Execute and excel at the stuff you do best...work off that and augment when you can...simplify and perfect...then advance...this goes especially for our defence right now Also...our receiving group really is crap for almost anything we wanna run...we should seriously consider a 2 back modified option offence with what we currently have

Rod Smith's commentary is getting quite lame

The 2019 game plan/play call was also brutal. Zach would’ve never been a mop in that system.

I think that record was later in his career maybe 2008 , 2009

I agree...

If thats the case then lets see what Stevelers got. I think he will surprise a few posters.

Actually Bryant could be back next game for all we know so going up tempo with our older veterans makes no sense. Even with just two guys sucking wind, that leaves them tired & missing blocks in the 3rd & 4th quarter.

Strev was also hurt Promote Patterson...he came from closer to...and played under the more old school way...is a no b.s guy and would garner player respect ...that's how id go for the yr...also would relate a lot better to the u.s players and see/utilize guys accordingly in regards to skill..usefulness and deserved play

Yeah and Rourke was on pace to break records a couple summers ago. Long season, paces like that seldom hold up, especially when the weather turns to ****.

If you went down to a 2nd tier qb salary, you could add one of the top 5ish none QBs in the league. Or you could in that case add 2 of the best none linemen, or 3-4 db/lbers at a top of the second tier kind of level edit misread

Age is a *****. Collaros has been **** since 2023 with the odd exception. Thank God he got an extension before thr season even started

Just get me my TD KLaw so that I live another week. TSN is playing up the fact Lawler is on track right now to take out Milt's single season TD record set in 2002.

I expect a high scoring game.

My guess is that ZC may be out for awhile. Just a hunch but he may be dealing with a recurring injury from August 2023, after which his efficiency as a QB began to decline. Right now, six games or 1/3 into 2025 season, ZC has the worst QB efficiency rating among all the 9 regular starting QBs. Collaros also has the highest INT percentage with 8 INTs vs 7 TDs. Colloros's QB efficiency rating isn't just the worst among starters, at 89.1 it is significantly worse than the others. You could argue Zach has the weakest receiver unit in the league which would contribute to this inefficiency. But looking back at 2024 with a better crop of receivers, Collaros threw 19 INT vs 21 TDs - this includes 4 INTS in the GREY CUP and 4 TDs in West Final - which gave Zach the worst INT percentage last year among QBs who started 10 games or more. That is a total of 28 INT versus 28 TDs in the past 25 games in which Collaros has appeared. Yes you can lay some of that on the receivers. But still. This is not to take away from Zach's substantial contribution since he arrived here in 2019 - respect! But the decline in Collaros's performance since around August 11 2023 neck injury vs Elks (when Dru Brown came off the bench to win the game) is clear as day.

Bryant is out right now and we have Vanterpol 26, Randolph 26 and Wallace 25 to mix with the 2 30 plus year olds. Getting off the ball quick and fast pacing will tire a Dline always chasing and not able to switch out a lot quicker especially late in the game

the question becomes then who do you replace Collaros with? and what will it cost. We are paying about 100k premium on a compared to other qbs. The aprox difference of having lawler vs shoen

Not too mention Bryan and Jefferson. Could be a lot of changes in the offseason. But I doubt that they will move on from Zach.

I thought Person looked pretty good he made the mistake of getting his hand in the mask but basically had 2 sacks in limited time. Vaval looked like an instant upgrade over Bridges. Who returns kicks next week assuming Vaval remains at corner? Mario Alford is available. Would like to see is go after Dakota Shepley who is almost certain to get cut by Dallas.

Collaros has hit his ceiling and is on the way down. Streveler has yet to show us how good he can be post-rehab. He may or may not be the future, but we gotta find out.

Our OL are mostly guys in their 30's. Neufeld 36, Bryant 40. Kolo 32. How long do you think they'd last?

I think Schoens already cooked. That knee injury was serious & he reinjured it. That's a setback. I have never seen a receiver get so beat up by his cover guys when he was relatively healthy. He was a human pinietta out there.Schoen will just go back playing the same style & get hurt again missing even more time.

Its more tiring chasing than initiating the play

Are you asking about $wise? Collaros is at 600k and Schoen about 175k, so 775k or so. So hypothetically, it would give you a lot of $ to work with.

If it was so easy, why hasn't he fixed things earlier? Not only are we playing like it's 2014, our Head Coach is reverting back to his old ways of 2014.
