So I actually read a thing on this recently... essentially other apes can engage more large muscle groups at once making them stronger... however the cost compared to home sapiens is they can't hold a pencil or as the author put it "brain someone with a rock from distance" so as crazy as he is, he's not totally wrong. -

Wrong... and not just wrong but you should probably feel shame -
This. Guy is not nearly effective enough anymore.

Totally. Nichols put up some good playoff games for this team with bend and break defenses. With the D we put out in the playoffs in 2019 Nichols would have managed the hell out of a Grey cup win. That 2019 playoff D... that was goooooooooood stuff. -

Wasn't just BA, I specifically said Taylor as well and maston. Jones too. Strev played a bunch in that west final anyway. Collaros didn't do a lot in the grey cup game, given the way the D was playing i feel we could have won without collaros -

Thomas in limited reps is fine. That's the key. Don't play him like he's Doug brown in his prime. -

Walters plan "alright Osh, I'll sign Thomas if it'll keep you happy" Then first day of training camp a mystery assailant hammers Thomas in thr knee cap with a tire iron and he's on the IR all year. Everyone is happy. -

Y'all are nuts... the thing they turned the switch in 2019 was getting the secondary sorted out. Alexander to safety, Taylor coming in, guys like Jones and Easton solidifying spots. That 2019 playoff edition defense was a nightmare for teams, just ask Dane Evans. Y'all are nuts... the thing they turned the switch in 2019 was getting the secondary sorted out.

Without Chris Streveler we don't even make it to the west final in 2019... -

Hows about we sign an OC first and then figure out the backup qb situation... my vote is streveler and let the man play qb not human piñata -

I think it's abundantly clear after the past few years that Zach collaros isn't the reason the drought ended. Thank Andrew Harris, thank the defense. -

Came up short... yeah best reason why people look down on Glenn... his physical stature. He was a good solid player. The OG game manager. -
I mean if a starter goes down i don't doubt that oshea has complete faith in his backups.... problem comes in when you start to figure out that "goes down" means something different to oshea than you or I. For oshea it's something like "is he breathing? Then he can play"

Kelly redid his contract a bit though right? And now is less than Zach. Or am I crazy? -

But nothing says what the plan is for the guy... or the position in general. You're just letting your biases get in the way. They sign Wilson now because who else is going to sign him? And he knows it. So for him he gets a contract now rather than being left holding the bag waiting for his phone to ring. Honestly I fully expect the plan at lb is have some younger guys around and see what happens. With Wilson and Jones you got some guys with some experience and if you jabe some young depth it's the ideal situation. -

Like I said, easy signings. And there's nothing wrong with that. Again, if Wilson somehow manages to stay healthy he's a great guy to have on the roster. You just have this "it's all awful unless they sign the young physical specimens I like" mentality. -

Wilson when healthy is a good player. Of course he's rarely healthy. I don't mind bringing him back but you need a body behind him for when the inevitable injury happens. Gauthier is a teams contributer, you still need those guys. Orrrrrrrrrrr they're just easy signings -

No one is talking about cutting Lawler, it's a hypothetical discussion about picking between Lawler or Schoen. -
Yeah well I said onfield reason for a reason.... cause we've all heard enough finger pointing at oshea all offseason.

17to85 replied to TBURGESS's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The only eye roll is for a guy like you to think that the only valid defense is one built around pressure. Now full disclosure I prefer that style too... but I'm not so pig heatedly stubborn as to ignore that the way this defense played was different but still highly effective. To suggest it wasn't is pure pants on head ********. -

Is it wrong though? Guy hasn't been as consistent as he was when he set the bar... there can be a variety of reasons for that but facts are he hasn't given the level you expect game in and game out since his return. Does it mean he's washed up? He'll no, just that at this point he isn't the player he was. He may be again, or he may not be. -

In a heart beat. Lawler has not been the same guy that set the bar a few years ago.
