Yeah...can't live in past...no reason for his return especially if you have youth...or if someone in FA comes available T.Jones too...misleading stats...not outstanding in any aspect...but a great DA to augment the game day roster...no way shape or form should he be pencilled in as a returnerning starter...and only way he won't be is if Osh is removed...history and track record tells us so And it started with the lowballing of Jeffcoat...and refusal to pay Sayles and Stove and Kongbo...but keep slop like Thomas..Schmeck...Korn... We have never recovered...same can be said with center...we coulda retained Couture...or signed a FA center if for anything to compete...or tried Eli..who has never got a real opportunity...but chose to roll with an undersized..under skilled scrap heap guy nobody wanted for 2 yrs on the street cause Osh liked whatever it is about him...and its not talent

AND lines are built from inside and out...and we were/are worst in the league at center and DT.....and who do we play there...JT and the Matador Kolo You set the inside...anchor a Tackle and an End....you thrive I had no issue with Big Stan...a solid center....and guard who doesn't have to compensate....and Bryant is just...Bryant and Really I'd have no issue if he comes back and we stop the rigidity of our ratio. With who we have currently, Give me a Bryant..Vpool..Eli...Wallace...Randolph and Neuf as 6th and we are light yrs better than what we witnessed all yr Only reason why I have Neuf behind Wallace is because the young buck needs to play to get even better...and Neuf can play allalong the line save for LT if need be Same with defence.....get 2 actual inside guys to work with Lawson....2 young ends to take major reps....with another to rotate on and yes have WJ playing varied spots on the line and just told to get after the QB and be responsible in that role....we'd be just fine....it's not rocket science This idea of WJ to play knockdown and be flat footed all the time...constant Jake and Korn when he was on roster doing nothing....no rotational end whatsoever an then on top dressing 2 DA's who served no use on defence more times than not was just suicide....We have 2 Canadians in Shay and Smith who excel on teams and could easily take consistent reps on defense and probably become really good to allow you to dress an extra American for the dline....Plus use Bailey as another guy who plays teams, can play on defense and lso works to your benefit ratio wise...The use all yr of the other Global who had no use at all again was a wtf you doing decision....

you can bust your ass all you want but when it amounts to nothing...who cares...I could go out and bust my ass too (I'd prob be more successful too than him truth be told) but you dont see me on any roster no more Jake's prence just takes another player off the roster who could make an impact....and then makes the job of his dline mates tougher as they can be schemed against more....football is a game where one putz can affect the whole system....and when you have multiple on both sides of the ball...well......

Basically football 101 And dont hire from within in the old boys country club stand pat and be complacent thinking things will just work out again mode....actually put the work in and coach....plan....look forward and project...there's an idea...again....football 101

biggest blunder for sure....why do people think ZC looked good and other receiver's had impacts....cause they had space and more often than not 2 db's and at times the safety cheating over taken out of the mix watching Lawler on any given play If paying Lawler meant dumping a Thomas and or Kramdi...Or a Kolo...so be it...all 3 of those guys if not on the roster actually would have made us better as a team on top of it...and at a lesser cost...rippling down to maybe keeping another guy we lost....

and Kolo...some just embarrassingly bad plays from both....Eli looked just fine stepping in out of position for Neuf....Time for him to be the center now... I've said several times there was a reason and connection as to why it seemed like we missed out on some guys in FA that would have kept this train chugging along...many here tried to deny it....but it is real nope....not way to build....but perfect way to retool and augment and keep your arse on the top of the hill.....if there is a legit player there for taking and you dont cause you prefer your own garbage in certain spots because that how you do your ratio...or your love/loyalty to a vet who is on downside, as opposed to upside....well then you deserve to, and will fail...we seen it here first hand

why.....Dumb and even dumber were nobody...nothing's...unknows too when they started....and it showed in first 2.5 yrs with Dumber until he got his feet held to the fire and "had" to make some changes to save his smug face Internal would be the dumbest thing...we seen how that panned out with OC guy...we need new vison/idea's...philosophy...the foundation and way we do things here organizationally is set and solid....but we need a new driver Everything built here wont fly out the door by canning the HC....and as the HC claims...he rarely knows the pulse of the room...the vets keep it in working order....that being said...perhaps he should be more hands on and coach and be part of the pulse....and actually coach and be the disciplinarian when need be....

