Booch

all about the analytics baby!

If I had to chose between Lawler and Schoen....which I am 99.8767755 % certain we wont be I'd go with Lawler Generational type guy who makes plays nobody does......but he needs a supporting cast too...Schoen had early success yes...was that gonna continue at that pace....hell no.....and there are a lot of guys like him if you do your homework....also....he gets pounded an awful lot for some reason....like a crazy amount of abuse.....is that cause he doesn't allow himself to get into a good preventative position to take a pass.....is his route running easy to key on?...none the less he is gonna be in the tub a lot and prob always playing nicked up....How often you see guys like Lawler...Tim White...Geno....and other top end guys get lambasted over and over....not as often as that

he's a youngin eh?...hahahahaha......That being said...I see him as our R.O.Y candidate

A guy also has to want to be locked up somewhere....maybe he intended to leave for 2 yrs...gethis dollars up...get valuable starter play time and come back here in 2026 ...in his prime...and hopefully dropping dimes....there is that angle too

I am.....and about the "that they here cause they give us a chance to win when they need to step in" If you only realistically have a chance to win with only your starter(s) you have a seriously flawed roster.....or no depth....or really poor coaching....or all of the above or a combo of several.....Thats just a ludicrous statement because with that logic the Argo's should have lost....so why did they win then??

no clue....unless they going large in FA on somebody...or somebodies......and likely they already tampered considering they are moving assets

Man on Man Walters....get on the horn and take some talent off the Argo's hands already

B,C says hold my beer with the Whitehead deal

outcoached us x2 well the Argo's OC put together a scheme and game plan and used appropriate play makers to beat the apparent best defense in the league...with a career journeyman backup.....so there is that.....he must have some chops

pretty sure we will be bringin back all receivers with the Mitchell addition save for Whitehead....they want ZC to be comfortable with who he chucking too, and we have seen with new guys....he takes a long time to get comfortable and have chemistry with them....let alone trust them to throw to

please tell him how to block me.....then I dont have the urge to respond to what you just mentioned and take a Canadian off the feild....wheteher he better....or not than said Nationlized...Not on Oshea's watch....never....ever..... Yeah looking/veiwing Jones as an elite guy....solution is a stretch...he is essentially a ham and egger type giy....just with a slice of chees wedged in to make an impact play here and there....but like you said....has some big holes...and limitations for a reg snap MLB....now does this harken to him not being put/coached or schemed to be in right spot and take right responsibilities?....we shall see..maybe part in parcel was still learning Youngers scheme....but in yr 2...another off-seson gfor Younger to tweak/redefine a few things I expect a lights out defense if given the horses....if we see some of the same gaffs tho by some the same guys...to me that reeks of insufficient talent to carry out Youngers vision and we need to upgrade...Save for WJ...Woods...Garbutt...Nichols...Bonds...Griffin....Lawson....nobody should feel safe in their spot being there or just handed to them we better

funny considering when you think about it the Elks set that ridiculous standard

we know wha the plan is based on the last 3 yrs....seen it with Jake...him....Biggie....no competition at all for their spots...it's not a bias by any means...just fact based from what we saw....and really if you listen to Osh post game of Grey Cup and since....he believes that doing something...anything different or second guess a few decisions are not warranted...why would he do a 180 now??... Wilson is a nice piece...if healthy and capable of 18 games right outta the shoot....and puts in the work and time in TC and not just there in body and not participating...same goes for any vet...any player....if you are purposely holding them back because 1) they not totally healthy or b2) you are worried they may get hurt in camp or 3) the thought of an actual camp and full season combined is unlikely so hold them back...then wth are they even here for??? somebody see's and gets it....Osh wont change....been 11 yrs now....and if anything he has gotten worse with some of his stubborn weak traits...

