2024/2025 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread
Booch replied to TBURGESS's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
3 yrs I believe been the norm I'm also fine moving on from Ford if need be if he wants the moon.....He isnt vital to the ratio as we can easily start 7 guys plus the nationalized guy easily....and his 145...165k or slightly more would go much better served on a young Canadian Olineman if available in FA....or a guy like Ceresna or another difference making interior dlineman if they hit market Ford at entry level deal was a nice lil luxury....but moving forward prob not worth it.....especially if you need that spot for ratio your backup to him is gonna be a severe downgrade....big salary stuck there isn't the best bang for your buck especially when you can find unlimited import talent to play there in the U.S for half the price....we have no issues finding them. -

If not in plans sure...there's a handful of players that shouldn't even be internally discussed at being brought back...even on the cheap...they just don't make us better and just slow down the process of transition and maintaining our place on top...he has before touched on certain guys who won't be offered a deal...or be brought back...but they were not in the group of one of Osh's Boi's...and the fact it wasn't touched on or mentioned discussions are gonna be had with what long in tooth...or just not good enough anymore players may be moved on from is red flag worthy.. -

If ZC is gonna be the QB then signing Lawler and Schoen is a priority at whatever cost..he gonna need as many studs around him as possible -

Management..coaching...players...eventually get stale and don't work...happens...reluctantance to change too is generally a death sentence People fall back to the argument yeah won 2 grey cups...5 trips...yeah so what...it's easily argued part of this regime was directly responsible for 3 flops too...goes both ways and in a what have u done for me business...they have failed in 3 straight seasons now...a 4th for falling back on old dumb habits and ideals should be the see ya later thanks for everything Bringing back and labeling Thomas...Biggie...Wilson...BA...at minimum as starters and key pieces is a sign that nobody above the coordinator's have learned a thing -

Strev will be back...and 6 games won't even count on cap...he's a key signing as much as many seem to think otherwise...and a new OC will be a godsend to him I'd like to see him used as more than the 2nd/3rd string guy...utilize his cap hit on teams..in 2 QB offence...in backfield...punt team as Prukopp was used...be ideal for fake punts if he always out there Groom Wilson as the heir apparent...get 2nd string reps...let Strev run jumbo...stuff on teams and unique offensive schemes...the times buck put the 2 qbs out there it was pointless -

He definitely is ahead of many first yr guys...Brown was tentative and skittish..looked like a scared rabbit If u didn't know better you would think Wilson had a few yrs playing...with reps and schemes built for him we may have something I also liked in pre season his ability to sprint out and throw on run too... -

Booch replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I like what I've seen in limited action...showed more than Brown his first yr He seems to have poise and comfort in pocket to stick in there and let a route develop...definitely has the arm to make any throw too....and is mobile...now we just have to have the right people work with him and develop it. We did it before with Brown so we can do it. If he is allowed to get play time this yr coming up...real play time...he is gonna be way ahead of where Brown was going into yr 3. -

I'd take Mclkeod Goofy Thompson her as the back-up tothe starter....let Wilson continue with jumbo and have some set packages for him to evolve with over the yr.....and actually run him out there...as opposed to how we generally do it and not let the backups get any meaningful reps.....seeing how well that served us this Grey Cup I bet we had MBT at QB in Grey Cup we would have won which should make people not put much faith into...or belief in this rhetoric Osh feeds us that "they all number ones"..."they are on roster cause they give us a chance to win games"..." they in the building because we like them".....yap yap yap.....if he truly believed it himself he wouldn't run out aged vets....hurt guys.....guys who shouldn't even be dressed....obviously he doesn't believe it, or he would use back-ups....and healthy young guys -

Alexander shows promise...not sold on him yet tho.....going full in with an unproven with no vet around could be a slippery slope to be on....be an interesting off-season of coaches and QB's tho -

Was gonna say...Augustine has really developed into a well rounded and more than just an average ST guy. Typical example of a Canadian trained kid needing extra yrs in the CFL to actually develop if allowed to. Had he went the NCAA route he would have came in so much further ahead and likely grabbed a starting role somewhere or at the least a guy who got 5 to 10 non garbage time touches a game. But in order for us to surround ZC with Uber talent for him to succeed as it's basically a certainty we hitching wagon to him...and at this point he needs a solid...vet/familiar group around him it prob means Augustine will hit the market. Interesting convo on Winnipeg Sports Talk with Hustler and Hamilton today in regards to things that have failed us...and touching on management mismanagement and that it appears Osh has too much say/control than he should...and it's hurting us due to his way of going about stuff...I couldn't agree more and see that too...and in convo with some people related to team have heard that sentiment too. It's definitely an issue that needs to be corrected...if anything adresssed...if you look it up on YouTube it's worth a listen for the Bomber discussions -

I hope we integrate an offensive quality control guy....or like u said a game day passing/playcall co-ord to work alongside the OC I also wouldnt be too quick to say no to LAPO.....as he seems like a guy who does like/want to evolve and seems to have the mindset to use what you have....and to its best\ Stick him to just the task of the offence....with a right hand man with him...I see no issues with that at all really....sometimes old can be new.... -

Somewhat...or lack of coaches recognition of guys who aren't grasping things and making changes...we have a bad habit...I call it a flaw of whoever we break camp with...is it...and rarely change...bring in new talent in season... which u should always be doing...or give guys pushing for a spot...or even reps the opportunity...Osh figures that who he picked is the be all end all come hell or high water...and they are not. More a getting lucky and finding guys that just get it...Schoen studied and practiced CFL intricacies before he got to camp and jumped him to the fore front...plus he's just good too Sometime coaches need to recognize guys need time to learn and pull them off the field as opposed to try and make it happen on field to detriment of team..same with older guys who are just not getting it done consistently...we fail badly in that area... -

I ain't a bullshiiter and will take accountability...and I learn and adapt...we far from similar then Yes...and no...but don't be too sure about lilipops and rainbows...all good things eventually come to an end..no one said this is the end...but could be the start of things tho...it happens
