From the very first interview I saw with streveler I became a fan. Could instantly see a great attitude.

#1 item in what defines Canada is "not america" the us tries to bully canada damn right we will all come together.

Well they are correct in that Trump will go down in history. It just won't be for the reasons they want it to be. Donald Trump will play a a key role in the chapters titled "The decline of America as a world power"

I am not sure if that's a joke or not... on the surface there is no way that can possibly be true, but on the other hand, Chris Jones....

cause the rest of the team is better, much better. plus for as much starting experience as the riders qbs have, they're not terribly impressive quarterbacks.

Interesting that Bennett is #2

are Bridge and Collaros all that different anyway? Both guys are more dangerous outside the pocket than in the pocket. It's totally different than last season when Glenn and Bridge actually were very different and they did catch some teams napping on the job making that switch. Don't envision that working this year.

Sure but the entire discussion is happening because people want to be able to sub off a canadian receiver for an american player (ie. Flanders) so that doesn't make any sense in that situation.

DIs still can't sub freely and if you were to start Corney and make an offensive guy not a DI then all we're doing is weakening the defensive line cause I don't see any depth behind Corney. He gets hurt we can't just throw in the DE that is a DI.

who was hamilton planning on using as their RB? White to me has always seemed like a good back.

That interception was clearly a wrong route because not only was it intercepted, but it was also no where near the receiver, so either the qb totally missed the throw that badly or the receiver wasn't in the spot he was supposed to be. Considering that Streveler is starting the regular season I guess that shows that the receiver was in the wrong spot.

The only way Trump can bring someone to their knees is with a large cash payment in a truck stop mens room. The guy is a pansy of a leader, which is why he tries to chum around with dictators, he figures if he associates with these people then he'll be seen as strong too. The reality is that he's a blubbering weak fool that no one takes seriously.

The ratio really is a simple thing but I find the problem people have understanding it comes down to how it is presented. Too many people think there is a minimum number of Canadian players that need to be on a roster and starting. That is not the case at all, the ratio is set up to limit the number of American players on a roster. Once you start to view the ratio through that lens all the rules are much simpler to understand.

Winnipeg 18-0 everyone else 0-18

I would rather listen to Black than Suitor to be completely honest.

probably the rest of training camp and first preseason game. Streveler was way better in game 1 than Ross, who was pretty terrible. But let's be honest, they talked all camp like Ross had the edge and after the 2nd game everyone around here figured they'd go to Ross as well, but they didn't probably for several reasons that we as fans can't see. I don't think there was any huge gap between them overall, they just obviously like something about Streveler better. I suspect it's the ability to run as well as the intangibles. Dressler specifically has mentioned how impressed he was by Strevelers presence in the huddle, or something like that.

The only reason this thing with North Korea happened was because Trumpy wants to claim that he pulled off something no other president (ie. Obama) could do. Except that any president could have met with North Korea any time they wanted if they were willing to conceed everything like Trump did. Then the summit actually happens and the only thing to come from it is Trump giving concessions to North Korea. It would be laughable if I didn't already know that many people in the USA would believe the **** that Trump is going to claim about the bigly success that this summit was for him.

Well looking at how they did when Bond was hurt last season it'll be no problem. They were every bit as good.

TSN has decided that they need some "personalities" among players to sell the league, plus this lets them kiss the asses of Rider fans which they inexplicably seem to think they need to do. TSN has really gone downhill the last decade, just full on over hyping nonsense.

Was just going to say this, you start more Canadians than required you have room on the roster for american backups who aren't DIs.

The rules are simple, if a DI goes on the field another american must come off. Flanders is a DI you can't pull a canadian off the field for him, he can only go on in place of an american.

Well we didn't have Leggett at the end of the season either, and it seems to me there was a noticeable drop off when he went out too. So yeah compared to the playoff game 2 new linebackers who are in the top teir at their respective positions should damned well improve the D. The other factor to consider is the change in ratio. We don't need to start 3 Canadians on D anymore, we are only looking at starting 1, that right there makes the D much stronger on paper.

Bomber homer mode engaged! Let's go with Bowman cause you know Lapos red zone offense is going to be "throw is up for Bowman"

I am not convinced that the esks OL is great, I think Reilly is the key there. He is a slippery bugger who is hard to sack and is a leading to escape and keep plays alive.

I actually like more threads as opposed to less, what irks me is the people who create a thread for every mundane thought that pops into their head.
