Jaxson Ford is pretty meh but Reid is the Riders LT. That hurts.

Better not put Micah at LT. We will never hear the end of his greatness. 

Honestly, I have zero expectations from our dl, no matter who they line up against.

Thomas needs to retire

[Goalie]

Tomorrows depth chart will hopefully be the most optimized use of talent and ratio and rules all year. Wallace hopefully back so extra American on I’m sure. 

Zach? I’m hoping like 20 of 25 260 280. 1 td. 1 pick ish but with 20 carries for the Brady train. I actually think our D if used correctly could be the real deciding factor. I don’t expect 6 td Zach. I expect like avg cfl playoff QB play.  I expect our D to dominate and our O to barely get by. Not a lot of faith in buck and the O honestly. Zach has had some good games. Buck has had maybe 3 plays all season where I was like oh that’s a fun set up. I just lack faith in the O. They paid like stars but performed like assTeroids.

I expect Sask to send a lot of pressure like Toronto did when they beat us. Its a worry to me as we waited until halftime to even adjust. Id kill to see Buck throw screens to work around a good rush, adjust on the fly.

That's pretty much what they did in the BB, Zach repeatedly hit Brady swinging out of the backfield, good for 6/60 yds.

Don't think that Zach exists anymore. Would be elated to be proven incorrect.

That receiving corps doesn't exist anymore.

I do not understand the negativity towards Buck and Zach / good journeymen who have been mostly gettin er done ... for half a decade

The O was only better than Calgary and Maier McCheese this season. The O sucked. You can blame injuries but play calling has sucked all year. Our O averaged like 18 points a game for like 13 games. Had a couple glimpses. ( 6 TDS)

Zach has never really been great in a playoff game for us to my best recollection 

[martypants100]

Good enough to win the MVP of the 108th Grey Cup

 

[rebusrankin]

I expect to see at least one Cmon man with the roster later today.

That said, just want a win tomorrow.

[Booch]

win....if we need to win despite of this or that....so be it....as we have had to before....but that well is slowly running dry and as we have seen...we cant overcome like 2..3 yrs ago....that being said...I feel pretty good about this game

ZC is gonna be dialed in, and we are gonna see a couple things on both sides of the ball that we will ask ourselves "where the fack has that been all year?!!?!?"

Man, I hope you're right about this! A little more motion, misdirection on O, a blitz or two on D, less Thomas and Schmekel on at the same time, and, perhaps some trickery on special teams.

That including the obvious Jake and schmek tandem or outside of that?

hopefully no Hallett in for that 2nd extra DB as well....has failed all yr long...why would it change now? time to try someone else....or scrap it if we don't have a better option

I’d guess just BA on for Bridges. Kelly to backup safety and extra DB after Griffin. 
 

Maybe Nick Taylor on if BA can’t go

He’s never been lights out like he can be but he is 7-2 in the playoffs here. 

[bigg jay]

Here we go!

[Booch]

oh my....brutal dline ....pathetic more like it....not having a good feeling here at all now

Wilson as  GTD....tells u he aint ready nd if we start him.....oh my...Osh just Oshin ....again....We gonna see Thomas all fricken game being useless

Hopefully MOP ZC shows up and puts up 30+ points

[Noeller]

My first thought was "aaahhhh jeeze the MBB crew ain't gonna like this...."

[Booch]

Biggest game of year...Remove Cole...Adamas...Woods....insert Wilson who hasnt played practically all yr and isnt healthy...add Taylor who hasnt played at all....and BA who hasnt played much...wtf man

Well this take did not age well. 

[Booch]

Playoff game...gonna be chilly...running is a huge factor...Sask dressing 2 legit guys who can lug ball....and we have had difficulty with run...and pressure....and we dress 6 dlineman...2 of whom are lucky to make any other roster in the league and if did...would get maybe 4 snaps a game?...Remove your best ST in Cole as well as one of more versatile on defense as well as best sideline to sideline guy.....someone explain this logic to me?....unfuckinbelievable

[blue85gold]

I guess the plan is to just not bother to have a Dline (since we can't pass rush anyway) and just drop 11 DBs and LBs into coverage while Jake engages the Oline.

and Armstead and Oullette eat up yards on ground...and clock....and Harris dink and dunks his way up and down field with zero pressure in his face.....hate to say it but unless our offense shots the lights out and controls the time of possession...this may get ugly....

Great plan against a pure pocket passer like TH who seems to enjoy extra steamboats given to him.
