    We killed them our week 1 then played them again. Back to back is tough in any sport to win both.

    I don't know how long it was, but winning a game on a call like that is not great, no matter what other circumstances may exist.

    As long as I can remember, if O'Shea feels there is any advantage to taking the wind he will take it given the chance. The fact that almost all the points in the game were scored going to the south end zone makes me think there was some advantage there.

    MCI scored a beautiful TD last game that was called back on a penalty. 
    I can totally see his role expanded.

    The guy is controversial in the traditional sense for sure. He does seem to know the X’s and O’s of the game and is as good as anyone out there rationalizing them. Us older generation May think he comes off as an asshat for his comments on what is bringing the game down , but just maybe this is what it needs to get the new generation more involved, I don’t know only time will tell. I get super annoyed when he talks of the major differences in the CFL as opposed to the NFL. Might there be something in it though that us old guys are missing and to get more youth to start following CFL the league might have to consider some radical changes!

    Yeah he's (seemingly) trying to be an edgy american style commentor. His takes aren't ground breaking at all and it seems to be getting some traction in terms of engagement online.

    I think it's a calculated move by TSN/CFL. We'll see how it pays off.

    You don't really need to spy him if you're not bringing pressure. Send 3, make him find the open rec downfield.

    You need adequate time to hit the routes that are called.  So if they are trying to take vertical shots and want that to be a large part of the offense, they need to be able to protect so their QB can make the read (some of that pre-snap for sure) and have time/space to make that throw.  That was not there on the majority of drops last night.  You think the fastest guy in the league running at full sprint is taking 4 and a half seconds to get 40 yards downfield so you need 3+ seconds really if you're taking vertical shots and expecting to hit them.
    Something probably a lot of people don't consider is the space in the pocket....like it's as impactful to the QB (and to some extent the RB) if one of the OL is getting driven into him as if a defender is loose.  Forces QB to bring eyes down and navigate pocket more than read downfield or be able to set feet to throw.  Huge effect on ability to go vertical with a pass.  Pocket for a straight drop is basically the mouth on a sad face emoji.  Any deviation from that can be a problem for the QB's ability to get that ball out on time, accurately.
    Does Collaros force the vertical stuff?  Absofuckinglutely.  It's been his style forever.  He's your guy, you've gotta be building the offense around that.  I'm not a fan of that "switch" (that's what we call it, basically inside slot crosses safety face on vertical through the middle) GO route to Demski.  He's gotta be wide open to catch that even if that's a perfect ball.  Hate that we're calling plays that rely on a defensive breakdown.  I don't know if Schoen is struggling physically, but we sure aren't seeing him go vertical a ton.  And other than Wheatfall/Schoen we're not brimming with catch radius guys which is always who Collaros has success with.
    IMO...OL yesterday was about a 4/10.  Not a total disaster like games against Toronto last year, but if that's the level they played 18 games at you'd be a sub-.500 team.  D basically score 10 points last night, O had 3 scoring drives.  Nowhere near good enough.  Way too much pressure, not moving anyone at the line, not creating those creases for the backs in zone to make their cut and hit a seam with speed.  Overall if you want to boil it down, they got bodied on more plays than not.  BC had almost all their guys and they came out with a bit more fire on the DL, and once they got going things snowballed physically for our OL. 
    Week 1 they were about a 8/10.  Amazing opening vertical gaps for the RB's, and basically no pressures allowed at all on dropbacks, physically dominant.  Only time you saw anyone on BC's DL was on rollouts.  First half some struggles but mostly on QB/receivers getting in rhythm.  Run game was dominant from start to finish and that's all physicality from OL because the back is all slash...hit the mark in zone, make the cut, hit the crease.  Crease isn't there, Peterson isn't making something from nothing like Oliveira might to grab 5-6 yards.

    Hi guys, just wanted to let you all know I’ve started to post condensed CFL games that show every play in 40-50 minutes. Mainly for fans that want to watch/rewatch the game in a faster manner, but still want to see every play. 
    I’m hoping to do all Bomber games this season + some other CFL games. Let me know how I can make the videos better, feedback is much appreciated. Enjoy and Go Blue!

    While I do not disagree with your assessment, I take umbrage with the idea that the GM should decide who does or does not play. If the HC does not have the final sayso, then he is a puppet.

    Keys to the game 
     keep the ol play level up. Vanterpool out and paddy a little knicked, our ol needs to keep growing and improving can’t step back now. 
     
    Old zach back. He looked a lot better in pre season/camp than much of last year, need to see peak Zach this year and a good start will go a long way. 
     
    Limit the big plays. Last week B.C. dug out from the verge of a blow out with big plays. 
     
    players to watch Cooley/Peterson, vaval, bridges, Parker, zach, Wallace.

    I'd rather not mess with an oline that played so well. Rather keep my oline intact and lose a back up defensive player who mainly plays teams.

    Or Sterns.
    Having Sterns out there instead of Corcoran/Cobb isn’t going to make a lick of difference if we aren’t dominating up front.  Dominating, not just trying to survive.  Vanterpool is a significant difference maker.

    That might be why white was cut. Zach back means artopoius goes to the PR.
     I like wallace and I want to see him develop. But man sucks to take vanterpool out. Id rather flip kyrie/wil or throw cobb in for sterns.  
    You're right that they might still change their fortunes. But to date, they haven't done what was expected. Considering the money we gave the 3 guys, as vets who have succeeded in this league, being at best replacement level with rookie wrs is deeply underperforming. 
     Id really like to see mitchell step up, and I like sterns effort also his play in the sweep. But neither guy is starter level at this point. They are just thrust into that position because none of them have stepped up.

    I don’t mean the actual stadium. I mean the pressure he was under here and the whole no one could kick any damn ball back then for us. 
     Kickers are really strange animals. Once they get the yips it’s hard to break. Medlock was lowkey famous in the nfl for being a kicker like that. Up here one of the best to ever do it.

    HH to Hogan who had a team put up 34 points and 450 yards without Zach and Brady. How many OCs have a team do that without their starting QB and RB?

    This game showed me why I'm glad Buck Pierce is the hell & gone as OC. Stev's best game of his pro career. He showed he can play qb. Changed up his fundamentals this off season. He showed that if you give him the entire playbook & not just make him a one dimensional raging ground warrior or gimmicky qb he can make the throws. For that we can thank LaPo & his protege Buck Pierce. Lapo had at least a bit of imagination with Streveler in 2018 & 19. He actually used him the best at the time considering back then his limitations as an actual qb plus his inability to read a CFL defense. Pierce OTOH was just sadistic expecting him to go out there & take the punishment that he did. 
    I'm excited for Jarious Jackson as his position coach.
