Booch

YEAH...WE are majorly handcuffing ourselves. It effectively allows defenses to just blanket or top 2..3 guys in certain schemes with the knowledge they can cheat of of almost half our weapons And we have zero diversity in the kind of guys we employ....and our basic structure...well actually lacks structure....we either cant...or refuse to do any layering of any kind and rely too much on guys being static waiting for the pass....

yup...Last game a couple guys really made an impact with some tough catches...but was that an anomaly?...cause for most part this yr haven't been doing it very much. If that is the new norm then excellent...why it took 11 games to get there with veterans is kinda baffling...but if was just a good game wedged between a bunch of less than stellar ones..then we need to get better...Cobb's spot be a good place to start....his 14 catches and sub 10 yard avg just isnt good enough

Strong as an ox too...23 reps on the 225 Bench...Thats getting in elite numbers for a WR so could be a nice prospect to win contested balls

yup...all about game flow and what's there...or not. A guy could be schemed into a gameplan as well as a decoy for most part only....so a quiet game may have been intended...Using routes and plays teams have watched film on and expect, to pull em away from other guys to be successful...that's good coaching But a guy like you said for a lack of a better word just "sucks" at getting separation or open in a position beneficial to get a pass...that needs to be addressed

nope

why we need a diff type guy...we have no real true #1 game breaker Yup we need another type guy...a guy who can win battles alone just with size/strength if we are not gonna go get a true game breaker...like yhou said that would help a ton Closest guy we have to that is Clercius and he needs to be integrated on a consistent basis. Tho only 4 targets this yr he is at 100 percent completion percentage but career wise he is 76% on 101 targets...he just makes catches...And he has hands like vices and is no threat to fumble..Pokey and Demski scare the crap outta me in traffic...Clercius thrives there If anything, he should be in Cobbs spot, as he offers nothing other than a decent injury replacement and can return if again...injuries occur in a game. Neild and Big Kev can alternate playing inside..outside....even sets with both inside We do need a downfield deep threat guy to stretch teams a bit...Pokey isn't that guy...he's great in horizontal routes for getting ball in space or with him in full stride. White kinda same thing...he can be a deep guy taking top off, but you dont really wanna have him doing that a lot...he works well in the short to intermediate game and can turn 6 yards into 30 in a heartbeat...same with Pokey Thats where Singer would really help us as he showed he can be a downfield guy, and assist in layered routes with Demski who also can be that guy...But if you have 2 guys who are that threat...one will always have man coverage as opposed to 2...or 3 guys on him...greatly increasing the success of our vertical game....And its an easy thing to do...Remove Hazen who if we all being honest...Offers less than nothing to our roster and will never see field ahead of anyone above Shay....4 games in he has 1 ST tackle...we can live without that

Yeah I mentioned that..hoping tho he may come back late Even tho he was one of the best SAMs in the league I never thought of him at safety as I didnt think they would use Smith there..be a better WIL I think but hes been killing it at SAM...he kills it wherever The way we employ the safety and half time are in a strong /feee kinda scheme as it is...The net positive of him there..leaving Smith at sam and closer to the box would I bet really put us over the top.

didnt look like a rookie by any stretch

man he just a pick factory

i'll beat the mofo till its dead and gone...we 2 tweeks...Maybe 3 from really turning this around but I gotta see at minimum back to back games like yesterday to think we changed some internal things...we do an encore next sunday I could see a real taken out behind the barn beating in the BB...then we really in buiness

Condell definitely earned his paycheque...Impressive...The use of the receivers we had rostered was best all season too, and hopefully a trend and not an anomoly You could see from get go Neuf was in mad mode and it rubbed off...

that was fast and easy...keep it up Argos

Agreed.. he always has been good in the fraccass and some blitz packages..and as I said in different post like his agitator smack talking gifts..we need more of that But of all our lbs hes the worst in his drops or coverage responsibility..and doest have best pursuit angles...

No..they not good enough...havnt obviously practiced enough reason for that. Thats basic football fundamentals that have been an issue all yr. coming out being out schemed..not adjusting or adapting to game flow...poor execution from say lack of practice reos..thats not being properly prepared...a coach can't tackle and catch for them...but he can run practices to hone fundamentals tho..maybe he did...doubt it tho.

Lol...well me hahahaha..or some good ones in Cali but hes an east coast dude i think

needs to do some speed and agility training this off-season....And doesn't need to drop mass to accomplish that either. Get that dialed in a bit and he could become a real pain in ass for defences

T.O just may too

For a smaller guy mass wise...he punches about 2 divisions higher thats for sure

He does seem to be getting better....and if we use him a bit more effectively too it will further develop him...Yet to see us use him in true TE fashion inside the 5 and slide out for an easy mismatched TD pass

I don't think he ready for tackle here yet...He needs to learn to play less upright...especially here with smaller edge guys...But he'd make a great 6th olineman, if we tried Eli at center to free up a DA spot...

