What exactly would Mike Oshea, who rarely IF EVER has seemed to come across as someone who isn't a straight shooter, benefit from lying, essentially? I consider Oshea to be a very up front and honest guy and he has yet to prove that otherwise. The Classic, Mr. Perfect and Sard 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be a very trusting individual. He is the 100% opposite of that. Maybe on a personal level he is up-front and honest, I would believe that. But in his dealings with the media? Not even close.

blueingreenland Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Is MOS changing? Answer - No! He left Nicholls in against Hamilton with 5 minutes to go and the game in the bag. That was a head scratcher. The guy is loyal to his Q.B. to a fault. (i.e. see Drew Willy lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I ain't saying MOS is always truthful with the media, but I will tell you this, I'll believe he's telling the truth here and that Lawless is doing what he often does and is passing speculation off as fact. If Lawless says things like "hearing this" or "there is a belief around the CFL" or anything along those lines I'll believe that he has a source on that. He's not totally full of ****, but he does like to pretend that he knows more than he does and apparently people like you just eat it up.

Mr Dee Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 O'Shea did address that very issue. He said that the outcome of a game is never guaranteed, as we well know, and he questions the benefit of having Davis coming in just to kill the clock, (last game example) They would undoubtedly be handing off the ball. All the QBs spend time running the same plays for the situations they will be up against to get the practice and to see what options each QB sees and takes. It's all captured on film, and discussed further in meetings. O'Shea says they have complete confidence in Davis, for example, and do not see the benefit of game time just filling in to hand off footballs.

I'm unsure of where Lawless is coming from on this one. I saw the tweets and immediately wondered if this was his opinion or whether he had heard it from a source. I'm still not sure. I don't necessarily believe he is correct, I just don't think MOS' denial is worth much. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I don't ever remember Oshea lying to the media. Is he always completely frank? Of course not. If he were, he would be someone that no player would want to play for and his team would have baled on him during the tough times. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
