I'm quite sure our head coach has repeatedly said that everyone on our team is a starter.   So are you calling O'Shea a liar?

I am.....and about the  "that they here cause they give us a chance to win when they need to step in"

If you only realistically have a chance to win with only your starter(s) you have a seriously flawed roster.....or no depth....or really poor coaching....or all of the above or a combo of several.....Thats just a ludicrous statement because with that logic the Argo's should have lost....so why did they win then??

I mean if a starter goes down i don't doubt that oshea has complete faith in his backups.... problem comes in when you start to figure out that "goes down" means something different to oshea than you or I. For oshea it's something like "is he breathing? Then he can play"

Yes...and I wouldn't expect any HC to publicly say anything else.

sure he does...stated time after time "they in the building cause they give us a chance to win"..."they are all number ones"...."we like what he brings".....total bullcrap.....as he does not deploy them as such.....

That's not far off from reality with some players.

Zach couldn’t grip the ball. I mean the year b4 Bighill played using a walker

Yr prior...ZC could not move....plant to throw....and was basically at 50% uefulness.....2025 gonna be more the same horseshit sadly

Especially with the deadwood on the roster we keep re-signing & actually passing them off as players who can actually still contribute.

Thomas will get big time reps again because Osh just thinks he's great and thats that

Even with Lawson back,,,,it won't change

Thomas out snapped him as well in 2023....and even tho everytime he got reps he just made playsandr caused issues to allow others to make plays but he got parked behind Thomas...why would Osh change...he is allergic to change anything especially if it is one of his favorites

Based on who we have prioritized this winter already, I will be shocked if Biggie is not signed again...Vet Canadians require bigger bucks.....it's a matter of where you decide to put those vets and what bang for buck they will give you.

No slight on Augustine...Benson...Gauthier...Hallett (always injured Hallett i mean) served us well...still can offer something but really a younger guy at less SMS hit can offer basically what they can give you now....possibly more

Lat yr we moved on from Briggs, but that was more of Briggs wanting to move on...the yr previous he was gonna but came back for one more kick of the can, and you know damn well if he didnt wanna retire we would be re-upping him again for a higher salary...as a guy like Kelly would not see roster

What if Biggie signs a deal with a low base salary and more focused on bonuses for time played + stats.   Would that be the only way we should bring him back?   Or is he so shot that the team shouldn't even waste a spot for him on the roster even if he is paid little to nothing.

The truth is that Bighill, Jake Thomas, Brandon Alexander and Kolankowski are blocking the developmental path for better, younger (and cheaper) players. But all this has been said ad nauseum.

I am 100 percent certain Biggie wont be ready until at least Labour Day at earliest...so realy that alone should take him out of the discussion...and if we lockhim up and allot money to him.....Osh and Walters should be shot...as thats just stupidity

Could you see them signing him and placing him on IR until healthy and at that point they give him his old spot back?   Use a scrub in the mean time until he is ready?
