Booch

it seems like his protection isnt as good...and he is panicked and pressured...I think it more he not nimble and as quick to recognize, and maneuverer himself like he was.....hence what we see...Sure the oline isn't what we were used to...dominant...but they were by no means a collection of stiffs and scrubs. He also the last 2 yrs has lost a lot of his touch and accuracy....tell tale sign of a QB losing arm strength

and hence....not very good......you can look like him and be uber athletic...explosive.....my experience is you put best players out there...rgardless of color..race...nationality and SKILL....nothing given...and everything earned...and maintained

yeah dont dislike the person ....just dislike the player he is now since basically our 2019 Cup win.....happens to every player...I Like Biggie...know him...trained with him....but he shouldnt be on the field either....even as a depth rotation guy....He has no upside and shouldnt be looked at for the future...so why delay the inevitable and block a young guys development...or just a better player with yrs still ahead of them

yeah...he definitely is not what he was...hopefully we can wring one more yr outta him

I value skill....usefulness....production...and progression.....he has limited at best of any of that now.....thats the issue....and he taking reps just slows the development of others and the ability to roster a diff player who can have use on ST's...in rotation somewhere...and offers upside Has nothing to do with his fat sloppy appearance and trotting around gasping for air Warren Sapp looked like a ball of turd...and there been others...but they were athletic and made plays....just as people discount a guy for being smaller....if they have skill and athleticism and make plays...play them...I have made that argument as well for a small guy if you wanna cherry pick assumed beliefs I have JT really other than being a marginal depth piece at best now offers not much else....let a young guy do that...with upside...and cheaper....not sure how that doesn't make sense ...good sense...and makes our roster better...and frees up some money...maybe not tons....but 30k at the very lesst that could bee the difference to keeping say a Lawler or Dobson

new system.....being the main backup to 2 guys....possible....plus he has yet to fully establish himself anywhere to be a defacto number 1 Canadian....so...maybe?....be nice I see that maybe as making it worse...him hanging on to the ball...undecided....hard to say. I think too a lot of the issues are he's just had some his skills slowly diminish and leave him....it happens....and Buck last yr did him no favors with some bad game plans

as it sits right now roster wise...with who we have brought back I think our best dline config would be not counting who we may still bring in in FA and some the new signings...would be WJ and Vaughters with Person rotating....A mix of Lawson/Woods/Adams as your interior main rep absorbers, and let Samson break camp as the 7th guy Allows your younger guys with the potential to rep rep rep....and allow you to see what they are projecting to be, and gives you some real flexibility with how you can deploy Adams and Vaughters.....Especially if we go National at safety and SAM....We arent DT dependent to the ratio..Stash JT on the PR....Or 6 game him if he agrees to it....like Miller and have him there just in case...he is not the future moving forward...isnt even the now....but has value as deep depth if someone goes down knowing we can plunk him in and he will get in the way of a play here and there...let the young guys develop, or show they arent good enough and bring in someone until you find it

yup....and a nice mix of body types....add BOLO as the NI depth and we be set......White JR when he returned looked nothing like White JR pre-injury...maybe he is back to 100 percent as well and that would be a savvy pickup...he has a knack for the tough contested catches I like tho we also have Logan now to integrate in....and he is as explosive as it gets in the league...Under radr pickup to the lay fan who prob has no clue who he even is

u think he should be on end???....gimme a break I did say yup he was a good depth piece..6 to 8 reps a game.....other than that....he's done nothing really of any significance other than stay healthy...but that also a direct result of not being a guy who gets in there and just makes plays and has multiple guys defemding him....hardly clouding judgement by any stretch He's a good guy...he's not a good player since 2022

