3 stars plus hh pre season part deux

1 Adams. Beast mode inside. Best dt play since stove

2 rivers/upshaw. Both played well, Upshaw looks like he could be a game changer in time. 

3 smith with a huge kr td nice save on a bad hand off turned into yards and a good block 

hh mastro with the flubbed punt for the big gain. The biggest of our pre season. 

All the lbers looked good again. Tre Thomas ayers and petrishen especially. D-ford and fuller looked good too.

The tradition of weird roster and training camp decisions has me worried for this season, I'm not gonna lie. The cuts will be telling.

We are collectively SHOCKED at this take from you....

Smith. Bridges. Petrishian. Adams. Rivers were all solid. Johnson seemed good on O. Mitchell was flapping his gums after a 2 yd gain. 
 

Wilson regressed. 

like D ford and Fuller also. Upshaw also very good. The O guys, really hard to tell.

1. The interior DL. Just what we all wanted to see.
2/3 Tre Thomas and Demetrius Ford making plays stood out the most in the front 7 and secondary respectively.

HH- DT and DB. After listening to that shitty Sask feed last game I’m extra grateful for those two. 

Somewhat frustrating as a fan going to a home game and being presented with the 3rd string team as the starters. I'll start with that. But we kind of knew that going in. Calgary was still running Peyton Logan at the end of the game. So good for you Calgary. You won 😂. O'Shea says he doesn't like to lose, but just like the first preseason game, there was almost zero chance of winning given the roster. 

We tried running the ball but not with a lot of success. Our o-line was not opening up much. They were almost as bad in pass pro. Wilson didn't have much of chance tonight. Sure he hopped a couple but to me it didn't look like he had a lot of opportunity to make plays. Offensively we were offensive top to bottom. But again, we had almost nothing to work with.

Defensively there was a lot to like. Adams, Gemmel, Fuller stood out to me. Jake Kelly was pretty good for the time he was in there. Not sure about Demetrius Ford. Seems like you guys were seeing something but to me always ended up not making the plays. Bill Hackett stood out to me as a very speedy guy, not that he was great either. Tre Thomas, not sure if he has the ability to play SAM. I don't think he's big enough to play the more traditional LB spots

Overall there's a lot to be excited about with the team going into the season. Offensively this team was going to be good. Basically one receiver spot to fill and that's it.

Defensively we had a bit more uncertainty and spots to fill. We now have so many options there for LB and DT/DE. The CB spot is the only one that I'm not confident in. We got burnt a tonne at that position.

Special teams you can imagine there will be some improvement by going with some younger guys that can run. Chris Smith with a 109 yard return. Let's go.

I’m just gonna say Moses because I didn’t actually watch much of that dumpster fire but I’m still cheering for my pick 

Not to derail things but why on earth did Maeir play as much as he did for CAL?

1 quarter?

Nice job, got the 3 stars down from last weeks 9 to 4. Tough decisions for week one when I expect a true three stars

hey, it's preseason on MBB too!  It's appropriate that the rosters are a little wacky...

You need some lowered expectations. Probably going to be about 17 people if we win.

Low expectations? Do you think I'm a riders fan?
