Is that realistic? Every qb gets hit.

This is the correct statement. I know kids, I'm scared too. Noeller hit the nail on the head...

Which is true, but says far more about the quality of qbs currently in the cfl than anything else. Honestly Brady Oliveira saved collaros' ass last season. If Brady didn't get rolling collaros didn't have the same ability to carry the offense he did a few years ago.

Zachs processing may or may notnbe slower but he was slower getting the ball away and took some hits he didn't have to. Guy was looking a bit gun shy with the OL taking step back last season.

I'd have rolled the dice with streveler and brown personally but might not have been an option. Feel better letting brown go assuming we keep streveler anyway. Collaros has a year or two left IMO before he needs to be replaced.

Not seeing a person play has never stopped anyone from judging them before.

Ban yourself for that.

That's not entirely true, he went from being totally invisible to once in a while being seen

Yeah that comment reaks of living in the past, like say 5 years ago. And even then it was more the depth than pure top end talent.

2019 and 2021 that just won the trenches so hard teams couldn't compete. 8 guys rotating along the defensive line who could contribute. We lost that the past couple years and you see the difference. No grey cups.

They picked him specifically because they felt he was the most pro ready. The roster usage was garbage last season.

It's not even a judgement on picking Bennett.. but the guy was not a useful piece at all and he was only there because they wanted NIs in that role. Maybe he develops more and is useful in the future, but last year he was not. So that coupled with a useless DI in Jackson and the defensive line was not a strength of this team because the rotational pieces were utter trash. Using the Nationalized American rule could have helped that.

What it does mean is that we wouldn't need useless uniform fillers like Bennett taking ineffective DL snaps during a game. Could use an American for that and have your Canadian depth be a useful piece somewhere else.

or osh over estimating them....

Probably pretty well outside of 4 stripe land.

Thing is we had a lot of wasted roster spots. Dressing 7 OL hindered the team. Yes they used all of them for certain offensive packages... but was it the best use of roster? Not really IMO. Jackson was a total waste because he didn't do anything well enough to justify a DI spot there. Regularly dressing bodies who don't play a single snap... these things need to improve to get the best out of the team.

It was only decent when the writer from Hamilton was there. After that lost all credibility. Fanboi bloggers now, nothing more.

People put up with a lot of **** at work hoping it will get better....

Are you serious? She's filing this because she feels like unacceptable behavior was swept under the rug and they just rid of her instead of addressing her concerns.

We got enough Canadians that in a pinch they can go 3 Americans on the ol

I watched matlock in a bar last night, the sound was off but I got the gist of it.

Well case closed then.

If this **** came out about anyone on the Bombers I know I'd react the same way. I don't recall many people protesting Lawler being suspended for his DUI and in fact I think the only thing that saved him in the eyes of most here was his accepting responsibility and trying to make amends.

Harris peed in the cup and got busted and protested his innocence because of whatever reasons... Leonard refused to pee in the cup, claimed innocence anyway and harassed the drug tester on the way out. It's not the same situation IMO.

I doubt it would be different to be honest.