yup...we need to pay premiun in a spot or two in our host yr...even if its just a one yr deal Sure Lawler seems to go silent a few games a yr....BUT....is that really on him and only him....I would say no....Demski does the same....plus has worse ball security at times.....you work with the good and the bad...and Lawler works with a lot of good....Good that nobody in the league can do like he does.....and the big thing..ZC needs famiiarity and trust in his guys...or he essentially sucks and is a picken machine....and he wont be getting better this yr....but likely shows regression For ZC to resemble vintage ZC...he needs elite talent all around him.... Looking at our group0 right now I dont see an elite group....with Schoen still a bit of an unknown...Mitchell..White...Demski..Clercuis and TBD as a backup But Swap in Lawler with Mitchell...Schoen...Demski...Clercius and White JR as the extra guy as we wait for return of Wilson....that looks a lot better...and bet ZC would say so too

If he doesnt get picked up by anyone...I bet my left and right nut this time Osh brings him back I didnt watch the vid as i rarely like to watch Osh vids as they say basically nothing....unless he is slinging BS and he gets too smug....so will go off what other posters say....Was he asked if he has learned anything from past flops, and if he is gonna switch things up? he may have told them that because Lawler told him a number he would come back for...and we couldnt hit it....If he was payed to his liking...100 percent he would remain yup same sentiment..and bring in Adeleke....and we good....let the scouts fill in the rest and then have a REAL training camp yup....a lil extra money could be the diff in a guy or 2 dong a 180 BOLO as well would be a nice add.....He left originally due to his use...or lack thereof especially not seeing a rep in the Grey Cup....so not sure that distatse of the team still lingers, but it wasnt toward his teamates....and he still free so I'd like to see him and Big Kev tag-team one spot and allow us to spell of Demski

Why did osh park Adams then and play fox to close out season and in playoffs? Yup...never to be heard from I believe

I respect your opinion...but that's truly not a good way to coach...and players trust me see it...and don't like it...but wouldn't say it publicly....to the media Yeah but everyone here raved how good he was as a talent scout...and yeah...he is...and sees value in guys if actually used accordingly. Nobody moved the needle tho..was that more the scheme they were made to play? And in what sane world would you have 3 ends on your roster...but run Jake out there at end?? Answer me that

Is that because of a QB issue and the QB not what he once was....are we in for more the same this yr and possibly even worse?...thats the question I have...A new OC...One who has never put together a pro offence...likely 3 new recievers he chucking to....getting used to a new oline config...a HC with a penchant for not playing the best available players (Hi Kolo)....I dont have super confident vibes right now thats shittty coaching all of our assumed to be expendable scrubs,....mediocre...no loss giys as we have upgraded them apparently sure got scooped up pretty quickly...Woli..Fox..Garbutt..Haba...

the contract offer has to be filed with the league ho....so they cant "adjust" it after the players former team gets their exclusivity thats an even lamer rebutal...edm was a complete disaster when he was there wasnt from league attendences...was new revenue streams coming into play

but also wouldnt the team that offerd the big pile....offer even more tho?...I dunno....but I think there was knowledge....if not a concrete number that it was gonna have abump over and above the norm....but then again..who knows eh? sometimes you need to change how you do things to continue success...we are due for some changes exactly....all they are currently is offer sheets they agreed to....their own teams still get their exclusivity window after that.....if they decide they don't want to match/top...the offering team is obligated to make the deal no...2 hours....4 mins and 38 secs....lol

u can....But do you really want the 6th guy being a straight from college guy?...as your depth...I dont and for the 7th...I meant we dont need to run 7 on roster....You can utilize MCI and Clercius in the jumbo role....which would also allow for more deception and trickery if you so desired

