what about the yr before?...and why not give reps to a young guy with upside to develop....with future if reps should be limited...or give those reps last yr to one of Woods..Fox..Adama when a National on the dline wasnt required for ratio>,,,,Osh just thinks Jake is the cats vaginey for what ever reason and he is wrong about it...plain and simple....If Jake was an import...he's never get a sniff.... which happened way too much last yr.....wayyyy too much Lawson at half of what he was gives more than Thomas....fact of the matter.....if we start Krma again...and run 6 on offence....we dont require a constant Natuional on the dline anyway....especially like last yr when we had 2 guys on roster who were prob 2 worst nationals in the league....and got way too many reps If your gonna waste reps on guts, use it on young guys...Like Samson or any other guy you could have drafted...traded for or picked up off the scrap heap and see if they develop into a productive guy or a guy with upside Heck...we scrap heaped with Kolo who absolutely nobody wanted for 2 yrs ...is undersized....has no exceptional skill to off-set it and just keeps playing and playing....I guess if you are an average at best Canadian who came from a Canadian school and are not highly touted....you have currency with Oshea just watch this yr again....you will see these options....him being washed out and or moved to a spot the oline wants....tippy toe jogging up to the play well after it's over and glad handing with who made the play....the play flying past him as he doesn't have the athleticism or aerobic capacity to get there" and rep after rep of him gasping for life as he gets to the line and has to use his free hand to prop up his head on his facemask in 3 poinbt stance so as not to topple over...and then being late off the snap....

Meddling rarely is succesfull...For all the good Doman is doing...ythat was a major gaff

All that overpaying only to have Campbell sabotage it all wrecking the room and dividing his team with the Rourke nonesense...if only he would have said Rourke is number 2 while he gets readjusted and is there if Vaj can't play or really shats the bed

I believe she just thought he was the one...so I hear lol

Actually I believe grant did 20...or 22....and that was at 177 pounds....He did more at Rutgers pro day than some lineman and linebackers....Gus Edwards their RB as well...Grant is crazy strong...Agudosi told me that in training he would just amaze the strength and conditining staff and players...and was so ow key about *** too he actually is very flexible and quick.....worked out with him a lot...he actually in season does a ton of plyometric style lifts...and static holds against resistance in a squat rack with no actual weight on the bar but maintains force against the pins...part odf reason he has never really been hurt

People don't realize how good it really is...it's not in your neighborhood..oh well if u a fan you will go Maybe some should go to a game in many of the NFL and Ncaa venues...with some with minimal parking...or the high cost parking...the logistical nightmares of some places...the 3 hour round trip to go to a game...some in bad neighborhoods....then reflect on their sojourn to games here and realize ...hey...it's not that bad after all The city is growing to south anyway..so in due time majority of fans will be close

I didnt ***** and complain...and a lot of people I know didnt either.....as well "everyone" didnt either....the people who used to live closer bitched and moaned....their convenience just shifted to it being convenient for others... Anywhere u put a stadium it's gonna be across the city for half the fanbase...if not more....and parking at old place wasnt ideal either.....The logistics of the bussing was a ball drop by the team and the city and the city and there is way more actul parking at new stadium than at old.....Karen is gonna Karen regardless....Karen

yeah....I agree ouch hahahaha I only take issue with lack of education and knowledge and lickers who lick with no backing on it other than ya buts hahaha hahahaha....we good....Your point counter point is based on functional discussion and actual legit reasoning...not the yeah but we went to 5 grey cups garbilly goop tripe as per my post....particularly in-season its now a more functional strength approach and exercises to make body move and function optimally

