Not huge in the big scheme of things but the OP left out housing, medical, and per diems from the SMS cost.

Yours or mine? Glad you can read intent into my posts asshat. I meant no harm or foul, was just making sure I was understanding what he was asking.

I completely agree. Kelly's biggest failings were as an ego driven GM, who was given waaaay too much power, too soon and wore too many hats. If he had started as a HC first and worked his way up to GM etc. he may have had a better chance of success. You just don't make a guy like that the face of the franchise and give him unchecked power over the organization. Saskatchewan are you listening? Apparently not....because Jones, and the Riders, are walking the almost idenitical path to Mike Kelly and Bombers circa 2009. I know how that movie ends and this time I kinda like it.

Crapigna himself said he struck it well. Just missed it.

You don't know how a silent count works? It's practiced religiously and the players count off in their head.

The Riders desperately need to get off the shnide because a lot of the fans are losing their enthusiasm methinks. That's just a fact with all teams when they are struggling...the fans eventually become numb.

The kicker I have seen that is overpaid is Crapigna. What is EI maximum? ...because that is the size of paycheque he should be getting.

The Riders were as fired up and played as hard as I've seen them play under Jones. That got them a close beat down on a day that you have to believe meant the world to them. Nope, sorry...it's all down hill from here for the Riders. Those are the kind of losses that break your spirit and divide your locker room.

Please add Chris Jones to the mix. He stinks so bad the smell has wafted into Manitoba.

Geez that's one B-rate depth chart. Yikes...

Yea...because drinking moosepiss Pilsner will ease anyone's pain. It's why you guys are such sore losers.

Mosaic has to be the dumbest Rider fan I have ever seen....and that's saying a lot because I spend time at Riderfans. To come to a Bomber forum so deluded and short on facts is just mind numbing. He deserved the beat down he got....now he should get the ban hammer. When your proof of the Bombers not being good is Jamal Westerman, you truly are one stupid mofo. The guy is one of the best DE's in the league.

Stick your hand in a wood chipper for five seconds and you will still have enough fingers to count all of Glenn's wins as a starter in the last 3 years.

The Steelers did that while playing CFL rules football featuring two rookie LBers and a soft as butter interior DL? Wow...they must have had Chris Jones coaching them.

Rush 3 and Harris will the offensive player of the week. Rush 4 and we will pick that weak sauce secondary apart. Couple that with the brain farts and penalties they will take and it's an easy Bomber win provided our defence is even semi decent.

No you are correct. However, outside of the league mandated minimum there is no free access to coordinators.

LOL. You're clearly deluded.

Nope. The ban is still in effect for members of the media talking to assistants. They have lightened it up a bit though. Tait gets the access he gets because he is a Bomber employee and his message doesn't go out without being signed off on.

Wasn't talking about their last gig...I was talking about ability. Nichols is clearly a capable starter entering the upside of his career....Glenn is a former starter whose play has degenerated over the past several seasons to the point he could only find employment as a backup until Jones hubris left him with no other options. I imagine you will be too obtuse to see the difference between the two and that just proves the theory about Riderfans being delusional.

You're playing a backup at QB. Nuff said.

Clark was an absolute pylon last year. Not a CFL calibre centre. Dyakowski looked absolutely awful in preseason and even towards the end of last year. Coleman is a pylon as well. If Labatte, and I agree he has been declining, slips even a notch from last year then the Riders will have the worst OL in the league coupled with the least mobile QB. That's a recipe for disaster. Glenn's quick release may limit the sacks but will ratchet up the INTs. I just don't see any way that the Riders will be a playoff contender this year.

They don't have a running back. No offense to Marshall but he's a short yardage guy. They simply don't care about running the ball, and coupled with Coleman at RT, Dyakowski at RG, and Clark at C, being the pylons they are it's going to mean a lot of sacks and interceptions by/for Glenn.

Nobody sees it except the handful of Jones acolytes on Riderfans. There is no depth and very little talent on that team with the exception of their receivers. The rest of their team is hot garbage.

Taylor is an excellent statistician but he has shown time and time again that he does not have a hot clue about predicting winners.

Actually they did have Harris rotating in at receiver at times during camp. Although the direct swap out wasn't made between him and Flanders, I do believe that when we are able to get Flanders in the lineup that we may see this happen. I don't think we have the luxury of Flanders in game one, but I believe we will find a way to get him onto the 44 this year for some games.
