So also worth remembering, that Cobb is only playing cause Clercius is hurt anyway so it's not like he was a planned starter or anything. Jeeze even after all the **** I talk no one has wanted to fight me... what a failure I am

They will get the D figured out i have no doubts about that. Between Oshea, Younger and Hall there's too many bright minds and pride to let it stay that bad.

Choosing to make that argument when our wb goes over 400nyards passing and multiple receivers had very good stats lines seems like poor timing for this argument.

He was in as a blocker a bunch. They used a lot of protection schemes.

Then what the **** was it? The int that was tossed wasn't his fault. Receiver wound up on his ass. He threw a touchdown pass to Nield early which the Receiver didn't haul in. If the defense had played half assed decently, not even good, just not god awful collaros likely drops 40 points on Hamilton and goes over 500 yards.

So yeah the total passing numbers weren't huge... but the troubling part is that whenever Hamilton tried to pass, it was there. Pitch and catch with wide open guys all night AND run game whenever they wanted it too. Just totally unprepared to play on D. Everyone making the comparison to the Jim Daley era defense is spot on. It was that kind of smelly bad. Lucky for us the Hamilton D was almost as bad so the score wasn't a total blow out. Offense looks a lot better than last season already.

D was pathetic. That is all

Cfl rosters, you lose a couple guys at any position you're generally screwed in game.

All in all was a pretty good cfl game IMO.

Yeah he showed promise as a young guy but never took that next step. Happens a lot. He's still got value as a special teamer maybe, but as a starter since he's not needed for ratio reasons there's no reason to start him.

He's paid his dues!

-18 with a wind isn't that unusual

Still true when everyone makes the playoffs!

I think a lot of problems stemmed from preseason not being used at all to get the starting units in sync.

I'll say I was less worried about the dbs than the linebackers.... Offense about what you'd expect. Some hits, some misses. Think the OL will wind up being good this year. Receivers dropped way too many balls. Collaros was OK given his lack of arm. Could have used some more help. Defensive line can actually get after a qb again, nice to see. Now play contain too.

Another classic drive by from Mike 🙄

Oh have I got some news for you...

Yeah the healthy top 5 group of receivers you can absolutely work with... but what's after them? Yikes.

Honestly pokey, white and demski isn't the worst group you can have.... they just gotta stay healthy. Probably see different guys stepping up in different games depending on what the other team's doing. It's just the depth is pretty nonexistent

Adding Jake Ceresna to the DL changes the complexion of that unit and the D so much. Hard not to be stoked to see what they can do.

Aka a steady baseline.

This is what I don't get. We have Canadian spots designated on the roster and we don't draft based on those set in stone positions.

I think at most we keep one of them. We've dumped a pile of draft capital into linebacker so IMO, if we're settling for a guy who can tackle down field why aren't we settling with a Canadian in the position and using better imports in other more required positions? There's no reason to shoe horn as many Canadians on offense as we do when we draft so damned many defensive players
