The guy is (was) a legend for childrens books. I remember reading them with my parents when I was really young and then doing the same with my kids when they were smaller. His works are timeless.

Option 1A and Option 1B cannot both be always "one hit" away from being compromised which then results in sub par performance. I could not understand why this season they would use Strev as a "battering ram" or run short yardage when Wilson is healthy and helllllllluva better at short yardage. Our o-line is not great, but we've had games where the QB has had time to throw and they end up holding onto the ball and/or tossing it into triple coverage. In the old days, Glenn played behind some poop o-lines but his ability to take two steps back and rifle the ball out made a huge difference in negating the rush. With Zach + Strev it feels like they must roll out and need several seconds for a play to generate only for Zach to toss it into triple coverage or Strev dumping it down for a 6 yard pass. We used to carve up teams with quick strikes where a Demski / Lawler / Schoen would catch the ball 12 yards out in stride and then gain the extra 5 - 15 yards. It's part of the combo of why we are limping badly this year. My order of issues would be 1 - OC 2 - QB play 3 - O-line I don't think the receivers are a huge problem and clearly Brady is the only one playing at an all star level.

Echols will go in at the very end of the season or when injuries force him to play. At no point will they give him a shot to see if he can shine.

If guys like Dolegala and Patterson a few years back were able to walk into the CFL and be able to throw for 250 yards .... their is no excuse that a vet like Strev struggles mightily to do the same this far along his career. We can't blame LaPolice and his dink and dunk game for what is happening this season.

Strev is done, time to move on after this season.

Why wouldn't they give Wilson a few series in the 3rd quarter to at least give it a shot and/or give Strev some time on the sideline to watch the game/ reflect / wake up..... I've seen many many other teams do this. Why can't we?

I don't see them giving up on O'Shea ... however I could see them bringing back LaPo as OC again which will make everyone give up and lose hope.

Looks like I missed another great performance by the O. No way in hell does Hogan come back next year right?

Over/under 2 weeks before someone steals the antennas?

Show Zach a Gary Goodridge interview and scare the living s*** out of him.

If I'm the Argos I keep Kelly on the bench and next season re-evaluate what to do with Kelly.

Didn't Jake Thomas used to take reps at oline back in the day.... I think I found a solution !!

Crum has shown more then Strev. I'm a huge Strev fan (used to be my avatar for a few years on here) , but without his legs being healthy he's just not going to cut it. Sadly a guy like Dolegala would of been a better back up since he at least has the health to drop back and toss a dart (even if it is off target) and also being able to take a hit and get back up.

It just feels like the Blue 3 seasons ago were able to physically beat up teams and roll in depth players to keep legs fresh and were able to out muscle teams which would then lead to the turnovers on D and far more holes for the run game + time in the pocket for Zach. I said the same thing last season around this time of the year, they haven't been able to dominate anything at all. This team has absolutely no edge and are limping along. We need fresh faces and a pulse badly.

Knowing how our management works... Wilson will be given 1 quarter and given up on without a chance to settle in.

What's the odds that they move on from Strev next season?

I dont think they need to clean house with Walters and O Shea. They need a wake up call and definitely a new wave of players. Its the CFL you can change a team in just one off season.

Fire OC, promote Jackson? That's about the only big move they could make? Next season they could use 2 - 3 new starters out of free agency.

ZC is signed for 2026. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!@

I'm assuming Hogan gets fired after this season? How could they bring him back?

I am hoping for 15+ carries tonight... run the damn ball.

He may not be a great head coach but he isn't a complete moron like Mike Kelly. I wouldn't crap all over the guy and dismiss what he has done. Sometimes people have growing pains and make rookie mistakes and grow and learn as a coach. Other times they peak early and make decisions to start Jake Thomas and hire an OC with zero experience.....

Price was done playing a few years ago.