I beat the drum for Wilson all the time if you look at posts...Have said he is our best sideline to sideline player on defence and one of the surest tacklers....never once have I said any thing negative about him...we are better when a totlly healthy and in his prime Wison was on roster....so don't go putting words in my mouth thank you very much But is a 32 yr old guy...who has played 22 games over the last 3 yrs a high priority and be penciled in as th starter with next to no competition?...and or backup plan?...As we have seen that before...with Biggie...Jeffcoat...BA....and others I hope he has put injury woes behind him and at 32 prob could have 2..3 really good yrs in him as he is elite.....I wont bet on it tho....so hopefully he came cheap and they are looking at other options there as well and not just handing the job over

it's an epedemic here...even tho all players are apparently number 1's...and here for a reason....As per Osh......wonder why he doesnt play em

you obviously have no clue.....players will even say it's the coaches who prepared them and had them in the right spots when sucessful..... And missing tackles....can be from ...inferior talent level....and in wrong gap...zone...area...responsibility error where they were put in bad spot to be there to make tackle....you obviously can't recognize a basic set-up or scheme and who is responsible for whom on certain plays...set-ups etc...Have you ever created a playbook....scheme....know th basics of say what olineman are responsible for...on a certain play.....dline man on a certain front...what depth a LB should be in coordination to it....so when he is caught flat footed...or in an improper depth were a smart O.C took advantage of it...and then makes said player look like he missed his tacj=kle from being out of position to make it?....from the depth of your posts and your rebuttals...I'd say no.... yeah...cause nobody is gonna beat the door doen or rush to sign them in early stages of free agency so yeah...real easy....Wilson would be perfect as the DI like Ayers was...and Cole ....not as your defacto guy as he cant be relied on

and so it starts.....l keeping the band together...blocking new blood and further retarding progression and transition another yr Depth guys on a very team friendly deal where they are role guys would be fine, but if out performed in TC then released or PR'd....but this is not a good sign where they were viewed as priority signings before free agency opns up...Can just imagine who's next....Osh must be back from his lil trip

yeah...he makes catches nobody can...and that will be lethal with a good support staff and a QB who can consistantly put the ball where it needs to be...ZC hasnt been that guy of late Poll the DB's in the league about who the best is...and requires most focus....you will get your answer We had more than adequate dline talent....if used correctly and snap counts reflected it....players need to be put in a position...scheme...and coached appropriately to succed....they get the accolades when on point...and criticised when it seems they were whiffing and scuffling....and in both instances that should be put on coaches first...then players....too many people round here put success and failure soley on the feet of the player...its the opposite at the pro level as opposed toamatuer nd collegiate where an elite guy can compensate for poor or minimal coaching But when you add into the mix players past their prime...just not good enough but are fav's...doesnt matter what scheme you run...9 times outta 10 they wont get job done...cause they cant

oh for sure...he is a great talent for the CFL....and will get paid for it....But will also have to fit a teams SMS structure too one would think...

Oshea says all guys give a chance to win...and all are starter material...so is he lying.... And the mindset of "oh gee our QB goes down we have xero chance to win if we replace him....when he cant even grip a ball" is the lamest ecuse/reasoning ever....hero's are made when given a shot...many times in the most unlikely circumstabces Dolegala was no raw rookie.....he would have gave us a chance...and if he didnt whyy did we keep him and release Scott?....who got a ring outta the deal Thats where coaching wins you games...and that yr long coaching and developing...not just rolling along staus quo and then when **** hits fan end up screwed All Wilson needed to do was play within himself...use his legs when needed....which would have opened stuff up fro BO and not force anything...Smae with Dolegala.....ZC couldnt throw...was no threat on the ground....and has a real bad penchant for forcing things...if our back ups arent good enough to come in and slavage a game...get some that can....but we been force fed for yrs they are here cause they give us a chance to win if they have to step in....and they are all starters....as per Osh...so what is it...they good enough?...are you full of ****?...do you believe your own chatter?....I'm surprised the Argo'sdidnt roll out Pervy Boy on one leg....if thats the case..our starter is out we're screwed....considering we rolled out 4 guys in 2023 on basically 1 leg....another instance of not believing your own B.S about every one is a starter and here cause they give us a chance to win

undrafted...canadian....canadian college....unsuccessful already....he has the primo meat grinder anti bias all over him....he will be back in no time if not for camp with someone

