He wouldn’t be holding the ball and trying to force it down field. Bingo. Brown is generally more cerebral as a qb as well. Zach is a force it down field gun slinger. He’s more susceptible to suffering from pressure on style alone. Browns release is quicker and he’s more efficient at reading the D.

It isn’t soon though, it’s a long time coming. Lost the last 5 games in a row including the gc and two gcs in a row. we aren’t. Not when we are healthy and we are miles from healthy. Biggie ba kyrie Thomas wouldn’t make atleast 7-8 other teams. Neuf lofton(riders didn’t bring back) kola Augustine rookie wr none of them would either. And then Zach is the worst rated passer in the league this year. The tipping point on football talent 30+ hits extremely fast and drops right off a cliff. That’s happened to us. Goose and suhk too.

Lmao that’s a great way to describe it. Same here.

put strev in with Collaros. First down, run the bread and butter inside zone option with an iso corner play side with dalton, strev on jet motion. 2nd down Demski at r, Motion him out, and strev in, early sweep motion for play action pump the play side then draw to strev weak side counter. 3rd down if it isn’t a goal line push, pa to Demski on jet motion starting pre Snap, then toss him a screen to the wide side. Get it out early and make a db try to keep him out. They could’ve traded Collaros for a tidy sum. No matter what happens with Zach, the only way giving up on brown works out is if brown ends up a bust. If he isn’t a bust we let him walk for a guy who is about to turn 36. The only higher failure rate than young qbs getting their first shot at starting is keeping qbs closer to 40 then 30.

Jameison? Nah. Cadawaller has been our best teams guy in both games. We gave up almost 14 yards per punt in return, the 47 he was punting wasn’t great by any means. He had one really good punt that’s it.

I get what you’re saying, but normally it isn’t hard to get tc guys back. They are looking at no football and a very slim chance of an nfl look next year.

With the hash mark change you always have windows to complete passes in the cfl now. If you throw as the wr breaks to the side line and lead them it can’t defended if executed properly. Qbs are up to 75% completion now. We aren’t running good schemes for sure, but we are running much of what we usually run. Yeah. Touch on the ball can become fickle with age and hand injuries. Khari lost it and that was his real trade mark skill.

It is, but it’s not the entire picture. Because he’s a 36 year old multi mop multi gc winning hof bound qb. Every game qbs deal with adversity. The job is to over come it especially when you are given a chance to succeed. The bounce back in game is every thing. That’s how the position works. If you need every thing to be ideal to succeed you aren’t a starter quality qb. That’s even just football. You can’t be broken to the point you can’t succeed when the defense doesn’t beat you. There are qbs that do that. Brown did it for us in the Edmonton game last year. Crumb did it to us. Fajardo has done it. Vaj either wins bc their games or loses them.

To me it’s either, lazy because he’s here, they liked him best and didn’t care about the tc/pr evaluation, he’s basically become an old boys type guy being around, or the other two guys especially rivers did not want to come back to sit on our pr. Not a lot of good causes. I can certainly see a combination of lazy local old boys club being a factor. I can also see a guy like rivers who was one of our best ends in pre season not being willing to come up and sit on the pr. Bunch of guys didn’t get a fair shake then with reps in game why would that change now? he has been in coverage when not blitzing, that’s why he’s less visible now. he’s talented no doubt. Rivers story and accomplishments are no less impressive. I mean we had a ton of highly accomplished front 6 guys in camp.

Love smith back hope he’s good to go. Really strange to cut him if he’s healthy already though. fayad is a strange pick. Why not rivers or even upshaw? Wasn’t fayad an early cut too? How do we not bring back rosery still lol. Yep fayad was hurt the first day of rookie camp and cut early but stayed around to rehab.

You’re right they would. But they wouldn’t struggle with making the right reads, would react by getting rid of it faster and wouldn’t be missing when they have protection or leave the pocket. No it wasn’t fine. His accuracy was terrible, he was tossing hospital balls that constantly knuckled. He was still under throwing when he had time, throwing behind and his touch was awful. If you fixed all the issues around him, you could win some games with him but he couldn’t carry to wins.

Losing the run game, Lawler, and having the worst pass pro in years should be the worst case scenario. But Zach also seems to not be able to escape, or make good decisions on the run any more. To an extent his struggles are the difference between the line being beaten consistently and the odd player making a play or a blitz coming through or the pass pro failing because of coverage. The big concern for me with Zach is his decision making is consistently bad as is his accuracy and touch. Even when he get time or it gets out quick.

Yeah we have. Edm could actually be a 500 team this year. We really need to win the next 3 in a row to go into LD at .500

The crumback was a huge crack in the glass. Another was the big upset loss in the regular season to the als to break the regular season streak. Just played flat and never adjusted.

If we don’t right the ship quick edm might be above us in the standings.

A lot of that is true for me too. 01 is the hardest, honestly though the last two are the next worst. We should be a true dynasty the likes of which you don’t see these days. Every one here is die hard compared to the fb troglodytes.

Been watching a car crash in slow motion saying it’s coming and being told LOL 14-4, 4 straight gcs! Now many of the same people are either saying they were in agreement all along or that the people who saw it coming hate the bombers. We win the next game they’ll say it was wrong all along, we lose it every one will claim to have been saying it all along. Never replacing stove, the massive shut down late in the year before the playoffs, using di on wrs for no snaps, some terrible pr use was a bunch of red flags.

Adam’s and woods are strong candidates along with a de, but we are married to Jake.

Agree I’m a big fan of the 30, especially up here. You gain tremendous versatility, and way better pressure options. The D is solid. If we’d get away from Thomas and biggie it’d be sick.

Yeeeep. But they might delay it. Adam’s is being used soo much as an end and we use the 30 front more than the 40. It’s not a bunch is the problem. Dobson is a mauler. Eli, wallace but he’s raw. Neuf is toast. We could put out a killer road grading interior if we wanted.

Couture really stung, but to be frank, ELI would be better if we actually started him. Desjarlais is one of my favorite linemen. Soo damn talented, nasty, and young. Money wise, I don't think you could keep the core of guys like schoen BO etc with that fat contract. Ideally, I would have kept desjarlais and built around him. Losing brown is worse imo. We can find canadian guards. Finding qbs like that is damn hard. He's making like 270k a year, as a guard. You just can't make that work long term. I'd a paid 200-maybe 225. But damn near 300k for a guard? Nah. Not even him.

Wallace flashed really well in the first pre season game, idk if he’s ready or not. Certainly wouldn’t be the worst ol or rookie ol forced into action. I’d be ok if we stuck Vanterpool at guard even. Ol needs shaking up that’s for sure.

Nailed it.

I think that was a big step backwards moment for him for sure. I think the gc loss to the argos started it

Grasping at straws cus youre reeling from us being on the wrong side of a turn around. The least upset person in the blue n gold world about all of this seems to be mos.
