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

Got some names? Cause most times there's a bump in play. Like I know you like to **** on a bunch of the DL who left here but they all showed more than some ofnthe guys who played before them. It's a running joke around here that you can write the depth chart in pen on day 1 of training camp... you think every position is an open competition?

This tired old argument that is demonstrated as false so many times.... we need only look at the very same MLB position to see how it's not a fair comp. Jones arguably "won" the job over bighill uet bighill kept getting trotted out until he was too hurt to play and lo and behold the position play improved.

West all-star because tackles111!!!! I'd rather a MLB that makes plays not tackles.
