WE have the makings of champions ... our talent level is nearly there but our systems are not

They both have a decent helping of truth. I worry about or lackluster systems, but more about mos being soo player friendly that the team plays half a game every game. But no one is on the hot seat or with in close sight of it imo. 

We are a mid tier quality team. With mid tier quality coaching. We are deeply invested into mos and hes earned time to see if he can take the next step forward. 

What is the next step forward?

For our coordinators to become more flexible in their packages,schemes and calls ... to get out of their own ruts and biases

To better assess our personnel deficits and ACT on that knowledge

Increase an already good comoraderie and team spirit so more of our players are at the top of their game and more often performing "in the zone"

We are very close talent wise but not team wise

I do agree about the coaching being suspect but think you have over-rated our talent level too. The only position we are 'championship' level at is kicking.

We also have an O-line and defensive tackles that are all-stars. Once you get past that...

And our DBs and our WRs.

And our special teams.

So how many rings do they have?

Well, you just shot yourself in the foot with that comment. Medlock doesn't have a ring but you claim he's championship calibre. Meanwhile, Andrew Harris has a ring but you don't seem to think he's championship calibre. Same with Weston Dressler.

I mean, Sam Hurl has a ring... Is he a championship calibre MLB? Julian Feoli-Gudino has a ring... Is he a championship calibre receiver?

Your logic is flawed.

I believe Nichols has one as well. Bryant has one. Dressler has a few. Nevis doesn't but he's a top talent as well. Randle might but I'm not sure, top talent though. Fairly sure our HC has a few as well....our DC has one at least. Not sure about Lapo.

Either way, this team has the talent to play with anyone. They just gotta figure how to best use it. Anyone who doesn't think this team is talented, I'm going to assume hasn't been watching CFL football for too long.

Did anyone actually read the first post?  He's not saying the sky is falling, in fact, the analysis is pretty reasonable.  I'm not sure why he has to 'calm down'?

 

Well, he kinda is. #chickenlittlesyndrome

Loved how Lapo's playcalling neutralized that scary Toronto pass rush last night.

Harris's hard running had a bit to do with it as well. IF he was stopped, then passing would have been forced.

A balanced attack is the best way to keep a defense honest.....

I think the only thing they need to do is get more aggressive and learn when to be aggressive and when not to be, that's what really makes the difference. Knowing when to take a shot and when not to.
