They said

I suggest crow, I had some already, you know who you are lol.  Might want to add sauce it's dry lol.

All of those things are true. It doesn't mean he can't still be successful. If you are 35+, you know your body just isn't quite the same as it was.

Wow, that looked like a Buck series.  So much for Hogan-just-gonna-dink-n-dunk theory!

Wheatie trying to make D.Mitchell lose a job!  What has D.Mitchell shown us yet?  Nothing!  M.Mitchell may beat him out too!  Yikes.

I think D. Mitchell is safe-ish. He self-admittedly camp to camp out of shape and was relegated to 2nd team and forced to earn his way into the team. That said, we still need his skill set.

But we need multiple bodies in the receiving core and if Keric wants to make that 2nd year leap, we got room for him.

lt was a 40 yard rainbow ...not the best example lol

Ya, you can totally work around Zach's 45-ish yard range by just releasing sooner, like they did here.  Zach is ageing, but most of it is workaround-able.

I'm glad to see whoever helps Zach with this has identified the same problems, and finding solutions.

It's just preseason, but a trend so far of getting the ball out quickly.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Nice tackle Munier-Bailey.

[TecnoGenius]

Strange no T.Harris rostered tonight.  Riders usually try to win the PS @ home.  Gets the fans hyped.  I guess if you roster only backups you can have a ready-made excuse to placate the fans.

Still early, though.

Zach is old, that is all that is true.
Can throw deep ball
Has good to great arm strength
I don't see decline in strength but a little in mobility and foot speed
Like fine wine

[TecnoGenius]

I like the Begelton promo there.

[TecnoGenius]

Nice stop on D.

Not much on returns yet, though.  No one hits the hole with confidence.

Much better cover teams so far, though, so that's good.  M.Miller yelling at them all week, probably.

Strev always has trouble throwing on the bootleg.  Should have just run there.

Wheatie recognized blitz and ran the perfect split hot route

[Jesse]

Strev is back, lol.

Cute boyz taking turns.

[GOLDMEMBER]

We look polished on offence!

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Their colour guy is already so dejected after every Bombers first down. It's pre-season haha

[towelie]

Wheatfall the Wilson of this season?

[GOLDMEMBER]

Ugly ugly Strev

[Blue In BC]

Streveler throws a bad int!!
