I think what will happen is Hall is fired unless we win the Cup and MOS gets year 6. Nobody will do anything about him at all. Walters gets even more of a pass. Seriously, ever read or hear anything negative from the media on him? He engages with the local media so he is well liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe old school football fans and media people like the idea of a canuck head coach, and manager, and ceo. So our three guys maybe get more leeway than normal, in the hope that a Canadian run team can succeed. Edited August 26, 2018 by Mark F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 I feel like Walters does a good job with free agency and has built on NI talent well and I like having 2 firsts next year but we have some glaring weaknesses that have been here his entire 5 years.

blueandgoldguy Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Six years for this franchise without a playoff victory. Longest streak in the league. Even Montreal has a playoff victory in that time span. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walters has done a good enough job to warrant some slack. But if he is prepared to go through another season, he is part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it’s with Flanders who I prefer, or with Demski, we’ve had tons of success with that formation. Start Streveler, dress Flanders and let Demski come into the backfield on sweeps. There won’t be a team in the league that could stop our running game. We can’t win throwing with Nichols and this receiving core. Even Lafrance is a pretty useful player. Can run, catch and block, just does good things when he gets on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still maintain that a lot of the continued weaknesses come down to roster management and less so recruitment. How many guys are rotting on the practice roster (Flanders, C.Washington) while Lankford and Wild are on the field. I mean how is Wild on the field defending 2nd and long when you’ve got Fenner playing only special teams?! Mark F and TBURGESS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The import scouting has been ****, and I think partially because they don't do a good job of developing guys or giving new guys a real shot to develop. Instead they get stuck on one dimensional players like Lankford, because he's so damn fast! He can make like two big plays in a whole season just by being so fast!

BC should have kept him Signing Dressler, Bowman, Moore, Smith, Stafford, etc... these are kind of 'meh' to me - Dressler is nice but I'd rather have developed our own guys... Well if that's the case, you should ask why, and I'd say it's because it takes a good GM to provide the kind of place that players want to go to. That was something Mack could not do and something Reed is failing bad at. But that wasn't really even the main point. Point is I wonder if they will have the guts to make a coaching change if necessary, or would they hang on to MOS the same way he has Richie Hall.
