JohnnyAbonny Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 Cautiously optimistic about Grymes actually. If his knee is healed, we can maybe squeeze a few good (or better than BA) games out of him. Wouldn’t be the worst bandaid back there. Of course there’s 3 guys already around that can play safety too, it’s still dumb, just not the dumbest
Eternal optimist Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 At least we didnt trade for Drew Willy lmfao Piggy 1 1
Bubba Zanetti Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 4 minutes ago, Eternal optimist said: At least we didnt trade for Drew Willy lmfao .......Its still light out...... MOBomberFan, Piggy 1 and Noeller 3
TBURGESS Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 Grymes used to be good, but I wonder if he has anything left?

rebusrankin Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 So we sign an old, injured, two years out of football db. WTF.

Goalie Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 This seems like an O’Shea move. It would be interesting to hear from walters tho.

GCJenks Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 This team and its actions just confuse the hell out of me. Will be hard to get motivated to spend 6 hours to and from a home game if it doesn't turn around fast. rebusrankin 1

JuranBoldenRules Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 Grymes was cooked before our Grey Cup drought ended. Too bad they are recognizing the need for some playmakers on D far too late. Lots of free agents that would have fit nicely here. Guys in their prime. But you need to have the tough conversation we were apparently only willing to have with Jeffcoat.

wbbfan Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 1 hour ago, Arnold_Palmer said: Alexander should be on the bench and Holm should be at safety. Honestly our secondary isn’t bad at all. Nichols, Bond and Ford have all been playing good football. It’s hard on your secondary when the QB gets 5 plus seconds to throw every down. Unfair to expect your DB’s to contain coverage on a huge field. Agree with all that. 1 hour ago, Booch said: He's got quick feet tho...lol But yeah...he hasn't been good...and even last year media jumped all over the hype from TC when Osh made some comments...he wasn't bad per say last yr...but he wasnt all that people talked him up to be...and he was targeted lots last yr too...hence the high tackles, and the knock downs...with volume thrown at you...you are gonna get knock downs Kramdi tho has no reason starting other than Osh's love affair for him for what reason I am not sure...and his age now...his physical attributes...this is his upside...and if Osh and some of you fans are fine with the worst SAM in the league then not sure what we will do...I'm not fine with it I can see if that was the one spot we "needed" the Canadian for ratio and was our best option for a Canadians use....then that would be reasonable...but we need 1 Canadian to always be on the field and Ford has that locked down...and should for yrs now...so prudent recruiting/drafting/free agent work should be to find another Canadian who can play that spot as back-up/rotation . The wasted reps with no upside/now no good Thomas....Schmeck who hasn't made any leaps forward...tho it's hard when Thomas gets most dline reps out of anyone not named WJ...So we effectively not even allowing ourselves to even see if he is worth hanging on to...or just replacing....Once Lawson is back he will be the prime Canadian Dline guy...and thats a good thing...Hubert has some serious potental and I want to see us get him to add 10...15 pounds and be that multi spot guy....but relying on him right now for major reps is again...not the best option for us if we want to have a dominant line to compensate a bit for weakassed OverHill and Flailing BA...and non-impactful Kramdi. Sadly as it sits we could do an actual in-season shift/transition with guys already here, and make us significantly better...but Osh won't...and to me if there is a bit of friction and not seeing the same vision with Walters/Miller and Osh...and an unwillingness to change his ways...then why not pull the pin...we wont be any worse and from being in a similar situation before myself..I know damn well that the players will come out and play with extreme fire and grit...and some who are almost kind of going thru motions now due to this mess...would look like night and day difference I sure it wont be publically stated...alluded to or even talked about by media here but I can with confidence say that there is some dissention and frustration in the room...and its not as close and "tight" as they claim lol ya. Atleast last year he was flashing that quickness closing the gap (he was giving up too much cushion) and made plays on the ball. This year he’s made like one such play. Yeah, kramdi should be a rotational back up type. He’d be good in that use situationally. But mos loves up jumped fringe players. drives me crazy that we could fix most of our problems with ease. And that we gave Kramdi huge bucks. And now we grab grimes but not guys like Titus wall when he was available? I can’t wait to see who comes off the pr lol. Seriously though, we could’ve scooped 3 good young dbs who’ve played good seasons since we won the gc, instead of an old guy who hasn’t played a good one since before. 49 minutes ago, TBURGESS said: Grymes used to be good, but I wonder if he has anything left? Even if he does idk, maybe we get half a season of a year and a half out of him? Only an upgrade for one imp if he’s got any thjng left. Vs young guys thatve been available. Even then, Cole played S in ps and has played Sam griffin has looked good in limited reps. I have a hard time seeing grimey being better than Cole or griffin. Blue-urns and WildPath 2

The GM to a lesser extent should also be looked at but he and his Asst's brought in a lot of talent that their HC basically ushered out the door not even allowing them a legit chance to bump a worse player off the roster...even tho several showed better.....that being said he should have laid down the law and or not even gave Osh the opportunity to roster some guys...no matter what his reasoning for bringing them back were....

Either Walter’s/wade are losing their mind or we are going to be losing ours for a good while to come. I really cant see Wade being happy with this...or putting up with it much longer...It's very obvious we have some poor roster decisions as starters...some bad use of guys on roster and how we use the ratio....the total refusal to use a nationalized player...and the lack of any player development behind some of our bad roster choices....and these all factor into what our record is this yr, and is an extension of why we lost the last 2 cups....toss into that nice recipe the fact we didnt have the team prepared and ready to start the season....and we are now 1/3rd into it and it still seems we are not 100 percent prepared....and have been out-coached too many times to count....any other place in the league where we would be seeing this go on we'd all be laughing like jackyls...
