No Julien-Grant for MTL … DL looks solid, secondary is young and aggressive but man are those LB ugly.

I’d like to see @DTonOB or someone else in the media grow some stones and start asking hard questions. Why has nobody asked O’Shea why he feels it’s right to blatant ignore the new roster rules and handcuff our team?

Feels like BA will be a late scratch

Hell of a catch no doubt

The problem with Dolegala is he looks absolutely lost trying to be accurate in the intermediate parts of the field. His stats are going to be largely built by the plays his receivers make for him. If they can win some jump balls, he’ll have nice numbers. If they can’t, it’s going to be ugly. He’s not going to make life easy for them and I’m pretty sure you’ll see the Shawn Bane usage go down like crazy now. 4 catches on 9 targets yesterday is big time yikes and that’s all on Dolegala.

That arc he puts on the ball is going to be praised by colour commentators because it “looks” so nice but once they start to realize it’s easy as hell to pick those off, the shine will wear off quick. They were all stunned by how pretty Emilus’ catch was yesterday, but in reality, they overlooked how he was basically playing DB on that ball because it was such an ugly throw.

Vernon Adams is what he is, he’s not the first QB in the CFL to be able to throw his team in and out of football games. There aren’t many QBs I’d take in the league right now over him. Lots of toughness yesterday, although he kind of reminds me of Nik Ehlers the way he’s always being showy about some kind of injury. Saskatchewan still doesn’t scare me. BC’s D has basically been exposed in the past few weeks, I haven’t really paid much attention to whether they’ve had injuries or what but it doesn’t seem uncommon to hang points on them lately. Dolegala will get figured out, although quietly I do think the Riders have one of the better groups of offensive weapons to surround a QB with in the league right now. I know they’re not fancy names but Emilus, KSB, Jones and Bane are probably enough to make up a top 3 group of receivers in the league at the moment. Their OL still stinks so badly that it won’t make a huge difference.

My god what a horrendous argument this is. 😂

Our coaching is absolutely ******* horrendous on game day

Our coaching in-game continues to be absolutely horrible. Just about over with Sidelines O’Shea. Wish we could keep Locker Room O’Shea and fire the sideline version.

Steve Daniel is usually right on the money but I wonder if his databases have been at all hampered by the league.

How do we keep Dru Brown after this season? Sucks

Holm sucks hehehe

I think it’s pretty fair to say Shawn Bane is a top level receiver at this point

I don’t know how you can overturn that but what a brutal call

It’s crazy because you’ve jumped the shark here just as much as some of the takes on the other side. I’ve never once said I hope we lose or I want us to lose. I was indeed the one who questioned if fans would start to turn on O’Shea. Not really a weird question considering how doom and gloom people were after a few losses. I don’t like the way he manages the roster or quite frankly, coaches within the flow of the game. I like absolutely everything else about him as a coach. But yes. The roster management has the potential to cost us games. It already may have cost us one. It’s not ridiculous to suggest that and if you think it is, let me ask you: if roster management can’t cost you games, why does it even matter who we play? Just let everyone have equal reps and treat it like it’s elementary school sports.

We’re apparently not allowed to talk about that here

You don’t think it will cost us games? Wouldn’t the Ottawa game be a perfect example?

I’m thrilled that we demolished BC but it’s laughable how many of you in here are so quick to forget how our roster management has already raised question marks in many other games this year. Good results don’t mean there are no flaws in the process. I’d like to see us maximize our chances to win every game the rest of the way. Roster management helps with that.

Oh I wholeheartedly agree. Our defensive rotation usage at this point is beyond pathetic.

To be fair, Burtenshaw is mostly just a ST guy and has rarely played any FB.

I’d say they’re less susceptible to that than we are Honestly I’d take him here. Move Biggie over, put Sankey in the middle.

Or maybe because it’s 2023

Lol what the hell? What’s your vendetta with Lemon? He’s a selfish jerk because he didn’t sign here? Because he wants money?
