Is this for Lock of the Week?

Unrelated to the game but I can't help but laugh at how big of babies Riders management is. "Labour Day Rematch" The refusal to call it the Banjo Bowl will never not be funny to me.

No your argument that guys who are cut and don't immediately go on and do huge things for a new team aren't worth fussing over. Here's an example: Kenny Lawler. He was cut from BC, let's say the Bombers were set at receiver and didn't pick him up... would that have made him one of these guys not to get fussed over? When he was first here he was just a ham and egger too. Wasn't until lapo left and collaros became starter that Lawler emerged. Opportunity and time are what players need to grown into impact players.

Thanks dude. This is what comes of listening to too much Suitor. Thing I noticed in the LDC was that Zach was frequently breaking contain and rolling out into free space after the play action, so it looked like successful RPO to me -- the plays were getting Zach out of the danger zone behind Kolo and into free space where he can do his Zach thing.

You can find tailgating all over the place near the stadium. If you are taking rapid transit to the game, you may want to head over to the parking lots near University & Dysart. The official team area is just east side of the building (corner of Chancellor Matheson & University). Here's a rough map with some locations where you can find tailgating.

lol. Wait till they sit Wilson and play sterns instead. Cuz if everyone healthy , someone is sitting.

You almost gave me a heart attack man. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw White Lightning was released by the Blue Bombers.

Butler.

Thanks all, we are leaving early tomorrow morning. What area outside of the stadium is the tailgating?

thing is...he didnt look particularily good...And Parker had won the spot but got hurt....so he was able to grow into it We need to do more of that was the point, and is in reference to my other point if we dont have an injury, or a guy chooses to leave...we will not allow a better player to push out an older one....and that why our depth sucks ass....and in some instances we have none How much deeper or better would we be if some the guys who are taking starter type reps were actually the backup or injury replacement for a better guy...and doesnt necessarily have to be a younger guy save for guys over 30....just better Tell me an instance where we saw on the news wire we dumped a guy for a younger better guy, and where we as fans...even media were like "wow"...didnt see that coming Thats exactly how we got T.Jones...was ashock release, for a younger guy, who went on to win R.O.Y...He was also let go in T.O for a younger better player....thats how Edm got him

😂 I follow all of the North Dakota guys closely and had never heard of him being cut like the poster above said

PREEEECISELY.

Yes but why?

All I had to do was search “Evan holm released” on twitter 😂

You dug into a tweet from three years ago?

I just dug into this. he was released for less than 24 hr that they later said was for medicals

Welcome to Winnipeg @JGD . I definitely recommend you guys check out the tailgate on game day. Definitely use the transit system to get to and from the stadium. There are bunch of park and ride locations you can leverage. Parking is a bit of nightmare around the stadium, If you're looking for some good food options I definitely recommend Brazen Hall on Pembina Hwy or One Great City Brewing Co on Ness Ave. Not on game day though Enjoy the game and GO BOMBERS!

To me the main issue is the lack of viable alternatives weve had. An oline man goes down and we need to go to an import ,Same with Kramdi. They feel that Adams/Woods aren't good enough but who else do we have.We havent had a decent backup db and no de on the pr We,ve started Kody Case, Kornelson, Weitz, Corcoran (who we seem to try to use like a Bailey despite not having the ability or build) Theres enough blame to go around The good news is weve finally added Houston, Wilson now if we can dig up an olineman , and Texacada works out theres hope

Nope...Guy named mike took over....Then guy named Brandy...well they were Managers...was still owned tho by same person...Was a women but for life of me cant remember the name...theyowned it forever

thats how you develop guy tho...allow to grow and learn. How do you think Holm fot play? Injury replacement...and whiffed and effed up a lot at first too...but people tugged on his nutsac cause of an Osh quote he had quick feet Holm was jumping off the page...if anything actually looked way out of his league.......Guy was actually cut at one point...and brought back...kinda disputes you constant opinion that guys cut were cut because they not good....doesnt it...who know how many others got let go over coach's fav that could have developed like Holm did? Was allowed to play and grow Bridges was awful from get go....took way too long to swap him oit...same can be said with Bonds...tho not sure what happened there, and wasnt as bad as Bridges....scheme...personelle...who knows...buy highly likely if not hurt he'd still be playing coaching is losing us games...or lack of good coaching...and roster issues and who gets reps... which go along with coaching...they all part of issue

I will agree that our O and D coordination has a lot to be desired. Our roster usage could be a lot better but realistically isn't losing us games. Contributing for sure, but if we had the talent level and the schemes in place we would like the last several year, be grousing about it on a first place team with a couple losses at this point. I would love MOS to use the designated IMP rule, I would love to see a tweak here or there in our lineup. Do I think it's why we are losing? Nope. Just making it harder to win. When I look at the difference between 2019 or 2021 and this team I see a vastly different amount of talent and quality depth. That's 90% of our problem right now. We have bled talent. Anyone suggesting that the answer is in house is dreaming in technicolor. Kyle Walters had to have a make it or break it offseason this year, and he had probably his worst offseason yet.

Never ever said I was unhappy with Wilson as he is one of the vets if healthy that we dont need to move on from....so dont put words in my mouth,,,if anything I have said Kyrie if healthy is a top WIL in league and has shown as such.....,especially last 3 games T.Jones is ok....has holes and would flourish more situationally...Is poor in his drops and isnt really capable of coverage...He was great when paired with J.Jones and was able to mirror how he dropped tho...and we need to have both on roster to be our best And if a player is better....he shouldn't have to wait and bide time....delaying these guy coming in...what did it accomplish ir do?....zero We are losing games due to poor coaching and roster use....guys not coached uo or schemed properly let alone at times seem prepared...Thats where we are lacking....and the roster seeming weak is also hand in hand with not playing rhe right guys we have....and not continually looking for guys to upgrade our PR and or roster who said anything about Osh scouting?

Bridges was awful, and he was replaced. Giving Allen big kudos seems wrong to me. He has not been all that good. He has whiffed on many coverages and tackles over the past few games and taken some very costly penalties as well. I think we could do better, and need to get better at his spot as well. You are making the assumption that Person, a rookie, was ready to go game one. I would not make that assumption and am not going to flog any coach for waiting until a player is both physically and mentally ready to compete. Person has looked OK, not great, but I would tend to think the coaches wanted to give him more time to adjust to the Canadian game before throwing him out there. In preseason he was having a hard time with the yard off the ball and some other nuances of our game. As he gets more used to it, his impact will grow. Woodby same thing likely. Just needed time to learn the nuances in practice, study film, learn how to react and play in the Canadian game. Once they were ready they got their shot. Not sure why ppl think that rookies not playing serious reps until game 8 is out of the ordinary, or a coach not identifying talent. Talent is great but talent has to be game ready. Bridges was a head scratcher but his first 2 games he played great and that is likely why he got more rope than he should have. Allen is no prize either tho. Dave Ritchie used to say for every rookie you add to your starting lineup you can pencil in 1 loss to go with that. That is not an exaggeration. Throwing raw rookies into the mix is not an optimum solution. You want to be able to slow play their roll out if possible. None of the guys you have mentioned are talented enough that they jump off the page. Sure some rookies can come in and play like all stars. They are the very small minority of rookies and certainly not any of the guys you have listed.
