Define bad. Sure isn't a shut-down performance and this is against a crap Sask offense. 

Alexander & Fogg being targeted the most surprise.

Not really - they were the strong side HB & CB. Sayles at weak side halfback is right behind them.

Then why is our best CB Randle on the weak side? Don't most throws go to the weak side?

I'm not an expert, but I do know that the strong side linebacker has a lot of coverage responsibility and basically plays as a 6th DB. 

My bad, it depends which side has more receivers lined up on it, it can be the right or the left depending on the formation.

I believe in the NFL it's also where the side where tight end lines up.

Depends on the width of the field usually in a general sense.  The wider side is the strong side, shorter side is weak.  A Corner wouldn’t stay near the sideline if all the receivers are bunched closer to the ball though and there’s lots of offensive formations where the strong side LB might line up past the weak side LB on the weak side to match a certain receiver or back.

You could be right.
