Booch Posted September 5, 2023 Report Posted September 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Bigblue204 said: I would have given McCrae 1 more game honestly. It wasn't much, but he did break a decent return against MTL. Maybe that was the start of something...? probably not, but I thought it would have been good to see. Parker was a disappointment imo. Just doesn't look to have that burst that good returners have. That's what I like about McCrae, if given a lane he has the speed to score from anywhere. I'm not sure the same can be said about Parker....he looked flat out slow out there. In all 3 losses, Zach has pushed the ball downfield when shorter throws were there. He's done it every game honestly, but the losses stick out more! lol Actually Parker is prob one of fastest guys on team... 1 hour ago, bustamente said: D line needs reinforcements, they are sucking air in the 4th and not getting close to the qb. It's a mystery how an offence with a top rated qb, top rated running back and a group of receivers like the guys we have are having such a tough time getting on track But but but...some here say that stupid roster decision to dress 6...2 of whom for lack of better word are inadequate is not an issue cause we won 2 cups...last of which is now 2 yrs ago Wanna-B-Fanboy, Piggy 1, JohnnyAbonny and 2 others 5

I realize there are issues in some areas of the roster, and that is going to happen with any team. What bugs me about this loss and the Ottawa loss, is the how they simply founds ways to lose. 3 minutes ago, Booch said: But but but...some here say that stupid roster decision to dress 6...2 of whom for lack of better word are inadequate is not an issue cause we won 2 cups...last of which is now 2 yrs ago Sure.

BigBlue Posted September 5, 2023 Report Posted September 5, 2023 I believe the head butt had more impact than any body has stated so far ... how much ? A lot ... it is a confidence thing ... AND the lack of no one ripping apart said offender ... penalties be damned ... if it were the NHL that guy would have to stay off the ice for that and every subsequent game ie if he did not want to go back to the dressing room in a stretcher ... we are acting like pansies AS to performance by Zach, he has the ghost of injuries past in his head now Further any head shot is going to have an immediate effect ... the finesse disappears as one goes in to overcome mode SHEESH !!! &^%$#$#%^&&*( blue85gold, BigBlueFanatic and Bigblue204 1 2

The yards we gave up on kick returns compared to what we generated DEMANDS a change Effen rights. I think the kick return average was something like 9 yards last game, for them it was over 38.

SpeedFlex27 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 11 hours ago, Booch said: We could conceivably add all 3...or Fox instead of Clements...McRae should sit in favour of Fox/Haba because Parker can return..and really McRae does nothing exceptional for the offence...how many actual reps had he even gotten last 3 games...none of note Booch, Parker was dreadful as a kick returner. McCrae is much more versatile & is a better returner than Parker. Can you see O'Shea dressing Fox? I sure can't.

Things happen. Guys maybe get complacent. Perhaps one of the receivers think the other guy will make a play. Just a lot of reasons for it to happen, They just have to get untracked. I'm hoping the Robertson headbutt will wake this team up & motivate them to put an ass whupping on the Riders on Saturday. bustamente and BaconNBigBlue 2
Pepper_Brooks Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 I'm somewhat let down that the O-line didn't lay down the law on Robertson after that despicable move. On the plus side, we avoided an offsetting penalty and managed to punch it in for a touchdown instead of settling for a field goal. However, it feels like we're lacking that gritty, never-back-down attitude that's been a signature of our top-tier offensive line in recent seasons. I'm starting to think the hogs are showing signs of aging.

What do you think would happen if your gangster would head but Wayne Gretsky? Saskatchewan is more aware of Zach's concussion history than any one... Any concussion can be a career ender for Collaros Least penalized team, outscore them next game, exalt discipline over male protector role = pansy city, a lack of testosterone, and the absence of the right kind of passion lethargy is every where on our club, stand-pat complacency is this year's theme, a total lack of urgency is killing us INSPITE of EXTREME TALENT Pansy City I say ... its why we do not dominate anymore (unless the loser gives up and capitulates) I am tired of having to come back from behind to win ... we are going to see talent migrate JCon 1

Least penalized team, outscore them next game, exalt discipline over male protector role = pansy city, a lack of testosterone, and the absence of the right kind of passion I'd love for you to provide a single example of a football team retaliating against a player that emphasizes your point. Name one instance of a tough guy football team getting their star player messed with, followed by the team retaliating on the field, followed by 'earned respect' or their players otherwise no longer being messed with. Can you do that? I sincerely doubt it. Maybe you'll have to keep referring to an entirely different sport, and a player that retired a quarter-century ago. Bigblue204 1
Booch Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 Brady was actively trying to deter any lineman from doing anything..and to be honest not sure most if anyone actually saw it..Kolo and Dobson possibly as they both came over immediately But Brady had sense to try and deter any secondary penalties to take advantage of the ball position and scoring chance Smart 8 hours ago, SpeedFlex27 said: Booch, Parker was dreadful as a kick returner.

17to85 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 Parker probably a more useful roster piece than mccrae overall, but as a punt returner he offered less than mccrae has. Neither one is a good enough option there. Bombertown, Tracker and Bigblue204 3

Let’s face it, neither is in the same universe as Grant, and O’Shea will show him that loyalty you seem to hate and give Parker another chance this week if the coach’s show comment is to be believed, but he was hardly the saviour you’ve been touting with your weekly rants for the past 6 games. And Parker also made the single biggest gaffe on coverage teams when he tripped his own player. He was not good last game, and was less of a difference maker in the secondary than McCrae has been on offence, and that is a low bar. But hey, one game. Let’s see how he does this week. voodoochylde, Bigblue204 and Tracker 3

You not trying to make changes...then you ain't trying...like I've said in other posts they should have been auditioning true returners...but back to what u are alluding to...Osh seems to think everyone is a number one and can do it.. especially if they been here a while...which we have seen is obviously not the case Fact of the matter...save for the majority of our starters...our depth/role guys are not top teir anymore Tracker 1

I think the lack of retalliation on Robertson by our O-line was probably due to the expectation that he would be ejected, fined and suspended for an appropriate time by the league. The Bombers were behind at the time and needed to keep their cool and not take a reaction penaty. Fatty Liver, coach17, bearpants and 1 other 4
