In watching his highlights, it seems that he runs nice, crisp routes and has great hands but not that fast in a straight line, so he will have to rely on quickness.

But does he run nice crisp routes?

Penny Hart WR who has bounced around NFL since 2019 and Brandon Wright DE from Michigan State started his career in College as RB moved to DL seems like he would be real athletic.

With Ayers coming on strong and playing reps on defence...Griffen being lights out....and The Pickett rupotured Achilles in Ottawa I'd be packaging up one of Cole or Wilson with maybe a conditional pick and look to get OL guy Hogan-Saindon off thier 1 game...I sure they won't trade Bull....Then we can use as the 7th oline guy if we continue to roll with 7 and not waste a DA spot with Vanterpool

People are quick to toss all the accolades on a guy....but will ignore the negatives and bad traits...cause we won some games....we did this...we did that...bkah blah blah

Well we could and should have won more...had 4 cups....maintained an re-stocked top end players....but we havnt....and it fell right on the coaches feet....

Every coach I have ever known first hand....or in leagues I have been in for all their success's...had fault's and bad traits/bias'....it's not to take away anyhing they have done, but more of a it should have been better...or imagine what if, but most the people here spin it as some posters think they know more...and maybe in some instances some do see the forest thru the trees and do see a better way....it's not un-common

And many still look past the fact that in the first 2 cup runs...in many instances we won despite the short sightedness....That will happen when you have some top flight generational talent in their prime able to play above an beyond and mask the short comings...we don't have that now....but still have some poor rostering...and poor game plans...and we sit 7-6 and lucky to be in first...due to a few teams tanking, but also we are close to at par with talent now with everyone...some instances below par....and the record reflects it....Osh didn't in game 5 formulate a new plan or do something radically different to turn it around...he did nothing really....only when injuries happened...we just Lucky Campbell screwed his team dynamic up and Mace is just an idiot

Coaching lost us the last 2 cups...any argument otherwise is just nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking....and the 2021 cup was a lucky win too....we escaped that one...were almost outcoached in that...and were severely outcoached in 2022 and 2023....but ya but we made it??...who effin cares...we lost...when we shouldnt have

I will reiterate...out of the coaches in the league Osh is the one I want before all the trolls start their usual tripe....But he can be better...and based on past failures and why we failed...he should be better....learn from your past failures...dont repeat them

Unfortunately, O'Shea has repeatedly shown himself to be remarkably resistant to learning from experience.

Not sure I agree with that. Lapo would done his lapo thing and had a ton of close losses because that's hownhe coaches. 

I don’t think he was more conservative than mos with a lead, both are cut from the same cloth in that way imo. 
 Paul struggled to implement great culture, and limit his control of the O.  But he ran our O and would’ve inherited the culture.

With no dvorce in sight...we better keep him upright and healthy.... Which brings me to...I hope big Stan is back to healthy....that will definitely be optimal

Quoted for damned truth here. We badly need to do what ever it takes to keep him in a clean safe pocket.

he has picked his game up for sure from what it was...now is it cohesion?...change in philosophy...did he get "coached" up a lil to be more cerebral?...who knows....but I be a bit leary with eggs all in his basket for 2025

Zach 2025 scares the hell out of me. We better spend all the money on the ol. Might have to run 3-4 imps full time.

who are the lurking great ones?

 

He's a legit pass rush specialist....very active

From some colleagues I work with even tho undrafted was viewed as a guy who if he could put on some weight would be a legit dedicated pass rush guy, but from what I know he hasn't buked up....even with a few recent NFL camps....and would be perfectly suited to the CFL game if he comes in here at 235...245 pounds....I could easily see him supplanting Haba if actually given a real opportunity....

Boy that’d be the answer to a lot of issues on D if they give him a shot and he works out.

Why am I reading Nichols to the 6-game? When was he even hurt?

Him and Biggie. 

Haven't seen any confirmation that Nichols is hurt. Just that he wasn't at practice and isn't on the injury report. Speculation that means he's on the 6 game.

Don't totally get Baumings speculation here. Woli is on the 6 game and he is on the report.  Strev is done for the year, wouldn't he also go on the 6 game then?
