But that's the issue. Move on to next week when we don't get better? I see little to no improvement- hell even a little regression from week to week. It's disheartening.

Was the second int he threw that bad? Or good D?

I genuinely don’t think any changes we can make between now and the rest of the year can make any difference whatsoever. It’s too far gone. Start planning and introducing for next year.

Going with a 4 American isn't always going work. Look at BC, 4 Yanks and they still get beat by Canadian players.

Maybe not deep deep but he had a few good ones today I also think we win the Calgary at home if he doesn’t get hurt

Collaros hitting many deep balls today?

Good or bad Zach always gives us the best chance to win, especially if the game is close. As soon as he went out the riders stacked the line and strev is not good enough to hit the deep ball.

What in the world

I mean if Collaros is down I'd be surprised if they win more than 1 more game. We don't get to play BC or Toronto again. Just Ottawa once. Montreal at home when we might already be out of it.

Collaros wasnt playing great but at least he was able to run some plays inside the SSK 45 yard line. Looking at the play by play in the second half the offense had a 0 yard run by Brady at the 40 and Streveler threw a pick scrimmaging from the 43.

One bad week away from being tied for last in the West.

If I'm Collaros I would seriously ponder retirement, sure he can still play but at what cost for the future.

They were running right at Woodbey and Vaughters today. Not even sure either made a tackle. That's all LB's are out there to do vs the run. Flow to the ball, make a play.

I see no reason not to work our high draft picks in considering some of the useless NIs that get dressed. So you lose guys like Wilson or Jones at LB, boo hoo.

We should have kep the ball on the ground. Just feed Brady. If we don't get a first down we punt it away so the Riders have a long field to work with. That was a Hogan call. It was dumb. Hogan had already gave up on the running game.

Ok now analyze the other 20 spots on the field where we lose every week. Well you don't build a roster from scratch every year. But they should turn the WIL spot into a Canadian one because it's not like the Americans they are using there are making any plays.

You know what the most damping thing about the roster usage is? Corcoran gets WAY more playing time on offense than either of the linebackers we picked high get on defense. So why the **** didn't we take Corcoran first? Seems to me the simple solution is play your best Canadians first and fill in other pieces around them i don't believe for a second that we do that.

I would start by turning the WIL spot to a Canadian spot. You have that, you have Kramdi and the rest of the D is flexible. Open up another 2 American spots, use one on O, one on DL. Woodbey, Wilson, Ayres...no more than 1 of them should be dressed unless you're going to try to use Woodbey or Ayres as an edge rusher. I'd pretty quickly consider going to 4 Americans on the OL. Because we aren't going anywhere with this group. Way too inconsistent both run and pass. Not going to unearth a Canadian out of nowhere and the ones we have can't play. Dressing 2 of that group of Canadians would be all I could stomach. Would be looking at calling back guys we cut, had a crapload of Americans in camp, or guys from other CFL camps. See if you can stabilize for rest of season. I'd be looking for another receiver/RB/returner option. Echols could be it. But should be trying to sign others for a look. Looking for a spark from someone as a playmaker in the last third. Guys like Mitchell, Wheatfall, easy to drop them while looking for that spark because they are providing nothing most weeks.

No, a Grey Cup is not even in conversation. But they are not the reason for the last 2 losses. The biggest reason is the OL, as you've been saying for weeks. There are changes that could be made there...

So, even though the Americans are bad as you say we replace them with a Canadian who is worse.

Ok so what the **** is Pokey supposed to do different? He's got multiple guys on him.and the ball is thrown to him and not ahead of him. I know you're a collaros apologist, but they weren't a receiver doing something wrong, they were balls they dbs had a chance at. The one before half especially shouldn't have been thrown. Situational awareness dictates a turnover is the worst case Ontario. And further to that.... collaros has thrown those exact same interceptions a million times this season. He's forcing plays without having the ability to put those balls where only the receiver can catch it. It's not a new thing

For me it's mostly because I'm not 100% certain the INTs are his fault. Could be Pokey. *Could*.

Oh yeah he will double down with his boys, but it would send a hell of a message if you made Willie Jefferson a healthy scratch.

I have routinely said I don't know enough to know. But I'm very interested in the conversation. I truly appreciate JBR posts because I think he's the closest to actually knowing how this can get better.

It just astounds me that people can watch collaros throw ints that cost the team 2 scores, and momentum and turn around and blame the backup qb.
