There were more people at the Valour FC game to watch them get crushed by the Hamilton team than there were at Argo and Stamp home games this week combined.

I think Peterson only got 7 yards on that one on a 1st and 20 after a holding call.

I don't know if the Argos or Stamps will sell 30,000 tickets all year....

That was Wilson. Willie got the ball back like 2 plays later.

Wilson

Was it Ayers who got called in the Grey Cup on that fumble recovery where we ended up having to give the ball back to Toronto? If so, I'm still mad at him about that one....argh...

Yep, he's the only one who is doing the tracking that fans get access to. I've seen him on the short-yardage defense set at end, but haven't seen him sub in for regular defensive reps yet.

Really wish I knew what was up with our roster... No word on Brady??? That makes all the difference. I'll ride the Schoen Train for a bit longer, I guess, but reserve the right to change that if Brady is back this week ...

A year and a half removed from hoisting the Grey Cup. 🥺https://3downnation.com/2025/06/23/former-montreal-alouettes-player-coach-chandler-jones-dead-at-33/

curious with Jakes too....more than 3 is way too much haha...and thats for season

@DTonOB is probably the best bet for that kind of info.

Anyone know how many defensive snaps Ayers has had this season? I’m not sure there are any sites that track that….

Ever wondered what happened to Susan Powter? https://deadline.com/2025/06/susan-powter-stop-the-insanity-documentary-interview-1236440740/

B.C ..HAM and the Riders are notoriously bad for that....acting like a bag of assbags on the simplest of plays

was that the one where he celebrated like he had just made a game-winning play... even though Peterson got the first down... and they were down by two scores in the 4th quarter... what a clown... 🤣

Yeah, I think we should be looking to work 1 guy a week in for development. That way we don't get shocked by required change when injuries happen, or from too much change up front. Jones for Kyrie if the biggest one needed imo. He is, and he would be great at that. While still giving us the ability to cover a zone and not just have to hug the line.

Ayers is both quick and fast plus he reads plays very well. We are gonna need that to contain Ford on Thursday.

this is the time of year and games where we "should" be trying some thigs...moving some pieces....seeing best fit and our best roster...not the status quo stand pat becai=use we won....or because a guy has been here years...or what Osh had said earlier "you look at old film and see what he can do" as thats not a good way of evaluation...looking backwards

Again, our league is in trouble if in a nine team league three teams are already less than average. Man we need an infusion of something quick. What's this new commish's plan in getting this league better?

If you look at things on the surface, it might seem that way. But when you delve a little bit into it, without even watching tape, you see the difference. That being, JJones was playing at an all-star caliber in 23, splitting reps with Wynton McManis. That's when he started 8 games, put up 49 tackles, 13 teams tackles, 7 sacks, and a pick. The injury derailed him the following year. Conversely, Tony Jones was an on-again, off-again teams guy who rotated a bit on bad defences and got a shot here when Biggie went down. The difference in play is night and day. Tony is very good at scraping to the ball and making tackles in the box. He's not good at coverage. Jonathon Jones is good at scraping to the ball, has exceptional range, and is as effective pass rushing as dropping back in cover. Best roster usage for today would be Tony plays Mac in running downs, Jonathon plays Wil. On passing downs, we sub Griffin for Tony, and slide Jonathon into the middle. Building a better team going forward would probably mean Ayers gets snaps over Jones. I don't think Ayers is far behind Jones currently, tbh. I wouldn't expect him to be as reliable immediately, but I also don't think he can progress just by covering kicks. Jonathon Jones is our best Lber. Kyrie is our worst. Tony is situational.

Hey man because of this current streak, Rider Nation are still planning the Grey Cup parade around the sewage treatment plant/waterslide park. Let the baby have its bottle for a few more weeks....lol...
