voodoochylde Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 It's not all O'Shea but he's fostered a culture where guys are not accountable to one another. These are the same guys who didn't take a snap in pre-season. These are the same guys who were pencilled in as starters without any real or significant challenge to their spot on the roster. These are the same guys who fail to perform week in, week out .. who no longer have the drive, desire or ability to make an impact or be more than a role player. Confidence is a fickle thing and I believe it's important to give an athlete a chance to play their way out of a funk. At the same time, every man must be held to the same standard and it's clear that's not the case. These guys can get up, say what they want to each other behind closed doors or when they're breaking down film but those words ring hollow when there are no consequences and ultimately, there is no accountability without consequence. That's on O'Shea. BomberBall., bigg jay, Tracker and 6 others 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Sculpin Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 2 hours ago, rebusrankin said: So Sheehan has the lowest punting average in the league and was subpar last year. Why is the Mafia ok with this? How are we not in punter audition mode? Yes, he does which is not a good thing. Do you (or anyone else) know if the league keeps track of net yards for punts? (I couldn't find it.) Perhaps he might be better in that category? I also noted that he is the only punter who has yet to register a single. Could this be because of good placement near the opposition's goal line? I'm not trying to defend him but just looking for a broader picture.

Though I do think his placement when kicking from closer to midfield is very good, a real strength. But yeah, flipping the field by unleashing a massive punt from deep? Never gonna happen.

Now that we're losing, it's something we can change to see if we get better results. I don't know for sure but is the on-field practice length affected by video sessions?? I think there's only so much time that the players are required to be at the field?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Unger Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 According to Tait’s 48 hour primer it sounds like Tony Jones will get an expanded role this week and the bombers might be comfortable with Whiteheads knowledge of the playbook to roster him this week.

Colin Unger Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 At the pace they’re elevated his role Jones might be 30 by the time he replaces one of our 30 year olds. He’ll be 29 in a couple weeks. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 13 hours ago, SpeedFlex27 said: Only a coach who has no fear of his job does what Osh does. There seems to be little accountability to the higher ups. I don't understand it. No one should be that comfortable especially at the pro level. Winning should be everything. Nothing else should matter. However, the way this team seems to operate, I could see O'Shea having multiple losing seasons & he would still have a job. I have not watched Walters, but my recollection of Wade Miller as a player was that he would be royally ticked if/when the Bombers lost. That would seem to be a core personality trait and thus I cannot see that this sort of thing will be allowed to continue much longer. Labour Day at most. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever get to talk to Doug Brown about Wade, he'll tell you some stories about how Wade ALWAYS gets **** done. He's been successful in basically every aspect of his professional life because he doesn't settle for/expect less than the best. I've said it before and I'll say it again... My faith isn't necessarily in Osh or Kyle, but Wade. If Wade can't fix this, nobody can.

Osh probably gets too much. From my somewhat limited knowledge Andrew Harris, Chris Randle, Jamaal Westerman and a few others deserve more credit than anyone for building the locker room “culture” or whatever you want to call it. Both O’Shea and Walters own the rapid decline equally imo. 4 minutes ago, Booch said: Roster just keeps getting weaker and weaker....I don't recall Wilson ...who's been one our best defensive guys of late go down....but now he's out.....McGhee?....for Cole?....good god...again....no vet presence added as a receiver to help out..the usual suspects still in their appropriate spots.....chalk up another L Wow.

Wilson’s a good player, but salary and injury history made him a poor fit for this season. It’s just not a position to spend much more than league minimum on. They had a rookie in TC making plays all over the place, they chose to keep Wilson and now they’re stuck with nothing and nobody. bigg jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
