Don't look at the score in the pic.

O'Shea had some beef with Harris and off-season conditioning at the end. Wonder if something similar going on here the way he talked about availability to practice.

Got to watch this one this morning. Crazy how terrible D is at this point in season for most teams. And even more scary that our O has been so bad vs a team like Ottawa.

I'm counting both losses in that category. So they only have a couple more left.

Hopefully it stays in until the morning.

Not going to get targets when most of the time you run your route and then stare into the backfield while the QB is scrambling. They can swap a GTD out up to an hour before kickoff.

They rotate a lot of guys through but I'd be trying to isolate Schoen on Rene/Lokombo as much as possible.

Yeah I don't really think there's a spot for an American LB or DB to be "contributing players." You need guys who are playmakers across the board. Gotta hope they are lined up next to a "contributing player" and not someone who is just going to run by them.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Mitchell get some reps at receiver and maybe Wilson gets sat. Wilson has looked god awful. No indication of any willingness to start and finish plays. If he doesn't start being productive in this game I think he's gotta be done. I can't believe we cut 16 guys that would be worse than him and Mitchell when the lights come on.

The Myron Mitchell era is over.

It's a little overboard to compare guys who are veteran professional football players to a guy who has never played a real game, no?

I wonder why they wouldn't bring Rosery back. Dress him instead of one of the special teamers or the 7th OL or MCI. Then you have a guy that's pretty complimentary to Augustine, more ability in pass game. Well in fairness he was injured bad enough two weeks ago that they cut him. Maybe he's not talking about cardio but the actual injury affecting his readiness to play a game.

Karamoko and Ayers might get some reps. Karamoko has played way more D than Gauthier this season so far. Depending who is up for DBs could play with a dime type guy, really 7 DBs out there if you include the SAM. See a lot more of that now because it can be harder to block up with the ground needed to cover, gives some time to read play for defenders.

Great idea to have a 300 lb guy playing around punting when we’re already down 3 guys in that position group.

They gave all the reps to a Canadian in the 2nd game who they cut. A guy that would actually make a reasonable tandem with Augustine to fill in if Oliviera is down.

Or reliable plays to get 4-6 yards on first down. What works to get that changes based on personnel and strength of the group. Our OL isn't moving anyone in run blocking or holding a pocket for very long so that needs to change the approach until they are changed. Screens, quick stuff. If we're in 2nd and 8-15 the whole game we can't stay on the field or really challenge any defense.

Think Fayad and Smith will be on. Mitchell and someone else will be off, likely Bridges or Ayers.

I'd like to have this problem in a Bomber related sense sooner than later.

Chris Smith be ready to play 80 snaps by Friday.

I don't think you'd see BOLO or Bailey back because they were chasing expanded roles that they wouldn't get here. Bailey would at best be 3rd receiver here. BOLO is stuck behind Demski and Wolitarsky. You would have seen money shift to the D for sure. If anything I think they would have kept Hardrick.

The worst trend in sports merch is the move away from fitted hats to adjustable ones. Hate the adjustable ones.

For some reason Collaros last year in Hamilton popped into my head while driving. 0-8 until finally replaced. Kent Austin kind of similarly stubborn. June Jones switches up the offense to a Run and Shoot look around Masoli and they take off. You'd think at some point he'd realize that he has to be willing to adjust to what the needs of the offense are.

Could give him a look. Wasn’t much of a pass rusher in his first go round here. Think we need someone who can get some pressures off the edge so we don’t have to rely on blitz.

At this point rotate guys through rush end until you find an impact guy. Can’t really know from practice with such little full contact. You can tell pretty quick in games if guys have the burst and are disruptive. If Fayad sucks…call the next guy. Collaros was acquired that week before the injury. Then started the game after vs Calgary.

They are way too focused on going vertical which requires a lot from OL. On top of that some rapport between QB and receivers on where to expect ball, timing etc. That’s what Zach likes. Great if if it’s working, but completely kills passing game when it’s not. Would like to see some adjustment. Can we run some quick stuff? Do we have anyone we can screen to? Demski they do some of the tight bubble ones coming inside. Can we get the ball outside and set up some 1 on 1 situations where we can get a decent gain and maybe a bigger one with one broken tackle? Did some to Lawler vs Montreal once we were down and not moving the ball. Gotta do some work to force defenses to cover whole field and not just clog up vertical and watch us spin our wheels. Receivers are a bit of an issue too. Wilson is looking basically useless. Or they haven’t done a good job of getting him ready to actually play or both.
