That needs to be investigated by the league and PA.

Keys to the game? Key 1 is this is a must win game. But more than just a win, we need a momentum builder, a jumping off point to finish the year strong. Key 2 with Zach out we need a strong run game. It's going to be harder with vanterpool off, and with Shades calling the plays on O. But we need a monster game from brady. Key 3, Tackling. We can't give an offense like hamilton free or easy yards. We need to wrap, tackle and gang tackle on first contact. Players to watch, Brady, OL, Wilson, Demski, Mitchell (needs to step up and earn his spot or lose it), Wheatfall (needs to re find his early season form and bring the premium play his position demands) Kyrie (how healthy is he, will he diminish being banged up) Person (will his reps on D manifest or will he ride the pine) And houston (will he be the gambler or has he wisended up)

I get what you're saying and I don't entirely disagree. Though in a championship game, a back up qb should not beat you. Also, I don't think Arbuckle was the guy last year he is his year. I'm also not entirely sure how much of his performance is putting up stats on a bad team. MTL was really well coached as well as toronto, If we didn't spot each of the last 3 GC competitors with significant roster advantages, we could've won all of em. especially if our prep, execution, and game plans were on par with what we played against.

if kenny lawler thinks his last contract here was playing at a discount, he’s lost the plot. he was making 285k+ Also, for a guy who crapped the bed with his own pass port status and missed a big chunk of a year, and missed them with a dui incident, he doesn’t get to complain about his work status with us. I love the guys talent, but he’s tough to listen to at times. He is right though, that the bombers did a piss poor job of trying to retain him, as we’ve often done in free agency the last several years. Seriously, has taman been face off’d with walters or some thing?

or if half of them happened to be pro football level athletes at any point before they turned 30. First, it’s not flexibility. when you don’t take those canadians off and use the extras to get better players on at strategic points and times, it’s just wasted excess. Second, it’s not injury insurance, that’s what quality canadian depth is. starting extra guys who are fringe players doesn’t make you less susceptible to injury because you don’t have the back up imps to replace if the canadians go down. won the last gc 4 years ago. that doesn’t buy a coach an eternity of mistakes. neither does pissing away 3 championship games to bad coaching. Thing is, you require less canadians now than we did when he came up with this due to nat canadian role. so not only are we over the min, we are massively over it. Meanwhile our 2/4 2/3 canadian dl is our biggest weak spot. It’s been more than a year. with his pissing away 3 gc games, 2 that should’ve been easy wins, and then last year only being salvaged by a ridiculous lucky streak at the end of the year, and this year, he’s had tons of rope. Thing is, these are the same problems mos had before 19. he hasn’t improved at all. His roster management isn’t even debatable at this point.

we are rolling 6 dl with 3 canadians. every other team is rolling 8+ with 6 or more imps, except for one team with a very good canadian pass rusher. We are the only team under rostering dl, and filling half the spots with fringe roster guys. truth. a couple people on here are soo lost in cognitive dissonance from their unwavering faith in the mafia doing no wrong and the fact we have been at best a fringe play off team for two years, outside of the insanely flukey stretch streak last year.

we are starting 9 canadians. we could go down plus use the naturalized rule. We also have ayers who doesn’t play D and isn’t a DL, and we have 3 back up imp dbs. wouldn’t be hard to rebalance the line to stick in a couple more imps even into the starting line up.

sure doesn’t show any urgency to try and make the play offs down the stretch. I can’t imagine the cats prep meeting looking at that chart.

depth chart has me feeling woozy

The ol has hastened Zachs down fall. But if you look at his good games the last two years, he needs to practically run into a throw to get it 30-40 yards down field and it will still end up well short. He can't get the ball out quickly or cleanly either. And if you look at his play off stats here, he had 1 good game and a whole lot of bad games.

I mean they literally just ruined dalton schoen bringing him back repeatedly and continually allowing him to play through re injures. If they said no one time he probably still has a decent future.

