My biggest concern heading into this one is the receiving corps.  Do we have enough guys who can be reliable and make plays if Sask loads up on the run?  Sask plays a ton of zone so need to be smart and disciplined with that too.  We basically have one backup playmaker who is also our returner and busted the hell up with a significant groin injury.

Wolitarsky himself accounted for 6 first downs in the LDC/Banjo Bowl. 

Oliviera didn't crack 50 yards rushing in any of the 3 games vs Sask this year. 129, 51, 103 were his yards from scrimmage vs Sask.  They aren't going to let him beat them.  This is a game where you need to move the ball through the air.

I not concerned there...ZC knows how to attack the Sssk backfield....and when you have a Lawler...and a Demski.....you can't go wrong there....openings will open up for others...Hopefully they utilize Whitehead more to know the spots to go to...especially when things break down...plus Sask defenders will have to respect him out there

I'm hoping that BO and the OL let them know that they may not have a choice with that regardless of what they want and how they scheme. Or at the very least, establish the run somewhat so they can't just pin their ears back and head toward ZC.

Playoffs is a whole different beast that I hope benefits us more than them.

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'm sorry, you lose but you'll receive your consolation prize tomorrow evening around 8ish.

Yes, the one where Collaros was the best player on the field.

I would add where he moved the offense to help SC kick those 6 field goals.

This place is going to be so happy when Collaros, Walters and MOS are gone.

[Bigblue204]

Adams off the DL. Haba still on. Wilson(LB) listed as GTD which just seems dumb. Taylor on for Bridges. 7 OL dressed. They better run the ball early and often!

[Bigblue204]

Riders dressing 8 DL.

At least both Hallets are on the roster..................

Cole moved to the IR, which I believe is a healthy scratch.

Cole especially. Holly crap the guy is just magnetic to the football making plays. If he was Canadian, white and drafted in the sixth round he would be an O’Shea favourite!

I realize this was tongue and cheek... but please keep race out of it. This post is implying that Coach O'Shea is a racist. Not cool at all.

I am curious though in what the BB's specific plan is for our QB situation once ZC exits stage right.

Sounds like Cole and woods are hurt. Adams appears to be overrated by some as the DL wasn’t good with him either. Taylor is mind boggling. Alexander makes sense if he’s healthy. Wilson can **** off. Get hurt on play 1 this time instead of pre game.

Adams isn't a one man show on the DL, but what he is, is a very versatile piece that can do a lot of things. Vs. Some of the one trick ponies we have whose trick isn't even that good.

Cole isn't hurt...just put there in case we lose so he not a FA being on PR

Yep, we lose and he's not on the active roster or IR, then he's a FA.  I'd expect to see a lot of these moves for guys they want to keep around.

[17to85]

I dunno, I find it really easy to believe Cole has some kind of injury given he was dinged up a few times recently. The whole hurt vs injured thing of course I just don't find it THAT surprising. He is a guy spent more than his share of time on the IR this year. 

Love the guy, very good player I'd keep him on the roster for sure.... but in this case I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to the coaches. 

[Bigblue204]

If Wilson is a GTD and cant go....and assuming Cole isn't hurt....can Cole be activated in time for the game to replace Wilson?

lets just say this...I train and work out with a lot of the players....I have a good handle and knowledge of what's what and can assure you he is good to go...but out of his hands...team may "claim" otherwise....but this is plain and simple a coaches choice.

I alluded to it before that last yr as well...several guys were good to go...for weeks...before getting a sniff...One player well over a month....and there is frustration about it....but what can you do other than look like the bad egg?

Alo someone mentioned Adams is over rated here?...funny comment, but hardly true....and to suggest that Thomas...Schmeck...even Haba offers more is laughable....on this team at times players get caught up in the Osh numer's game....and it's not a game that is restricted by ratio...etc...it's Osh personal belief's and preference....believe it if you want...or don't....

any player can be that we have available....and if Cole is inserted it just confirms it was a biased Osh being Osh decidion to begin with.....but he will likely dress Randolph as an 8th oline guy or something stupid like that....haha....or Bridges
