Dont have an axe to grind with everything....just the insanely stupid **** we do over and over...if anyone is grinding anything it's you at every post I make that doesnt tickle Oshis's ballsac.....he wasnt allowed one iotta to develop on defense....a rep here and there isnt developing a guy Same with the wasted bigo card space on Thomas basically 3 yrs running now...we could have integrated and developed 3 defensive guys there going into 2025 alredy, and if they werent cutting it...bring in someone who can....not just roll wit guys who are on down swing...have zero upside and offer not much other than name recognition... coming from the other anti me axe grinder not surprising comment......coming from 2 guys who I am 99.657% sure have had have no. experience developing...recruiting....training or placing players outside of pop warner football...but I will give credit where it's due are true fans and will defend defend defend even tho the defence has not much a leg to stand on other than ya but....referring to season s in the rear view he did so many smart and actually astute football things for a Canadian Football rules rookie,...who had never even heard of the game bsially before coming here...imagine where he would have been at by mid-season...back 3rd if he was allowed to play like Nick Anderson in Edmonton...he'd been lights out...already was Same could be said for Woods and even Adams were allowed majority reps...and utilized effectively.....they would not have hit any wall by mid season like many will chime in here....thats how yu break thru those walls and learn to play at a pro level for a full season....christ Thomas would hit a wall every game by second quarter from over use....but out he trotted...drive after drive....stuff like that just keeps your blue chio guys further behind the curve because they dont get to play....ytou learn more in games and live reps than in what today's practices hae become....glorified walk thru's and skellies

The mere fact that Ayers is getting lots of looks, and in limited time showed excellent football skill...I.Q and instincts...plus athleticism out the wazzo....yet wasnt allowed to play and develop all yr like the ROY in Edmonton got to do is further proof that our way has flaws....we stagnate/block guys...favor older player for no apparent reason other than they been here longer.....and or or HC seriously has a talent evaluation issue...we definitely meed to change the way we operate to a certain extent Even with Ford before he left for the NFL....was apparent he had the skills...tools to develop into a great player.....but never got the shot...and that one is a real head scratcher as we know Smugs likes to favor and over load his starting 24 with excessive Canadians

well we went internal with Buck and he had one season with a Cup but that was when more players were in their prime and offensively wasn't really reason we won in 2021....what has he won here after that?...zip.....and taken a lot of heat for it as well....he worked under Lapo.....and now the internal hire guy will have worked under lapo....and buck...and been ensconced in this way we do things now for a while.....which in itself needs to be tweeked....so going internal again....because thats what we do to me seems like the safe move....but not the best one.....flame away

if he puts up numbers even remotely close to what Demski does...it's a killer deal....and in all honesty can see him surpassing Demski numbers if he gets a full yr of games in

I had said the yrs prior we should promote him....and he's gonna be one of the better DC's ....and we had to or we would have lost him....so sometimes when you have a fresh new up and comer it makes sense and pays off...his defence was nothing like Ritchies.....so in a sense he was internal but brought in a new mindset and philosophy Other times it's not the right thing and you need to switch lanes a bit....but also just because you don't read about it in the press doesn't mean they haven't talked to others outside an internal guy...I now we have talked to/discussed things with 3 outside the organization

100k increase maybe....I think tho that deal is more geared toward what he should do if he stay out of the tub....and at that money for a versatile CDN in the Demski type skill set.....if he plays close to a full season he probably puts up as good or better numbers in my opinion That being said CGY doesn't have many if any big ticket salary guys currently so thats a good price....too bad we dont have Demski in that range

its an over spend....he's had 1 really good yr....can rush off edge, but even then when he was watched for jumping he disappeared basically....and if he cant get off a block he is useless....and washed away. He will make some backside pursuit plays, but that is when he has come free...and over shot...and isnt engaged to get back in the play....he's a decent rotational guy, and if he is on a dline where 3 other guys are being physical and responsible with gaps and run responsibility...then you can live with the deficiencies...I guess...but has a piss poor attitude...especially when being owned and when he is....his game totally evaporates.....over pay in my opinion for sure....CDN or not

Bronco's doing the Giants wide swath look at anyone who had a press clipping or highlight Not sure what they see/saw in Ajou tho.....Guess he getting the KSB look based on visuals And with Ford....he not in a good spot age/experience/pedigree wise....also position ......you know how many Ford's are kicking around there...younger....experienced in American ball....he needs to seriously look for the perfect situatuion...and even then....he has huge odds

kinda explains him to a tee actually....broken plays.....chicken with head off running around lunacy.....dumb decisions that panned out....designed run calls....tha have been his bread and butter, and have worked....at times....but a consistent cerbral QB to run an offence....look for...see....AND take advantage of a defense's weakness....he's not that guy

All things considered...
nothing wrong with starting an extra Canadian or using in heavy rotation....if they are good enough, AND...thats a big and...the best option...around here....it's not even a consideration with Osh.....and believe it of you want...or dont...but it hurts us and one could just imagine the even better success we could have had

yup...exuses are essentially for losers...and he didnt look great with all his players in to start.....and even before the run we made he still wasnt great....wasmt overly great during.....and save for the West Final which may have been one his best games in general since being here, he didnt really look 600kish worthy all yr....and looked typically nad in the Grey Cup...again

I'd say prob more...an average performance even by VAJ would have trumped any thing Zac has done in a grey cup That's something you can't really gauge...that being said being surrounded by the elite talent in its prime like ZC was...a quarterback just had to not be a moron...ZC landed in the ideal spot...I bet VAJ would have been just fine.. and the coaching and environment around him could have elevated his game even more in my opinion ..where has he been on an overwhelming elite team? Look at ZC in last bit of Hamilton and all of aSask...he looked like finished hot grabage

Mike Reily was a good coach...smart....even keeled but also no none sense and ran the ship as should be...perform...or sit...age out....youth will jump over u.....and players loved him
