Not at his peak. He's played very well, but hes not taking games over like Schoen did in his prime. He is very much playing like Schoen did early in his rookie year

On the Defense, there is zero attitude. I keep hearing about Kramdi being an ******* to play against but I've yet to see any kind of fight from him. They get punched in the mouth and just take it. Lawson FINALLY showed some "**** this ****" when he took a RTP penalty. But outside of that, this Defense is as soft as any I can remember seeing. Nichols is officially toast. I didn't mind them bringing him back, but it's pretty obvious he has lost a step. He's just always 1 step behind now and Fajardo picked on him all night long. They also looked like they had zero urgency. Multiple times not only were they late to get lined up, but almost missed getting lined up all together. There is no accountability at all from what I can see. Offense, same thing when it comes to attitude. Farjardo gets tackled/sacked etc he has multiple Olineman sprint to his side, not walk, not jog, those boys were moving to get to him. Collaros gets sacked and maybe 1 guy helps him out. That is always a personal red flag for me. Signals there is something wrong there...and I don't mean they don't like Collaros or there is any relationship issue...there's just, i don't know...entitlement issue...if that makes sense. It's not good anyway. Execution is 100% on coaching imo. Hot routes aren't being integrated? Can they bring Milt in to teach these guys wtf they should be doing when the Defense brings 8? Castillo, nice guy but as others have said. His consistency has been lacking for at least 1 season now...is he the worst kicker in the league statistically right now? I'm not sure but he's gotta be close. Overall, I'm more upset about this loss than the Hamilton one. They looked like they thought they were owed that win. They just had to show up and it was theirs.

Dinwiddie just talks in circles. When asked directly if Browns arm strength was an issue "A little bit of it has to do with arm strength, obviously, and some mechanics that lead into arm strength. You look at last year, there wasn't a lot of opportunities to push the ball down field" Then he goes on what they want to do this year....."it was one thing that we wanted to get changed this year, so schematically we put that in our play-action stuff. Now does the defence give us those looks? We've gotta be able to start running the football and be able to push the ball down the field." It kinda reads that he's blaming dru's arm strength for the lack of down field passing last year....then also recognizing that THIS year they need to run the ball to open the deep pass....did he not watch Ott last year at all? Their run game was invisible....

on a MOS team? not gonna happen I'm seeing exactly 1 person give him the benefit of doubt. Sticking with Maier will 100% backfire on Dinnwiddie and he'll be stuck starting a never was in MBT with little to no hope for the future.

T Philpot

And a bit less than the BB staff.

That's true. But when given time to throw and a competent running game, he's shown he can lead an offense fairly well. Ottawa was a dumpster fire for many reasons and it wasn't all on the QB.

Twitterse people saying OTT is signing MBT....lol

Not answer. But hes been good at SY.

TE has a finger nail injury. He'll be on the IR

This is something that I think gets forgotten or overlooked by many here.

Disagree. The games didnt start as sell outs. I specifically remember being happily surprised as attendance numbers grew. The year before the bombers were losing but were close and the crowds took a while to realize the team was legit.

Maier was given every opportunity to win today. He cant throw the deep ball to save his life. Dru must just be steaming mad watching this

Thats not a huge deficit for a half of CFL ball. And you need to keep mitchell off the field.

I believe its you that is mis-remembering. They averaged over 29k that season. Not that I think swaggerville was anywhere near the 2021 juggernaut. But swagerville sold tickets in 2011. I mean....Jefferson has lived here year round for more than half a decade...no passport, but...come on.

Not surprised that Hamilton won, a little surprised at how Rourke looked. Thought he'd still put up a fight. He didn't have a lot to work with, but damn...and Buck still refuses to run the ball.

ya, even if the wheels completely fall off this year. Outside of a 1-17 record...both are staying until likely well into year 3. I'd be surprised if it was any sooner

Polk

I'm not advocating for this in anyway. But we do now have a legit HC in waiting on the staff in Condell.

4 out of 5 starting WRs had over or near 100 yards last week. But because the #5 guy didn't....that's a problem? As of right now, he's on pace for just under 500 yards, which is essentially Wolly type numbers. What else do you expect from a #5 wr? "Defences don't respect him" isn't an argument. It's your opinion. And while there may be some truth to it, if Defences didn't care about him, they wouldn't be covering him and the rest of the WR core would be impacted. The O can not spread the ball around like it has been, without the defences covering the entire field. Which is the point I was making, the WRs working together to get each other open. You decided to cherry pick the individual state line...I was talking the stat sheet of the WR core. lol wtf does that even mean? This might be the lamest attempt at tough guy internet talk I've ever come across.

Check the stat sheet. That's literally what happened.

Thats assuming he wanted to be kept around. Some guys want to actually play and not wait around for an injury. Especially when they know they are starting quality players and there's a need on multiple teams. Why would Randolph stay? Mos say said on the coaches show they offered multiple PR spots to players who chose not to stay. Guys bet on themselves sometimes. And as others have mentioned, the Offense is in no way a problem. Unless Randolph can play DT I dont see how his presence changes anything.

At half time the ticats 2nd down conversion rate was just under 75%. That's absurd.

The turning point was the INT by Collaros (which was a horrible decision on his part. Like shockingly bad). I'm not saying Collaros is the reason we lost, but when your D can't stop anything or anyone, you just can't afford a turnover in scoring position. Our O did play well enough for us to win. Our D would have lost the game to some U sports teams. No run defense, couldn't stop the same damn thing over and over and over. Hamiltons passing game consisted of running to the sticks and turning around, and waiting for one v one on the outside and letting the Rec play fetch. Maybe the worst pass defense I've seen in 10+ years. It was embarrassing. No one seemed to know what was happening multiple times and the DL wasn't relevant at all because it was 4 vs 6 basically all night. As others have said, our LBs are essentially pathetic. Jones/Wilson can't tackle in open space and can barely tackle with help. Jones is awful in pass coverage but he's trotted out there time and time again in those situations. Milanovach made JY his ***** and completely exposed his defense all night.
