That was so clutch for someone who likely isn't on the hands team Reminds me off when we put Bond in at RG in 2017 or 18 I believe and it changed the line. I think Randolph had one illegal procedure and I didn't see him get beat. What a great first start.

It's not just trusting the D, it's also avoiding the risk of Grant on a KO return. If you convert the first down (and arguably they did), you can bleed clock and then kick for the win with little time left.

Pokey just poked me in the ribs there with that bobble

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought that flying helmet was the football

Or he'll find an open receiver who will promptly fumble when trying for YAC

Also why do you have this far away camera in the command center without any audio to hear what they are talking about (like other sports do when they do challenges shown on TV). Without the audio it's such a useless gimmick.

You called it.

This is a good use of a challenge IMO. Not sure if we'll be overturned but there's enough there to look at and it's obviously such a critical moment. Not like challenging and ending up with -2 yards.

Ha I was thinking that too.

Collaros can't make quick reads, can't escape, and our line can't pass block = recipe for what we're seeing.

Have they let Streveler throw once this season when he's come on (aside from when he's replaced an injured Zach)? Gotta let him be a QB

I'm surprised at the delay in pulling him. He got one, possibly two plays in before CFL officiating got the communication down to pull him.

I have so much respect for what Walters has done for this club but I think he and the management team have failed at considering two key maxims for GMs. - "Trade a player a year too early rather than a year too late." -- Branch Rickey - "The key is to pay for future performance, not past performance" -- Theo Epstein Granted that MLB management is different than the CFL, but I think we've clearly failed on both accounts with Zach and his expensive 3 year contract. Wally Buono showed several times that he would not have made this mistake.

Yep. The signs were apparent last year but the fall this year has been so much steeper than I expected. We grossly misplayed our hand here. Plus the difference isn't just Brown vs Collaros. It's Brown + whatever asset we could have gotten for trading Zach + $300-400K to spend on other players vs Zach and whatever draft pick we got for Brown. Really poor management.

He didn't get hurt? That's all I've got. He can't move side to side at all anymore. The only role I can see for him at this point that makes any sense is as a nationalized American brought in for short yardage D. He doesn't seem to have anything else. Yes! I love that they gave him deep shots plus clutch second down throws to move the chains.

In all seriousness he's making me think of Schoen's rookie year. Looks like he's figuring out the waggle now and he's showing out. Wow.

I disagree with every one of you. Wilson is so overrated. He didn't catch 3 of his precious few targets and didn't even get a DPI on one of them. He barely cracked 200 yards of receiving. And he had one less reception than the rest of the Bomber receivers combined. I don't know what you guys see in him /s

I fear this regression is what we're going to be stuck with -- that we caught lightning in a bottle for a few seasons but that wore off. He's no threat with his legs, doesn't have a quick release, and now his accuracy is shot. Something needs to improve or we're hooped. Yeah me too. I think Brown is / is going to be the real deal.

I renewed my flex pack but I'm only going to be able to go to one game because I've moved to BC (am still blue and gold through and through). I'm looking to sell tickets to the other games at or below face value. - Thursday June 6th: the home opener and hopefully a bit of revenge on the Als - Friday June 21: your chance to join the "BC Sucks" chant vs the Lions They're in Section 234, Row 22. Asking $50 per ticket (just below face value), but very much open to offers!

I figured BA was done but hopefully he comes back on a team friendly salary. I like Nick Hallett at safety a lot. He looked really solid in his reps there last year. Do you think Clements goes elsewhere? I prefer Cole over him but having both of them could be key to giving Bighill a lower snap count, especially if we go Canadian in several other places. A few key resignings for me are Castillo, Grant, Gauthier (if possible) and BOLO. I love Bailey but at this stage I'd rather have BOLO to back up Demski and Woli and for his high upside.

Thanks for clarifying! I only recalled the replay where they showed Holm taking the outside flat route and pointing the slot back to Bighill. But what you said makes good sense. Alexander hardly has the speed to play safety these days and definitely was a liability at halfback.

Bighill in the Free Press today... The veteran linebacker also wanted to clear the air on what happened on the 23-yard touchdown Als quarterback Cody Fajardo threw to Cole Spieker in the third quarter with Bighill in coverage. “If you guys in the media are maybe a little bit more savvy watching football than maybe your average person, you know that we don’t ask linebackers to cover receivers vertically down the field,” Bighill said. “Let’s just say I was trying to cover up and help out. Was that my man in man-to-man coverage? No. But it’s OK, there was a miscommunication that Montreal did a good job of exploiting, coaching-wise.” ... Tell us it was Holm's fault without telling us it was Holm's fault. And I'm sure he's not wrong but not a very leader-like thing to share in the media

Bighill was unplayable with his injury. I can understand bringing Schoen out there with a snap count and for specific situations, and he did well in those situations as a clutch second down converter. But the roster decision of Bighill over Rose or Haba/Fox, and then having him out there in the second half covering a slotback instead of having Cole or Clements do it was in my opinion the biggest blunder. Gauthier was noticeable in a very good way compared to a hobbled Bighill.

Brown is the Aaron Rodgers behind a Favre of Zach Collaros. We may get a couple more good years out of Zach, or eight of Brown. I think the franchise would be better with the latter (my forum name aside)

I am sure grateful we have him as our DC rather than Etch a Sketch
