  1. I tend to agree re; receivers, we don't have a "Lawler", but I don't think they are as bad as it looks......I think we ran pretty thin a couple weeks ago, and we showed it by signing a couple new guys......but I do believe in the right system they could be good. Drop our starting 5 on the Cal. or Sask, offences and I bet they look way different.......
  2. I believe it is not fair to judge Streveler right now, the guy had MAJOR knee surgery...he can't be 100% wears a huge brace, this affects, mental and physical aspects. Will he ever become a great starter, possibly not but please remember the severity of the knee injury he recently suffered... I have been recently hard on Hogan, and I don't have much faith he is "helping" Streveler at all. Finally, as has been pointed out look at the o-line, how many hits has Zach taken this year compared to his years past in the Peg......look at Brady, Logan, Demski, Strev. when the do run rarely do the get holes, the only time it seems they have a good run is when they do it themselves and break tackles, or "juke" a defender or three.......is it all the players, I am sure a portion is, but again I question how much is also on the OC. In short, I don't care if is Zach, Wilson, Streveler, Elegsmaera, I don't think any of them have a great chance with the talent and schemes they have to work with.........sorry but those crying for a new QB, even if you get your wish, it won't solve the offence.......
  3. We are good enough along the lines....full stop, if we had the lines we had in 2019, we are probably easy in first. We have let guys across both lines go for bigger paydays, and haven't drafted strong at either position for a few years.....thus we are now weak across the lines Fix the lines and we get back to winning....look at The Sask and Cal D-lines as an example, they both take over games and no coincidence they are #1 and #2 in the league....
  4. Well....... Hogan still didn't do enough IMO Zach is probably done .....as well as in career No Dline .....at least my beer was cold.....
  5. Pretty good first half.....now the dreaded 3rd quarter...... Please let's win a 3rd quarter......
  6. I am throwing my hat into the ring, that this d-line looks bad.....I get it we need to meet roster requirements......and I get it special teams' coverage is important....... But....the reality is we are razor thin on Canadians, so much so that it is affecting our overall roster talent....we no longer have the luxury of deep Canadian depth, that can play at a high level.....in saying that something has to be "less than ideal" this week, we apparently chose that to be the d-line....it's bold but I firmly stand on the hill of probably not the best way to manipulate the roster.......Do we really need so many LB's......If one Imp. LB comes off, we can roster a better D-line.....A better D-line vs. less support on special teams....Is Vibert good enough to be a 7th O-lineman, is so Vanterpool comes off Vibert goes on, this balances the ratio requirements so Korn can go off and an import D-line can go on.......I am not privy to what goes on behind closed doors, but to me I see either of those moves as being "better" roster management....... Let's hope Korn, plays with a burning fire to prove cutting him was wrong and elevates his game beyond his ceiling this week......but boy I do question the roster this week......
  7. Yes, but situational awareness.....I like an attempt at times, but almost the end of the half really tight game, in field goal range, not the time...IMO....you run, you keep the clock going. Yes I understand they are good against the run, even if you don't get it you are set up for a FG....IMO I am seeing a pattern of Hogan going against traditional thinking and trying only what I can describe as trying to be too smart.....There are times, but there is also times to just stick with tried and true traditional thinking....at least this is my ,2 cents
  8. Well, it was a hot, but fun atmosphere at the game ...we made it exciting at the end..,..but the lack of a run game....before the half on 2nd down.....all we should have done is run Brady.....that Playcall IMO was the game.....
  9. D line wasn't at its best.......Houston should help in the secondary.... Online did well, Zach played smart.....playcalling was BS until we gave up the goofy crud and went to Brady.....please Hogan learn from today.....wear down a defence and win the clock....you can take over the 2nd half.....
  10. Go to simple offensive plays, run the ball and now we drive.....novel idea try this early THEN try PA.....let's not try PA before we establish a run game......
  11. Two big plays given up......and some goofy offensive at calls.....and a couple bad Injuries.... Zach Hada mostly good half, Brady when gets the ball has looked great..... Let's see can we stop the big play against, can we eliminate the goofy offensive play calls, get Brady more balls and field enough receivers..... Or do we hit our 3rd quarter doink.....
  12. Stupid goofy ......playcalling....over and over.....and over and over it's not working....just goofy calls ....enough already
  13. 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......
  14. It seemed to improve the last couple games, hopefully it continues to improve
  15. 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...
  16. 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......
  17. 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
  18. Either run....or if Brady is hurt....rest him....this one dimensional offence will not work
  19. Sure a couple borderline penalties ...but Allen is all over plays!
  20. Vaval...Allen...Ball..Schmekle...are balling out
  21. We stop running, we stop driving and running down the clock.... GO BACK TO THE RUN GAME
  22. 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
  23. That might be the worst penalty call all year...oh boy
  24. That was a hell of a specials play by Ball...maybe he does have some value
