50/50 if MOS stays or goes. 
Either way, I think Costanza in any capacity (preferably OC) would be a great hire. He’s had nothing but success wherever he’s been. 
Jackson HC, Costanza OC could be interesting. 

I would assume MOS would take Younger with him if he goes to TO. 

Not if we promote Younger to head coach.

That particular call is one of the best examples of why "the call on the field" should count for zilch when it comes to replay.  There's not a single ref on the field in position to make a call on that play in that spot on the field through the bodies.

I have a really hard time definitively going either way on it.  In the next frame from that freezed shot his lower arm is under the ball.  Seems like it's basically in his control.  But it is moving.

Watching live I thought the DB was punching that out and now way he was catching it.

No replay showed that clearly enough though. 

I did think it was funny that one of the Sask olineman did the no catch hand signal for a second before the refs ruled TD.

Yeah the replays tsn had made me think it was a good catch. Nothing super clear but nothing that made.me think they got the call wrong. 

 

Still comes down to offense and defense for BC had.ample opportunities to win that game and failed to do so. 

Yup. If they had got one first down they win.

It's obvious that he isn't healthy.

Other than him grabbing his hammy one time, did he look injured? I didn't even notice.

Agree with the first bit. 

I didn’t read the article i’ll have to check it out. I’ll say though that it’s on pinball to make the primary changes. 

Mos would be involved, but i’m not sure he would face much more change there than we need. Hed keep his buddies on the staff like eiben, try to poach a couple of our guys and others, and re tool via free agency. 

 

"I’ll admit I thought first about O’Shea when the Dinwiddie news broke, but the more I thought about it the less I thought it was a good fit. Given the small-world nature of the CFL, the Argos are certainly going to inquire and should know his interest soon. I don’t see O’Shea in Toronto being a good fit for several reasons, the biggest being O’Shea doesn’t seem to do well with change. There are too many variables for him to manage with a new organization, even if he is familiar with the team. O’Shea finally got the Bombers to the top of the three-down mountain after some lean years. Winnipeg’s ascension, however, coincided with the arrival of quarterback Zach Collaros — a trade O’Shea didn’t approve before it was made. I’m not sure O’Shea would be able to do the same for the Argos, mainly because they don’t share his strong desire for continuity, constantly overhauling the roster each year. I couldn’t think of anything more anti-O’Shea, and I don’t see the Argos ownership caring about a culture change."

I'm not 100% opposed to OSH returning if he can show that he can make changes needed. 

If he can't recognize that Hogan was a mistake and wants to keep continuity there, then I think OSH should be shown the door. 

Hamilton's column in the Freep today talked about why he didn't think OSH would go to Toronto. Basically saying that OSH wouldn't want to be in an environment where he had to make lots of changes and couldn't keep with continuity. Good description of OSH but also good reasons why we need to move on here. 

Dinwiddie is a hell of a coach. As a GM, who knows? The talent pipeline coming in to Ott isn't anywhere near what it was in TO.  How he does will depend a lot on which of the scouting team comes with him.

That is possible, I don't think the term was ever announced. 

To me it would be weird if any of the coordinators had contracts longer than the head coach but what do I know

How many Cos have the mafia canned? Hall stepped into a lower role for JY. Lapo left for a HC gig. Bellefeuille had his contract expire. Paul Boudreau had his deal expire with no extension offered. That one was more public, we aren't bringing you back. Then we canned Gary Etcheverry between seasons while under contract. 

 Wow, that is depressing. Hogan is every bit as bad as Etch was here. He 100% deserves the axe. Boy, I can not fathom trying to run it back with Hogan... 

Hogan contract could very well be expiring and that's the end of that.

I hope I am wrong on both counts, but it looks like O'Shea will be back and he apparently wants Hogan back. FOURLETTERWORD!

Curious what you're basing him wanting Hogan back on

Just now, TBURGESS said:

I'm hoping for Montreal/BC. They look like the two best clubs over the last month. 

Not to mention the two best young QBs in the league going head to head.

