Do you really think Dobson played at an all star level? Not asking what the voters thought btw. ( they both arent great but Kolo is under contract )

I think its nothing that a strong guard wouldn't fix, Dobson has been inconsistent and your right in that Kolo isn't strong enough to make up for it, but he's not as bad as some would make out.

We\ve got Bryant who hopefully has one more year in him, Neufeld who is also aging, Dobson is a free agent..... Kolo is the least of our worries

Pretty much, Younger wants the defensive ends to keep the qb in the pocket and push forward. Which is a good idea for qbs such as VA and Ford, but with Harris and MBT not so much. We do need to come up with better blitz packages when we need to so that we are not so predictable. Our team as a whole is too predictable especially in the playoffs where the better teams have studied our tendencies. On offence its very seldom we run a play where you can say that was a great game plan. Most of the time we just rely on the athleticism of our receivers or Brady. This year especially Buck has regressed in his play calling we use less motion and misdirection than most teams.

Dickenson in Calgary has basically thrown every other coach under the bus to keep his coaching job, How they let him maintain 2 roles when its repeated been shown that it doesn't work is the definition of insanity Have lost a lot of respect for dickenson. (just watch him hire is brother as a coach, (already a consultant)) Calgary Stampeders part ways with coordinators Mark Kilam, Brent Monson - 3DownNation

Its the same problem as when a fumble occurs and the refs let it play through. They call it a fumble even though that is not what they actually saw, and because of the ruling on the field it cant be overturned cause it needs clear and obvious evidence to overturn. To me the answer is on both potential fumble and interceptions the play needs to be reviewed using slow motion etc to get call right. The clear and obvious criteria is good for pass interference and other infractions as the officials call them as they actually see it

One thing im our favor is I think Collaros has taken a stronger leadership role the last few games, doing what it takes to get the W such as running for first downs, holding others accountable etc In previous playoff games he has been tentative

Maybe ,but the fact is, we were still in it with only 2 points difference. So lets not make it sound like we were outplayed. Total yards, 1st down TOP was all very close. Had we made the most of our red zone chances it wouldn't have been close

Appreciate the background on Cole, but I still feel Griffen is better able to read offences and support other dbs.

not sure that Cole is a great cover guy at safety, but I do like the idea of Griffin in at that spot. He's got good speed and football sense as well as a good tackler. would really make our secondary even more formidable

Hopefully some of the mdp and mop votes get split between Beverette and Milligan, so Brady can get mop. The thing is Brady actually had a better year last year and didn't win (which was robbery)

either that or Randolph is taking his spot and they continue with Bridges

Suitor is almost intolerable. Between the talk of 2022 Rourke and his pumping up of his favorites ie Lee (who was awful tonite) Milligan and Rourke, hes single handedly making tsn broadcasts suck

Bo looked good in the 2nd half against BC Hopefully we can make him look like 1st half Bo The key against him has always been keep him from settling in the pocket and gaining momentum. Willie needs to be a factor, which he hasn't lately when playing Hamilton

getting paid is what gets them happier

redundant was probably the wrong word.. just meant there is only one football having 4 stud receivers means that to keep each happy your just taking away catches from another

The trouble is when you spend that money on one position you sacrifice at another. Having Wilson,Wheatfall,Wolitarski demski plus either Schoen or Lawler is pretty good to me especially if it gives you 125k to spend elsewhere

I think we make a choice: either lawler or shoen, with wilson and wheatfall on rookie deals we could use the cap savings on dline (whoever is the best deal) Theres only one football so having 4 stud recievers is redundant.

The real need is to upgrade the dt position, as currently we dont have a great alternative. How good would it have been to sign Oakman? My main point is with current roster Younger is playing who he feels is best I do agree we aren't nearly aggressive enough to replace vets that are downtrending

What i saw was every time Woods was on he was getting manhandled and pushed out of position leaving gaps for Rankin to plough through. When you run a three man front the tackles job isnt as much to make the tackle its to eat up the blockers so lb can get clear shot. Thomas is not a mike rose but our options at dt arent great. Younger has full control over personnel on any given play and its obvious what his choice was, even with 4 man rush woods was being handled.Take a look at Rankins run at the 13 minute in 2nd qtr and you'll see what I mean. A lot of Rankins run were thru the right side of their line.

Dont know if you watched last game but Thomas outplayed woods. Younger by all accounts is a good defensive mind, hes gonna play the players that give him the best chance to win

Its also likely that Randolph sees reps in place of Dobson, or Neufeld. The depth chart often seems to reflect players seniority vs actual game time The key to our offence isnt the recievers, its giving Zac enough time to make plays. I think Elks can be beat with mid to deep passes.

doesn't Collaros look10lbs lighter at that time than he is now? His mobility this year seems less.

Having Lucky on offence seemed to open up things more for our offence. Hes been good on sweeps at critical moments and adds a lot of options. On kick returns at least hes runnong north south .

Dimwiddie is complaining about not getting calls . ironic since he beat us cause of several blown calls, including trying to take a timeout with none left and not getting penalized
