That makes sense that Emelius is the highest paid, more production than Philpott, similar production to Demski but younger. What I think reading that is we got a deal with Demski.
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.

plus brought in some good prospects for camp, and we’ve moved on from thomas. big win in my books so far.
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.

Yeah, there's a few veterans getting long in the tooth which means they're expensive & don't contribute like they used to who should go.
How many of these underperforming pets of O'Shea return will determine the fate of the 2026 Bombers, O'Shea and Walters.

Leave it to Hervey to trade someone right over Xmas disrupting his family. Couldn't wait till after New Years.
Morgan was almost certainly home with his loved ones, so the disruption would be minimal, if at all.

Yes, we all make mistakes, but if someone repeats the same mistakes over a long period in defiance of negative consequences for self or others, it is a core personality facet and unlikely to change.

Player quality does not equate to coach quality. There is no correlation whatsoever. Quit trying to sell that as a reason to criticize this move. One has nothing to do with the other.
Cite one example in football (or any other sport) where a poor player went on to become a great coach.

As horrible as it is to even imagine this, I fear that it is not out of the range of possibilities.

He brought in the pieces to fix the issues. Mos didn't use them. Yes, he could've tried pushing Mos more. But he isn't the big boss either; that is Wade.
Walters talked about how every personnel discussion used to be a fight with Mos and how it's changed post Grey Cup wins.
It sure seems like the power structure from the top down does not go Wade to Walters, then to Mos.
At this point, the ultimate responsibility and failure to maintain the contender we had falls to Miller. We hemorrhaged front office types, coaches, as well as players. That doesn't all fall on Walters. We had the pieces to win 2 more Grey Cups.
You can't understand justifying a guy who was stuck in the middle, but still producing in Walters, but you can for Mos, who hasn't executed his job with any level of competence in years.
Guys like Vaval, Allen, and Woodbey aren't bare minimums across the league, nor are all the other additions you chose to omit.
Thanks for the clarification about the Walters-O'Shea relationship/power structure. If Walters is unable to replace his head coach that he is in overt conflict with and who has been serving his personal agenda ather than the wellfare of the team, that would exonerate Walters but places him in a very untenable position. I thought of Miller as a hard-nosed results-oriented person but from this report, that does not seem to be the case. That has to change or we will be repeating this discussion next year.

So in summary ZC's protection issues are the fault of Jake Thomas, I mean the fault of a combination of things including scheme, linemen lack of execution, ZC's happy feet and lessening ability to adapt to and/or escape pressure not to mention the fact of other teams superior DLine compared to ours.
Jake Thomas????

For f***** sake. 40 seconds in and they get scored on.
The season was lost in the off season. We made no major upgrades anywhere. They gambled with JT and it hasn't paid off. Nyquist isn't even playing now.
This team is in all sorts of problems.
Thr off-season changes looked hopeful on paper, apart from Fly leaving for a massive pay raise,but it hasn't turned out that way at all. I think Nyquist is in tonight.
No, he is not.

I understand the desire to shuffle, but I don’t understand those moves. Pearson on the 2nd? Vilardi on the 3rd? Namestnikov still on the 2nd? He is overvalued IMO.
At the very least, switch Pearson and Vilardi. Pearson is not a 2nd liner and Vilardi is not a checker.
I think Arniel is down to desperate measures. Everything he (and other coaches before him) has not worked and unless something improves and soon, the playoffs will disappear over the horizon.

When playing from behind BO loses touches. However, in the games where we got behind early part of it was because he didn't run well. Is he the best back in the CFL? Could be, but not by much and he's paid as if he is almost twice as good as everyone else. He isn't and that's the problem. This isn't about BO's ability, it's about whether he is worth his astronomical salary.
With the O-line he had, he was fortunate to get back to the line of scrimmage.

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.
