Any thoughts on Tyler Adams ? i don't remember hearing his name with the crew doing the online game( surprise!) but he did lead all recievers in the game. Possible unknown stepping up?
they dubbed him "Batman" since they didn't have him on their roster sheet apparently. But that's better than just closing their eyes and picking a name, which they were seemingly doing every other play.
I'm pretty sure the first pass thrown to him was kind of behind him in traffic that he let fall through his hands but then made some nice plays on the last 2 drives of the game.

So do the Riders have 25 or 19?
According to the pbp they just won the grey cup

Well if nothing else at least today we saw a nice sack by Liam Dobson, a quick handoff to Jake Kelly and some tight coverage by Chris-Ike

maybe with Sask having Harris, Fine and Pipkin they'll let Patterson go and we can scoop him. He had a couple nice throws in his limited action.
-
I hope they let Dobson throw a few passes as well

You aren't riveted to the edge of your seat by the Dolegala debate? lmao
We're longing for the days of Darrell Hackney lazers and Ramonce Taylor kick returns ripping up TC

If we're moving on from the Gauthiers, Millers etc on special teams, a vet guy like Thomas to play specials and spell off the occasional play at DT for Lawson isn't a bad thing, even if the plan is still to bring in a NAT DE (Kongbo) as well.
One of Lawson and Kongbo playing 85% of the snaps on the DL with Thomas and Anthony Bennett playing the other 15% isn't the end of the world.

The big kick in the nuts with the Kolankowski contract is simple. It's no secret they're trying desperately to find the money to keep Olivera around (else he'd be signed right now) and Kolankowski was probably the most obvious "vet" to let walk with an internal replacement. From an on-paper fan POV, it's as easy as subtracting Kolankowski and one of Neufel/Gray and replacing them with Eli and Dobson, then rostering a new young guy as the 6/7 and saving a bit of cash. Pretty much any other veteran FA we have, there aren't nearly as many internal options to replace them, if any at all. That's the main driver of the Kola contract hate. It has little to do with whether he's an average starter or whether he's being paid like a middle of the pack OL or a bottom end starter.
Plus there's also the last 2 seasons of doing the same thing and seeing the same results (losing in the grey cup) and an obvious place to try something new was the interior of the OL, which showed more cracks last season than it has in any of the previous 5.

OL is starting to show its age this season. Ever since the BC game Collaros has been under pressure a ton.

Harris (in my opinion) is the second best quarterback in the league.
Still doesn't mean he's good.
Both can be true.
That's way more telling of how bad the current generation of CFL QBing (and coaching) is than anything Harris has done with the Riders.
The Doug Berry/Kevin Glenn mediocrity combination of decades past would be in the top 3-4 of the league this season.

Here's what I do know:
Sites been down for awhile and nobody has heard anything more than what you folks who emailed the org know.
End of last year ModAdmin was talking to his contact with the team to have the forum tech upgraded. I being a longtime moderator and software developer by trade offered to help if needed. The club does have an IT guy of some sort but I was never looped in at that point and nothing came of it.
Earlier this season ModAdmin reached out to me to look into the extended board functionality to see what could be done from our end to try and upgrade the site. At that point I was upgraded to a site admin account and was able to dig through the forum admin screens, however I soon hit permissions and access hurdles trying to copy update versions to their back end servers. At that point ModAdmin contacted the club again to see if we could get access or have their people take it on. This was in June/July and we hadn't heard anything since.
I don't believe this outage was planned and for now we just have to hold our breath and wait.

GDT Testing our offence without a QB
in Blue Bomber Discussion
Posted
Hopefully Bloi-Dei Dorzon shows well tonight, and I'd watch for Jon Oosterhuis to have a bigger role in the offence this year.
