ZC is out to lunch on keeping core together.....but also depends on who the "core" is tho BO....Peterson...Pokey....MCI....Clercius....Demski...Eli...Wallace...Randolph...Vpool...Those should be considered core guys for offence....and not all necessarily pencilled in as defacto starters....some could be that actual legit depth if we can obtain better Demski needs to be 2A/2B in that group of receivers, Pokey can be the legit #1 but we need another legit top end guy to run shotgun with him....If we can't swing a trade, or sign a legit free agent QB1 if there is even one available then ZC can be back....but big "of" attached to that....If we actually can Hogan and get a legit OC....Have a legit group of weapons so ZC doesn't have to zero in on one guy and force things, and rely on heave and hope. The biggest if is he needs to be head and shoulders better than any QB in camp, and since we tied to him anyway if it is as a mentor Backup QB and solid back-up then so be it...and if he not happy with that then cut him free....as not sure what his "options" are and thats not a good attitude you want on a team trying to right the ship instead of a total teardown...and just reeks of the gifted country club atmosphere here we need to evaporate immediately There will be more than ample legit free agent targets this yr....so open up the wallaett....be open minded to what you can do with ratio and grab the best available...pretty simple....we dont need to roll out how we deploy ratio as we have for the last 5 yrs...as it's basically took us out of the running for a lot of talent we could have had, and just encouraged us toi keep a lot of out garbage too many yrs well past their usefulness I'm fine with WJ coming back...but as that vet glue...accessorily...reputation....Mentor...whatever you need to call it guy role and really he wasnt as bad as many like to think and my thoughts it's more of scheme and what they asked of him, as opposed to eroded talent...and if you are asked to hang around the line...and act like a volleyball player at the net then yeah at times you gonna look like loafing and just pointless out there....But we need young...active....complimentary ends eating up 60...70 percent of snaps and you rotate WJ in and just turn him loose Other core on defense..Ayers..Woodbey..Lawson...Woods...Smith...Shay...Nichols...Griffin.....Bailey...Allen (The 3 young ends...Jenkins/Person/Jaworski and let the best 1...or 2 make it out of camp if we dont find a FA end to be the lynchpin) after that we need some revamping....And again if we cant scout our own guys...there will be many available....and like with offence...Rigitity of ratio as well on defensive side of the ball is just a handcuff Kramdi for what he offers...and costs...is just not good enough and isn't helping things...Holm sure he got the MODP award here...not sure how but he is soft and flawed too....in a different role sure maybe he core...and would still love to see him as a "centerfield" type safety and become a picking machine Parker...Lawson JR....an the rest of the smurf clan can kick rocks....time to loose this love of theses apparent "athletic" lil waifs and roster some playmaker guys who can win battles with the 5'11" and taller receivers...we see too much bullying and lack of physicality in our backfield allowing drives to continue....we have the least physical/intimidating group in league Most importantly....our best course of action is to move on from Osh.....keep the rest intact as I am certain he isnt changing his ways...or even knows how too...an if we see no improving next yr....move on from G.M I didnt watch or listen to any of the post game drivel he may have said so not sure what his "take" was....but whatever it was I an sure was a load of crap as per usual I wanted a win...expected a loss....and stated before playoffs reason why, and that coaching ...decisions related to coaching and rostering would be our demise "of" we got to playoffs....and well wasnt far off the mark We came out uninspired...poorly prepped....out schemed right outta the gate and had an inferior roster as to what we could have had....sure we had a little spurt in the 3rd....but did anyone really think we would maintain it and hold that lead?...I didnt as much as I hoped we could have And biggest thing....no feet dragging this off-sesson...as soon as the Cup is handed off to the winning team captain it should be announced this coach is fired....that this coach is not being asked back...and player X...Y....Z....Heck...throw in A...D..M...P as well is not part of 2026 -
And no fear of being sat/benched if u a mainstay or coaches fav...doesn't help matters
-
Sure the D at times has given up not huge points...but also can't get teams off the field...and keeps our offence off...so net positive is minimal U need to kill drives...gets losses...sacks...pressure caused turnovers...and we dont
-
Again..the appearance of another poorly prepared...woefully uninspired and already outschemed squad..and that's before halftime adjustments Clean the house Mr miller
-
Nobody said they want them to lose @Goalie but many are right about a lot...and again this roster...and lack of depth...youth....fire...is par for course with osh of late in playoffs...sucks to be right and complaining about it...isnt unwarranted by any stretch...