We’d hammer hammy if we did that.

probably go canadian vet lol. might be ayers taking reps while J jones sits on the bench. we might go full time db wil pack and only roll with 1 lber. Hamilton is not much of a running threat. Makonzo has practiced every day for what 2 weeks? still out. Still stuck on 1 game. wonder if he’s recovering ok, struggling to get his cardio or just stuck on the bench. Could be an interesting roster with the depth of guys banged up. But i don’t expect much, even if we roster guys like bailey they probably won’t play.

And the poor get poorer.

Eh I mean that is depressing, but that is also a large product of the system he's been played in. We run the check down install from matt nichols days aside from option fake option and qb fake junk. Haha! I'm not surprised that the run stat is in zachs favor, but by that much is just funny. Crazy legs collaros been watching those old mike vick highlights.

interesting, wonder if he’s not healthy or if he wants to move on. I don’t think you can really stack up the lions then future performances vs other teams to reduce the production in our first game of the year. Things change a lot when film is sufficient and rosters change. Strev played well enough to have that game well in hand. If you want depressing strev stats though, he has 4 total games with 200 yards passing or more. 2 of those games he had more picks than tds. 1 of those games was 300 yards or more and that was one of the games with more picks than TDS. Or that in 18 he had 5 games with more passing tds than ints. Since the end of 18, he’s had 2 games with more tds than ints.

He’s got a similar disregard for outsiders, and a similar stubborn arrogance. He hasn’t gone full kelly though and I don’t think he ever would. he’s also earned far more as a hc than kelly up here.

On one hand most teams didn't spend through that whole 500k increase, he also had an upfront bonus of like 250k this year, so you'd only be eating the Pro rated amount for 1/3 of the year. That said, I want no part of kelly. 3dn lists it at 600k for this year, I believe next year was the same deal but it was never officially announced.

we went all in on extra meh

as in his average production per game, about 319 passing yards and 1-2 td, like i referred to. Which makes it hard to expect improvement by swapping him for kelly. we aren’t desperate though. just another season, hosting the gc and our window closing is just another year. /sad

boy we are getting less healthy as we go. Wonder if makonzo is close. be nice to have him on the back end of the roster as a guy who can actually contribute on 5-10 defensive snaps a game. that’d be soo hilarious and fitting if we did that in game. Id like to see oyelola get a look on the back end of the roster. we could use bailey more, but oyelolas dynamic athleticism and what 2-3 years of nfl coaching. could be interesting on teams to see if he’s turned a corner.

yeah, one of his 2 good games on the entire season lol. Probably his best game in 2 years. and 1 run stop.

I don't need to, do you know how to evaluate film, understand front/techs, and run fits? Because it sounds like you watch without understanding how to watch and what's actually happening. Kyrie has had 1 good run-stopping game this year and 11 run stops all year. The D is funneled to Jones, and Kyrie only gets to run gaps if they happen right in front of him and he doesn't get picked up.

Idk, toronto is playing edmonton this week. I would certainly expect Arbuckle to maintain his average-ish performance. I belive the trade dead line is begining of october as well. Which leaves edmonton, montral and BC for games for them.

What do you do if you're the argos? Arbuckle has thrown 6 straight 300+ yard games, and 7 of his last 8. Since week 2 he's had more Tds than Ints. He's averaging 319 yards passing per game. He is 31, and he's healthy as can be. He's also not in the 13 highest paid qbs in the league. Does kelly make them any better at this point? They have heavily under achived but I don't place a lot of that at arbuckles feet. Kelly is also 31, an off the field nightmare, the 2nd highest paid qb at 615k, coming off a major injury and his best year isn't as good as arbuckle this year. Personally, while I'd hate to tie my self to arbuckle as the qb1 prior to this year, I'd trade kelly. Some one will likely be desparate enough to take the bait on him and give up assets. You can still resign arbuckle to a team friendly deal and add an all star player with the salary difference.
