On a positive note for bombers, it does seem like every defence in the league is terrible this year

Is Kian Schafer-Baker the most insufferable & unlikeable receiver in the CFL? The constant posing after a catch. Lying on the ground & pretending to chill should have been a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. He just looks like & acts like a fool.

The D was bowling shoe ugly last night and I'm with a lot of the other people saying Younger has just gotten way too cute. It's like he decided at some point that the chess match part of football is the only part - at some point, you have to just let these guys go out and play ball rather than trying so hard to confuse the other team that you confuse yourself.
One thing I did notice is that Jenkins (so far) appears to be yet another guy in the long line of "seniority" awards. Reese and Dixon (in limited action) have both looked more noticeable. We really need some impact playmaking linebackers, the ones we have are just there existing, but they don't really bring a whole lot to the table and let's be honest, if their veteran leadership and awareness is leaving them just as confused as every other player on the field then at least get some young hungry guy who is gonna rip a guy's head off instead of whiffing on every tackle (looking at you Kyrie Wilson)
Final comment on the D - either our man coverage cushion is by design absolutely WAY too soft, Deatrick Nichols is 100% cooked or maybe both.
As for the offense, no complaints whatsoever. Collaros looking like he turned the clock back a few years. Nield looks like a gamer and I'll go ahead and say he's probably our number 1 Canadian receiver at this point ... I'm fine with those four guys and Cobb if that's how they can all play. Who cares about a productive fifth receiver? Hamilton's fifth receiver yesterday was Tyler Ternowski. Not the most important spot. I'm impressed by Condell so far.

The PI/non-PI calls in this game were a huge turning point.
Even with no D, Castillo makes his kicks and the refs don't smoke crack pre-game and it's basically a tied game.

Key to game...Ratchet up that dline pressure and use the piss outta all the guys available and wear down the Cats oline and keep hitting BLM...do that and they will fold and we cruise
And Use BO to tenderize the defence and the shots for ZC will open right up...And involve the big horses MCI and Daniels...lets see why we drafted him in the opener

Just read that Kolo isn't starting for Ham. It was a beautiful dream we had to watch New Jake line up against him.
Unfortunately this means we will see Kelly on D

I think you will see Kelly. They've used him pretty consistently the past two seasons when he's healthy when we go into dime sets.
I don't understand why we aren't using Vaval in there for that role.

Reese on for Woodbey
Fletcher on for Dixon
Bouliane on for Smith
Vibert wasn't on the position chart last week.
No one on reserve this week

Looks like no one is on the reserve this week. https://static.cfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/HAMILTON-AT-WINNIPEG_JUNE-11.pdf

Pleasantly surprised we added a seventh dlineman. Excited to see what Reese can do.

About the biggest concern with that roster is, will Vaval be the dime? If it's going to be a Canadian, that will spell trouble and quick. Bouliane is less of a sam than Shay. I'm sure if someone is needed at that spot, it won't be him.
7 DL is an improvement. 2 dis at DL? Some one pinch me I must be dreaming! Its a group full of guys who can get after it too, and Gatkuoth. Im really interested to see what Reese would do with better surroundings and more reps. Even if he is a bit wild, it might be beneficial to have a DL with some edge for once.
