Re: Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

with the vets - constant tinkering with assignments may be causing them to second guess themselves - part of the problem with dealing with constant injury and shuffling

100% correct the most important thing for an O-Lineman is to be able to do his job without constantly thinking of his partner's assignment and his own footwork. An O-lineman should be confident in his partners knowing their assignment so he can handle his own. This is the problem with the lack of continuity along the line.

I'm going to listen to and hold the comments and opinions of the former pro player and current head coach of a pro football team as being 1000 times more correct over the thoughts and opinion of a fan and moderator of fan posting site.

But he's a "super moderator" lol

That's right. That means he knows more than anyone else.

Not at all, but there are some small little people who like to pop up and bitch about that title (which is a vbulletin forum thing, that is under every moderators title).

...but isn't it funny, when in this thread alone, we have both Rotor and DanLaurin agreeing with me.....and you agree with them.

You are entitled to believe whatever you like Q....

You can believe that Kavis really isn't going to evaluate his receivers performance.........and just take an angry sound bite as gospel.....

You can even believe that it's unfair to judge their play because they're new, but not give the same courtesy to guys on the O-Line who have had to come in just as quickly....

You can believe that playcalling makes no difference to countering a pass rush.....

...and I'm entitled to laugh at and debate those points, or call them out, just like anyone else.

...but what you can't do, is continue to troll or make personal attacks.

Re: Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

Prinsen - gets to pick his guys - and has ratio discretion ie can play as many imports as he would like to protect Ray (well likely they would veto him if he wanted 5 imports but you know what i mean) the team views this as a priority - his mandate is to play the best 5 available regardless of nationality

While I don't disagree with the thought that Prinsen gets to pick his guys...that ratio discretion statement also seems to be based on the premise that an import OL will be better than a NI.

Based on our current personnel and their performance last game, I would disagree with anyone who put any of our current imports in our top 3 OL overall. Patrick's (IIRC) complete whiff on K. Williams was the worst OL play I've seen in a LONG time.

as I said best five regardless of nationality - if that means Prinsen thinks 5 cdns do that best - his decision - if he thinks three imports and two CDNs does that - again his decision

the whole premise of REGARDLESS of NATIONALITY means simply that Prinsen gets to choose his guys whomever he selects as his best

but he can't use his best guys unless the HC approves it???

on most teams the HC controls the ratio - so - the OL coach will tell the HC how many imports he wants to play - the HC will either grant that wish or say no you can only have 1 import

Seems like at the end of the day, Prinsen works with what he is given from Kavis & ET, or am I misunderstanding what you are saying?

that if Prinsen wants all Cdns that Reed will use the imports elsewhere
that If Prinsen wants three Imports - Reed will play CDNs elsewhere to oblige it

essentially the Ratio management starts after Prinsen Decides who his five best players are
the OL is considered top priority so whatever ratio on the OL Prinsen wants he gets - (although I doubt they would give him five imports if he asked)

Picking OUR best five OL????? Jeebus........ wouldn't want that job... 'cause it's next to impossible given how they have played

so basically our oline woes lay heavily on prinsen..........

Somehow, I get this ugly feeling that Kavis is already preparing a "sorry we had to let Tim go" speech just in case things don't get better.

That's the impression I was getting from some of Rotor's posts in this thread as well but I didn't want to put words in anyone's mouth. I guess if the recent O line's problems is primarily Prinsen's then that goes a ways towards absolving ET or MC for any of their current issues. Would that be correct Rotor? Funny how Prinsen has suddenly forgotten how to coach an oline. He had a pretty good stretch of 10 games or so there from last season through the first 5 games of this season. I wonder if he suddenly has forgotten how to coach the positon? Some of their current issues couldn't possible be because of certain personnel changes made this season could it or perhaps play calling? I know there are those who would state that those were entirely TP's decisions (personnel that is) but I never once heard him say anything about wanting to get Washburn back in there. I did however hear KR and ET echo those sentiments several times when he first came back off injury. In fact when I did hear a reporter ask him about Washburn after he was released TP clearly did not want to talk about it and basically responded with a no comment. Was an interesting response I thought. In any event I personally do not hold TP singularly responsible for the play of the o line. He's proven to me in stretches that he is a very capable coach. Think that ET, KR, and MC also have to take some of the responsibility here for varying reasons as far as I'm concerned.
