So skimming here... we are upset because we don't have many new names replacing known players? Why? Crapping on the team because they didn't unearth a hidden gem for the d-line? So does every other club easily pick up hidden gems in every off season? Concerned about 30+ year olds... so we should cut Zach because of age? With all the worries about the d-line and lb crew... are we not allowed to recruit guys come NFL cut day or even before?

And this is where I think it stood out that a complete newcomer outshone him in the pre season.

But Dru Brown was playing against the same ham'n'eggers that Saskatchewan lined up against Piggy and was not staying cool and making erractic throws and decisions. Piggy also has yet to play in real game action surrounded by real full time starters to help him. He was doing this with a an oline that wasn't doing great and getting bad snaps.

Also imagine if he had clean snaps going back to him...

As raw as he is, from what I saw he at least kept calm and didn't panic and clearly is a guy that doesn't drop the moment someone makes any sort of contact with him. He looked far more composed and calm dealing with the bad snaps and pressure then Dru Brown did.

I thought I read that Dennis was going to retire?

Slow it down lol... we all know Strev is coming back to replace Zach when that day comes!

Brown really did himself no favors with forcing a few throws and not going for the easy yards in front of him.

Salima looked slick I'd rather him start over Augustine if need be. Pigrome basically killed any chance of Prukop coming back and I'm good with that.

He was pumping the o-line and how the Riders 1st stringers playing against our 2nd/3rd string players on D is an indication that the o-line woes of the Riders are fixed and that they'll be challenging at the top. LaPo was far more reasonable in his assessment and realization of the results from tonights game.

Post game... Barker is senile get him off the panel. Thinks Riders can challenge for 2nd place.

And in two plays Jones gets cut

So for the 2nd half I'm sold on Piggy and the rb (name is escaping me) both showed very well. Nobody new on D has showed up aside from the one big hit from Caleb Thomas.

None of them and a few two or three year guys also looking very meh Also Suitor already laying out his love for Harris very thick through out this game.

His point of using an argument from 100 years ago is an extreme reach because he can't find anything relevant and recent to use as an example. Everyone is entitled to an opinon, but the problem that some folks on here is that they think that only their opinion matters and that everyone must share that same opinion. Browaty has an opinion, most people agree with him and just because some folks are extremely sensitive they think he's some awful guy and that anyone who supports him is lower then them. Browaty is telling what the majority of people are thinking/saying. I find it comical in the political threads on here that people complain that all politicians at varying levels are fake and play the political game and spew b.s. political games stuff. Finally we have a person who speaks it like it is and apparently it's taboo. This city is having a steep decline in safety outside of the downtown/core area over the last several years and people are tired of it. It goes back to where I am correct in saying that the average person does not want to physically see/deal with "drugged out zombies" and that a safe injection site may be a good idea but 100% NIMBY. Winnipeg will (or maybe currently is) gradually turning into a typical American city where the working folks keep moving further and further away in the 'Burbs so that they can have a nice safe life and the interior of the city spreading out will continue to rot away. It's super sad but as a parent I most definitely want my children being able to go to a mall without being accosted or taking a bus and getting jumped or stabbed by a druggie with a needle.

Lol slavery? Come on now really trying to reach to make a point. When you have a valid argument please let me know, until then you know I am correct in that the vast majority of people think the same thing as what he said. As I said before the truth hurts and being afraid about talking about the truth doesn't do anything to help the situation. It's called tough love and sometimes it's required. Coddling and being an overly sentimental and skirting the issue and trying to be overly sensitive does nothing. Just because people use real words it doesn't mean they don't want the situation to get better or for these people to clean up. Also I'd love to hear the research and facts of having an area with a higher amount of extreme drug users in how this creates a safer environment and a place that prospers and thrives. I'd love to see this research! I await your reponse and try not to use a Hitler reference or something so extremely ridiculous.

I was trying to lighten the mood

Browaty is only saying what the vast majority of the people in Winnipeg think. It may not be nice but it's the truth. The truth hurts. If you don't believe me then go around town and observe the interactions with the drugged up/boozed up people with the average citizen and count how many times these folks use kind words with them in comparison to the folks who run away, yell in self defense, look in fear/disgust, cross a street in advance of approaching them, walk away fast etc.... Randomnly talk to folks and ask them how they feel when they see a bus shelter taking over with garbage, needles, etc... while a senior citizen has to wait in the cold/rain outside because it's unsafe for them to enter the bus shelter.

So this Murphy kid ... starting material ?

Need I provide videos of areas with supervised consumption sites, it's really sad. Seriously look into the actual results and you'll see it's absolutely sad. I don't understand why they don't create an island or remote area where this can be all done away from the public. The safety of the people should be top priority and wouldn't it make sense if they could contain it so that innocent people wouldn't be present when these folks are tripping out.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The truth hurts sometimes, that is life. One of the biggest issues with todays world is how soft and how people want to pretend things are not as bad as they are and/or use excuses. Welcome to the real world.

I can't remember if he was arrested/charged for the DUI thing? Maybe he violated terms?

They are drugged out zombies , I recommend driving over the Disraeli overpass and you'll see them all through out the day just wandering onto the road without any sense of awareness of what is going on. It's night of the living dead and it's sad and at times scary.

He did have a decent rookie year, 2nd season not so much and was cut 3 days before the play offs. Lipped off quite a bit. The only thing that I did not remember was him playing for the Riders and getting into a twitter war with Tina LaPolice after Paul was fired.
