Blue Bombers - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Booch replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
yeah unscripted is just a theory some cling to...so who knows, but also feel it likely wasn't as we did that several times that yr with success......ZC forging thru trying to play when in all honesty he shouldnt have been on the field was the demise there...and even then we still could have won if we had an elite PK I am ok with this...he can slide right in on the weekend...and it saves Brown from getting hurt on a sneak play....cause say he did prior to this signing...Sure Piggy is exciting and has some upside...but did you want him as the starter if ZC went down for an extended time if Brown got hurt running short yardage???...I certainly didnt.....so now lets focus on the Dline and move forward -
yup wash the game away...one of 18 and we weren't going 18-0...nobody will...15-3 again is a tough task...for anyone let alone back to back.....and likely wasn't gonna happen. You have to remember teams when they come play us...are pulling out all the stops, and likely adding wrinkles to things we havn't seen before, and outside their norm to try and knock us down a peg....and usually in the previous games we looked so bad, the follow up match was the polar opposite. Some players even said as much when we beat the Riders....in that they did some things they had never seen and was not what they expected, yet we won that one....likely as SASK is not a great/good team....I'm not overly concerned about a game I consider a one off....and almost feel a bit sorry for MTL as they may get the brunt of the team being a bit pissed....That being said....I still wanna see a better use of players and to better utilize the roster/PR and how we manage it for games

4 or 5 of those missing bodies surely will help....that cant be denied....but if they can't stay on the roster tho...then we may have to make some maneuvers -
Most times in my experience a good beat down is usually a combo of one team dropping an egg and the other firing on all cylinders for most part....and we have been on the other side of that on our beat downs of teams The funny part of the BC game even tho we played like dogcrap...which we all agree...late in that game we were actually still in it...and could have won it ...so for all the warts ... uncharacteristic penalties...poor play/effort...it could have been way worse and more embarrassing...a point to consider when acting like we are headed to the basement...one point that is still glaring tho and an issue is our roster makeup and management...

No we good with our global punter and olineman....4th american tackle and a useless Szott and Schmeckle...no need here Oh forgot to mention our DI'd american fullback....why would we sign National depth to better utilize the DI spot, and /or take advantage of the new Nationlized rule...It's not the Oshea way... -
B.C is basically same team minus Rourke...and Oft injured Burnham....and the defense was basically same obne we owned all last yr...even with Brown playing in his start as he put up 30 if I remember correctly. They were the better team yup last week...they came to play and fed it to us.....were we complacent....figured we had to just show up....or did we just have an off game?.....In my opinion and based on a whack of things I think it ws a case of we were right out-schemed and coached that game....were somewhat not taking them too highly, and yup...got a good fat serving of humble pie....was it a one off?...Most likely...are we the better team....i say yeah until B.C finishes higher than us, and knocks us out at end of the yr I tend to lean toward us...we shall see how season pans out....But we drop a deuce every year....hopefully that was the deuce

I'd be scouring their PR for any moves or shuffling they did....typical of a Jones run team...they may park someone there who is actually worthwhile grabbing, and who would say no to being plucked from there??... -

pretty much....and in regard to the bolded part not get laughed at too much Did you omit EDM..well just because....because I dont even consider them in any equation other than if they have the onions to turf Chris Jones yeah...I will wait on T,O until they play some of the better teams, and also after 4..5 games to see what Kelly is....From what I seen personally now after the first couple I can see ways to basically stop him right in his tracks -

at the pro level you can play press...man...bump and run...jamming......and if you can't then you shouldn't be on a roster....and if we are playing to not get beat deep, or playing scared/conservative...then time to put that strategy back in the drawer and break out the aggressive stuff....aggressive defenses cause turn overs...confusion and are scheme disruptors.....right now we are letting teams offences take the play to us and we react to it...time to reverse the scenario -

saving grace is that I think our defence is so ingrained in the Faj's head that he will never have success against us....so if we field another roster and effort of suck again we may sqwueek away with the Win -

prukop is what he is...won't show you anything more other than his ability to run that short yardage package effectively and pretty much not much else Piggy has shown flashes that he can as well, along with actually do some other things, so he would be the better option to keep around and develop and let learn the CFL game...especially behind ZC...he has unrealized potential at the moment... -
Yeah...I agree...I'm not writing him off either....and once we settle on a consistent group...who were the projected starters...I bet we see a change...If Lawrence was cut outright he would be picked up immediately when all healthy I bet a Rose/Nichols/BA/Parker or Mouhamed and Lawrence group with whomever is the extra will be just fine...especially if we get that DT position settled....because when Jeffcoat is back healthy with Willie and Haba who seems to be the real deal we will be fine at end, especially with some Hansen rotation...it's so early in the year and history has showed here that come playoffs the guys who are the legit starters and excelling were not the guys running around in weeks 1 through 10 for the most part

