he doesn’t have the zip any more, and he also doesn’t have the wheels to go crazy legs collaros any more. That was always his bread and butter, arm strength to over come aggression/pocket pressure, and ability to get clear of good pressure. He is also seemingly chronically sore/hurt leaving him slow to get up and frankly ornery towards every thing but success.

yep, playing passive or soft makes fast guys play slow. The D is making guys think too much and react too little. You want guys to think pre snap and react post snap. Every thing we do and are bad at makes us play like we are running in quick sand. It doesn’t help that we have middle of the pack athleticism over all, at best either. They did a good job of picking him up, but we also go empty back field soo much that we make it easy to key in on him when he is playing the pass from the back field. which is only intensified by our limited and poor use of the run. We didn’t have any other pressure release hot routes, or any play calls to counter the disruption either. harris is a guy who folds up like cheap lawn furniture in a hurricane if you keep hitting him too. His late days in edmonton against us where he was un able to do create any thing we consistently hit him 10+ times. This year and last, we might’ve hit him 5 times in all the games.

I don’t think we got a good back field hit on him. We have lawson who is pretty good as a nose. We could use an imp nose, or atleast a bull rushing dt to rotate. Lawson, wj, and Jake are 3 excellent dl, but we don’t have a fourth guy yet. Reese played his worst game, which is to be expected from a rookie. We really need a high motor bull rush guy to complement those 3. Wj and Jake basically disappeared vs saskatchewans physicality on the line. Useage on the dl isn’t great again either. We ran more 30 and a lot of tite front. But we don’t twist or stunt or rush interior gaps with the tite look. We just send the 3 at inside gaps and occasionally send the apex off the edge, but almost never any effect as they more often try to take on the tackle rather than take a pursuit angle to the qb. And we don’t keep inside backers in position to take up side gaps with the tite front either. Teams know to pull/slant/trap/leverage them with wide or out side zone and gash us in the run game. When hall did stuff like this in the past he had the finer details installed you needed to succeed with 3-4 rushers. Now we have most of the talent to create disruption with 4 plus or minus 1, but don’t employ any of the tactics needed to make the strategy work. We just throw our guys out and hope they figure out a way to win.

he has decent hands, too bad he doesn’t really have any thing else going for him. I’m a big believer in the 11 formation and what TEs could do in the cfl with a modern offence. Sadly, daniel’s is one of our worst picks in the mafia era. He hasn’t once shown good physicality even against guys 60-80lbs lighter than him. He’s got no positive athletic traits, no raw talent, and no skills other than decent hands. Schmekel is a limited tool guy, but he’s got tons of heart and hustle. He battles on every snap physically. I’d rather run him at te then daniel’s.

the two worst things to be in football are soft, and passive. And we are both.

don’t even get the pass to the first down line ffs

elsbury does nothing

cobb the vet who plays like a rookie

singer!

sask doing their best to hand us a win

should’ve been a delay of game

two guys in the booth with zero brain cells combined

awe that’s dumb and dirty helmet to helmet

cobb goes for the first instead of out of bounds

zach with an empty back field and doesn’t pick up the pressure

riders kept pushing after the whistle and the inbreds are mad lol

i think that’s regular getting up for ceresna, atleast on par with how he’s played every snap today any way

for real

zach just didn’t pick it up or get rid of it

despite them putting up that td quick fast and in a hurry too

bit of both yeah. more then a bit actually.

terrible game for almost the entire D. Smith and ayers and that’s about it for the good

to be fair that was as close to blind side as you can get. that’s a tough block to get off of

two guys bite on cut back no one plays contain

nichols keeps his feet moving and that’s way short
