3rdand1.5

Ford,still even with the Injuries we have, I stand by he would not be worth his contract. Lawler in hindsight was a "miss" even at his contract value......

It seemed to improve the last couple games, hopefully it continues to improve

A couple games ago, we had Strev throw into the endzone...too cute...not smart....we should have ran on first ran on second and kicked a FG at worst on 3rd, while eating up clock This past game we do an ultra conservative short yardage play on 2nd and 3 for no real good reason....then we try a what 57-yard field goal.....when all we needed to do was run down the clock and try and pin them deep with a punt....oh by the way with what 40ish seconds left and their back-up QB in...and they would have needed a TD to tie Those are terrible calls, terrible, too safe but yet to aggressive all at the same time......Just play the odds...

I want to shout out, Schmeckle, Vaval, Allen and Ball..... guys who all made plays that were not really expected to.....this is what we need is for some "new" or unexpected names to step up......

I may be in the minority here, but from what I see...once Schmekle and Person were added for rotation on teh D-line, the overall play of the unit improved...optimistic Woods can add even another notch up. Since we re-jigged our LB's I feel that they have been playing well, T Johns has surprised the heck outta me Benching bridges and moving Parker away from safety also seemed to improve the secondary, Parker is hurt, Bonds is done, but I will say although a small sample size Allen and Vaval show great promise, and Lawson jr, from my eye test has been an improvement from Bridges. In saying this, yes we still gave up an explosion play, and had a few slopy tackles, but.....I just have a feeling that this defence once a few guys settle in could become a really good unit Or specials are great...finally On offence though, I am not optimistic about, is it Hogan, is it the O-line, lack of receiver talent...is Brady more hurt then we know.....maybe, but many "questionable" calls...Some real work needs to be done with this unit

Either run....or if Brady is hurt....rest him....this one dimensional offence will not work

Sure a couple borderline penalties ...but Allen is all over plays!

Vaval...Allen...Ball..Schmekle...are balling out

We stop running, we stop driving and running down the clock.... GO BACK TO THE RUN GAME

Did you know in the CFL you CAN run on first down.....huh....maybe you k ow with the best back in the league we could try

That might be the worst penalty call all year...oh boy

That was a hell of a specials play by Ball...maybe he does have some value

How close to being game ready is Woods?

Sorry to sound like Mr. Negative...and usually I do try and be positive...but from what I have seen from our offence this year, I have virtually no faith in them showing up or making a play when needed. I do think the defence has improved and is evolving even with some key injuries, I do believe they can compete with the other teams and keep us in games now. Our specials are doing great.....but.....I just can't see us winning many games with this offence...sorry

IMO we need one more Imp. D tackle/nose...With Person, Willy and Vaughters the front improved, Lawson when healthy is good, Jake or Schmekle can rotate with Lawson, Adams has looked decent, Woods is unknown at this point, but IMO we need to look for one more interior Import...start bringing them in for looks. Then when Woods is healthy, lose one LB and add him. Holm and Nichols are really good, Parker and Bonds are out...Vaval has shown well, Lawson needs more time to judge his play, time to look at Woodsby and Allen, at least one should make the roster and back-up at worst, and we should add one more imp DB to the PR. But safety....Parker experiment failed, Kramdi experiment is on the verge, Kelly maybe...but last game didn't inspire confidence...maybe we someone in house, if not we need to do something... Really IMO that is all we are missing to be a really good defence