I don't think Darby was pulled due to performance....he has played fine all year.....and if your roster replacement for him if he sucked is Kramdi...well then whats the point of pulling him?....When you look how we are set pre-snap....4 DB's off the LOS and giving 8 to 12 yard cushion, and having the safety play some odd hybrid role...well you get what we have witnessed....easy pitch and catch with our guys having to come up to make the play, The dline has to be in QB face in a matter of a second, and that not happening...Maybe if we had a stud or 2 in the middle collapsing the pocket immediately to hurry the QB a bit we could fend it off, but we aren't...and we cant...and we been pourus as a result. Go watch all the other games and see what they do....Guys are engaging receiver's right at l.o.s and or are playing tight coverage so many of the quick hitters or pitch and catch plays the DB's are right on them , almost draped on them as others fly in to clean up. We are sending one or 2 extra guys.....and have 4 dbs in a deep zone...and for us the DBS have to come up to close, and our guys making up the front 7...8...generally are in chase mode following up the play and as we have seen when you have some waify DB's who miss the tackle or cant wrap a guy up, you get those y.a.c plays that been killing us....thtas one of the reasons many here are saying we look old....or appear to be old as some of our playmakers are schemed to be either chasing...or running up to the play...and if you miss...well we seen the gouging going on. Surprisingly we have actually been fairly decent on the run, but I think it more a matter of teams are just not focusing on it as they know that sad sac scheme will be easy to exploit to eat up yardage and clock and gas the defense...Teams are smart, and see the poor depth on roster and know they can basically bag out our ends by making them run all game long chasing when we only have 2 effective ones on the roster, as opposed to letting them attack...same can be said on the DT spot....Fix the Dline..Jeffcoat back and a Hansen rotating in will go a long way...if they not gonna be back anytime soon bring in Lemon...no time to train up a new guy with upside, as we should have done that the day of final cuts on the PR...but no we cut all the prospects..a few of whom looked good in pre-season and in camp. Use one of our big bodied receivers...or even Gauthier or Briggs and the fullback blocking role and free up that DI spot for Mouhamad...Cole....Or a big bodied legit DT....and use em all in rotation...Briggs and Gauthier...have played CFL ball their whole lives, and am sure can do the role Jackson is doing from being here a grand total of 40 days or so...Dump that extra 7th oline guy who is taking up a spot for who knows what, and use it with a ST guy who can actually serve a purpose, and get reps....Or be an actual viable replacement candidate in case of an injury...seeing as they have Jake declared another oline guy and actually have gave him a number almost makes you think he would go in before this guy...like wtf is that all about and why even declare that?? Fix/address/realize these things and we go from looking like a middling confused "old" team to basically close to what we been the last few yrs...Offence I am not concerned about....unless the same crap happens back to back this week....or sporadically in games up to labour day...but I doubt it as we always throw out one stinker a yr. The sky is definitely not falling, and across the board I will take this team over any.....Osh and his Co-Ordinators just need to pull their heads out of their asses and look around....see whats going on and not rest on status quo and loyalty/allegience...whatever you wanna call it cause it worked in past...that stuff usually has 2..3...yr shelf life then you need to tweak/add/replace a few things...player and or scheme and way you attack....Teams have 4 yrs of film and history now to go after the Bombers as it's been status quo now basically since late 2019....correct that....and we will be sitting in the Hammer come Nov -

Us giving a spot by default due to being here (Walker) piss poor draft..and then with an old an not so good no more Thomas...injured Hansen and a suspect health in Jeffcoat and not PR a legit DE prospect to groom ..and or DT is why we thin...weak ..and scrambling...issues in regards to depth and roster makeup which was brought up but most scoffed at. But we can PR a global olineman for yr 3 who will likely never see a true snap as a starter or backup ..a global punter...another import tackle in Ivy who is behind Richmond so likely never sees the field...another global db...whom I like actually and would prob serve more use on active roster than Mauro to be honest...and add in the lack of having a Canadian who can play Jackson's role so we don't burn a DI on that spot..that's the main issue with some injury problems right now. Plain and simple...would the addition of Wilson..Jeffcoat...Hansen...Rose...Parker..and then hopefully an impactful DI for Jackson make this squad look a lot diff... definitely...but how long is that gonna be? If they know it's basically right around the corner I can somewhat live with the b.s roster stuff...but if it's a who knows thing? Then time to make some moves/changes to tweak things to be more practical -

Lack of consistency/Chem is killing the secondary..and for whatever reason we are constant in a cushion allowing for easy short passing over and over and over..If you don't trust your guys to play man or press and are getting raped doin so then time to replace your DBS...will we switch up our game plan when Rose..Parker..possibly Muhamed are back/in..possibly We have an injury where we have zero coverage on in Jeffcoat..piss poor roster and PR management...Now if Jeffcoat was back starting...Haba spelling both off and or all 3 in together at times...with Hansen taking reps would make a world of difference....that and DT combo of Lawson and as it is now Fox...schmeckle should never see field and Thomas is toast...maybe a 6 to 9 rep a game guy now...we failed in recruitment and drafting for DL where we were thin...and gave Walker the spot by default in the winter soley cause he's been here 3 yrs? Shameful work by us The drafting of Bennet and the other 2 dt we took was weak..and killing us U seriously asked who? -
