CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread

ROFL I’d kind of like to see him go to ott. -
When you find as many ways to lose as we did, no lead is safe.

Houston isn’t a problem for sure. And when the secondary sees turn over, has to cover more in the run game and isn’t getting off the field you see what we saw the last couple of games. When BA first went to S in 19 it was a drastic impact on a tremendously talented secondary that had struggled even more so.
-
I think one change at a time to each problem area would be a good start. I wouldn’t take holm off the active roster currently. If ba doesn’t get back to what he’s done in the past id look at either flipping ni (not ideal) and starting two imp dts jake goes off the active a together, or try swaray/holm at S. I’d bring back one injured db or Mohamed, either Cole at wil or kyrie, a nose on the roster, Eli in at C. Following that if we under perform I’d make another round of changes and cut some vets. Walker has had two really good games in a row. But even if he’s sayles quality right now we need a nose full time. Not a guy in the nose position but a guy who can collapse the C and cancel both A gaps with regularity. he does cal didn’t muck about with guys who don’t perform. I think a veteran getting cut is the message this team needs right now. Nailed it. Though C has been an issue a lot. When teams play a nose or kola has to call out adjustments and blitzes hand off stunts etc he falters.

Mos is very much in the mould of Dave ritchie. Who I love but his down fall here and with other teams was very similar to what we see this year. The thing that separates long term great coaches from coaches that don’t last is the ability to move on from good players on the wrong end of their career. Buono, and the don are classic guys who would hesitate to replace an aging vet with a young player if it made their team better. Belicheck, to Walsh even to other sports. If you ride veterans to the point that when you let them go no one else signs them, you’re on a sinking ship.

A lot of talk about different dbs being bad this year. And each guy has had highs and lows. Some like Darby more lows than highs. The young guys in general have our performed the old guys. But the guy that stands out to be me is BA. He hasn’t been remotely the same since his injury. He’s gotten too much into the habit of selling out for hits, but he went from an elite deep cover guy to none existent. We are having to play dbs in run fits more than ever because we don’t have a nose. But even in pure pass calls he can’t seem to get over to help on deep shots. Instead of getting in on the wr or the ball to make a play, he at best gets into the trail position and doesn’t provide much cover help. Last night I saw him give up a couple times from behind where he would’ve been able to run into the back end of plays and make score saving tackles in the past. Maybe he’s struggling with the adjustments, maybe he’s not healthy. But he went from the straw that stirs the drink in our secondary to ineffective in pass coverage. And I’m not talking about ranging half or the whole field. He’s not getting into position from with in his third or less.

If he comes back this year he shouldn’t since he’s under contract this year to the Leo’s. If he hit the fa market he could get an even crazier deal. That said I don’t think we see rourke any time soon. I’d say very little chance in the next 3 years. Streveler is fairly likely in the next year or two imo. Does the league need to incentivize qb development some how? Do they need to raise the cap and create a qb cap so the position has a floor and an even higher cap to try and lure away more of the top none nfl guys? If not those things the league needs to do some thing. -
Two. Dobson and Eli.
-
Yeah. And some ab normal misses with accuracy from Zach. The accuracy is likely a cause from the sacks and hits. The drops idk. This group shouldn’t drop many like that. we found ways to lose this game. All of the ways. But we don’t know how healthy Zach is, and if the ol isn’t changed fast we probably won’t have Zach healthy when we need him, again.
-
Yeah. 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.
-
Or atleast protect the ball and put up some first downs.

Nice guy coaches tend to have a limited half life. 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.
-
Hate to say it, but I don’t know how we can get it back with the way mos runs things. He isn’t going to send a message to the guys by cutting or benching some one or by holding them accountable. He’s going to let the room do it, they will just focus on next week and be further diminished. We’ve been punched in the mouth twice this year. Once by a comparable team and once by a significantly worse team. That happens. But we didn’t fight back. You can’t be old and lack the ability to fight back. You have to have more fight to beat younger guys.
-
We need to be able to run on people. And right now we don’t. We get to run when teams don’t gap cancel with good run fits. We used to physically dominate the line. And with this interior ol, we can’t do that any more. When we can’t do that it hurts our ability to protect Zach.
-
Not wrong. But no matter who we had we were not prepared to contain a running qb at all. He ate the lunch of wj biggie jeffcoat and more with regularity in the second half. I blame hall for not preparing them better in scout team. Qb contain is discipline and preparation. Thats the one thing we had to do to win today. And we didn’t do it in the second half.
-
Taking our foot off the gas pedal was really hurtful in last years post season run and is a good part of this years offensive inconsistency. We get in a groove put up a a couple scores on a couple drives then stop doing what made us successful. Offence gets out of a rhythm and we struggle greatly to get back into the rhythm. as much as roster choices have hurt us this year, collaros seems to be getting upset with this play call.
-
I believe that clements got hurt. Biggie was on the line in a blitz.
-
Didn’t even use him on teams when that’s what got him to the nfl.
-
And on for the winning drive too. Bennett had more snaps than haba by a lot. Eli and Dobson are turn key and cheaper. Why would a guy want to come in not to play no matter how well they do? Cutting the legs out from under the front office and the team.
-
Time for some changes. Ol, and maybe time for an offensive qc coach for buck to answer to.
-
1 willyj two tackles sack pkd bunch of pressures 2 biggie 7 tackles 2 sacks 3 Castillo hit all his fgs and his best game kicking off 71 yards per hh Brady’s huge catch and run awe dbag of the game otts gm for getting an unsportsmanlike
