I think if he got a decent FCS OL coach job he'd be gone. Our D staff outside of Younger are all up there in years. That’s a good point actually. Marty could go.
voodoochylde Posted November 18 Report Posted November 18 26 minutes ago, Mike said: I agree that one side of the ball definitely sank us, but I think there was a very obvious gap in our D all day too. Nick Taylor playing significant reps and our gameplan being so passive allowed Toronto free rein in that 7-12 yard middle of the field all night long. Certain guys on D came to play but the middle of that lineup was horrendous from interior DL back to safety. And yet, it wasn’t until Lucky turned it over that game got away from us. If we played complimentary football in any way all those perceived weaknesses are just a blip. It wasn’t the middle of the defense that got us beat us tonight, it was (essentially) two pick sixes and a fumble on special teams. Younger’s unit, for the most part, played well.

And if it means Walters not bringing guys back to his displeasure...so be it....Walters is the Boss....not Osh He aslo has to realize standing pat on what has worked...or used to, and having his mantra that we good and they all starters....they here cause they help us win....and the other tripe he feeds us is not working and he needs to evolve/adapt In all honesty....what evolution have you seen since 2022?...if anything I have seen regression. Another bee in the bonnet too is his force feeding his need to play more Canadians than required due to his Patriotic Canadianism bias....which it totally is and structure his roster accordingly. Lots of people will crap on American coaches for their American bias...and seemingly neglecting some Canadians...but in actuality they are playing their best players....With Osh it's the opposite....you can disagree all you want but it's been smack dab in our face the last 2 yrs.....if anyone seriously thinks excessive Thomas and Schmeck playing on the dline is better than any 2 americans we have....or could have brought in during the season until we found the right guy(s) is seriously delusional....we didn't have to do that at all....but we did You either have to adapt and or evolved...or you destined to fail...we've failed 3 straight yrs.....time to adapt and evolve I think buck has regressed to be worse than lapo.

Booch Posted November 18 Report Posted November 18 5 minutes ago, JuranBoldenRules said: Man Lawler was among the only players we had on the field tonight. Toronto just took him away because we had nothing else. Schoen...maybe there's some talk there. If he's healthy in these past 2 Grey Cup games we win. But again...personnel side, what are we doing? We had a whole season to replace Schoen this year and we already had a receiver derby in camp because we needed to fill a couple spots. one of Osh'S other big flaws...is whoever he breaks camp with...for the most part thats what it is....he won't waver...change...bring in anyone new...e=even when guys are just not getting it done...or good enough....thats not good JohnnyAbonny and Piggy 1 2

JuranBoldenRules Posted November 18 Report Posted November 18 Just now, JohnnyAbonny said: A lot of anger right now, but at this point I feel like I just can’t watch this offence anymore. Either get some receivers that can win a contested ball or get a QB/OC that can play the intermediate game without shitting all over themselves. It’s been Brady and the square pegs for years now. Really the receivers are a huge issue. OL too. Yeah Collaros struggled, but man, not a lot to work with. And you can't just hand Oliviera the ball 20 times and think that's going to work. Need some guys out there who want the ball, who can figure out how to play against zone. Big drop when we lost Wolitarsky. Need to make Demski a role player who can make the odd catch, take the odd hand off, not a critical piece but a guy the D has to respect. We went from 19-21 with OL where we could handle anything to 22 when we started to see some cracks to here in 24 where we ditched probably 2 of our best 3 OL and felt it. Lofton is a very average American tackle, nothing special. We didn't replace Gray's mobility. Dobson is like a Madden 77. Mauler with slow feet, really struggles in pass pro. Neufeld's decline has been gradual but getting sharper. If I'm Wade Miller I'm walking into February willing to spend $2 million plus on receivers, OL's and guys who can rush off the edge. rebusrankin, Noeller and BigBlueFanatic 1 2

If you can run 9 times for 10 yards a pop, you can run 20 times in the game. I don’t think fixing the ol will be easy. I’d start by flipping an imp at G though. Bigblue204 1
