What's tough is when a longtime head coach is fired & then hired as a coordinator on another team. He goes from giving the ordred to taking them without fail. I always admired guys who were in that situation & put their egos in their pockets & became loyal assistants. Also kudos to the head coaches who hired them not worrying about whether they'll try to cut them off at the knees to get their jobs.

Truly, can we end this endless arguing between us & have a fresh start? Every once in awhile maybe say something positive about one my posts. Instead of always criticizing. I'll do the same for you. When I get a a notification that you made a comment on one of my posts I think, "Now what did I say wrong??" What we're doing now is a pointless back & forth & it's been going on for years. I don't know about you but I'm getting tired of it all. We both need to move on.

We've had this discussion before. with you or others, I can't remember. A coaching staff is not a democracy. It's collaborative to a point. However, the Head Coach has final say in everything from play calling & schemes to personnel on the field. If Osh says no on any subjecy then the discussion is over. Yes, the D is on Younger responsibility but he still answers to Osh. If the HC wants to make changes like changing coordinators, simplifying the schemes or cutiing players then he will do it as he has that authority. Whether anyone disagrees or not.

Ha, ha. That just about sums it up. BTW, for BigBlue 204 who asked me to check the stats sheet, here's Cobb's stats from CFL.ca including this season so far. Click on the window. Two receptions for 26 yards. CFL.caGavin Cobb - CFL.ca2025: Blue Bombers The Blue Bombers first signed Cobb on February 11, 2025 in CFL free agency and then agreed to terms with the veteran receiver on a one-year contract on January 16, 2026 following hi

No, I've already mentioned them in a positive light by posting that I believe that they'll be thousand yard receivers for us. I guess you conveniently forgot that. Or perhaps you didn't know. Maybe read EVERYTHING I post & stop just cherry picking me. Funny how I never do that to you. I even press "Like" every once in awhile when you post something. You know, I've tried to get along with you but you're not interested in ending this feud. Therefore, no longer care what you think.

What stat sheet? Give me Cobb's numbers after two games, then.

No, from what I see receivers are wide open all over the place. It's not even close to how far behind defenses are at this point. I kinda like it.

We have a Super El Nino. We're burning up.

How can that not be on O'Shea? He's the Head Coach. All final decisions rest with him including personne, who plays & schemes. Didn't we have this discussion last November when this group was polarized to fire or rehire Walters & Osh?

Is Kian Schafer-Baker the most insufferable & unlikeable receiver in the CFL? The constant posing after a catch. Lying on the ground & pretending to chill should have been a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. He just looks like & acts like a fool.

I stick to an opinion because my belief system tells me I'm right. I don't expect every Bomber receiver to get a thousand yards & I never said anything like that about Cobb. I do expect our receivers to work together as a unit making it difficult for defenses to cover them all completely. To me, Cobb is not a threat nor is he even a concern. We let Wheatfall & Stearns go & so far playing on teams with OC's not named Hogan, they look very good. Yeah, our passing attack is working but we're only as good as our weakest link. We also are thin at receiver with little depth. One or two injuries & we'll be in trouble like last season. We're fine as long as we're healthy. Think Cobb will step up if he is called upon? Maybe but I doubt it.

OMFG, you're comparing Cobb to Lawler?? What are you smoking??? Lol,

We have a receiver who contributes little or nothing. If we had a boundary receiver who could get open you don't think it would make it that much harder for defenses to defend? That someone may be open downfield because the defense can't cover everyone? There were other free agents available we passed on who could have helped us.

We get rid of Wheatfall & Stearns but we don't sign two players to replace them. That sure seems to be the way the team conducts its free agency. Even keeping one of those 2 around would have made a difference. Or spending the money on another starting receiver that was available in free agency but instead we chose not to. All I know is we have a starting boundary receiver with 26 receptions for 385 career yards & just 2 TDs receiving before this season started . When I see those Wheatfall & Stearns playing very well elsewhere all it tells me that in the coaches meetings last season, we had Hogan telling O'Shea & everyone else in that room that it wasn't subpar coaching that made them play at such a craptacular level. It was the players fault.

He had close to 400 yards passing. To me, I'd say that was pretty great.

With Zach he'll have input into the offense which may change things in the Red Zone. Condell hasn't had a guy like Zach to work with in years. Certainly not in Ottawa or Hamilton once Zach left. He had Dru Brown in Ottawa who couldn't stay healthy. Condell would have had Bo Levi Mitchell in 2023 but he had that disastrous injury plagued season so they wouldn't have worked together for that long. This is probably Condell's best chance to show his chops as an OC with Collaros.

There has to be a receiver on someone's PR we can bring in to compete with Cobb. Why do we do **** like this??? I mean, they let Dobson walk to Hamilton where he became their starting Center. Osh keeps Kolo until this off season. He signs with the Cats & isn't on the field. Makes no sense to me at all what we were tryin g to do. just tells me how much better we could be if we played the best players within the ratio. That, in itself is damned frustrating. How good could we actually be?

I mean... C'mon iHeart, Shallit was 100 years old. I'd say by then that most people are getting ready to meet The Saint. BTW, my mother In law just turned 95 years of age 2 weeks ago. She might reach 100.

My wife loves the Focker movie series so we'll be going to see this in November. (Psst, I like it too).

No one can say Collaros played badly. He played great. Our passing game was humming. Nield & Tim White are going to a thousand yard receiver for us. So will Demski if he stays healthy. Wilson is our deep threat. If we can improve our boundary receiver & bench Cobb we'll be tough to stop. Zach made one mistake all night trying to get a touchdown in FG range. He could probably throw that pass a dozen times & Kasatonis has no play on it. He was in the right spot at the right time. It looks like Collaros is having fun again. Just shows you what a stupid decision it was to promote Hogan then keep him as an OC last season.

Cobb is just a waste of time, space & money. He should only be on the field playing on specials. Not starting. At this rate he'll start all 18 games & won't get 30 catches for 300 yards receiving. The Osh effect: Why have 6 receivers starting when 5 won't do? Gotta get that extra 2nd round draft pick.

He could have got paid here. Walters cheaped out. The Bombers gave up on Wheatfall. Fumbles happen all the time. That old decaying vet is now sitting on the bench as Dobson's backup in Hamilton. We give up on Wheatfall yet we let that garbage bag of a Center start & collect a salary for 4 seasons.

When there's no pressure on Mitchell & he can sign a ball every time he throws means the secondary gets lit up. And they did.

Yep. That's the way the ball bounces.
