    No need for spin unless you are Buck. The fans agree with Brady.

  • All this stuff is just excuses... fact is they opted to play an injured player rather than give a healthy player the chance. They need to own that decision as a coaching staff.

  • 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.

A little bit whiny for my taste.... But was glad to see him say, toward the end, it's not my place to say anything. I'm just one piece of the pie.

I can't fault him. I bet he may end up regretting saying that to the media cause I'm sure it'll be spinned...but I like that he said it. Hopefully it's another wake up call for everyone that changes need to be made.

He got in trouble with his mouth last off-season, took him awhile to earn fans back after he signed.

for real??!?!?1....I would have,,,...and he should have said more.....and some are biting their tongues right now...hard ....keeping quiet at times allows crap to fester...and yes players have right to make coaches accountable too.....he's earned th explanation.....guys who are ho hum about it need to be expelled...coaches included

Others on the list echoed that desire, including veteran offensive linemen Stanley Bryant and Pat Neufeld and defensive end Willie Jefferson, who had an outstanding Grey Cup performance.

After opening the season 0-4, then going to 2-6 before finishing 11-7 and winning the West Division title, Bryant said the way they lost the Grey Cup was disappointing and embarrassing.

“Just can’t go out like that,” said Bryant, an eight-time CFL all-star who turns 39 in May.

Players like these 3....thats who you bring back...and they see that they were failed and it's not right...nor what we wanna be remembered as.....enough of the Oshea Country Club of friends and Favorites.....

It IS his place to say something. He’s a leader on this team and the engine that keeps our offense running. I’m glad he spoke up, especially given that the coaching staff won’t ever explain a single thing publicly.

I appreciate someone questioning the process.

Have we given up on the possibility of Strev being the next in line.

Yes because Buck for some reason wants to play him like Lapo did with him doing gadget plays and being a battering ram.     I almost want Strev to get a fresh start where they will treat him like a QB.  

 

I feel with our great RB and receivers... if we had a guy who can distribute the ball without taking unnecessary risks (i.e. Zach forcing throws and the ints getting out of control)  that we would do really well.   Sadly Trevor Harris in the grey cup would of done signficantly better then Zach.   I'm guessing we stick with Zach next season and then two years from now they revisit who they want to start for the club.  I'm guessing next year is just another year where we wash out and following that we go through the growing pains of starting with a new QB.

Like players....coaches too have to be held accountable....a player messes up...underperformed...usually they get yanked...except here it seems if you are a vet...or a player the coach has some odd love for...same should hold true with coaches..they are a team...right?

Kudos dor speaking up...more could have been said...I bet more will

Dinwiddie = Cal Murphy?

Wash your mouth out with soap. 🙂

Not an exact clone or anything, but 
as a modern day equivalent, he’s closer than anyone else in the league. 

I used the comparison because Dinwiddie can be kind of crusty towards his players when it’s needed, the same way Cal was. 

I see similarities between Osh and Richie as “players coach” types, letting veteran players kind of run the room. 

Both approaches can work at different times, but I always thought the Head Coach needs to be a bit of a **** every so often.

Sure but when I hear the word legend, Dinwiddie's name does not come to mind (maybe in time).

But hey to each their own.

Idk, I hate Toronto as a franchise both now and historically, but I mean 2 Grey cup wins and a 16-1 season in the first 4 years of a HC career is pretty damn impressive.

well Dinwiddie has been to 2 cups...won both....both times as the big underdog....once with looney toons and a raw sex pest at QB...the other with career nobody Arbuckle.....who's the better coach?...He also as an organization has way less support and significantly less to his disposal in terms of facilities...amenities...etc....
