    You need adequate time to hit the routes that are called.  So if they are trying to take vertical shots and want that to be a large part of the offense, they need to be able to protect so their QB can make the read (some of that pre-snap for sure) and have time/space to make that throw.  That was not there on the majority of drops last night.  You think the fastest guy in the league running at full sprint is taking 4 and a half seconds to get 40 yards downfield so you need 3+ seconds really if you're taking vertical shots and expecting to hit them.

    Something probably a lot of people don't consider is the space in the pocket....like it's as impactful to the QB (and to some extent the RB) if one of the OL is getting driven into him as if a defender is loose.  Forces QB to bring eyes down and navigate pocket more than read downfield or be able to set feet to throw.  Huge effect on ability to go vertical with a pass.  Pocket for a straight drop is basically the mouth on a sad face emoji.  Any deviation from that can be a problem for the QB's ability to get that ball out on time, accurately.

    Does Collaros force the vertical stuff?  Absofuckinglutely.  It's been his style forever.  He's your guy, you've gotta be building the offense around that.  I'm not a fan of that "switch" (that's what we call it, basically inside slot crosses safety face on vertical through the middle) GO route to Demski.  He's gotta be wide open to catch that even if that's a perfect ball.  Hate that we're calling plays that rely on a defensive breakdown.  I don't know if Schoen is struggling physically, but we sure aren't seeing him go vertical a ton.  And other than Wheatfall/Schoen we're not brimming with catch radius guys which is always who Collaros has success with.

    IMO...OL yesterday was about a 4/10.  Not a total disaster like games against Toronto last year, but if that's the level they played 18 games at you'd be a sub-.500 team.  D basically score 10 points last night, O had 3 scoring drives.  Nowhere near good enough.  Way too much pressure, not moving anyone at the line, not creating those creases for the backs in zone to make their cut and hit a seam with speed.  Overall if you want to boil it down, they got bodied on more plays than not.  BC had almost all their guys and they came out with a bit more fire on the DL, and once they got going things snowballed physically for our OL. 

    Week 1 they were about a 8/10.  Amazing opening vertical gaps for the RB's, and basically no pressures allowed at all on dropbacks, physically dominant.  Only time you saw anyone on BC's DL was on rollouts.  First half some struggles but mostly on QB/receivers getting in rhythm.  Run game was dominant from start to finish and that's all physicality from OL because the back is all slash...hit the mark in zone, make the cut, hit the crease.  Crease isn't there, Peterson isn't making something from nothing like Oliveira might to grab 5-6 yards.

    And this is what I come to MBB for...

    He did that last week too.  I had to go looking for video for Valal in college to see how it was being pronounced (Vah-lull seemed to be most common) so no idea where Nielsen got it from.

    That doesn't seem right either... Isn't it Vaval (not Valul)....so VAH-vull. Which is how DT says it...

    *Edit*

    Double checked the roster.... Vaval... VAH-vull....

    Was sacked at least once and rushed a few times. I think JBRs point (and forgive me if I'm wrong here) is that maybe Zach needs better than "adequate time" in the pocket to be lethal. I still believe he has the ability... But he needs more around him than he did in 2022 when he lit the world on fire. Now, you can have the debate about "he's making too much money to need that much help" debate all you want, but the point remains... He needs a very specific set of tools to be truly successful.

    WTF are you talking about?  Nichols was knocked out of that season months before they traded for Collaros.  Collaros was here for a week before he started the second game he was here for.

    This whole manufacturing of narratives to be over the top negative has to stop.  I know our fanbase can't handle winning.

    I don't know what's more embarrassing....the fan turnout in Cal or the actual play   ....AND what appears to be crappy camera work, resulting in a picture that looks like they are playing under water

    They basically are... It is torrential rain in Calgary right now. Something like 100+ mm rain expected from Friday night through Sunday.

    Does this signing spur Ehlers at all to stay? We can’t offer him a first line role, but if we have a stronger second line that allows him to get 1A line minutes and point production, is that enough to keep him here?

    Or does this signing mean he's for sure gone and we're using his potential cap space... Cause JT *could* cost as much as 7- Million in cap space next year if he hits all his bonuses
