Booch

yeah will be a 4 man crew as opposed to 3....I didnt realize Penn was gone so thought we were rolling with 5 That being said I would have preferred an O.C announcement....as it will have some bearings on potential player signings....re-ups and new yeah...he is very well connected and will benefit us big time

ahhh.....did not know that...was an up and comer Yeah Jauch is a good score and the other guys have league familiarity and connections...which wont hurt we released him early..as in a yr early......we did him a solid and if he fails he still belongs to us....so win win.....

Jim Jauch, Eric Deslauriers and Brock Sunderland will be added to scouting staff...3 to replace 1 guy seems a bit odd but can never have enough scouts

yup.....no risk...high reward....and plug and play with no learning curve so if he breaks camp as a starter he hits ground running...another plus People forget if not for him saving our bacon coming outta nowhere to take down Rhymes on the Holm and Kramdi gaff...we wouldnt have been to 4 straight cups...let alone 5

Or replace Holm if he isnt re-signed....He'd also make a real nice SAM if need be tho I would like to see Griffin take that spot over as he is really good inside the box in run support and has way better coverage skills....and is a A+ tackler....The addition of Parker and more full time play from Griffin would istantly make us a better tackling back end...and see if Kramdi can handle safety...which I think he should be able to.

Wonder if Williams is not responding well in rehab...as he was/is poised to be real good...

Good signing..if he is finally healthy and stays healthy is probably our best all around DB...versatile...one best tacklers on team too....and one of fastest

Nope...early cut if he even makes main camp...he's a nickle a dozen in the meat grinder Schoen has the testing numbers...but in the NFL he had 2 strikes originally...walk on...Un drafted...then added his 3rd strike being a CFL invite..just way nfl works Yup...they will likely draft 2 guys better...plus any free agent pickup...I bet he doesn't last in main camp long if he even makes it to camp

If we would have payed Jeffcoat reasonably he would have been back..and would have been huge Exactly...out coached in all 3 too

and thats cause you are...as you eloquently stated "John Q Public" as were likely your patrons Times have changed since, but guys still talk to trusted people....and if you are in the fraternity of player/former/coach/off-season trainer you get just as much...if not more info....whether you wanna believe it or not and here's something to much on...some people fraternize with current CFL players/execs/coaches outside of public venues...where there are no ears secretly trying to listen

any player will tell you...and you will read it in press all the time that the coaches prepare and put the players in the position/situation to succeed.....and yes it is up to the players as well to perform and get the job done.....wont argue....but if the players are not put in position/coached./schemed to succeed then it doesn't matter how well they perform a flawed game plan.....its not gonna rep any rewards....and going rogue and bucking the game plan doing your own thing...even if it is the better thing is the fastest way to get benched...stuffed on the PR or flat out cut...well a good staff would would do that. We lost 3 straight...yup....for a combination of reasons...poor play...poor scheme....absurdly bad rostering of injured guys even tho the HC professes all guys are starters and are here as they give us a chance to win, yet he doesn't even hiself follow that mantra...or seem to believe it...as it is a pile of crap essentially as they are not all starter material....some of our starters we lean on are no longer starter material, and the big fly in the ointment is we were outcoched/classed in all 3 losses....severely We went to 5 straight cups yup...but lost 3 straight we really shouldn't have for essentially the same reason...failure to roster accordingly....failure to dress guys who were truly playable, and failure to adjust the gameplan when adjustments were required, but instead relied on just trying to pound a square peg in a round hole solely because it worked before. That is 100 percent not on the players Going into 2025...what makes anyone believe that we will adapt and alter how we do things based on the past 5 yrs? Heck we weeks from free-agency and we haven't even got all our internal affairs in order yet and for what has been mentioned most the decisions right now are all on Walter's and Oshea.....doesn't give a warm fuzzy confident feeling to be honest knowing Osh will be parlaying for signing likely BA....Biggie...Jake....Wilson...not even considering looking for a punter...and likely already having decided that ZC is defacto starter evn if he is outplayed in camp/pre-season, or just looks to be regressing Call me a hater all you want.....but thats just being a realist...clubs that cling on to the past too long usually end up looking up at the teams who are adapting and evolving...

