Hope there's a couple more good news surprises.

Just curious, but Mace has only been a HC for 2 seasons. When did he throw players under the bus or develop a reputation for doing that? I don't recall any examples of players sbeing called out. I'm no Rider or Corey Mace fan but I can say that he developed the Riders into what the Bombers were 2019-22 with FIFO. Players love playing for him. The problem with being GC Champions is everybody wants to get paid. NOW. And they can't pay everyone. Plus for most players, money is the only true loyalty they'll ever understand. hence the endless one year contracts. They want to get paid. It has very little to do with loyalty.

A meniscus tear is easily fixable unlike a ligament tear especially an ACL. The recovery time is a fgraction of the time for a meniscus. if everything heals properly with rehab Ceresna will be good to go come training camp. The Bombers slept thru ftree agency last season not seeming to care if anyone signed or left. I hope we never have an off season like that again. Looks like lesson learned. Is Nick Arbuckle a gfree agent?

Osh ruined Schoen & probably cost him his career. Playing two games on a newly torn ACL?? Schoen tore it in July. Streveler tore his on October 25th against the Als & some posters here think he'd be ready for training camp in May?? Dream on. It ain't happening.

They're really waiting for Ceresna.

Loyalty is money comes first. The Riders are finding out how hard it is to keep their players just like we did.

Pass it to me afterwards. No way Streveler will be physically ready to play this comiong season. The 2nd knee injury happened later in the season this time round with the same injury to the same knee. He just had surgery a couple of weeks ago. I doubt he's even started rehabbing.

I'd love to see Ford's playbook at university. I think it was a lot more simplistic then would be needed in the CFL. You can't win at this level playing sandlot football.

Ceresna will do wonders for WJ.

We got him!!! On Instagram, some random fans are saying Walters tampered with all these signings Guess that means we won. .

Or they wanted to maximize profits on the Grey Cup. We'll never know as no one from the media has the courage to ask. Well, Friesen might.

Methinks they listened a little too much to Osh with his desire to play his way past the post faves which mostly are gone.

Hey Riders...

On defense, if we add Ceresna then we may want to look at smaller parts like Lorenzo Mauldin who might be a 1 year filler who could fit in. Either way, a huge upgrade. I'll pilot the boat.

I'll admit. I'm shocked. Even without Ceresna, Walter's won theoff season. I'm hoping that the Bombers geography will also win the day as Winnipeg is closer to Ceresna's family than Ottawa.

Ohhhhhhhhh ****., C'mon Kyle. You can do this.

With the new window, this happened last year as well. Announcements by the respective teams came on the first day of free agency on February 10th. Okay, I'll say it. I'll eat crow. By far, Walters has won the off season. He's hit a home run after home run this entire off season.. He's no longer a bridesmaid but the bride. The Old Walters is back.... errr... the Young Walters. I'm lovin' it. Now, all I ask is my kingdom for a big interior DL to pay the zero & 1 technique. A run stopper. A disruptor. Someone to create chaos inside like Stove did.

I coached kids in Grade 10 & that's all they did. Couldn't read a defense. So, one read. It ain't open... run. We didn't win many games.

Great, so a high school qb playing in the CFL. Just what we need.

The DL used to be our strength when we won two Grey Cups. Since 2021, it's become a throw away position with guys who never would have made those teams in 19 & 21 becoming starters. No desire by Walters, Osh or Younger to rebuild it. Speaking of Younger, I'm actually amazed that he never started an entire defense of defensive backs.

Grumpy? Okay, Mike. Whatever you say. I'm not going to be drawn into it with you. I won't give you the satisfaction. You want to fight? Go join a boxing club.

An outside chance that will cost $150-200,000 a year. Nope. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3562044787441282 Coach Killer.

He may very well be a shitty coach too. There's always a flip side. He never earned that position. He was given it. I guess I'm tired of the entitlement this team has for Osh favourites. I'd have preferred Thomas go coach junior or CIS & gain experience. Maybe move up to DC & then come back to the CFL in 5-7 years

For me, it's nothing personal against Jake The Person. I know that he's is a nice guy. I'd probably like him if I ever met him. Unfortunately, it has everything to do with Jake The Player & now Jake The Coach. Thomas was given the starting DT position for years much to the detriment of the team. Starting Thomas blocked development for younger guys who needed to play.. When he did play, it usually was sub standard & not up to the level we needed. Now he's been given the DL coaching position by the same head coach who has been gifting him everything for years. Hard not to see the entitlement. That's on Osh for creating that stigma.
