OC questions

Like Rasheed Bailey?

Bigger, at least 240 lbs. of thunder, there must be a few tight-ends in the NFL that fit the mould.

Lewis was a unicorn. 5'10", 240 lbs (maybe more later in his career), a real bowling ball. The average NFL tight end is 6'4", 230 lbs. For some reason tight ends in the CFL seemed to have fall off after the Peter Dalla Riva era, maybe due to the good ones being gobbled up by the NFL, plus our larger field which gives the advantage to smaller faster receivers. We also tend to use O-lineman and fullbacks for our "heavy" sets.

It's pretty evident he's got no clue at the pro level. He's made ostensibly zero progress in his role as OC this season.

Our offense is very predicable as well, In Hamilton on the first interception it was pretty clear that Jamal Peters knew that if Streveler fakes the sweep to Demski hes going either run or  throw the quick out. By getting ahead of the receivers he was in position to stop both. (he also didnt really have to worry about Strev or the Bomber faking it as we are not that creative

Actually, we could just fatten up Strevler

LOL, there you go!

Oshea bringing up 2019 Strev is insulting and embarrassing for fans.

This coming from the guy who always says he's on to next week and doesn't look back at previous anything in football.

I can only suspect Wade Miller is not happy with the team and Osheas attitude.

I wish we could trade Oshea for Dinwiddie.  It's time for a fresh voice i think

You know, I really admire and respect Dinwiddie for what he's done and accomplished as a coach. Who knew our old backup Qb, who wasn't very good as a player, would become an offensive genius in this league and win a GC with a backup Qb- something he couldn't do as a player. Offensive scheme wise, he's light years ahead of our sad lot of coaches. And he's a fiery guy, not afraid to call his players out, and not afraid to get in the face of an opponents bench after they were chirping them all game (last game vs Edmonton).

Fatten him up AND get Strevie on the same juice Oullette was doing last season... Keep the brace on, and just steamroll everyone.  LOL

There's actually some merit to this... and he can do SY and try the odd pass!

In the Sep 17 Hogan presser in the video links page, at around 2:15 some dude tells Hogan something like "Brady said they could be put in better situations".  To me that's Brady saying "coaches are failing us", "don't blame just the players".

Either Hogan didn't understand the question/comment or he was playing coy.  He deflected and said something like "good players have each other's backs".  After he did say something about "his job is to put the players into better situations".  (everything paraphrased)

If Brady's (hearsay) comments are indicative of what the locker room is feeling, there could be trouble in river city.  That means they know they are better players than what is showing up on game day, and that it's the coaches/OC letting them down.

Well, at least people are starting to identify the problem... that's step #1.

Hogan does not have nearly enough experience. None as a player. And a limited contributor as a running back coach.  Come on? The team played the loyalty card.  Nice!  Are we doing  any favors? Zac should sue for malpractice. We have a o line that is probably the most poorest. We try, but as one poster said, why not bring back Singh?.

Why not sign Lawler? Gambling in horrific knee injured players Has not paid off. I am so sorry #83 hurt his knee again. At. Least Strev has produced o his potential.
How about the flubbed signings in free agency.

I guess the season started with a mystery suspension of angelic Zac. It's been a journey that's for sure!

It's interesting how quickly fans turn on their team.

Yup, was the same story before our mini dynasty run, people get impatient and fast.  Like the ocean comes in waves.  I prefer to ride high.

Admitting is the 1st step

There's definitely been a couple.

BUT, pointing out things that we disagree with or would do differently is not turning on the team. It's actively engaging with the team.

But people questioning their season ticket packages or asking for refunds in Grey Cup tickets get no patience from me.

I was surprised by that comment, just wondering when Brady made it and to who?  One thing I've noticed about Brady, the longer he talks the more trouble he gets into with his words, it's not hard to get him to reveal what he's really thinking.

[TecnoGenius]

Oh ya, and watch the Sep 17 MOS presser!  He coyly distances himself from the shambles OC / scheme / playcalling issue by saying something like "I have basically nothing to do with scheme & playcalling".  He spelled out what his role is, which is what I said in other threads: provide overall direction, but no X&O's, no specific play calls.

I maintain that our biggest issue IS the X&O's... or lack thereof.  We must have the dumbest, simplest play book in the whole league.  It's like the anti-Lapo book.
