  1. All this kinda making me wanna get a rush jersey.
  2. Probable, but at the same time, being run head long into an OL on the huge majority of snaps isnt gonna do much for your health, longevity or efficacy. When he was put in a position to make plays in 2019 he made some big ones.
  3. I hadnt thought about that. Pretty crazy that a low scoring season hasnt seen any OT games.
  4. Me thinks he is gone, at least until we next lose.
  5. Thats a good one. I would bet it'd be high 30s low 40s. But I would bet the 2nd start win rate drops by as much as half.
  6. Advocatus diaboli, the office of the devils advocate, can be useful. But the thing about pure contrarians is they dont present facts or counter arguments most of the time. Usually denial of the assertion is confused with evidence to them. "No you prove its not true!" type of thing. That does make for an un interesting fruitless argument for sure. But thats the extent of what you usually get from contrarians, or people just being contrary for the sake of it. Opinions in sports are often quickly formed and seldom lack the drive to run counter to any one elses opinion, no matter their validity. But the difference in opinion between people who watch the ball, and people who watch the play is tremendous. People who dont have dont any significant time studying game film have a gigantic disadvantage. The books "how to watch a football game" and "Take your eye off the ball" can open that door as well. I dont always agree with posters on here who have a high football knowledge and experience base. But I do understand that they are far different than people who make assertions based on chasing the ball with their eyes. Like people early this year, and all of 2019 who swore up and down that bighill had lost a step and was too slow to accomplish much. Now hes dropping deep, covering wrs, all around the ball and that talk is gone. Now they see him central to the play. Virtually all the experienced, knowledgeable posters shot this assertation down immediately. Despite some holding pretty far opposing views in other areas. Ill take the word of any one who clearly has 1000+, or 500+ hours of time studying game film at any organized level over any one who doesnt every single time. Wont be right every single time, but they will be a big majority of the time.
  7. I dont think watfords gonna be good. I think the stamps will play down to the cats.
  8. I think the stamps are gonna take the cats, and I agree itll be closer than it should. And if it is I could see BLM getting the hook. Idk why they dressed masoli if he wasnt able to start this game.
  9. Too strong to take a piss test. Itll make you slap your official. Just 27. I wanna say he wasn't re upped and didnt get an offer. Sad, I think they wanted to move forward with some of our young NI back ups, but at this point our teams needs help imo.
  10. Thats super cool, too bad its for the wrong side of the banjo border. But the thing the CFL needs more than any thing is grass roots development.
  11. Aside from bighill last year, and the stamps (i think) play this year, it actually happened involving us and toronto in the first game. Ricky collins JR had his helmet ripped off and no flag, no fine, nothing. Some people are just contrarians. If every one in the group is saying its not an ejection you have the village idiot who will say other wise. They'd rather take drugs for horses, shoot up bleach and rinse with isopropyl than admit that every one who has taken the vaccine and is fine isnt lying, and neither are the doctors or the numbers of none vaxxed in hospitals.
  12. Thats sweet, does rush live in steincrack? Tbh Id take rush back on our teams in a heart beat. Soo far its a great listen thanks for sharing.
  13. Watching him run in the CIS was bananas. I wonder where matt sheridan is now. What a lunch pail guy that was. Came in as a 400lbs dl and ended up being a solid guard for a while. Hope hes kept weight off. Brett macneil on one side at like 265, and sheridan at like 370 on the other. I believe at the same time as we had that PR pick up center who was 6'11 and like 350 too.
  14. In an calgary iirc game earlier this year a guy had his helmet ripped off like that no ejection. Some people in here just dont have a clue when it comes to the rule book.
  15. He's all hakuna mourtada I expect him to be cool as a mfer. He has tremendous talent in that leg. Idk how he didnt get picked up by some one at some point. Sticking to it for soo long really makes me want to see this guy succeed. Hes like vince papale, or rudy or some thing.
  16. Damn I didnt know it would spam his whole instatwitterbook feed. Its harris geting punched.
  17. Take a look at some of your own threads and fb. the rider faithful are pretty toxic. We check our selfs here. You can see many threads with people talking about none rider stuff checking each other. Its not an ecochamber. You should stick around you might enjoy it here if you just wanna talk football. We have some growing Xs and Os talk. PED user Andrew Harris has the CFL wrapped around his finger Same. Healthy stove, grant, and kyrie from being in a really good spot. As well as our kicking situation. Hope hakuna mourtada plays well. He has a lot of work out and nfl virtual try out / training videos.
