curious o see the depth chart....but am certain there wont be any optimizing of anything or addition of a different body...Other than it appears to be Case whbich really.....is a big whooptydo...May as well just went with Cobb and loaded up the import spot from no bryant and schoen on defence with Person and J.Jones to see how that worked for us I have zero faith in Osh doing anything outside what he's done so far this yr Brutal....and the one guy on it who would have made the biggest impact....isnt on roster (J.Jones).....make that make sense somebody for a potential Gray Cup at home appearance....what a failure and disappointment of an off-season.....
-
you would think they would add say and End....or get Jones on Roster in Bryants spot....6 Canadians again on offensive side of ball so only 1 needed on defence for any given snap....So be it Lotsa Lawson....and I'd have Griffin at SAM so he on the field all the time and rotate Kramdi in like Griffin did....or use Kramdi at SAM for snaps and Have griffin do his usual thing to spell off Lawson You'd think too seeing how we need ways to get pressure on defence they would add Bailey for Weitz too, and really keep our front guys fresh and able to cut loose...but all that would make too much sense Osh prob will dress Lofton as an extra olineman...or Cooley who will see prob zero reps on offence with Brady and Peterson already on roster and just waste a DA with yes...I will say it...poor roster management
-
This is a real thing.....and as close and tight as teams/media and the like will say the room and culture is....and players will say it publicly also as to not rock the boat....there are still exclusive groups who do talk amoungst themselves and question the why's and how's and see when a certain player gets played over a better player....it's a normal thing....it also has to do with earning their dollars...or chance to earn more dollars....its a show me sport and how you get your pay....and careers are short Lotsa people will say "yeah but nobody picked up this rookie...or that rookie we cut" but teams have time and money invested in their own recruits...and wont drop their guys for someone elses...thats how you eviscerate your scouting department....and also a good reason why Penn left here....worked his butt off and to watch slugs and plugs and lesser talent get the playtime as a coach's choice.....could have advanced up the ranks here but chose to do so with Goviea....Penn is a serious up and comer and a bummer of a guy to have lost
-
It does when you still work with many, and with a lot of young guys looking to land jobs up here...I also didnt mean to be rude but a lot of what I will divulge isnt opinion so sorry if came across as attacking.....but also once a player...always a player too....so you do get extra spilled tea on the inside stuff.... Cgy has had a lot of turnover actually......The elks just spent poorly....they robbed from peter to pay Paul so to speak hahahah.....i do know him very well actually....he did a total chamge tho from when first here to his H.C gig....I think he had some kind of life event that messed him up....or he just was an addict to power and became a right tool
-
Yeah Gavin was good...I remember at the time ol Taman didnt even wanna bring him to camp...said he would just be TC fodder....I gave him crap a couple yrs ago sporting a cut off Allouttes T-Shirt while working out hahaha
-
several people here know me....and I wont just reveal to anyone...especially someone of your ilk as from your post it's obvious the kind of person you are....cute post tho....funny too coming from a poster who likes to think his "opinion" is more legit than others just because he a sycophant...are You Osh??? 😉 and doesn't wanna believe it, or think other's opinion or comment holds no validity Who goes to a Golds gym north of the border...I dont even go there when training in California.....and you are saying disgruntled....I never said disgruntled....just the way it is, and why guys left.....And I train...and train with former and current players btw....and they also know my history and who/where i played for....I'm not just rando Joe fan....so yeah guys talk to me and I have never revealed a name here about inner workings and vibe...Tho have mentioned guys in other aspects....you can (players) talk candidly to people you trust...whether you believe it or not. You...and no offence so dont get your knickers in a knot believe this veil of secrecy and tight lipped aura of a room....sure it's true with media and fans, but not colleagues....current and former...and there's a reason no former player broke a barrier to you....you're just a fan who befriended them.....and thats all you were/are.....big difference
-
hahah.....no but he likely would help....you know Osh creams over vets and wont give a rookie a chance...so prob only way we get a guy on roster I see Gavin Walls often training...maybe he will give it a whirl hahaah
-
I agree....that being said...we could use him lol
-
I can attest that there has been/is a bit of issue in the room...in regards to some "decisions"....thats not conjecture or "my always right opinion as some claim" but from inhabitants in the room...or who were in the room.....I not gonna mention names as I wont break the players bond/code....but will just leave it at that....choose to believe it or not (thats not directed at you @Bigblue204 but the usual sycophants here) You not gonna hear about it...media has no clue and wont report on it, as they don't even ask the pertinent questions anyway and even if they did Osh would dance around it or spin it differently anyway...Half the stuff that comes out of his mouth shouldn't be taken as gospel anyway...and it's not he's "protecting" anyone...it's just who he is And yes I know for a fact that some guys left here and it wasn't a "we the bombers decided to move on)" as spun by media, but more a fed up thing...again....mock me...believe me...whatever some you all like to do but it is what it is And pretty sure if things go as they have past 3-4 yrs...you will see a real upheaval with players next yr....and we likely take a nice slide

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Booch replied to Atomic's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Working off the 65k bonus perhaps??...lol....what a waste of money if we feel we cant use him....pretty sure he'd offer something on the field. -
