Blue Bombers’ Zach Collaros to sit vs. Riders, Tyrrel Pigrome to run, probably

We probably all have one thing that drives us nuts about our jobs, maybe a cumbersome computer program or some ridiculous protocol that makes no sense to anybody.

The bane of Zach Collaros’s professional existence?

“Two-and-outs,” the Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback said, Tuesday. “Are very infuriating.”

Collaros is nothing if he’s not competitive. It’s his fuel.

So when he starts a game with back-to-back two-and-outs, even a pre-season game like Saturday’s in Edmonton, it’s like getting out of the wrong side of the bed, stepping on a steel rake and slipping on a patch of motor oil, all at once.

When the Bomber offence again failed to pick up a first down on his fourth series — never mind that he’d fired a 67-yard touchdown strike to Kenny Lawler on his third — Collaros didn’t want to come out of the game, as planned, after the first quarter.

“I asked to be out there for another drive in the second quarter,” he said. “And Osh and Buck allowed it.”
