 2025 GC year here
  21. u move on from Bighill there is Schoen money right there
  22. whats the link to his presser?...I didnt watch any post game stuff...shut er down when we attempted that stupid punt at the end
  23. they would have helped the gassed defense likely prevent Th Faj of all people look like a stud tho....would have took a crippled linebacker off the field that got torched for a TD....basically the deciding factor in a win or loss that game Rose Likely makes those tackles Houston whiffed on.....so yeah.....replacing G.I Joe with a useful player would more than likely had a net positive outcome
  24. well....2 of the 46 were not 100 percent and shouldn't have played....another.....Jackson served no purpose....Bennett as well.....why?....Thomas too.....We would have been better served to have had Kelley on the roster for defensive backfield depth and ST coverage which he excels at....Rose should also have been on corner too So by my count there were 6 guys placed on roster that did nothing for us to help get the W....
