And maybe no one in the pipe line, ford about it. coaches run the roster in virtually every league and level. Walters and the front office are always working on scouting and recruiting.

I don’t think it’s possible for mos to have or lose the locker room. He doesn’t go in it at all and leaves it to the vets. The question is does mos’ vets have the locker room. Clearly I don’t think they have the high level of responsibility and extreme ownership that they had previously. That does reflect poorly on mos though I don’t think he eats blame for it.

Same. The tc cuts too. Probably this. Tbh idc if it’s ignorance apathy stupidity complacency or w/e else. Figure out why the tire went flat after you fix it, and prevent it from re occurring. But first just fix it. Pr expands. At the end of the season the guys on the pr revert to free agency. If we assume every player cut in the last two years is indeed worse than the players we’ve kept, by means of character or who knows what, we are still left with a fundamentally flawed roster with no nose tackle, a group of small undersized dts where one Canadian starter is beyond done, no depth guys who can cover WRs, and no run stoppers. We don’t even have an extra ni teams guy, or holder. We still have an American fb who can’t cover catch run or play d. We have no guys to plug in if an imp db goes down, if an imp wr or Brady goes down we rely on gmc and guys who haven’t played. If Sergio gets hurt we have no options. We didn’t sign any nfl guys, or make any trades to address it either. If I had to guess, I’d say we suffer from a disconnect between what mos views as roster needs and what walters views as roster needs. mos doesn’t give af about rookies once the season begins. Guys aren’t drawing in unless we have no option. He over values intangibles over every thing else. I think he’d rather lose with guys he likes than win with guys he doesn’t. Schmuckle alone disproves the notion that we are cutting guys who don’t belong.

Vaj hasn’t complete 30 passes once this year he has 4 games with 1td or less. 5 game with as many picks as tds including the big ol 6 pick game. Of his 3 best performances 1 game was a loss and another was a near collapse. 4 games under 300 passing. And they didn’t miss a beat with out him winning both games by a combined 47-9. He’s been sacked 30 times this year. Zach also hasn’t completed 39 passes in a game. He has 3 games with 1 td or less. He has 4 games with as many picks as ints. Including the pick 6 games. Zach has 8 games under 300 this year. And we also failed ok with our Zach. Zach has been sacked 24 times kelly hasn’t completed more than 23 passes this year. He has 7 games with 1 td or less. He has 6 games with as many picks as tds. He has 9 games under 300. Though he does have 8 rushing tds. Kelly has been sacked 9 times this year. if you swapped vaj and Kelly, both teams would have the same record. If you swapped collaros onto tor or bc, they would at worst be as good. Toronto I think would be much better. Vaj on the bombers would be comparable, Kelly I think would be screwed. None of these guys are markedly better, or deserving of a mop award. The real mop is Brady or defence

What a stupid ass group to cut. Why did schmitz stay soo long? wtf with cutting burtenshaw deng swaray and Agudosi? Machino and Schmekel stay? Over those guys? Our roster management is cancer, and the culture of the team is no longer enough to over come it. Hands down would’ve been more valuable as a di on teams play alone than Parker was or Jackson entirely. We don’t need an imp wr, and it doesn’t make sense to have a 30 yo rookie back up on the pr, but his tool kit on teams could’ve over come that. And if that’s the case cut him 10 weeks ago.

Won’t hurt for sure. But we need better play calls that don’t get away from the run, target guys like lawler, etc.

We’ve been able to put drives together for the most part but we’ve had uncharacteristic struggles to score tds in the red zone when we need it.

Jackson isn’t even pr worthy but hes played how many games? Haha I’d actually laugh soo hard if they nominated him. cflpa all star too! At this point I’d be surprised if we saw more than one guy added to the pr before the play offs now. We have many of the pieces on hand to fix our roster (or fox it) though I can’t imagine that walters is happy not assign any thing.

If we can’t break tendencies to win this game we aren’t championship material. I am concerned that we’ve gone soft and long in the tooth. Guess we will see. I wouldn’t kick it to him either. Im going to be watching the amount of shifts and motion plays we use on offence. Especially now with grant back who we throw in the package every soo often, and Demski on the verge of his first 1k season. We used a bunch of play action wr screens last week to keep the intermediate pass game going. It’s been great in the past for us too, but when we lean on it too much we see picks. Motion really helps keep the D from jumping route trees and opens those screens up for big plays.

