Fatty Liver

Can't win games scoring 9 pts., O'Shea needs to point a gun at Buck and give him a freehand to come up with a solution to fix an underperforming QB and a sputtering offence. How he wants to manage his player personnel is up to him, but if Buck can't change the direction of this offence by year end, O'Shea needs to pull the trigger and bring in an OC with a better plan during the off-season.

Grouping Zach in with Biden now, you can never be sure exactly which version is going to show up.

You realize they are on a winning streak, right?

Nothing wrong with moving the ball and securing first downs, controlling the clock and grinding down their D on a hot summer day. Throwing bombs all day is a low percentage strategy that may lead to a plethora of turnovers, turn the ball over enough to the Rider D is precisely how they could lose this game.

Lucky is being investigated for growing a vegetable garden with no defined purpose. It may not be a crime but it is a bit strange.

Anyone see MCI get injured? The injury will surely remain undisclosed, the Bombers seem to slip these guys onto the 6 game in the middle of the night when nobody's watching.

Strevy.

Some people get really pissed off when O'Shea chooses his favourites over their favourites.

Zach scored 41 last week against a stronger Stamp team IMO, I sense he's just getting warmed up and they're about to lay a serious butt kicking on their country cousins. Won't be surprised if they bust 40 again.

No matter what, like Bailey he's not going to see a lot of balls coming his way, might as well use every snap to punish people for getting in his space.

I noticed late in a game a few weeks ago Yoshi was almost dragging one of his legs around to get back to the huddle, he may have chronic deterioration of a joint and might be hard-pressed to pass a medical even if after he rehabs. Won't be surprised if Riders ignore all evidence and employ him anyway to harvest their investment.

Watson was a beast, case of a guy hitting so hard he always broke, same with Johnny Sears.

3 "no's" for you.

I'd be surprised if Yoshi isn't gone for the season, I think he knew how bad the injury was as soon as it happened.

With his knowledge of the game Kramdi is also a logical future replacement for BA at Safety, opening up the SAM spot for Cole, Parker or whoever steps up.

Cauchy Muamaba agrees with the sentiment behind the policy!

Case i guess, don't think they'll put him in as a receiver. Cole listed as ill on the injury report.

Definitely, O'Shea is one of the few HC's that rarely discusses strategic issues on the field because he's not involved in the minutiae of decision making, he oversees but adds little. He's always going on about the mental state of the team and the philosophical ramifications of events around the team and how they affect the players emotionally. Really noticed that change the last two years.

Cody Case over Whitehead?

Jarious Jackson reporting for duty!!! 😄

I don't get your point, you want to trade Castillo for Bede or think they're operating on the same level? Which nut cracks under pressure?

That's what it looked like across the league this weekend, receivers left wide open rambling for huge gains.

When all else fails, pull out all stops.

More Kramdi bits, he doesn't sound like the typical player. Being resilient is one thing, but his football I.Q. is the biggest reason why the son of Algerian immigrants has been able to climb the ladder and not only start but excel at one of the most complicated positions on the field. It goes back to his time at the U Sports level when he played under head coach Danny Maciocia — the current general manager of the Alouettes. Every day, Maciocia would call up a handful of defensive players to the whiteboard at the front of the room and ask them to break down a specific play. Most could tell you what their position group should be doing, but all 12 players? Not a chance — unless it was Kramdi being asked. On one occasion, Maciocia went out of his way to test Kramdi with a complicated formation. He still managed to knock it out of the park. “That will always have a lasting effect on me, just the way he went up to the board, took charge, and explained it in detail. I remember vividly that people in that meeting room stood up and gave him a standing ovation,” said Maciocia. “It was really something that you typically don’t see, even at this level, this level we’re experiencing here this week.” Als safety Marc-Antoine Dequoy — the East Division’s nominee for Most Outstanding Canadian — played for the Montreal Carabins alongside Kramdi and had a similar take on his former teammate. “I’m always joking with him that when he chooses to retire that he’s going to be a coach or a scout, or a GM someday. He’s really, really into it and he loves it and he’s good at it. He’s got a great football eye. Watch for it, you’ll probably talk to him one day as a coach,” said Dequoy. “Let’s say you put in the tape from another Grey Cup or something. I mean, at one point, you’re going to look at your phone, but he’s always dialed in on the tape. He’s interested and wants to see what’s going to happen. There’s that curiosity in him that makes him great.” Bombers safety Brandon Alexander saw that from Kramdi from Day 1.“He’s one of the smartest guys I’ve been around, and I think he’s definitely one of the most underrated football players in the CFL. I’ve always advocated to find a way to put Redha on the field — for two years now, to be honest with you. Now that he has that chance, I’m excited for him, I’m happy for him,” said Alexander. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/special/sports-editors-picks/2023/11/15/kramdis-on-field-success-brings-joy-to-his-grieving-family

Castillo has moved around a lot but he was usually chasing dollars, he hasn't been cut often based on poor performance.
