Booch

YEAH of any of our oline guys he is the last one being manhandled

Houston has exerience in league....knows the players and the standard sets in the CFL and has familiarity with basically most our defense so if anything thats a plus Has he evolved his game and is more cerebral about his approach and picks a better time to gamble?....we shall see.....I really don't recal his CGY performance tho....did he reign it in a bit there? Dandy I also agree...why he was let go is beyond me....other than the typical Osh tendency to keep hold overs even if not the best choice....and brings a lil more physicality too which is needed Imagine if from game 1 we had dressed Person....Allen...say a Dandy, had Schmeck from game one as opposed to the what in the hell Korn rostering...Even J.Jones tho he still gets limited reps....how much further along we could be on defenc with cohesion and guys getting reps/experience

Yup...Ford was definitely a no go...that's a position easily filled every 2..3 yrs with an entry level deal if your scouting is even just average

We just need toys that are not broken...and obsolete

Ayers hopefully gets swapped for Woods...far greater net gain than an oline i think And you are right...we need to develop...and sign...stop letting guys walk cause we cheap and insist paying premium on old declining vets instead of young guys with yrs ahead of them...poor longterm roster management here...zero forward thinking...lotsa looking in rear view tho

Zc has really been outplayed in last 3...and even the 2 wins...wasn't from him shooting the lights out...both those were total team wins and riding a solid AF defence and a killer ground game.

We don't need 3 imp oline guys...u need to get off that train...that just limits us a skill position guy on offence or a key guy on defence....the 3 import olineman thing benefit doesn't really outweigh anything...gotta let Wallace grow and get used to things...he already is better than what he was first part of season We need to swap out the center if anything

We have some hope then...

That one at the shins...looking back to the q.b.....that's on ZC ...that's a tough catch to make at best of times for elite guys

Yup...everything he has done is the right call...do it again...he just can't admit failure or he screewdd up...same with roster...if it isnt injury dictated he won't change a thing as it shows he screwed up in player choice The Bridges release was an utter shock...almost think it was Walter's maybe who said enough is enough...cause there is still a few guys who if not cut or PR'd shouldn't be playing....at the least starting or getting premium reps

Yeah...but look at Strevs stats too...Rourke had more polish and pre season success too..means diddly in NFL politics meat grinder Also...non drafted...Canadian...cis school...he has the triple death card ...he may languish around a PR or 2 if he so chooses...but the nfl meat grinder will spit him out if not thos yr...next If he wants to actually play...make real nice money and be a big fish in a small pond he knows where to go Take it for what it is but I hear he likely gonna be cut...and prob no PR spot offered....doubt immediately any other team grabs him for PR...if at all Hopefully he has the sense to say i tried...time to go back on a new deal in 120-130k range to finish out the yr prorated and then look for a 2..3 yr deal next yr if he tears it up again

I for one never said you shouldn't pay premium for Lawler or a guy like him Ford...never...especially when u can get as good or better play from an entry level American for 1/3rd the price...or even significantly cheaper on a 2nd and 3rd contract guy Plus...your backup if u need a Canadian there is way inferior too

Man blm throwing worse ducks than ZC

Career loser...never has brought a team to a cup win with playing well in season...and won't this yr

4 words Trevor Harris...Corey Mace Nuff said

42 led with his head and caught blm in mask...should be rtp And man that fake noise isnt too obvious or anything

Pro coaching and also shotgun to Big Stan will help him along immensely...too bad he has to play handicapped with a brutal center Hes also just figuring out his best body composition too...which once he where he needs to be will help him thrive...has all the tools and once he gets his technical stuff refined for pass blocking dude gonna be a regular all star...we better pay up this time

100 percent

Not frigging sold out...LD probably isnt even yet

hence the less depth and talent part Add in an OC who pales in comparison to Buck in a huge way....we just handicapping ourselfs even more

if you can say one thing about the Faj....he's a tuff s.o.b who keeps coming back for more...You gotta like that aspect about him And over the last 3 yrs he has actually evolved and improved quite a bit...as long as you can limit his yapping to the camera in interviews you can almost stomach him

and Wallace just needs to be kept in his spot to get valuable reps and grow...we fine there... and have some future pieces tho we need to either draft a legit starter potential guys as a rookie or actually dip into FA and make a meaningful signing

I not overly concerned with the defense...injuries and all...we have pieces to be successful and it's a matter more of how we use them, and some we shouldn't use.....A couple more small yweeks and allowing a few guys to grow as they go and we should be alright...scheme at times is still a bit questionable but we have the athletes for the most part to be real good Offense.....yikes.....Oline isnt the issue many make it out to be...we just need to stick with the same 5 guys......and try a different center if not for anything to show we are actually trying to be better OC is an issue.....and when you don't have really any offensive weapons that scare anyone...and a running back who is definitely not 100 percent, your in for some tough sledding...why we haven't been bringing in legit wr guys constantly thru this first 8 weeks is a bit concerning....big bodied types....burners...and ones also who have return skills too For a yr we have chance to play in the Cup in our own back yard, the way we have gone about everything since January is disappointing to say the least...and sadly, not shocking

last I looked ZC has thrown more picks than TD's as well....and if not for that one big game last yr would have in 2024....he ended up at 17-15 Streveler isnt at 100 percent so hard to judge him based on that as well as the mess the whole offence is right now....Sort of can say same with ZC but he has also been trending don since 2023 too, and really in all our playoff games since 2019....he really hasn't been the key cog as to why we won...has been average at very best right thru the 5 yrs, and can easily be said he was a significant reason for the losses tho But I do chalk a lot of that up to piss poor rostering....coaching....and in-game decisions more than anything....so it's not all on ZC but his decline is real and thinking otherwise (hello Osh and some fans) is just sticking head in the sand Is Strev the answer?...who knows....is ZC...who knows....but he isnt the future thats for sure....if anything we need to design a system to fit what we have, and in some ways what we dont have and also give Strev lots of use...try and develop some things suited to him and actually do some coaching, cause we gonna need him in some capacity this yr for sure, and looking at the QB landscape next yr is slim pickens for a savior...nobody is gonna trade us their starter...no rookie is gonna come in and be a bonafide starter, and salivating about some rando backup elsewhere who cant start where he is, isn't the best avenue either. So we likely need him next too....so start the actual process of putting in the work with him now We know it's gonna be ZC here as we tied our wagon to him already, Strev deserves to be back totally healed from surgery to fight it out and hopefully both have actual legit weapons to work with, and a mind leading them to create something

Playing upwards of 9 guys all 10 yards off the l.o.s just invites him to run and et up yards, and in a game where a lot of guys were having issues tackling....is a bad plan
