Exactly right. People are criticizing MOS for doing what every football coach in the history of football does week in and week out.

In order to replace veterans you have to have the players that will perform better than the veteran. Change for the sake of change is stupid.

we do...and we dont

That's a pretty broad statement. Let's hear some facts to back it up. Compare roster usage around the league and you will quickly see how wrong you are. The only difference between OSH and the rest is his refusal to use the naturalized IMP. That is a big flaw for sure, Your assessment of Ayers is out to lunch. He was excellent in camp last year and was not kept solely for STs. We don`t dress extra DEs because they are ALL rostered already with the exception of Munier-Bailey. 

Some guys can transition to pros in a heart beat, some take longer. Not sure why any of us try to create artificial hard timelines on player development. Every player is different. Like it or not, the coaching staff knows a 1000x better than any fan whether or not a guy is ready for the friday night lights. There is more to it than just physical. You have to learn how to be a pro mentally as well.

If that were true Biggie would be a Bomber, not a Stamp.

Except that Bighill was nowhere near ready to start the season, is still not ready and may never be. Forced O'Shea's hand- or maybe Walters made the decision.

Paying attention is important.  Creating false narratives should be a ban hammer  and you do like the fake news it seems. Cuz just a week or so ago during a Jordan younger interview he specifically said they made the decision to move on from Bighill and BA. They could have brought them back but decided to not do that. They were never bringing BA and Bighill back. Stop the fake news that honestly just serves no purpose. Besides, what does going back in the past accomplish right now. Honestly. Some of you just it’s just so repetitive. It’s Labour Day coming up and you got ppl talking about a guy who hasn’t played a down in 2025. Like at what point does the insanity end. O’Shea is the ******* coach. Walters is the guy who signs ppl or doesn’t. I mean with some of you they could come out and say Kyle brought this guy back and you’d say sure he did sure the gm did gm things. It was O’Shea cuz it’s always O’Shea. It’s just bullshit.

They definitely made the conscious decision to move on from BA no doubt

They moved on from Biggie because they had to...they knew he wouldn't be ready for likely half the yr or more.. so was forced on them

We 10 games in...over half the yr and he not ready...decision to move on there was made for them

I agree with your comments on Biggie! I would have loved to see him in Bomber Blue but he IMHO is past his "Best Before Time".  And IMHO I think it is time to move on from Jake Thomas (I love the guy but IMHO he needs to only serve in a back up role)

They do but they keep signing him. So at this point Jake will retire when he retires and that’s when he won’t be a bomber. He’s going out on his terms. I think we should all just accept that. Personally I would let him go because he’s the guy I look at and go not good enough, want to show ppl you serious about winning. That’s the easy move to make. Release Jake cuz literally everyone would understand. MBB and bomber fans world wide would all be like we get it. Best of luck Jake. Nobody would be like that’s Bullshit they let him go. Unite the fanbase and release Jake Thomas. Playing him and starting him and giving him as many reps as they do is just embarrassing and appears like actively trying to lose.

Nope. Nope. Nope. 

Take his Jersey, put it up in the dressing room and let him help coach the Dline if he wants to. 🙂
