You move on from: 1. Jake because he's not productive (9 tackles this year in 18 games), isn't cheap. 2. Kyrie Wilson because he's older, you have two young Canadian linebackers who need time and he's solid but not an all-star. 3. Kolo-He's the worst center in the CFL. 4. Streveler-Injuries have taken a toll. 5. Schoen-See above. 6. Mitchell and Logan-Signings that didn't work out. Then you need to have serious discussions about: 1. Jefferson-I don't think he's worth 200k. I think he's on the decline. I don't buy the lack of production entirely being about scheme. Now if he was on a cheaper contract and you knew he was going to rotate, maybe he's back. 2. Vaughters-Not sure he's worth 165,000. Honestly I think you need to move on from at least one of Vaughters and Jefferson. 3. The secondary. Holm, Nichols and Kramdi all made between $140,000 and $150,000. I don't think you can afford to spend some much on the secondary. Not sure who you let go. Parker given his injury history and inconsistent performance likely needs to be moved on from. 4. Oline-Do Stan and Neufeld want to come back? Should they?

If you had Demski, Clercius and Nield at WR, you could go 3 american Olinemen and you might be better overall.

Emilus is another guy that I'd love to see Winnipeg add. (I know the Riders will make signing him a priority).

Dolegala was taking snaps in Hamilton this year.

I'd get rid of Logan.

Me too and he has the right passport.

Ok but how do you feel about Jason Boltus?

If you could land Philpot, a trio of Philpot, Demski and Clercius starting, 2 on the OL and 2 on D would likely make us better.

Zach needs help but can't blame it all on Hogan. Zach is 16-14 with 34 tds passes and 31 ints over the past two years. The decline is real.

The issues with Zach are: A) He's declining B -He and Management don't want to admit it C) He's still our best option

Will Zach realize his limits and adjust his style of play?

Its just a flesh wound

Which one was the kid from Murdoch?

Has to be academics with Sims. He had something like 18 offers.

I know its early but any guys that we should be hoping for in the draft? Tangent but sort of related, the U of M had 5 Canada West All Stars this year. Any of those kids legit future prospects?

As long as his slogan isn't Make MBB Great Again.

Nope. I am getting my pitchfork and torch ready.

The final regular season game he got reps, it was not an exhibition game and he showed he could contribute and was worth rotating in. I'd have rotated him in for Wilson, Jones and Kramdi depending on the set the D was running.

So given the Coaching Cap, we're stuck with them if things go bad, correct? Again, Wade should have given them one year deals. Its a tiny sample size but given how he played in the last regular season game, Smith should have been getting reps on D all year.

I hope we upgrade our National receivers enough so we can drop Rudy, I mean Corcoran

Hypothetical, if we lose Brady but sign one of Mills, Butler or Bell and save about 90-100k, how do you feel?

Serious question, am I the only one who felt last night felt like a Riders home game?

After last night, I feel like

It felt like a ******* Rider home game at the PAS tonight.
