Bubba Zanetti Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 (edited) Another game, another day watching a cooked Bighill flailing around the field missing tackles, falling on his ample ass, and generally being three steps behind every play. He is a shell of his former self. Its sad, embarrassing, and frustrating. Edited July 13 by Bubba Zanetti rebusrankin, Bigblue204, Super Duper Negatron and 5 others 8

He should have been blown up and instead Biggie just made a sad attempt at his feet and then watched him run for 25 Tracker 1

SectionKBlackout Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 I don't like shitting on a guy that gave everything for us, 2 Grey cups and was a beast. It's hard to watch him now be a shell of what he was. He should retire and bow out gracefully. Blue28, Goalie, BigBlueFanatic and 2 others 2 3
Super Duper Negatron Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 Can we not move Wilson to the middle and start anyone else? rebusrankin and Noeller 2

HardCoreBlue Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 We should change this thread name to Adam BigHill would be an outstanding Linebacker Coach, like right now.

Super Duper Negatron Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 Imagine if we started 2-4 but used those games to develop a young linebacker who had a chance to help us win a Grey Cup next year. wbbfan and rebusrankin 2

Goalie Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 Biggie Jake and BA all need to realize it’s over. They are all shells of their former selves who truly are being picked on weekly cuz everyone knows they are done except O’Shea Super Duper Negatron and wbbfan 2

I think you need a coach with some balls and not even balls but a coach who recognizes it. It’s sad watching once impact players like BA and Biggie just mess up all game long. It’s happened every game also. Time to do the easy thing now. I think after 6 games, it shouldn’t be a tough decision anymore. That’s 1/3 of the season now and every game they have looked worse. Not getting better. Getting picked on every game. Bubba Zanetti 1

Bubba Zanetti Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 A lot of these guys just cant let go though. They know their athleticism/speed just isnt there anymore but in their heads its "If i can hit the gym a little more or drop a few pounds ill be back to where i was before". Sometimes they need to be told its over. Im still pissed at him and O'Shea for playing in last years Grey Cup. The selfishness has really tarnished his legacy for me. He had no business playing in that game with his injury. Wilson starts in his spot and we win. Im 100% convinced of that. M.Silverback, Goalie and wbbfan 3

Looks like he’s had the opposite thought on building bulk. But he’s basically a nose tackle in his current shape. Bubba Zanetti 1

I dunno… anytime Biggie gets sent into the LOS he’s manhandled by opposing OL and usually ends up on the turf as the play goes by. Love Bighill, was a key piece building towards the championships and it sucks watching the decline. He’s had a ton of singularly spectacular plays over his time with the Bombers but his relentless play in the ‘21 Grey Cup especially stands out to me. Team was behind the 8-ball and he just never stopped… all time Bighill. Edited July 13 by BigBlueFanatic wbbfan, bearpants, Wanna-B-Fanboy and 2 others 1 4

For a guy who is a supportive, players coach letting a guy play who had basically a career ending injury was stupid and cruel actually. And a coach’s job is to win. Playing Biggie and an injured Schoen was not doing your job. Like you said, tarnished his legacy for me because of that, and how he’s allowing that mentality to continue.

Goalie Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 (edited) I’m not sure I can blame the pro athlete for trying to hang on to his career. You can blame the coaches and management at this point tho for allowing it to continue. End the insanity because legacies are indeed being tarnished. How can Osh and the coaches and Walters even watch the film and think yup these guys aren’t done. It’s just crazy. You can see it in real time also.

I agree its hard for these guys to hang it up and a lot of the time its the coaches that have to say enough is enough, but when he's watching film of himself missing tackles, receivers/RB's running away from him like he's in quicksand, etc, you would have to realize youre hurting your team and holding back their success. To me thats selfishness. Goalie 1

rebusrankin Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 Bighill was a great player for us and will one day enter the club hall of fame and perhaps the ring of honour. Sadly in 2024, he's a shadow of himself. Goalie 1
