I really don't see a scenario where he and WIllie could be on the field at the same time. We'd get gashed badly by any QB who had a moderate football IQ. We need a guy who gets off the line and disrupts the pocket. Not more guys who play basketball defense on a football field.

Either way keep your hands on the table.

Montreal should have played for the win. Tie does nothing to help them toward clinching 1st in East, same as a loss. Ottawa has to win 3 more games then them to get first. 4 if they (Montreal) wins in Calgary.

Basically had no ability to execute in intermediate passing game which is the lifeblood of a pro offense.

And the time before that when we lost to Toronto it was Arbuckle carving us up.

Edmonton spent over a million dollars on free agent receivers and OL heading into 2022 and 2023 each year. Sask's 1-2 receivers were Bane and Emilus for Dolegala and their OL continued to be bad. Dolegala is demonstrably a better passer.

Cornelius has never played a stretch of games anywhere close to as well as Dolegala did last year with Sask in 9 starts over his parts of 3 seasons as Edmonton's starter. And he had a way better surrounding cast.

Mahomes was **** on for being a spread guy and playing at a middling Big 12 program that he didn't really elevate that much. He kind of broke that mold.

In the amount of time you have before the line is on you if you can't accept it and make a play....really hard to learn. Like in a football season we spend hours and hours and hours on QB centre exchange in tons of drills that don't have a live D. At any type of competitive level you couldn't just be like "damn this guy is athletic, let's play him at QB on Friday" if the guy has zero experience with it.

I mean...if they are heading to Winnipeg they are signing here. He's not a running back and never has been. He's more of a receiver/tight end type.

Dolegala would be my top choice. Then Cornelius. If price is decent on Shiltz I'd make a run at him too. Bring in 2 guys. Shiltz can run the heavy set. Have another guy who can pass.

Our Canadians as a group on the OL are probably the worst in the entire league right now. It would be between us and Sask. We have 3 TD's of 24 not scored by the O. 1 by the D, 2 on special teams fumble recoveries. That's 88% on O, 12% any other way. So not quite what you're spewing here. We did have teams that had historic takeaway records from 2016-2022. This team is nowhere near that. D is not taking the ball away.

The leading running back in the whole league for TD's has 5. On pace for like 8 over a full 18 game season. Streveler leads league in rushing TD's with 10. They don't get TD's because if the ball is from basically the 3 yard line in teams are putting short-yardage QB's in.

There's actually 3 stairwells on both sides in the 200s that basically no one uses. We go out that way and are usually the only people in them. Also can use them to navigate to concessions and back to seats if you're in the top half of the 200s.

Both are free agents.

This kind of one man pocket disruption is what we need.

Bombers ended up +5 on penalties there so just a typo. Looks like they added the 15 from Sask penalty to the 10 from ours to get the 25 yards.

Would like to see Haba cut and a couple edge rushers brought in during this bye. We have absolutely nothing in terms of pressure or explosiveness on the edge. It's like a half speed scrimmage for opposing OT's. Jefferson is reading QB eyes trying to disrupt passing lanes, hardly ever actually rushes these days. Could see after the one Sask march he must have got **** and came out next drive actually trying to press the pocket a bit. Personally I like what Hall did the last few years using Willie more in the middle of the line with his length reading QB eyes. On the edge at this point he's not very impactful. Teams know what's coming and just work around it or away from it. Garbutt is very steady, assignment sound. No pressure. Like him for when we play someone like Ford. Has a role to play here but in concert with a guy opposite him on the boundary side who is more of a pure rusher.

10 yard penalty for objectionable conduct. Only 25 yard penalty is disqualification. They should move the Rum Hut to the tailgate area connected to stadium. Put some screens out there. People standing there aren't watching the game anyway and in old stadium weren't either. They'd hear something happen, watch the replay. Fine to have that party going but creates a giant chokepoint on the already narrow concourse.

Brown is definitely dirty. Just a coincidence that the same DL is involved in 3 illegal hits on QB's leading to injury when there hasn't been another hit on a QB in the pocket by anyone else like this in the CFL this season? All those other guys just suck that bad and Brown is so great and powerful or what? In either of the hits on our QB's if he engages to tackle it's a non issue. He's out there targeting prone QB's with intent to injure. Why the **** are you rolling around like a bowling ball? Streveler is clearly set to pass. The rules are pretty clear where you can hit QB's. If your target is low because of being blocked it's on you to change it or avoid the contact. You don't get to just treat the QB like a pin at the end of the lane and jam your shoulder pad under the kneecap. Why the **** are you tucking your arms back when you're coming at a QB in his throwing motion? "Oh I was just trying to turn my shoulder into him and just happened to drive my helmet into his facemask." He's out there trying to injure people and is out of control. And it will cost the Riders eventually. Luckily for them the past two weeks other penalties both ways basically made his fouls moot.

Hasn't played much past couple seasons. The more he played the less comfortable he looked in terms of being able to hit guys on time intermediate and vertical. IMO Dolegala is better. Arbuckle is basically a junior QB coach on the roster for Dinwiddie...not sure anyone wants to use him for any significant stretch.

If he gets injured we are absolutely ******. Especially with the current (and future) state of the OL. We probably can't roster more than 1 American back easily. I think we'd have a better shot of competing with Collaros down than Oliviera.

Just remember there's about a half dozen agents that negotiate most of the contracts and they want their guys playing if they are able to. There's not a lot of guys dying on the vine if there's somewhere for them to play. Also the money aspect. They are paying real money and salary management space to Shiltz if he comes off 6 game. Money in both aspects they could use to re-sign someone they actually want to keep into 2025 and lower their burden on their 2025 budgets to open up space for more moves. Shiltz basically has no value to them so ship him off for a lottery ticket. They are basically crashing out of the playoff race. Are they going to put Shiltz on the field? Probably not. They are going to try to rehabilitate Maier who still has guaranteed money or move to a guy with potential to be something more than Shiltz could be.

Oliviera is our entire offense. Don't think anyone in his realm TD or not.

Yeah and Sask took the ball so we had the wind in the 2nd quarter...the long quarter of the first half.