Bailey got a few clean shots too after the throw....and then we went to the ESF and played the let him stand around with not a worry in the world scheme and pick us apart for 500+ net yards

not sure what his options are or would be.... yeah....I'd rather trade a flier guy than A QB who will most definately will be here....and it would be just like us to dump a QB who turned out to be the next legit one We need to can OC guy ASAP tho as no FA in right mind will wannna play under that dolt yeah....just shook my head on one route scheme saturdy....Pokey and I cant recall who but ran crossers....same level from opposite sides of the field and almost ran right into each other....hows a QB to pick up the free guy in tht mess...like wtf....was wen we were goinf left to right on TV screen...will have to rewatch but havnt had the stomach to yet

ZC is out to lunch on keeping core together.....but also depends on who the "core" is tho BO....Peterson...Pokey....MCI....Clercius....Demski...Eli...Wallace...Randolph...Vpool...Those should be considered core guys for offence....and not all necessarily pencilled in as defacto starters....some could be that actual legit depth if we can obtain better Demski needs to be 2A/2B in that group of receivers, Pokey can be the legit #1 but we need another legit top end guy to run shotgun with him....If we can't swing a trade, or sign a legit free agent QB1 if there is even one available then ZC can be back....but big "of" attached to that....If we actually can Hogan and get a legit OC....Have a legit group of weapons so ZC doesn't have to zero in on one guy and force things, and rely on heave and hope. The biggest if is he needs to be head and shoulders better than any QB in camp, and since we tied to him anyway if it is as a mentor Backup QB and solid back-up then so be it...and if he not happy with that then cut him free....as not sure what his "options" are and thats not a good attitude you want on a team trying to right the ship instead of a total teardown...and just reeks of the gifted country club atmosphere here we need to evaporate immediately There will be more than ample legit free agent targets this yr....so open up the wallaett....be open minded to what you can do with ratio and grab the best available...pretty simple....we dont need to roll out how we deploy ratio as we have for the last 5 yrs...as it's basically took us out of the running for a lot of talent we could have had, and just encouraged us toi keep a lot of out garbage too many yrs well past their usefulness I'm fine with WJ coming back...but as that vet glue...accessorily...reputation....Mentor...whatever you need to call it guy role and really he wasnt as bad as many like to think and my thoughts it's more of scheme and what they asked of him, as opposed to eroded talent...and if you are asked to hang around the line...and act like a volleyball player at the net then yeah at times you gonna look like loafing and just pointless out there....But we need young...active....complimentary ends eating up 60...70 percent of snaps and you rotate WJ in and just turn him loose Other core on defense..Ayers..Woodbey..Lawson...Woods...Smith...Shay...Nichols...Griffin.....Bailey...Allen (The 3 young ends...Jenkins/Person/Jaworski and let the best 1...or 2 make it out of camp if we dont find a FA end to be the lynchpin) after that we need some revamping....And again if we cant scout our own guys...there will be many available....and like with offence...Rigitity of ratio as well on defensive side of the ball is just a handcuff Kramdi for what he offers...and costs...is just not good enough and isn't helping things...Holm sure he got the MODP award here...not sure how but he is soft and flawed too....in a different role sure maybe he core...and would still love to see him as a "centerfield" type safety and become a picking machine Parker...Lawson JR....an the rest of the smurf clan can kick rocks....time to loose this love of theses apparent "athletic" lil waifs and roster some playmaker guys who can win battles with the 5'11" and taller receivers...we see too much bullying and lack of physicality in our backfield allowing drives to continue....we have the least physical/intimidating group in league Most importantly....our best course of action is to move on from Osh.....keep the rest intact as I am certain he isnt changing his ways...or even knows how too...an if we see no improving next yr....move on from G.M I didnt watch or listen to any of the post game drivel he may have said so not sure what his "take" was....but whatever it was I an sure was a load of crap as per usual I wanted a win...expected a loss....and stated before playoffs reason why, and that coaching ...decisions related to coaching and rostering would be our demise "of" we got to playoffs....and well wasnt far off the mark We came out uninspired...poorly prepped....out schemed right outta the gate and had an inferior roster as to what we could have had....sure we had a little spurt in the 3rd....but did anyone really think we would maintain it and hold that lead?...I didnt as much as I hoped we could have And biggest thing....no feet dragging this off-sesson...as soon as the Cup is handed off to the winning team captain it should be announced this coach is fired....that this coach is not being asked back...and player X...Y....Z....Heck...throw in A...D..M...P as well is not part of 2026

And no fear of being sat/benched if u a mainstay or coaches fav...doesn't help matters

Sure the D at times has given up not huge points...but also can't get teams off the field...and keeps our offence off...so net positive is minimal U need to kill drives...gets losses...sacks...pressure caused turnovers...and we dont

Again..the appearance of another poorly prepared...woefully uninspired and already outschemed squad..and that's before halftime adjustments Clean the house Mr miller

Nobody said they want them to lose @Goalie but many are right about a lot...and again this roster...and lack of depth...youth....fire...is par for course with osh of late in playoffs...sucks to be right and complaining about it...isnt unwarranted by any stretch...

