Constantly injured... not sure he would provide much value to us, depending on salary expectations... certainly he's not an upgrade on Shologan or Thomas.

Is It Real?
I am expecting to split both the home-and-away series with BC and Ottawa. Playing in Calgary is a write-off and we should win at home against Edmonton. 3-3 in the last six seems more likely to me. I'm also expecting 2-2 over the next four, for a 9-9 finish. This really does look like a .500 team at this point.

Riders fined another 5 grand
The Riders aren't firing Chris Jones any time soon, lol let's get real here... I think people are making this into a bigger deal than it really is. Almost feels like fans outside of Saskatchewan want Jones to be fired because they're nervous that he will turn things around in Sask given enough time. Let's be honest, Jones and Murphy have had no problem finding and coaching up talent in any of their other stops in the league, they didn't just forget how to do their jobs when Sask hired them.

Odds and Sods - Game 8 - Bombers at Argos
I'm sure Keeping can play guard and we could move a guard (Bond) out to tackle. The biggest requirement IMO is the ability to play Centre because if Goossen goes down, I'm not sure any of our current starters have taken many, if any, reps at centre. So to me, the question is whether Keeping is an upgrade on Couture or not at this point in their respective careers. I'd also suggest that Neufeld is still our second best option at RT after Hardrick, although I'm interested to see how Foketi progresses.

Getting rid of a GM after anything less than 3 years would be insane, barring some sort of massive failure ala Kelly or Reinebold.

I've never seen a pro football player put as little effort in as I saw from Martin on one play in Montreal's last game. He was either tired to the point of total exhaustion or couldn't be bothered to do more than go through the motions. Either way, not a great sign... Edit: I guess this was already mentioned on the previous page by Bigblue204. Oh well. Now I've said it, so you KNOW it's true.

Realistically if a team is a playoff contender, they are a Grey Cup contender. It's the CFL, it only takes one or two wins to make it to the big game once you get in.

Hecht isn't great but the Riders desperately need Canadian DBs.

2nd & 20
They're all low percentage plays in terms of getting a first down. Its 2nd and 20. The short game is favored because the chance of turning the ball over is much lower, it helps in the field position battle and the chance is still there for the player to make a couple guys miss and gain the first down.

Starting Receivers
What do you mean? Looks to me like Harris is having one of the best years of his career.

The CFL says he is at 14 straight field goals. Our special teams as a whole have been very good.

Loved that o-line. Bond was taking penalties but god dam it is refreshing to see an OL that plays angry and pushes people around. Happy honker for Manase Foketi for his first start at right tackle in his life and looking pretty damn good!- Around The League Regular Season Discussion
IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!- Aug 12 - Winnipeg at Toronto
- Bombers vs Argos Aug 12 Depth Charts ETC
Gameday inactives are not listed in the CFL transactions. For example the first entry is Jerald Brown and Kevin Bradfield moving from the PR to the active roster. Nothing to do with gameday inactives.- Mulumba-Bilukidi watch
He wasn't drafted though, he was a UDFA.- Bombers vs Argos Aug 12 Depth Charts ETC
That's speculation not backed up by facts or any recent history. No one carries more than 8 on the roster, no one dresses more than 6. In fact you may find that several OL are on the injured lists but are not injured at all... they're only there because it doesn't make sense to carry them on the roster.- Bombers vs Argos Aug 12 Depth Charts ETC
Not sure what that has to do with anything. We're talking about dressing six vs. seven OL, not how many OL can be crammed on the IR. - 3 stars plus HH
