Booch

and couple of our LB's flailed away all bagged out being useless too there....

the fact whoever penned that drivel made not of Cobb as being an intruiging guy brought in and had to make note of it...tells you all you need to know on how they perceive talent and impact

yeah that school basically encompasses that neighborhood...and its just crime riddled...even the scholl housing in the area is sketchy as heck....Its almost like a war zone....

Peralta-Laney...notorious area in Oakland...know that well...one of the worse ones

even parts of Missouri....danger at every corner....make a wrong turn is ST Lois or K.City and you will get a dose of reality...scary We would recruit guys and train from Cali power houses like Longbeach Poly...Centenial...Inglewood so would get kids from some real bad neighborhoods...good kids but wise beyond their yr's just to survive and in and around Oakland....Eastmont...P-Laney..Freemont....places the Police avoid if they can for most part People up here complain about a lot of stuff...conditions of this and that...bad neighborhoods....They havn't seen the half of it...sad part there is so much athletic talent there that just cant get a chance due to circumstance it's crazy...and sad Placed a lot of young men in JUCO schools there and then onto places like Diablo Valley college...Fresno...Shasta in what is now the Big 8 conference in Cali...working with the NCSA (Next College Student Athlete) if wondering what that is where help is given creating recruiting profiles...finding right fit...access to the resources that they may not have gotten in the recruiting process from no fault of their own...just their circumstance and actually allows them to access what schools and coaches have actually accessed their profiles...pretty good stuff....something sorley needed up here but lobbying for it and trying to get something started up here basically falls on deaf ears

yeah I was saying that not to be a penicular device...Just a word of caution and advice from real world experience knowledge...as odd as it seems.....that word is a real no-no and can be very offensive in some instances, and by the time you realize it you may be waking up in an emerg department....if you wake up seeing as it is off-season and we dont have much else to yammer on about than good natured bickering a lil story.....I lived an played in the Oakland area for 3 yrs....and had some teammates who were straight gang bangers...or were guys with support of their gangs had got out of the lifestyle to try and make it thru sports...so would come to games...and practices as support so got to meet many....and it's a different world with different politics. I would watch guys have total convo's without saying a word but all in sign....and it was extraordinary to say the least. They taught me some lingo but the sight of that, was about the same as the sight of a big white dude trying to cut the rug on the dance floor....you just dont wanna see that! Went on a couple excursions as a "guest" to a few of the neighborhoods for BBQ's ...to say the least I was scared shitless and I rarely scare

thats not even up to date,,,like missing 5 seasons?

and makes more dumb roster and in game decisions...so yeah guess we agree 😉

all i trying to say is stop looking back....look forward and learn from past failures and what did you in...we as an organization havnt the last 3 yrs...and some fans arent either....2021 is eons ago in sports I a fan too...but also a realist....

he was for a spell but Dickhole had his hands all over it....

you keep going on with the yeah but we went to 5 cups....I get it...that "can" be viewed as sucess I guess....why dont you focus on we have stumbled and failed miserably in 3 striaght yrs....due to mainy for no lack of argument the same several issues....and focus on tht and maybe see why things could be tweaked....switched up....phylosophy's changed...maybe a new way of player management/use....which means having adequate depth and actually using them when injury requires it...or faltering play You say a reason is guys were hurt all yr...well where's the depth then?...Other teams had guys hurt too..Heck we got beat in the Grey Cup by a guy nobody wanted...and has had a career of basically nothing...B.C imploded because their HC trashed the room....Sask mainly from a couple dumb Mace decisions and 3 big break downs in their secondary.....coaching faux pas....we then lost a Gret Cup with some dumb HC decions...and some of our own faux pas.....bad coaching when it mattered I wouldnt say we owned anything last yr if I being honest you obviously live in a lil bubble then and are pretty ignorant to what is an offensive comment...Go call random people a goof then, and hope one isnt a biker...a person who has served time...a military vet....a person who has lived a less than privileged life....good chance you will be picking up your chicklets.... Same as whistling a lil tune in prison ...you will get warned once....next time....not so lucky

u do realize the "goof" in many circles is a very derogatory term eh?...?? and yeah...I read....and your comment also was a reflection of what I said as well...go...read...digest and the realize it could have been viewed as such som of whom shouldnt have nade it out of camp...there's the rub And not adding talent when you can....just because you have a cart....is pretty lame....No player is gonna get upset about the team getting better other than the guy being replaced...I guess...be better then??...I dunno... he also thjo will ask/influence and make a case to retain guys who shouldnt too...goes both ways...But agree it's mainly up to the G.M in who he brings in....does a coach...and not just here always keep the right giys?....thats a discussion all in itself Walter's tho seems to be sleep walking this yr and signing some guys with a lot of hopium needing to cash in for it to be viewed as a smart and savy move...TBD i'D say more like a few...not lots...and majority of them were due to necessity/injury....not so much we found a better guy...brought him in and up to speed then replaced a player

misread what I ment....Got praise from fans....fans praised him....and I sure he appreciated it to, and yes gave his players the props...what coach wouldnt tho???? yup....as I mentioned above....twisying the narrative I guess

