Ottawa cast offs? That's like rummaging through the dumpster behind the 29 cent store.

Rummaging behind the turd store for 29 cent turds...

TBF, they cycled through so many players this season that it's impossible to sign someone who isn't an Ottawa cast off.

bad teams cut and waste good players.

Ya I was gonna say... All of a sudden Dinwiddie is a great judge of talent, and nobody should ever touch his castoffs....??

Wade was smart to make the survey mainly about sponsors and partners. I don't think they would enjoy (or are even interested in) our opinions on the way the football side of things has been going.

Survey actually bugged me. The club doesn't need to know my plans for major purchases, where I bank and the other stuff. Wade Miller can **** right off with his survey.

Except when their castoffs are offensive coordinators.

Same, it was super invasive. They said it was short too lol

I completely understood the survey .. thought it was fine. They need info to give their sponsors (such as Access Credit Union...) to show them their marketing dollars are being spent well. I tried to fill it out as thoroughly and honestly as I could.

yeah we definitely have to switch up our thinking and not keep looking back at what was...and worked. Teams already have been morphing things to an extent while we have been standing pat, and well we have witnessed the real time decline

I'd prefer we go a national kicker who could do all 3, and the new rules we dont need to have some long bomb field goal guy as they gonna be few and far between now

There's a lot of global talent out there hat could prob give you more value elsewhere if you did your homework than a punter anyway.

2027 needs to be the yr...probably 3 yrs over due now where we abandon this rigidity of our roster makeup in regards to where we pre-designate our Nationals...actually pre-designate many spots national and american. Actual open competition should reign supreme and if it means a vet gets cut/pr'd/bumped to a backup...so be it

A new guy/second yr guy if good enough...and with adequate coaching can play...they don't need seasoning on a PR...Thats just nonesense

We broke camp...I recall saying Reese should have been on the active...Singer as well and starting...Fletcher should be in rotation...Our best center was Eli...No reason Smith should be second fiddle anymore

Down the stretch and especially in the last reg season game and in the playoffs...who made some real key plays and helped get us o the ESF...Singer...Reese and Fletcher (who has gotten better and better) ...Eli solidifying the interior and making proper calls (Just look at the game winning TD series and how he was key in keeping the pocket from caving from the middle allowing Dru to have the confidence o stand in there and drop some solid pass from pocket) Not to mention until he got hurt Smith being one of our best impactful defender....Its no rocket science to see/assess talent and where and how to best utilize if you take off the Bias glasses

Imagine where some those guys would be if given the reigns right outta the gate...and wonder what others may have same potential buried behind Osh and his piss poor ideas and assessing?

Imagine where we would be had we played these guys instead of Osh's faves. Think we'd have won 3 more games had we played Singer, Fletcher & Eli among others?
