Bridges has to realize he needs to just hammer Cottoy there once the ball has been touched downfield.

I don't mind doing the drop 9 stuff...but you gotta have some pressures dialed up too. Ones that will be unexpected. We have no one at end who is able to generate pressure. Jefferson is disruptive in his unique way, but it's also really easy to avoid for an offense.

Not sure why we're having Vaughters stand in a 2 point in the B gap and just get crushed in 3 man fronts. No pressure, no gap control. Need someone who can get off the line.

He's on pace for 900 yards passing in this game. But just ok.

**** keep throwing back across the field. Please

That was a classic Collaros.

Hand was on outside of shoulder pad and he drove through. If he stopped his feet it would have been a hold. Ref maybe anticipated a bit on that.

Pretty marginal hold. He drives the guy down. Hands are inside and on shoulder pad driving him down. Clercius has good position and keeps his feet driving. Basically a textbook open field block in a situation like that. You are allowed to put hands on defenders.

Would have preferred Wilson stay on the wedge plays.

Betts complaining all ready.

Nice camera work catching Benevides scratching his taint.

Ottawa was blatantly offside on the goal-line stop.

Argos OL is in shambles. Vandal is terrible. Hunter looked really uncomfortable on the left side last night. The middle 3 were getting caved pass or run.

Hladik is ******* terrible.

Maybe that organization treating basically everyone but DaVaris Daniels and Chad Kelly as expendable coming home to roost. He doesn't even need to get hit. The majority of his injuries are severe joint injuries non-contact. He's blown ACL, achilles, broken leg and MRSA infection in the leg from the Marino hit. Kind of a ticking time bomb from the waist down.

This is ******* insane. The game was over before he moved the ball at all. If you can only play well when you're down 20 points what's the point? 4-14 every year.

Rider fans wanted to cut that guy.

Why aren't they challenging for RTP? Way more likely to get that call than DPI.

For most position units I agree with him. You can't put someone out there really anywhere on D who doesn't have some special teams capability aside from the interior DL. You can't have constant breakdowns on special teams because field position is absolutely huge up here, and you can't just avoid covering by punting out of bounds with the penalties now. But OL is so much more crucial than anything but QB for scoring points which is the way you win games. If you don't have an offense that can put up 24-28 points your chances of winning in this league in June/July/August are almost nil. I know he believes that and there are subs there mostly for what they do on special teams. But you always, always, always dress the best OL you have available and go from there. I'd play all Canadian receivers or DL and all American OL if that made the best OL we had available for the next game on the schedule. And we know that Vanterpool was an absolute weapon out there at LG last week. There's really no reason to take a unit that is an absolute strength and take probably the best guy on it last week out.

I don't know how that Sask guy got away with the low block. Only guys lined up inside the tackles can throw those.

He's regressed badly in the past couple years. Doesn't trust his arm as much as the system they've designed requires. They use almost no RPO which should be core of any system built around Ford. He's gotta be on the move and you need to help him get time to pass (not just in terms of the rush but the coverage) by putting the defense off-balance with threat of run, QB run and pass on almost every snap. He's not going to pinpoint intermediate passes into coverage for receivers, need to create space downfield for him by stopping feet with run threats. I actually thought last year when he came in that he looked a lot like he was on the way to being a competent passer. He did alright vs us and we have a very tough D on QB's. But that offense in general last year was best in the league in the last 2/3 of the season.

Maybe Bailey isn’t good. He didn’t exactly jump off the page to me in the preseason games and he’s in one of the easiest positions to do that even with poor camera angles. He has a bit of an advantage to stick around being Global but maybe he’s not very useful on special teams either. Maybe he’s Big Sky’s Faith Ekakitie.

Likely counting an arm right at the line on the TD run. To me if he had a crease he hit it, if there was muck he got a couple yards. Which is fine…but he’s the type of back that really needs the OL to move bodies. So if we’re rolling with him for some games here, keep that OL together. Pass protection was also flawless. To me this is an unnecessary risk. I hope Wallace is great, but we’re down to Eli too if someone goes down and he has never shown well playing anywhere but tight end.

Here’s what I don’t like: OL is 70 snaps a game and literally the heartbeat of your team, protecting the most precious assets of your team and creating your ability to score points. Special teams…I’ll never discount the importance…but 15 plays a game and really we have the bodies to have a solid unit without Ayers. Nuts to me to change the OL from last week. They dominated that game and Vanterpool specifically. Peterson had almost no yards after contact and ran for 130. BO had another 50. That’s the kind of decision that could easily lose you a game.

259 of those yards when they were down by 3 scores or 2 scores under 3 mins.
