Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Booch replied to Atomic's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yeah...A 6'7 350 pound Canadian tackle who runs a sub 5 forty...one who and NFL team traded up for in the NFL draft...I'd take a flyer He was raw at first down there last yr and had improved alot...but still may be seen as a project and long shot so could be cut...be a stud here tho...if he ends up here we are laughing...guy will dominate -
3 turds plus cranky honker don’t say roster management edition
Booch replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
And the HC has input...and also signs off on a lot of the scheme and playbook...game plan...basically sets his roster...sure he gets input but it's his final.decision and yes from experience will dictate who he wants to see reps...he in constant convo with coords during game...hence the headset..it's not just for spotter to tell him to throw a flag...and this is from experience...not an opinion or assumption He's the headcoach and good and bad...yes it lands on him Also again...from experience he can and does have say in plays and personel to run it...and again...thays experience talking...not opinion. And the HC will override a lot...or suggest a specific set or formation for particular down and distance.. and who he wants...and the Cordinators do best to facilitate it...based on what they provided for players...and in a lot of critical plays...situation it's the HC making the decisions...hence head coach....no offence here but I think you are a little mislead or unsure of how things actually take place. He definitely needs to start coaching and getting involved and discard the self governing...and in some regards his involvement needs to be changed... -

Yeah he in tough...not sure he will get PR'd elsewhere...or wait it out a bit...or just come up to get some playtime here He'd be a huge addition none the less...and could anchor a tackle spot for yrs ..well if we pay him after rookie deal -
Nope...takes a while to play off each other and know each guys tendencies...when it's constant switching up..prob at times you react to who used to be there and they not...its nice to have depth and guys that can play multiple spots...but maybe when needed for injury...or the odd diff look...but you can still do that anyway with same personel

And a coach with no answer...he will say guys will look at film...see what they did wrong and correct it Fails to see or realize/think it may also be an ability issue...or teams onto what we doing...what worked 2 yrs ago...heck sometimes even 2 games ago doesn't work the following week -
Part our issues too i think is the constant rotating of guys...kills cohesive aspect never mind getting guys in a groove....and no wonder we seem to have a lot of communication lapses...even if guys know the position...its not the same with instinctive movement and reacting without thinking...my opinion big issue
-
Yup...uphill battle...I think ZC needs to be on a short leash and Strev worked with and see if can develop...tailor the offence more to him... Done right he can I sure be more than serviceable...plus he is leas than 12 months post op....once he really back to form...maybe by late season...definitely next yr....you will see more of his old style and movement back People Can't fault the guy or be too critical of him now...hes just back from surgery...and gets tossed into game in an offence not geared to him...with sub par group of playmaker...U seen the potential first game and the offence kinda geared to him...quicker pace...ball out fast...and without BO as well...I bet if we were to have continued with that he would look even more polished...Can't write him off by any means currently....ZC tho...I dunno...he may be another good whallop when he gets back to out for yr...and it will obviously be in his head now...we already seen it when he got rattled against the Elks...jittery...panicking almost immediately..all the int's started...gonna get worse now...if he out a few games and we see progress in Strev..and tailor scheme...and personel more to him...and he getting wins...I'd roll with that until he shows its time not to in all honesty... Yes...him....payback was a biatch for that poor sap....we need more guys like that
-
Yeah all good...I figured as much
-
should have added talent....starter talent I dont think he is a big voice toward his own players tho....and rarely if ever seen Kramdi send a message withing the rules....some cheap shots tho When that B.C player head shotted ..I think Woli??....Sheed kept it in his mind and buried him later....ending his season.....he also had some message sending blocks within the box too in bhis time here
-
No clue really
-
Much like on offence...no firey leader who plays with urgency and passion...save for BO Kicking Sheed to the curb and not replacing his passion...voice...lead by example attitude has hurt us I've said before we value at times some the wrong attributes in players We need guys with edge and play on edge and at times can be right jackalopes...not saying Sheed was dirty...but if he saw an instance of teams taking liberties on us...he'd send a message with a play within constraints of the rules....and would also get up in his own guys faces...cause he cared and had passion We are littered with too many mild mannered oh shucks guys...not angry and hate to lose...complacent pusssies really That previous game with the embarrassing loss...all the happy faces...smiles...looking like they just won was sickening and wouldn't have flown in my time...angered me to no end...Osh included...starts from the top...there would have been some vets and guys with brass balls lambasting their teammates...and a coach who would have parked guys on bench...PR or at the Greyhound...and likely you'd see a shift in how they handled business moving forward...not here tho...not for last 2...3 yrs..if ever

