Quote from: tlf on August 15, 2026, 08:41:55 PMThe broadcast on CJOB said it seemed like he got the wind knocked out of him since he got up and was ok.. Doug Brown said he had had this happened to him while playing.

On the show after the game on OB, ZC confirmed he got the wind knocked out of him. Do you listen to it?

Don't make things out of nothing. Many athletes get the wind knocked out of them and can play normally right after.  It wasn't a big injury. I've had it happen in sports to me, you need a few minutes.

I heard Zach's interview but we've been having this conversation for years.
My wife is amazing!

To help Zac out and improve the O line until we can find better players is using six O linemen. Our 4 and 5 Nat receivers are hardly used.
Until Bryant is replaced he could use that extra guy on his side.
We started 9 Nats against Ottawa and the way Wilson has been dropping the ball lately get Zac another Imp receiver to throw to

While tempting it's usually not a good every down solution. For one, our 6th olineman is not starting quality and he'll just be a lightning rod for defensive coordinators to exploit. Pass protection can and often does end up one on one.

Secondly, even if our secondary receiving is awful, having them run around and look Canadian still requires them to be covered which is helpful. Less receivers can mean coverage times last longer which means the quarterback is holding the ball longer and that's the opposite of what you want if you're trying to solve pass protection.

What is a good idea is keeping Brady or a receiver or Daniels in to chip and block when we need and then release when it's not. We are doing this by and large.

It would help if our quarterback wasn't as slow as the Titanic or if they were more of a cerebral three step drop and throw style guy but unfortunately for us he's the former and not the latter.
