We looked the worst out of any team, and it wasn't close. Not to say it will last, but it really shows how "not ready" we were to play. Yeah the compete level of training camp didn't align with being prepared for Game 1. They had 96 guys on the field 6 days before Game 1. Coaching staff and management might have to check their arrogance about how prepared they are soon.

It’s crazy how in preseason, you were ALL OVER Booch and I for saying some negative things that ended up being entirely true but now that we’re one game in, you’ve got completely off the deep end on the other side of the argument. Our preparedness on offense left a lot to be desired. Zach wasn’t making throws, but those throws also involve rhythm, timing, understanding of blocking assignments, chemistry and a lot more. The whole offense was out of sync and Zach is a big part of that but he’s not entirely to blame. rebusrankin, TBURGESS, WildPath and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 I want to be fair with the last comment I made though: I don’t think our young players were the big problem this past week.

JuranBoldenRules Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 The real **** up with the backs was cutting Rosery. We could manage with him and Augustine. Guarantee if we flip to an American back (who isn't a DI) that we will have a Canadian DL on the field every single snap. voodoochylde, BigBlueFanatic, rebusrankin and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddanger Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Gotta say game 1 was horrifying. Us fans have come to expect a certain level of play, and we were no where near that level. Sitting out most of the veterans was IMO a huge mistake. The offence was terrible, and that's where most of the sitting out hurt us. Glad to see that the CFL has walked-back the chips in the balls for the kickers. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely to happen, coming off an injury it's Brady's health holding him back and getting more reps. is not going to make that better. 50/50 whether he even plays this week, they should probably rest him and make sure he's ready to go for Stamps and Lions in the next few weeks, losing those 2 games would put them squarely behind the 8 ball.

Goalie Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 (edited) Hmm perhaps I having been playing the role of devils advocate. the reality appears to be that the guys who struggled outside of Mitchell and Ford, were indeed the veterans who didn’t really participate in camp very much. Zach, I’m not sure it’s an excuse for the veteran QB tho. Brady? Appears banged up still. Demski? The same. Those 2 you can excuse a bit but if they ain’t healthy then that’s on the coaches for playing them. Schoen even struggled. There’s another in the no camp needed group. Lawler getting hurt kinda early probably played a minor role. Thought Zach got time to throw so OL outside of a couple early whiffs were ok it seemed. I dunno watching on tv I could see Zach staring receivers down, not really looking anywhere else, he’s not a check down QB either so…. When your QB is that bad, is it fair to judge the others? this is what ppl were saying in pre season also just playing Wilson basically. How do you evaluate the group when one guys struggling so much. But Zach had more time to throw than Wilson did in pre season. I dunno. Does Zach the veteran QB need more reps?? It appears he does but he also looked like this a few games last season also. There’s gotta be some concern there.

We went 2 for 1 because we were under the PR limit since it opened. I actually think we will see a bit of roster adjustments in the AR, IR, and PR still.

Last week was on the coaches - full stop. They needed to make evaluations quicker, allow people realistic chances to show what they have (or not have) and then get the team ready to play week one. And I completely agree with JBR on this, cutting Rosery was a mistake (based on the way our roster is made up).
