Streveler great, Brady great, thought Willie had his best game of the year too. Sergio always great, Kramdi is a guy I defended last year but man is he absolute poo this year, Clercius seems like he’s got that dawg in him, shout-out to whipping boy Jake for a key PKD, Holm seemed solid all game, really wish Cole would get on for Kramdi, Bighill always around the play at the end coming in from three yards away when it’s over as usual, wonder if Woli maybe started the game a bit too amped up for his best man Streveler with those penalties, refs with the worst work I’ve seen in forever probably should just check their phone records and see if they’ve been calling Shawn Lemon let’s go Blue big W love to see it

Looks like they popped him on the depth chart instead of Eli for the game in Calgary. So that's it.
Which is weird because I see what you see now but that’s not the depth chart they released prior to the game

Is anyone in this organization going to wake up? Do they just consider this a lost season? or are they just arrogant because of past success? I can’t imagine week after week the organization could just sit here and say yep this is fine. They obviously have a deep rooted attachment to these guys who are no longer starting caliber players..
Perhaps this quote from our head coach will answer your question
“We’ve just made enough mistakes to just lose games. Just clean that up and we should be good.”

For sure. All stats can be useful to a certain degree. However, like PFF does, claiming that Jake was the best DL last week....that must be put to the eyeball and situational test before anyone should make such a claim.
It’s not PFF, which I’ll at least give credit to for watching games.
Pro Stats Canada or whatever it’s called - the guy who gave Jake a top production rating - literally just box score watches and applies some weirdo formula to spit out content. In fairness to him, he does point out on his social media that “productive” =/= “best” but at the same time, he buries that statement in the middle of a whole word salad where he spends 3000 words to ultimately say “my ratings are just statistic compilation”

Hamilton gets Deionte Knight off Toronto’s practice roster.
Good to see other teams doing everything they can to get better.
(edit: no I didn’t think we should’ve snagged him, I’ll keep beating the drum to see us make an attempt at Makai Polk)

Just reacting to your earlier comment, "Could be. Sometimes you work with the qbs you have-like the Als with Fajardo." To me, it seemed like you made a backhanded comment right in the nose. I'm happy for the guy. I don't hold it against him just because he played for the Riders. There's a few people that want him to fail just because he was a Rider. BTW, not saying you feel that way.
What a rollercoaster

Are you sure? CFL contracts have never been guaranteed. If we cut Zach lose then we don't owe him anything. There is a date where if a vet is kept then his contract is guaranteed for that season only. Or at least, it used to be that way.
I’m very sure. It was very public information that when Zach signed his three year deal, they included 250k guaranteed in the third year since they were permitted to do so based on new CBA language.

I don’t know if it got brought up yet, but we brought back Kody Case

Says the guy who suggested that pass pro for a RB was the easiest thing to do.
The number one attribute @CrazyCanuck89 looks for is passport. You can pretty much write him off, the schtick is clear by now.

Kramdi has been bad this year - liked his game last year but he’s far too hit and miss for me this season. Wilson looks like he’s playing in concrete cleats and Bighill looks like he’s playing with a blindfold on.
Worst linebackers in the league without question.

Makai Polk I knew it

I forgot to pick so I guess I’ll go Mills

Show me a receiving corps that wouldn’t look like **** down the top 3 Americans.
Agree with the rest but it’s hard to make more changes when every week a scramble to fill injury positions.
Only real hope to win is ground and pound with BO and Strev
To be fair, we’ve lost 3 receivers and added 1 to our roster since then so to a certain degree, it’s self-inflicted.
What happens if we have one guy go down this week? Ravi is up and then we have literally no backups left? I get it’s tough but we could be doing more.

I completely forgot he even existed until now - what’s Terry Godwin been up to?

Watched this guy his whole career at NDSU. He's good enough to get a legit shot as an American player. Easy 1st round pick. Mardner was 2nd overall in a great draft. Very comparable. Top receiver on a run heavy team at NDSU, weak QB in 2022 who got better in 2023 (QB likely to be CFL prospect too, Cam Miller still at NDSU). Guy that was used lots downfield, screens, intermediate, full route tree.
I'd expect there'd be half the league or more bidding their 1st rounder.
I don’t have this depth of knowledge about him but I too have heard of him and seen him play and I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes for a first

I am no Chevy fan but to suggest he purposely over bakes his draft choices is lame. It is the coaches who decide who plays, i just don't see Chevy overreaching his authority that way. If the young guys can play,they do. Heinola was never ready physically to make in the NHL and Perfetti as well has had major injury problems and trouble physically in the NHL.
Did anyone once say “Chevy”?

Bluto what’s the deal with Makai Polk

There's a huge issue with next man up/roles being defined by seniority for sure.
There's a bigger issue with evaluation. Hard to tell if if it's personnel, coaching or both. It's not like our cuts are going onto other teams or even other leagues and lighting it up. The receiver competition this season was demoralizing. Like we have 20 guys in camp and the best you break camp with are Wilson and Mitchell? Then you see guys on BC, Hamilton, Montreal, Calgary tearing it up.
There's also the issue of evaluating our own guys. Like how did they watch Alexander last year and think that's a guy to bring back as opposed to a rookie DB using that little bit of extra money on say Grant instead of a rookie returner? Grant is definitely losing a step but it's also a step down from being arguably the greatest CFL returner of all time, still a good player and still far better, more reliable than anyone else we've seen in the role the past two seasons.
Bighill has basically been trash for two full seasons. Could use that money to chase after CFL free agents in their prime while we are a prime, winning destination.
You’ve said it a million times, the way they used camp reps and kept a bazillion guys until the end served no purpose whatsoever. Such a detriment.
