They better have a good reason why the 911s aren't back til the middle of October https://tvline.com/news/abc-fall-tv-premiere-dates-2025-911-greys-anatomy-1235466281/

Id take it, better than the Winnipeg Rough Riders or Roughriders

I'm willing to give him a chance, but I am not particularly optimistic.

So did such underperformers as Josh Johnson. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it but right now I stand by my feeling that he's not a quality CFL receiver.

We absolutely need to bring some guys in at receiver. Our receiving corps is sub par.

For when Wheatfall gets hurt.

Why waste energy pre-judging, wait and see what he does, he made the team for a reason.

At the end of the day the GM is the guy who offers the contracts. The fact that Jake Thomas or other long in the tooth guys are still here is 100% on Walters. I could give a crap if MOS wants these guys, sometimes as GM you gotta save a coach from himself. I look at his body of work over the past 3 years and I see a big fat F grade for Walters. Our depth is suspect, our OL and DL are average at best, and our NAT content is deteriorated compared to when we were the envy of the league. That's on the GM. I'm not trying to give MOS an out with these comments either, he needs to be better.

1. Every player in the CFL has a highlight reel like this. 2. He failed to make a catch during his one year in the Big Ten. 3. He did little in his three games last year. 4. He did little in either pre season this year or last. 5. Its not even like he was standing out in camp this year. The guys we kept hearing about during camp were Wheatfall and Myron Mitchell who we cut. So add all that together and I see little reason to be excited by Case or to expect that he is going to step up and be this big weapon for us.

Why is Mitchell still around, then? To pull pranks at practice?

Looks like Case has some pretty decent skills, all depends whether the QB can get the ball to him or not. Holm says he's the 2nd fastest player on the team next to himself.

Lawler is really good, but he has not been durable.......

Make note, Hamilton still doesn't make effective use of their running game, they may look like the "Belle of the Ball" during the summer with BLM filling the air with footballs, but their magic likely fades away in the fall when his fingers turn to ice.

I don't really think we have that major of an issue at receiver. Wheatfall has shown he can make the big plays , Demski has shown he can do what he's always does, Clercius is physical and an improvement over previous NI, and as much as people hate on Sterns he has made 13 receptions on 16 targets and isn't dropping balls or doing anything bad at all. From my non coach eyes the issues on our passing game has come to careless deep balls that are more 40/60 then 50/50 balls where Zach is tossing it into double or triple coverage forcing our receiver to either make an insane catch or at least fight the defender to knock the ball away. In the before time it seemed like he would be doing this in one on one battles where a guy like Schoen/Lawler who are above average can win these battles on a regular basis. I don't mind them going deep when needed... but in a close game with plenty of time left I don't understand the hope and a prayer deep bomb.

Mitchell still not making the active roster is concerning... did they not evaluate his skills and abilities at all... or did they assume he would beat out Wheatfall for that spot?? I'm happy Person is finally getting a shot.... hopefully he'll get a bunch of snaps and make an impact... still concerned we haven't seen J Jones yet... seemed like a solid addition and we have refused to use him... Kyrie Wilson is still great when healthy and of course he manages to stay healthy when there are as good (or better) and much younger options on the squad...

Well he's probably pretty much there anyway... which based on game 1 ain't so bad....

I know he needs more reps but I'm just curious to get a better understanding on how much growth is still there with Strev until we know he has hit his limit and what you see is what you get with him.

Strev can so get ball out lightning fast and run tempo...ZC can't no more

Looking at the stats, Collaros is throwing it a bit deeper per attempt (9.4 depth yards vs 8.5 depth yards) but Streveler was way more successful on passes 20+ deep at a similar pace... against BC he was 4/5 whereas in Collaros' 3 games he has been 5/16 and has 2 picks. Kind of points to the fact that Collaros really doesn't have much going on those deep passes... the only QBs worse than Collaros percentage wise are Masoli (known to be cooked) and Shiltz and Crum... anyone clamoring for the good old days the actual started closest to Collaros is Brown at 37.5% (6/17)... there must be something in the water in Ottawa because all those QBs are terrible deep. Oh and I guess MBT is 0-9(!!!!!)

ZC needs game breakers and guys who can win battles and have big catch radius now...we have Clercius who is dependable and can battle...Demski who can be a game breaker when not beat up and having to win contested catches in traffic...and wheatfall who can be real effective...with help...hes still leaning and with the other crap we have..sterns and now Case...he not gonna get a lot of help...nor are those 2 guys gonna elevate ZC game But a Geno Lewis...Rhymes...Coxie..Dunbar...to name a few would have gave us and ZC a target he could utilize and make us better than scrap heaping White and Sterns...and just not using Mitchel for whatever reason they have...some guys just don't shine unless yhe lights are on...and we are the worst organization in league with giving fresh blood chances...and it's killing us

Yup I think you're onto something here. Right now with what we got we need to control the line of scrimmage, establish the run to open up the playbook, give ZC that extra steamboat to minimize him forcing it to Demski and minimizing him lobbing it up for hopes and prayers.

Yeah...originally I don't think the mental stuff was there...it will be now tho mind you I have a feeling he won't be seen until labor dayish now You can come back like he did but sometimes even tho "healed" it takes a good year once back to playing to get full range of motion...lose the tight feeling...build the neighboring muscles and stuff up...and was obvious he wasn't there Id be shocked to see him resemble what he was pre injury this yr...he may be done for yr even...which makes it more imperative that they gave Mitchell the shot now as he showed he can be a game breaker...we know what Case is...Sterns with lighter skin..less experience and likely less upside...parking his arse on the PR for a few more weeks would have made zero difference for his development...Mitchell needs the chance to show what he has...or we cut bait and bring some guys in

Following the herd with Lawler. 🐑

I also maintain that with better quarterbacking we might see more from receivers. I dunno but we really didn't see many people really bitching about the receivers after game 1. Just seems there's a real disconnect between what the team is bringing in vs. what works with collaros, yet they are so committed to collaros. I dunno feels like there's a turning point coming soon in terms of how things are being done.
