the issue is our DI options right now are Ayers: Oshea is very reluctant to drop our best return coverage guy, and likely doesn't yet trust Shay enough to back up lbs Griffin Jr. ; has been one of our best defenders Castillo Vaval; who has been great as well Cooley: brings more to the offence than another receiver Until Olivera returns I don't see the above changing.

Wow. Cool.

Another semi interesting note via 3DN... Remember Marwan Hage, kids? Well, he's back! ...As a minority owner of the TiCats...

Unfortunately as the science evolves, it seems in more and more cases recovery may not be an option, more of how to cope as best you can. Ask Matt Dunnigan.

I dont think Schoen has that burst/seperation ability after the catch yey and Demski is always banged up so swapping out Sterns for a guy like Mitchel who has big play abilitywould be wise to open things up a bit

The reality is players that get knocked out cold in the CFL often play again the very next week, pretty sure that's not enough time for proper recovery, but the league, the players and the CFLPA play along as if it is.

If Harris plays having your 3 most visible players (Milligan, Ouellette and Harris) get concussions and play the next week almost seems to be verging on Coaching/Training Staff malpractice.

Think Mace is a but dense...Prety sure it happened on that play where he got drilled and cranked his punchable head hard on the ground as it snapped back from the impact...and they let him continue to play...me and my buddy saw that right away he should have been pulled from that last game...but wasnt..the Rider training staff is pretty inept for most part anyway so not shocking I already picked against them anyway...so I good! lol

Truth.

We aren’t even using schoen well. I’d swap Mitchell for sterns atleast. We could always use a top end wr or even more depth. Qft. And some teams plays don’t involve most of the kick cover guys. The best combination of decision making, release, and football iq. Imo, release speed is the best success indicator and measurable for a qb.

Yup. At the EOD health #1.

Harris missed the 2nd practice of the week and wasn't even seen on the sidelines. If Maier starts, a lot of folks are going to change their pick this week.

You’re never just fine shortly after a concussion. And even if you don’t feel wonky, you are at serious risk. Diagnosed concussion should be an automatic week off. Don’t want to see his career end on a concussion. Not if it’s preventable.

And Mace is also saying he's fine just getting him better but don't know about that. Crap, don't like to see this.

Yes. Like BLM did in Hamilton last year, Milanovich convinced him to go through his reads from near to far. The receivers are great, Wheatfall, Schoen and Demski are top 3 on any team, Mitchell is backup, White could be called back if needed, and good chance Pokey returns within a couple of months.

Did not see that with Harris. Thanks for the update @Noeller

Yeah he didn't change much. They fixed their OL and brought Trestman in to coach. Calvillo was suited to that West Coast style that Trestman brought to Canadian game. Montreal had multiple games of giving up double digit sacks in that Jim Popp/end of Don Matthews as head coach era. And then his wife was ill.

AC had THE best quick release that helped save his body from being destroyed by incoming defensive predators. I hated when we played against him. AC to Cahoon, touchdown. And don't get me going on Chip Cox.

Ahh that’s right good call. really, would make sense to train 2nd globals to do it as well. We need to go on a kola diet. Yeah saw that. So many QBs are dinged already.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but it looks like Trevor Harris is already dinged. Missed back to back practices and Mace now confirming concussion concerns as the cause (sorry for the alliteration...)

So picking up on the whole MOS views O, D and ST as equal parts and builds his roster that way. In two games this season, we have 101 plays on offense, 98 on D and 38 on ST. We need to build the roster better.

i dunno....If you dont worry about stuff in-season and address it....there wont be no grey cup, and if we luck out and do get to it....expect more the same cause in Osh's eye's...it was all a success and due to it...it's happened 3 yrs running...and this yr we have a lot the same characyers....older now...and a coach showing the exact same mindset and yes I will say it...fatal flaws I'd not say our receivers are fine either...zero depth behind any starter....and a 5th receiver who really adds zero to our offence....if i'd rank ours against the rest of league...right now we in bottom 3 he did...but not sure ZC will...or has the ability to...or desire...but then again...guess we will see....I wouldnt be surprised by the end of yr due to play...possible injuries that Strev is leading us into playoffs

yes. Like Anthony Calvillo did in MTL when things started going off the rails. He turned it around because he changed the way he played.
