Quote from: TecnoGenius on May 31, 2025, 04:40:58 AMIt was all injury-driven.  Miller hurt all season, and I think our NAT FB recent draft at the time was injured too.  Maybe we even weren't too great at 6th/7th OL at the time either.

In retrospect it does seem to be pretty lame though.  Maybe we should have just traded someone for a NAT FB, not like those guys are expensive.
Yup, filled in nicely, not ideal but not the gaff some has suggested imo

He would have fit in better if we were invading Regina and not playing football there.

Quote from: TecnoGenius on May 31, 2025, 04:46:39 AMBut without a half of looks at The Greek, how can you pull the trigger tomorrow?  Even worse, what if The Greek is injured for a few weeks too?  One would tend to go with the known quantity at this point.  However, we don't need to waste more time on a next Dom Davis...
Yup can't do much now
Davis looks good

TecnoGenius

Was that Vaval on that good tackle?  That would be a good sign.

Coan looking very good for SSK.  Much better than many of the clowns they've had the last few seasons.
Never go full Rider!

Heard it all from you, biased on him imo and overstating the impact of it
Mafia, management did the right thing in a tight spot
Was a non issue, was handled internally

TecnoGenius

Did SSK give up anything to get dibs on Maier?  So far Coan looks like the keeper, not Maier.  And Stevens is SY.

I didn't see,  hope so

Announcer says Cooley can block, I like the sounds of that, took two guys out

It's just so bad that a second year QB is essentially only being trusted to do jet sweeps and handoffs against third and fourth stringers. Absolutely no promise at all

Overstated on the negative, way to early to say that.
A bad outing to be sure. 

TecnoGenius

Chris-Ike failed on that block.  Cooley almost shook it anyhow!  SSK pass-blitzing now.  Smart move.  We're barely gonna throw now.

I'm disappointed SSK didn't try harder to win this.  Throw Trevor in there a bit and get some scores like we did with Zach.  Mace trying something new?  Ridernation ain't gonna be happy, even though it's a PS.

You can absolutely say that for TONIGHT's performance.

Qbs take 2-3 years
Patience
