Im not just sure how much impact he had on Streveler's week 1 performance if he wasn't really around. Hogan would deserve the credit in that case.

he did. Streveler played well in game 1. i have to wonder if Coach Jackson is having any impact on 8 and 17 this early. so far the team is 3 wins ahead of last year at this time.
I thought coach Jackson missed training camp? What was that situation about?

Yeah, I think the only area the Elk stand to challenge us is Dl vs our OL. Even their OL is banged up and got a few changes. But that dl, they got some guys who get after it.
Yeah, If he was in a flex tight grouping or even further out it's a nightmare for defences. Do you put a lil guy on him? He might pancake then still come in and seal another guy. do you take a good dl who can 1v1 away from the play? I'd love to see some Eli motion. Really screw with defences.
Ive been really surprised at how bad the Elk's D has looked considering the talent . Hoping they don't gel this week. But I think Tre will be good for atleast one pick six vs our D.

Im not sure that Cooley was added last week over depth fears but more that they wanted to take a look at him. It might always have been part of the plan to start the American guard in week one because they weren’t confident at that point if Nuefeld was going to be able to play the whole game. After he did they were more comfortable going with Nuefeld and Wallace as the guards the following week and got Cooley on the roster. I hope he has a larger role this week. Other than the fumble and recovery he looked pretty good and out performed Peterson.

Brady Oliveira will miss a second straight game. We should know more on Nic Demski’s status when the #Bombers release their game roster tomorrow morning. #BonfireFtb- wbbfan, Noeller and Bigblue204

We've given up 34 points or 17 per game, so I don't think they make changes on D but it feels like they would be better if they took off one of Wilson or Ayers and gave J.Jones or Pearson a shot. Actually Vaughters hasn't done much either.
Even less points if you subtract garbage time points.

In the current depth chart how do we know which backups are Americans vs designated imports?
-
-
Masoli without maneuverability plays into the strength of our defence. Lots of dbs in coverage he will be forced to release the ball quickly or get taken down and it can take guys time to get open against this scheme.
Does Ayers actually get snaps at defensive end or is this just depth chart spin?
-
I think with the makeup of this depth chart they are free to use Cooley as much as they want in the offence. Would love to get him and Peterson on the field at the same time.

It's been reported that Rourke trembles and gets the shakes when he sees that he has to go against Willie .....It's also been reported that he said Willie J was his worst nightmare ...poor guy might need treatment

If you listened to O’Shea presser today he said the playbook is the same for all QBs but at the same time the plays that will be called are basically the plays that QB excels at most. Zach and Strev excel at different things. Zach more of a deep shot guy for sure.
The playbook is the same sure but the way the defense prepares is going to be different and how they react is gonna be different. The threat of Streveler pulling the ball and running with it on a RPO is going to keep teams from keying on our runningback to a degree and certainly Zack's ability to throw a deep ball on a dime has gotta play a role as well.

I think Lofton is going to sit when he comes back, Randolph did an excellent job at RT, he has excellent mobility for a big man.
He can be depth for now and potentially be in the picture next season if Bryant retires.

I was of the mind of 'what the hell are we doing trading for this kid Peterson' at the time....After seeing his performance last night I can see what we liked about him....great performance...I thought once Brady went down that our running game would come to a grinding halt....not so...the little guy put in quite a performance......Thought our defensive line played great ....our hogs looked really good as well.....Room for improvement for sure BUT I don't think anyone left the stadium disappointed
That american left guard we had looked great and he showed some controlled natyness as well when he rolled over Betts without taking a penalty.
-
Trying to figure out why the defensive line looked so much better. Is it scheme or is it Vaughters being there and Adams being another 2nd year player kicking it up a notch.
-
I don't want to base anything on one game especially one where Streveler did underthow a ball to wheatfall which should have been a touchdown. But Streveler has given my some hope that he can be perhaps a stopgap starter for us when Zach retires. Or perhaps veteran insurance if Elgersma is a bust.

In a weird way is the knee injury the best thing that could have happened for Streveler. He is no where near back to 100% but forced him to keep his head up find receivers.
Imagine if he develops his passing game this year and by next season he's got most of his speed back and can learn just to use it to get out of trouble and in crucial situations.

Despite all the offseason losses of star players Ive had the feeling for a long time now that we were going to be a better team this year from last. We have a lot more depth than we had last season. Last year there were very few second year guys who who really in a position to help the team if memory serves me correctly and as a result we had to go with a lot of first year players. 2nd year players are the best value you can get as a CFL team. Rookie salary in an experienced player. We have made up some of our biggest losses by changing the ratio and the early returns are stellar. I'm no longer worried about losing Ford's turnover creating ability at short side corner. Bridges already has two picks and he's doing this on a rookie contract. I also think that left guard we have is a massive upgrade of Dobsen and again on a rookie salary. Wheatfall is on a rookie deal too and will quite likely produce more yards than Lawler did last year or the year before.
Vaval to me looks like legit returner I wonder what if any role Logan will have when healthy. They can just keep him on the injury list reducing our cap hit and wait until we need him.
Streveler looks like a legit backup qb. I just love how the new OC let him run the offence and he played against his old OC who never let him do that and beat him throwing touchdown passes while the highest paid primadona qb in the league couldn't get it done vs us under Buck's tutelage. Clearly Streveler is not himself yet with that brace and that made it a necessity for him to run the offence. I really wonder if the plan for him this season is to focus on knowing how to run the offence and to be backup. Just speculation but I think maybe they won't want him as the short yardage qb pushing off on that leg.
The real question I have is if BO is out next week where does that leave our ratio? Peterson made a strong case to leave the ratio as it is. I hope we find a way to get Cooley on the roster and use a combination of the tight end set to get him on the field replacing Sterns with a canadian tight end and also use the designated american rule to give him a bunch of additional snaps and use a two back system. Thoughts?

Has anyone gotten over Depth Chart shock and excited for the game? I'm experiencing depth chart fatigue. Not happy about it but it is what is it.

The talent around Rourke was much better back in those days. Im Expecting a season from him somewhere between 2022 and 2024.
