Booch

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

u do realize the "goof" in many circles is a very derogatory term eh?...?? and yeah...I read....and your comment also was a reflection of what I said as well...go...read...digest and the realize it could have been viewed as such som of whom shouldnt have nade it out of camp...there's the rub And not adding talent when you can....just because you have a cart....is pretty lame....No player is gonna get upset about the team getting better other than the guy being replaced...I guess...be better then??...I dunno... he also thjo will ask/influence and make a case to retain guys who shouldnt too...goes both ways...But agree it's mainly up to the G.M in who he brings in....does a coach...and not just here always keep the right giys?....thats a discussion all in itself Walter's tho seems to be sleep walking this yr and signing some guys with a lot of hopium needing to cash in for it to be viewed as a smart and savy move...TBD i'D say more like a few...not lots...and majority of them were due to necessity/injury....not so much we found a better guy...brought him in and up to speed then replaced a player

misread what I ment....Got praise from fans....fans praised him....and I sure he appreciated it to, and yes gave his players the props...what coach wouldnt tho???? yup....as I mentioned above....twisying the narrative I guess

Wilson..Parker..Nichols..Holm..WJ...Vaughters..T.Jones Craig Dicklesson

doesnt matter what he says to media...he still the HC and got praised for it...what are you not seeing...Players will say same...thank coaches for putting them in position to be successful...and their teamates as well....Only real dipshits and guys who dont last long in one place will wrap themselves up in all the glory and spout off about it.... So when things dont go as well....they deserve criticism...Players wont outwardly say "coach effed up and had a bad scheme...and didnt adjust" which is a lot of times the case...or poor roster moves......but believe me they feel that way....Osh when things go bad can't admit he screwed up...and would and does say...."I'd do same thing"...."no...that wasn't reason"..."I like our guys...all starters"....there is the deflecting and protecting guys and not admitting fault....but there is also taking ownership and admitting you screwed up too No coach is perfect and they all have faults that cost them games...Even our Oshea.....all coaches also get stale...flame out...and get fired....and as it stands since 2021...Osh...AND the Bombers as a collective unit have won nothing.....another failure due to similar reasons has to be...and should be a discussion on future.....whether you'all wanna believe or agree with it or not...

Dumping both...as we already have guys on roster to fill their spot....would have enabled us 260k or more to spread elsewhere And really...with Lawson..Samson and Schmeck still here that vacant spot for Tjomas could been used for a Canadian at a different position...ST depth..even positional depth at receiver..db...Canadian punter

That's not his job or role...and that's last thing an organization wants is the Prez or owner getting involved in the team day to day activity...who plays..starts...etc....but will step in when utter incompetent crap is going on...and sometimes behind the scenes and not publicly revealed...I think he has in a few instances had a few conversations too

You obviously have no clue how pro teams work...no offence btw..but u are off base...sure discussion is had...but the HC is the guy who makes final roster decisions based on what he feels best...all things considered...and gets praise for success...which he gets here...and also should get blame and criticism..that's way it is...always You don't know the discussions had...maybe Costello would prefer and lobeyed for Eli...or we go out and get mcewen..but got over ruled Same with defence and if you were to ask Younger or Hall before him if he'd prefer an all import front...heavy dose of legit import difference makers or Schmeck and Thomas getting primo reps...u seriously think he'd want that? Especially with the defence he wants to run he needs athletic and active guys in the trenches..guys with stamina as well...Thomas has none of that.. I'll give Schmeck props as he has a motor and some quickness and athleticism...he just not that good..I would think he is cut in camp if he doesn't show more...or should be That's where you need the foresight to cut bait and recycle away from guys that just aren't cutting it..and take up well above minimum salary...the kolos...thomas'.....etc U are kidding right?

Cause he not a guard...a top 3 ncaa ranked center...doesn't forget how to play...and he hardly got owned...some mishaps when he got emergency dropped in...but figured it out...and playing beside Kolo when you are not a true guard...didn't help either Eli moves bodies...gets to second level seeking to destroy...and is not undersized...kolo does none of that...and is undersized...and an undersized center who isn't athletic...is a severe handcuff Yes...this

Hc decides roster...and who plays and who coaches get as clay to mould

Still better...which makes us better

There were several tho who were better than kolo...

If you can grab a guy...who is better than what you have...or projects better...why you don't pull trigger is baffling...more troubling really...that's how you get a decayed old roster with no fluid transition...kinda like us...clinging to past glory Having bodies doesn't make you over loaded if they are not elite

Cause we good...as per Osh And people need to stop thinking Osh...or many coaches for that matter don't have bias and personal favs for whatever reason that will trump better talent....tho Osh is exceedingly bad at it If an opportunity to upgrade a spot is there...regardless of who it replaces you take it..Is that on Walter's here...or does he allow Osh to have too much sway...influence? Fact of matter there was opportunity to upgrade several areas...and we chose not to...

well...he did ask for assurance he would be allowed to prior to re-signing.....so if the re-nag on that assurance...thats pretty pathetic on the Bombers part