100 over an average returner. Over what we e seen since he’s been out? Soo much more. Not only is he dangerous af he’s soo smart and runs tough. Love that guy

awe maybe he likes dirty deeds done dirt cheap. Or Simoni Lawrence. Or any rough rider in the modern era.

Agree. It’s a huge risk not to have a real cover db as a back up. Last thing we need to see a guy like Hallett in cover on a wr regularly. Need more ni dhb/cbs less safeties/teams. Jackson needs to be off soo bad it’s not even funny. I don’t have much hope that we will make good roster decisions. But it’ll be fantastic to get grant back. We’ve been getting butchered in field position exchanges.

Is the half time show more run by the league or the team? If doman is the main guy you can bet it’ll be the biggest show in a decade. Agree totally that they are past due for some hip hop and while I don’t listen to drake hed be a gigantic get for the league.

With our lack of a nose, our run fits are stretched thin. Lber in A gap, db with ot reaps inability and possibly getting blocked by a wr. Any team that runs option modestly well easily steals one gap back, a good zone or read can do it too. It’s really hard to defend a qb option in the cfl and gap cancel, with out a 2 gap guy it’s basically gambling and hoping for the best. Even back in 21 before stove came back the lone weakness was getting gashed by big run plays when the offence stole back gaps.

Bc is no3 in rush yards against Toronto 1 and us 4. Our d has seen the least rush attempts, we have 5.5 ypc against bc has 4.9. Thing to watch is sacks and turn overs. Bc is tied for league lead in picks with 19 we are in a 3 way tie for 2nd fewest with 14 while tor has 12. We’ve forced 8 more turn overs We’ve given up 29 sacks, the most in a long time. But bc has given up 40. We are 2nd but far behind torontos 12 against and bc is 5th. Bc has made the most sacks with 49 while we are 4th with 40. We have a big edge in big plays for/against as well. Statistically we are both very close across the board.

Some interesting trends for us and bc since our blow out of them at home. bc has had 1 blow out win 37 to 9 vs cal. And 0 other win by 10 or more points with 1 lose by 17 to Hamilton. In the 7 games since they’ve averaged 32 points for and 27.1 points against with 2 loses both back to back. in that time we’ve had 2 blow out wins 1 win by 10 points or more we also had 2 loses not back to back and by 6 and 2 points. In those 7 games we’ve averaged 34.14 points for and 21.7 points against. How strange too that both our loses came against ssk and ham. Edm played us both tough too.

I think we will see a big switch in the west final to put the ball in lawler as hands and force teams to slack on schoen.

For real. It’ll be random guy from Toronto. Andrew Harris looool

I’d tune in. Probably be the most entertaining cfl content. as much as I would love that, if we beat them too bad we will disappoint in the west final. Gotta hope for the classic dominate the play on the field but not the score and squeeze out a two score win. I can’t wait for farhan to be pumping vaj tires for mop while the bombers pick 6 him.

What tale would your thoughts tell? Legit wonder what ours will be now.

Yeah tough one. By reputation and strength of his first half Willy j. Realistically, no one deserves it. Holm I guess? Sergio for teams, Bryant for line. Brady for Canadian and Zach for mop. Sergio doesn’t have a chance, neither does Bryant, Brady and Demski deserve nods but Zach will default as mop candidate and not win. Brady as moc is gonna be our only award. Then yeah it’ll be haba or Sheahan.

Such a shame not to just give the half time to lightfoot

Culturally I think the hip at half time was a big deal, and Gordon light foot was cool. Though they smushed in a few acts and I think the crowd booed bieber iirc lol.

I think they’ve struggled to find ways to get him involved with the role schoen has played, especially with the effort to spread the ball around to woli and Bailey plus Demskis break out about to be 1k season. It’s hard to feed the ball to 3 1k WRs and a 1500 yard back. Come play offs though lawlers fresh legs will be key. I’d cut back on Baileys plays and give Demski the runs and lawler the routes. Love Bailey but to run designed plays to him over those guys. Demski is too much better a runner and lawler too much better a wr.

I blame reinbold and the dark ages. No joke, when I’m at a game I’d much rather see some thing like the super dogs, or little kids playing. Little kids playing with and against mascots? Shut up and take my money. Idk musical half time shows for me in person are meh at best. I get that you can’t have super dogs on the grey cup broadcast though.
