With Weitz at wil for Wilson

So if Nichols can’t play it’s Houston coming on and Lawson Jr at half?

They cut a guy from their PR, probably just a replacement

At some point the quality of the rest of his life has to come first. I’ve got a close family member dealing with severe post-concussion issues from an accident that happened a decade ago, he’ll probably never fully recover. People don’t realize the toll it takes and for how long after the fact.

MOS didn’t sound too pleased with Milt on the coaches show yesterday. “I think he started off by saying that because of who it is, saying it, Milt Stegall, a lot of people listen. And I think because of that powerful voice, he should probably choose his words a lot more carefully than he did. You know, he's not qualified to make those decisions or he certainly doesn't know what's going on. And I'm not qualified either, right? But I have a little more insight into the situation, obviously. But you know, there's, when you make those pretty brash statements, you're, you know, and you make them quickly in the spur of the moment, you're not considering his family or his people that care about him when you make those statements, right? And I think a little more care and concern should have went in before, you know, announcing to the world and creating clickbait and getting your likes up.”

Kolo is on the ground for so much of the game it looks like he’s playing Nightcrawlers instead of football. I’d like to see how the guards do with a half decent C. Eli, Vibert, some American, whoever. That’s the swap that needs to be made before anything else. At least get someone there who isn’t physically dominated constantly, I can deal with the odd communication mishap or rookie mistake.

Desarlais on the OL. Stove at DT.

Agree we have very few standout stars. We’ve got a lot of good complementary pieces but lack big time playmakers. In some cases it’s talent and some cases it’s scheme. That’s the thing about the team this year, there’s not just one glaring need holding them back. There’s one problem or another at every position group besides RB. Coaching problems, talent not up to snuff, front office issues, injuries, poor roster use. Every factor that can make the wheels fall off is hitting us at once.

Depends what team. Maybe Randolph or Vanterpool on O for a team only missing one piece on their line. I’m sure BC for one would take Person, Wilson, Woodbey or J. Jones on D. Griffin would probably fit in somewhere too. Cam Lawson would probably do really well on a team with a 4 man front. I’m sure a couple our ST or developmental linebackers could improve coverage on another team (or maybe even take reps!), About the one thing we have this year that’s top-tier is the kick/punt coverage.

Maybe 2024? I’m pretty sure this preseason he might have thrown one pass over 10 yards. I mean, I’d hope you’re right, obviously I want any Bomber QB to do well.

I don’t want to write him off fully. I just don’t think he’s fully recovered from last years injury. Something just seems off. Agree OL is the biggest problem.

From the same report “Wilson’s deep accuracy is a concern. Meanwhile, in the short and intermediate ranges, he sometimes misses high due to varying release points. Among other things, Wilson doesn’t quite have the upper-echelon arm talent to fit passes into tight windows downfield.”

When I‘m frustrated during games I want to see what our backup QBs can do (like most fans) I‘m not sure Wilson is the answer though honestly. He can run for sure. If you watch his highlights from college, he predominantly threw from the pocket, and they mostly ran a wide spread with a lot of dump offs/screens. I’m not sure he has the arm strength for the CFL intermediate-deep game. If he can throw on the run (which I don’t know one way or another) he could have success running something like we saw in the Montreal game earlier this year. I also don’t think we have the OL to run a pure drop back offence for any QB. At the very least, he needs to take over the SY set permanently, healthy Zach or not.

You figure Houston would come on for Vaval? He played that side when he was here before but I’m not sold on Lawson Jr either. Vaval seems like more of a liability right now, and I feel like Hamilton would exploit him, or he’d take a bad PI. Agree Griffin at sam would be ideal, with Kramdi at S and Allen/Woodbey rotating on for certain looks.

Point taken about Demski, he’s gone above and beyond this year. Definitely not weak. I still don’t think he compares to some of the other WR1’s in the league however. We don’t have a Coxie/Lawler/Hatcher type that teams have to gameplan around. Zach I’d argue has been hit or miss. One great game (Edmonton) , 2 very good ones (Labour Day, Montreal) rest has been mid (@BC game, 1st half of the second game @Cgy) to poor (1st game @cgy, Banjo Bowl, second half of the 2nd game @cgy, TO game before coming out, Cgy home game before the injury). For an MOP salary, he’s being outperformed by at least 4 other QB’s making less than him (Harris, Adams, BLM, Arbuckle) I understand there are more factors at play and agree the supporting cast is not good enough. For the defence, I think my point remains solid. There’s a lack of playmaking there.

Have you seen our DB’s? We’re ****** against Hamilton and any other team who can hit deep shots.

I’ve been as big of a Strev supporter as there is on these forums, but if whatever’s still going on with his knee/lower body doesn’t recover I’d say the odds are pretty high. Since coming back from the last injury he can’t seem to throw with any velocity, just using his shoulder to throw and doesn’t look like he can put anything into it when he plants.

O- Kolo and the 2 boundary side receivers. (HM Neufeld- love the guy but he’s just too far past it) Kolo plays half the game on his ass, and completely lost in the second level most of the time. Granted our concepts might be kind of shitty but the boundary side guys just can’t figure out how to get open. Wheatfall is a poor man’s Chris Brazzell. One good game then disappears for 3. Mitchell more of the same, except the invisibility starts after one good play. Corcoran’s worse when he starts. None of them can figure out how to come back to the football on a scramble. D- Thomas, Vaval, Vaughters Thomas we’ve discussed forever. Vaughters makes maybe 1 play a game. Not consistent enough at all rushing the passer and terrible in the run game. Vaval is either getting burned or committing PI. He’s shown some really good flashes as a returner though. Great athlete, just not ready for prime time. I think just as much of an issue is who our 3 best are on O and D. Besides Brady, our “top” guys are extremely weak compared to the rest of the league.

Turds 1. Everyone. You get swept by the Riders, everyone’s a turd. Honourable mentions- Demski I guess. Dishonourable mentions- Both lines, MOS, Walters.

Pathetic. It’s time to clean house this offseason. They’ve ****** it all up.

Vaval needs to start turning his head or he’s going to take one of those every single game

Cool, now we get to watch Sask drive 109 yards. Sergio needs to make those kicks.

I’m not sure how good or bad Terry Wilson would be but at this point does anyone think he’d be less effective than Strev?

Why is Vaval dancing around after breaking up a pass on first down when the other team just drove down the field?

We’re playing DL like it’s schoolyard where you have to count 5 steamboats before you rush the Quarterback
