What’s odd is we went from ride or die with him as starter to gone soo fast. Never should’ve made the team out of camp. But atleast hes gone now. think he was the last db, though we had a bunch before him at db. Did Johnson spent the year on the pr after being benched last year? Maybe he wasn’t willing to sit on the pr, perhaps he knew Jy wouldn’t put him back on? -

Nichols also had medlock kicking 6fgs a game, an all time defence and ol, and still got boed off the field, then his replacement lead to two back to back QBs. Horrible red zone percentages, league leading 2 and outs in O etc. Not really an aiming point. zachs had 1 good half this year in 5 starts. I mean you could count zachs good half’s of football on one hand going back to late 2023. I wonder how many picks Zach has this year in fg range and how many went for pick 6s. Gotta be averaging taking more than 1 score off the board a game with just picks. Streveler isn’t the same guy he was. That’s true. At the same time, we don’t need the guy he was back. We need him to do what he’s doing, but do it better. He has been better than zach this year. 95 pass attempts as compared to 124. 2 starts to 5. Good half to good half. The difference is when strevy is not on, we punt a lot. When zach is not on, he’s running us off the field and out of games. We need strevy to get the ball out quicker, speed up the offence and decision making process. Chris has showed he can accurately hit passes all over with in the flow of the offence. Zach can hit moon shots out of the blue, but we don’t need strevy to do that. And we can’t get zach to run tempo or ball control passing game plans, and we can’t win when he isn’t clicking on deep balls. And while he can hit them at random, he can’t hit them at will any more. it’s not a great position to make a decision either way. But with one guy you have the ability to limit damage, and improve. You don’t have that with zach. And we should be turning over every stone looking for a vet to bring in. Each week should be a battle for the starting spot. And the hook can be liberal for either guy. But none of that will happen. We will run with zach till he can barely stand and hold the ball. Little on throw. -
yuuuup. Maybe our system is just too complicated for him. You know, like situationally. We might be on the opponent's side of the field, late in the 4th, with the best back in the league and the ability to kill time and kick a fg to go up by 2 scores. But for us, that's when you go deep. Not as intuitive as most offensive systems. Idk what to expect if he does play, but it would just be hillarious if he had the best game of the year for a bomber wr.

I cant imagine how you could grade much worse tbh. He had some brutal snaps, the usual durp in run pro and full time pylon in pass pro. interesting they had Rando top rated, and lofton in the top 9. The list was interesting, but hit home why I don't put stock into their rankings. -
Normally, this week I bet we see them kick away from Vaval the whole game though. So he'd have a decent chance to field some balls.
-
Too well lol
-
Idk if we will go with 2 imp dts and Jake. I think schmekel/kornelson will find their way on for sure. I’d be pretty happy if woods gets on though.
-
At this point, unless some thing drastic happens I expect ssk to hand us our asses. Unfortunately, we are no longer the standard bearers for success either in the league or west.

I watched the interview and they did talk in general about the multiple situations and he talked about making the same call with zach who also threw a td. He really just chalks it up to poor execution and accuracy on the throws. Parts of it are better than it sounds, but parts are worse. I don’t think he gets that the co and hc are responsible for creating execution through preparation and practice. I think his defence of strevys play is not great either. Clearly Chris is struggling to act quickly. Be it getting the ball out of his hands, rpo, run option or when pressured. He really harps on being right in his play call. Says he is hard on him self in review and hindsight. Seems really singular minded. Which matches what I’ve seen from his play call so far. If he thinks he’s right even if it isn’t working, he’s gonna keep doing the same thing. Watching JYs interview it’s easy to see the difference and why his D has bounced back and found ways to excel. And why Hogan hasn’t. I was disappointed with hogan but happy we got Jackson. Try to hope for the best and give him the benefit of the doubt. But damn, I’m worried about him as OC. Even with Jackson, he doesn’t seem ready. His complete lack of experience with being an OC at any real level is a lot to over come.
-
Yep. And most did it a bit too the previous week. Mafia attitude towards strevy has shifted hard. Getting to the point that it’s hard to imagine him coming back after his deal is up. If that’s how they deal with it to the media, how are they dealing with him behind closed doors? Agree. Don’t think we’d a done that in years prior either.
-
Soo many times we have chosen to be passive and not played for the win or the kill shot. How we ended up dead set on it in that spot is worrying. It screams of insecurity. trying to steal the win because they don’t think we can secure it with a controlled ball control/clock killing drive.

Brady has been effective, but yeah, better interior play would help. And primarily around the C spot. -

Our offence with either qb struggles to deal with pressure. We don’t set up well for timing deep shots (we need 5+ second pockets) and we don’t have good quick passing plays. We don’t even attack the mid depth of 15-25 well. Outs, crossers, and hooks, with all the targets in the same relative level of depth across the field. over and over again. Defences don’t even get out of their back pedal. They sit and read the qb and rally to the ball, which is constantly short of first down yardage any way. -
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.

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
-
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

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. -

Being pushed isn’t just for a psychological boost. You’re right that Strev doesn’t need that. Bailey was far more of a self motivated competitor, but he still needed rosey to come into the pr and raise the level of play required to keep a spot in the wr core. He went from dropping a massive amount of balls and playing poorly to playing his best ball. He needs to be challenged for his spot, he needs to make better decisions and be faster in his decision making. When zachs out, strev is the default. Even when zach is healthy we need competition where the best player plays. Nearly all players are better through competition. If you look at weight divisions that are the best and are the highest level, it’s because you have many guys pushing the level of play up. Fact is, Strev played his best game in game 1, and has been significantly worse since then. When your calibre of play drops that bad continually, you need competition and to be pushed. We need to address the offence at every single level and position other than rb. Qb, wr, ol, coaching and game plan. It all stinks. If we had one improved, that would help the rest, but none of them are good enough even if the others were optimal. -
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 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.

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.
