Had we played a clean game up to the level of our lineup we had it's quite possible that roster usage may not have mattered I agree as well....but part of the better coaching part...was putting the right guys on the roster too....and possibly better preparing the ones who were 2023...at minimum 5 guys who were too hurt to play....and then having a couple guys on sidelines who could have...not step on field....thats on coaching Removing a seasoned play-off vet like Rose for no real particular reason as he was not playing poorly.....thats on coaches ZC against the Argo's in 2022....was very apparent he was not able to play at a level required due to injury...and yet...was kept in....again...poor coaching....if anything they should have let the n=backup get 1 or 2 series to see if it added a spark Dressing an undermanned and underwhelming dline for that game....who puts out that roster?....the coach I won't go on about it but beyond some the underwhelming performance by some of our guys...our coaching further handi-capped things....hope we have learned Blue-urns, SpeedFlex27, Piggy 1 and 3 others 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 when I look at bad in game play...wth broken coverage....poor qb decisions....missed assignments...I look toward the lead up prep and how staffs I have been part have had taken each group...ran thru scenarios...all the alterations they may see...and how you adjust and make sure guys are all on same page and are aware of things they may not have even considered....which can minimize and for most part eliminate busts...etc....I am of the belief we don't coach that up enough and Osh puts too much faith in the guys in the room and the vets are on top of it and doing it....hands off at times is good to a point, but you also have to still be that coach and be certain all the boxes are checked...T's crossed and i's dotted...He has himself even admitted that he doesn't do that....maybe he should....The TD that won it against us in last yr's Grey Cup was Houston lack of seeing things...and knowing that pattern...Rose would have easily sniffed that out....but Rose was in civies Blue-urns, SpeedFlex27, Piggy 1 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can fairly compare being out coached in game plan and adjustments/play call to roster management. As well as player readiness and execution, which is a good part coaching as well. You’re right too that in several roles we’ve simply not played at the level you’d expect. Wj, zach, and a bunch of other guys haven’t lived up to their own standards. With good to great coaching you don’t see that as much but it still happens. we largely put prep out side of film and playbook install on the locker room. When that fails, the blame has to be split. When it happens repeatedly, it’s much more on coaching. BigBlueFanatic and Booch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 So how much of the execution problems in last years grey cup go back to dressing the ir receivers for the game?

Thing is, I think any one of 3 primary coaching issues if changed, alone win it for us. At that point, I don’t think it matters which one is greater. 40 minutes ago, Goalie said: I think in football it comes down to how your QB plays in the big games. Zach hasn’t been great.

Tons....3 guys were useless...and Mtl barely gave them a hard look and took away Lawler..BO...and knew if they went to Bailey..Demski...Schoen that they could get away with soft/minimal coverage and get to the ball and incur minimal damage Was blatantly obvious....and even the healthiest (Demski) who you could of got away with if you had 4 other healthy guys after his first sweep....i think was a sweep....could see he had zero burst or sxplosiveness.....as we let BOLO stand there all game...and could have dressed a vet like Ambles...who had played that yr....knows cfl defenses inside and out and would have known more than enough of the play book to be effective....and regardless, MTL would have to have dedicated attention to both him and Bolo and would have gave the others room to perform.....sad fact we barely lost, and part of the blame there wwas the defensive lineup...we all know what that was......fact of matter....That was all on coaching....and 90% reason why we biffed our second straight cup 10 hours ago, wbbfan said: Fair question and a tough one.

Thats where your coach has to have the foresight and ability to see issues and buck his trend of believing the starter is always great and maybe make a change....if not if for anything 1 series and let the main QB see what's going on from the sidelinesthis is a key issue I think....Osh puts too much faith in guys in room gettting the extra stuff done...and how we have came out in many games...how we have no answer at times in some and where we have guys looking totally out to lunch is an indication that the team isn't/wasn't prepared totally and that coaching was to lean....and when your roster isnt loaded anymore...well....

However, we had guys simply blow coverages at key moments, and ZC making errant throws and that is NOT on coaching...ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creating a game plan, installing the weeks playbook, the play call, and in game adjustments aren't just about what the other team is doing / wants to do. It's equally about putting your guys in a position to succeed. It is 100% the coaches job to prep the players for who they are facing on a personnel match up level as well. You see "blown coverage", but what you don't see is a DB not knowing how to defend a jump step at the line, or understanding wr tendencies that tips fake cuts, double moves etc. You see an errant throw, but don't see the route concept being messed up because multiple WRs cant run or cut hard. Preparation and execution especially on a team or unit level are 100% dictated by coaching. Tackling for instance is a direct result of discipline enforced by the coaching staff. Slack discipline means arm tackles, selling out for hits etc. Tight discipline and prep means guys are flying to the ball, gang tackling, and wrapping up. Physicality is one of the biggest signs of how well prepared a team is, 19 gc we blew hamilton off the ball in all 3 phases of the game with our physicality. The last two years we've been beat physically by mtl and tor. That is the difference between players running week of walk throughs and having total control of the locker room and culture vs coaches. Look at any team that makes a coaching change in season. Look at the previous week then the weeks after. You see the same players and an immediate change in preparation level and execution. Because it stems from a coaching staff leading their team. Early tenure they get it easily, late on they struggle. But it is a coaches job at each level to run preparation each week.

I think the amount of work that units do is lost on a lot of people. The position coaches and position meetings, then O/D/STs and the role that all plays in practice and install. Every NFL and major ncaa teams stadium has bedrooms because some players and most of the coaches work 18+ hours a day on team prep up until the final walk through of the week.

Or how most of the position coaches and cos live season to season. It’s brutal, that’s why I don’t question guys who take cushy jobs with huge pay days. Get it when you can.

The voters always try to balance out the awards and spread them around, the most the Bombers can hope for is Brady receiving one award and Ontaria Wilson winning MOR. Stanley has been capped at 4, and Ty Ford stands little chance of winning against Milligan and the green background noise that's pushing him for MOP.

Brady is closing on on 2000 yards from scrimmage. He'd need a monster game to get there (217 yards) but considering how POORLY this team played in the early part of the season, I'm amazed he's as close as he is. It's even more impressive when you consider he played two fewer games than last year when he finished with 2016 total yards from scrimmage. Brady *should* be a serious contender for MOP.

Hopefully some of the mdp and mop votes get split between Beverette and Milligan, so Brady can get mop. The thing is Brady actually had a better year last year and didn't win (which was robbery) Edited October 24 by Pete wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
