The entire week will be focused on Zachs ankle but he sounded quite confident it won't be a factor for next Sunday. Know of any other bodies we may have back?Houston? How do we match up vs Toronto?

It is almost like they don’t want to say one way or another.

Collaros will play...... fully spatted up. But Brown will be ready just in case, and I, too, believe we can win with a Brown/Prukop combo if need be. But Collaros will at least START the game, with that right foot taped to the knee.

doesn't matter how much rider fans dislike the BB, you cant manufacture and sustain any decent amount of crowd noise unless your own team is playing.

Any Grey Cup crowds I age experienced are always relatively mute unless home team is in it. This one won’t be an exception.

That’s what I meant.

You may care the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes but even then not really 

I wish I had the confidence that some of the other posters have here... Things are not looking great for Zach starting

Apparently 2019 was pretty one-sided 

Clearly DNP is code for "Drew 'N Prukop". You guys aren't reading the signs!!!

I bet you do hear tho actual cheering and crowd type noise...real noise as opposed to that droning sound u hear at Rider games...doesnt sound natural at all and almost manufactured...also never trails off..or revs up like a normal crowd

I watched the piece with our guys and I don't see anything from them that indicates that they know Zac is not going to play. Sanchez of course is saying its serious and doom and gloom that Zac didn't practice. Matty of course says no big deal. I'm worried but thats my default as a fan.

The players are probably having a great time with it...and making everyone wonder...par for the course.

He wouldn't have been walking around as he was if it was ultra serious...the more rest...the better

Zach's going to play. He doesn't need to practice so they're giving the ankle some more time to heal. That's a good way to manage this injury.

Most of the time I say"DNP" when I wake up in the morning,it stands for "Did not pee".

If that’s what it stands for then A.C Leonard should be listed as DNP on every injury report.

I have no doubt collaros will play. At the same time he doesn’t need any reps this week to be ready. Getting brown all the prep possible makes sense. 
 Not only that the best thing for collaros right now is to be doing any thing physical under the watchful eye of our training staff. 
 He will get a couple shots before the game and judging by his walking off the plane be fine on game day. 
 

honestly I think prukop running the option offense could beat the argos too.

I still feel he's going to start. There's not been a walking boot, and they are playing a will he, won't he game. It might end up being painful for him, but once the needle is in and adrenaline is pumping, he'll be fine. Only an idiot would let him practice this week at all. Why risk reaggrivation? I don't know why anyone would expect it today.

Can you imagine being a young Argonauts receiver and having to ask Brandon Banks how to keep your composure in big games?

Look up to banks, or mbt lol. The culture of the argos is not significantly better than that of the riders last year. That team is only one bad break away from imploding and sinking it self.

Dinwiddie wins games in a weak division but he can't control his players. Way overrated. He'd be a 4-14 coach in the better West Division.

Dirty Sanchez is a wannabe “analyst” and comes across as a guy who does not have his head screwed on straight. He can be fired and replaced with BLM any day now!

I love that we practiced on some random field and they practiced at the Toilet Bowl. 

Not just any field. Apparently Liebel field is a premier minor football facility. Brand new turf installed this year, video screen and score board from Taylor Field. Interview I heard today suggested it would rival some of the major US high school stadiums.

I did not get that impression at all. I guess your handle says it all.

I’m watching the 2021 game. We were down by 12 with 11 minutes left and Collaros was cool and collective. What a surgeon.
