scrubs that all got signed before FA officially opened....and I guess from your logic then it validates that Osh created a shittty roster of scrubs and guys who werent worthy -

G.M's run the team and the sms...Sure a coach will say what he would like...etc....but the finality is always on the G.M...Any other way and you get severe dysfunction and tire fires A good players coach...and no dispute in Osh being exactly that and a great mentor as a person and pro.... They would want to male that call as they would have more connection and interaction with said player(s) yup he is a good coach...better yet a real leader of men for sure...but he has a few almost fatal flaws...can he over come them? You obviously dont know the structure and how the dynamics work...certainly they work together but a G.M will always overule and have final say on the overall picture...or should.....and a Prez will for most part run things in the back ground and let his leaders lead...until things go batshit crazy off the rails due to supreme incompatence correct GM's knew the increase back in December... as for the roster..who and why played...the roster is totally on the HC game in and game out...he decides who plays...and playing less than the best players...or injured ones falls directly onhim The 2 inferior DT's we rolled out adnauseum took reps away from better guys on the roster...or relagated them to the PR Walters also brought in linebacker talent...and the HC cut them, or didnt feel the need to have one...2 on the PR to develop and or be there as depth...Our PR in general the last 3 yrs has been horrid...again...thats on the coach...The G.M may ask a few questions and maybe be displeased but in a well functioning team he will not step in and over ride the HC's roster decisions....tho at time he should have...but thats a slippery slope -

If Bourgoin was a real long shot then Hogan was an even longer shot....and save for BO's praise I have never heard his name really talked about in any regard to become a pro OC...Good guy and all....but not a guy on anyones radar yeah he a solid coach....but the is is just an extension of staus quo and trying to leep constant things from the past...like player issues...even if it isnt the best choice...and really...Typical Oshea I hope he does well....Is he the best guy on the staff for the job...nope.....prob the 3rd best now that JJ is here....Hopefully he takes a lot of what JJ has done in EDM as part of is template and utilizes it last yr -

WJ is only 240 something....and a smalller fast guy with explosiveness off the edge up here...yard off the ball can and will get under Tackles in a blink and cause all kinds of issues and create a lot of spread on the Oline When Phillip Hunt was up here he played in and around a shade over/under 240....I sure you all remember his play I mentioned before at some camps I was working at that Person's was a legit NFL pass rush specialist and highly touted....but they wanted him to bulk up...and hedidt want to...he will be perfect for up here...He should have been inserted into the last few reg season h=games here last yr....but Osh was too busy Oshin with his dead weight -

Baffling choice...and to me it reeks of a typical Osh awarding/gifting a role to a fav....he wasn't even the best qualified on our staff....and def isnt better than jackson. If you believe and wanna groom him yeah...give him an assistant to the O.C extra title...or offensive quality control type role....big jump that really isnt merit based by any means...who cares that BO raved about him as his coach...It was more for the mental and phsycological aspect of things....he didnt draw up pays and schemes in the dirt that BO went out and executed And if this was the route all along why the delay?....why no mention of in the running...did others turn us down...so we defaulted?....seems a bit wishy washy to me....and yeah head scratcher too we also dragged our feet on it too....and didnt view it as a pressing priority....and guys may have said eff this and were not gonna wait around on it any more...so we had to settle with an internal hire....an O.C worth his salt would want as much time to put things together, as well as be involved in player move issues....waiting until a week before FA isnt the optimal way to go about it -

We could have had any QB in his prime last yr...and Osh wouldnt have ut him in...so it wouldnt have mattered anyway...as it was we may as well not even had 3 qbs dressed nope...Osh would not have let him try...He to this day clings to the fact he made the right call amd would do it the exact ame way...he'sclueless in some areas -

I am certain Wallace will offer as much and more there in his second yr here than Dobson did...plus he great on his feet and active...and apparently is a sponge to coaching...what better place to grow into it than beside Big Stan too call me stoopid but what kind of recruiting violations would occur in WHS Football? -

Maybe thats why we missed out on all the WR's available not named Lawler....too much unknown here...players like to know who they playing for and if it a good scenario to get their dollars up I'd say Kelly's job to lose....Maybe even go global??...but looks to be thats where we gonna put the Ford ratio slot...and it's much easier to have a competent backup there too -

who said end of the world....said we did well this winter.....we also missed out on a buttload of talent that could have helped us too...lost an OC....Ass G.M ....threw away our dline depth that got snapped right up...just lost a starting olineman...have zero proven depth now at reciever...dline......if thats not doing well I not sure what is...I guess re-signing some dead weight makes it ok?...I dunno...you tell me curious myself -

same question on how is the dline better?....we subtracted 3 guys who played (FOX/Garbutt/Haba) added an over 31 guy to replace...and re-upped Jake...who will not be the jake of 2024....hahaha....so i see no upgrade there Canadian kid who used to play for Argo's??..Maybe we gonna go Canadian at safety and looking for bodies....I'd be fine with that..I'd say Kelly has to be the front runner minimize the need for all but 1 Canadian DT ... -

Booch replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
honest question....how is it better tho...the dline?...Vaughters in an upgrade for sure....but he needs to be rotated as does WJ with another end as good or better...who's that end?....it's funny Haba and Garbutt were deemed exoendable but immediately picked up before FA even started...obviously other teams see value and usefuness there...no?...or are they dumb signings? The secondary is probably as good...if not better to be honest...Ford was aa elite Canadian....but an import can offer the same as he did....and we are dep there....dline we have 2 legit proven ends...both albeit on wrong side of 30....One National DT....Lawson.....and 2 promising interior guys....Jake and Scmeck are neither elite...or promising....and just not good enough Receiver to be determined....Mitchell could be a crazy good signing...but he has never been a 1000 yard guy...Demski is always knicked and not getting younger...Clercius is a 2nd yr guy, and nobody knows what Schoen is gonna do out of the gate.....could be a case of not missing a beat...or could be a case of just not Dalton for many game...Banking on him as the bell cow receiver with no issues is a fairly big risk coming off an acl injury. After that...what have we got....Wheatfall only who showed a wee bit of promise...but also a whole lot of stuff he needs to pick up on still....we aren't just slightly worse as it stands OL i have no issue with...and if we actually target and land one of the big fish in FA then even better....and there is no Bighill for arse pulling coming anytime soon prior to TC We are better at returner tho and as a change of pace and package player on offence with Logan, and Jones is a big grab....but where we playing him...Behind the other Jones and Wilson....hopefully not but we all know Osh's loyalty to guys who have been here longer...whether they better or not -

St Vital Mustangs possibly then why not give him the gig??...He arguably was at the helm of one the best...well rounded offences last yr....so have him take a back seat to a guy who has never done it at the pro level....and also havingto integrate a significant amount of new talent into it is just a poor decision.... -

how so?..Younger was in total control of the defense....if you didnt notice by scheme and philosophy....not evenclose to the same thing...Hall was just here as a courtesy and to finish out his contract and us not having to eat the cost and let him go
