Posted October 16, 20213 yr comment_531771 Now that we are in the playoffs it's time to get McGuire in there for meaningful game-speed reps. Why would you want to expose Zach to more risk than necessary with a patched-up O line? Let Collaros start the next four games for sure, but get McGuire in there too. Let him get his timing down and sync-up a bit with our receivers. Let him run the O. How does he handle the pressure? Look what happened in 2007 when Kevin Glenn went down in the final quarter of the West Final. A really strong Blue Bombers team goes to the Grey Cup - and loses - because the No. 2 QB, Ryan Dinwiddie - was not given any playing time during the season.
October 16, 20213 yr comment_531772 I am sure he will get more chances to play should we lock up first place. We haven't yet.

I imagine the last game maybe two could see some pre season treatment where he gets half a game or so. Brady and augustine may start at that point to keep Harris healthy. Maybe gray gets a game too.

We need to clinch the West division first by beating the Leos next week. Then he can have majority of the snaps on all remaining games. Edited October 16, 20213 yr by M.O.A.B.
October 16, 20213 yr comment_531781 Actually we need to win one more game and have Calgary lose one. If we only win one and Calgary wins out and beats us by 3, we're second. That said, support see Mcguire getting some reps.

I have a feeling it might be the year with the way he was limping. But I hope not. 4 minutes ago, rebusrankin said: Actually we need to win one more game and have Calgary lose one.

Calgary can only get to 9 wins.

If it had been serious he wouldn't have been standing on the side line. He said going off he was OK too. I think it was more preventative keeping him out. They might keep him out next week if it stays tight and slows him down. If we clinch the west final we probably see him used sparingly in the last few weeks. But I doubt he would want to stay out.

He had a brace on under his pants and was still limping on the sideline. Could be a ligament...is my worry anyway.
October 16, 20213 yr comment_531796 I wouldn't mind seeing the Streveler treatment. Letting him get a first down on the sneak and then keep him in there for a hurry up rep - if the coaching staff thinks he can handle it. 29 minutes ago, wbbfan said: Looked to me like he just tweaked his hamstring and maybe knee.

I honestly expected him out for the next series. Not worried at all at the moment.

Has had the brace all season. Pretty precautionary in my opinion considering he rarely even practices this year. He walked off the field.. stayed on the sidelines.. long term likely means stays in the room Edited October 16, 20213 yr by Goalie
October 16, 20213 yr comment_531799 The way he planted off balance and jammmed it I would say if anytbing it's just an MCL strain... definitely wasn't Acl and nothing was torn.. And I sure he has a high pain threshold and that can be played through with a brace and not be limiting for his style of running. I almost certain he sits vs BC and then has the bye and will be back in next game..prob won't practice week but won't need to anyway. Get Brady some extra work and be sharper for the cold weather football coming up..be nice to get Augustine some reps too

October 16, 20213 yr comment_531809 Once we clinch a spot then I'd like for the remaining games that they mix it up similar to how Streveler would come in and give McGuire several series per game. I'm ok with losing some games at the end of the year.
October 17, 20213 yr comment_531928 Last thing you want to do is take your foot off the gas and just play out the stretch… that’s something the 2001 team did… I’d say get all the back up in only if game circumstances allow it (ideally up by a lot)… only exception is the final game of the season… get the back ups a lot of work in the second half of that one… other exception is any injury to Collaros… no matter how small, take him out
October 17, 20213 yr comment_531929 I only want McGuire coming into games that are already decided. Our O needs to find their rhythm again. Too much time between our last game and hosting the West Semi-final or West Final.
October 17, 20213 yr comment_531931 Our O hasn't been good for a couple of games, and have issues to work out, so now is not the time to be working in back up's.
October 17, 20213 yr comment_531975 I'm on the play McGuire side. I don't ever want to see a repeat of the Dinwiddie Grey Cup.
October 17, 20213 yr comment_531979 Totally agree on McGuire....he needs the reps.....I don't think the short yardage td machine get's it done without meaningful reps. at all phases of the game....I know he can throw.....he just needs to get into a pattern and a rythym with our receivers to fill out his game.....Besides giving Collaros a break it's a good move.....As far as Harris goes....I know that he's chasing goals and that every game means a lot to him but I'm sure he'd agree his health and the team comes first..............
October 17, 20213 yr comment_531981 I like the streveler treatment idea. Give him some series here and there.
October 17, 20213 yr comment_531984 They have been throwing in some Strev packages for McGuire but two weeks ago he ****** the dog and tossed an INT, so they might be a little gun shy...
