A Bryant Turner right now would be a nice add that's for sure I have an uneasy feeling with our dline interior as it appears our 2 best options (Woods and Adams) are gonna be giving away reps to the glut of bad Nationals not named Lawson...and it's even unclear if he gonna be pre injury Lawson...but with Thomas..Schmeck..Samson and now that cast off we grabbed outta Montreal to me seems like we gonna go heavy canadians as why have that many...especially if we still use Kramdi..and go National at safety there no real need for that many Nationals...Have Lawson and the best of the other 3...and if it's just for 6 to 8 reps a game like many suggest..then give it to an upstart with potential...and save some sms cash...even Schmeck who is in 3rd yr of his rookie deal is making more than the minimum entry level salary...of what could be a better import guy...either a true Nose or a versatile 3 tech...do we even have any legit interior prospects signed to training camp? None I am aware of Bad vibes...juju...whatever u wanna call it but I can see dline being a weak point and one the worst in league

For Ellingsons impact here and what he did...it's like he wasn't even here..was a stop gap at best and best thing he did was get hurt as it allowed Schoen to step up...so in that regard it was a win

Wilson hasn't proved anything yet...one good yr...now was that an aberration...or is that just scratching the surface? Lumping him into great finds is a bit premature We found Schoen ourselves...Lawler was a guy we didn't bring in...but saw him in B.C so took a chance...much like Adams in t.o...which also worked out...but this regimes success at reciever isn't glowing by any stretch Db been lights out tho...drafting of Cdn oline as well...but with import oline guys we got lucky big Stan chose here...and Hardrick panned out but we didn't find him...took a flyer...I think tho having an outstanding oline coach helped there...and with our line in general ....but name another import we have found who is killing it

He's not wrong tho Well BOLO for one left due to it...2 contracts ago Woli was going to as well but some players stepped in and convinced him to stay...Strev this yr also alluded to it...I'm surprised Parked re-uppd as he was none to happy in 2023..there's others here but don't wanna trigger some light weights here who see no issue...a couple still here ... Stfu when you have no clue....I have this on 100 percent concrete knowledge... With posters inane ability to attack others even tho some of his takes have no basis other than his assumptions

Become a society of whiners and weak minded...and lack of a better word a bunch of pusssssssiea! Dbs..and Rbs as collective group..best in league...the rest at moment...mid tier at best until shows othwrwise Mr oshea is a big reason of our roster deteriorating..whether you choose to.believe it or not...guys tend.to.not resign or pick a spot sometimes not cause of $$...or potential to.get theor dollars up for next deal And it's not that we didn't "overspend" for a big name.

Well definitely didn't spend any significant money anywhere...why who knows..so we should have money...question is will any stud that comes available choose here tho

the fact that people even complain is a head shaker....I have been called names....read things I didnt really agree with on how it was worded...oh well...suck it up...dont like....block..mute...ignore...whatever...as long as threats of violence or really derogatory racist/or just wrong comments are made.....then is what it is...it's the internet and a public forum.....what would one expect?...not to be rude to people but man....grow a pair already I bee at practice...a lot...he see'sdiddly poo...not even watching...I've personally had him ask "so who looked good?" yup....going to the principal to complain......like cmon dude's lol

I was part of that too

Just call it adults room haha wasnt directed at anything you said....I have no qualms with you...and enjoy your input what is offensive to tugging...tugging on a skirt...pant leg....whatever you wanna assume it to be.....I said nut...well now consider it everything but

Is this site tho a state run site for news/commentary...so to speak?..Apparently I got a inappropriate language warning for saying tugger by one the "powers that be" I guess moving forward I will use "kisser" as in kiss the ring..."bender" as in bemd the knee to....or "licker"...as in boot licker...all terms and phrases used and acceptable in mainstream media.....if you choose to think of it as something else....you know who you are...then thats your sick mind....not mine But here's a thought....how bout a room that is for the non thin skinned benders?....make it password protected and you need it to gain entry so the easily offended cant stray into it ad be offended? Where tugging...bending and criticism can freely flow and be discussed?...and opinions that vatu be discussed without bias?...I'll even offer to moderate and I sure there some others be nore than happy to as well, tho I doubt with how you access it there would be much need for moderation as personal attacks and bias wont really be an issue....I would even offer some more insider and out of the horses mouth info/content as well which I would never share here....how bout it?....Boss

A few players underperformed...so did some on winning teams that beat us too...that's not an excuse Unferperforming players generally are a direct line to being poorly coached in a game and failing to adjust and schemed wrong generally 90 percent of time...that and a player either just not good enough...or healthy ..and sadly we had all of that combining in it Those 3 reasons are why we pissed away 3 straight cups...we were out coached and poorly constructed ..especially the last 2 cups with minimal to zero depth to actually play as an adequate injury replacement...coaching was our demise even considering all the ya buts..they mean diddly T.o had nothing going on with their offence in 2022...so they yanked the underperforming vet for a rookie..pulled it out...mtl used a middling limited QB who we had owned.. schemed a game plan for him to negate our strengths...we didn't adapt ...we played 5 guys...key guys clearly injured...as we had no depth..or faith in backups...Mtl won T.O last yr...had to start a backup...schemed a plan for him...and on defense same...we either couldn't...or wouldn't adapt...then continued to play a qb who couldn't throw...as we either had no depth or faith in it...or ability to on the fly create a plan...and lost That's coaching boys and girls...but oh yeah we won the west...who ******* cares

I think he wanted to try down south again...but he is what we need....strong and athletic...and just a smidge over undersized but athletic ....just want u want

