We can agree that O'Shea is a good coach, but he is far from perfect and has his biases and blind spots. Every coach, player and GM have limited shelf lives and I an starting to wonder if O'Shea is approaching the Dave Ritchie zone in falling in love with certain (usually veteran) players. I too am baffled by why we do not have DLs on our practice roster and am not sure who is responsible for that. Bringing in Lemon for a look-see is a very low-risk move.
To flail at a deceased equine, having Lawler back is nice, but if our O-line doesn't up their game substantially, Collaros will not have enough time to execute and (shudder) could easily get racked up. I have heard nothing as to why Eli and Dobson are not in there. Last game, it was painful to watch Neufeld get beaten repeatedly, maybe it was Kolankowski who was out of sync or out of his depth. I am not a coach or former player, but if we can see these obvious problems, why in the name of Bud Grant is the coaching staff so apparently oblivious?
I have some real concerns about tonight's game. The Ungulates are a pathetic bunch but even a blind squirrel will find the occasional acorn. Should the Bombers lose tonight, it will be a game that will live in infamy (to borrow a phrase).