Lawler and Schoen will both be back....I like the Mitchell signing as the 3rd option and if his head is on straight and this will be the place to accomplish that then a score for us Lawler has had 2 unfortunate season of derailment.....seeing the folks rag on him saying he wasnt what he was is kind of funny...He's a talent that comes thru very rare...18 games with him....Along with Schoen...Demski and now Mitchell....all proven commodities and BO he will light it up To even assume that we gonna roll into 2025 sans Lawler....with a Schoen who is still a big question mark.... Mitchell....and then a rookie??...or some cheap cast off from elsewhere to go with Demski is pretty foolish thinking in a Cup hosting yr. Mitchell likely is on a very team friendly deal in a re-prove himself yr....and if he returns to his form when he first burst on the scene here...lookout... we have salaries to pare easily....and certain guys who re-upping makes no fiscal sense... yup...Schoen wont be getting paid top 5 in the league....and likely he wont even be on the books first 6 games anyway...Lawler isnt gonna hold us over the coals either...he's happy and secure here...found his spot....pay him fair and dont Jeffcoat him I have a inkling Jackson will be our O.C as well....from what I hear there are 2 guys at the front of the line...him being one.....I do know tho it isnt gonna be an internal hire Schoen has no choice.....has to show he's still capable and he prob gonna be 6 gamed anyway to start As mentioned above...Lawler loves it here...it will be worked out...if it hasnt already and just isnt announced Lawler also has history with Jackson as an O.C and was utilzed nicely by him as the pass game coordinator

exacly....you can just as good or better withan import at half the price tag...we dont need that spot as Canadian....we play moe than we need to anyway....and in doing so, if they are qualityenough to be a starter...then they aint cheap....double edged sword We have big money tied into BO...Biggish in Demski....Neufeld is likely par for the course for a vet canadian....We start one of Eli or Kolo (just puked i my mouth) and neither is breaking bank....Wallace should be given every opp to grab that left Guard spot on an entry level deal and a combo of Clercicus and Woli wont be breaking the bank as another Canadian starter....there's 6 guys there that if anything will cost you about as much...maybe a lil less than any other team really when you think about it We need 1.....make that clear 1 Canadian on defence...thats it.....We use a Canadian SAM....Like to force feed a Canadian DTackle/interior guy tho this yr with Lawson back that should be a bonus....and we used a Canadian at corner...one who will cost us a premium....and we already pay a obscene premium for Kramdi....which to me is poor allocation when any number of imports can offer u the same and likely more at again half the price basically.... We have a knack for scouting db's....we have Parker..Griffin..Nichols...Bridges already here for bargain price save for Nichols...Bonds is on entry....I see no need to pay large for Holm...Ford...Canadian or not as he isn't essential for us ratio wise...so we really need to find one...maybe 2 legit db talents to augment and have on PR Lose Holm....Ford...Thomas...Wilson...Biggie...and youb have about 600k to play with to fill those roles....and all can be filled easily with at least 175/200k to spare if your scouting is legit We have the ways and means to build a solid...actually deeper roster if we have the sense and sensibility to cut ties with big ticket...easily replaceable salaries/play I don't care where our all-stars come from....irrelevant....and all-stars dont always equate to championships....A team of 46 soldiers...all above avaerage and put in the position to succeed with 1...or 2 "all-stars" within them will 9 times outta 10 beat a team with 5..6..7...but garbage all around them hes gonna be 27 as the season starts...and at best viewd as a project down there....thats old for a guy in his position...from a school in canada....undrafted....un already unsuccesful....

Why tho?

Only way we can avoid more of the same is on Walters and if he takes some stuff right out of the equation
