I don't think Fox is much of a player. Adams looking good but invisible last week. Haba too is pretty meh. See what Garbutt has soon hopefully. Woods is looking like a solid nose. Occupies gap, occupies blocks, make some plays when they are there but most importantly does his job.

Oliviera has barely played this season.

To add to this...Lucky Whitehead is not a good receiver. He's a playmaker type guy. He's not going to stabilize our offense. We need a strong workhorse type of slotback, great technical receiver. Without that kind of guy there's no space for someone like Whitehead to do what he does well anyways.

Yeah Collaros mobility has declined significantly even since 2021. There's not much scrambling anymore. You need an all-time elite OL to keep him producing. And that's hard to do even if you spend money on OL. Like our OL peaked in 19-21 and has been declining since. I don't feel we'd be much better off if we paid Hardrick if at all. He was quite bad last season and isn't lighting it up in Sask.

Turns out the wins are ******* off.

Brown is looking pretty damn solid in terms of playing a clean game but also having that ability to make every throw and open it up. Gonna be sad watching his career and lots of wins unfold somewhere else.

Looks like a guy who wishes the stadium was still in St James.

Sounds like every receiver I've ever met. Would have had 2000 yards and 25 TDs if QB would have just thrown me the ball. Forget the fact that when the plays were there to be made they quit on their route or dropped the ball. God I hate receivers.

Garbutt is highly touted for a guy who hasn't set foot on the field. He might want to quit now while he's ahead.

Dru Brown's got ice water in his veins. Ottawa just needs to get out of Lapo's coaching tree now.

Edmonton bid their 1st rounder 2025 for Zach Mathis. So no one else had a shot at him.

You're assuming these guys are in shape to play though. Same with Agudosi. Ellingson only got into a handful of games his past 2 CFL seasons with a pretty gnarly foot issue.

Let Streveler get reps with the young receivers too and they'll probably develop some chemistry. Even in that game saw lots of evidence of that happening 15-20 mins in. You're not going to throw the ball 40 times with Streveler but if you can't build an offense around him, Oliviera, Augustine, Smith, Feltmate, 7 OL and whatever receivers we have you're a dumbass. So much for a D to have to think about there, just give them looks where they have to make a choice to free up some space for a runner or receiver. There's no use running empty backfields and even 3 by 2 etc type formations. Make everyone on the field have to look into backfield to try to diagnose what might happen. You get a couple guys stopping their feet and thinking and you have big plays or at least first downs. Smith is likely the most dangerous American we have on the roster. If he doesn't have a role on offense next week it will be extremely disappointing.

They talk in there like he’ll familiar with offense. He never played with Collaros he was already out of the lineup by the time Collaros took over in 19. CFL vet sure.

That was Dobson who completely quit on the play when Collaros still had the ball. Coatney wasn’t even moving until Dobson disengaged and gave him a free run into the pocket.

Maybe he found a Time Machine to go back to when his feet still worked…but Whitehead is just another guy in that 6’ and under mix. We need a couple guys with a catch radius who can work in traffic. Guy I was thinking of who is done is Darvin Adams…like that style of receiver. I would consider someone like Wieneke as a stop gap just to get someone who is somewhat useful on the field. Hopefully Alston can play and catch the ball.

Why would he be expensive? He's making $0 right now. I don't think he's what we need anyway.

I'd say we were pretty lucky with the wind factor basically killing any vertical passing tonight. We got to load up. Even then the Stamps made a lot of plays on us outside the numbers because our guys aren't rallying to the ball. They made some really bad play calls to go vertical when we could do nothing to stop a screen, or that 2 man route with a vertical run at the corner and a quick out by the slot to the sideline.

0-4 and have been favoured to win every game. Was going to put down a chunk on Calgary covering 3.5 tonight but chickened out.

Adjust to what though? That's just straight up getting beat. Calgary was picking on our DB's not getting off blocks and our LB's (talking the true LB's here, Wilson and Bighill) having no range to do anything against those plays. Then you see like Montreal did teams will show those looks to draw DB eyes and go vertical.

Just no real playmakers on D. We're celebrating a single turnover in a game these days.

You'd think we'd have a much more varied run scheme given the weapons we do have...Streveler, Oliviera, Augustine, Smith....and 7 OL plus fullback dressed....some big guys who are willing to block like Clercius and Wolitarsky....can we build in a real RPO scheme....zone read scheme even if Zach out there?

Like who? Clercius looked good today too. We need to use the bigger body receivers on those contested routes. Demski is not that type of receiver. Going to be continued turnovers if we try to force him into that.

They need to dress Alston next week. Total joke to be throwing those 50-50 balls at Demski. Wolitarsky or Alston. Guys with bodies who can get leverage with some height to be a target. Demski has his role and it's not catching contested balls at the top of his route.

Wishing we picked the end with the wind in our faces now.
