Once things get to the point where old Guys are long in the tooth and short on performance either the nice guy has to be put away or things will get much worse quickly. That made don Mathew’s career. Easy weeks as long as you win. Underperform and the don shows up and kicks some ass. I would have the team in for as much practice and film as the cba allows this week. And I would have the vets in pads and on the side line. Make them watch while young guys take their spot. One vet I’d cut right now, three Id bench for sure vs edm no matter how the young guys practice. One young guy I’d send to the pr and another vet or two would be in real risk of going home. Which is fine. If some one else will be the bad cop. Miller or walters should walk into that locker room tear some guys new ass holes.

The O didn't pick up the team at all. And like you said that's where the money is. Like drive to the 45 yard line once and let Castillo kick for 3 anytime in a quarter and a half --> GAME OVER Both units needed to do more. They didn't. So, we're arguing semantics. Piss poor effort all around.

rebusrankin Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 1. I hope we see an OL change this week, be it Eli for Kolo or Dobson for Neufeld or both. 2. Why the heck are you using Briggs if Clements is hurt? Play Cole and if he can't contribute on D, replace him. 3. Why was Anthony Bennett is so much? I could contribute as much and I'm 46. 4.

Zero yards running 1st half. & 94 yards rushing in the second half. Still, we needed just one stop defensively & we'd have won. We didn't get it. Nah, defense was stellar. So, we have issues on both sides of the ball. Ottawa won their Grey Cup today. They got 2 stops on 3rd downs. The O put up zero points after them. wbbfan and deepsixemtoboyd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuranBoldenRules Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Jeffcoat was strong end, Walker nose, Thomas 3 tec, Jefferson weak Jeffcoat really struggled vs the running QB. Great to drive up field but huge gap left behind. Especially when we rush 4 and B gap is wide open to start with.

JuranBoldenRules Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 For the sake of sanity I kind of hope Haba is injured. Nuts. Even if you're selling out for pressure, Briggs is out there every down so Thomas doesn't need to be. We don't have our best guys on the field. rebusrankin, BigBlueFanatic and wbbfan 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Shack Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 1 hour ago, JuranBoldenRules said: I didn't have issues with scheme on D. Kind of half rewatching now. Such poor execution, just sloppy really. I'm up over a dozen missed tackles on Crum behind the line of scrimmage and that's not even including all the times the ends overrun the pocket. Ends just bolting straight up field leaving huge gaps for Crum. As the guy gained confidence he sees more and more of the opportunities to move around. Keep that guy in the pocket, keep VAJ in the pocket, no chance they can beat anyone. Yeah it might take you 5 seconds to get a sack instead of 2, but you give those guys no chance to do anything because they won't be beating anyone from the pocket with their arm. You are a brave soul to rewatch this one wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade for kongbo and have him rotate with Lawson as the ni. Jake is past it. Kola never had it. Neuf is past it. We got some other long in the tooth vets too but not as bad. Bennett should sit pr till next tc. He needs a big step forward to be a cfl player. What’s really sick is this team has been punched in the mouth hard twice in 6 games and folded up like a cheap lawn chair in a hurricane. Just like the grey cup. I could be fine with us just being old and stores bare after the run. But for a team this talented to be this flat, fat, lazy, and sassy is a piss off.

SpeedFlex27 Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Maybe we need to change our perspective. I pvr'd the Rider game & just saw harris go down. At least we still have Zach & as long as do we have a chance to win the Grey Cup.

Slimy Sculpin Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Thankfully it's a long season so I'm hoping that adjustments can be made. The Stamps knocking off the Green Guys was all right, too. (I only watched the fourth quarter of that one and, it was exciting.) Both results were good for the league in general and hopefully there were a few American eyes watching on whatever network carries the games (CBS Sports?). From the conversation above and previous, it seems to me that the Bombers' Canuck talent in certain positions is a little less than ideal....interior of both lines and at LB. I did see Neufeld get beaten badly a few times; I've never been sold on Gray; and I've read on this forum that some think that our current C isn't all that great. As for Canadian LBs, Briggs and Gauthier (is he injured?) are way too slow. Perhaps, they're good STers but I used to cringe whenever they came in on D, Gauthier in particular. Still plenty of season to go. Aside from Edmonton (Can Jones fire himself....please), the West should be very entertaining this year. Go Blue Go!
