  1. I like it when other teams fans do it but not the fans of the teams I like lol. I much prefer the ref you suck chant. That would be a very solid move.
  2. He’s a good teams guy. But as a heavy rotational defensive guy? Idk either.
  3. That’s true. Question is, has mos brain washed him self with his own rhetoric. Kramdi is already starting. Unfortunately karamoko has been playing a major amount of reps at wil and as the dime in place of the wil. gauthier has seen few reps on D this year. Karamoko has really taken over that role. Thomas, petrishen, and gemmel all should’ve been kept around. Honestly ayers would be 3rd on that list for me.
  4. I think we are likely to split with Calgary and ott with an ok chance of beating bc. For sure less than that should trigger action. If we are 2-5 or 3-4 going into regina I wonder if that sparks any thing. Or if we are a 2–3 win team and lose that game does that bring about a shake up atleast with the roster.
  5. I don’t agree that the lbers are the issue. Our lber use sure is. 3-4 is better suited to the cfl, and it isn’t like the golden days of the lber. Lbers are not a dominating position. The advantages of the 30 in the cfl isn’t the extra lber, it’s most often an extra db on the field at wil any way. The advantage comes from better inside gap cancellation, easier run fits with out the hb/s, disguised pressure, better show and drops, better coverage rotations with more options, and the ability to create pressure opportunities while reducing doubles on guys like wj.
  6. Sure, but clearly no shame is associated with crappy play. No one in the locker room or out side of it is holding players accountable for crap play, prep, coaching, or play call. I bet 1-2 more loses and wj/biggie host a players only closed door meeting. barf. Yep. Question is how many loses does it take to make serious changes and kill the old boys club? Can it be hyperbole when we are dead last in the league? 2 tds in 4 games this year Thats a good question also how will Zach handle it? 2 2 and outs before we score and the O will be booed off the field. It wounded Nichols greatly when it happened. Zach is tougher, but he’s still a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. The struggle seems to be really hard on him already, he’s a great leader and you can see he takes all the responsibility.
  7. Keep in mind, we are now more of a 30 front team than a 40 front team. Oakman can play some end in limited reps out of a 40 set, or extensively play a 3/ 4I. It wouldn't be hard with adams also able to play any position in a 30 or 40 front for a decent chunk of the defensive reps to use oakman.
  8. DL suffer high ankle sprains at a very high rate though, as well as pulled hammies for the big guys. IF you watch his college punts he gets distance but doesn't extend well and looks stiff. Punters, and kickers, do an exceptional amount of work to keep their legs loose enough to kick consistently. Adding that work load to a nose tackle who is already playing the edge, and had some wind issues, isn't a great move.
  9. Thats a good point. hes gotta last for a long season this year.
  10. I could legit see letting him kick off. Imagine how he kicks with a running start and not needing to go knee to face on follow through.
  11. Enjoy the delusion while you can my friend, I wish I had one haha. I dont think we will see any impactful changes for a couple more weeks unless the old boys club all get stuck in the tub. QFT. Up next in the transaction page, Blue bombers sign DE Damian Jackson.
  12. Damn thats a good get for them. With all the injuries we easily couldve added a guy like that. Namely lawsons 6 game money.
  13. IF he fixed his follow through on his punting mechanics and worked on it he could be a legit punter at the pro level. Dude is nutty. Going to start for us at end as a 290lbs guy, and he played huge reps last week at end. If he dropped 15-20 lbs, he could be the scariest edge guy full time. Not a fan of Bridges playing serious reps, he and karamoko were a hot mess last week.
  14. We earned that ranking. I’d be slow to move us up if we do win one or two coming up unless it’s blow out wins.
  15. Great break down by lapo, take a shot every time karamoko (42) is out of position on the under side of the box on his zone.
  16. Didn't he attempt a come back at some point as well? Maybe 2022 or 23? Speller was a damn good player, I suspect some thing known behind the scenes caused his dumping to TO and perhaps his failure to play after that.
