Edmonton's wheel of running backs stopped at a very limited role player for some reason.

17 on Edmonton fighting for 4 yards cost Edmonton 1 play on this drive.

This is a classic Lapo try to hold a halftime lead through the whole second half game. Offense has done nothing for a whole half.

League flags most contact on QB's but you can spear a receiver in the earhole still.

That's a spear right into a helmet. How is that not flagged?

Quite similar to Burnham's in Sask though. Pretty blatant No Yards missed there.

Doesn't have control.

That's PI.

Man 16 on Ottawa needs to pitch that ball. Gave up a sure TD.

Elks let 2 seconds run down before they call timeout.

Pretty bad hold by Edmonton's RT to facilitate the big play.

Think Behar is concussed from the goal-line hit.

The D tightening up wasn't 4th quarter magic though. There were some pretty substantial adjustments in the last 20 minutes of that game.

I'd put him at SAM. Figure out where the rookies fit after that.

Well when they finally calmed down Calgary's inside zone plays in the 4th they had Bighill at WIL and Gauthier at MLB. Noticed on rewatch too a lot of Maruo as a standup rush end, like a 3-4 OLB. Haven't found much I like in Clements. That WIL spot is really the only one that consistently in the box in this scheme and he's not making any plays. Even a guy like Maruo who plays about 1/4 of the snaps gets to the ball more often.

Stove is a cancer?

At least we're paying Bailey six figures to be the best damn blocking 3rd receiver in the league.

So why have on-field officials at all? They have to make a call even if it's close. Collaros dives for a "potential fumble" incomplete pass they didn't blow dead and breaks his wrist or separates his shoulder and then what? The whistle would have been moot on the review if Calgary made a clean recovery. There's no issue with the application of the rule or replay for those type of plays.

BC needs to develop a run game. O'Connor can't pass well enough to be viable with his lack of mobility at this level. Shitty arm, yeah can throw far but can't fit the ball in because it has to be a rainbow, so no mid-range accuracy. Pipkin and BC's current 3rd stringer are both RPO type QB's leaning more towards the R. Get another tailback rostered and run to pass. BC's OC is probably the worst run designer in the league over his time. Leaves it all on the QB.

Ford or Demski. We have no skill guys on PR. Could bite us this week depending on how injury list plays out.

If Grant continues to be out there's a pretty easy opportunity to roster an import back if Oliviera is out. Too bad we haven't had one on the PR. Punt returner would be nice too, really tempting fate just throwing guys out there who don't have confidence to catch them. 5 NI's on O, 2 on D. So you need to have 3 OL, 2 receivers/RB on field at all times for NI's. Some insulation there for import backup. On D you need 2 NI's on field at all times, usually have one in the secondary for sure, 3 rotating DL (Thomas, Hansen, Lawson) plus 3 rotating LB's in Gauthier, Briggs, Maruo depending on packages.

On D. The problem for BC was they declared 4 starters on O but don't have the players to run that without the QB. In the long-term they probably need to start 3 NI OL instead of 3 imports. They play 4 non imports (including globals) on the DL. They often play 2 non import LB's. But they declared 4 on O, only 3 on D.

You can play him without counting him as one of the 7 starters. It's not the passport that matters it's how they declared the roster.

Our special teams cover and run D need to learn a lot from the Calgary game.

No it's incredibly stupid. They could have just adjusted their DL/LB rotation to have one more Canadian on D at all times. Most snaps they play more than they need on D. If you have Rourke and a Canadian backing him up it's not much of an issue, but if you only dress one Canadian QB you can't have that guy as one of your 7.