Nice to see the zero pressure package back in fine form...JT gobbling up every snap

Yup...and we did it with him i. 2023 cup Did osh smarten up...not likely.. its probably the pro in Demski and putting team first saying that he not comfortable or confident he can play

Cause they know what an idiot oshea is from previous playoffs... What i wanna know is what the thought process was to use Corcoran over Clercius...sure he know superstar but makes his plays...can offer a physical mismatch and presence...has had some big catches...did nothing to work himself off the starter spot Corcoran offers none of that...still makes rookie mistakes...is a mismatch really to nobody and is slow AF

If Osh actually doesn't play Demski..which he shouldn't be it will probably be the most intelligent and best decision he has made in his time here Too bad he mitigated it with the Corcorran/Cobb decisions re: ratio and his piss poor defensive front roster...

Woli almost left...was gonna before his 2nd deal but players talked him out of it Bolo scramned and was pissed after 2023 Grey cup when 3 recievers...Bailey.. demski and schoen couldn't even run and he stood on sideline all game and got no snaps..after game he said he was gone And there are others...and fact we pay guys who basically are not worthy over younger guys who could have serious potential so they have to leave cause its a "apparent money issue" is just a joke and excuse.. players talk..small community and many know in order to have real opportunities here..extended reps and ability to up yiur dollars with play and accumulated stats and film...if you don't fit a certain "criteria" or are battling with an Osh holdover/fave who is a lesser player as well...then this is not your best option...believe it if you will...or don't...you all have your own choice and opinion...but also...don't kid yourselves either Jeffcoat retired from being lowballed...and didnt wanna play elsewhere...he had good offers from sask and cgy...and said no Payed fairly...he would have been back Fox is not a fringe players in Hamilton...he had been real good...Garbutt wasn't either and looked good but git hurt and been out all yr

Believe what u want...but yes guys decided to leave here and it wasn't soley chasing the buck tho we did/do lowball some guys figuring we had this draw...which we dont really have now ...tho they did get paid where they went... If some slug flukes out and has a one off game...I'm not gonna accept an "i told u so" chatter...as its means jack I think that's our only real chance in playoffs...save for a BO...Pokey...WJ...any other whipping boy pulling off a one off game better not have that save their seat at the table next yr if we bring Osh back...as we all know he will

Yeah.....always enjoy game day regardless of the warts and all And for some reason....Is this the first time for a team to go thru the East on the crossover...to play in the Cup in their own back yard...a team thats been hemorrhaging crap and seems to be clueless at the coaching level and flawed to the core??....Kinda writes itself for the unexpected shock story It also set's up for an utter embarrassing loss that showed the backing into the play-offs was just lipstick on a pig and glossed over the blatantly apparent issues...with similar themes from previous 3 flops key in the floppage....and same fatal error's and allows us to clean the slate and install new blood at the top......which will we get???

Battle was better...could do more...but can't lose having either or in lineup To think..we had West..Battle...Randolph...Jones all in lineup at one time. Another underrated guy who was solid as hell was Aaron Brown

Hammies fickle...and the worst strain to mess with....and even the most minor of minor pulls take a month minimum to get you in a "safe" zone..the way he came up lame when it happened...was more than a slight minor tweek He not gonna be impact he needs to be tomorrow...prob lucky to be next week...we should put best lineup together in hopes of advancing to Grey cup and shoot him up and let er all hang out in that game...but we won't.. and we know the way this will play out I'm shocked they aren't bracing up Strev and trotting him out there too truth be told

See we can agree...lobo...Jones didnt hurt us per say...but wasn't a difference maker Prime Biggies are rare...but prime Battles even rarer...he did it all...and better

As was most depth charts we faced Nope...not anymore.. Played him in 2023 as well when he couldn't run...with 4 others that yr...garuanteed he will again. Only way he won't play if Demski himself says its not the best for team Osh doesn't have the mental capacity for those types of games...thats just his poor traits showing...nothing more...nothing less