  17. It’s really hard to say how much falls on Walter’s directly. I do feel that some moves like cutting Jackson when mos rostered him soo much is a Walter’s fights back move. But, we are quickly getting to the point where it will be on Walter’s for not doing his job being mos boss and preventing stupid moves. The value in Brady is entirely in the fact he’s a mop candidate Canadian skill position player. Plus the local boy and off the field hero. Could we find a great rb for cheap in the nfl cuts? Yes easily. One that would be a beast in pass pro, excellent pass catcher, great runner who can execute our system and grind out yardage? Yes but not as easy. And that player will be gone after a year for a major payday and or nfl shot. Plus you lose the passport. Brady was the toughest decision this off season. Right or wrong I don’t fault Walter’s. we had much easier decisions to make like with biggie and made the wrong ones.
  18. The strevy package has been limited because we haven’t been able to keep the offence on the field. With bo out, we should be using it significantly more especially on first down. We’ve shown wrinkles like qb sweep, pa qb power, set up qb screen with both him and Zach on the field etc. with Zack’s struggles Strevy is significantly closer to starting here than he would’ve expected. I doubt he’s too upset other than hating losing and seeing the o struggle. you’re right that we’ve struggled more than ever in this era with qb protection and that buck has struggled to adjust with what’s going on. It’s a tough spot, what he has installed from tc we can’t run most of. He has always struggled to counter pressure. We have tools like the roll out and pa boot stuff. We’ve run that to get guys like schoen coming back to the ball in open space but its primary function is to counter pressure. We also haven’t made use of down field quick timing routes, slide pro etc. I am worried about buck. He’s young, but he’s looking like he’s either in a rut and doesn’t know how to break a plateau or he’s hit his ceiling. I think this yeah the goat is still getting his feet wet in coaching, and frankly he’s stuck with a bad punter and frequently this year is punting from deep in our end. Bad position to fake. But aside from the pathetic onside attempt in the gc, it’s been almost 2 seasons of no fakes on punting. Just the reverse and reverse fakes early last year in returns. roster management, old boys club, mos peculiar favouritism of rando sub par guys all that stuff is killing us and has robbed us of an all time dynasty.
  19. If we are under .500 for the bjb, I think the fan base will panic and attendance will plummet. I bet we see a 10-15% drop for the next game as is. I’d love to see Kelly at S, ba looks as bad as ever. Not just athletically and physically but mentally. He’s making decisions and coasting at times like I’d never have expected. Walter’s does have a history of that. Giving faith massive money because he was the no1 pick for instance. Biggie has been worse than all but one maybe two imp lbers in pre season. And those guys had mountains of up side.
  20. Hilariously accurate. Even though they did awful by art howe in the movie.
  21. That’s true, but old bill made the most out of his rosters, had the best game prep in pro sports, and managed to reinvent his team through soo many star departures. Once the gravy train ends, the range a coach gets to be ornery gets real small. bill can be pretty friendly and extremely engaging when asked good questions. That is a fantastic book, so is big book of belichick. The on football and on personnel books are worth the read too, as is Steve belichicks football scouting method book.
  22. I wonder if smith was a move made by walters. Mos for what ever reason really likes Mitchell. But we are insanely thin at kr and rb. Maybe mos isnt going to roster him unless he has to. Idk tin foil hat stuff. It makes no sense to leave smith off the AR. Augustine is already banged up, if he goes down we have a fb who isn’t really to be a fb and a sts fb left. Or our qb2, or wr2. Not good options for full time in a game. My expectations for this weeks ar are low, and still I think I’ll be disappointed.
  23. I don’t understand how we can be at the start of week 3, the guy played 6 days before week 1 and was in shape. If he’s recovered hth could he fall out of shape in barely 2 weeks. That’s messed up even for an excuse. @Atomic thanks for posting a transcript of the coaches show. I couldn’t stand or listen and won’t again.
  24. He isn’t that guy. Good change of pace back, really just a first down back. Out side of own carry Augustine averaged barely 2 yards per carry. You can’t run bully ball when you’re constantly in 2nd and 7 or 8. Augustine can’t and doesn’t punish defenders physically. He can gash yardage and get into the secondary.
  25. Oh right haha. I expect to be as bad at this as our offence is right now. Ever since McGuire retired I’ve been trash at it lol.
