I'm kind of glad that Punisher was cancelled, I tried making it through the first season but it was painfully slow. I'm hoping it can be re-done something more similar to the Thomas Jane movie and the short he did years later.
I don't think anyone on the team doesn't want to be here, I think this is much more guys dogging it and not putting in a complete effort. Also a bit short on talent on defense where guys like Myers, Kulikov, Morrow seemed to have dropped off quite a bit since last year.
Terrible giveaway by Myers... He's having a bad game same with Wheeler, Roslovic and Laine.
Morrissey deserves all the money he will be getting... that guy seems to never drop off in play.
Jefferson signed first because on Riderfans they were flipping out and then calmed down when Micah signed.
I listened to Jefferson on 1290 yesterday afternoon, aside from his annoyinig habit of going uhhhhh every few seconds the guy seemed to choose Winnipeg because of the culture and the management. He apparently was his own agent and made it seem like he was happy with how the club negotiated with him.
I didn't see very much change in play calling between Streveler and Nichols. I saw one qb being hesitant and dumping it off and the other qb making much quicker decisions and had the arm strength to "knife" it in to guys like Wolly and Thompkins. Far to much last season did we see Nichols struggle throwing balls around the 10 yard mark where a receiver would be in stride and could catch the ball and gather some YAC. From what I watched guys had to dive or go to the ground to make any catches giving them no chance to turning it up field. Streveler was light years better at throwing to guys in stride.
I do agree though that we run way to many passes that suit Nichols where it's a quick dump off and hope that the guy can break a tackle and make it 10 yards. I'd like to see more plays that they used to do with Khari where he chucked it up and let the receivers either make or break the play.
I lol at all these debates, did we factor in that the Rider defense played way more snaps because of how crappy the O was? Who really cares about any of these numbers, the people are playing on new teams and some with new coaches and next season everyone will have different stats.
The quote about Roosevelt not being the type of guy they are looking for leads me to believe they want a taller bigger deep threat. I think Arcenaux signs tomorrow.
As much as I like crapping on Nichols, do you really think a receiver wants to play for Johnny Football in that terrible Montreal offense?
I'm assuming Posey went because of the city and because of the extra money.... I highly doubt anyone is not signing in Winnipeg because of our QB. Plus Streveler will be our guy in 2020 so who would not want to play in our O when he's our starter???
Watch Walker turn down the higher offers from Toronto and Saskatchewan and signs a 2 year deal with the Blue for $250 a season.
Then we go on Riderfans site and watch them flip out