Wilson..Parker..Nichols..Holm..WJ...Vaughters..T.Jones Craig Dicklesson

doesnt matter what he says to media...he still the HC and got praised for it...what are you not seeing...Players will say same...thank coaches for putting them in position to be successful...and their teamates as well....Only real dipshits and guys who dont last long in one place will wrap themselves up in all the glory and spout off about it.... So when things dont go as well....they deserve criticism...Players wont outwardly say "coach effed up and had a bad scheme...and didnt adjust" which is a lot of times the case...or poor roster moves......but believe me they feel that way....Osh when things go bad can't admit he screwed up...and would and does say...."I'd do same thing"...."no...that wasn't reason"..."I like our guys...all starters"....there is the deflecting and protecting guys and not admitting fault....but there is also taking ownership and admitting you screwed up too No coach is perfect and they all have faults that cost them games...Even our Oshea.....all coaches also get stale...flame out...and get fired....and as it stands since 2021...Osh...AND the Bombers as a collective unit have won nothing.....another failure due to similar reasons has to be...and should be a discussion on future.....whether you'all wanna believe or agree with it or not...

Dumping both...as we already have guys on roster to fill their spot....would have enabled us 260k or more to spread elsewhere And really...with Lawson..Samson and Schmeck still here that vacant spot for Tjomas could been used for a Canadian at a different position...ST depth..even positional depth at receiver..db...Canadian punter

That's not his job or role...and that's last thing an organization wants is the Prez or owner getting involved in the team day to day activity...who plays..starts...etc....but will step in when utter incompetent crap is going on...and sometimes behind the scenes and not publicly revealed...I think he has in a few instances had a few conversations too

You obviously have no clue how pro teams work...no offence btw..but u are off base...sure discussion is had...but the HC is the guy who makes final roster decisions based on what he feels best...all things considered...and gets praise for success...which he gets here...and also should get blame and criticism..that's way it is...always You don't know the discussions had...maybe Costello would prefer and lobeyed for Eli...or we go out and get mcewen..but got over ruled Same with defence and if you were to ask Younger or Hall before him if he'd prefer an all import front...heavy dose of legit import difference makers or Schmeck and Thomas getting primo reps...u seriously think he'd want that? Especially with the defence he wants to run he needs athletic and active guys in the trenches..guys with stamina as well...Thomas has none of that.. I'll give Schmeck props as he has a motor and some quickness and athleticism...he just not that good..I would think he is cut in camp if he doesn't show more...or should be That's where you need the foresight to cut bait and recycle away from guys that just aren't cutting it..and take up well above minimum salary...the kolos...thomas'.....etc U are kidding right?

Cause he not a guard...a top 3 ncaa ranked center...doesn't forget how to play...and he hardly got owned...some mishaps when he got emergency dropped in...but figured it out...and playing beside Kolo when you are not a true guard...didn't help either Eli moves bodies...gets to second level seeking to destroy...and is not undersized...kolo does none of that...and is undersized...and an undersized center who isn't athletic...is a severe handcuff Yes...this

Hc decides roster...and who plays and who coaches get as clay to mould

Still better...which makes us better

There were several tho who were better than kolo...

If you can grab a guy...who is better than what you have...or projects better...why you don't pull trigger is baffling...more troubling really...that's how you get a decayed old roster with no fluid transition...kinda like us...clinging to past glory Having bodies doesn't make you over loaded if they are not elite

Cause we good...as per Osh And people need to stop thinking Osh...or many coaches for that matter don't have bias and personal favs for whatever reason that will trump better talent....tho Osh is exceedingly bad at it If an opportunity to upgrade a spot is there...regardless of who it replaces you take it..Is that on Walter's here...or does he allow Osh to have too much sway...influence? Fact of matter there was opportunity to upgrade several areas...and we chose not to...

well...he did ask for assurance he would be allowed to prior to re-signing.....so if the re-nag on that assurance...thats pretty pathetic on the Bombers part
