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.

Unfortunately, so do the 2025-26 Jets.

Hope is not an actionable strategy.

When you think of it, a detour is a route you take when your first choice is blocked and still gets you to your destination.

Will re-send anf hope to not screw it up. Am a painfully slow hunt-and-peck typiest, so it will take a bit.

I tried to send you a dm and may have screwed up sending it. Pls let me know if it came through.

This kinda started out as an erotic description.

Not that I am aware of, but I'm betting that one of O'Shea's pets will replace him and be an identical liability. If you don't know it, how can you teach it?

I was addressing his trending and it is inevitably downwards, and he has played hurt a lot and thus not as effective for the past couple of years.

What in O'Shea's history would lead anyone to beieve that Tui is going to get a legit shot at replacing turnstile Kolankowski?

I mostly agree but aging and repeated injuries have created a circumstance where absolutely everything has to be just so for Collaros to be effective, and I remain unconvinced that this is going to happen in 2026.

I love Demski's work ethic and fearlessness, but his pattern is of increasingly injury-prone and longer healing times. I fervently hope Walters & Co. find a replacement and soon.

Have we really moved on from Thomas, though? His so-called pass rush was pure and repeated bull rush. If that failed, he was useless as he had nothing else. That said, how can he teach techniques he never had? I see this as O'Shea giving the finger to his critics.
