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

This pathetic excuse of a pass rush isn’t going to beat anybody

That’s textbook helmet to helmet

It’s beyond dumb imo. Guys trotting out injured in the 23 GC was dumb. Zach playing with half his finger torn off was even dumber. This time it’s past dumb, this was morally wrong.

There was so much that could have been done to avoid it, but at this point I’m afraid you may be right. The core of the team was alower to all age out at the same time and coaching/management have made too many boneheaded decisions over the past 2+ years. Out of the guys we currently have, who can you rebuild/reload a team around starting in 26? QB- Zach is 37, Strev is pretty much done. We have no idea about Wilson but Inhave my doubts, no idea about Artopeous. No idea if Elgersma will ever come here. RB- Brady is still in his prime. Peterson is a solid backup. We’re pretty good here WR- Demski is playing very well but getting up there in age age, and pretty beat up, probably doesn’t have a lot of years left. Pokey is a keeper, Clercius is a keeper. Wheatfall is solid but not special. Everyone else is borderline useless. OL- Wallace with some seasoning will be a keeper, Bryant is old. Vanterpool and Randolph are keepers. DL- Willie is on the downside of his career, though he’s one of my all Time favourite Bombers and a surefire HOFer. Vaughters is washed. Woods needs to start a number of games to see if he’s worth keeping. Adams is decent but not great. Thomas and Kornelson, we all know. LB- Woodbey is promising but we’ve only seen 1 game. The rookie Canadians are promising but completely untested. Tony Jones is mediocre, Wilson is old. J. Jones never sees the field but should be a keeper based off how he played for TO. DB- Griffin is a keeper. Allen is a maybe. Vaval is a maybe. Holm is pushing 30. Nichols is aging rapidly. Others are mediocre at best. ST- Sergio is very good, Sheehan has improved. Leaves us with maybe 7-8 skill players worth moving forward with on both sides combined. 2-3 OL. 1-2 DL. I’m pretty sure we need a full scale rebuild at this point, the cupboards are pretty bare.

The way they handled the situation with Schoen is a black mark on the whole franchise. Rushing him back for the start of this season, then rushing him back after a month with a known (second-time) torn ACL is inexcusable. Someone needs to legit lose their job for that.

That sucks. He was just starting to come into his own. I hope this means by unfortunate means their hand is forced into de-nationalizing the DT spot.

Good. I’d guess Schoen gets more time to recover, Wilson takes the boundary wideout spot and Wheatfall moves into the slot?

In a vacuum I don’t mind them taking a shot on 2nd and short. I was more irritated at the context of them pissing around with Strev at the 5 yard line, then proceeding to not use the SY set when it would have been prudent.

I went and listened to it and I thought he was a bit of a ****. DT could have criticized a number of coaching decisions in that game but decided to softball a discussion about a feel-good story involving one of MOS’s favourite guys and Osh got all bent out of shape because of the word “injuries”

I guess injuries are handled internally

What did he say? I didn’t listen to it tonight.

Def Co for sure needs to figure it out. This isn’t the 2006 Argos with a bunch of ballhawks making up for lack of pressure. Bring on Woods and try to use 4 man pressure already. It’s just stupid at this point. Trying to run a 30 front with 2 ends past their prime and either untalented (JT) or out of position guys at nose. It’s ridiculous. Part of this is on Walters (and Osh) too though for not bringing in a true NT if that’s the scheme they were going to run. They’ve had nothing but undersized 3-tech guys for years now, or trying to play rush ends in the middle.

The called a draw… On 2nd and 24..
