Booch

he getting the KBS and Lenius courtesy look only based on physique.....and will be back in no time like they were as they are sub par route runners and pass catchers....and frankly....not nearly good enouh compared to what comes out of the NCAA every yr

actually not to beat a dead horse but it was 4 guys that were useless due yo injury.....3 of whom shouldnt even had dressed...Demski could hace had use if anything as a decoy if we used 4 other healthy guys.....but even then he was about 50 percent

was gonna say...not top 3 and no way or means the reason for any defensive turnaround here either...he's decent in the box and crashig down...horrible in coverage and is not a good open field tackler either.....

thing is...the way Osh coaches his fav's...they can be significantly inferior and will still be handed the spot with no real competition....we've seen it every yr If one his guys don't get hurt and can literally not stand up...they get the reps....even last yr...rushing Wilson back and then he gets a new injury so severe he couldnt play....in a walk thru basically...he just wasnt ready and I have heard that from guys inside the room....and to make matters worse in his wise roster creating he never brought a guy "just in case" and we ended up playing a player short....totally inexcusable and not an issue a 10 yr coach who gets incessantly praised about he does nothing wrong and ya but's galore should make... WE all know right now Jake can...and will look like the worst of the lot for DT's this camp...but who will be lined up for first snap on defence...and taking up a roster spot of a younger...better Canadian with upside? Jake

he was here for over a onth...a CFL vet....I sure he knew the basic route tree in the CFL and where the holes in a zone were.....he could have played with 1 week here really.....the fact he could just play anywhere...and run posts...fades ,..out and up roayres or deep crossers somebody would hae had to cover him or else we would have been gouging them for gaping amounts of yards....he wasn't some raw rookie And that playbook isnt that complicated, and if it was...it obviously caused issues all yr as for most part ZC passing game was crap......or....is it ZC being the issue...again...excuses are for......... and the the 2022 yr...ZC couldnt move...run...or properly plant to throw effectively....yet he took every bloody rep....we dont learn...well somebody on the staff doesnt...1 yr...i will gave a guy a pass....2 yrs...hmmm...maybe it was a flukey anomoly...3 yrs....hell no.....and from looks of some early signings...lack of rounding out a coaching staff....i see yr 4 of.....who knows but a lot of the same maybe if we had a full healthy roster on offence....it wouldnt have even been close by that point...maybe 5 game ready recievers would have made 5..6..7 extra first downs.....opened stuff up for the run game?....u fail to look at the whole picture......hamstringing the offence...and playing a useless Bighill wrere major factors in the game when u add up all the cumulative plays...also dumping a proven vet and playoff performer db who had seen that pattern we got beat on probably 1000's times for a gut with flashy INT stats.....but penchant for getting beat bad gane in and game out didnt help either or dress one...BOLO....and not give him a single rep....while 3 guys limped around....and nary got a look by a defender because they could let them catch a short underneath pass and then just close on them for minimal to no gain....

mmmm.....greasy lol I hear ya tho...

and that is a major flaw with a guy sucking up 600+k,.....major...and should be adressed...worked on....and if he just can't/wont....ride the pine a bit....again....circles back to coaching or lack there of

why not be great...to totally off-set an underperforming offence....there's an idea 😉

A pro QB should be able to throw to anyone who is running the designed routes....saying they don't have chemistry and thats why they failed is just an excuse....chemistry is nice and can make for the ordinary play become extraordinary....but running the offence as schemed a pro QB who is good...will fit it in even if a fat oline guy has to throw on a pinny and play receiver...if he where he supposed to be...the QB will find him....excuses are for losers...always have been...always will be

No pron...after reading the post I seen how it could be looked at like player wise....which it wasnt....good players...for most part but were not coached to put them in best positin to win those games.....and they can't go rogue so.... it all runs thru HC tho.....and it's also up to HC to make a change if things go off rails and the co-ordinator is not adjusting....HC also makes the roster I bet if Younger got carte blanche with roster for defense it would look a lot different

outclassed coaching wise....not player/characterwise....you cant deny it...Mass and Dimwittie outcoached Osh 3 straight yrs