-
Nice to see the zero pressure package back in fine form...JT gobbling up every snap
-
Yup...and we did it with him i. 2023 cup Did osh smarten up...not likely.. its probably the pro in Demski and putting team first saying that he not comfortable or confident he can play
-
Cause they know what an idiot oshea is from previous playoffs... What i wanna know is what the thought process was to use Corcoran over Clercius...sure he know superstar but makes his plays...can offer a physical mismatch and presence...has had some big catches...did nothing to work himself off the starter spot Corcoran offers none of that...still makes rookie mistakes...is a mismatch really to nobody and is slow AF
-
If Osh actually doesn't play Demski..which he shouldn't be it will probably be the most intelligent and best decision he has made in his time here Too bad he mitigated it with the Corcorran/Cobb decisions re: ratio and his piss poor defensive front roster...
-
Woli almost left...was gonna before his 2nd deal but players talked him out of it Bolo scramned and was pissed after 2023 Grey cup when 3 recievers...Bailey.. demski and schoen couldn't even run and he stood on sideline all game and got no snaps..after game he said he was gone And there are others...and fact we pay guys who basically are not worthy over younger guys who could have serious potential so they have to leave cause its a "apparent money issue" is just a joke and excuse.. players talk..small community and many know in order to have real opportunities here..extended reps and ability to up yiur dollars with play and accumulated stats and film...if you don't fit a certain "criteria" or are battling with an Osh holdover/fave who is a lesser player as well...then this is not your best option...believe it if you will...or don't...you all have your own choice and opinion...but also...don't kid yourselves either Jeffcoat retired from being lowballed...and didnt wanna play elsewhere...he had good offers from sask and cgy...and said no Payed fairly...he would have been back Fox is not a fringe players in Hamilton...he had been real good...Garbutt wasn't either and looked good but git hurt and been out all yr
-
Believe what u want...but yes guys decided to leave here and it wasn't soley chasing the buck tho we did/do lowball some guys figuring we had this draw...which we dont really have now ...tho they did get paid where they went... If some slug flukes out and has a one off game...I'm not gonna accept an "i told u so" chatter...as its means jack I think that's our only real chance in playoffs...save for a BO...Pokey...WJ...any other whipping boy pulling off a one off game better not have that save their seat at the table next yr if we bring Osh back...as we all know he will
-
Yeah.....always enjoy game day regardless of the warts and all And for some reason....Is this the first time for a team to go thru the East on the crossover...to play in the Cup in their own back yard...a team thats been hemorrhaging crap and seems to be clueless at the coaching level and flawed to the core??....Kinda writes itself for the unexpected shock story It also set's up for an utter embarrassing loss that showed the backing into the play-offs was just lipstick on a pig and glossed over the blatantly apparent issues...with similar themes from previous 3 flops key in the floppage....and same fatal error's and allows us to clean the slate and install new blood at the top......which will we get???

