Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Booch replied to Atomic's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
its been 12 season...not just past 3...he was able to skate by cause he had a loaded roster and guys in their prime....he hasn't the last 3...4 yrs...and it shows Waltr's saved his bacon with savvy FA signings and a solid recruiting team...and the gentle push to basically say...Nichoils is here...he best be starting next game That didnt happen he woulda been gone in yr 4....5 latest as said above....100 percent.... yup...and re:Thomas....he not even serviceable at that...why?....like he shouldnt even be here now...or last....let alone next...so whats the point? he's not the future and far from the now...dumping him off the roster won't make us a weaker squad...allow a young player to develop there with sparingly being used until they progress...and really with ratio a DT isnt even required....go find a legit DB/Rec/LB (tho we already have 2) and develop them..... -

we already have 2....who offer more, could we find better....for sure and we should always be trying to find better...at every position and this loyalty of favoritism to a coach's fav...or a guy who been here a few yrs is the root cause of how you go from the top...to "not the top" in lickity split fashion and degrade your roster...depth...and yes attitude and loyalty to club from players...Lawson a Canadian offers more...and actually before Schmeck got hurt in a situational role even offered more....but..........we know the but And the value the HC has on certain aspects of a player trumping talent/potential/versatility also gets you what you see when you compound it with the aforementioned...and gets you a roster chalk full of ST guys who have no value beyond that....and forces you to play underperforming vets, and injured guys... -

big difference between tackles....and plays....seems to me a lot here would say player X on a different team wasnt as good as the stats seemed to indicate even tho high in league if not leading in tackles...and they are not necessarily wrong....but if it is a case where it's to defend Osh it justified I dont care about T.Jones tackles....I am tho of his poor drops in zone going up free catches constantly...his over pursuit and missing tackles in space as he plays at times out of control I also look to meeting guys in the hole...stopping plays for no yards or loss...plays he scrapes an takes down a player for minimal gain...not where it's giving them a 2nd and short He doesn't make the impact plays...the game altering ones.....doesnt meet the ball carrier first or dictate anything really ....he's good at having play come to him, not the other way around.....he's not a complete impactful LB by any stretch and has more holes in his game than positive attributes....Does J.Jones have moe...based on skill set alone and his work in T,O yeah....did he show it here...no.....didnt get the chance...but that being said he showed more in pre-season than T.Jones did, but like him..Thomas..Kolo...Kramdi (tho he actually got bumped from sam) their spots were cemented pre-camp regardless what anyone else did People yap about the game J,Jones played and had no defensive tackles....yet was the best defensive game we put forth all yr...coincided with moving Kramdi and Person actually getting a lot of reps Like a good DB maybe teams were staying away from him...nobody seems to look at that...also if you watch the tape he was perfect on his drops and where to be in space so there was no free pass in his area....subsequently T.Jones was able to play better in his drops as he saw the depth he should be J.Jones was removed.....Person went back to 6...7 reps again and until last game the defence never looked as good as that game Some times its not all about "stats" and what you think you are seeing This team is saddled with players playing as a personal choice of Osh and it's not necessarily due to true actual on field talent that translates into a game....works to an extent when you are loaded across the board with talent (2019-2022) but we aint now Flame away flamers....I expect nothing less from the licker of the boots -

mis-used -
honestly tho we should try and get Woli back for a bag of tape and balls for stretch rin...Ham not using him and he would easily take Corcorans spot on roster and actually be useful and is also a receiver that ZC and Strev trust....and we know how key he was in rungame especially when the weather gets cold
-
this staff is mystified and enamored with a shiny bobble like kids with a new toy that seems awesome If a player they deemed was the best makes a one play or has a game where they put up numbers....signed sealed and final...entrenched full time even if they go game after gae...week aftr week of crap....Takes an injury to be removed...and even then...we tend to play injured guys...not hyperbole either...facts

he got hurt....Didnt lose it...then they went Canadian in the spot, and hence no room for him and or his salary...wasnt a performance base thing I dont think they really even had a plan....just cling to and hope the past resurfaces...again......that ship has sailed on many aspects of the past, and I also truly don't think Osh is a good evaluator of talent...he definately values some things over talent...and those things don't translate on the field to the best players -

Likely wanted to be freed from here and said no more..he won't be teamless long -
actually....Neuf can, and prob be a damn good center even at his age and a career extender for him...He has seen every front ever in the cfl so he'd have no issues making out the clls And in all honesty he has played really well all yr at guard...a few moments of wtf but that happens to any oline guy, and also chalk a lot of that up to with what was going on with our OC and system, and not to harp again but an actual center who could do the job, and both guards look worlds better too
-
technically you could just remove him from roster and play a man short even and be better....as the reps he took would go elsewhere But yeah...we need 1 Canadian on field at any given time on defence...so he's easily replaced Constant rotation is what we do, a lil excessive in my opinion as doesnt allow guys...especially dline guys to get in the game flow....but when we do it ad nauseum with inferior Canadians when you could use an import...whats the point Games where we give up gobs of yards...difficulty getting off field and zero pressure on the QB just making it worse...it is when we have Thomas and Korn (tho he gone now...again) kelly...Hallett in whatever combination on the field...when we only need Krmdi and or Lawson Same with that stupid front we run with Thomas or Lawson on the nose, and one the edge....and we flip flop them in this setup too...Both do nothing on the edge...and when Thomas is on the Nose.....useless...pushed back...spun around...washed away...or put on the ground Packaged with Pickett Package up a Thomas and Kramdi....do them a solid and get em closer to home and toss in a 2nd round pick I'm sure if Thomas is that good then a team would jump at that glue pot he carries under his jersey....no? same trip he was on when T.O traded Flo away for a sack of tube socks and some pine tar

she should have been part of the rule change announcement if it's fan's they wanting to bring in...Kate will be no longer on panel but placed 10 yards behind tsn studios -
Big litmus test will be ho we come out if the bye....and if we put together another game like that....we seen too many great games...followed by complete ineptness....so gotta see some trend start here first. But if we are starting to trend....getting healthy, and in my opinion still a tweak or 2 to really be super solid then this could be our turning point Like you said...Harris is Harris and when the leaves start to fall...so does he....and i have zero reason to believe that Mace is a coach to lead a team to a Cup Adams....is he reverting to bad VA at worst possible time?.....that being said...Mills is as solid as you can get and they may be getting Begalton and Henry back a the best possible time for them Last 3...4 games of yr in west gonna be interesting indeed
-
And...they still have Harris and Mace...lethal combo of just not good enough....plus Lauther likely blows a game for them...hes been brutal
-
If we actually target him...and maybe we are gonna now?
-
Yeah hes forsaken his mindset always going for the big shot...or forcing....he maintains this...we be looking good
-
Yup...adams and Harris both reverting to their mean....and really riders were not as good as that record anyway Maybe we win out...they lose out...we slide into first...wouldn't that be a kick lol
-
3rd
-
Wilson definitely opens up space for others ...huge pickup...now if we only had eased schoen back slowly and were integrating him now...
-
Great game all around...best of yr...we about to run?
-
Woodbey again...heat seaker
-
We just need to use him like CGY uses Vaughn..short yardage...TE...but we can also have him in backfield..slot...out wide...perfect 3rd qb and develop a in waiting guy at 2...and he can still give u starts if u need it
-
Told u...give it time
-
Yeah...he cant run
-
See that's how to utilize strev...mix it up

Wallace is a dozer
