Thanks. Couldn't recall some of them exactly.

Chad Simpson is better than Ford or Grisby but getting off topic.

Players brought in by Mack: 1. Washington 2. Dunn 3. Wild 4. Bryant 5. Anderson 6. Denmark 7. Watson 8. Kolhert 9. Greaves 10. Vega 11. J. Jones 12. Woods Players brought in by Walters: 1. Bucknor 2. Leggett 3. Randle 4. Johnson 5. Kuale 6.Peach 7. Willy 8. Moore 9. Kelly 10. Grigsby 11. Neufeld 12. JFG 13. Liram H. 14. Bryant 15. Howard 16. Tyler 17. Stoudermire 18. Cotton 19. Frazier 20. Booker 21. Brohm 22. Marve Need to disagree with 17to85, Mack didn't bring in most of the players on the team and certainly not most of the starters. Willy, Grisbby/Cotton, Moore, Kelly, Leggett, Randle, Johnson, Bucknor, Kuale, Peach, Howard, Tyler is half of our starters. January and Morley predate Mack too.

Grigsby was ok, although I admit I was hoping for an upgrade in the off-season. However this just makes him looks selfish. Don't want guys like that.

Unamba is not a keeper. An american who can play teams but do squat on D is not worth a spot.

I'm in the I'd rather see both gone camp. Marcel's offenses are average at best. I'd say the extra 9 yards per game and 2 pts per game can be credited to having an actual QB. Etch's system does not work.

Is Steinheur up after this year in Hamilton? I'd take him.

I think Milt is going to catch four passes for over 200 yards and 4 tds and we hammer the Lions. Wait, it's not 2005?

Budget cut is when you cut the amount of money a government department receives. It is not a cut when you take $ out of a Crown Corp. But by your logic, Autopact should raise it rates and then give the extra money to the Province.

Hydro is a crown corp - they can't *take* from it because it's already government money. Also as a percentage of our GDP, our transfer payments have been decreasing. Actually a Crown Corp is arms length, not another place where the government can take $ out of, although the NDP did so. Look at what transfer payments were and what they are now, the NDP has taken advantage of getting more $ from the Feds.

Who has Bryant opened it up for this year?

The NDP balanced a budget by taking from the rainy day fund, hydro and riding rising transfer payments.

Tough team to get his chance against. Hoping Cotton does well.

Tino is the starter for sure? Really, for a whole game this time? A quarter?

This past off-season was pretty similar to 1999 and even then the club had Milt. In 1999, we improved to 6 wins and picked up some pieces. We've done the same this year.

Nealon Greene refused to talk to Taman?

Having Judy running the city with Selinger running the province scares the heck out of me. Stuff like this makes me wish I was closer to retirement so I could leave the province.

Free agency and Nat OL usually don't go hand in hand. Generally if they make it to free agency they're not that good. Westerman would be a nice upgrade as a starter on the DL with Thomas backing him up. Hope Newman comes back healthy. I could see him playing the spot Sherman is but at a higher level. At minimum, I think Newman means Unumba is gone.

What are the chances Holmes makes free agency?

My understanding was he watched the film because Ryland Wickman's dad gave him the tip, nothing to do with Ray.

Taman also watched game film of Charlie Roberts but didn't bother to contact the QB in that film, Ricky Ray.

Oh I want to win so bad. Anybody else annoyed by Jovon Loudmouth's comments about how Ottawa is still positive and the locker room isn't like the 2013 Bombers? Dude is a buttmunch.

I'd take an upgrade on Marcel myself but I have been wrong before.

Who plays next week after Doege sucks versus Calgary, Vandestone?

So let's say the Riders finish 3rd. Can they win in Edmonton and Calgary with a potentially rusty Durant?
