Tis true...I have no faith tho that an unknown will get a true shot...and we just lean on broken down and inadequate stuff...we've seen that so g and dance before There no reason a fresh face can't come in and be impactful..this notion they all need a yr or 2 of seasoning is garbage I banged the Garbutt drum all 2023 yr he should have been given a shot...never happened...a yr on the inactive roster didn't make him arguably our best all.arpund de this yr...playing did Same this yr with Person...he is an even better player...actual true impact guy and was a legit NFL rush specialist projection but some teams wanted him to pack on weight and he didn't want to. Not worried about db ...Parker resigned tells me he is healthy and is prob our best db not named Nichols anyway...and with him..Griffin..Nichols.. and Bridges that's a darn good 4 to.choose from without even factoring in what the scouts find or free agency Paying large for a db when we already pay top dollar to Nichol and Kramdi...and Ford if we keep him which I think will be a reach is allocation too much money in a position group that should be one your cheapest sms wise

Did the players dress injured guys over healthy options...nope...did players decide to keep a qb in Game who couldn't grip a ball...let alone throw? Nope Did players run a scheme that wasn't working and failed to change it with adjustments? Nope All things that contributed in losses...key things....who made those calls? Answr that Coach did say they all starters and are here purely cause they give us a chance to win games...yet even he doesn't follow that narrative

If he was low balled yup...but proceed with your know all

Or good.game planning...in game adjusting...sub par rostering and playing injured guys over others you claim are starters and are in building cause they give us a chance to.win games

Would of looked good here...we could have easily shipped off someone Yeah...moving away from some.money to likely better themselves with new..younger talent..aka not standing pat even tho they have won 2 of last 3 cups...that's how u continue to stay on top...maybe while osh is off on his mentoring excursion and not dialed into his duties here in a key time some of that Toronto way of.doing stuff rubs on to him...or maybe a light bulb goes off

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
