With the changes on the O-line, I wonder how long it will take for them to gel as a unit. Elsbury has not impressed me, but what do I know? Truth be told, we do have an increasingly brittle quarterback and unproved backups. Should Collaros get dinged in the first game due to the changes on the O-line, we are in a world of hurt. It shouldn't be hard for Elsbury to be an upgrade, but the line will need time to get used to each other, and I hope it will not be at the expense of Collaros.

I'd like 2 of those 3 and a guy who can really dominate a game from the X spot to build an offense around. They will be missing that again. The ideal receiving corps for Collaros is a big sturdy X who can be a threat at 3 levels (Lawler, Adams), a big sturdy slot or Z (Fantuz, Wolitarsky), a couple sneaky route running playmaking slots (Schoen, Demski, Tasker, Wilson), a speed/YAC guy (Bailey) and another big body (Ellingson, Bakari Grant). I think we have 2/5 of those things and we're hopeful Nield can make it 3/5. And we need everyone to stay healthy.

I've had this OL concern all off-season... or at least since we signed Broxton... We had a top RT last year and then we signed a top LT... as much as I love the future HoFer/GOAT Big Stan... I have trouble believing a Bryant-Broxton bookend is better than a Broxton-Randolph combo... Also in a emergency... I'd have to guess we line up Vaval at receiver did you just steal this bit from @GCn20 ?

Yeah the healthy top 5 group of receivers you can absolutely work with... but what's after them? Yikes.

No kidding lol who goes that hard on the tailgating before noon

Always tough playing against Vernon Adam’s in June, less worried about him in October or November..

technically a receiver should never stop moving, especially if for whatever reason the QB has to go off script

Odd...I said Griffin should be SAM (for over 2 yrs now)...Jenkins and Dixon should be on roster...Williams looked to be the best of the DB's and likely has that spot. Said Fletcher and Reese need to be kept around somehow...and if u actually look at my posts from TC I also said that I bet they keep Mazzccua after watching a few days of camp as there something there...and we kept him too....so kind of shows you are full of **** As for previous guys I liked....Fox is playing elsewhere...Garbutt too but still hurt. Devon Adams landed a spot of defending Grey Cup Champs...so again, just cause the dear leader here cuts a guy isnt the be all end all....but keep being you

hate to see that. Begelton is a massive receiver, one of my favorite non-bombers. Love those guys who can solo a passing attack no matter who's playing QB. I hope he gets better, but he's been banged up for almost a year now..

I’m guessing Larkin is thinking only true contenders on where we wants to land not a bubble or usual first round loser.

yeah, I liked his breakdown of Kiondre Smith's big catch where Lawler ran a clearout route that drew the entire Als secondary, and I like how he diagnosed the pick six as BLM taking too long to throw to the curl route. People who know about football -- if you're a receiver and you run a curl route and the ball doesn't hit you immediately, shouldn't you go find a soft spot in the D rather than standing flat-footed staring at the QB? I was taught that flat-footed receivers cause interceptions...

ol Dinwiddie...stirrin **** up lol

delete.

Sure. But Larkin has now gone public. I doubt he just says trade me to Winnipeg tho lol. That’s ridiculous. I was just saying rumors are it’s preferred or he’d waive to come here so it’s possible he has Detroit over a barrel and doesn’t want to help them and maybe after a few years of a rift with the gm, it’s reported they don’t get along it’s 1 or the other. Do I think Detroit accepts a low ball offer? No I don’t. I think Perfetti Yager 27 1st or even 26 1st rd pick swap would be minimum.

Solid top 3 for sure....Demski staying healthy is a concern...when has he of late? Neild and Clercius are solid as u get for 2nd Canadian but we have zero business....none....starting 3, let alone have depth for it....that's a major concern....

Greg Bell will be a healthy scratch for the Redblacks tomorrow. Highest paid American rb in the league.

I think I’m more interested in attendance in Calgary and tv ratings for this game. Cuz Hamilton was like a 10 pack in a 20 pack box of Tim bits last night. Curious how the tv ratings did. Cuz yeah not sure this starting early thing. I’ll give Hamilton an excuse and Thursday so kids have school Friday. Calgary. No excuses for a Friday.

In all seriousness tho. O should be better by default. Zach still Zach tho and when you live by the gun you die by the gun. Take the good you try to limit the bad. Let Zach manage the game and try to keep him with in his kind of zone like area and not ask him to throw 40 yard passes more than a few times a game and we should be ok. This O could be a time possession type of O who eats lots of clock and it’s prob best if it were. Spread the ball around. Is it nice to score in 3 4 plays? Yup but it’s also fun to score on 8 9 10 play drives. Gives your D who was solid last year and appears improved In a few key areas including cornerback which was a revolving door last year some rest also. The O prob doesn’t need to be spectacular. Just be average or a bit better than average cuz last year we were garbage. But essentially this is pre season 3. So not to high not to low. Still not even July lol.

Honestly pokey, white and demski isn't the worst group you can have.... they just gotta stay healthy. Probably see different guys stepping up in different games depending on what the other team's doing. It's just the depth is pretty nonexistent

That’s what’s called a real fan. We be loud and proud win lose or draw. Don’t matter. (narrators voice: although winning is the preference).

Hot Take. Zach gets hurt. We trade for Dru after giving TE a few games where he shows potential and wins 1 loses 1 wins 1 loses 1 type thing. Dru comes in and goes on a run ala Zach where we end up winning the cup in Calgary and TE like Streveler plays a pivotal role in the finals where he hits Corcoran for the winning TD on a 3rd down gamble with seconds to go. Hotter take cuz click rage bait. All players Booch endorse eventually get cut.
