Recovering an onside kick isn't getting help from anywhere or anyone..it's execution...and a bit of luck...But also it was a key coaching decision to use the hash mark option when everyone in the stadium was assuming it was going to where everyone else puts it...that was out coaching an opposing team...generally the only other option you see is a guy just squibbing it straight ahead and trying to recover it himself

His hold man, Dressler, was injured so there's that too.

Lost in the missed kicks last night was he had his best game punting since he has been here had average of 49.4 yards with a net of 42.2.

Johnson's one was bad.. accidental but still bad and avoidable.  
 
Goosen's was absolutely awesome.   the knockdown and pancake was totally worth the fine IMO.   I'm loving the attitude our O-line brings these days, won't take any crap and will make people feel that they've been in battle. 

They have been trying to take away Dressler for 10 years

Poop Johnson is incredible.

the answer is simple. We need more and higher class strip clubs in the city. It has paid off for the Als for many of years, and we have been missing the boat. 

Well the new Mosaic stadium was nice while it lasted.

I was just about to post this and ask if there's a chance of a fine.  I think they should be fined. A)it's a marketing tactic to sell clothes and you would think that they would be required to wear it and b ) it's a slap in the face to the history of the organizations and to the country 

Man let us play a home game before you accuse us of having an empty stadium

Feel real good for Rush making the opening game roster. He is going to develop into one of those special teams beasts.

I think I've literally just about had it with internet Rider fans. There are quite a number of them (CalgaryRiderFan, Beacon.x, Bingo_Arms, Huff Daddy and several others whose names just elude me right now) that are tolerable, awesome guys to talk football with but man, the majority of people over at Riderfans.com are the biggest bunch of deluded dumb as a post mouth breathers I've ever encountered. It's a shame, because every year I go to Regina for every single away game we have there, the people that I meet are awesome. It's a great city to go watch a game and the fans that are invested in supporting the Riders are great to be around.
But that website is a cesspool of stupidity. The stuff I've read on that site is some of the most ridiculous nonsense I've ever imagined. Very few people on there have any clue about football as it relates to anything outside their province and trying to use any kind of reasoning with them is like talking to a doorknob. Wake up and smell the coffee, Rider fans. Your team is the worst team in the CFL, your coach is the laughing stock of the entire league and your GM somehow manages to have no clue what your head coach and defensive coordinator and media recruiting coordinator are doing, despite them all being the same person. You're using the last wear on the tires of old broken down pieces like Kevin Glenn, Jovon Johnson and Peter Dyakowski. Your coach can't stop fetishizing about the kudos he'll get if FINALLY he manages to turn a fullback into a defensive back or a tackle into a receiver and it affects the quality of your roster from top to bottom. You scout and house somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 players, yet can't find a single guy to play defensive back and somehow have to settle for convincing yourselves that Ed Gainey is serviceable. Maybe AC Leonard will stop going offside. Maybe Brenden Labatte won't get hurt for the 47th time. Maybe Henoc Muamba will stop being too fat. Maybe Duron Carter will keep his trap shut for once. Maybe Linden Gaydosh is duct taped together well enough to hold up for 3 or 4 games. Maybe Jordan Reaves will stop dealing cocaine. And maybe if all of that happens, you might have enough of a football team to piece together 7 or 8 wins this year.
Until then, know your place, shut up and enjoy the basement. I can't wait until we stomp these guys on Saturday.

what does Richards have to do with this?

And we all know how Glenn handles pressure!

Good news for the Briere crowd.
He is  going back to school to finish his degree, and he remains our property. As per MOS.

Really hope Thorpe is just on the 6 game IR.

88, 82 and 19 were all new. Tachinski was 82. He is also not black, so couldn't be 19.

I was going to say that Blazko looks like Jade Etienne with those tooth-pick legs but then I also see he is even wearing Etienne's old number.  I wonder if his mom is hot?  

Only on the scoreboard, which is a statistic. 
 

Id like to see rookies un claimable off the PR. Both imp and ni. Better for the league and the game if players who need that time to develop get it. After the rookie year there should be a compensatory draft pick for snatching off some one elses pr. Or neg lister. Also, itd be nice if rookie NIs didnt count against the PR. The league needs more then any thing, to develop NI talent. Being able to keep guys like butcher around for a year and season them a bit would only help. 

Happy John Rush made the team!

Okpalaugo is an international. 

again they play different position.
