Why did you list your post in font size forty, or whatever?

This team is so obviously bad, it's almost like going to a game when your kids game and there is so little talent, you cheer when your kid actually rises after being knocked down. 

Glad to see someone else is seeing Collaros diminished ability and posting about it. A long year is about to get longer.

When do we play Hamilton?

Haha, complaints complaints.  I'm just glad people are posting useful and juicy info like the TOR practice/injury report!  Saves me a ton of time.

And don't get too excited to play HAM... they just beat psuedo-juggernaut TOR!!  They might be turning the corner.

[DM83]

Yeah which means immediately Toronto will be out to prove they can win against schmuck teams.
How is it Collaros can't hit the broad side of a barn.?

I think It will be revealing and. In the end embarrassing.

It's gut check time for this team. Throw in the towel or man up!

The best drive of today's practice was Strev leading the "Argo O". If our D has trouble stopping that how will they fare against the real Argo one? I have to say though he was really throwing well today, missed a couple but the best I've seen from him so far.

Zach on the other hand walks around like a beaten dog. Never mind his confident talk in the paper, his body language says otherwise. His mechanics were never great but he always over came that with arm strength. Those side arms and cross body throws now have no zip at all. When he does plant and throw properly he is often over throwing. So it is a mechanics thing? Maybe. Or maybe his arm and age have betrayed him. He just misses a lot more than he used to and seems to overly target the vets like he can trust them only. He still plays well at times but he is not the guy that was head and shoulders over Dru Brown last two years.

Anyone that has played sports has gone through tough spells. As yogi Berra used to say, "90% of the game is half mental" and he was right. My experience was that the more I practiced the better I played and the better I played the more my confidence grew no matter what sport it was. But it starts with practice and preparation. Whenever I got into a funk I went to practice but you have to practice properly. If all you're doing is practicing making mistakes that isn't going to help you. You have to work on the simple things, fundamentals, and do them well. Once you start doing the simple things well you can build on that. I know you guys know this already and I really don't know how Zach prepares but I am sure he plays like he practices. The QB coach has to be the one to tell him what he is doing wrong if he is struggling. Brutal honesty. There are no shortcuts. The most successful athletes are talented AND work hard. It's pretty rare that a talented athlete like Zach just suddenly loses it. There is a natural dropoff as you age but it should be gradual. That makes me wonder if this is injury related. He messed up his ankle last year and took some heavy shots this year. He might be more banged up than he is willing to admit. OTOH if he is making all the throws consistently well in practice and only struggling during game conditions that speaks to a mental issue and that can be a ***** to deal with. I still maintain that the road to mental health is practice, practice, practice.

Wilson didn't practice either day this week. Tomorrow is a walk thru? I wonder if he'll miss this week?

Closed practice tomorrow, Friday walk-thru. Wilson did not practice but couldn't tell anything about his shoulder. He had sleeveless top on, no brace or bandage. Seemed in good spirits.

Friday is the travel day. I think tomorrow is the walk thru.

You'll likely get on TV as you'll probably be the only fan in the stands at the Argo game.

My brother works for the Blue Jays, so it's a free weekend. Also, my first time back to the ball park since the renovation.

The Bomber game win or lose is a bonus.
