You know i just read an article on the Carolina Hurricanes and Rod Brindamour and he has his 5-6 Vets that he has told..you lead the team. Lots of comparables to how MOS coaches imo.

Read the piece from Collaros exit interview. Really sounds like a number of guys might be gone. I thought for a moment that he might stay and coach but it does sound like he wants to be closer to his and his wife's parents so the kids can grow up knowing them better.

I love Collaros and as everyone here knows ,i back him and MOS 100% but based on his injuries and how little it takes for him to get hurt now, i think for his sake,for his long term health,it's time to hang em up. One of the best Qbs we have ever had,thank you for all that you have done for us.

Hey it's one game, all the pressure is on Montreal,THEY ARE EXPECTED TO WIN, we got nothing to lose,just win baby. 😊

this is exactly a game where you should/could install something new or a new variation of something....but standing pat and complacency here is the norm

You can also practice some fundamentals...hone your skills like catching..(jugs machines are a thing and no need for a QB to throw needlessly) ...do some non-contact tackling techniques to help our piss poor technique there on many guys....Use some 45 degree box drills....hammer in their minds where and when to accelerate...or break down their pursuit and close space....simple things that based on a lot of what we seen this yr we lack bigtime and obviously neglect...tag drills...etc

Our fundamentals in that aspect save for a dew guys really sucksass...There is all kinds of stuff that can be done that isnt gonna burn anyone out..and that all kinda factors into your last sentence "go out and execute on gameday"

Mental reps sure are fine...but actually walking it out on a field...confirming benchmarks....actually seeing it....all things that should be done and not neglected regardless of point in season...WE have a lazy staff and coddle too much....

My lifetime this is the time of year where you actually really put nose to it in lead up to a game in playoffs...or trying to get in...not here tho..

Well Booch,i am glad your not my coach cause i would be draggin my ass...imma too old! 😆😉

Finally put Bjorck on wing, hopefully that takes some pressure off him, never remember them ever rushing a player before. Honestly though what is Chevy waiting for?

I'm afraid this year the Chant will be Dupont! Getting Morrissey back will make a huge difference but after him we got alot of maybes and some definite no's. I think and hope Arniel is gone, Chevy no,Chipman thinks he is a genius so he sticks. Gonna be a lonnng winter unfortunately but clean house and maybe next year with Dupont we turn it around.

But you do see the arrow trending sharply down right? Like I'm an Optimist Prime, but even I can see that every year is worse than the year prior...

Yea of course but that happens,no team stays on top ...so we start over again,build it up again,this offseason we will see what direction they go in.

Ya everything in reading so far is that the Jets got hosed. Talking heads couldn't believe that Utah or Buffalo couldn't do better than what NJD gave up.

Yea unfortunately i agree, we didn't even get a no.1 in 2027, why did we get Daws? First trade i can honestly say Chevy lost especially compared to the Buffalo deal he refused in the offseason? Mercer ain't gonna move the needle, why not wait till the trading deadline??????

Oh oh..this is terrible news...we have had such a terrible decade! 🤣

Do i sense some doubt and negativity around here? Is it even possible? If they perform a miracle and win another Grey Cup does that make it worse for us? 😆

It's too bad that great players who play for Osh suffer this fate. They never leave with their legacies intact. Osh isn't Wally Buono or John Hufnagel who simply say it's time... And release the older veterans way past their prime & replace them with younger cheaper players. Buono cut Allen Pitts for crissakes in order to sign Travis Moore .

Yeah it's a double edged sword though ,loyalty to allow a player to retire when he thinks he is done and doing it at the right time, i mean Bryant was still playing at a high level last year..sometimes the drop off is fast. Is MOS too loyal to his vets? Yeah,but that's who he is and is one of the reasons his player's love him.

I am thinking might be time to switch Bjorck to wing,take some pressure off him,so much responsibility at Center.