I had no issue with Neuf's play and we needed that edge back...And it worked because you saw it all through the line...Wallace's best game of the year as well...He played more like a 5 yr vet last night. Once that monster dials it all in and figures out his strengths......yikes! And I will say it again...I think Bryant was not 100 percent until last week and it affected his play...especially in static position on passing plays outta the snap...last 2 games...worlds better...he was moving and grading last night...and now he has a stable base again his big asset...his hand skills showed MOS gets my props too...Like you said he actually did some smart decision making right outta the gate...only real blunder was that penalty on Pokey...shoulda tossed his flag there I hope he see's the reality Vav's is our best corner and adds a huge difference in the backfield, and the sample we saw with Texada....real good...we need those 3 youngins (Williams) to get some familiarity with each other down the stretch here....and if we fix that safety void....we have shades of a 2019 Backfield reboot to totally solidify things...I truly think putting Nichols there could do it. As really that's the only real option we have outside of Hallett/Kelly/Kramdi since he refuses to dress Stuart Fletcher is also rounding into form and what I saw he could be in TC...He's becoming disruptive cause he is playing fast now...and seems to make a big play or 2 a game

one the things I do like about Jone's game is he is an agitator and loves to talk smack, in a non harming way to the team! either way we were destined to not change a thing...so if we can squeeze every bit of juice outta some these guys I guess thats what we gonna have to do...but man...a few lil tweeks....and...............

receivers made catches they weren't...Oline was making blocks they haven't...2 new DBs playing only due to injury showed they belong...guys didn't quit on plays...that was the difference...a lot of the players who were crapped on with osh actually played well....and....it was 1 game....see this in 3 or 4 straight now. He still had some blank spots on the roster which make zero sense...It's not like he did anything different...he even said the process is the process. I'll give him credit tho where due...other than not throwing his flag on the blocking downfield penalty that was a load of crap...he didn't make any bone headed decisions. safety doesn't need to be a monster either..needs to be smart...have eyes to see things.... direct others...Look at Kelly...he's built like a 12 yr old, and always seems out of position or out leveraged...so basically shows he isn't seeing things right...or is slow as hell with his recogniotiton

Color me shocked, happy but still not sold....yet First off was nice to see Ears lose his **** multiple times again on the sidelines like Maas of old...we definitely made him pop...and his team sure takes on his personality, as a collective group they truly are a bunch of whiny yappy babies when things don't go well for them...If anything with our team when we are getting our butts handed to us, we never act like that Bringing the nasty back...Shades of 2019 to 2023 oline work and it made a difference. Again, we went into what Our identity should be with smash mouth play and how it opens up things for our receivers...Now don't keep going away from it in games unless it's taken away. It also allows our hogs to get in the zone immediately and dictate the tone...That's big...the last 2 weeks my observation is that Stan seems to be rounding into form. As mentioned in game thread I think his injury was hindering him and why he was consciously kicking out a bit early and looked old and slow on plays quick off the snap where he had to make a fast step....He was still good in the run but he did look compromised in certain blocking assignments But last night he was active and all over in the run game...the whole line was and we need to keep using all that oline movement...It worked well in Edm too until we went away from it. If he plays like this again next week then maybe the slagging he was getting here wasn't 100 percent justified...that being said I hope we have talked to him about this being his farewell season Kudos to Condell as well for that game plan...almost like he stole Mtl's to be honest, but that what we need to do game in and game out. Receivers actually played tough...made some tough grabs, and actually fought for YAC. Pokey needs to be used **** we used him ..lotsa horizontal routes and getting ball to him while he moving, as he is slippery and greasy and can slither his way through the slightest opening with speed. He's not the consistent vertical threat we can lean on...That I guess is a Demski role currently as we don't have a guy...and is what we really need. I think the 3rd Canadian WR experiment needs to end as Cobb offers absolutely nothing in that spot. If anything, use Clercius there and have him and Neild both show looks from inside and outside....If we refuse to add an import....That would still make us better, and Clercius is a guy teams will have to take note of. All he does is make catches, and actually will do something with the ball after the catch...and he was key in downfield blocking on several runs Encouraging to say the least tho....next week is the true litmus test. In that environment and hype if we do what we have done in the half of game in Edm and last night again...with a convincing win...look out...That's the make of a trend and a BB repeat we could be sending ourselves into a real run of wins as the confidence grows Vaval has to have earned that starting DB spot...it's almost changed how we play a bit back there...for the better and you can see he is legit good. Texada as well in his limited reps showed some real promise...Only time he was really noticed was when making a play...pretty good debut for a raw rookie vs the offensive juggernaut the Al's are reported to be. Let Nichols rest another week...let the youngsters (Williams/Vaval/Texada) run with it and make a decision for BB if Nichols is ready to go. But safety and Kelly needs to end...yesterday already...cant cover...poor tackling...soft. If kramdi is back is he better...Maybe a bit but he also isn't great. He's perfect for the role Kelly had before he went in at safety and would be a shame to sit one of the 3 aforementioned from the starting lineup...and you cant pull Smith off for him, and as much as Wilson and Jones get grief on here, Kramdi at WIL would be the worst possible decision. When ready yank Novack off for Kramdi and use him all over in the rotation...He does do well mucking it up in the box when we go 3 dlineman Speaking of yanking...Hazen needs to be..whats he offer?...whats he done to justify being on roster?...especially when Kramdi back...Nothing....and if we keep Vaval at Corner then Singer for Hazen makes a ton of sense, or if we just swap out Cobb for clercius and say no to another skilled player...Nichols as depth isn't a bad thing Dline has the talent to dominate games...tho a true Nose would be nice, but they are frustrating as they go in spurts...is it scheme and what we asking them to do...or is it just growing pains as we have essentially 3 rookies taking big time reps...none the less I really have no issues with that group for the most part...Some fine tuning scheme wise tho I think could really put em over the top! None the less like what I saw...actually not dreading the Labour Day game now...and curious to see if this was a turning the corner....or just a mirage of a game...we shall see shortly...The only bad part of the win is it will basically ensure zero changes...even tho a few could really set us off

seen that coming...get in his ear...get him here now
