It really does. and the change is like to see is zach retiring. But idk how you add a real qb1 this off season. Personally, I don’t see a great fit for both ford and elgersma. Ford could run strev package and short yardage etc, but I wouldn’t want either he or elgersma to be the first guy off the bench taking over a game. He basically is full time this year. Vanterpool is better at guard, but wallace is further along than dobson was last year.

I don’t agree. Peterson basically came in and is today the guy he was when he arrived. And while he’s had some good backs under him, none made significant strides while with him, most had their best play after not being with him any more. Depends a lot on how and where it’s being drilled. Augustine made his strides blocking the place he did covering kicks, on teams.

I thought wow what a deal from Australia then realized that’s Nova Scotia. That’s crazy pricey.

Montreal didn’t care one bit yesterday. They changed out multiple oline and shocking bombers looked good. I mean why people pretending Montreal gave a crap. They didn’t.

well firstly on the QB and where the RB is...or motion he showing....you dont know where ball is...or likely to go...bull rushing straight ahead with does you no real good, especially if the lineman just engages you and lets you do it knowing that it will be ineffective A lot of Jakes problems is he has zero technical skill....hand fighting skills....and cant get off a block to make a play...just last game alone look how many times Woods was engaged and fought off the block to make the play...get in on making it with others, or just disrupting it...Lawson too...Lawson camm bull rush then toss away his lineman and make a play...Jake cant....for yrs now if ever

meh....not really....maybe studying scheme and responsibility but tht's also on the player to have his nose in playbook and know his role on a play, and to recognize when to pick up the extra guy or free guy I am sure BO is in his ear more telling him and showing him that in practice and film work...as AH did for him You get better playing and putting that knowledge to use...not running skelly or being scout RB mimicking the other teams systems

It might be an obvious answer to some but where should the eyes of an interior lineman be as he bull rushes ahead?

what about blocking? is that not coached?

crap weather definitely would benefit us....that being said Scott can be a real work horse and problem on the ground if we see lots of Jake inside...need the active/athletic dline guys for majority if that's the case it becomes a ground and pound contest....Guys like Woods and Lawson who can be engaged and get off blocks to make a play...or divert it to others...not Jake being stood up in place...spun around...or just washed to the side...even his one minimal skill...and minimal at that...his straight ahead push amounts to nothing because he can't do anything off it....and if works past the ball carrier...zero backside pursuit ability

THATS just the kids natural skill....and watching BO....There is no real "caoching" going on in practice on how to be a runningback at this level....its all about reps and visualization and seeing things now

5 pm start time on TSN 3

why? he seems to have coached up Peterson pretty nice.

Very much agree with this....the interception was exactly as you describe it, an inexperienced qb trying to cosey the ball into a spot. Yes Hogan should be fired. And who the he&* dreamed up those 2 useless shovel passes?? Brutal

So as of right now, next Saturday is supposed to be Rain and +9 in Montreal. Not ideal but maybe takes away the Montreal passing attack a little bit...?

I looked at flights to Montreal direct from Sydney. 1400 dollars. Did we lose a war?

I've been meaning to ask you for your thoughts on Wallace... How do you feel he's progressed, if he has at all .. does he have the potential to become a full time Guard at some point?

Wilson is not a toolsy QB at all. Out of 20 passes, 1 was great. That's ******* horrific for any QB at this level. He can't pass on the move and the only reasonable skill he has is running off a rollout/boot. Low velocity passes, poor accuracy, poor decisions. Can't put the ball on a guy. Any pass over about 5 yards is a lob or in the dirt. Guy has zero confidence is his own arm. There's not anything to develop there on a guy who is 28 by next training camp.

The qb situation has to change ....unfortunately I think we've seen the last of Streve.....We have Artopoeus ,Wilson and a big question mark if Zack packs it in.....I'd like to see Elgersma brought in AND it looks like Tre Ford is going to be available ...BIG ??question marks in 26'...After the post season we better have a plan

100 percent

I’d be good with that. Best case if we promote jackson to oc, is we bring in a support coach. Either some one who has been an oc a lot and can support jackson with the minutia. Or maybe younger/cfl rookie type with experience in more diverse us systems who can be developed here but also give hands on insight to specific systems we want jackson to grow into. Like some one with more spread to run zone running schemes outside of tite/izr who can diversify our run game. Or some one with more experience in spread RPO to help our guys execute reads and work options much more effectively. Like calgary did last year.

Yeah regardless of what happens this playoffs...I hope we cut bait with the works save for Costello and Jackson...I'd be happy with Jackson as the OC/QB coach tho.... It's been blatantly obvious OC Clown guys has nbo clue....has an ego a well...why I'm unsure and just isnt cut out to be a pro OC

I’m not sure we have the staff to develop a qb any more :s Actually, I’d wager we have one of the worst offensive staffs for that. Costello is the only must keep. I’d like to keep jackson as well. But if we go in a different direction i wouldn’t be heart broken. (I’d love masoli as a qb coach). Hogan and billy jean can kick their can down the road. And bolduc I’m pretty meh on. Wouldn’t want to keep him and jackson we need heavy change. Imagine how good our secondary would look with that kind of pressure from 3-4 guys regularly? The D would be scary

yup...scheme never changed yesterday...but got sacks...a lot of hurries....QB getting pounded so was far from comfortable...all effect the trajectory of the game....and how many times are drives snuffed out with a huge loss on a sack or the pressure causing errors?...more than you can count....I dont care how good your db's are...and how many you drop back..If the QB has all day and not a care in the world....they will eat your lunch...and sure they may not score a ton....but eat up the clock and keep your offence off the field and unable to score...and has been a big factor in many a game for us

The als are good at pressure off the edge, Rando and vanterpool were pretty close in terms of quality, I think you could make a good case for either guy. I wouldnt be surprised at all if that’s our starting tackle combo next year.

touch will come with live "game" reps....He has the tools...can he develop them, and develop his eyes and what he see's...he deserves to be frought back...but has to take the next step...and a big one next spring...if not...time to cut bait
