1 mos hogan jy. horrible roster management, lack of adjustments pathetic execution. 

2 both lines. no pressure with any front or blitz, couldn’t keep either qb reasonably clean or open consistent holes. 

3 zach/chris. brutal in scoring range, un able to move the ball when we needed. 

ch a lot to pick from but chris’ pick. three riders given free paths to chris who stands in and still tries to force it down field as he’s hit. that ball could’ve been thrown away and we’d be 2nd down in field goal range. 

Dishonourable mentions, kola, sergio, kyrie, jones, vaval, holm, thomas, whole Dl. 

honorable mentions, smith for his great stop on the missed fg, kramdi, wilson, demski, brady, and vanterpool.

turnstile at center

Turnstile would be an improvement... he's barely even a pylon out there.

Didn't Jake Thomas used to take reps at oline back in the day.... I think I found a solution !! 

Bryant Kolo and Neufeld all need replacing. Can start with Kolo. Eli couldn’t be worse. If he is, get Vibert on then. He’s a center isn’t he? Vanterpool for Neufeld. 

Bryant Wallace Eli Vanterpool Randolph

That's just it... try Eli and if he doesn't work try the next guy. If you have to bring in an American centre do that because kolankowski is just too easy to embarrass and get collaros killed.

So if you're constantly swapping out pieces... Do you not give them time to gel? Especially along the OL we know how important it is for them to be familiar with eachother. If you're giving guys one game to figure it out or you're gone... That doesn't seem like a recipe for success.

It's not exactly a recipe for success now so what is there to lose?  I wouldn't be making changes after a single game though...i would give them a few games together to how the new group does.

These proposed changes are all based on the fact that the coaching staff actually acknowledges that there are issues... I don't see that happening. The OL is not changing the rest of the way unless someone gets injured.

No one said 1 game...

Disagree. If Kolanlowski was capable of being embarrassed by his performances, he would have committed seppuku long ago.

Kolo is on the ground for so much of the game it looks like he’s playing Nightcrawlers instead of football.

I’d like to see how the guards do with a half decent C. Eli, Vibert, some American, whoever. That’s the swap that needs to be made before anything else.

At least get someone there who isn’t physically dominated constantly, I can deal with the odd communication mishap or rookie mistake.

Let's be honest, many of us (Rebus raises his hand) are more ticked off this year because its a home Grey Cup and the team is struggling. Throw in an unspeakable horror taking place on November 16th (potentially) and you get this.

Agreed they should have gone all out this year because the cup is here rather focus on past success to fill the seats. It was an arrogant move by management

This is pro football. If they don't show anything then they should be gone. You give them a few games, yes but that's it. Sink or swim. Find the next guy.

Walters needs to walk the plank. I'm willing to give Osh another year but this season is Walters doing. 

Eli been around longer than kolo. Sink or swim time.

Or done any thing of impact at all. If we had just gone into the market and replaced 1 of the top tier FAs we lost each of the last 3 years, our roster is miles better.

yeah if it's a mental oopsie daisy....or a rookie error....learnable and correctable

When it's an issue of ability and just being over matched more than not, and not able to finish and maintain engagement...thats a different issue and time for change...I guess reason for change

Osh said it best himself "you look at a guts film from years ago, and you can see what he's capable of"

Thats just dumb....To think guys dont regress, or aren't capable of that anymore but relying on it...gets you what you see now

Maybe look at film from yrs ago and say..."gimme a player who can replicate that|"

there was oodles of top talent available too...and in the 3 main areas of need where we are majorly lacking to boot

I think it's a hybrid of this. They acknowledge they have issues but believe the existing crew will work through them and will get them to a better spot referencing years previous as proof.