Battle was better...could do more...but can't lose having either or in lineup To think..we had West..Battle...Randolph...Jones all in lineup at one time. Another underrated guy who was solid as hell was Aaron Brown -
Hammies fickle...and the worst strain to mess with....and even the most minor of minor pulls take a month minimum to get you in a "safe" zone..the way he came up lame when it happened...was more than a slight minor tweek He not gonna be impact he needs to be tomorrow...prob lucky to be next week...we should put best lineup together in hopes of advancing to Grey cup and shoot him up and let er all hang out in that game...but we won't.. and we know the way this will play out I'm shocked they aren't bracing up Strev and trotting him out there too truth be told

See we can agree...lobo...Jones didnt hurt us per say...but wasn't a difference maker Prime Biggies are rare...but prime Battles even rarer...he did it all...and better -
As was most depth charts we faced Nope...not anymore.. Played him in 2023 as well when he couldn't run...with 4 others that yr...garuanteed he will again. Only way he won't play if Demski himself says its not the best for team Osh doesn't have the mental capacity for those types of games...thats just his poor traits showing...nothing more...nothing less

I know of a couple instances ...but you don't believe anything I say and oppose it incessantly so not gonna go on and on with it. You can't isolate just the instances where we dropped ball...and i agree with you that in several instances how we went about some negotiations was too little..too late...or a futile attempt after the fact when we realized that guys just weren't gonna wait on us and give us the family discount..and were in scramble mode Also we have to realize whom the HC had said in their discussions with g.m as to who he wants...doesn't...or should be priority...cause that's also a huge factor in things....and type of player he wants and the scouting team goes out and tries to appease him. Its not just the g.m vision...if anything he has the least input as save for cdn college draft work he is not the guy with boots on ground working guys out..at random workouts...bird dogging other leagues practices You are the one saying its a long list. You are the one with the "gym" fetish of hearing rumors...whatever that fixation is for you i have no clue..but that's not where i get my info...but I do go to several gyms...facilities..both sides of the border...work out with and also train players in the CFL..NCAA and NFL...so maybe that's your reason?? Or you did some research on me and put 2 and 2 together and got 22...not 4...I dunno...u tell me And u just encapsulated most your defence "media report" and that's not where you get the real tea..and most won't air much via media in such a small league...next time I will transcript things just for you... I've never left walters off hook....but hes not the more problematic issue here...if anyone is letting someone off the hook its you and defence of Osh...hes made same fatal flaws how many yrs now...and looks set up to again...so obviously isnt that bright...and regardless of who or what any g.m would bring in...osh will still coach and roster like osh...
-
and we wonder why of late guys tend to leave here more than stay....and we dont seem to land any big FA guys....
-
Knowing Griffin is ready...arguably one of our better defenders and most versatile 2 yrs running and can play sam..hb..cb...safety..how hes not on for Lawson Jr is a joke...and before anyone says maybe hes not 100 percent healthy...well when has that stopped Stupid from rostering a guy before....I can think of 6...7 instances...plus fact tomorrow Demski is a GTD and hasn't practiced in weeks...but Griffin has been...just the fact he is an uncertainty now tells you...he not really ready...but why rest him an extra week so if we advance could make a diff in EF...

Lobendahn was a legit difference maker...just a shame he played majority of his games knicked up -
Biggest game of the yr...Likely our worst and poorest thought out lineup of the yr...just pathetic...but again, not shocked in the least...self sabotage once again...definitely time to cut bait with Osh...win or lose this game...its time If we do scratch out a win it will not be because of this brilliant use of who we have under contract... I can tell you several instances guys said thanks...but going with a different opportunity... Sad eh? And wasn't a stretch and going out on a limb with wild conspiracy rhetoric...just based on what we have seen..what we know...and who's in charge...hopefully for the last game...I want a win...expect a loss and one where we were never really in it...and I am sure we will see a couple real stupid ingame decisions and a good chance we get schooled again in second half adjustments...hope I wrong in that prediction tho...
-
Guess they watched the film last week...figured out the errors in getting pressure..sacks and limiting the Als offence and fixed that so we dont do that again
-
How Corcoran is even on the roster...let alone listed ahead of 2 guys whom he can't even hold their jocks for is laughable If BO gets hurt...or ZC does...or is just sucking we have no hope with this offensive lineup..especially if the backup has to depend on that crew And the saving grace that an active pressure inducing defence and scheme that we saw last week...that could have offset things a bit...just walked out the door too...who's actually shocked with what we trotting out? Sadly a fluke win will just extend this bafoonery for 2 to 3 more yrs
