Booch

mmmm.....greasy lol I hear ya tho...

and that is a major flaw with a guy sucking up 600+k,.....major...and should be adressed...worked on....and if he just can't/wont....ride the pine a bit....again....circles back to coaching or lack there of

why not be great...to totally off-set an underperforming offence....there's an idea 😉

A pro QB should be able to throw to anyone who is running the designed routes....saying they don't have chemistry and thats why they failed is just an excuse....chemistry is nice and can make for the ordinary play become extraordinary....but running the offence as schemed a pro QB who is good...will fit it in even if a fat oline guy has to throw on a pinny and play receiver...if he where he supposed to be...the QB will find him....excuses are for losers...always have been...always will be

No pron...after reading the post I seen how it could be looked at like player wise....which it wasnt....good players...for most part but were not coached to put them in best positin to win those games.....and they can't go rogue so.... it all runs thru HC tho.....and it's also up to HC to make a change if things go off rails and the co-ordinator is not adjusting....HC also makes the roster I bet if Younger got carte blanche with roster for defense it would look a lot different

outclassed coaching wise....not player/characterwise....you cant deny it...Mass and Dimwittie outcoached Osh 3 straight yrs

Bighill hasnt been prime for 2.5 yrs and I agree we can attract giys...and find them for that matter Issue is being out coached and out classed...and not playing the better player in key spots

oh I agree....but we beat a weeak and poorly coached weak sister...then got schooled by a really well coached team....and this yr looked really bad in doing so.....we aint no lock without some serious tweaks and changes...and especially if Osh continues Oshin'....reg seson wins mean jack....so they yeah buts about the record before the game that matters most is moot...and doesnt need to be mentioned....as it meant diddly 3 yrs running we have seen first hand a good team...put in a positio to win with top players who arent over the hill can win a cup without hosting a Final...and even not even hosting a game

Ambles and BOLO would have offered more than Demski..Bailey and Schoen in that game as for nothing but the fact that they could actually run with authority and garner attention....any discussion that replacing 2 of them with healthy bodies wouldnt have made huge difference is just a flat out idiot......or an Osh nad licker...or both Once MTL realized they were basically ineffective and could give a huge cushion and basically ignore, to more or less neutralize B.O and Lawler and know ZC would start to force things was the game right there.....it was a close one score game .....so imagine a couple of guys in lineup who could have made plays.....and points we didnt get..... Same as last yr....1 score game.....do you think anyone of the back-ups and maybe Buck adjusting what he was doing...which wasnt working anyway would have again made a difference.....instead of keeping a QB in who couldnt do anything?....like shake your heads man....

yeah....based on our last playoff performance...why should we be a lock....esoecially if we end up brnging back most of the gang who have failed in 3 straight....and we know if Biggie wasnt injured and not gonna be ready...he's been signed before xmas This yr the west in my opinion gonna be wide open....and if we start the season the same way...same mentality and with the leisure suit and sensible shoes style of camp we put forth last yr...I dont see us hosting a playoff game which also was part of our failure

Blink gave 100 percent efffort on every snap and his fast twitch muscle was insane....like mentioned could stop/cut/change direction on a dime and be top speed in 3 strides...wasn't overly fast, but his acceleration allowed him to create distance immediately Also for a small fry who avoided the gym like the plague he was insanely strong and didnt matter...bigger guy...small agile guy he could juke em....run em over....or jusy power thru a mass of bodies....never went down on first contact definately a generational talent and if he came along in the mid to late 2000's...with training and expertise available now...and took advantage of it....man what could have been

we were Oshin.....and losing....x3

which is extremely stupid...especialy with Free agency right away...and needing to have something installed scheme/playbook wise by may....like wtf

nailed it

and rarely healthy....looks like Tarzan....tough like....I think even Jane had higher injury tolerance

Suitor I think truly thinks Harris implemented that all on his own and is tutoring others on it.....fricken tool

well now the Rider's running backs will "press the line" like mofo's!! hahah....Suitor won't stop yammering on about that anymore...sadly any back with good coaching does that....Harris didnt invent it lol

Yeah he hardly a pillar....and wasnt as "important"to the teams turn around as an influence as a lot would like to claim here I also defended him...originally on the PED stuff....but some digging and talking I don't now....also his play...and over all appearance after the issue slowly eroded away too.. BO is more the player...teammate and person and we lucky to have him even to it's costing us

Yeah Ambles...and being a CFL vet and familiar with the league could easily have slid into lineup and been effective

Nahhh.....expect Lawler 1 yr deal confirmed somewhere before Free Agency opens....Mitchell and Lawler will be a nice combo while we allow time for Schoen to rehab fully yeah...Non-Priorities like Gauthier and Wilson...and pointless signing of Thomas is gonna screw us in re-signing some of our younger guys with even more upside and yrs of service ahead of them....unless we plan to disregard the salary cap we aregonna have to replace some with likely less upside....probably not as good potentially and for minimal savings We got a boatload tied up in a minimal amount of guys and have probably now the most expensive secondary now which should be your lower teir price point group and save for Nichols only one real elite guy...thats not good...especially when we havnt solved linebacker and right now only have Gauthie, Jones and Wilson ....2 of whom are really average at best...and who knows what Wilson we get

We've now got way too.much money tied into a positional group that should really be your cheapest...add Thomas into that mix and somebody is gonna face the "sorry we can't pay you " talk...which sucks as it's likely Dobson and or Ford...or both Not really...he not even gonna be ready to open season so why allocate anything now...good chance nobody will until spring to see where he at Cole will add way more value...versatility...and youth at a nice chunk of change less than Biggie...

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

we dont need to sign another canadian dlineman tho...we already had 3 under contract...aswell as a global....likely draft one at minimum....and again no need really to have to always have one on the field...so that signing at over 100k easily....prob closer to 120...130....is a big why? Thomas had more tackles in likely 3x the reps....and a lot of Thomas tackles were basically a play that ran right into him...not from some extraordinary effort or play....Take whatever they pad him...where would that amount be more well served...retaining Dobson....saved for monies to go to Ford....a good portion of say Ceresna/McManus.... Ford plays the easiest position in the secondary in theCFL....Not discounting his play or skill as he has it in spades....but that spot is easily filled....at cheaper if we have to. For what we pay Nichols....Kramdi which is a real head scratcher...now Holm....and just wasted money on Thomas....we can effectively kiss Ford good bye as we are not gonna invest over 500k in 4 db's....thats just SMS suicide...3 at over 130k right now is a bad allotment....considering we in dire need of an impact linebacker...interior dlineman....still need to sigh Schoen and Lawler....really should be going after an elite olineman.....be it a tackle or a guard who has abilty to slide out

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

fack no.....dont even go there...as we didnt need a canadian on the dline....at all...especially not a shittty one