  18. The week of thread is always a good chunk of left over talk from the previous game. Check any other week of thread. We are obsessed with winning. Rider fans are obsessed with bombers. But since you are here shouldnt a punch to the un protected head like this be a suspension? Has leonard been cut yet for being on drugs refusing a piss test and abusing a cfl official? Just curious.
  19. Im sure its to do with the 99-01 als bombers rivalry. He was there for all that bad blood, and wasnt there when the rivalry died. 2001 was his last year and that was the year we over threw the als. That 14 win team won all the close games. Lots of the streak were won late. He may have felt they were really close to being in our position. Or maybe he's just a self righteous POS. Well, he's certainly that maybe the other thing contributed to it too. TSN dropping him was the best thing theyve done in a long time. I didnt love hank, but he was better than jock strap. And I like sanchez much more as a broad caster then as a player. (each year I hate him a little less.) IF only they would continue that trend now and drop some guys. Maybe when this era of player retires we will finally see the end of some long in the tooth tsn types. Ricky ray always seemed flat as hell, but I heard a few times when he was with edm and TO that he is hilarious. I know hes currently working with the argos, but the best thing Pinball could do for the league (other than maybe be the commish) Is to be on the TSN panel. Fire suiter, put matty in the booth full time. Bring in Pinball to the panel full time, and find a great host. Maybe tim micallef. Tim, pinball, milt, and sanchez on the panel. Lapolice and Forde have their own segments in each game and pre game show. Also dump rodblack, maybe bring cuthbert back, or go find a new guy.
  20. Prime milt, with this collaros would be terrifying. Often over looked is during milts tenure not only did we have a lot of poor qbing, but our OLs were as bad or worse for the most part. Id take lucky over banks. I think banks is heavily a product of a system. They scheme getting the ball in his hands with easy touches, in space with blockers etc a lot.
  21. It would truly be baffling to me if a guy who has earned what he has between the NFL and the CFL isnt on a modern ped, but then I probably shouldnt be surprised. I mean if he was smart he'd be off it during the season, and if he really needed it to recover mid season he'd take oral then micro dose to avoid crashing off it. The fact he isnt off it, or on some thing that cant be tracked should say it all. But I always expect cheaters to be smarter than they are. Yeah, unless its some thing he cant stay off. You never know what happens after a year off. More players than most would expect fall into heavy cycles of substance abuse in the offseason, then try to clean up for the season. Im a bit surprised we havent seen more issues with this. From recreational stuff, to pills, to hard drugs.
  22. Yes, but youll only get a positive test for about 14 days after taking steroids. So unless he does them while he's suspended he almost certainly isnt going to pop again. That said, who knows maybe its some thing else he's on. Maybe its the player wellness and not PEDs that wouldve had him suspended if he peed.
  23. Here, we would rather hear a hard reality but the majority of our press is in the bombers pockets. Even then if the bombers lay an egg bob irving calls a spade a spade. In riderville if they arent good, they dont want to hear any thing but lies. They bite hard on any pandering to them. Because they have nothing else, and the fewest GCs of any city in the league. Despite the most losing they cant handle losing. So their media panders to them and they eat it up. Then national cfl media does the same and they bite even harder. The national media and cfl site are soo low quality they think making the rider fans extremely happy means they are doing well and helping the league. But it just perpetuates the same over hype followed by crashing lows in sask. I remember back in the day, maybe 2004, the bombers were 11-7 in a 3 or 4 way tie. Jock clime called us the worst 11 win team in recent memory. That we hadn't added any pieces since the 01 team, just tried to keep that team together. It pissed a lot of people off, but he wasnt entirely wrong. That team rested on its laurels for way too long and didnt improve. After handily losing to the riders at home in the west semi, most people agreed. If that happened in regina, clime would've been torn to pieces. Clime was a dbag and I couldnt stand him when he played or on the tsn panel. And he attacked the bombers while at TSN like it was his job. You could never see that with the riders. And really, thats a team and a fan base that needs to swallow some hard truths.
  24. Cant trust the booth to make the right call though. Like that punch to the head of a helmetless harris. No flag, no call from the booth, no move by the league.
  25. You cant. Guys helmets are held on by little more than hopes and prayers these days. Aka nothing. Atleast 1 pops off on virtually every single play. Half the face masks in the league could be turned into ejections if the person being grabbed is smart about it. IF any thing, we should see a crack down on shoving after the play. Thats an epidemic in todays game, and thats what leads to the worse stuff. No more skip the first and call the retaliation. 1 shove 1 instant 15 yard penalty. That crap will end fast. And soo will the majority of the post play shenanigan's.
