And when you're relying on so many 30+ guys part of that is insuring you have depth. And for guys like Willie, you've always needed depth because he's not an every down type DL. The pregame speech isn't it. The physical part of being ready to play is huge, and that's where not using your roster is biting us in the ass.

It's not an extra import. It purely affects how you can substitute.

Only issue was range for both teams FG into the wind was about 10-15 yards less based on when they chose to punt vs go for 3 in each direction. So if it comes down to a final possession and kick that's a pretty big difference. Gameplanning passivity on D and Collaros antsy-ness in the pocket much bigger issues to me.

Not really. The guy can sub in for a Canadian starter designated 23 snaps. Can always sub in for another American. So if the started Haba and had Jeffcoat behind him as designated, Jeffcoat could sub in any down for Haba or another American, but could take out Thomas/Lawson for 23 snaps. No extra guy on roster.

Haba would be a nice rotational piece, but he's not ready for primetime. Hamilton attacked him with rollouts repeatedly, sweeps a couple times (one for 52 yards) and he always took the bait with the inside move. As a guy to come in for 2nd and long, sure. I'm not sure we really have the reliable 3rd rusher right now. But we can use the LB's we have dressed to give a lot of different looks and get pressure too.

Yeah Toronto used 4 tailbacks in that Montreal game. I can't see our D matching up well to that offense right now, but the game is in Winnipeg at least. Lot of money in Jefferson, Bighill, Rose, Alexander. Not a lot of plays by those guys lately.

I will never understand why Hall's gameplan for these inexperienced pop gun armed QB's is so passive. At least force the guy to make a throw. If he makes the throws, well at least you challenged the guy and forced him to make a play. Don't just hand it over. Nobody in his eyes, first read usually wide open with DB's sagged off 15 yards.

Collaros playing absolutely terrified in this 2nd half.

Zach not helping Zach.

Lots of space to escape there, weird to see Collaros so locked in the pocket.

Don't force it.

Haba also blows contain on rollout just busting right up inside the tackle with no regard to where ball is.

Jesus, what a stupid play by Hamilton.

When did we use timeout?

He reminds me of a lot of the Daley era DB's taking a 15 yard cushion because they were too slow to read the play or too slow moving to do anything else.

I mean they could even just use Cole and Clements to play that 3-4 style edge too and not get stuck with 4 guys on the line with a DT playing outside the tackle.

Hamilton going conservative. Houston still out there.

Another play off the backside by Kramdi on Butler.

Jefferson has never been an every down guy. He's a luxury 2/3 of snaps kind of guy who's going to make big plays, but you need depth for him to be that guy. Crazy to me this year that we haven't managed that situation along with Jeffcoat's health more actively.

Collaros is so jumpy right now. Hardly getting set to throw.

Powell's arm hit a helmet there too.

Alexander takes a stupid penalty.

Man, throw it away.

Bad, or average? McCrae was bad, like worried the guy was going to muff every punt. Parker is average.

Can't tell because TSN fixated on sideline. OB thinks it's on Hamilton.