Benedict Ibisi here in 2002 qnd 2003 Ibisi...and he was good too

Past...key word... What were the accolades and ratings of last 3 grey cup champ qb's?...what had been their career accomplishment? And it continued into 2024 And the last mop should went to bo...without him...we don't get to first and thru playoffs

Ye who feels someone does no wrong and hence tugs lol

oh watch what you say...tuggers gnna attack

right now we have zero proven depth on our Oline....none...and we dont even know who is at right guard....we weaker than last yr and how is that even possible? One of Eli and Wallace will grab a spot.....and or be the extra oline guy...and thats factoring Kolo at center...which is still a weak spot...3 yrs running now...If Eli is allowed to compete for Center and take it over Kolo isnt even a good candidate for the 6th giy as he is only serviceable at center....and thats being generous.....if someone was to go down we would have to shuffle other guys on the oline to make it work....and I have a shiiity feeling we gonna have to waste a DA on an import olineman this yr unless we go with a straight outta University guy Again hamstringing our roster with a useless DA like we did with Mr Marine...... Dline much the same...we have 2 ends who we know can play....thats it....2 promising interior guys who we know are gonna be getting reps taken away by drip and drop Canadians.....sure we have Lawson back which helps, but anyone with half a brain and knows the man love Osh has for Thomas that he gonna get more than too many reps in lieu of him...Our dline as much as many claim that Haba and Garbutt and Fox were no loss...is a lot weaker Not sure what the plan is, but to me looks like there wasnt much of one and we didnt pursue anyone to shore up our lines.....or.....we lost out on players not named Ceresna because they flat out didnt wanna come here....or.....Osh indicated to Walters that " we good"...I leaning more to the "we good" side until proven otherwise after camp and maybe he makes the tough cuts

if we get to the grey cup...pretty certain it will not be because we had ZC.... Agree on Ford....good corner....not 230k good when you can get an American to play the same spot as good....or better for 75 to 125k....

no...never said he needs to be fired right now.....but another dissapointing loss...of avoidable reasons.....why not?.......regardless tho we would be just fine if we move on too...success wont start and end with him....and coaches get stale and the message stops working....and yes...they have expiry dates.....seen it first hand with good coaches....no knock on anyone just way it is....you can see it in some the players...and also some the sound bites....and also in some of the off the record convo's Our years of futility and embarrassment fell more on the management and how things were ran and ...not ran...we are in a good place...template is etched in stone...only an absolute moron in the management role...and then extended into who they would bring in to coach would derail things.... Players will always speak glowingly in the media....and should play hard for the team...regardless of who is running the ship....anything less and they should be gone....Culture too is curated by the players....Osh himself even says he rarely goes in the room and lets them dictate the narrative....He and Walters and Miller for sure curated it...that being said...it isn't rocket science or a new concept this "good culture "and "environment" and treating players as family and pro's....That want invented here....it was brought to the fore front tho and sorely needed....and for what it is worth that was Miller's and Walter's intention before anyone was hired, and Osh shared their same vison and also I am sure brought some extra Osh stuff with him that made it what it is his mistakes have cost us dearly...3 straight championships, and in all honesty....a lot of his success is attributed to the x's and o's his staff put together...any good coache's success is...as for most part a HC should be hands off and let his assistants do what they were hired for...and step in and over ride things if he see's things going off the rails and or a less than optimal plan....and thats where he has a serious fault as it seems he has no desire to do that...is it he can't even see it himself....has no clear answer to adjust?....who knows...but it is pretty apparent...I bring up his positives, but also will bring up his negatives...a couple of which are almost fatal

we could do a hell of a lot worse than Jones/Jones/Ayers/Wilson as a group of 4...an athletic and active group...not overly concerned there really tho a legit thumper in the middle would have been ideal....but a nice group to go into camp with in addition to new prospects

yeah...kinda agree...for a GM who said had money to spend...I just dont see where we went and did something exponentially better than what we had ...I like Mitchell if he meets that potential....and Jones was very very solid...and Logan I think may be our most impactful pick up....other than than....a lot of ...meh...whatev's signings and some that need a question mark answered to be considered a solid pick up....Gonna put a lot of hope in that our new scouting dept brings in some gems...we have access now to a different pipeline and connection base, so hopefully it reaps rewards other than Returner/Offensive change of pace guy and Jones....I having a hard time really seeing where we really upgraded anywhere significantly....and actually as it currently stands are weaker in a few areas.....

Him and Wilson can share an Uber back up...neither will stick

so a PR guy

he is a good coach but all good coaches run their course....name one in the CFL that has coached forever?....and ever....and quit when he felt it was time?.....I'll wait for the answer......also....great coaches don't make the same errors yr...after yr...after yr....and then can't admit they ****** up...there is also that......and Just as Strev said....sometimes you need new juice...new ideas....new people....goes for coaches too ya know....if and when he is gone...we will be just fine if the management above is still as is.....aka...competent...I know you think Osh can do no wrong and he is the sole reason of any success...its your choice and and can see your reasoning....I dont share that same feeling......Ican be a ****** and say you talking out your ass, but find it un called for....obviously you feel otherwise.....its ok.....I have skin....

Think about it...the Last 2 Grey Cups have been won with the highly favoured team losing to a Faj...and a Fatty Arbuckle....they highlyfavoured team also lost to a Looney toony MBT and sex predator Kelly......over the highest paid QB in the league...why...each winning team tailored game plans to suit thier QB and put them in best position to win and proper "healthy" tools to use....while the favoured team did same ol same ol...tried pounding a square peg in a round hole when it was obvious it wasnt working...and neither put their players in best position to win or supply adequate healthy tools to make a plan work...A healthy Strev...heart...guts and tangible and intangible traits...with a solid cast...and good coaching...will win way more games than he loses you You can take that to the bank.....
