In the end, O'Shea's 2 time refusal to settle for easy FGs and to gamble on 3rd down is what gifted the game to the Lions. O'Shea out coached Wally and then out smarted himself by being an overconfident gambler.

Can we draft a Defensive Coordinator ? 🤣
You might be looking for more than a DC if LaPolice decides to apply for the vacant next year HC job with the Lions.
And if the current trend in Riderville continues there could be a HC vacancy in Regina or perhaps LaPolice might apply for the GM job.

Apparently they’re converting Elam to receiver ... you can’t make this up
Actually, you or someone can make stuff up as Elam a DB has been brought in by the Riders to try out at CB.
Otoh, the QB that Riders recently released was not brought in to be a QB but to try out as a CB. So, Mike it turns out that you are right after all....you can't make this stuff up.

Do you guys really think Chris Jones even wants Durant on the Riders team? He was correct in his previous assessment of Durant when let him go to the Als and nothing has changed.
Lets be real here. The emergence of Strevler would likely not have happened if Durant hadn't retired, so it turns out that every penny that Durant did not deserve to keep turned out to be the best $70k in cap money that the Bombers have ever spent.

Montreal signs two quarterbacks in the last few days.
appears as though Drew's career is drawing to a close. this is his 8th season.
the other day their coach said Drew had a lot of potential.
Never mind his opinion about Drew Willy, if the Als coach knew anything about the CFL, he would not have signed on with the Als.
-
Wasn't it Chapdelaine when he was Als HC that wanted Adams gone? So a different coaching staff might help Adams to decide to return to the Als. That and the fact that no other team has as much need at QB as the Als.

The Charleston Hughes experiment is done, they can get equal performance at better value from Brooks. It's a proven concept!
Except that the unproven concept is getting a 300lb DT to play rush end and be able to drop back into pass coverage as Jones likes his DEs to be able to do.
Of course Jones being Jones his plan is likely to be converting Brooks to the O Line.

This case will be quickly dismissed.
That moron got exactly what he deserved and the law won't punish Young.
It is a civil matter, not criminal law, but likely will be settled out of court. Guy's lawyer will meet with B.C. Place's insurance claim adjuster who at best might offer to rescind the B.C. Place imposed one year ban and then probably with conditions such as agreeing not to consume alcohol while at games . Any cash payout would for starters need a doctor's report detaining injuries found upon examination.
There also could be a cash payout to make the guy's lawyer go away if BC Place or the Lions feel the case is bringing bad publicity to the team. Or it could be the opposite if it is felt that paying a drunk trespasser goes against public opinion.
OTOH we live in a country whose government thought it was necessary to pay $10M to a terrorist murderer because when he was caught and tortured by the Americans, Canada did not try to intervene on behalf of the terrorist.

I don't understand why they are facking around with Carter at DB?
Riders are thin depth wise at a few positions but not at WR/SB and until they can get a DB up to speed, Carter is a short term fix. Riders likely plan on playing a lot of Man to Man and Carter can run with anyone.

They didn't sign him then because he was no where near better than Durant. Its funny what starts looking good when you are desperate
Well, my point is that Bombers should have been more desperate for a CFL experienced backup once Durant retired instead of only trying to do something after Nichols got injured. I never inferred that Gale was better than Durant.
Edit: Actually Bombers didn't do anything re: a CFL experienced backup until 3rd string QB Ross got injured so it took 2 injured QBs to actually do anything...weird.
-
Bombers need a QB on the active roster that actually has some CFL experience and Gale fits the bill, having played in several different offensive systems. Too bad for the Bombers that they didn't sign him once Durant retired so he could have attended TC.

I see cfl.ca is in mid-season clueless form with their asinine power rankings to start the season. Rider 4th overall, Bombers 7th overall. LMFAO.
I am not sure about the Riders ranking, but Bombers at 7th with a starting QB that has never even seen a regular season CFL game live, might be a generous ranking. And O'Shea didn't help his QBs in pre season because like Chris Jones he spent all the pre season games evaluating and no time giving his inexperienced QBs game time playing with the starters.

Sask media babbling about Chris Jones' brilliance in not announcing his starting QB to the media... because he wanted to keep Toronto off balance.
Ugh - its not even Game One.
Jones, the ultimate strategist, has spent all of pre season evaluating players and almost no game time getting his QBs and starters playing together.
Rest assured that Trestman will have his D well prepared for the different styles of both Rider QBs.

Listening to either is like choosing between a kick to the junk or a punch to the junk; both are equally lousy and painful.
However, at least Suitor has solid knowledge and insight on the game. Black is just an all-around nuisance who spends more time babbling like an idiot and coming up with some of the dumbest nick names ever.
"Mr. Hall of Fame" "Mr. Milestone" "Mr. YAC"
I like nicknames so that is the only thing about Black that I like, although admittedly only about 1 in 10 that he comes up with are any good.

And like watching a train wreck, we won't be able to look away. Brilliant!
Drama sells, so look to the CFL's reigning drama queen, Darian Durant to be on a TSN panel in the near future, followed by Kavis once he gets fired.

I agree... but he might be tough to evaluate with our B-team O-line...
Might have been tough to keep Nichols upright and healthy with the B team Oline facing the Lions 1st string D but now isn't it even more important with Nichols injured to protect the remaining QBs? However, as a Lions fan I am happy that we don't have a HC that is as reckless as O'Shea.

Depth chart:
Looks like they mixed up the weak side and strong side on the defence.
Just wondering where you got the depth chart from? When I go to the Bomber website all I can find is 2016 and 2017 depth chart, nothing for Fridays game against the Lions.

Gotta make him fly all the way here before suing him in person.
No need to sue Darant, just get him to drive to Winnipeg, then pull a Kavis and ask him to take a pay cut; $70k sounds right but a drop in pay of $100k would be better.

People on here have lost their minds if they think another team is going to give away their backup QB (regardless of what is offered) so that they can help the Bombers and at the same time put their own team at risk if a QB gets injured.
Esks have Glenn in case Reilly gets injured. Riders have Bridge in case Collarus doesn't work out etc. I sound like Captain Obvious, but apparently it is necessary to state the obvious.

Yeah but when Willy went down we had crap behind him...and a lot of crap around him.
Makes no sense to trade or give up assets for a QB that really is only a prospect much like what we have...but I feel has less upside than our 3 currently...we have pieces and system here to be successful if you are smart.
Only trade I would make is if we could pry Lulay out of B.C..if it didn't cost too much
Lulay is a month away from being ready to play, but it doesn't matter as no team is going to trade away their 2nd string QB. Except Tillman might trade his starter.

Carter played DB...sure....but isn't a superstar at it...or even great...and if he plays more this year it will be exposed....and he isn't the best reciever either....what year has he cracked the top 5...let alone top 10...once maybe??
What makes the most sense for the Riders would be to have Carter play WR and back up DB so that he could then go full time both ways if there was an in game injury to a DB. They could then dress one less backup DB.

How does he have Carter 2 and Roosevelt way down the list? Naman played 4 less games and had better stats?
Carter plays WR and DB.
Darian Durant Retires
in Blue Bomber Discussion
Posted
Durant is Bomber property until early Feb. 2019. So any comeback for this season would require a trade for his rights and possibly $70k in cash.
If I were running the Bombers I would offer Durant an outright release for $70k. and then let him pick his own team because it is unlikely any team will trade for Durant's rights.