Maier needs elite talent around him...and superior coaching...I see neither there for him is Sask

as do I....I know what he can do...seen it....and if allowed to....will impress our success this yr is gonna be in how we are coached and managed...and if a few question marks come thru....thats how I see it....We aren't a team with the best players across the board anymore in their prime....who are hungry and motivated like 19/21 We have a FEW top o the line guys still....but rest is a mish mash now of guys who showed potential before an injury....are entering 2nd and 3rd yrs and need/deserve a legit opportunity...and a handfull of plugs who are just in the way and in no way shape or form the future....and are in all honesty hurting us more than anything...It's how Osh manages this and how he approaches in game decisions thats gonna dictate our success....I personally have my doubts he will be great in this regard....totaly based on the past 4...5 yrs now

it's never an over pay for a Canadian Oline man...especially a young one who layed well...and still has upside...DB's..recievers....Lb's...there so many churned out in the NCAA you never have to over pay if your scouting and talent assesment once you get them here is legit...other than the every now and then guy who comes along and is a true difference maker,,,then you get them in your room and adjust elsewhere to make it work...You should be able to do that paying 5..6 guys on your roster premium money if you have built a roster wisely..thats active and PR..and other than a real stupid contract...what is an over pay?...especially when we for most part have no idea of the SM structure a team has...That being said Walter's mindset of X amount of dollars to this group...X amount to that and not wavering is a bad practice....you need to be able to recognize where u may get good bang for bigger bucks and be able to adjust accordingly too Harris is probably the most brittle QB in the league...and is a perenial non-difference maker...and aint gonna change that moniker pushing 40 yrs old

be a bitter slap in face if we scuffle all yr...get a cross over spot and get bounced by Hamilton with all those guys playing a key part...if that was to happen wonder how the knee benders will spin taht here

not my view...teams may "get" it....they dont depend/rely/base anything on it....there are different grading methods used which carry actual weight and take actual metrics of what was going on..what was called..assignment issues/responsibilities....etc and again....discounting their eye for talent then?,,,they were raved about when here as bird dogs....and big losses......maybe it more a fact they know skill, but had a HC who didnt see it himself?...hmmmmm kinda contradicts he knows what he doing part eh?...lol

well for one.....we have no proven depth now out side of WJ..Vaughters...are Woods and Adams gonna continue with development....and...are they gonna get the reps to facilitate it.??...they need to play to do this....not get sprinkled in here and there for probably 2 of the worst Canadian interior dlineman in the league...bar none....name 2 others in the league that get the reps they do that are worse?.....and Is Lawson gonna be back to form out of gate...or early into the season...or at all???....big question marks there I like to go back to the comments that all the guys we let walk and got immediately signed in the league even before free agency started were no loss...insignificant....easily replaced....not good enough...well they were all starters or regular role players here last yr....doesn't say much about us then last yr in who we rostered now does it?... sadly...Godber who they dumped would be an upgrade over who we have currently probably already pencilled in as our starter

dont look at PFF...Anyone with any football back ground wont thats just your assumption....but I agree likely....Our oline depth tho is severely compromised now and thin... I not even sure in the grand scheme if 3 imports makes us better, as we eat up an import spot then from defense or ST's/Rotation somewhere...and do we need to roster another import oline guy as a DA further weakening the over all roster? If Eli gets to take over at Center keeping KOLO as the 6th is a bad move as he only can play center...he's useless anywhere else in addition to being a weak center...so not a good 6th we have some issues...to may ifs and buts right now...camp will be interesting Maybe we holding back some cash right now for a draft day deal or 2....that could fix a few things right there

none of them should have been an over pay....so damn good thing

I wasnt talking bout first....but in second they still payed the salary...and we didnt trade for anyone cause???...oh yeah..."we good"...Flo was up for trade....we didnt land it..McManus yuip is good....reeeaaaal good...we didnt offer an offer too good to refuse why???...and if we payed premium....there is ways to mitigate it...Release Thomas...Move Kramdi to Mtl and play Parker there at prob half the cost.....where there is a will...there is a way...we have lost the will it seems...to compacent..too comfortable...too many consecutive season ending failures...u see the connection?? Other teams had rookies play...and play well....Schoen was off the books basically from start of season and we knew he wasn't coming back...there was 200k to play with there via trade....signing in U.S that would come if payed...we stood pat There was a lot....Coulda traded for Flow...Yeah Brinkman...Hendrix...even Oakman would have been a get....Rhymes...Lewis as well...in a deep group...great get....Adeleke..Couture..Mcewan...any punter not maned Sheehan...Kongbo was available...Bolo would serve more use than Cobb.... again....when there is the will to get better....there are many avenues to do it why not....its always been a young...key Canadian Oline guy is gonna cost you a premiun...even more than clearly better Imports....it is what it is...Neuf is on down side...and been knicked....so paying a dDobson or the likes more is standard business....Christ we wayyyyy over pay for what we get at SAM....Thats ludicrous, maybe if he was best in league and a perenial all-star difference maker...but he aint...wasteful when you can fill that role with a cheaper import...and better Our allocation is way out of whack and it hinders us elsewhere.....Half a million in BO and Demski....600k a QB in decline....prob 500k in 2 db's and a SAM....over 100k in a DT that should at best take no reps....and isnt even needed for ratio.... Who's starting at left guard...and who is the back-up...are we wasting a roster spot on a 7th oline guy again...and if so..who?...right now it would like it has to be an import so again...a colossal waste of a DA spot...again!! Who is the rotational d-end that isnt a place holder....Vaughters would have been great as the 3rd guy to rotate with WJ and..whomever....as it stands will be a raw rookie...or we put JT out there again??...good god! Interior dline...wheres the stud/difference maker??...we didnt have one last year that got to establish himself tho I believ with majority of reps Woods and Adams could be great....our dline is weak right now...and just because we have "bodies" doesnt necessarily make it deep.. Who's pushing the punter...or is he defacto the guy......Schoen..White...Lawson..Strev...all question marks until proven they are healed...and/or what they were...wheres the contingecy plan there?...we have a lot of work to do and TC like I mentioned better be an actual real..open competition with the best man winning...regardless of nationality...vet status or tenure here

T.O spent a lot on Perv boy...Flo...Ceresna...McManus....among a few others....and have 2 cups outta 3 to show for it....both against us btw.... We spent big bucks on guys we retained...past their usefulness or on the decline...maybe money would have been better spent replacing them and then retaining them...I dunno...just spitballin 😉