Sports specific and actually agility/range of motion and functional strength are more key now and what we look at and focus on....as well as explosive strength. People shouldn't get it wrong and that true weight lifting and putting on mass...lean mass...isnt important now...it is....but things have shifted toward more usefull mass. Thats why the 225 bench is kinda ...meh and and not a true indicator of strength and explosive power...more a muscle endurance metric, and really how often are you gonna be doing say a move ...like a punch or true bull rush 15 to 30 times in a row...and in a span of 30 seconds? Seen it time and time again that a 29 rep guy has less power and brute force as the guy who put up say 15 to 20 reps...the lower rep guy most times too can in a 1RM out press a lot of the high rep guys...mainly due to way more effective fast twitch recruitment and in football...especially in the trenches is way more valuable....and we can effectively train guys to hit this and actually get them to recruit a higher percentage of fast twitch As for juicers a pretty easy tell tale sign of it is overly developed traps and neck and really capped shoulders and overall yoke.....Fore arms are a good sign an jaw/face...and the fact they get knicked....a lot....Not saying Toilette is but that nice masking beard, and the fact he always on the limp....as C and C Music factory said...are "things that make you go hmmmm" lol That being said dropping a significant amount of fat tho can give you the appearance of being bigger...and in a pic all by one self and no reference point....ie: another person in the shot can also be deceiving...tho true monsters in a pic look massive...and in person scary...I used to train with Paul Dillett in T.O and MTL ....and pics didnt do him justice....dude was a freak....If you dont know who he is have a google If Toilette is 200 pounds....good luck with that as he was marginally effective as his weight allowed him to be a bull....he lacks speed and finesse...and will prob get beat up more thn ever now....9 games maybe his max....11 if lucky

we already have lost 3 in a row....and shown no ability in all 3 to stray from the pattern od failure...that killed us... lure of new stadium was reason for that people dont put enough emphasis on the amount of pull they allow Osh to have on who he says he wants...and doesnt want...and who he refuses to move on from....Heirachy here is a bit outta whack at times and seems that the guy who should over rule...hasnt been well...was on oppposite end of where lotsa people lived before too....and in a dump...that argument has no weight at all

He was until he got benched ..for real reason...and if it was done due to performance there were probably 3..4 others as well who should have seen the pine...and how's a young guy with serious upside supposed to develop...it's not by benching him and definitely not by playing 2..3 other guys in front of him with inferior skil set and no upside

YOU wouldnt have to rebuild...if you had a solid roster....not much would be needed...and safe to say we do....its how you use said roster, and organizationally how we do business....wouldnt change...so yes we'd be just fine Mike Oshea....all th good and positive he brings...he isn't the BlueBombers and sucess dies without him...nope I played for nice guy coaches...who after 7..8 yrs and not evolving....started to slide...and then fade out with a firing...and life went on...teams had success...some even better success....not a shot at Oshea...just a fact of pro sports coaching....every damn one has a shelf life whether people wanna believe or not...and many have been let go to the shock and shagrin of fans...media....it happens...and it will here too...its not being a hater...just reality...and another flop this yr with same themes as last 3....its time nobody saying right now....but I wouldn't even consider an extension for him till after the season is over....and more of the same....why would we?...and maybe that unknown and possibility of a non rehire would be the elixir needed to have a bit of a shift on how he manages some things...and a bad attitude and less than optimal effort because he didnt get rewarded a new deal prior to current expiring is good reason to also walk away....like a player has to...earn your next payday...no player is gonna get premium pay based on 5 yrs ago work when he has shown decline in the last 2..3...same goes for a coach

he needs to be more intrusive and not worry about the "nice guy" mystique and take control at times...It's part of the job....Our unwillingness for anyone...be it HC ..GM or even prez step in and if anything just say "why" to some of our decisions has ultimately cost us 3 Cups...and before anyone says "yeah but injuries"...well dressing hurt guys...not pulling guys who got hurt and not replacing them in game....and unwillingness to adjut to the game flow...instead just keep hammering away with a flawed scheme and showing no faith in any back-ups to step in...and step up...killed us...and was a conscious decision by...at end of the day..the HC....It's okay to bench guys...replace hurt guys....tell a co-ord to get his **** together or he gonna take control..... or ...maybe the wise ones can look at it a different way eh?...Who the eff keeps a coach in place who has failed in 3 straight championships...for reasons that were common in all 3?...there is that angle as well when head is pulled out of sand and blue glass removed If we were to move on and replace our HC....And due diligence was used in picking one...who is not a moron....an assbag...or Chris Jones...we will be just fine...maybe better...we wouldnt fall off a cliff....

the HC job is to control whats going on...and if things are not Going to plan...figure out why...and do what needs to be done to adjust.....to suggest a HC has no control or say over what is occurring is just false on maNy levels...and an HC who just relies/depends on any coach under him with zero say about it....or no desire to correct things is just a bad HC then....Not sure what some of you'all are watching...or what your knowledge of things are football wise past The pop warner level but the success, and failure of a team....NCAA and or Pro falls directly at the feet of the HC as he controls the narrative...the roster...and the important decisions in a game....and not to be rude but any suggestion other wise is just complete BS Yes I will add a successful HC is basically a product of a savvy G.M and Co-Ordinator's and positional coaches under his employ...and basically he does almost minimal actual work save for the in game decisions ...that being said the exceptional one's will also step in and over ride...make a call and yes...step on toes of people...assistant coaches and players when they just aren't getting it done

and couple of our LB's flailed away all bagged out being useless too there....

