Pass pro was really hit or miss. Randolph got whupped with speed a few times. He's still an upgrade in pass pro over lofton, and a side grade in run pro. Dobson was good, but he certainly hasn't lived up to the Desjarlais level of potential he possesses. I think Wallace is more reliable now than Dobson was last year. And with the out side shot at ending up a RT. 
Every one had bad plays on the OL. Bryant has dropped off a lot. Neuf was goofed on really bad on the play action play. Nearly become a butt tackle. Kola was baaad bad bad, as per usual. 
 
Peterson was really good as bradys replacement. Better than augustine was. But bradys ability to consistently churn out yards and hammer through for steady gains is critical to us. 
 
Should've been Austin Apodaca. 
We could'v kept brown, brought back strevy to back him up, and traded zach away for assets. Then used the 2-300k to sign 1-2 impact guys. 

Yeah the DL was less than useless. 4 games in and willie is totally gassed. Jake is Jake and can barely even be a speed bump anymore. Fix the roster issues. If Eli isn't good enough to take Kolankowski's spot stop dressing him because 7 OL is a luxury this team can't afford. 

23 and 24 I’m a little more ok with. 22 will always be the one that pisses me off. There was no excuse for losing that game and it all turned after that stupid, stupid call to have Prukop chuck it down the field. Buck has any sense in his head at that point and we would have a 3peat, won in Regina of all places. I’ll never get over that one. 

I can't believe we're still doing this to ourselves... Over and over with the GC losses. Christ. 
Zach buggers his ankle in the WF in 23. Zach shreds his hand in 24. Both total flukes and changed the situation dramatically. And injuries to Bighill, Schoen and others are absolutely massive to the outcome. 
But honestly... We need to move on. It's 5 straight Championships of the toughest division in Canadian football. Anything can happen in a one game, winner take all. All good, yo. 

To paraphrase Doug Brown, he's with his brother. They get to talk about each loss together and bond.

I bet Hagerty didn’t wanna go on the PR

Kayaking on Lake Flathead in Montana today and what do I find?  A roughriders flag on a private pier:

So I grabbed some pebbles and left them a message:

 
 

Start @Booch for Jake

We should’ve learned our lesson last year from what Bryant went through. If a linemen is sick for a week, don’t throw him into the heat of a summer game.  
 
have the opportunity to make some good changes, not betting we will see more than 1 positive change though.

Unleash Adams as the punter!
FYI: WR Nic Demski, who had two TDs last week and now has four on the season, was suited up on Sunday but limited… P Jamieson Sheahan was in attendance, but did not handle any punting chores. Sergio Castillo and defensive tackle Devin Adams — who punted in college — took turns punting… DB Ethan Ball, who injured his hand during training camp, was back practising for the first time on Sunday.

either him or Randolph....the other at RT....My guess is boh those guys will be the starters next yr....and good to see...2 young active Tackles that are being deveoped and could be here for 5..6 yrs at least...Unless Manu falls in our lap soon...then we have a Canadian option at one or the other and Vpool can slide back to guard
sadly....most likely....par for the course here but maybe we get a surpise....as I havnt noticed him at all and I sure the coaches havnt either....but in Osh eyes sometimes that means nothing
 
you can dump Cooley for that...Bailey for Weitz....and Person gets added for Korn or Thomas....then we cooking 

We are too banged up right now. To many guys playing hurt and depth is ravaged. We didn’t use Cooley as much as I’d a liked and he showed really well.  But if Brady is good to go, we need roster depth else where. 

This bye system favours some teams & not others. The NFL plays a 17 game schedule with just one bye. I'd be in favour of getting rid of the third bye as it just exyends the season. Just go with two. 

If BO is back then Person for COoley makes a ton of sense...Woods is still hurt i think
Bailey for Weitz too would make a lot of sense...I don't think 3 import oline is a dire need...we need to play Wallace and let him develop....and hes hardly looked outta place 
We also need to develop a speed/power end so this is the perfect opportunity 

Brady is big enough to play MAC linebacker. Should we Chris Jones the lineup? /s

Another version of condensed game footage from last night’s awesome game. This one shows replays of the big plays. Enjoy!
Note: I have no plans on profiting off of these videos as it’s obviously not my content. Just doing this for fans that may have missed the game/want to watch it again in under 45 minutes. I believe TSN should be doing this already, and am thrilled to see the Bombers starting to do this on their own YouTube. 

3-0 overall, 3-0 versus the West. Its all coming up, Blue Bombers.

Yeah, you can see that slipping out and hitting the turf. It's better that they got it right, no one can say 'that's why they won'

I got to say Kramdi has simply been getting better every single year for us. Seeing him as a rotational player to what he is now has been incredible. He’s been absolutely lights out for the Bombers this year. He just always seems to be in the right spot at the right time. He had a great open field tackle on I think it was Gittens Jr. to limit him to six yards, if he doesn’t make that play it’s a huge gain, the trust Younger puts in his players when he sends 7-8  to know they can make a play or a tackle is incredible.
