Quote from: Jesse on July 28, 2025, 03:21:23 PMI don't necessarily want to feed the troll here, but what possible changes would you be expecting soon?

Expecting a change at receiver by necessity and possibly kick returner if Logan is ready.

Otherwise MOS says this:

Blue Bombers boss said there would be no rash in-the-moment decisions made in the immediate aftermath or the days ahead. Instead, they'll do what they always do — stick to the process is the party line — and hold firm that more film study, more work, and more preparation will put an end to a three-game skid

Sometimes changes have to be made, if not they can be made for you I suppose.....these next three are much watch TV imo.  Well, one in person.

Change for the sake of change ain't it. That shouldn't be the approach, IMO.

This recent slide has been ugly, no question. We're only 1/3 through the season here, though.

How about change after losing three games in a row.  Games the team was never really in and showed poor compete level at all three phases?   Should be more than a return from injury and an injury replacement in most cases one would think.  But not surprising some are sitting on their hands.  Let's see what Friday brings, hopefully some spark comes alive in them.

Quote from: Pete on July 28, 2025, 02:22:52 PMcompletely agree and it wouldn't have been going out an signing a bunch of free agents Even if we had just signed lawler and replacements for ford and dobson we wouldn't be where we are.
I know hindsight is 50/50 but it was a huge lack of appreciation to the fans who have sold out the home games more than any team in the league. They deserved a fighting chance to win won at home.

The Bomber home record the last 5 years has been outstanding, please accept that as the fans reward for attending the games.   Looks like most of them had a good time and enjoyed the experience.

We will stay the course.  We will see a new receiver.  Hopefully get healthy on the OL.  There isn't big change coming.  Stay the course, do some tweaks and keep active looking for players to add to the PR.  All about the OL imo.  I expect a bumpy road this summer, a little better early fall and a strong finish.  I think home playoff game is out of reach.  Get hot / healthy when it counts.  Have a couple existing guys step up.  Maybe a couple old faces return.  Sign a couple and i think we can right this ship.  I don't expect the world out of this club but I also see enough talent to still have a shot come late fall.

This is what will bring the big change I expect imo.  I see  this to be the blueprint that will be followed.  Wouldn't expect anything else.   A 3-4 win team heading into /after Banjo should tip the first domino.

I'm hoping for some injury related changes:

Obviously Zach playing an entire game, getting Stanley back, Vanterpool back at guard. Logan in on returns. I'd personally get Woods in at tackle and play Thomas less.

Non-injury related changes: I don't think Parker is doing a good job at safety. I loved him at corner when he was first coming up, so that's a two-birds one stone move. The big thing is who do we play at safety? People loved Cam Allen in preseason but does playing a rookie there help with communication breakdowns? I honestly don't know the answer, but it's been a season long challenge and isn't change for the sake of change, it's trying to fix a very real problem.

The other one being simply get Mitchell in the receiving core. I don't know what lapses kept him off the field, but if he's in game shape, get him on the field. Simplify his route tree if he's not picking up the assignments properly. Use the tools you have, not the tools you wish you had.

If Parker is going to be replaced at Safety I'd like to see a Natl. in his place, just for the added ratio flexibility it could bring. Possible solutions: Jake Kelly, Kramdi, Makonzo, maybe draft pick Smith if he understands the secondary playbook well enough.

We don't really need more ratio flexibility. We just need the best players possible.

I keep Parker at safety

Kramdi is going great where he is, I would not consider that

Quote from: bluebeard on July 21, 2025, 07:19:14 PMWow... we have lost one game and some of us are flipping out.  The sky is not falling.  It is a long season and it really is only about one third played.  We've gone to the Cup the last few seasons.  Other teams wish ( I think) to be in our shoes.  Give the coaching staff half a chance. :(
I think you mean 3 games in a row.

I think its time for some changed 3 bad games in a row for the Secondary something needs to change.

Sure they do, they'll need it when Woods becomes healthy, if not Woods comes on Person and Kornelson come off or Woods remains on the 1 game IR indefinitely.

Yeah need to figure that out.  I would try Vaval a little more at corner.  I don't see a quick solution to our issues, Bridges will take time. If the DL can play good again and our OL, I'm not worried
