It confuses me, because it seems like people only do this with defensive players as if that makes it make more sense. Let's try it with some other examples. "If Chris Normand could put on 10 pounds, he's pretty fast, he could probably play DE!" "Ian Wild is the same size as Andrew Harris, just a little taller, maybe he could play RB as a backup" "Addison Richards has all the measurables, maybe he'd make a good receiver!" In this case it might have to do with him spending as much time if not more coming out of lber as de... It doesnt happen as much on offense because on offense guys slide around through out the game.
February 22, 20178 yr comment_251341 I don't get the size thing either. Wouldn't the better argument be Bass wasn't really an actual middle linebacker? He's more of a WIL like Wild so not that big of a loss really since can't have 2.
February 23, 20178 yr comment_251449 The only thing I don't really understand about the WIL spot, is why keep wild over bass? Dont get me wrong I don't mind wild but it seems he has missed some what considerable playing time over the last while and bass was, I would say, playing at a very high level

The smile on his face after the hit says it all

MOS saw this and said "ZOMG JORB FOR LIFE!!11!" lol you know it. I'm not trying to say it was that moment exactly, but I think moments like that stand out for a coach, IE: playing whistle to whistle even with the game done and season over. I do believe Osh views Wild as the better WIL and tried Bass out in the middle last year just to make use out of the asset, but it wasn't good enough Edited February 23, 20178 yr by Taynted_Fayth

I do believe Osh views Wild as the better WIL and tried Bass out in the middle last year just to make use out of the asset, but it wasn't good enough I think there's a ton of stuff that goes on at practice, in the locker room...even stuff that shows up on game film that we don't see, which contributes to the guy coaches want to keep around. I agree that Bass is younger and likely healthier, and all things being equal, he seems like the logical choice. Having said that, there's clearly a lot more to it...a lot more going on....that made the coaches/management decide to keep Wild.
February 23, 20178 yr comment_251479 Quote It’s easy to be a Wild fan, says O’Shea, who calls Wild the complete pros pro. “He has always been professional, he looks after himself tremendously well. His daily habits allow him to do what he’s able to do on the football field If you’re a young guy in that locker room, all you have to do is look at him and figure out what you need to be doing. He’s a guy that you need, you have to have in your organization” said O’Shea. http://www.cjob.com/2016/08/09/oshea-wild-about-wild/
February 23, 20178 yr Author comment_251480 ^^ Exactly...I remember MOS raving about Wild leading the team stretching. How fanatical he was about yoga and stuff, and getting other guys into it. He's a pro's pro, alright...

We can't expect that to happen again. I have real mixed feelings about Hall's return. He is a veteran defensive coach who has been tot the Grey Cup, and ought to know his stuff, but some of his defensive adjustments (or lack thereof) caused me to scratch my head. But it is not much of a surprise and it confirms the suspicions of many that O'Shea is utterly loyal- even to a fault. Maybe a better pass rush which was noticeably absent for much of last season will make things better for Hall's defence. Now all we need is a good MLB to emerge from the pack. It might be Smith.
February 25, 20178 yr comment_251780 Walters and O'Shea did a hour on H and L yesterday. They asked who they brought in last year that was on PR will step up this year. Said that Nick Temple will be a household name by the end of the year. Also mentioned Kieran Duncan in the same light.

He'll be replacing Burnett... not our MLB solution

February 25, 20178 yr comment_251796 Just now, Jpan85 said: Only the head coach Really? Missed that entirely. But then again, if O'Shea and Floyd are of differing opinions, I'm siding with Floyd every time, cause... blue dog is blue.
