Edmonton / Toronto is game of the week this week. two midseason renaissances collide. who to pick? 🤷
(edited after picking) wow, 50/50 so far on Elks/Argos. Everyone is over the Bombers and apparently Crumback 2.0 was a fluke.

we aren’t running that much rpo. suitor thinks every pa play is rpo, it isn’t. It’s pretty easy to identify when we do run rpo, because we aren’t very good at it.
watch zachs head/shoulders. if he’s looking at brady, he isn’t reading any one on the D. when we run rpo, you can see him stare down the key play on D. usually you would read the edge and bootleg based on his angle or pursuit.
Thanks dude. This is what comes of listening to too much Suitor.
Thing I noticed in the LDC was that Zach was frequently breaking contain and rolling out into free space after the play action, so it looked like successful RPO to me -- the plays were getting Zach out of the danger zone behind Kolo and into free space where he can do his Zach thing.

people blame the lack of Brady carries on playcalling -- but in an RPO scheme the QB has the option to pull the ball and throw it. Zach gets a vote too on how Brady's used, and given that Brady had beaten the Als pretty much singlehandedly the week before, the Saskatchewan DEs were opting to crash down on the run more often than not.
Zach put up some beaucoup yards and three TDs with his arm -- we almost beat them without our best player being much of a factor. Sucks to lose, but we showed we had a passing attack even with our ragtag receiving corps and leaky pass protection, which is way more that what I expected.

I think someone on Riderfans mentioned that Lauthers wife is imminently expecting. Maybe something to do with that
well, best wishes for a smooth birth and a healthy baby and mom who can be a consolation to Lauther when he shits the bed in the LDC.

Lauther out for personal reasons ... while there's another kicker in camp looking to take his job. Hmm.
No mention of Harris there either.

agree with Booch -- I think Wilson's play breakdown is pretty good, especially for a sideline reporter. He zeroes in on the key elements of the play and points out the error or the achievement. No sugarcoating.
I remember a game this year where Edmonton's OL was getting absolutely perforated ... Wilson broke down the breakdowns crisply and did not hesitate to call out the guy making the mistake -- one of them was an OL caught flatfooted by a stunt / blitz who gave up a lane right into Fajardo's lap.
As an on-camera personality I think Wilson improves the broadcast. As a twitter personality, whatever.

They don't need another 500 yard rec. They've got plenty of those. They need a legit #1, make defenses bracket rec.
You're not wrong -- Wolitarsky wouldn't solve our "no Kenny Lawler" problem ... but he would solve our "starting Concoran" problem.

Wolitarsky has dressed for two games this year.
I think the TiCats figure they don't need the national depth at Wolitarsky's price tag ... given that K Smith is playing well and BOLO seems to be fitting in well at WR5, plus they can plug in Johnny Augustine or AML at RB if they need to pump up their national count on O.
Seems like a no-brainer to bring him back if he's healthy.
