I just think if bc tries to run more it will negate what made their offense work which was "passing yards go brrrrrrrr" they made a ton of big plays. You run you are basically committing to a more methodical march down the field style.

I noticed D'Abreau (or however he spells it) a bunch too, but if rivers is a guy they've been high on for a while he will naturally get more chances

BC Lions "who needs a run game?"

Which is sadly a huge step up

Are they though? It was 3-0 bombers when the 2nd string guys started getting subbed out. Riders 2nd and 3rd stringers better than the Bombers 3rd and 4th stringers? Sure.

Ritchie Hall and a soft vanilla d, name a more iconic duo.

They just didn't sign him. I don't think it as ever a moving on thing so much as gaming numbers

No you launched into your tired old tirade when evidence points to this situation not being the same. I agree there's too much loyalty to some aging vets... but I don't think it's a problem on offense really (other than my personal belief that Eli should be a starter somewhere). I know you loved BOLO, but nit like demski or wolitarksy are a problem. He just got caught in a deep spot. You have gone off the deep end on this issue I am sorry to say. Even I'm tired of it and I agree there are some issues, but you're building thus up to be too much.

Oh for Christ's sake.. the last time there was an open spot at receiver we wound up with Dalton schoen... I think they've earned a little bit of trust on this particular issue.

I dunno, I largely agree that there are some roster management issues that the team falls into, I also think that the constant harping on it is getting to be a bit much. I mean we haven't even seen any cuts yet! It's a new year, let's wait until **** actually happens to get all angsty about it.

Brown reminds me a bit of Kevin Glenn.

Been good enough to barely lose. It's pretty telling when the only time Lapo has a winning record as a head coach was when swaggerville dragged his ass to wins.

Seriously though, i think it's worth coming up with a list...

And really both ints that the guy threw were identical. Right to a player he obviously didn't account for. That's learning the game with an extra body.

Well if she wanted to be happy she shouldn't have married me... wait what were we talking about?

The fact that there's even a debate is a big LOL to that sad sack franchise.

I think this is a big part of it too... based purely on one preseason game, this years crop of recruits looks way better than last year

Anyone who thought Thomas wasn't going to be in the plans was only fooling themselves. The second he was brought back he was in the plans. I actually think this year there has been a lot of the moving on and won't be as bad as last year.

I doubt they'd do that. Especially if he was looking to be ahead on the depth chart during practice. Going in 3rd in the game isn't any indication either, I seem to recall people saying they do that to see how a guy does potentially in a tight game situation. To me the question now is whether they keep a qb on the PR or not.

Yeah given that some linebackers showed well in preseason one I'd bet Cole is Sam and we get wilson/whoever at the other spot.

It is a huge change from last year where the best we could say was "well haba was around the pile a bit I guess"

Which was where this whole mess started last year. They had options to use more DL and they didn't and the team suffered as a result. 90% of the roster management angst goes back to this. You can debate it, but it's wrong... I agree he played well and showed a hell of a lot more than last year... but the most impactful DL? No I give that honour to Garbutt.

Mullinder adds absolutely nothing to the broadcast... literally only there to verbally fellate the rider players. There's no insight just so and so having a great camp, a player that I actually really like, great call by coach!

Riders played that one to win. Bombers played to get a look at some guys.

Yeah with him it wasn't the stats that caught my eye, he just seemed to always be in the mix. I was sold based on his one game last year but this just further cemented it.
