Shitty weather in May and June is also so much worse in this part of the world. It's humid and bone-chilling when cold. Or pouring rain. Weather in May-June is crazy volatile. Literally the time of year when all the storm chasers are hanging out in MB/SK and the Dakotas waiting for rotation. Speaking as someone who has had involvement in spring and fall football my entire life. Fall is far more manageable.

We don't have a ton of insight on how the game roster comes together, but my gut says: a) Younger has fallen in love with too many role players. Most of whom have the wrong passport. We shouldn't need more than one of Wilson/Jones/Ayers really with the D we play. Two is already pushing it. Griffin is basically an every down guy now. Jones and Wilson almost never play 2nd and 5 together. Woodbey/Griffin we shouldn't need more than one. Woodbey/Ayers, shouldn't need more than one. Those Canadians need to become our role players. Smith, Shay, Stuart. b) Miller/O'Shea are in love with the same guys for their utility on special teams. Based on how we used guys last night we basically have Vaval, Ayers and Castillo as Americans who only play special teams. When we needed an extra guy on D, ******* Jake Kelly was the guy, not Vaval. If we sort out the guys in part A, we could dress a guy like Singer who maybe takes on kickoff returns and gives us cover for Vaval, plus some utility on O. Then we can use Vaval on D....because he's a guy who is also poised to breakout and is a playmaker in general. Getting him some D reps would be a major positive because we don't have a lot of DB's making plays on the ball. We have a lot of DB's making tackles. There's an opportunity cost to all these decisions. And as we saw, our D ******* blew for 2.75 quarters of that game anyways. For special teams, Brody Clark already looks like a ******* beast. First guy down there most kicks for us last night, think he had 2 tackles. You got Clark, Kelly, Shay, Smith, Hallett, Corcoran/Cobb, Chris-Ike, Cadwallader who are primarily cover guys. That should be more than enough combined with the starters. Ultimately, going into next week, seeing how that game played out. I'd turn Woodbey into Reese. Gatkuoth barely played, only came in when Ceresna pulled himself on the last drive and a few other reps sprinkled in. He's not a guy who is going to give us a lot of burst out there anytime soon. He needs some time. Hamilton doesn't run much. Against a different team I might consider Fletcher, but against Hamilton we need guys who can fly off the line in pass reps. DL of Ceresna, Lawson, Jefferson, Jenkins, Dixon, Reese, Gatkuoth is pretty solid IMO, especially for pass rush. Get Jenkins and Reese used to some 3 tec reps too. I'd sit Ayers for Singer. Give us some more options on O and in return game to make Vaval somewhat of a player on D too. Longer term if we really want some big bodies it would be nice to see a real TE style receiver on the team. Tons of American guys who are solid receivers at 230-260 lbs and can block a little bit too. Daniels is basically a 7th OL IMO. Very few routes he's going to win in this league.

They need the extra American DL. Gatkouth is like Bambi out there. Look what happened on the last drive when Ceresna pulled himself out. They need another guy who can play right now.

I think it's fair to say our DB's weren't in spots to make plays. Which is a schematic problem. And again, the main job of the front against that particular QB needs to be keeping him in the pocket, letting him panic and then wrapping him up.

Special teams key again. Calgary hoofs the ball out of the endzone, hands us the ball at the 40 with no time off the clock on the kickoff. Could have put a little air under that and made Vaval start from the 10.

Just ******* kick it.

Calgary had absolutely no one past the 2nd level on that play. Demski with a free run on the right side if we have a call to get out of that run.

CJOB crew says they have the wind. TSN doesn't mention it.

Ceresna pulls himself out of the game for the two most important plays. Great.

How the **** do they not call the hold?

Why the **** is Jake Kelly out there instead of Vaval or Smith or anyone else?

The achilles that will save our coaching staff from itself and get another DL on the roster.

Younger has no idea how to scheme coverage behind an actual pass rush.

Need a DB to make a play.

Woodbey always just 2 steps behind the play.

Every time they've maintained their rush lanes they've sacked him.

Gotta call that hold.

Demski way offside.

Better make sure Brady is rested for the home opener.

**** these DL need to maintain their leverage. Why are you giving up that ground to the QB?

Calgary is only in this game because our front consistently lets VA out of the pocket.

Man...if guys like MCI wonder why they don't get on the field....don't make lackadaisical plays like that when you get the opportunity.

How do we rush 4 and let the QB bust contain on ******* 2nd and 18!!!!

Griffin should have picked that. Didn't read the ball at all.

The DB is in full back pedal there. The contact does nothing, White is cutting back to the goal-line.
