From what I could see, much of O'Shea's success was in the talent Walters handed to him, but in the last 2-3 years, it seems that Walters backed off and O'Shea had near-total control and the team suffered for it. We don't show who we really are when things are going well- we show our real identities when things around us are really struggling.

This is what concerns me about all the new bodies coming in. I think that if these have been forced onto O'Shea, he will go onto passive- aggressive mode and and put them out in situations where they will have little chance of showing well. Then he can smirk and go into "ahtodeso" routine.

My initial thoughts after seeing that they cut McGhee was positive. Not that he’s a bad player necessarily, but I don’t see him being that guy that’s going to be a difference maker at the position. We brought in a lot of talent in the secondary and I’d rather give the reps to the young talent on this roster. In years past we would have pencilled him in as a starter because he was a vet. it would be painfully obvious he was a weak spot and he would be cut by week 3-4 im glad, wouldn’t mind them moving on from a few more vets if im being honest with you.
Are you new here? There’s been countless examples of O’Shea sticking with a vet instead of giving a rookie a chance to compete for a position. I want the best players period, you use Allen as an example but he’s a prime example of a guy who has a great camp and it took countless injuries for him to get on the field when he should have been there much earlier. Do you really think Myron Mitchell was the best receiver we could have put on the field last year to start the season?

That would be insane if they did it again in a stadium this size. I've got 1 game in June vs Edm, 2 back to back at the end of July, and Banjo Bowl... So far. Looking into using my remaining vacation days for the fiscal year on an August trip home for another game ... Better hustle on the tix i suppose.

Correct - he's on the 6 game as of today.

Wasn't his leg...

This is what I remember:

I don't want a player in TC that doesn't believe he can win the starting job. All Nuer did was say out loud what every single guy on our roster secretly thinks. Being a high level football player REQUIRES confidence in yourself.

I know some people get ruffled feathers over this. But the vast majority of guys who come to the CFL, especially when they're young feel this way. The CFL isn't the goal.

My all time favorite playoff defense was our 1990 team with Greg Battle, James West, Tyrone Jones and Albert Williams at LB. Tracy Ham and the Edmonton offense didn't want to leave the sidelines. Beautiful to watch.

I could see playing a guy who is "cold" and who has shown flashes of brilliance and trying to let the guy dig himself out of a rut. What annoys me is playing a guy who at best is a "C" level player and who is doing absolutely zilch on the field and refusing to give the next man up a legit chance to shine. O'Shea likes to give the next man up a "chance" on the last drive of the game when we are taking a knee or losing a game that is completely out of reach where the opposition is just dicking around.

He was a game manager when his arm was shot in his last few years with the club. Purely because he was unable to throw a 15+ yard pass. His first two years with us he was a gunslinger and was able to take chances. Truly unfortunate that his injuries derailed him.

O'Shea's favouritism is not restricted to homegrown players. we have recently has several imports who clearly didn't belong here but were kept around- a certain Marine being one of them.

I can't speak for these other guys, but strippers do love me. If these guys can't buy a stripper's love then they need to rethink their banking strategy when going to the peelers.