Much the same as many can pull it off or on without unbuckling it...or it's not properly fit for "comfort" reasons

Penn was a big loss...probably preventable too -
They also turned over their entire roster on defensive side of ball...not afraid to make change/move on with best options....Osh hasn't figured that out yet...and truly I not sure he can/will...or can identify the best options Maybe not lost room...but message doesn't translate anymore...nor is it relevant...coaches get stale and outdated...and only evolve so much...and if cant/won't adapt...well you get what we seeing.. and it started 2..3 yrs ago already...red flags and warning signs were there already ...but was glossed over and ignored with the "yeah buts"
-
at least he is smart about it....kudos to him....and willing to play the best option available
-
Our biggest issue I dont think is G.M....Other than he isn't being the firm Boss he should be and allows his HC to dictate too much....speculating here a bit but from what I see....know....and have been through thats my take in it. There def a disconnect there and a differing opionion on the type of player....or qualities in a player that is being kept/re-upped and leaned on....also everyone being buddy buddy too doesn't help...as it clouds decision making and not wanting to hurt feelings....players included...and thats a bad metric and has us where we at now Also Osh need to actually coach...be in the room....rattle cages for a lack of a better word....he allows too much self governing and has caused this malaise and comfort level that also is a bad thing and nobody has a worry in the world...only ones with worries are the youmg/newer guys who cant wait to get out of their contracts and move on

kinda what I thought too....doesnt realy inspire much -
maybe he takes osh??...lol
-
Vpool was shaky at best Person got 4 snaps....so no chance to show anything never moind get into any kind of game groove pretty much...Our coaching tho sucked the most tho...inexcusable after a bye...and playing the same team again who basically changed....nothing...and we still got schooled by them

prob look at him...an then say see ya camp 2026 I figured he may be done awhile...of not all yr.... And is the best we could scrounge up?....no wow factor there and cant see him exceling in the slot.... -
they had a couple dline guys get knicked...on Laing a Canadian...we should do Jake a solid and let him play closer to home and bundle him and someone up for anything...even a mid round pick...If he is as good as we nhink here a team would jump at that and his pail of glue??...No? well...a guy who can playand make plays....hardly complaining...we dumped him for what??...Nothing?.. we inloaded 2 of our 3 ends and replaced 1 ....and yeah...we dumped Fox why?...cause we had Jake and Korn??,,,we didnt need to go national DT...One for rotation would be fine there was a flag thrown actually....just not by him....but he had backside view of hit so prob hard to see crown hit chin.....right call got made none the less tho which is good

Just an utter waste of the use of our DA's....and dline roster in general....Ayers reps as a DE is pointless...and soley on short yardage basically Jones and Kramdi's lunches are getting eaten....neither can play in space.....bit we just kep hammering away at that Lawson finally caught up to Thomas's reps but of his 167 to date...thats about 167 too many....Kornalson as well shown zip....Put Schmeck back in and see what the difference is and if theuy both show nothing....get em off the roster...we dont need 2 redundant Canadian DT's who offer next to nothing and find one who does...or put a Canadian skilled position player....but thats a stretch too unless Kelly is ready...and even then I'd swap Kelly for Novack and Bailey for one of Korn/Thomas....Ideally both and get Cobb on roster Kelly has been one our best ST guys and can actually rep on defence...Noval can't...and would not be missed on teams....Cobb has experience as a receiver and returner and would offer as much as either Case or Sterns so may as well et him and allow us to get J.Jones on roster...Ideally we sit T.Jones a few games and thatgets us Woods on too when he ready.....and all the while we are bringing in Dline and Receiver guys to find either legit depth...or guys that can make who have now depth...win win Standing pat and "checking the tape" is just code for we good....we have no clue...or we just plain stupid
