Interesting that he's getting the blame... sure looked like a bobbled hold to me.
Crapigna himself said he struck it well. Just missed it.

Just curious on those FG kicks Dressler doesn't call for the snap and I don't hear anything from Medlock either. How does the C. know when to snap the ball?
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.

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.

including the 9 games played in sask in 2015, glenn is exactly 0-10 as the riders starting QB... just sayin
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.

You are oversimplifying it. There are lots of reasons to rush 3 and several schemes that run it a great deal. The same teams who rush 3 usually also bring 5 or more often as well. Also, the Riders have an outstanding defensive mind at the controls. Pre-snap: show 6 rushers. The QB is going to look for a hot receiver. Post-snap: bring 3 rushers drop 3 into the flat and shallow middle. QB now has to either throw into coverage or wait it out.
Bringing 3 doesn't indicate that the defense is going to be soft on the running game. The Steelers have done that for years and had the best run defense.
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.

I recall that initially, only O'Shea could talk to the media. Coordinators and assistant coaches could not. He was very clear on that. I also recall reading something about the league mandating that coodinators be made available. So, maybe you are right, but my memory says different.
No you are correct. However, outside of the league mandated minimum there is no free access to coordinators.

Obtuse? Did you look that one up? Of course I can clearly see the difference. Nichols needs to take the next step this year to solidify himself as a capable starter I would say. Glenn is done and is a stop gap for us. I still think he has some wins left in him however, especially against you.
LOL. You're clearly deluded.

I believe that this is a league mandated thing
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.

so are you. Nichols wasn't a starter anywhere else before now
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.

He didn't show much. But who knows?
The Rider Oline is a couple of years from maturing. Clark, Dyakowski, Coleman are not the answer. I made a comment on the old site that Labatte was rapidly declining. Still believe that. Dennis will be good.
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.

The other thing is regarding their offense: they have an incredibly talented group of receivers but unless McAdoo all of a sudden wakes up and realizes he needs to run the football as well AND they all of a sudden have a threat at that position ... you're not going to see them being effective.
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.

I read a lot over there about their depth. I just don't see any. If they had depth they wouldn't be signing has-beens like Jovan Johnson. Depth behind QB? RB? Secondary? DLine? I don't see it.
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.

Yeah, Flanders really sold himself on me this TC and actually improved his game, so great depth and yeah, prob a luxury right now until we sort out the defence.
Though I'm not sure why we havn't schemed to have offensive sets with Flanders in the backfield and Harris swap out with the canuck receiver and bring in Normand as tight end...and at times actually utilize the TE with passing plays as to keep the defenses honest and not key on anyone
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.

Okay, you have to admit you're starting to really reach here... I think the argument that Danny Mac is not our point man for QB recruitment is officially dead.
I don't think anyone was disputing that. The original thoughts that I was responding too was a poster insinuating that the Bombers coaches would know less about Apodaca than McManus even after seeing him in the April camp, rookie camp, and the first half of training camp. It is my argument that in that time span they would have learned as much, or more, about Apodaca than what McManus would have during scouting.

Listen around 20:00, Bauming speaks to McManus about bringing in Apodaca.
http://www.tsn.ca/radio/winnipeg-1290/cfl-60-may-29-2017-1.764721
He scouted him for years. Could've been watching 5 minutes of tape a year for all we know. Doesn't mean anything other than he was on McManus's radar for a while....probably like a hundred other QBs. At any rate, my point remains, there is no way that McManus would've known more about Apodaca or any other Bomber QB he recruited than the coaching staff would learn after a couple weeks of practice.
Who was our worst coach?

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.