Bighill hasnt been prime for 2.5 yrs and I agree we can attract giys...and find them for that matter Issue is being out coached and out classed...and not playing the better player in key spots

oh I agree....but we beat a weeak and poorly coached weak sister...then got schooled by a really well coached team....and this yr looked really bad in doing so.....we aint no lock without some serious tweaks and changes...and especially if Osh continues Oshin'....reg seson wins mean jack....so they yeah buts about the record before the game that matters most is moot...and doesnt need to be mentioned....as it meant diddly 3 yrs running we have seen first hand a good team...put in a positio to win with top players who arent over the hill can win a cup without hosting a Final...and even not even hosting a game

Ambles and BOLO would have offered more than Demski..Bailey and Schoen in that game as for nothing but the fact that they could actually run with authority and garner attention....any discussion that replacing 2 of them with healthy bodies wouldnt have made huge difference is just a flat out idiot......or an Osh nad licker...or both Once MTL realized they were basically ineffective and could give a huge cushion and basically ignore, to more or less neutralize B.O and Lawler and know ZC would start to force things was the game right there.....it was a close one score game .....so imagine a couple of guys in lineup who could have made plays.....and points we didnt get..... Same as last yr....1 score game.....do you think anyone of the back-ups and maybe Buck adjusting what he was doing...which wasnt working anyway would have again made a difference.....instead of keeping a QB in who couldnt do anything?....like shake your heads man....

yeah....based on our last playoff performance...why should we be a lock....esoecially if we end up brnging back most of the gang who have failed in 3 straight....and we know if Biggie wasnt injured and not gonna be ready...he's been signed before xmas This yr the west in my opinion gonna be wide open....and if we start the season the same way...same mentality and with the leisure suit and sensible shoes style of camp we put forth last yr...I dont see us hosting a playoff game which also was part of our failure

Blink gave 100 percent efffort on every snap and his fast twitch muscle was insane....like mentioned could stop/cut/change direction on a dime and be top speed in 3 strides...wasn't overly fast, but his acceleration allowed him to create distance immediately Also for a small fry who avoided the gym like the plague he was insanely strong and didnt matter...bigger guy...small agile guy he could juke em....run em over....or jusy power thru a mass of bodies....never went down on first contact definately a generational talent and if he came along in the mid to late 2000's...with training and expertise available now...and took advantage of it....man what could have been

we were Oshin.....and losing....x3

which is extremely stupid...especialy with Free agency right away...and needing to have something installed scheme/playbook wise by may....like wtf

nailed it

and rarely healthy....looks like Tarzan....tough like....I think even Jane had higher injury tolerance

Suitor I think truly thinks Harris implemented that all on his own and is tutoring others on it.....fricken tool

well now the Rider's running backs will "press the line" like mofo's!! hahah....Suitor won't stop yammering on about that anymore...sadly any back with good coaching does that....Harris didnt invent it lol

Yeah he hardly a pillar....and wasnt as "important"to the teams turn around as an influence as a lot would like to claim here I also defended him...originally on the PED stuff....but some digging and talking I don't now....also his play...and over all appearance after the issue slowly eroded away too.. BO is more the player...teammate and person and we lucky to have him even to it's costing us

Yeah Ambles...and being a CFL vet and familiar with the league could easily have slid into lineup and been effective

Nahhh.....expect Lawler 1 yr deal confirmed somewhere before Free Agency opens....Mitchell and Lawler will be a nice combo while we allow time for Schoen to rehab fully yeah...Non-Priorities like Gauthier and Wilson...and pointless signing of Thomas is gonna screw us in re-signing some of our younger guys with even more upside and yrs of service ahead of them....unless we plan to disregard the salary cap we aregonna have to replace some with likely less upside....probably not as good potentially and for minimal savings We got a boatload tied up in a minimal amount of guys and have probably now the most expensive secondary now which should be your lower teir price point group and save for Nichols only one real elite guy...thats not good...especially when we havnt solved linebacker and right now only have Gauthie, Jones and Wilson ....2 of whom are really average at best...and who knows what Wilson we get
