We did with him and rourke, and maybe a bit faj or vaj. Kyrie was doing it. It was a fairly deep spy though, not right on the line. Thats true, but JY seems to want to blitz more this year. And to be fair, his DB/lb edge packages are reasonably effective.

I'm hoping that he was rusty and out of rhythm due to the messed-up start to the year. He certainly looked better in pre-season. I mean, with Jackson, yeah, it would just be happening. Overall, I think they are getting to a point where they would have to say you can't do this stuff anymore, Zach. We have to re-fit the system with stuff you can do. But I don't think they would be willing to accept that at this point. Keep in mind, 2023 was really the only hot start to the year for Zach as a blue bomber. These are his first game stats as a bomber. 2021. 18/28 217 2 tds, 292 2 tds, 204 2tds 1int. 243 0/0. 245 1/1. 2023. 354 3tds. 293 2 tds. 191 1int. 177 2tds 1int. 2024. 209 1int. 285 1int. 247. 55 1int. So this year's 179 2 and 2 is kind of on brand for him as a start. We really can't wait a month for him to get going though.

I think some of this is caused by his reduced mobility. He doesn't have that escapability gear anymore. Combine that with being one of the most physically battered QBs of his generation, and you get panic in the backfield. He's not late stages matt nichols, but mentally I don't think he has been able to adjust to the fact he cant frequently out run ends any more.

Roster wise, yeah idk. Think it likely depends on injuries and if wj gets suspended.

Guarantee we will be spying ford and playing more edge contain.

Yes, though it’s also important to note strevy was getting the ball out much quicker.

Considering bc has a good talented dl, I think the pass pro was far better than adequate. You just don’t get games with no hits no pressures on a regular basis. Also, some of his worst throws came with time and a clean pocket. I don’t think a better performance by the ok would’ve changed any thing. He chucked ducks with lots of time and open guys. No one’s throwing the ball down field on the regular when the wr is already 40 yards out. You’d need to be throwing 70yards down field to hit a guy in stride with the ball out of your hand at a target 40 yards down field. 3-4 seconds is what you aim for, but’s that’s ball out at 20 ish yards and including stepping up and getting it out. If you watch the advanced feed from tsn, they show the pocket time on the snaps. Zach had lots of 3-4 second pockets, and wasn’t seeing pressure in less than 2.5.

Yep, pretty interesting story behind the meaning of his surname too. Snafu. It’d be funny if it wasn’t soo damn sad for the league.

Zach is like an old race horse. He can still give er (we hope) but he’s easily spooked. I wonder if that’s why we stopped the jet motion last year. Zach doesn’t like the pocket to move.

I’d argue Zach has more wear on him than those guys. But he’s also had more career Collapses and come backs than all those guys combined. I’m certain he has some throwing arm/hand stuff that isn’t healing. Zach had a great arm at his best. He was really reliant on his zip and ability to drop a rainbow over the defence to compensate for his struggles to run the short passing game. He hit incredible windows in the past with great frequency. He wasn’t bishop flicking his wrists from his knees and sending it 70 yards down field, but his arm was damn good. Khari was similar, but he lost the touch on the ball, and he could always hit the short game. Either zach is rusty and still adjusting, or he’s gonna need to completely revamp his game to be more of a cerebral field general.

I think long term vanterpool would be better at rt and Randolph at LT. But yeah, he’s been a project to convert to tackle. Randolph played basically tackle as the 6th ol in college a lot. Vanterpool was a career guard. Didn’t give up a sack for like a year and a half, didn’t take a penalty in his last year. Pretty wild. Vanterpool is still naturally a guard but has the mobility to end up a rt. And he’s very good in pass protection at guard.

Sounds like a Batman villain the way he says it

Would’ve been great to have him as a coach in grooming but way she goes.

Yup. Any one saying the ol was bad has lost it. Bcs guys won the battle a couple times, they have a good dl that happens. Edm will do similar next week. But over all they played well. Kola was kola, but the rest played well. Randolph is a nice upgrade over Lofton and only gonna get better. Wallace is gonna be an animal with a good chunk of starts. Taking vanterpool off sucks, but imp guards are rare and a luxury. We are wasting way to many roster spots to afford that right now. Having an imp ol on the pr who can step in and be maybe your best ol is extremely fortunate. Keep grooming him as a T and we will have it made in the shade.

Guy has an excuse for every thing. No no it’s not my fault I swung and hit a ref a bomber player bumped by arm and it followed through into him! Lawson crossed and beat two lions ol on that play. He did what good noses can do.

Exactly the type of move the stamps made a dynasty by NOT making lol. Wonder if he gets off the pr

Yep, Lawson went full on stove on that play. Guy is such a beast. https://3downnation.com/2025/06/22/b-c-lions-ol-kory-woodruff-claims-bombers-willie-jefferson-triggered-ejection-for-abuse-of-official-with-dirty-play/ The fact he won’t give details or take responsibility with out passing blame makes me think they won’t find any thing on further examination of the film. Is it messed up though that I kind of hope Wj gets suspended a game? Then we have to adjust the roster and give person a shot, and probably dress a real back up de. Then wj can come back angry and motivated. Maybe get back to pressures and sacks.

Pressure up the middle is better than off the edge, if you can push the C back into the QBs lap and mess with the throwing lanes you can throw off the passing game faster and with out extra guys. The way you create pressure up the middle is with a good nose tackle and 3tech. Not with extra bodies. Also twists help if your dts are athletic enough to go around the C and still get in on the play. Lawson plus adams gives us that. We could use a guy inside who can rotate and provide any thing. Also doesn’t help that our ends haven’t gotten any thing going.

The air up high in that stadium is really wonky. It’s also humid which messes with ball flight. But yeah, he tossed a bunch of bad tosses short to.

A couple adjustments and we’d have a better D than 21. Jake 10 reps or less per game. Kyrie out to pasture, Jjones on with tony sliding to wil and sitting on passing downs situationally, get an end on to rotate, maybe work vaval in on the D some.

He’s 2nd in the league in pr yards, despite all the other guys having a game played on him, and first in avg. he’s only got 3 ko returns but his 29 yards per is in the top group of guys. Most of whom have broken one and have 3-4 times more returns this year. Hes been exceptional so far, when he does break one he’s probably going to go on a run and have silly averages. Im interested to see what Logan can do as an offensive rotational guy, but if he isn’t healthy soon he might not have a path to make the AR. On top of that, vaval looked really good at times at db in pre season.

I hate the schedule but love we won the series against bc already.

Man gotta love Cooley

1 Parker. Stepped it up big time. Haven’t seen a game like that at S since prime ba. 2 griffin great game at all 3 levels 3 bonds hh tui td of course block of the game on a vaval return Corcoran made two great blocks on 2 guys to open a lane crunch of the game is bridges ruining up on the screen

Holm had the jump just missed it
