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.

I don’t think you can add another guy on D at expense of O. We basically have 3 backups on O.
It’s more Vanterpool vs Cooley vs Mitchell for that spot.
If they wanted to change/add on DL they’d be sitting Ayres or changing up LB’s.
I’m not sure Cooley has shown enough to warrant a 3rd RB on the roster.

In watching the game, I was impressed by the velocity, and range and of most of the passes Bethel-Thompson and Mitchell threw. A real contrast to many of Collaros' throws.
That’s why MBT has had a million pro chances with varying success. He’s big and tall and throws a nice ball.

So this week Brown, Kelly, Harris, Alexander and maybe Rourke are all out. That's 5/9 starting QBs in the league.

If Wheatfall came back, he didn't make a catch after his crash, but also didn't notice Corcoran on offence at all other than in a short yardage blocking role.
Pretty sure he was out there again.

Lots to learn from that game. Edmonton exposed our coverages by running switch routes where guys cross and go vertical to other side of field they started from.
Our HB's and Safety made really bad reads on what route they needed to prioritize on some of those plays and Edmonton hit/almost hit several big plays off those. Nichols kind of got lost on the TD and jumped eligible OL...but really who cares about that guy at midfield, not a threat, while Bridges stayed with his guy across the field and the other wideout got passed off twice, third time (when he turned vertical) to no one because Nichols was out in the flat on a OL. Then he was running by himself to the endzone with the ball.
You know it's a bad bust when a guy is running completely free on a play from the minus side of midfield because our coverages hugely prioritize sitting on vertical routes basically until they cross the 30.
But the games are so long, have 4-5 negative plays are going to happen. You want to be able to get those back with turnovers and sacks.
Seeing that big bust live from up top in the stadium was something else. I don't think a receiver could ever be more open than that. He was 30 yards away from any DB.

Holm's feet did not make contact with the receiver at all. Not whatsoever.
Anyone have a video? Was at the game and couldn't tell for sure on the big screen.
I can't find anywhere, not in the highlight packages.
I'm going by what Holm said https://3downnation.com/2025/06/26/12-thoughts-on-the-winnipeg-blue-bombers-improving-to-3-0-with-win-over-edmonton-elks/
“In this league, if he falls, it’s probably a penalty, so that’s what we err on the side of,” said Holm. “If a defensive player falls, it’s nothing. When an offensive player falls, it’s (pass interference). I didn’t really need to even be near him a little bit — I could have played the ball later, so I could be maybe a yard off. It’s how this league is, so I gotta know that.”
Incidental pass interference is most often called when a receiver is accidentally tripped by a defensive back. Watching the replay back, it didn’t look like Holm made any contact with Julien-Grant’s lower body — the receiver appeared to trip over his own feet.
“I don’t know that you can win that one (if you challenge the call),” said head coach Mike O’Shea. “I don’t think Evan Holm even touched him. Evan says he didn’t really touch him, but he also said, ‘We’re not winning that challenge, coach.’ He liked that we didn’t (challenge). Evan’s so good and so clean in his coverage, I don’t know that he touched him. It looked like the receiver might have tripped himself, like stubbed his toe. Evan had his hand out, but I don’t think he pushed him.”

never know...but it was obvious Holm had nothing to do with it.....they overturned the Bonds one which was the right call BTW...but a way tougher call to over rule
Never know but they would have had to say definitively that Holm's feet hadn't touched the receivers. I haven't seen that angle that shows that but maybe I missed it.

The Bonds INT...That was a good call...he had help from the ground...a good play tho and forced a punt but we didnt get jobbed there...the PI on on Holm was straight crap tho...and Osh needs to challenge that....he is weak and slow onthe challenges...often
I don't think it would have been overturned. They call accidental PI on any DB that breathes on a receiver as they fall down. The receiver can trip the DB and then shove them down but the way they call it the DB can't do anything.

Play the better guys first and use the other guys as the ir insurance stash?

Jon Jones is getting full pay to sit on the 1 game IR since June 11th, extended June 20th. He's not the only one, it appears they intend to abuse the hell out of it this season with that extra cash they did not spend.
I'd love for some of these guys to get on the roster but I don't hate the plan. We're going to have some injuries and these guys will play.

ZC has picked up a bad habit of when getting panicked or pressure starts to get a lil chaotic of just chucking it.....and not away but into trouble....and or for picks
And seeing as he is reluctant to run....and reams know it they put the pressure on. He used to able to navigate the pocket more and buy time without running, but last 2 yrs he has seemed to have lost that knack..
Ya he definitely looks more panicked than he used to. Oline got worse in the middle the last few years and that led to less of a pocket to step up into. Too much getting pushed back into his face. Add to that ZCs age and there’s a decline.
He can still move around and throw on the run. That first TD to Schoen was a beauty on the move.
Hope the new OC and JJ can take advantage of the things ZC can still do well.

Someone should ask O'Shea why he took the 10 yards after the BC TD on the kickoff instead of the convert.
Make them go for 2 from the 12 or kick 42 yards for PAT. Who gives a **** about 10 yards on an onside kick? Worry about the play that counts for points.
They were still up by 2 touchdowns, so I guess to make the next TD a little harder if they got the onside kick.
Why did they even go for 2? Down 13 or 14 with a minute to go doesn’t really matter

I honestly don’t understand Weitz over Bailey at all, I don’t understand how that makes any level of sense
I don't get it either. Maybe Bailey is taking a bit of time to understand where he needs to be and what he needs to do and doesn't have their trust yet? He is fresh out of school.

Yes, however it's 3 years in a row of the offense being poor so maaaayyybeeeee it was a bomber O problem moreso than what the other D was doing.
I think it's both. Bomber O sucked and also they have played hot defenses.

As I said previously... arbuckle didn't do ****, our offense just did much much worse.
Flip side is that the Argo D went out and won the game for them. Our D did not.
