Buono ditched Harris - it was a huge mistake... everyone knew that he wanted to come back and play in front of his family and hometown...??

I think what will happen is Hall is fired unless we win the Cup and MOS gets year 6. Nobody will do anything about him at all. Walters gets even more of a pass. Seriously, ever read or hear anything negative from the media on him? He engages with the local media so he is well liked.

Maybe old school football fans and media people like the idea of a canuck head coach, and manager, and ceo.

August 26, 20186 yr comment_350753 I feel like Walters does a good job with free agency and has built on NI talent well and I like having 2 firsts next year but we have some glaring weaknesses that have been here his entire 5 years.
August 26, 20186 yr comment_350756 Six years for this franchise without a playoff victory. Longest streak in the league. Even Montreal has a playoff victory in that time span. Sigh.

They aren't Canadian issues either. They are American. Like receiver & defensive line.

Walters has done a good enough job to warrant some slack. But if he is prepared to go through another season, he is part of the problem.

Whether it’s with Flanders who I prefer, or with Demski, we’ve had tons of success with that formation. Start Streveler, dress Flanders and let Demski come into the backfield on sweeps. There won’t be a team in the league that could stop our running game. We can’t win throwing with Nichols and this receiving core. Even Lafrance is a pretty useful player. Can run, catch and block, just does good things when he gets on the field.

I still maintain that a lot of the continued weaknesses come down to roster management and less so recruitment. How many guys are rotting on the practice roster (Flanders, C.Washington) while Lankford and Wild are on the field. I mean how is Wild on the field defending 2nd and long when you’ve got Fenner playing only special teams?!

I thought Sayles 37 was the last one chasing on that one. Maybe a different play you’re referring to. If so... ugh yup just bad all around

The import scouting has been ****, and I think partially because they don't do a good job of developing guys or giving new guys a real shot to develop. Instead they get stuck on one dimensional players like Lankford, because he's so damn fast! He can make like two big plays in a whole season just by being so fast!

August 26, 20186 yr comment_350786 Good points about whether its entirely Walters and Co or how this coaching staff develops players and manages its roster.
August 26, 20186 yr comment_350796 Montreal's offense has looked measurably better than ours the last two weeks. Let that sink in.

The 2 and outs this team has put up including Streveler's last start to today's game are astounding, even in games they've won. It's been Harris, D and insane special teams.

BC should have kept him Signing Dressler, Bowman, Moore, Smith, Stafford, etc... these are kind of 'meh' to me - Dressler is nice but I'd rather have developed our own guys... Well if that's the case, you should ask why, and I'd say it's because it takes a good GM to provide the kind of place that players want to go to. That was something Mack could not do and something Reed is failing bad at. But that wasn't really even the main point. Point is I wonder if they will have the guts to make a coaching change if necessary, or would they hang on to MOS the same way he has Richie Hall.