the fact whoever penned that drivel made not of Cobb as being an intruiging guy brought in and had to make note of it...tells you all you need to know on how they perceive talent and impact

yeah that school basically encompasses that neighborhood...and its just crime riddled...even the scholl housing in the area is sketchy as heck....Its almost like a war zone....

Peralta-Laney...notorious area in Oakland...know that well...one of the worse ones

even parts of Missouri....danger at every corner....make a wrong turn is ST Lois or K.City and you will get a dose of reality...scary We would recruit guys and train from Cali power houses like Longbeach Poly...Centenial...Inglewood so would get kids from some real bad neighborhoods...good kids but wise beyond their yr's just to survive and in and around Oakland....Eastmont...P-Laney..Freemont....places the Police avoid if they can for most part People up here complain about a lot of stuff...conditions of this and that...bad neighborhoods....They havn't seen the half of it...sad part there is so much athletic talent there that just cant get a chance due to circumstance it's crazy...and sad Placed a lot of young men in JUCO schools there and then onto places like Diablo Valley college...Fresno...Shasta in what is now the Big 8 conference in Cali...working with the NCSA (Next College Student Athlete) if wondering what that is where help is given creating recruiting profiles...finding right fit...access to the resources that they may not have gotten in the recruiting process from no fault of their own...just their circumstance and actually allows them to access what schools and coaches have actually accessed their profiles...pretty good stuff....something sorley needed up here but lobbying for it and trying to get something started up here basically falls on deaf ears

yeah I was saying that not to be a penicular device...Just a word of caution and advice from real world experience knowledge...as odd as it seems.....that word is a real no-no and can be very offensive in some instances, and by the time you realize it you may be waking up in an emerg department....if you wake up seeing as it is off-season and we dont have much else to yammer on about than good natured bickering a lil story.....I lived an played in the Oakland area for 3 yrs....and had some teammates who were straight gang bangers...or were guys with support of their gangs had got out of the lifestyle to try and make it thru sports...so would come to games...and practices as support so got to meet many....and it's a different world with different politics. I would watch guys have total convo's without saying a word but all in sign....and it was extraordinary to say the least. They taught me some lingo but the sight of that, was about the same as the sight of a big white dude trying to cut the rug on the dance floor....you just dont wanna see that! Went on a couple excursions as a "guest" to a few of the neighborhoods for BBQ's ...to say the least I was scared shitless and I rarely scare

thats not even up to date,,,like missing 5 seasons?

and makes more dumb roster and in game decisions...so yeah guess we agree 😉

all i trying to say is stop looking back....look forward and learn from past failures and what did you in...we as an organization havnt the last 3 yrs...and some fans arent either....2021 is eons ago in sports I a fan too...but also a realist....

he was for a spell but Dickhole had his hands all over it....

you keep going on with the yeah but we went to 5 cups....I get it...that "can" be viewed as sucess I guess....why dont you focus on we have stumbled and failed miserably in 3 striaght yrs....due to mainy for no lack of argument the same several issues....and focus on tht and maybe see why things could be tweaked....switched up....phylosophy's changed...maybe a new way of player management/use....which means having adequate depth and actually using them when injury requires it...or faltering play You say a reason is guys were hurt all yr...well where's the depth then?...Other teams had guys hurt too..Heck we got beat in the Grey Cup by a guy nobody wanted...and has had a career of basically nothing...B.C imploded because their HC trashed the room....Sask mainly from a couple dumb Mace decisions and 3 big break downs in their secondary.....coaching faux pas....we then lost a Gret Cup with some dumb HC decions...and some of our own faux pas.....bad coaching when it mattered I wouldnt say we owned anything last yr if I being honest you obviously live in a lil bubble then and are pretty ignorant to what is an offensive comment...Go call random people a goof then, and hope one isnt a biker...a person who has served time...a military vet....a person who has lived a less than privileged life....good chance you will be picking up your chicklets.... Same as whistling a lil tune in prison ...you will get warned once....next time....not so lucky
