I just assume that any Canadian with any kind of pedigree is going to land in Saskatchewan cause they are such a mess with their ratio.

so replacing an allstar tackle with a guy who hasn't done the job before, what is your fascination playing guys in strange positions just for fun?

BC wanted to win that game plain and simple, why else was the #1 offense out there into the third quarter? BC wanted the win, Winnipeg was looking at their backups.

Neufeld at tackle is bad news, but we saw what the line looked like without Bond and Neufeld at guard last year, and it was fine, as good as it was all year. So I dunno why we would even entertain Neufeld at RT when that has been a disaster every time they've tried it, but having 2 american tackles and 3 canadians inside worked at the end of last year. Bond was great and a big part of changing the fortunes of this team when he went in, and the Riders are absolute idiots for thinking they have better options than him, but the simple fact is that the Bombers have spent a lot of draft picks on the offensive line and have done well bringing in other American offensive linemen that we are in a position where we can lose a guy like Bond and carry on with a strong offensive line.

It's not about the leader it's about the party. Liberals in Ontario passed everyone off so it's the PC's turn as the NDP are too fringe.

Proportional representation only gives a louder voice to fringe elements. I much prefer our current system because it forces governments to appeal to moderates in order to win.

Being able to run is fine, but if you can't play from the pocket you won't succeed in the cfl today.

Yeah cutting Bond is a case of Jones having no clue how to build a roster when there is a ratio to deal with.

Like Davis?

The thing I like about Walters is that he is open to all avenues for improving the roster.

god you start a lot of useless threads.

As usual a rider fan doesn't know **** about the league outside of Saskatchewan. Jones scooped him from the Bombers. The only move that guy has is grabbing people from better teams.

In my mind yes. I always thought he was better than Alexander last year and being so young thought he had a ton of potential.

Yeah he started well here, but he got broken with the pounding he took. Same deal with Collaros. Was good once upon a time but broken now.

Or maybe your team is just so mismanaged that they have no idea how to build an OL and just say "**** it" and axe the big free agent acquisitions and say "we will have a shitty OL but at least it'll be cheap!"

But I thought the tariffs were a national security issue! This guy can't keep any story straight and yet the base eats up every thing he says.

Faith never surpassed the level of Jake Thomas so no point keeping him forever just because. Montgomery I guess just too many other good guys at the position. Betting they asked him to take a pr spot but he declined.

You know when Denmark was a rookie it was other guys who grabbed the attention in camp yet Denmark remained and did damned well. Sometimes it's not about the few big plays it is the consistency.

I have it on good authority that Dennis wished he'd never gone to sask in the first place as well. Jones just has no clue.

oh man why do people ever sign a deal with Jones when he treats guys the same year after year.

Not going to lie, I was really hoping Owens would be a starter for the riders.

White dropped passes in both games. Not a real surprise he was one of the guys to get cut. Plenty of times reports from camp aren't truly indicative.

It's Chris Jones. When your leadership is a bunch of tools the players act like a bunch of tools. Calgary has classy folks in charge and their players act better. Same deal in Winnipeg. It starts at the top and trickles down.

So I get that white has made some plays, but he's also dropped a few. Ot sure he is a lock.

Totally. He got broken taking so many hits here. Any hint of pressure and he turtles.
