*Some* think that CM Punk is doing this because his opponent looked legit and he is chickening out. I wouldn't doubt this since he looked perfectly healthy on tv the other week and it's very odd timing for him to pull out if this has been an ongoing issue with him for a long time.

Seems odd that they would bail on him?

Corey Watson could block and yet those screen passes still were useless.

It all depends on who steps up, if no one does anything then he might be retained.

Lol so is he suppose to follow the guy and take pictures?

Ladd straight up for Stamkos!

I can't remember Lapos play calling but it couldn't of been as bad as MB dealing with the blitz.

Capicotti is the only big name. Lawrence is not even a starter...hardly a huge name. Good utility guy on offense.

Dressler, Smith, Messam and Chick are better then the guys you replaced them with. You replaced all star level talent for above average depth.

In the end do the Riders have more talent now then what they had at the end of last season? IMO that answer is no.

....

In fairness to Riderfans.com ... for the few forum threads that I checked out they were pretty positive about Ryan Smith and did say the Blue made some good moves. I think only a vocal minority of people on that site is making the more foolish comments.

Trouba hits more rails then Myers though

17 and Potato

You don't see them going for Fuller?

Myers is not going anywhere .... that name should be left out for any fantasy trades.

Laing and Capicotti both are very good and would be definitely a boost in talent for them. I'd rather they both go elsewhere. Gutting the defense made 100% sense to me.... Pretty much any name DB is an improvement and Sherritt is still out there... so still time for them to improve

This isn't Taman like signings.... we didn't over spend by 50 - 100 to get a short term player... we didn't lose any draft picks either and most of the guys we signed are young.

Buck was an above average QB... I would say he had a Jason Maas like career. Didn't reach the same ceiling as Khari , just one level lower IMO.

We didn't over pay for anyone we are doing fine. Still lots of talented guys we can pick up for depth

Just heard on the radio that huff took a cheap shot on us? Hasn't BC signed more guys then us? Also they said that Moore signed for multi years , Chad Owens changed his twitter account to a pic of a lion and that Cummings is still being looked at.

Interesting move for the Riders, I'm guessing no more Getzlaf? Also 1 year only?

Keeping is an upgrade over Picard so no problem for me with that signing

Any particular receiver you think fits in well?

So far really good guys... kind of makes us forget about the Macho Harris signing lol. I wonder if they sign a big receiver still though....