It sounds crazy but i think we go after Chad Kelly in the offseason,actually i think every team but Montreal and BC will go after him....should be an interesting off season.

Definitely a Jeckyl and Hyde year but in my opinion there is really only one team that if we make the playoffs i think we would be hard pressed to beat and that is Montreal.The rest of the teams all have weaknesses,so i agree the odds are stacked big time against us..but not impossible,we have a lot of Vets that have been there,done that. We would be massive underdogs though..no doubt about it.

Stamps are a great team offensively. They've scored 600 points but a dreadful team defensively. Giving up almost as much as the RedBlacks.

We lose young players after their first deal is finished. We basically draft a player or a young free agent in his earlyn to mid 20's then lay the foundation for their career. Then away they go. We end up signig older free agents who cost more.

Yes but usually for much more money than what our GM think they are worth or they want to live closer to where they grew up...most players love to play for MOS.

Seriously i get it not a good year by any standards but how did some of you guys get through the Reinbold years or Mike kelly or add how many horrible coaches or years we have had????? **** watching Reinbold coach,when we won any game it was like we won the Grey Cup. 🤣

If Collaros is back im picking the Blue, with Dru i just don't know which Qb will show up, i expect the Blue to win this one.

Who said all 3? Osh is stale. The message is no longer getting thru. Do players still love playing for them? When free agents can't wait to leave then I think the answer is no. FIFO is no longer a thing. He should be the first to go.

It was quoted a few times in this thread about getting rid of the trinity and starting over. 😊

define a player's coach tho?..there can be many examples of it but whats your opinion that he is one...not being a knob just curious.

The Don..Bouno...even Murpht were also player's coaches who got a lotta love from their teams...but also made the hard assed decisions that had to be, and you earned your roster spot each week...or u were sat...or just out right released

A coach considered a players coach who just caters to his vets...favors...rarely disciplines...doesn't call anyone out...Mister Nice guy so to speak can also cause fractures too....which wasnt wildly publicized or let be known here but can assure you there was some dissention in the ranks....it's only natural and to say it didnt exist is foolish

An most players generally say they love playing for their coach...That's par for the course...

All that being said they have had 3 yrs ...4 counting this yr to turn it around from the last succesful end to season...and it has gotten worst each yr...with this yr likely to be even e steeper dip down, and fact of the matter is pretty much due to most if not all the same issues that have been there the whole time

No a good question, i guess my best example is Smith, who was going to quit last year but MOS was credited in helping him stay in the game, i guess when the player's quit on him then he stops being a player's coach, i have not seen any quit yet,let's see how they play against Calgary, if they get smoked then maybe it's a sign , but getting rid of all three in the offseason still makes zero sense to me.

I get it ,maybe MOS has a lot of weaknesses,but really what coach doesn't? He's a players coach and his players love him. Definitely we have lost alot of talent in the last 5 years,players coaches, scouting,why? Because we were the best. I just think we have to give these 3 some time to rebuild again...especially Wade,who totally turned this franchise around.

Let me try to wrap my mind around this logic.. we won 2 Grey cups with these guys after going what 25 plus years without...we are the strongest team financially in the league by far,yet because we have had a couple of years of so- so results we need to clean house? Is that right? 😵 Clean em all out...man do we have short memories around here.

Seems like a nice guy too,it would be hilarious if Stu and Clay made us say? Helle who? It's way too early,but gotta like the start to the season for the Jets.

Whew! At least we are trying to settle that back up spot, was concerned Chevy thought all was good. 😉

I don't understand what Chevy is doing,why not take a flyer on Remi Poirier? Big young goalie in the Stars organization that the Devils picked up on waivers, our backups right now look downright scary...actually our goaltending period looks scary bad.

Honestly i think it's time for a reset, hopefully we eventually get a good return for Helly, which would include a couple of younger players and a high draft pick,get younger and maybe in a couple of years we get back to where we were. Tank this year get Dupont and maybe bounce back quick.
