He dropped one that would have been a huge play in Ottawa on a vertical. A few others to him that he was nowhere near. Clearly dangerous with the ball. Hopefully he keeps catching them and doesn’t drop 40% of this targets like the first 5 games.

I don’t even care about that one. Sometimes it’s useful to rub the refs noses in it and get their heads in the game. Think you gotta challenge that potential PI to put you on the 1 yard line.

How much did Streveler play today? Think you need focus on getting passing game going around starting QB. Collaros is best option. Can do some stuff with Streveler but it’s just going to be change of pace. It’s not easy on whole offense to go one series one guy, one series another guy in. You can only script so many plays, there’s always an adjustment to cadence and all that too. Streveler is a pretty dedicated backup QB so he works hard on keeping it consistent to what starting QB does.

Best thing they did on O was mix in screens and back off the vertical shots. Still could scale that down about 10 more percent. Use it as a chance to open up space but not a key part of the offense. Really struggle to prepare for blitz on a ton of snaps…almost need to prescribe it for Collaros with the smoke/tunnel screens.

Going for it here if I want to win the game.

Jefferson looks like he’s played 5 quarters and it’s only halftime. You’d get twice as many plays from him in half as many snaps.

Good example today of feast or famine for Ford. Stops moving his feet and it’s big plays for the Stamps leading to 2 TDs. Gotta learn to track the ball without stopping.

So you challenge to lose 2 yards but don’t challenge textbook PI to put you on the 1 yard line? Not much margin for error if you’re trying to win every game 17-16.

There have been a multitude of situations where the process doesn't require the player being allowed at team facility or even to play games. That is foolishness especially given the allegations. I'd imagine Lemon will be in some legal trouble if he bet on games he played in, especially if he bet online. They've been pursuing these cases as wire fraud.

Nate Holley.

Would it make you feel better if Feltmate was listed as a linebacker, or a corner? There's 5-6 guys on every team who are on the roster for special teams which ends up being about 1 out of 6 plays in the game.

At least we have Myron Mitchell on to model the uniform. Who needs a pass rush?

Not many starting out as the leader of the D though. Most of those guys well into their careers. Another reason why holding onto Wilson at WIL is going to bite us in the ass. Either he makes that move or we're buying someone in free agency because we aren't developing that guy through the WIL spot to get the experience to run the show.

I am not a fan of Bailey. But I'd rather have him in that 3-4 slot with Wolitarsky (hell even someone like Lucky Whitehead), just guys who play their role, can get a first down, Bailey even worked that jet sweep as much as anyone the past couple years, and be able to bring in a decent CFL prime rush end or DB/SAM and let Demski walk. Problem is they signed the receivers all out of order. Demski then Lawler then Schoen came up this February obviously. In terms of importance to the offense you could reverse them. It's painful watching an offense where Demski is one of the top 2 targets. Something that's got us moving with Streveler is Demski taking a bit of a backseat and just being a move the chains guy more than someone we're forcing vertical shots at. Who was our RB from 2012-2015? It's not as easy as that. Ottawa themselves have hardly had impactful running backs going on years. Sask, BC have struggled for years to find anyone who is more than filler. Yeah you can always plug guys in, not necessarily going to be someone who helps you win rather than just be a placeholder.

Can practice after 4 weeks. It's pretty rare for a guy to not practice for 5-6 weeks and go right into games.

I'll disagree on Demski. He's a supplementary piece not a core one. He's proven every time we've needed him to step up his role that he can't handle it. And he's on the fading end of his prime. Falling in love with those guys leads you down the path to hell in a league with a salary limit. The whole point of building Canadian depth is laughing at Saskatchewan and Ottawa for paying those guys. Oliviera could touch the ball 300 times along with being a massive piece in terms of pass protection when he doesn't get the ball. And he's in his prime right now. You'd be hard pressed to plop a random American RB in there and get the same production. There's a decade of being in that wasteland between Roberts and Harris in the recent history of this club. Yeah Fred Reid was ok for a couple years, not spectacular. If you swapped out Demski for Bailey or Dunbar at half the price you wouldn't even notice around the corps led by Lawler and Schoen.

Yeah there's a bit of a Matt Nichols vibe there. Can't hold leads, go from being unstoppable to entire halves barely able to get a first down, only putting up big stats when way behind.

One of Streveler's best highlights is his senior year @Sam Houston State #8 ranked team. Blitz coming, he stands in and throws a fade from the 45 yard line on target to Kody Case in stride right at the goal-line. Case didn't even have to adjust to the ball just right to his hands just past the coverage.

There was a glut of guys in his class of kind of tweener end/DT's. Otherwise all the DL drafted pretty cleanly fit as rush end or DT bodies. He fell behind the guys who played NCAA in his class. Edmonton prefers that for sure. Montreal took the guy from South Dakota who to me is very similar.

Makes no sense to me that Myron Mitchell is still here. If nothing else, take a look at another pass rusher. Mitchell didn't even step on the field aside from kickoff return on Friday. Ontaria Wilson at least as been building a bit. If you think Mitchell is better....cut Wilson. Case, Alston. Why do we need all these guys if we aren't going to use them?

And if Lucky fails Romby Bryant is only 44 and still a willing blocker.

That celebration was ridiculous and should be a stern talking to/fine if not suspension. The league can't shrug at someone miming pulling a handgun and shooting someone in the head.

A campaign of harassment against a team employee is a lot different to me than some criminal activity in terms of whether I'd even consider having that guy on the team. He's clearly toxic. It's not a mistake.

Put that last clip up for what happens when tackles don't move their feet.

Power rankings? I just hope we win 2 games.
