If Mitchell plays well someone should be answering some very uncomfortable questions.

So Dexter Lawson goes on ahead of Cam Allen … weird i know it’s not a direct connection but I really wish they’d find a way to get Cam Allen onto the roster at safety. be nice if they maybe put Vaval at corner and used Allen in some packages as a rotational piece

Mitchell with the first team? Is the world ending?

I hate all the repeat games in the first part or the year. If vaj is out, I like our chances. If he plays it’ll be a tough game for us to win.

Bryant, Benson and Woods all practiced.

Can confirm rapture has happened because Mitchell is playing slot. Parker on crutches, no Kramdi, schoen running sprints off to the side on his own. all this from and thanks to DT.

Peyton Logan dressed too

How the **** is it hard to get Logan on? We have Cooley on. We have multiple American guys already who only play special teams. Just have to let Canadian depth guys getting healthy take those roles. If Ayres isn't good enough to take a turn on D, pull him off. Choose three American LB's. Don't need 4. We could easily start 3 American OL, have Mitchell and Logan on. Drop one of Wilson/Jones, and drop Ayres, Cooley obviously comes off. With the Canadians we have on D, those guys to cover kicks are a total luxury. We play majority of snaps with 1 of those 4 LB's on the field, about 1/3 of snaps with 2 of them on. We don't need 4. I'm probably one of the few people on this planet that would even think of special teams and this roster so far this season has been complete overkill. We basically don't have an offense because we're holding spots for guys to chase kicks. We can't block, we can't catch the ball.

I’m hoping Woods is able to come on. Hoping we go down to 7 Canadians. Dare to dream.

It probably means all other viable receivers have raptured and we can expect a bunch of USports signing to play alongside him this week

accurate. Jackson had his offence running well with mbt, but couldn’t win or compete to save his life with him. RD wins with all his QBs. Guys a great coach I give it up to him. Looks like Mitchell is with the first team to start today, and zach back at practice

I disagree. CS is drive and intensity personified. He knows the coach's preference for ZC and is aware the only way he gets to continue playing is to perform. I think it plays a part in some of the (poor) decisions he's made. You can wonder about his skills/mechanics and even his judgement but he is not a guy that needs to be "pushed".

The 'Dinwiddie gets the most out of his QBs' effect. Even MBT was a much better QB in TO, than he's been anywhere else.

I hope so, but I don’t think he will. I think his talent is top tier, but his polish needs a lot of work and time. Not a great investment for them unless they really love his intangibles and coaching/locker room fit. That’s the best case for us imo. Have him in camp next year with a year of nfl coaching. Other wise I’d alternate him n chase on the ir to keep both around.

I think it's pretty clear they need to flip a couple American spots to O. We have guys like Shay and Smith to cover LB if we really needed. Kelly can play. Hallett is passable. The kind of D we play I'd much rather have 1 American dressed at WIL/MLB than 4. Having guys like Jones, Wilson and Ayres on to combined play under half the D snaps is mega waste when we have a phase of the team playing insanely short handed on O.

I wish someone had asked him a follow up question. What’s the difference between going up 9 or 13 there? That was an inexcusable call. There was 2:58 left … run the ball twice, kill a minute at minimum … make it a two possession game with 2 minutes and change left. Even if you give them a 13 point hole instead of 9 … it was first down, you’re giving them an entire extra minute to work with. God awful.

Vaughters/Willie/Person, Adams/Lawson/Woods would be the best DL rotation we’ve had in years

Once Stan's back don't wanna see us go 3 imports on the oline as it will just take away from the defence where we starting to get the right guys on now. If we want to try and figure out the best lineup we need to flip flop Kolo and Eli for a game or 2 and see if that helps Cause if woods is ready...and based on J.Jones on roster you would think the no brainer move would be to swap Ayers with Woods as we barely use Ayers now as it is...and with both Kelly and Jones on Ayers won't be really missed on teams even tho he good...plus Woods has played on teams

It will be a story passed down from generation to generation

The box is full because teams are challenging Streveler to be accurate. So far he’s played one good half where he burned BC for doing that.

Bombers against a backup almost scares me more. I think I have Rocky Butler syndrome.

FWIW, Elgersma doesn't seem to be having a great camp in GB. https://dairylandexpress.com/new-packers-qb-saying-goodbye-fans-after-preseason-01k1rhzeas0s

Our OC and the sad state of affairs with our receivers are hindering both QB's and also BO There is no respect given to our current group and save for Demski teams can play soft coverage and blanket the field and make plays on our other guys who basically can't do much after catch...BO has more bodies to navigate and with no legit threats to pull guys away...well we see the results. People were saying Strev wasn't pulling trigger...well thank God as it would have ended in forced picks...ZC would have forced them and we'd be all squaking And hes not as limited running as many think...hes got nowhere to run...and we aren't moving him around to take advantage of a run outside...the times we do roll or sprint out hes been successful but we do it 2 times a game it seems...build your offence around stuff like that...bring wheatfall across the middle...which we never do...will multi layered patterns with speed...and then you'd see his run threat become just that...the threat again We need guys who can go get it...we try to use Demski as that and he can at times be successful but shouldn't be that guy...we Corcoran...Sterns..Case...ain't guys to do that...variations and confusion is what we need...we are so simple to defend.. as a rapper I know says ..."you try to cover...I fake a flag and run a post to toast" We need a pro offence...our stupid decision again to show zero urgency on the O.C position till well into 2025 and then promote an internal guy with a piddly limited resume...just because it seems was as dumb as reupping ZC sight unseen

For the amount he's played, Vaval is 4th on our team in yards passing against. Worst % of targets caught...albeit playing field corner. He's like a flashing beacon for the other teams play caller/QB. I don't think he's a CFL DB. We have better options. I wouldn't even look at him as a DB. I'd rather put Kelly or Hallett out there. Would be nice if he got consistent at catching and holding the ball on returns.

