Key word, pretend

Crum lined up at receiver and caught a pass. They might be setting up a trick play at some point.

Calgary missing pretty well all their receivers and of course VA.

Whoa, I would never have guessed that ZC8 is completing almost 70%. If he could avoid other jerseys more often, he might get something going.

Rich is on a canoeing trip this week, but I'm sure he'll honour your requested changes retroactively.

There is, but i love going to games.

Not as such one game, no, but it starts with one game. You could argue the season opener was that, but it won't take many bad appearances to have him cooked imo. A big game puts the heat on the mafia when Zach continues to be late-stage Zach. No net/cable at the lake? Honestly, that sounds even better lol.

If they did push it back, there is a game at 2 pm Winnipeg time and one at 6pm. Would they run two games Saturday afternoon or wait until Sunday?

Yeah, move my pick to Ottawa as well please.

Not in mine...im heading to the lake on Saturday.

I am not sure that anything less than a Doug Flutie-grade game will move him ahead of Collaros in O'Shea's mind. Maybe not even then.

TBH, if this game gets delayed, I think that plays in our favor. Though it likely only gets pushed a day or so.

Saturday is supposed to be a bit better. I wonder when we'll start hearing updates from the club or league. Hopefully fans are kept more informed than Riders fans were a couple of weeks ago.

Air quality health index is 8 or higher they won't play. Right now it's forecasted to be 9. https://www.cfl.ca/weather/

Right now its not looking great to even play tomorrow. Air quality has been **** all week (youth football practices have been canceled) and tomorrow night isnt supposed to be any better.

That’s great and all but your roster, its makeup and they’re deployed on game day go a long way to making that happen. Next man up is a great idea until that next man is nothing more than a career pylon.

Tevin Jones is kind of the exact player we need. Just kind of a reliable, do everything kind of receiver. Like Bailey who we never replaced. IMO Rhymes is no better than Wheatfall at this stage, kind of just good at one thing, struggles in short-intermediate to be productive.

I've known you for 25 years and that's the first I'm hearing of this......

I’d take Rhymes. Sterns and Brooks are basically the same player. Same age, same size, same numbers. Only difference is Brooks is in a better offense. Jones is the kind of guy this site would be complaining about us not trying to upgrade from. Old and just ok.

I feel like we are getting to make or break time with Strevy as well. It's not exactly a fair situation for him, but it never really is at QB. Zach is banged up again this year, and his stats are heavily padded based off 1 game vs Edm. Take that game away, and in 5 starts Zach has: 69% completion, 687 passing yards for 137 per game, 7.3 yards per attempt, with 4 passing tds, and 8 picks. 8 picks on 96 attempts is wild. He did get pulled twice for injury, but that only makes it worse. Game 1, Strevy was really solid. 246, 3 tds 1 int, 10.3 per attempt, last week in junk time throwing under the D he was solid as well. We would've been in the last game with a full start from Strev imo. Even though his production was padded by the situation. The 2nd Calgary game, where Strevy came in, was ugly though. Strev isn't going to get a clear shot at replacing Zach. It'll have to be a game like this where he steps up and overperforms in a tough spot.

Yeah, we can't say that. What we can say is that our commitment to Fodder has prevented us from getting all-star-level players. Of course, we could not have filled all our gaps with All-Stars the last 2 years. But we could've filled a couple. The way we run the roster has taken us out of the free agent market. On top of that, it takes us out of the ability to develop younger guys. Right now, I think Tony Jones is going to be in the conversation for All-Star at Lber. (flawed system as it is) He's on track for 111 tackles and 9 sacks. He only got a shot here because Biggie got hurt. Biggie stayed healthy but ineffective last year. Tony Jones doesn't happen. Now he's not a great player or a top 5 lber imo, but he is worlds better than late stages biggie was. That camp was loaded with extremely talented young Lbers worth developing. But we cut 'em to ride with Biggie. We are still sitting on Ayers, unwilling to give him a role/chance. We've all seen that with long-in-the-tooth vets. But also with random non-bomber vets. Josh Johnsons, Tyquan Glass', Rock Cartwrights, Kelvin McKnights, the marine etc. So many guys get all the rope in the world only for us to eventually admit defeat when we could've made moves monthes earlier and improved instantly. 100%, guys need to play in-game to see what they can do. We hit diminishing returns so hard on guys riding the bench. I think it's most of those points. We aren't doing a great job of developing guys, and guys aren't chomping at the bit for spots because it doesn't happen unless an injury forces it. We need to be cycling imp WRs especially. This is Sterns 3rd season in the cfl. We can't protect him from competition and he isn't winning his spot.

Yeah I'm not gonna pretend to know everything, but I do know that we've dressed guys who haven't taken a single snap in a game, I know situations like hecht at safety... Hurl at MLB... these guys don't always dress the best. Guys like kolankowski I'd be trying damned hard to replace rather than them being bullet proof as one example.

I'd take any two out of Rhymes, Jones or Brooks over Sterns and Wheatfall.

I'd take Philpot as well but he is on the 1 game with Alford WRs for the Stamps are Rhymes, Tevin Jones, Brooks, Erik Baldwin, Kaylen Horton and Vyshonne Janusas... 3 rookies, a 2nd year guy and then 2 vets.
