Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Booch replied to Atomic's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
yeah....banking on Schoen being a legit number one this yr was a bad bad decision...really when you look at it...stupid as he wasn't even a yr removed from injury alone until what...week 4? So for our plan to replace Lawler and essentially Schoen's production we sign a guy (White Jr) who had an even worse injury than Schoen, re-upped Schoen ( we should have just 6 gamed him 1 or 2 times to ensure he was a bit more re-habbed) picked up Sterns who couldn't crack Sask roster (and last yr we had a better unit than them) and at best is a nice 3rd or 4th import option, and threw a big chunk at Mitchell and then promptly sat him as we made an excuse or 3 about him...or just didn't know how to use and implement him (take your pick) We brought in a nice group of new guys, then promptly cut them all and kept a guy Case who couldn't stay on roster here last yr, and when did get back on showed exactly why he couldn't claim a spot again...so really have to question the smarts and capabilty of our coaching and management at this point...cause man thats just brutal -

Brown going off for 400+...4 td's....no pics....looking silky smooth will be a right kick to the plums...especially in front of a full house -

wasnt so much a case of Schoen being healthy...was the fact he may not even be ready, and if he was "ready" was less than a yr removed from surgery and every football person knows that coming back from that injury a lot of times...basically most times you are not the same player for at minimum half a yr after you are actually back in the field,,,more often than not a full yr....so that was a flawed and basically stupid decision...should have signed both....and made the dollars work...and we could have and eased Schoen in somewhat as opposed to hoping and depending on him to be your elite WR -

Sheehan has been fine since he stopped kicking the stupid crap...no all-star but way better than he was and isnt hurting us now....He goes back to punter guy tho if that crap starts happening again -
he was on a few snaps early on...as saw him....but basically just taking up space...didnt do much and had zero impact Just a waste of a spot nah...thats no biggie...Be more concerned of it was a staring receiver....but lotsa guys have pulled double duty doing that before...not uncommon I just don't think he the best option tho this yr yet in the backfield....but maybe this is his chance and with reps and learning as he goes he gets better and better....thats how you develop young talent and let em earn their chops...Osh forced to do so as we really have nobody...only way we get new blood integrted...by season ender injury or a guy moves on....
-
lol...pretty much..... Ball...Hallett.....Kelly...very redundant and really serves no purpose....only 1 should be getting any rotation on defense....the other 2 be better served with say Cobb as another back up receiver and returner....and give Bailey his shot....if he shows he has use as a rotation guy then thats a win....But Osh loves to roster under performing and irrelevant Canadians for whatever reason....Drop Thomas...Ball...Hallett for guys who may actually add something other than 2 guys getting 6 to 8 reps a game chasing down kicks would be nothing but beneficial...and Thomas' contributions...or lack there of

No...I was not complaining about that...nice try tho I said right from get go drafting a 27 yr old who looked good against kids was an idiotic waste I think part of our problem is signing too many these so called character guys...we need more guys with edge and attitude I just find it funny how when we desperate we can overlook some things -
You forgot qb...center too...

Same Is he even allowed in Canada Why don't we get Nic Marshall to car pool up with him while we at it?...I thought we only brought on high character guys? And if true typical...recycle old garbage -
True...so we a 500 club last 3 playoffs inluding 22'..not sure why you wanted to start in 23'...not good enough...500 club this yr...and trending down...badly Really should have been 10-8 last yr without that gift from God So I guess 17-15...still...not good enough when the repeat reasons for failure keep occuring
-
he's had the last 2 yrs at minimum to adapt....and thats giving him some benefit of the doubt and some rope from past success But he has shown either no ability...or no desire to unless forced to...be it injury or a lil gentle suggestion from above....to me that says you get what you see, and an old stubborn war horse such as that...at this juncture in his career isn't gonna change....so it's time to say thanks for all the good things...being a huge part of the resurrection here....but time to say goodbye and we will honor you accordingly in the near future based on last 3 grey cups....and 2024 and this season to date...we are a .500 ball club....and we aint currently trending up...we trending down.... and save for that 2024 Montreal miracle fluke of biblical proportions...we sub .500 Thats 30 games
-
can't argue that haha
-
we had no o.c as well into FA....Another huge factor in where a guy may wanna go.....and we yreated that as no big deal....more stellar work with the ho-hum off-season hahah....dont be so weak lol
-
there was Lawler...Coxie...Lewis...Rhymes among others....even Hollins...all gonna be available....but we targeted a back from brutal injury White Jr....back from injury Schoen...and a never was really in Sterns....who mind you would been a good cheap compliment to 2 studs...and to further add to the pile of meh Cobb....and heralded Mitchell as some huge steal...and paid handsomely...then sat and ate his salary until finally last week...then targeted him 3 times and didnt implement anything for him to show what he is capable of....stellar work if I say so lol
-
we could have got him for 275k...and be money well spent....we just cheaped out...again....recurring theme....But have no issue in wasting money on sub par guys....basically just cause they were here in the glory 2 yrs
-
BO....He's due
-
Dalton vs Kenny would have made sense if he wasn't coming off only 11 months post acl repair
-
Done!
-
I was thinking you'd land a scouting or co-rd gig......but also open to suggestion...what ya want??...lol
-
haha....yup....wanted to alleviate your stress....just get arses in seats...bring in some legit half time acts...lol
-
Solution you can be Prez @wbbfan @GCn20 are co-G.M's @Mike head of scouting...pick yer 3 mates I gonna HC this ship...combo of old school and player coach who's relatable @JuranBoldenRules new position...Game day efficiency guy @17to85 you gonna be finding our co-ords....I have faith @SpeedFlex27 since you an old fart no real position...just roam around with the years of knowledge and cool stories you have about the league and team and @Noeller dedicated poster...not sure where we fit you in but we will give you sideline access none the less....hahaha There we have it...done....finished...solved 🤣 funny part...I bet that crew could have squeeked out a couple cup wins thru 2022-2024
-
I hope Osh decides to move on ....and he doesnt have the acumen for G.M.....not a attack on him, but some guys just dont have the make-up and or desire for such a position....He being one
-
YUP...Been a slow steady build and we didnt do anything to prevent it really...if anything we fueled it....and are kinda scuffling now

If we are unable to land any other legit number one prospect QB via either FA or trade, we have to bring all the guys back.....proclaim it's an open camp and have a true QB competition.....all guys get as much or even equal work with the #1's and whomever comes out of camp and has shown the best, and has the most tools in their toolbox to work with...then roll with them....Not much else we can do about it But another season going into camp with the declaring this guy is our guy here...thatguy there before a single snap is taken in TC is just the prelude to more of the same ol same ol And another good indicator is if we dont immediately say shortly after the season and pre free agency that we are moving on from player A thru F....again...expect more the same until HC and or GM are canned by game 6....thats if they are re-upped 12 YRS is a long time and with no signs of any deviation from what was previously done....dont expect it in yr 13....ya cut bait before we are cellar dwellers
