MOS knows the importance of backing his players and it will pay off.  You don't point fingers when your struggle, you band together.  Strev has his limits to be sure but let's hope he goes back to emergency only mode soon. He could be valuable come playoff time when its cold, miserable and you need a grinder.  Like Ritchie, MOS lives and dies with his vets, the glue of the room.  One more week for Sterns and Parker imo.  Play it safe, key vet cogs in the Bomber wheel.

The players play, and it's time they play well.

Dave Ritchie famously hung onto his vets too long. Not sure that is who any coach wants to be.

Hall of fame coach Dave Ritchie who won 108 games and two Grey Cup rings? Always liked him. Great character and hilarious with his vocabulary full of butchered words.

But I get your point, MOS is loyal to a fault. Strev is the glaring example that is killing us at the moment. And it will likely soon get worse when he lets Collaros come back too soon because his vets get to choose when they come back from injury. Could go from ugly to uglier and unsafe.

Who is more popular than the second string quarterback? The third string quarterback. And he gets my vote for next game starter.

During drills, he gets as much work as anyone else. The receivers rotate so everyone throws to everyone.

During scrimmage, he gets 2-3 reps at the end, once or twice a practice. During these weeks where he's back-up, he's obviously getting all the second string reps.

Thanks!
