O'Shea's patience is a choice, not a default

Facing Edmonton, Montreal and Saskatchewan twice in the next four games, O'Shea still called the team a “work in progress” and gave no public indication of a lineup shake-up. The celebration of David Reese's first career interception is the tell: the coaches are rewarding incremental young-player moments rather than panicking over a defence that just allowed 21 points to a still-winless Ottawa team.
