Bo is has been nothing short of awful so far, he doesn't look like the young rising star that won the grey cup.
They need to move to a max protection and just dink and dunk, because clearly the offensive line depth is not as good as we thought, the line wasn't very good to begin the season, but with backups and signing off the street it has been a huge reason for the massive suck going on.

Cornish is a huge loss although the result in the upcoming games will be similar to what we've seen all season, because he has been underused. The results are what we have seen in the first few games. Cornish's frustration with coaching staff is obvious. It's too bad that Dickenson just doesn't seem to get that Cornish is not only a great player, but the team rallies around him -- saw it in the game vs. Winnipeg. He lit a fire under the offence.
Bo has been awful because we lost some key receivers in the offseason and because Dickenson is putting too much pressure on him. We had an excellent run game last year which allowed Bo to shine when he needed to, but he is not yet at the point where he can carry the whole game with passing. We don't have the protection, or the receiving corps.
Bo's struggling because we are passing too much. We need to put the other team on its heels and beat them up a little bit more, which you can only do by playing a better run game. A few injuries shouldn't stop the run game -- we have decent backups at the RB position. Walter is a solid player and a good power back, not elite but can do the job.
