Hard to believe the Argos could be 1-4 based on the number of DL they dress.

The only spot Parker has looked really good at is SAM. If he's 15 yards downfield he's treading water and struggling with reads. Corner he'd probably have to think less too and maybe could play a bit faster. I'd like to get a look at Allen. Someone a little more rangy who can also cover man all over the field which is necessary in the match coverages. Also, call Russ Dandy back. We need some oomph at corner. Both corners have eaten **** so far this season. Get some guys who will play the ball.

Vaughters works and there's definitely a role for the style of player he is on any team. Jefferson would not have survived into his 30's in basically any era right up until the one we are in now where everyone is a player's coach. The complete lack of effort about 90% of the time is inexcusable. Can be any time in the game and he's jogging at a QB looking like an old man trying to not get hit by a car while jaywalking as the QB goes right around him to the sideline and open space. He's the most egregious example of a guy who at best is a role player, and has been most of his career, who is basically given no leash and no accountability on this team. Doesn't really matter if he's a great guy. Is that the level of effort you want to see from a teammate? If he can watch himself play as he has the past couple seasons and not be absolutely embarrassed he must have zero self-awareness.

Problem with Clercius is he's basically good at one thing. When they've tried him on other routes he's struggled. He's not quite what Wolitarsky was, but similar at Z. Demski is kind of that release valve type guy. He really needs to be the #4, oh D is so worried about the other 2-3 guys and forgot about him. Let him beat guys in press in the score zone, find him on 2nd-3rd read in a route again where D loses him. You shouldn't be running many plays for him downfield, and if it's covered you need to move off him, he's not the kind of guy who is going to win those contested plays very often. Case is probably a more realistic version of what they want from Sterns. Thicker, possession type guy.

Collaros has never really vibed with a receiver like that. More Darvin Adams, Greg Ellingson, Bailey, Fantuz. Get some big possession receivers (height and core) and a couple guys that are legit vertical threats. Wheatfall is a good fit, Clercius is a good fit, Demski is fine as a 4-5 guy. They are missing 2 out of top 3 receivers right now. Schoen isn't worth talking about because he's clearly playing at about 70%. There's going to be no consistency there this season.

So you'd rather throw 3 deep balls into quarters coverage and give them the ball back every possession? The game plan from the start was not good and they gave up on the run way too early. But you can't just come out and heave Hail Mary's every play even down 3 scores. Wouldn't be productive toward changing that score line.

Yeah we don't really have the receivers to beat zone in any way. Not much YAC. Demski and Schoen are busted up from old/ongoing injuries. I've liked Wheatfall on some screen/hitch looks into the field. Our QB doesn't really run quick stuff. But IMO at the moment we have one receiver out there who is a consistent battler for 50/50 balls, and that's Wheatfall. Just a mess the past couple seasons trying to fill a couple receiver slots to build an offense.

Gotta use the catch radius guys at all levels. Same issue with Buck and Lawler. Gotta know teams are going to play more zone to deal with vertical stuff especially if our OL is solid in pass pro. Way too much Demski in that 5-10 yard range for me. Danger zone for him.

Wheatfall only 3 targets while Clercius, Sterns and Demski have 30 combined. How you know you had the wrong gameplan for this game.

Glad we were willing to challenge for 6 yards.

He's basically exactly 1 year off a ACL reconstruction.

Our star receivers with Collaros have been all big dudes and Demski when he gets wide open. Now we're using Demski as a possession receiver, Clercius is the reliable guy for Zach, Schoen is busted, Wheatfall looks to be a threat so he's not getting much space, Sterns is 5'7. Who is Darvin Adams? Bailey? Clercius has taken Wolitarsky's spot. We have done a terrible job of building a receiving corps to suit what our QB likes to do.

Great poke by Holm in the muck.

Yeah. This is silly. You're in a echo chamber of laughable takes. Turns out you need to catch the ball in traffic to beat zone.

Schoen ain't close to 100%.
