The only way I would trade for zach is some of wade millers belly button lint in exchange for zach and a draft pick. Zach is instantly cut and the argos gotta come collect the lint them self. Even then, im pretty iffy on doing that. I would take either as the qb2 for the rest of the year. MBT would be who i prefer. Meh, we've had lots of nut balls and off the wall characters in the past I dont see why we should stop now. Plenty of all praise be to flying spaghetti monster types. As long as the voices keep sayin toss tds im good with it. Plus Id rather our management be the type to take a risk on a crazy qb, then have a crazy management that thinks trading for zach is a good idea. A young qbs confidence is easily crushed. And it can be easy to have a guy seem far better then he is when playing in the right system. Weve seen tons of qbs in every league and level excel for a short period of time only to be exposed once teams have enough footage. Id still take franklin as the 2nd guy. Wouldnt pay a high price but Id be happy for him to be our no2 and push streveler.

He has, but coming back from an awful position will effect your tackling. And when arguable the best tackler in the league is slipping, coaching is doing a poor job. I do believe that if he was being used as he was last year we'd see a different performance. If he was used like he was last year we probably win 2 or 3 of the games weve lost too. If either side of the ball was coached aggressively to the last play, we may be un defeated. Any chance we can air lift in some coaches from down south??

Jeffcoat had 2 pressures and a strip sack forced fumble, and 4 tackles. Thats not exactly invisible... Bighill isnt struggling hes being used very poorly.

That happens in the cfl more then youd think. With guys who sit out and come in having not played in a long while. Like bailey, grant and lawler for instance. No rb is taking a spot or significant touches away from harris. Not if we had the 2nd and 3rd best backs in the league.

Calgary seems to be bringing in guys to play right away, while we are trying out guys for next year. Its the same thing we do every year under this administration.

Iirc under missick we had a 2 year record for turn overs, when he left and younger took over the turn overs dropped off heavily each year. Previously It seemed like we could find and develop DBs that fit our system easily. Now it seems far tougher.

Mostly agree. Though I think/hope that ott is gonna go all in on Masoli. Itll be interesting to see if jennings and davis ever hold a clipboard again in this league after this year. Im expecting not.

It would be interesting to see. Yeah in a certain camp of fans only wins count, even if they arent produced at all by qbing. We still enjoy the best average starting field position in the league, but it has declined a good bit recently. Whats an even bigger deal is missing harris, then going away from running with him last game. Plus the kids gloves playbook streveler was playing with up until we fell deep behind against hammy. For streveler to be effective we have to maintain the runs with harris, and let him stretch the field deep. Let more of his runs come from when the defense is deep down field covering wrs and he has room to do some damage with his legs. Less QB draws up the gut.

I think this team is going to be making changes in the off season, and I think itll be plops head on the block. Maybe hall too. I suspect nichols will be back on a shorter deal, with less money. Maybe an incentive laden deal. Which I would prefer over bringing in masoli on similar money. But I could see the upper management swinging for the fences and making a move for a new face. Id say 20% chance that happens.

Because he was throwing far less passes a game. Its the same way rider fans used to argue that kenton keith was better then charles roberts with a YPC of 7 vs blinks 5+ in 2.5x more touches.

Whats darvin adams QBR again? 150 ish? Its the ratio of first downs to 2 n outs. Especially in the second half of games. Thats always been the issue. People trying to take single stats and un correlated stats (positional wins, some one please tell me dunigans career w/l. Or damon allens, or any one else for that matter) Completing 70% of your passes isnt the same if you are in a system like reilly was in edm, vs a qb here. Qb rating and TD rate are heavily skewed when youre average field position is 15 yards a head of the rest of the league, and when you lead the league in virtually every rushing category. And the importance of not going 2 and out when your defense is designed to bend but not break is extremely high. Nichols is in a bad spot. He was putting up a lot of tds and wins, then started to skuffle and then will have missed more then half a season. Combine that with the fact that the injured starters will be healthy for next camp, and soo many young qbs looking good the market will be very weak for him . The depth of starters in the league going into next year is very good. Masoli, Reilly, BLM, harris, Evans, Arbuckle, Fajardo, Vaj, MBt, Nichols, and to a lesser extent Streveler and Franklin. Im sure we will see some spreading out of the names, with certain guys chasing starting jobs. Nichols will have missed half of this year, 4 games the previous year, and be 2 years removed from his best season. If you are faced with finding a new starter, basically just ottawa right now, do you go after some one like arbuckle, franklin or streveler with tons of up side or a 34 year old nichols? If you go after nichols or even masoli you want them in combination with one of those guys. Nichols doesnt have leverage. If ott goes for masoli, all of a sudden this is the only open starting job on the market. I think we will see one of the argos qbs moved, the cats embrace evans, and I think its likely the stamps thing out too. Streveler may or may not take the job. But the flourishing of new qbs around the league and hungry vets that missed time this year coming back the league will not be short on starting qbs next year.

You would flip the rotation from thomas rotating in to spell the imp DTs to probably richardson rotating. Same on the end. Youd be cutting one of their reps from around 2/3 of plays to 1/3. Not in all explosion cases but yeah. When he tries to use hecht to vice cover a wr, and he cant keep position on deep routes it isnt the cb/dhbs fault. And it isnt even hechts fault. Both are put in a position to fail.

We started one extra NI for an extra DI. So we'd just start the 7. Could be thomas to keep the extra DI. I wouldnt mess with the DL and its rotation though.

The quality of a teams tackling and swarming to the ball carrier is a product of coaching though. All these guys know how to tackle and can do it. You get arm tackles and selling out for hits when you allow players to repeatedly get away with it instead of enforcing good form tackling. Thats not just hall though, thats mos and younger too.

Thats interesting indeed. If they go back to dropping bighill instead of making him eat up a guard we could see improvement in pass D.

Alexander at S is really interesting. On one hand I really id rather have him at another DB spot, but his speed at S is really tantalizing. I would think about moving fenner off cb, hes been beaten especially deep a lot. But im not sure he'd be any better at S. No perfect solution in this situation. Itll be great to have BA back in the line up though. Atleast they are shaking it up and making some changes though.

Those guys have only performed when given the chance. Same as wolitarsky and others.

That corn and apples are worth partying over?

If a home play off game gets much closer to slipping away I wouldnt be surprised if they pick up a vet.

Thats the nature of timing routes and rub routes. Wrs are always open, especially if you can throw them open like evans can. Most teams arent running that look, though I can see it catching on. In ssk for the tie breaker is gonna be tough. I expect the team to get the train back on the rails. Things will get real ugly and fast if they dont. I dont feel like ssk will be able to contain our rush, and fajardos one move to escape the pocket is less and less effective each time you see it.

Not their fault. Can't expect 4 guys to pressure against 6 and 7 blockers.

1 Lawler. 2 jeffcoat. 3 interior DL HH bighill pick finally being dropped back for once

Signing bonus no but he made the cut down so he atleast got the roster bonus for post TC. That isnt foolin around money.

Thats true this is the time to struggle and get it fixed.

One nfl signing bonus when he went back down and he clears north of 750k. Only 2.5-3x the local average. And as a pro athlete in an extremely violent sport you gotta plan for injuries. QFT