WHY DO you think Penn left...there reasons for everything....Walter's needs to step up as Boss...Or Miller step in and make it known how heirachy works...Osh seems to have too much say in things...and not in a good way every coach runs their cousre...and their ideologies start to wane and not work....hence nobody coaches forever....really good ones dapt and evolve...Osh hasnt adapted or evolved at all So say we have another up and down yr...get in playoffs and flop again...due to a combo of poor roster makeup....playing injured guys cause you had no trust in, nor did you allow any to play/develop and even evaluate to see if they even deserve to be here....and more dumb in game decisions? Keeping a guy on again with those 4 straight failures for same reasons...after 12 yr....time for change....like I said...He not the only worthy coach out there And how is it a smear campaign when it's just presenting whats occurred...facts...and the obvious???... He's been outcoached and outmatched in 3 straight championship games...so obviously there are other more than capable coaches out there no...its a case of osh ruling...plain and simpple...always has been
-
there apparently was no plan....looks like a wait it out and our guys will come back....and we will run it back again with the same ol same ol...and when some of the same ol same ol moved on for whatever reason....we were just scrap heaping at that point....the only significant guy we signed is languishing on the 1 game IR so nobody steals him off our PR...Or he just flat out say fack right off of we tried to PR him...., and Logan who has been hurt Pretty apparent we didnt make a legit offer to any free agent who could have helped us....status quo we go again cause when you look 4..5 yrs back...we had success
-
HO HUM slacking attitude that things will just work out and guys will sign.....thats not an isolated incident either
-
Thank christ as likely 5-8 of them be forced ones resulting in picks I bet we see a lot of forced stuff this weekend...especially if our group is Sterns....Case...Hobbling Demski...Clercius and Wheatfall....thats a sad ack group really....kinda sad to loook at
-
the stubbornness tho has resulted in 3 straight avoidable losses...that cant be ignored and the fact he STILL refuses to alter hios ways cant be either....thats my gripe I agree he has more good qualities than bad....but the bad ones are fatal ones....and that has to change. That being said he is not the be all end all and if we were to move on...or he was to choose to move on...we'd be just fine....and could be even better too...who knows....But I doubt we would find another guy who refuses to use the rules allowed cause he doesn't like them....or refuse to play his best players too.... We have a good team....yeah...not great...and looks to be one of the weaker ones in the last 5 yrs tho, as other teams have clearly got better....so right now until I see a few more games and maybe a bit of a shift in what we do....I not super convinced we will be challenging for anything yet
-
heres a list of ones who lost 3 straight for totally avoidable reasons Osh People can make all kinds of lists they want...and cherry puck stats/facts.....but he has flaws as all do....and stubbornly wont change them and they have cost us dearly....and not just a one time blip....its ongoing....
-
Mitchell has proven he can play and make a difference.....Case has not....and is not the type of receiver we need either Part of our narrative here as well is that guys are able and supposed to play in different positions...so if he is unable to...which is B.S then why is he here? he totally deserves the bashing he gets in several areas...denying it just makes you an Oshea sycophant
-
well if we all being honest and remove the blue glasses and and Osh worshipping, our WR core is worst in league,... worst dline in league......bar none.....one of the poorest use of rostering and usage of rules regarding it afforded to us in league game in and game out...,,and not a stretch to say one of the worst if not the worst team in league related to depth now We have some real good prospects but will never know how good, or give them the chance to find out....but right now cant be considered depth of any kind because they wont get used
-
Its personel...we need better on dline...well better and more quality rotation behind WJ..Vaughters..Adams and Lawson
-
helps when a) you draft guys who can play...or b) give guys with ability the chance/reps.....something we rarely do unless forced to due to injury or defection.... That even goes for import talent we recruit too Theres also Ugalak in Mtl...Dequay...even Sask has guys taking sig reps...Saad....Busby last yr...we just draft guys who we see as ST and rely on an aging/declining group of "starter" ...I have that in quotes as some aren't starter worthy mainy because we had some success in 2019 and 2021....thats poor assed coaching man
-
But as long as osh is here...ZC...guys like Thomas...kolo...JOnes...Wilson..Kramdi...Scmeck/Korn...Punter guy...Hallett...Weitz will be starters or have roles even if not the best option...let alone actually worthy..status quo we go with Osh
-
Yup...we messed that up...and then go and tie ourselves to him again for 2026 without seeing him take a snap and where he is at first...if that's not just plain stupid I don't know what is...especially based on his play the last couple seasons
-
When Brown came in and took that game outta the garbage and won it...that should have been the eye opener for our coaches to start the transition
-
That's a bad trait in a coach at any level and any sport
-
look around the league and see other teams draft picks...first yr and second yr guys making major impacts on offence and defence...then look at us....guys who just may make an impact dont even get a sniff or chance.....and the remainder are slugs and plugs who never should get a chance....this is where we failing in epic proportions That and clinging onto guys well past the best before date but playing them like all-stars in their prime and using aged guys with no proper rotation and burning them out game in and game out.....will say it again and again...Osh is a bad HC in roster management and makeup....he reaped the benefits of a stacked line-up (Thanks to Kyle) but has no clue how to effectively turn one over or see when it's time to cut ties....move on, or put his bias' aside and actually play the best player, and to effectively get major reps for the "back-ups" and up and comers so when we have injury issues when it matters...we arent royaly screwed
