Booch

that was my one concern, and was reason why I shocked we didnt grab one of the 2 guys who were available...Mauro I think could get us through a game at Wil...

why in the world would u hire Jones is the first question haha

I actually think Clements is quicker than Wilson to get out there...with some prep as the new number 1 guy now, I see no issues....and he also isnt a newbie...he knows the league and what teams run and basically what to look for from his time last year, and now Also Rourke and the BC O-line hasnt had to deal with a set of ends like we have, and a Biggie roaming around...I know its been yrs since he played there, and nobody really is left from his time there...but u can bet your life he will be extra amped up and on a mission....

yeah that one will be the tone setter for the playoffs

I think tomorrow we see the handing over the majority of the runs to the import...looking to spark things...

yeah....look to see some not seen yet this year movement of players....willie and Jeffcoat dropping off....some switching up of the LB duties....Rourke won't see standard fare stuff

I actually feel rather positive...BC has proven nothing really....and maybe caught league off-guard at first...I think this team likes to rise to occasion...as we have shown it....and it might just be a take the youngin back to the woodshed for a lil somethin somethin....short week and cross country jetsetting and all

the CJ curse....and firing him hurts em money wise.....but yeah I dont see them winning more than 3 games...and 3 games is being generous I think

Yup like the addition of the extra dline guy again...hope to see an expanded role for McRae too...be interesting matchup for sure

maybe he is the QB wrecker...Masoli too is looking like he is regressing now...be interesting to see what he does this weekend....I think the SSK db's are very suspect, so they should be able to pick em apart on the intermediate to medium range throws..short and underneath is not a good gameplan if the SSK linebackers are in a groove....and thats Lapo bread and butter and sure that SSK has planned for that all week....break the mold and u will exploit them

thats Osh's one fault in my opinion...almost too much loyalty to guys based on fact they been here a while, and feels like he owes it to them or something...when we were running sets out there with Briggs and Gauthier together, and solo....we were noticeably weaker...and teams targeted it...It's nice to reward guys and be loyal....but it's also a business of winning, and continually getting better....and at times it seems we miss the boat on that and rather do the status quo. I forgot about Mauro and actually like his game and what I have seen of him...athletic and motor never quits, and even though he is technically a "global" he has the same college and amateur developing as most imports....so his learning curve is more on par with them...and he's not a rook...so should have grasp of the system and it's responsibilities now and can react as opposed to think

decieving numbers on the long tho, as I can clearly recall Nichols trying to hit him and missing badly....it wasnt a case of Lucky being open, or dropping the ball, or losing contested battles...they were flat out misses, go back and watch the games...plain as day

Yeah...media and CFL is totally tarnishing and tainting his success haha...but that's a crazy unreal stat none the less...and a lot is in him...but a lot is a total team thing too...

Originally here he could...he actually threw quite well and had us become a field stretching offence...then something happened...then he got hurt a few times...then he was done

I know we like to use the next man up mentality here, and I have no problems with Clements stepping in to Wilsons spot as every indication has shown he more than capable, and also isnt a rookie and has experience in 2021...but who backs him up??....and seeing as we passed on Awe and the released Alloutte player perhaps team knows the Wilson injury isnt season ending and not as bad as many feared?...hopefully so as I know Osh says all guys on roster are there cause they are capable and starter quality, but last year when we used Gauthier and Briggs in that spot...we were significantly and noticeably weaker and less dominant

totally forgot how many times we gifted them the ball, and how little they could do with it

i think it was that Nichols and or Lapo didnt trust that he could get it out to him...and teams knew that, and a lot of times that "decoy" was pointless, also sure it seemed like he improved his route running, and yeah he worked on it too, but when you aren't allowed to run routes in one place, but are in another for sure it will look improved...Lapo totally mismanaged Lucky here, almost caused him to stagnate, and his predictable play calling is what got him injured....and it's a shame as he would be an excellent piece in this offence here

Yeah that one was especially brutal considering the stake of that game, and the juncture it happened...total garbage

the key with this team, for most part very disciplined and rarely cripple or handcuff themselves with stupid penalties and selfish play, and also very rarely make mental errors and cough up the ball....smart, well coached and take that coaching into games and utilize it, and thats why we can win games where we played way below our level, or shouldn't have won...thats the key point here, and reason why I am not to concerned...especially here in July

I'd be shocked if Osh leaves for there...totally shocked...ain't happening...has a good thing here, chance to become a legend...fully ensconced into city, kids are grown, he has no reason to go there...he has just as much reason to go to the Cats with that logic....Osh will not be the coach here when a) we fire him or b) he retires

Pretty much refused to use him past the line of scrimmage

Yup...pretty much...and has shown he can be a reciever all over the field...where when here a lot of people said he couldn't be...or wasn't...not his fault Lapo muzzled him...

yup....may level the filed a bit with our injuries and short week...

they will be 1 and 2 regardless....the team who has been in top spot all year...going into a cross continent short week with a myriad of injuries piling up...on the road won't get punted to 3rd or 4th with a loss to another unbeaten team...thats just plain dumb...especially when the 2 3rd and 4th teams have been less than inspiring themselves...

this exactly....and you know the locker room has guys who will not be happy...and Macciaioca is very removed from todays game, and athlete....i can see them really floundering now
