3rdand1.5

Much better all around, gave up one sack, got pressure consistently of Fajardo and ran the heck out of the ball today....dam the thorax!
Not super happy with the specials, but it didn't cost us anything.
Agree that Swaray is raw but has big potential. Guy showed he can hit!!

Clements seems to be "figuring it out" IMO he is starting to look good. Hard to know assignments but Darby looked to have corrected his play?
 
D-line as whole unit- Willie though was extra last night
Castillo-instant roster upgrade from game 1
BO-not just over 100 rushing but punishing hard running, I also noticed he used to success the patented AH spin falling forward move!
Shout out to #16 (Kelly?) for some real good special teams work

Voodoo, could you move my post a couple above over there as well. Sorry I think it was post that started the "derailment"

No MOST are....however SOME don't. Yes this is true in the office and was like that pre-covid, and I am sure is like that in most work environments. But in my experience certain individuals have pushed it further and done even less with WFH and hybrid then they did before. Management especially within the Gov't has hands tied at this time with large Unions protecting these individuals. 
Again I am not advocating for or against WFH, I am only speaking of my personal experience, within Gov't management and some of the difficulties with both WFH and hybrid scheduling, that do contribute to delays.
Perhaps this has a factor in Lawler's delays, perhaps not.......

Agadosi and Mc Crae are very differently built receivers, but I like the versatility Mc Crae may be able to bring.  It could be Mc Crae and that versatility are a better fit for what the coaches see against Mtrl?
I also hope Lawson and Jeffcoat can spell in,
Even if Jeffcoat only gets worked in slowly and only takes a handfull of snaps. The guy can't stay healthy but for a handfull of plays a game he can make a difference. He is like a NHRA drag car motor, you only get a  few passes before they need a rebuild, but damn that pass they do is high level stuff

My 2 cents Halls defence needs pressure and our D-line is not good enough to give what he needs. 
IF we improved the D-line the LB's and DB's would be improved

If it's status quo for the week and we don't get any help off the injury list it will be interesting to see what kind of success Fajardo has against us?
If we don't manage lot's of hurries and pressures against Fajardo with that o-line then I don't think anyone can dispute that the D-line is not good enough.

Everyone mostly agrees that we need a better D-line and many believe we actually have most pieces to do it in house. A solid argument can be made for that. 
Some have mentioned roster management which ties very much into the above issue, and unfortunately the d-linemen we drafted have not yet been anywhere near the level we need them to be. Injuries are are factor but as I think Booch mentioned why did we not bring in more competition?
Hindsight is 20/20 and we could play the what-ifs  game all day, the reality IMO is that we are not good enough TODAY along the D-line.
 
So the contending for top spot in the West question is what do we do about now?

23 other guys have to play with Brady's intensity and physicality today and we will run away with this game! 
 
Is he ever playing a physical hard nosed game today!!!

Honestly BC is playing with more intensity
 
Wpg may be the better team but BC is playing like they want it more
 
We need to calm down and figure out how to keep Colaris clean or we are in trouble.
 
Let's not kid ourselves they are kicking the tar outta us physically so far

Bc has talent, they have a pretty good roster. A roster with enough talent to win games. If VAJ is on his game and can keep his emotions in check, he will make plays on us. 
The Bc defence is riding high after a 0 last week. Sask. made a game of it until we pulled away at the end, I would expect BC to make a game of it today.
However, I still see us as the better team and history says we are pretty darn good at home lately.....
GO BLUE

They played pretty good, they made it a game for a bit. We were just a bit better and pulled away when all the chips were down. Sask. looked better than they did in the past. In that sense they should be happy.
Harriss is a good QB, but ours is better and although he put up some great stats IMO Zach was still the better QB that game
Looking across the league 
VA has looked pretty good, but history tells us he is a very emotional and that get's the best of him and he suffers through wild ups and downs, very interested to see how he looks this Thursday
Corny has looked unfortunately bad this year
Mair got some stats late last week but has looked mostly bad to be honest
Arbuckle has been a disaster
Bo has played the worst that he ever has in his entire professional career the last two weeks and is now injured again to boot
Fajardo looked competent in Mtrl. but I can't see him lasting getting hit so much...can it all be o-line or does the responsibility start to fall on him....
Kelly started hot and used his legs well, but we have seen this playbook before once teams get film/tendencies he probably won't get away with that
So really outside of Zach only three guys have looked good VAJ, Kelly and Harriss and out of the three one could argue Harriss has looked the best. Other teams need some positives too it can't just be all Bombers or it would get boring...