At least he outta here ....for now

Lol....soon as I sent that I thought...damn hahaha A Joe Q public is essentially the poster with the gripe He's a solid dude

who's he mentoring...aged out players clinging to their professional lives and steps they need to take to woo their coach to keep clinging? lol

not to be rude....but you dont know much...I have relations with many players...coaches..trianers....believe it or not...which you dont....but man you sure get offended easily I know for 100 percent factthat there were many disgruntled players....they will toe the line tothe press....random events....but people who get off the record exchanges with them having no fear of it being in press...thats a different cat...and to think at his age and point in career...that he isnt going to see what he could get elsewhere is probably one of the more brain dead comments here....take it for what YOU wid=sh...ye of the ol sage knowledge and always right assumption....but you are wrong....a lot.... some key board warriors with zero ties to the game...current and past, and have never had any football experience other than high school I would assume in any capacity just don't like the truths I knew also Schoen was likely to be played in Grey Cup but didt mention it as the "players" who told me said to keep it under wraps...and "the players" also shook their heads about it and said it was not the smart move who said anything about public gym?....and even if at certain public gyms...they are not holding a forum for all to hear....dont be so obtuse....Friends talk...collegues talk.... thanks good sir...and not just atthe gym....also...I am a strnegth and conditioning coach...hmmm....maybe I have clients??...huh...theres a thought eh? lol

Nobody said anything about breaking bank...but market value...which he has played under is also in play who said put a gun to anyone's head?...and also disinformation because....you aren't in the know....or have anti-bias from who posts something?...Interesting enough....if you look back I mentioned his original deal hear....salary and yrs before it was publicized, so contrary to what you...and a few others like to believe and pump...some people kicking around here do have a lil more knowledge and access to info that the common fan and yea he loves it here but also is in golden yrs of his career now and this likely to be his last bigger cheque, unless he has a huge yr in 2025...then he is getting his bucks up for 2026......he may also see/feel the vibe that he is gonna be saddled with lack luster talent around him (again) and that will get his bucks down.....hmmmm.....he also can still have Winnipeg as his home base and yet not play here.... if he was on some other teams who actually value and prioritize dline talent and roster it as such...they would certainly value him as much...if not more

we could prob field a better import at less than half the price he gonna want...we don't need to use that spot as a canadian...and really if we were smart we wouldnt pidgeon hole certain spots as "canadian"...sign the best guys you can...then sort out the ratio...

Thats if...WJ is still here....I believe he may field offers.....or at least let the Bombers know market value...then ball is in their court...expect it from a few others too from what I hear

Yeah...if we roll into camp as Jones as the impact guy...or hopes of that...prepare for adequate play but nothing impactful..he'd be the ultimate DA behind our starters tho

epic fail....and i getting more worried

I okay with Neuf....he is one of the voices and leaders on the team....and was banged up last yr....played well again when finally healthy....Not to beat a dead horse to death but a change at center would bring the play up on the interior....Kolo is a very limited center....but we know limited talent here if an Osh fav gets the play time The silence with other signings, and solidifying coaching is a little concerning tho....there some reason's I can see but prob wont mention here as dont wanna upset the fanboi's with nobody can do no wrong on our current staff I think you will be surprised at a few players who are gonna look around and see what's available....tho not necessarily gonna leave...but may...many here wanna deny it but there is a fair sized group of players..some tenured vets who were not happy how things were managed 2 yrs running now....I also think that the non confirmation on an OC...and the defection of other coaches says a lot....of how some things are ran here...the my way or the suck it up style.....interesting 3 weeks coming up

man....4 yrs ago now is a long time hahaha

taking the knee was a defeatest attitude and sent message to Argo's that they had this game in the bag

shouldnt all the players u roster have never say quit in them..and be tough...athletic...versatile....and if not...why they on roster?...call me crazy but in my coaching tenure/experience, thts how we rolled....yhou eraned a spot in camp....and then had to maintain/keep it in season...be it if you were a rookie...2 yr guy..10 yr guy....nothing was handed to you with zero competition, and if you were not performing at the best compete level....u saw the bench or inactive roster.....or bought a bus ticket... that staff does not inspire me....Good luck Buck I think Jackson is the guy...and best option...he's been around a bit but worked with a lot of people....and like Younger has some innovative ideas He has the knowhow and actual sense to use skill sets to get the best out of players...if he was here last yr he would have utilized Whitehead...Demski and likely MCI to an extent to help open things up elsewhere...I could also have seen Brown stick on roster and become a nice piece.... Musta got it in Dubai

we were out coached plain and simple...and has happened a ton the last 3 yrs...we had the horses to get things done....but the horses need to be coached....trained...made aware of what will/won't work...then re-hash it all, with a plan B for when things are being stiffled...we did none of that and were just content to roll with what worked in the past....and it didnt work...thts a sign of a staff with no answer when it happens repeatedly....or a sign of a stubborn staff who think they the smartest in the room....pick which one you want sure we overhauled a bit....but then refused to use them and played way too many sets with Thomas...wayyyy too many...and an absurdly bizzare amount with him and Schmeck...so may as well went with one lineman and drop 11 back.....bringing in new talent an blood is one thing....uses then is a different beast here...that goes with our LB's too
