    I really felt like Buck's offence didn't do a particularly good job of spreading the field laterally. I would like to see more commitment to that. He loved to stretch the field vertically with his play calling and that was good, but we really went away from the sweeps in the run game and passes into the flats in the last couple years and that keeps the DE's and OLBs honest. I get that we ran a ton of rookies last year but backfield motion was really at a low point too.

    I can’t wait till yall sign Jake Ceresna and MOS makes him rotational because it’s not his favourite Jake on the roster.

    I love Zach and his game but how many times did I see on those long interceptions into double coverage when they showed the reply they had a wide open guy around the first down yardage marker. It seems like mid season because of necessity we had to switch to throwing quicker short passes, but as soon as our receiving core got healthier and our line started playing better he went back to the deep ball. Worked great against Saskatchewan but terribly against a good secondary like Toronto’s.

    I'd say Zach's mobility has decreased significantly in the last 2 seasons, which maybe due to age, sustained injuries, or adding more muscle mass increasing his weight. Certainly doesn't look as quick as he once did.

    I couldn't help but laugh... but don't even joke about that!! Give me a 3-4 front featuring Willie, Adams and Ceresna please...
  6. Yeah I don't have a lot of time for the 7 OL stuff. They roll that 1st and 10 or 2nd and short-medium mostly. But you'll see backs and receivers filling in if they go max protect on a passing down. Most of the time we had OL in there and they struggle in pass pro off the edge anyways. It only helps the run if the defense shorts themselves on the play side. OC needs to impress on Collaros that he has to manage blitzes better and hit hot routes. But you also need to design plays that give that option. Bombers with Buck Pierce would run some quick hitter stuff but a lot of plays you're looking and the only outlet is Oliviera who also might be in there trying to give Collaros space to attempt a vertical throw. The other thing we might see is more of a commitment to the zone run game and maybe a little less trust on having a guy just make a play. Hit the target and go or make one cut at the target. Let's get 5 yards every play.

    Buck+Zach= 2 QB's with short attention spans and little patience, due to the number of concussions they accumulated. The "go big or go home" mantra makes for lazy football, along with "it works or it doesn't" results. Hopefully the next OC butts heads with Zach a bit more, seems to have eventually worked out for BLM once Milanovich convinced him to read the field from short to long, instead of long to short. Old dogs can learn new tricks.

    They all are. Both halletts, kornelson, samson, schmekel, Thomas all of em. Not on any other team but here. Not starters capable of competing. Not better than any imps. But yeah they all starters. If cut maybe, maybe one guy gets another offer. But they all starters.

    I think we need to accept the fact...he could.....and now when he tries a lot of times results in a pick....he's definitely trending the wrong way and I'm somewhat concerned how he plays this yr, and the fact that if he is hurting the team, or just not "Zack" anymore you-know-who will ignore it...deny it...make excuses for it...and in the end just ride him into another disappointment when it matters and not allow anyone to develop behind him...let alone get real reps so that if we need them to play....they have a good grasp of things and we actually know what they can do...and what they cant you know as an opposition coach that they are totally scheming and game planning for ZC to force it to his "go to guys" as it's obvious he will ignore others...especially newer guys....basically luring him right into it....why wouldn't they as they know his tendancies It's also baffling our coaches don't see it.....or if they do...do something about it....tell ZC to take their bait....influence them to where they know it usually goes with a look or a pump, then hit the wide open guy....its simple coaching but we avoid the simple and obvious for the old and worn out it worked before mindset....so lets just keep hammering away at that to no avail....our coaching too many times has been our demise...and there been no accountability for it by upper management....or anyone accepting and admitting faut and that "yeah....maybe we could have went about it differently"....I have never heard an instance where we have admitted we fackked things up

    You don't want to stifle Zac's game too much because what makes Zac great is that he can extend a play like no other. However, he does need to settle in sometimes and take the 5 yards. It's a balancing act for sure but a lot of Zac's "bullheadedness' in holding the ball so long the last couple years was a direct result of Buck's game plan and have no outlet for him to go to.

    So often Zach’s lack of time was because of pressure straight into his face… Kola was either getting toasted or run over. Having extra guys in to block isn’t going to change that.

    you can also use different protection packages with 5 guys and maybe a reciever...slide protections....moving the launch points...sprint outs...etc.....the insistance we need to over load with the extra oline guys is not necessarily a good thing...it also removes 2 potential targets for the QB to use and just begs for him to throw into multiple coverage...and look at ZC's picksthe last 2 yrs since we have relied on this game in and game out...they have gone up....we consistently shoot ourselves in the foot with insistence to not adjust or change our mind sets....and just keep thinking i twill work because it did before...thats a bad coaching mindset which can be said for the last 3 yrs in other areas too....and a bit of it is slipping into yr 4 now as well actually colon 😁

    Extremely rare for a Canadian university talent to play in the senior bowl, and he’s the first QB to ever do so from a Canadian university.

    The 2nd half of the TO game near the end of the season was maybe the best adjustments Buck made in his time here. They came out in the 3rd and marched the ball down the field with quick passes and runs. That's what got them back into that game and I'm completely baffled they went away from that in the GC.

    Yea...thus the need for our OC to adjust. I don`t believe that Buck did that well. I`m not defending Zac, but Buck needed to adjust to Zac`s aging and he did not. If you are going to roster a 35+ year old QB then you gotta adjust as he ages and change the dynamics of what you are asking him to do. Perfect example is Harris in Saskatchewan. Guy can`t be touched without breaking so they changed how he is to QB based on that and developed a system that allows him outlets to get rid of the ball quicker while still moving the chains. If we are going to try roll out 2019 Zac every game we are not really being fair to him or the team at this point. Zac can be very productive still, but he needs an offence that evolves with him.

    Lack of extension pushing the feeling and the way Chevy talked the other day he's not likely to bring it up during the season. The Chevy way is UFA okay.

    Time to get rid of Ehlers because he’s sick and may not play? That’s a bit over the top.

    Good to see Lambert potentially get another look, but not at the expense of Ehlers.

    Miller's Meats has a nice variety of sauces, rubs, and marinades that they rotate in and out throughout the year. I haven't gone in a few years but I believe Luxe's (the place where you can buy BBQ's and smokers) also had a large variety of sauces when I last went. I find that most Superstores/Sobeys/Safeway carry the same old stuff and have a very small section for "gourmet" or different BBQ sauces.

    who's worse tho? Not trying to be a penicular device....justwondering who you think is....I'd go as far as saying maybe Godbar in Sask, maybe....if anything they at par but Godbar doesnt get bullied back into the QB's lap as often this here along with the post above.......or his inabilty to recognize abd pickup the stunt or twist...

    Famous Dave's BBQ sauce is drink worthy(Sweet & Zesty and Rich & Sassy). The restaurant itself has gone down hill and is pretty awful now which is a shame. They do sell the sauces at the restaurant but its crazy expensive. Always stock up when we go to the U.S.

    Stanley sucks. There’s no reason for him to be the Damian Jackson of this team. I hope they just trying to build him up so they can move him out. But I’m seriously concerned they think hes good and has more potential than he does. Painfully slow.
