Andrew Harris was not just a 4th quarter performer lol. And ofcourse our previous seasons' 4th quarters were huge, we were s**t stomping teams and up by multiple scores going into the 4th so we could just run the ball and salt away a lot of games. This year games have been much tighter and we need that running game earlier to keep teams honest and not pin their ears back and focus solely on Zach. Theres a direct correlation between lack of run game/lack of passing success. Its likely why games against the Montreals, and Ottawas, and Edmontons have been so close for so long. An effective run game opens up the pass. Its written in stone.

I would love to see QB pressure stats because Collaros is having much less time in the pocket as years past, as per the eye test, which is leading him to throw early/force throws at times(hello Ottawa 4th quarter pick-6). Also, if runs for no gain/negative yards could be found i would wager Oliveira is likely nearing his last seasons totals already. If you take out the 4th quarter last game he probably had like 20 yards on the ground. We gouged them in the 4th because they were gassed. The majority of Oliveira's yardage has been from late in games this season. I'd rather not wait until the 4th for our running game to get going, thats the type of thing that will make you one-dimensional. The run game push from the o-line has been largely non-existent this season for large chunks of games. You can argue the stats seem the same, but the eye test is very much different from previous seasons. The o-line needs to sack-up. If they dont it could be just a matter of time until something happens to Zach and/or teams make Oliveira a non-factor.

Our playoff defense in 2019 was generational, as was our regular season defense in 2021. That was no fluke.

Our o-line has been worse this season, in both pass protection and run blocking. No one with a set of eyes can deny it.

Cause youre Chris Jones dammit! And why keep a guy like Ceresna around when youve got Duron Carter waiting in the wings?!?

How did we get assblasted by this team??

Yes i believe so.

Legend. I hear he wears a live rattlesnake as a condom.

Heres to a double loss

Only 28 too. Shame.

3-15 here they come!

Yeah, noticed that female lineswoman screwed us a couple times with garbage spots. The Prokup fumble was one where the previous catch should have been ruled a first down on the positive yardage gained, but she marked it short. Basically marked it where the receiver was tackled. Brutal.

He got one PI call against him in the Ottawa game but it was very ticky-tacky.

Mcrae is plenty shifty and fast. The guy averaged like 9 yards a carry in college. Youre not going to be bringing in a newbie at this stage of the season when Mcrae is around.

Not sure how you can take Holm out of the lineup. Rose was hot poop last year. Parker does need to come back in though.

Mcrae is pretty much that guy already. They did insert him for a couple runs last night when the running game was stalled. Its imperative that our run game is a success. It opens up so much more for Buck and Zach.

Hope yes to all of the above.

Disagree. I would love to find said stats but have no idea if theyre available. If anyone can/cares to please do. Youre strange dislike of him since day 1 has clouded reality.

Holm has been nothing short of excellent and his tackling has been fine. I'd argue his coverage has been the best out of all our DB's not named Nichols. I cant think of many scenarios where he hasnt been in the hip pocket of receivers and/or was able to use his elite speed to recover in time to make the play. Im sorry he stole your ice cream.

Harris was never quick or shifty either, he just had that spin and hurdle that Brady doesnt. Brady is a beast though and will grind you down. That run in the 4th where he lowered his pads and mashed that Elks linebacker into a fine paste was a thing of beauty. He's never going to win a footrace to the endzone, but thats O'Shea/Bomber football and the type you need to grind out wins in the cold playoffs. No one wanted to tackle Brady last night in the 4th quarter. He was punishing them. Love me a big back.

Lawler-Good god i forgot how awesome he is. Shame on me. Demski-Always finds the open spaces. D-line-Even bigger night if they could wrap up and tackle properly. Getting a little irritating. Brady-Running like a bison downhill with his ass on fire in the 2nd half. Collaros-Doing Zach things. Cant be stopped when he was time.

Kolonoscopy with yet another flag...

Keep up this type of meh play coming out of the bye and BC is gonna fist us. Might be a long second half of the season.....

Houston hey....

Like Kramdi?!? Really?? No one else could have slid into that spot?? Unreal. Cant wait to see him in the trail position all game surrendering catch after catch.
