Love the optimism,

I'm cool with that. FWIW, I wanted O'Day fired and was quite disappointed at the decision to keep him on.

Three crucial factors are 1. Management 2. Quarterbacking 3. Coaching as for talent & scouting I am out of my depth; new talent is often a matter of good luck; recognizing the quality of that new talent is everything West (# of wins) 14 Bombers good management, solid coaching 13 BC good coaching, decent management 10 Edmonton finally got a quarterback, Jones' determination 5 Sask poor management, chaos in the coaching ranks 5 Calgary absentee management, indifferent coaching East (# of wins) 13 Montreal enlightened management, team spirit 11 Toronto chaos to start, enough talent to carry them 8 Hamilton average & average 4 Ottawa delusional management, inadequate coaching Ranking Talent Winnipeg Montréal Toronto BC Hamilton Regina Edmonton Calgary Ottawa QBing Winnipeg BC Montréal Edmonton Hamilton (& a Wildcard for Toronto) Calgary Regina Ottawa Cheers!

Lots of nice guys have been head coaches & failed as it's a cutthroat business.

If they hadn't brought in a highly regarded DL late I'd be 100% that Thomas/Schmekel would hold down one DT spot. now I'm 50/50 but probably leaning towards they might have 2 american DTs on the roster but the rotation would be heavy. But I guess we shall see.

never let a Schmeckel slide into anything....

not sure what this means. My response was a joke referencing how Davydov and Ehlers are so similar in their playing style.

If they have good borscht, please let us know.

considering we dont need a canaduian there save for rotation...fact we brought in some new Dline guys....maybe we may just go that route...would make us a stronger defense...as we are likely to set our roster with Imports....using 2 Imp DT as starters....with say Ford at Corner is 15 Imports...so the 4 di's could be an End...castillo...a returner and one of Gemmel or Moses if one is rostered in Biggies spot...the other is Di'd....Or we use the 4th as a DB...so it is easily workeable yup....sadly its more than likely

Really? You can't see it? Cause it's well within the realm of possibility with this coaching staff.

Angel Hernandez can ruin games no longer.

I agree mace is a great pick. But I don’t think he has half a roster around him worth a damn

But they damn sure might let Schmeckel slide into Lawson's spot ....

We're getting CFLs video feed for sure... Basically the in house Jumbotron feed. But the ACTUAL production... Like using Dome Productions.... Is extremely expensive. I'm not saying the people who do in house production aren't good, but the actual broadcast technician crew is very costly.

If Mace is the right guy, it'll be at least another year to get the ship corrected. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Riders break out fast and fade as the year goes on.

I thought we'd be starting a Canadian on the DL until Lawson got hurt. I really don't see them going with Thomas as a starter unless forced to by other injuries.

This is fantastic and I love that Liam Dobson is being more integrated as one of the young faces of the club. He's got some star quality to him. Hope he kicks ass this year

Ok, but we’re getting the video feed. So how much more expensive does it need to get?

He doesn't need reps in the backfield...he does at reciever though

**** off with this noise. Their parent company's business is being cheap skates refusing to spend a nickle because they'd rather have that nickle in the pile of loot.

As long as he's regular size, not a mini-o'shea

I think all American DL is not going to happen... maybe Augustine gets snipped but I am not convinced. Honestly I think if there's a surprise cut it'll be Alexander and he will slide into a coaching position. I mean maybe not cut cut but perhaps he's injured all year or something.

Interesting, he definitely got reps in the backfield in the first preseason game

Also, theme nights....

My understanding is that Rosery isn't getting reps in the backfield at all. He's playing receiver.
