Said this last year, when we still had a winning record... this year, we don't.

 

Team is flailing, D and O are about to split in the locker room

 

ST still has same problems - Pat Tracey not cutting it, our ST 'captain' Pontbriand stills takes penalties

Everyone trying to make the play on their own... this falls on Tracey

 

Brohm - this falls on Walters, other teams have found good depth - Walters and crew are still 'test driving' QBs...  Davis is not the answer, Russell wasn't, we traded for Portis...  Nichols?  I had success on TSN Fantasy because I picked Ds playing against Nichols early this season...

 

Defence - decent, but teams know that they will tire and then just let the OL/RB take over in the fourth

 

Hurl - I haven't seen the progress, still over-commits, still misses reads...

 

we give Simmons one play and he makes an impact - so instead we start Shell when Randle goes down

 

Penalties - this is coaching, its basically the main thing coaches can control

 

Bellefuile - nothing left to say...  Chap has a young gunslinger with Smith and changed his gameplay... MB has the same and decides to make Marve into a pocket passer.  Nuff said.

 

Oshea - I desperately want to cheer for him.  But that last timeout was embarrassing.  Get in the fkn game.  Dyce has ten times more poise in his first game.

 

Luckily, this is probably the last game I can watch live for the season... can guarantee that I won't spend three hours on youtube for any of the rest, maybe skim through a few but I doubt it

 

Garbage.  On par with Burke, Kelly and Daley... just garbage.

 

This team is in free fall.  We might win one more game.

 

 

 

Simmons backs up Bass at WIL and Hurl at MAC.  Randle's the SAM, basically a DB.  Shell's his backup.

 

 

Bass-Simmons-Hurl were on the field earlier...  either way, Shell is not the answer.  I'd take Unamba right now.

 

 

With Randle.  They ran the odd 30 front with 3 linebackers.  None of those guys can cover a receiver.  The front 7 is basically the front 6, and that's universal in the Canadian game.

 

Unamba can't cover anything and takes stupid penalties.  The only game he played significant snaps for the Riders he took 3 IC penalties.  He's terrible.  Not sure why people get fixated on terrible players.

 

 

I know exactly what Unamba is... not fixated at all but the problem is we replaced him with Shell, who's just not that good any more.

 

If Randle is down, do we plug in Posey or Kearney?  Move Leggett?

Leggett to SAM and Sherman to Safety might not be the worst option.  Sherman looked pretty good at safety in the preseason.  

We could start another international on defence in place of Randal, 2 in fact.

Posey or Kearney will probably come on.  How they will align the secondary we'll have to see.  Kearney, Leggett and Washington would be the guys who might play SAM.

guess we find out this week now that randle is hurt.. im thinking teague gets in at SAM or moe goes to SAM with sherm at safety..
