D is hitting hard. We’ll see if the Argos can make plays in the fourth after all these hard hits.

They should just knee the ball every play, and then punt! Protect the football I say 😉

Man collaros talking about how they all talked about wanting to win the west final to make sure the team is together for another week got me right in the feels. You know those guys really love playing together.
I just love that he’s here having fun and is healthy. His body language is night and day different then it was he was going through his injuries. It’s crazy to think a singular move can change history so much. It’s not crazy to say ZC maybe hangs it up after 2019 if he isn’t playing.

Nice Stan...and he has said he hasnt even considered retiring...bodes well for us...
Sad part Stan should have been accepting his 5th...got totally robbed in 2019
When it’s all said and done I think Stanley has to be the greatest o-lineman in the history of the CFL. We’re witnessing a lot of history here; we just have to soak in these moments. We may never see it again.

I’m watching the 2021 game. We were down by 12 with 11 minutes left and Collaros was cool and collective. What a surgeon.

Yes he was damned ******* good in that game no question about it. Earned the awards he did, should have been the league MOP that year.... but he is still just a running back, probably the most replaceable position in football. Always have a ton of respect for what he did for this team, but if he didn't come here it would have been some other running back doing the job adequately while the defense won us the 2019 grey cup.
That 2019 squad was the definition of a Team effort. Gutsy efforts from all phases of the game that evening. It’s hard to call one guy more important then another when as a unit they played so well together. It was amazing to see them dominate all game long.

I guess I have to see a guy who does well whenever he comes in. Like rookies in the past. Dickenson, Garcia, Rourke. Collaros, Mitchell, Dunigan, Clements, Allen, Ham & others. They were different. They made mistakes but didn't struggle as much like other rookies. They seemed to "get it" as far as the 3 down game goes while other rookies didn't. They made the most of their chances & from watching them we knew they'd be the next generation of qb stars. They just seemed to grasp the game faster than others who failed & then made plays like veteran qbs with more experience.
That's what I want to see. Dru Brown standing out as a qb like the other guys did. Not just one game or a single drive but whenever he gets the chance. We haven't seen enough to annoint him The Next One like you think he is. I hope Brown's feet are frozen firmly to the ground on the sidelines for the entire game on Sunday & Collaros plays. That is, unless we're up by three scores with under a minute to play & he finishes the game handing off to Oliveira.
I know I'll get slammed for this post about Brown but my observations comes from watching young qbs come & go since 1965. Always wondering why some guys made it & others didn't. Some qbs that were extremely talented & were supposed to be a "sure thing" were a disappointing flop. Others with far less tools in their toolbox became successful CFL qbs.
I never said he was the next one. In my other post you can see clearly I’m not even sure he’s a starter in this league, however as a back up quarterback he’s done everything that’s been asked for him. You just named some of the best quarterbacks in CFL history. If the standards are is he going to be an all time great based on what I’ve seen I would say no probably not, but he’s a good back up QB who got the job done in the limited opportunities that he’s had.

Okay. And??? If that's his resume to be our long term starter if Collaros ever does suffer a serious injury, what say you then? We're in good hands because of one drive? I say we really should have a veteran who can go in & at least give us a chance to win if needed. The third string qb should be the developmental guy. What is the difference between Brown & Prukop right now? I'd say not a whole lot.
He played well against BC as well. Whether or not hes a starting QB in this league that remains to be seen but he has good intangibles, fairly mobile in the pocket, and unlike a guy like Farjardo he has the arm strength to make those tough throws. Don’t know what else you want out of your back up. He came in to win us the game in a pinch, and put up a 300 yard passing game against the second best team and defence in the league.

Not convinced, Yet to show he's capable of leading this team if need be. He's still a kid.
Came in and drove the field for a game winning drive in Ottawa. That was gutsy.

shows his total lack of knowledge about anything....u can never fix an oline in an off-season....it will either cripple your SMS if there were 4 guys available, and there wont be..every difference maker will be locked up before FA....and even if there were a few...It likely makes u change the ratio somehow to accomodate...so ripple affect thru the roster...Fast and cheap american receiver? what about talented....versatile and character guys??...let QB pick the O.C...yeah...ok....what an idiot.....looks like it's Dane for them...if they get lucky...or more Faj as the QB landscape just dried up
Thing is BLM wouldn't have done it for them there any way, as he would have commanded at least 400k plus there...not like they were getting anyone on the cheap to allow them to shore up elsewhere
Agreed like fix oline is a singular problem and not 5-7 guys you need to be effective to make your oline work in an effective way over the course of a season.

I'd also wonder why from 2019-2022 it's only his third straight and not fourth...
A little thing called covid in 2020. I too try to forget that year.

If Dane Evans thought he had PTSD playing in Hamilton, imagine how he’d feel playing behind Saskatchewan’s o-line. He should go be a back up on a good team for a year and re group.

I wonder if BC gives VAJ a few looks in the 2nd half to mix it up a bit or no matter what they’re all in with Rourke.
With his scrambling ability that definitely worries me in these conditions but I think Rourke played just well enough at the end there to get more rope.

As long as we don’t beat ourselves we will be just fine. We’re controlling the game on both sides, just can’t turn the ball over. All things considered… it was a fine half of football!

We got lucky on that one.