It was for ZC too Id stack the box vs us with that receiving group too...and yeah part of its a challenge to Strev...but Goodluck with that group...none can get open

Haha...truth

Don't drag religion into this.

Yeah interesting move. I don’t know that they look at him as a T project either. Elite run blocker, if he picks things up fast we might go back to 3 imp ol. This move smacks of wanting an imp guard.

he needs help...as in actual receivers who can get open, win battles and actually do something after the catch....and most important....pull guys away fron the box...ZC needs that too even more

Sask has been notorious for the late season collapse the last few seasons. 2022 - 4-1 start, finished 6-12 2023 - 6-5 start, finished 6-12 2024 - 5-1 start, finished 9-8-1 But 7-1 is their best start since they won the Grey Cup in 2013. It really all depends on whether Trevor Harris stays healthy.

DB Jordan Taylor (James Madison) might be getting signed. He was added to the neg list on Saturday and removed on Sunday.

I hate seeing back ups come in mid game. With prep I don’t worry as much. Though we could now call that the argonaut effect.

Psst, in the cfl, the real season starts on LD. We’ve seen red hot starts from them and bc before with poor stretch runs.

I really don’t know about that. He’s not a feel good story down there like he would be up here. It costs them nothing to get rid of him and bring in another body they like better.

Still lots of QB questions about this one. Is Zach ready to play and will he? What about VA for the Stamps. Same receiving corps for the Bombers? Not sure how confident I feel about the Bombers yet.

Agree with you about the re-upping of Collaros. That was more than a head scratcher. As for the OC position, it certainly appears that Hogan is in above his head and his dog paddling isn't working. I'm assuming that Jackson was brought in as a mentor but I'm thinking that he'll assume the O reins soon. His CV is a heck of a lot better than Hogan's.

Pssst, they be 7-1......end of story.

Still think we shoulda resigned him...tho we may have and based on last yr...and seeing this yr..re: Cdn DT he prob laughed and said eff off...I would have

Go 5 Canadians on O, 2 on D. 2 OL, 2 receivers, RB. Have Corcoran/Clercius rotate one spot depending who you want at a wideout spot (get Mitchell involved), and have Peterson, Chris-Ike as cover too. Cobb could come or go depending on who they want on for special teams. If Logan is up, not much need for Cobb IMO. Should not be a problem to go 2 on D based on how they rotate on D. Kramdi plays basically every down, Lawson or Thomas out there almost every down. Then you have Kelly, Hallett, Gauthier and the rookie LB's as cover too. Kelly was playing nickel last week when they went all American DL.

https://3downnation.com/2025/08/04/winnipeg-oc-jason-hogan-defends-play-call-blames-misplaced-throw-for-late-game-interception/ Seems like strevy is the scape goat for hogan and the mafia. Which I mean, he’s part of the problem. But our offense was a problem with a healthy wr core, with zach and with a healthy ol. Kinda wild to me. Play call, qbing and wr core have all been close to equal in terms of being problematic. We’ve gone through a bunch of ol, wrs and 2 QBs. But play call isn’t a problem. We can’t beat man, zone, teams dropping guys or teams running blitz heavy schemes. When that’s the case with two different QBs the oc has to take some blame. Funny thing is, since hogan is new and fresh no one would blame him if he said hey yeah that was me. Thought we had some thing and they countered it well. People expect growing pains with new ocs. He could’ve been a leader and taken pressure off his qb. Instead, he passed all the blame. He’s either gonna learn real quick from that, or have a real limited career as an oc.

Cooley was on for Schoen/Case And I was talking with adding Woods which would be smart and not removing Ayers and someone else We have no Canadian depth that can give us as good or better than average coverage at DB...and we don't know at linebacker cause we won't give Shay or Smith reps I'm all for what you mentioned with Mitchell and Logan...but that's if we allow shay and Smith to grow into the defence...and we havnt yet

be fun to watch if he starts and we start handing it to him...the limps....pained look on face...etc....Doing the Vaj lol

Yeah I dont want him playing DB really....not currently...If he on roster we should start working him on offence....running the jet sweeps and stuff....even doing vertical routes to drag a HB and Safety outta the equation We like to play guys out of position as it is...well there ya go...do it with a guy that it makes sense with Slap Woods on for Ayers....One of Allen and Dawson for Parker....then reassess how thats going....I'd be putting Bailey on for Ball too....cause with Kelly...Hallett...Kramdi..Shay..Smith....do we really need a redundant Ball who will never see the field other than teams...and have yet to see him make any plays? and eventually we gonna see Makonzo back too The one guy I see maybe having a hard time getting on is Logan, if Vaval continues what he did....Plus he is good depth in a pinch on defence

My bad, you are correct

"No that ain't it" Mike O'Shea... probably

I feel like Elgersma ends up on the Green Bay PR.

Yeah...agree...he's a Bomber propagandist as that's what hes paid for...kinda like Fox for Trump lol Hogan...out of his league right now...

Dline with this rotation looks good Lbs looked improved, DB's seemed better O line didn't look good Receivers looked ok....but the reality is the overall talent and types of skill sets is lacking, so even looking good isn't really good enough Strev is a warrior..but I am sure he will admit this was far from his best Brady ran well Specials other than Cooley's confusion looked really good ..Vaval....wow But why....why....why late in the game deep in T.O's end did we throw a deep corner route....to a what 5'9 receiver that was well covered.....why, why, why.....who called that.....run Brady twice....run the clock and at worst kick the 3......Either Strev or Hogan have to wear a BIG set of goat horns 🐐 for that incredibly stupid play call