If he is healthy is prob one of the top Canadian DT's in the league...and still is young and just coming into his prime yrs why we were not in on Ceresna at that...or even 230k is baffling to me...Unless for some reason he didnt wanna playhere....or did we figure we good at DT with the usual suspects??....I may lean that way actually sadly he did...he said they all starters...and only here cause theygive us a chance to win...Obvioulsy he himself knows thats a load of B.S he shovells at the fan base when players are questioned with it going up was even more reason to cut bait with him and make a offer you couldnt refuse to the best interior dline gy on the FA market....but we didnt I dont see that logic either...we lost starters in Lawler..Woli...Wilson...Dobson...Fox....Haba...Garbutt...Ford Does Haggerty...White Jr....Mitchell....Re-upping Thomas...hanging onto Schmeck...Vaughters....and unknown at moment at guard make us as good or better than last yr?...Vaughters does as the starting end...after that I'd say ....no....maybe comparable....and that wasnt good enough last yr. The Jones signing is a big one...and Logan is too as it satisfy's a couple needs all by itself We now have no depth at DT or DE really other than a couple holdovers fro last yr and whatever we bring in...and same with oline....Say you put Wallace in at Guard...or Eli...we now have no depth behind for that 6th...and god I hope not 7th guy on roster....I also highly doubt we will go 3 imports on the oline.....and we still have Kolo at center...averagely pedestrian at best, but there are a couple upgrades still out there in FA...do we make that move or does Osh let his loyalty dictate our best roster?? Was that a reason we never even had a competitive offer for any of the dline guys who got scooped up?...if we even made an offer? Looking at the scraps left we dont have a lot of real options in FA to make us better....If it was me I'd target Couture to get Kolo off the roster....I'd also sign Oakman to work the middle with Woods and Adams and I sure Younger could do some funky stuff with him....WJ....Vaughters I'd bring in Adeleke and let him and Kelly battle for the safety spot...the best gets it the other is solid depth and great on teams....Id make a play for Albright who was in Sask and let him battle with Person for the rotating end...and the bestgets it..the other stays on as depth if doable....or on the PR to be groomed I'd also bring BOLO back as the 1-2 punch with Clercius ....and then trust in scouting to round things out in TC....A true TC where jobs are to be won

Based on new revenue streams coming to fruition

hack

Likely win...was a 1 score game...

scrubs that all got signed before FA officially opened....and I guess from your logic then it validates that Osh created a shittty roster of scrubs and guys who werent worthy

G.M's run the team and the sms...Sure a coach will say what he would like...etc....but the finality is always on the G.M...Any other way and you get severe dysfunction and tire fires A good players coach...and no dispute in Osh being exactly that and a great mentor as a person and pro.... They would want to male that call as they would have more connection and interaction with said player(s) yup he is a good coach...better yet a real leader of men for sure...but he has a few almost fatal flaws...can he over come them? You obviously dont know the structure and how the dynamics work...certainly they work together but a G.M will always overule and have final say on the overall picture...or should.....and a Prez will for most part run things in the back ground and let his leaders lead...until things go batshit crazy off the rails due to supreme incompatence correct GM's knew the increase back in December... as for the roster..who and why played...the roster is totally on the HC game in and game out...he decides who plays...and playing less than the best players...or injured ones falls directly onhim The 2 inferior DT's we rolled out adnauseum took reps away from better guys on the roster...or relagated them to the PR Walters also brought in linebacker talent...and the HC cut them, or didnt feel the need to have one...2 on the PR to develop and or be there as depth...Our PR in general the last 3 yrs has been horrid...again...thats on the coach...The G.M may ask a few questions and maybe be displeased but in a well functioning team he will not step in and over ride the HC's roster decisions....tho at time he should have...but thats a slippery slope

If Bourgoin was a real long shot then Hogan was an even longer shot....and save for BO's praise I have never heard his name really talked about in any regard to become a pro OC...Good guy and all....but not a guy on anyones radar yeah he a solid coach....but the is is just an extension of staus quo and trying to leep constant things from the past...like player issues...even if it isnt the best choice...and really...Typical Oshea I hope he does well....Is he the best guy on the staff for the job...nope.....prob the 3rd best now that JJ is here....Hopefully he takes a lot of what JJ has done in EDM as part of is template and utilizes it last yr

casue he a national...no reason he should be making more than Ceresna other than that
