You are disclosing your age. These days its Sydney Sweeny who is hot.

He was better/adequate but not worth having him around over Castillo.

I would say there is a kernel of truth in this, but it would sound corny and I would be creamed in comments. But he is husk-y.

I am advocating that he has to earn the job, but his resume suggests that he ought to have the tools. I believe he had the most problem with speed rushes, which would be expected, given his age.

The O-line has been a shambles for the past 2-3 years and until there is both ability and continuity, assessing Eli is likely pointless.

Because O'Shea

NEVER give up. Aaron Rogers made a comeback (sort of) after all.

Eli might be the answer, but we will not know until he has had a few games at center and we need to bear in mind that all those games where he mostly warmed the bench did nothing to enhance his confidence or game experience.

Given the three-year downward spiral of the team, every player ought to be fighting to earn his spot. As has been repeaed, this has not been the case, and has produced the situation we find ourselves in. Since the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour, there is ample reason to doubt that O'Shea will change his spots and mandate competition.

I seem to recall that he is from the Hamilton area, so its a good fit for him if so.

Good goal- no guarantee of a win, but ya gotta start somewhere. Stanley increases his market value.

This is likely the Jets' best shot at winning a game in this home stand. Sad,

I do. A player who relies on intelligence rather than pure athleticism would be a good candiate to become a coach, and those Ex-CFL players who are head coaches were good (not necessarily great) are in place in Saskatchewan, BC, Calgary, Montreal and now Ottawa. There will always be the odd anomaly.

Whether or not Willie takes a big pay cut likely depends on what other options he has.

Those players who successfully transitioned into coaching were good at their positions, and Thomas was barely adequate when at his best and had no techique except bull-rushing. When that failed, he simply stood there and hoped the play would come to him. In the last couple of years, standing there was his go-to technique.

And Walby would pulp you into strawberry jam for suggesting he is a drunk if he learned of it.

That is a closely guarded secret. Keeps 'em guessing. And he needs to start throwing the words "crikey" and "billabong" into his jargon and mention how much he likes Helen Reddy.

Let the best player earn the position, but O'Shea's history and attitude would seem to make that unlikely. He will probably play nice and make a few token gestures to signal a change of attitude, but inevitably he will revert. This would likely mean he will set up non-pet players to fail and then fell justified that he knew best all along. Because he is not one of O'Shea's faves.

With Kolankowski gone and Thomas sorta gone, O'Shea will be dangerously low on pets, so Kramdi is golden.

That is a mom job requisite, and I would include pizza pies in that.

Kolankowski was a bad player and ought to have been gone long ago, but it is unnecessarily unkind to call him trash.

It's gonna be a LOT worse than that.

My apologies- the Jets need a helluva lot of improvement.
