Maybe you guys are right ,MOS is loyal to his vets( though they proved they would go younger when they cut Harris) but again why not be loyal? We ARE still one of the two top teams in the league and if MOS wants to go to war with these guys one more year, well i say he deserves to do whatever the hell he thinks is best and thankfully he will......

22 when they kept Dalton schoen who has torn the league a new *******? Hard to say Jackson would have been better than that.  Regardless of who he's playing with now. 
Barrington Wade didn't do **** on preseason. That he signed with an NFL team says more about his agent if you ask me. 
Parker over rose? Interesting take... could have argued Houston, maybe Holm but not Rose. Our best secondary includes Rose in it. 
Neufeld has been the best OL this year in my opinion. No sure anyone should be taking his place. 
 
Again there are a couple spots on the roster we can quibble about but by and large there isn't some grand conspiracy or coaching ineptitude.
Lawler is a strange one if you ask me, Lawler got on the roster and did show well... just that lapo likes to waste receivers talents if they're not a demski or weston dressler type.
Haba is the only guy on your list who has shown enough to get on the roster. We need to develop some young players sure, and part of that is development time.  Inserting haba over some of the vets doesn't make this team any better today.

Lucky Jackson, currently playing WR with the Minnesota Vikings, was likely more talented than another players who stuck in out of '22 camp.
Same with Barrington Wade in '23 class — he signed with the Bears after the Bombers cut him. You're telling me he wouldn't be better than Malik or Brian Cole right now?
Jamal Parker has not been getting the reps he should've been over Winston Rose.
Dobson and Tui should probably both be starting over Kow and Neuf right now.

Bolo is Cdn too..we are just deep at receiver.

Just came across this forum and signed up to join in on the conversation on the roster.
Was reading some of the stuff people commented about on the PR shrinking and ADS and Agudosi getting picked up elsewhere and it made me look back to the post-COVID classes of American players the Bomber FO has brought in:
2023 Class
Damian Jackson, FB/LS - 31 Celestin Haba, DE - 24 Tyjuan Garbutt, DE - 24 Tyrique McGhee, DB - 25 Ravi Alston, WR - 24 2022 Class
Dalton Schoen, WR - 26 Evan Holm, DB - 25 Jamal Parker, DB - 25 2021 Class
Deatrick Nichols, DB - 29 Ricky Walker, DT - 27 Demerio Houston, DB - 27 Dru Brown, QB - 26 Drew Richmond, OT - 27 (Also Dee Alford and Casey Sayles)
Recent signings from other teams:
Miles Fox, DT (2023 from BCL) - 26 Desmond Lawrence, DB (2022 from HAM) - 28 Brian Cole, LB (2022 from EDM) - 26 Malik Clements, LB (2022 from EDM) - 27 Feels like a pretty even distribution of younger players being added to the roster throughout the years. I wouldn't say we are running rookies out of town like others. In '22 we didn't keep any of the PR guys we brought in but this year we kept Ravi Alston instead of Agudosi, which makes me think he beat Carlton out or they didn't expect him back next year. 
Difference this year is the young guys aren't getting as much opportunity to play other than Celestin Haba (looking promising!) and Damian Jackson (groan). But Tyrique McGhee likely being brought along to compete for starting DB spot next season and two rookie DEs are hopefully developing behind Jeffcoat and Jefferson.

Agudosi had a chance when Lawler was hurt, he didn't do enough with it. 
As for swarthy, we'll Parker is healthy, Houston is ahead of him too, Lawrence is still around, depth at db. 

Prukop? The correct answer was bring back Michael Bishop.

See threads following losses to BC, Ottawa, Saskatchewan, and Hamilton. Rinse and repeat. See most threads from Mike,WBBFan or Booch once game roster declared. Multiply by 10. 

Pitchforks and manure....

Fire half the coaching staff and start Prukop.

I wonder what this forum would be like this week if we LOST the game...😉

Who would someone playing in Winnipeg put on a "No Trade" list?  LOL

Collaros a victim of his own success played at such a high level the past two years that a slight drop in play as seen as a lot worse than it actually is.

It’s when they block #50 on the other team 

Some people have built the roster "issues" into a much bigger deal than it actually is. And also think that by not completely dismissing certain players they are actually fanbois of said players. 
It's bizarre to me how this has been built up into this weird huge thing...

That’s an interesting, astute analysis. I had read it much the same way, that’s why his last comment caught me off guard a bit. 
I have been more than a little shocked about the disgruntlement around a 12-4 first place team this year. People lamenting the inevitable downfall and regression that will see us one and done in the playoffs. Kind of figured that after the previous 30 years of true misery, this heater we are on would leave nothing but joy and satisfaction in its wake, because they don’t come around often. Can’t figure the mindset of why some want to be glass half full (or worse) when there are no strong signs of regression given our record and overall performance this season. Every year is a crapshoot, there is always a chance we will lose, be it a player crapping the bed, a coaching error, another team catching fire at just the right time and plain beating you on any given Sunday, or just dumb luck going against you at the wrong time. Best you can realistically hope for is that your team is built to contend and get you in position to win it all, and then the other stuff will take care of itself. This regime has given us that team built to contend for the last 7 years or so. Not inclined to diss them now since we are still in the thick of it. 

Reads more to me like a guy truly hurt people would argue with him. 
Here's how I see it... booch is engaged in an argument that doesn't really exist and has taken it to a level where people are making fun of him now.

No... don't want tiffs... koombaya, we're all Bomber fans here, even the chatbots (I kid, I kid)
I'm sincerely trying to watch the OL closely, this is what I'm seeing. As a group they spring leaks, and it's coming from all across the line at times, even our star tackles more often than I'm used to. This season and especially the last couple games Collaros has also been holding the ball longer than maybe he should/needs to, and at times runs himself straight into the pressure, that isn't helping anyone look consistently great. Hardrick had it happen to him the other night, ran his man wide by a good 7 or 8 yards and Collaros spun straight into the defender, not even Hardricks fault (I don't think). Not sure how it could be Kolas though, or how a different C would have led to a different result, not to cherry pick... I'm sure you could show me examples where he is the culprit and honestly I'd love to see them (no expectations though, but I would watch)
Yes, Kola is measurably undersized compared to other Cs, but that hasn't stopped Chris Walby from praising his play throughout the season. Is it just tire pumping or knowledgeable insight? Who am I to believe? I know I'm not supposed to trust Kola's high PFF score because PFF, I have it on good authority, is trash.
What I do know is Brady is off to the races, and he doesn't do it by himself, and an OL wins and loses as a group or so the cliche goes. It hasn't looked pretty but relative to the rest of the league, our Oline has to be counted as one of the best if not the best units right now. Crazy though that there is potential to be even better than we are right now, relative to the rest of the league. I'm all for it.
And that's totally fair and I'm all for improvement at every position. As it stands the transition is inevitable, 3 year contract and all. I know he was ranked quite high on the Rimington Trophy watch list and that's a big deal... of course they've been using PFF since 2014 so... that's a neat detail... no matter, Eli looks undeniably good mauling guys in the heavy packages, if that's any indication then the future C of our Oline is promising

Well....might not be able to play x's and o's on paper.....but think I do know a bit about the birds and the bees aspects of things..... hence, plan to still post here......
In the meantime... some folks should just save it for the opposition.