There is no universe in which Hogan should be brought back as offensive coordinator. He was an unmitigated failure and the offense outside of 1 game was abysmal.

Yup. I would expect that he was on a one year deal to match what was left of OSHs. Hopefully that makes it more likely we just say thanks but he's not welcome back.

Non factor on that decision (Canadian vs American) IMO.  You need someone to be an impact player in the first two levels of D and WIL is an easy spot to put that kind of player that is maybe a bit less refined in a normal D but just pure motor.  No way we should be paying guys in their 30's who are just plugs and doing nothing exceptional.  

Yup. No impact players on the DL or LB other than the occasional Willie knockdown and a few flashes from Woodbey. 

No reason for Kyrie to be brought back.

Knowing Griffin is ready...arguably one of our better defenders and most versatile 2 yrs running and can play sam..hb..cb...safety..how hes not on for Lawson Jr is a joke...and before anyone says maybe hes not 100 percent healthy...well when has that stopped Stupid from rostering a guy before....I can think of 6...7 instances...plus fact tomorrow Demski is a GTD and hasn't practiced in weeks...but Griffin has been...just the fact he is an uncertainty now tells you...he not really ready...but why rest him an extra week so if we advance could make a diff in EF...

I don't understand it at all. All indications were that Griffin was a guy they loved too.

So wtf happens if Brady gets dinged or Demski can't make it work?!?

I assume if Demski can't go, they add Peterson back on. 

Chris-Ike would be the back up plan for Brady. 

Razor thin depth on O if you can even call it depth

Demski GTD

No backup RB dressed (MCI backs up I guess?)

Corcoran starting over Clercius 

KMB stays on at DE but Person is out

Woods on the roster but not starting

Dexter Lawson backing up at SAM 

Wilson Sterns Wheatfall Demski/Cobb Corcoran starting receivers

Brutal that neither of the american DEs that looked great last week get a chance. 

Don't know why we need Ayers and Lawson on the roster at all as back ups really. 

43 minutes ago, rebusrankin said:

I'm with Booch, go Wilson/Clercius/Wheatfall/Sterns/Echols at WR and declare two nationals on D. Lawson/Kramdi/Smith/Thomas et all can cover things. I do bet we either play a hobbled Demski or go Corcoran/Cobb as the 2nd starter.

I agree would be great if we can. Issue isn’t the number of starters but getting another American on the roster. Don’t know about it at the expense of the dline. Griffin might be health too, would be nice to get him back on D

Riders got hosed by the early whistle from the refs there. 
 

Last time we had to go to Calgary and then Sask in the playoffs it worked out ok.

The question has to be asked why haven't any of these D lineman be able to get into any of the regular season games before today

I hear you but it’s not like they been sitting on the PR all season. They were pretty recent adds 

Like the look of the D actually.  Hope the young DEs show well and we can see Shay and Smith get some reps. 

Resting who they did makes sense for the most part. Either young guy who is our only hope to win in the playoffs (Vaval, BO, Pokey) or old guys that could use a rest (Zach, Bryant, Willie and Vaughters). 

I do wonder if they aren't happy with Person's play and are auditioning the other young DEs.

The Stamps starting cleaning house almost immediately after the season their was over (Killam, Monson & Simpsons were turfed less than a week after their last game) because they were willing to make necessary changes - I don't see MOS being willing to do the same but we'll see.  

Got to keep in mind which season you're talking about. They were 5-12-1 last year and 6-12 the year before.  Of course they were willing to make changes, only way Dave could keep his job after two terrible seasons.

MOS showing his displeasure with him, JJ very animated in trying to coach him up while showing him plays on his playcard, Wilson trying to get Mitchell more engaged on the sidelines as Mitchell would drift off and stand alone while the D was on.

Interesting, thanks.

Based on what I saw on the sidelines last week against the Elks, it makes sense seeing Mitchell come off. On the one hand I'm really surprised he hasn't been released but on the other hand not surprised because we have limited depth at that position.

what did you see?

Don't think I saw this on here yet. DL and OL added to practice roster.
