Mostly through injury or departure though... kolankowski was purely an injury fill in and he had never once been in danger of being pulled out. Neufeld can be injured all training camp and never feel pressure to lose his spot...

It makes too much sense!

Osh ain't taking Thomas off the roster unless he was dead and even then it's 50/50

I much prefer schoen to Lawler but that's me. Lawler can be amazing, but some games he wasn't amazing. We can debate schoen coming off the injury and whether he was ready or not but I'd have picked schoen over Lawler too.

I'd go 3 American ol if the interior American was at C...

Well the GM obviously envisioned a group of schoen, Mitchell, demski, clercius a d wheatfall/sterns... which is better.

With schoen on the IR who is that receiver you turn to when you absolutely must have a play? Demski... but history has shown he is at his best when he's the #3 type guy. Wheatfall is too inconsistent, sterns is limited by his size. Clercius is still young and not the real dynamic make plays all over the field type anyway. So yeah, receivers are a big problem

Yeah you see me defending collaros much?

Outplaying Zach in a Grey cup sadly isn't all that high of a bar.

Put him in bubble wrap cause trusting a guy that old to last a long season is a choice when his history isn’t one of the picture of durability

It's more of a back handed compliment. He doesn't quit when he's in trouble, he keeps trying to make a play. Sometimes it blows up sometimes it works.

Zach has played more bad Grey cup games than good ones. Guy was a decent qb in his prime, but that time is long gone.

Too stupid to know when he's beaten.

Yeah and I've said both qbs have to deal with a pile of **** around them... all I'm doing is pointing out the hypocrisy of some people who simply write off streveler as sucking meanwhile do all sorts of excuse making for collaros when he is throwing too many picks (2 more last night let's not forget), getting sacked when he holds the ball too long, having long periods of offensive ineptitude etc etc etc.

Absolutely they were. Which is why I always push back on the idea that collaros did anything special in that run.

Not revising anything, both guys got lots of playing tome6in 2019, and IMO we don't get past calgary if it's just Zach out there.

Streveler 2-0... Zach below. 500... and did Zach actually take strevelers job in 2019? Streveler had the bum ankle and both guys split time in the playoffs run. Just funny how the guy making top dollar gets all kinds of excuses but the backup just sucks.

They were also worried about crums legs

So when it's collaros it's everything else, but when it's streveler he just sucks right?

Here's another LOL moment from the game... Sterns made a heck of a grab on his touchdown catch and it was a perfectly placed ball as much as anything.... but why the **** is our endzone jump ball guy 5'8? Guy's been a good receiver for us, but man they're miscasting him as the guy you take those kinds of shots to the endzone with.

Think it was telling at halftime Holm mentioned to tsn that they were clean on their communication. Tells me that a lot of the problems the secondary has experienced were communication related.

And that's all well and good, but long field goals are iffy because of those reasons. Oshea needed to read the game situation and understand that just because Sergio has been money from a mile away doesn't mean you can regularly expect him to never miss long ones. Up 1 score with not much time on the clock the safest play is punt and pin Ottawa deep. Make them drive the field to tie. You still get OT if your defense has an epic pants pooping.

The draw back of course.... how many people in winnipeg would pay to watch the argos and riders? Similarly how many gappers gonna shell out to watch the argos and Bombers?

Allen with his size and range... he is what the secondary has been missing. Can't all be smurfs. League owes him an apology for those weak ass PI calls.
