Impressed with perkins and singer Thought oline pass protected decently but run blocking definitely needs work
Im not sure I saw much different oline play than ly though.
Dline ends were good esp Dixon, but we will need to find another interior lineman to back up Ceresna And somehow we need to give Smith more playing time, the guys a baller

Because the IMPs did badly or because the NATs did so well?  Remember, the question isn't can the IMPs play OT, the question is can one play OG.  In other words, Vant sucking at LT has nothing at all to do with whether we start Vant at LG.

That said, all of MOS's TC comments hint that it's locked at Stan Wallace Eli Neuf Broxton.  Wallace & Eli talked up every chance they get with nary a quibble.

There's been zero indication that we want to put in Vant at LG. Or anyone other than Wallace.

Truth.  The "indication" was fan hopes & dreams (me included).  And the fact we toyed with it last season.  And the fact we probably have the ratio room.

I really hope Wallace gets the Ko-man treatment if he doesn't have the best season of his life in '26.  I put it at 50/50.

My word, our run block was horrifically awful and horrible and total butt.  Did anyone get any good run?  Brady was fully neutered.  Peterson was worse, if that's possible.

Didn't our main starters start the first series?  Even they couldn't do squat.  Just like 2025.  What on earth is up with that?

Then look at SSK.  Didn't matter what set was in they made holes and stuck with the run.  They were getting probably 4X the average Y per run compared to us.  And I'm not even exaggerating.  Mediocre Oullette made to look like a world-beater again.  And they kept it up even when the #3's came in.

Sad.  Very sad.  This better not carry through to week 1.  What's the point of paying your RB double what the next best guy is getting if he can't get you anything on 1st?  What's the point of Condell's new scheme if every good team is just going to shut down our run again?

They better figure out how to get Yoshi run block out of Broxton real fast or that will be a massive waste of money at RT (until Stan retires).

Where is everyone?  On MBB instead?  it's almost crickets here.

I think the fact 95% of the PS isn't televised anymore hurts the viewership, interest, and forum attendance.  There's still a lot of people who can't/won't stream.

I hope the new kickers do well. IMO we may keep both on the PR as development for 2027. Canadian and a global is beneficial.

That Lidster looked pretty good to me.  His 50 yarder could have been 65 easily, and right down the middle.  He barely missed a shorter one later, but overall I was very impressed.

And a NAT?  Keep this kid on the PR!  In 2 years when he's our star PK and wins a game for us, we can say he put a Lid on it.

[Tecno]

Weibe kid looked really good for SSK.  He's a 2nd year kid?  8th round?  That was a good pickup for them.  He's exactly what they need for their system.

Their 3rd QB looked pretty good too.  Very impressive final drive, keeping his cool and understanding they needed to move the ball vs nickel & dime (cough cough).
