Why wasn't BC running a hurry up O or at least a quicker huddle? No urgency.

Its your imagination.

Betts has been chirping Strev all game.

Holding is not called like it use to be, hence sacks are down starting from last year. Advantage O.

Well that was a waste of turnover. Time for a two and out again please and thank you.

That convert felt doomed from the get go.

Their O adjusted to free him up better.

No better angle available on that Hatcher catch?

And there we have it.

1st downs in succession needed please and thank you.

Hard no.

I think Barker has been mentoring him.

No chemistry.

Why is everyone yelling their thoughts on the panel? jeebus.

Wasn’t he out of position though, ie needed to be on the inside hip of the receiver not outside?

I think that biggest issue for debate is not whether he was hurt or not, but what does it take for MOS to pull a starter whom he has great respect and admiration for if things are working well for that athlete on the field over a extended period of time?

And for arguments sake even if everyone on staff agreed they had a capable QB2 to come in ready to go it really felt that the only way MOS would bring in another QB would be that Zach 100% physically couldn't go, i.e., I'm sticking with Zach no matter what unless he gets carted off. Dedication to the athlete versus other viable options. Tricky balancing act.

Yes, yes they are.

I’ll never understand these type of posts. The majority of us are just shooting the **** offering up a variety of opinions on the great, the good and the bad of certain aspects of the BB. Its where we come to escape and play gm/coach/consultant. And my opinion with lots of in-depth analysis behind it is BC sucks.

Well nothing to see here. What were we thinking? You heard the man, shut everything down, no need to discuss anything on a discussion board.

Was it while he was holding up his phone saying 'seeeeeee' showing everyone his screen that Rourke received CFL week 1 top offensive player?

Shocking.

I'm trying correlate this analogy to how he contributes on and off the football field and what I've come up with is this analogy (probably) fits way better with his off field contributions than it does to his on-field contributions. It's a tough gig being a professional head coach I get it but when he is on the field providing no push up the middle taking snaps away from others do these off field contributions cancel that out? Apparently MOS says yes, he's earned it.

Technically professional trainers/medical professionals are trained in concussion tests/protocols and based on the results (even if an athlete is lying) can detect concussion severity/impact on athlete. I think its more the varying thresholds teams employ in holding back an athlete unfortunately. Great example would be the current NHL playoffs. How many players are/were playing concussed? Professional Sport is a business that can be ruthless on a players health.

I don't know why you keep saying/writing this, no one is saying talent dictates everything. When it comes to a strong culture, everyone, from bottom up top down share a responsibility in building a strong culture with leadership leading the way. Anyone who knows anything about high performing organizations know this. Where we're getting into this debate is your use of the word balance. Finding that sweet spot is an art more than it is a science. You're right, none of us here have the intimate view in our football team so all of us, including you, are speculating on why players like JT is still an active player on this team. That's what makes these types of conversations engaging with different viewpoints offered up.
