Hansen is a global..so doesn't use up a DI spot.. And we still have Hallet and Exume who can work and progress for reps like Jones did.. Antihga is very versatile as he can play off edge..as will..or safety..and being a former reciever and having g 4.5 speed in 40 would not be outmatched on boundary corner...so he is the perfect piece to be able to DI 2 guys for offence

Yeah the poor me shtick in full force..its hard on them when players dont see Sask as the creme de la creme like they see it...and really.. who would wanna spend 6 months in Regina if u didnt have to

Yeah..all that with a quality backup..I sure hope we can use Antigha as dual DI..with possibility of him going to safety if a db goes down and we move alexander into the injury spot..then possibly be able to use 2 DI spots for Grant and one of Bailey..Whitehead..or whoever impressed.. I would even alter them game by game so both stat involved and come playoffs the one who produced best..plays

I mentioned before..even though it was just pre season but the poise he showed in the pocket.. moving around in it to stand in there and make his reads and deliver the ball where it needed to be was very noticeable..and impressively rare for a raw rookie..I see why team is high on him..and he has a friggin gun

There are multitude reasons for him to sign here..chance to win..chance at playoff scratch..a proven and well known atmosphere and locker room..quality and no question marks about organization across the board.. Walker..Lawler..Adam's.. Woli..Demski...Andrew..that friggin O-line...good god... Sprinkle in sets with Lucky/Grant...damn..and just imagine the space Andrew is gonna have to work with cause u are always gonna have 2 guys focusing on where Walker is headed..and you cant sleep on Lawler or Adam's either..Woli and Demski will have a field day in the slot

Obviously they need to start a national at reciever.. who the hell will it even be..they have no proven experienced ones..Lavoie? Oh please please be him haha

And next to zero depth across board..man he is losing his mind there..used to value his insights..not anymore

yEAH it worked at first, but Lapo never deviated away from it and every time a set with Woli sliding to the inside and one of Adams and Lawler went into bunch formation it was always the dump..screen...never expanded that play or used it to set up anything....could see it a mile away pre-snap and teams just consumed him and after about the 4th game he got so beat up and pounded you could see he was not playing at 100% anymore...poor guy got pummeled The bizzare thing is that everytime they went to him deep he had his guy beat and if the QB could have hit him...he was gone...and wasn't for his lack of effort or trying..several times he laid it all out extending himself trying make the catch, but was always just outta reach

you can stretch a field vertically with any receiver tho...and we didn't do a lot of it. If a guy is continually going deep...posts..cornered..flies and you show that you will throw to him...teams need to respect that and keep a guy on him, and if a guy is a real burner, 9 times outta 10 your gonna cheat your safety over that way, at mid level to be there for over top help. With a guy like Whitehead, why we were not using him...or Grant like that is baffling and don't wanna hear an excuse like "yeah but they aren't good route runners" or something along those lines...you don't have to be, and with speed like Lucky and ability to make moves in and out of routes, and stop and go and get to top speed in a stride or two, he'd be a real pain in a teams arse..and frankly, he runs routes just fine and you have to give him a cushion anyway, or else you will be toast more often than not

Who's this and why u post it..he sign for TC?

no...he was relaxing because him a Dickie said they had no holes in their roster...why waste time

yeah...surprised tho in the sense they didn't, but not like he was wishing they did...lol

You will probably never see Jake and Griffiths in together other than injury or short yardage...and will see lots of 3 ends altogether in the modified Cheetah (seeing as Kongbo gone we can't go full cheetah due to ratio) We went heavy with that last year in last 4-5 games and was highly effective. I still also think Walter's is doing a bit of a smoke screen and we may still employ a young Canuck at safety and allow us to be more creative upfront like last year...and this signing kinda has the sneaky makings of that....Alexander is great there, but really if you have a guy who is athletic and can close on a ball, and has moderate to good cover skills (something Hecht didn't) but both Hallet and Exume do then his value to the overall defence is better at half or corner...All of a sudden a backfield of Jones..Johnson..Taylor..Alexander with the option to have Richardson in a nose type spot with a combo of the jeff's and one of McCallister...Toby A and Hansen coming from all over...with Bigie now getting free reign to do whatever...could be pretty lethal

Yeah and only 26 so has upside..had 30 tackles and 5 sacks in 2017 in limited reps

Was he not a converted DB/safety hybrid that Jones got to play at end..LB.. wherever?

SMS I think for this yr is 5.7m

I like this signing..if anything he is an upgrade big time to Kory Jones as the DI He can also be serviceable at safety..guy is pretty dam quick

And how Bryaant was all over downfield crushing people in the run game..

Solid depth piece..I think he even slid back to safety too at times

exactly...if yougot a good punter..and a good kicker who are Canadian both are making in excess of 100k...so we are saving in that regard, and I think Meddy is about 165-170...he took a shave from 2017...that I know

Interesting to hear Willie say the fact Darvin Adam's re-signing was a big influencing factor and got his attention the most in his decision and making it easy., and what a Leader Darvin is on the offence side of ball, and he hope's he can be the same type of leader on the defense. Kind of parlays what a lot of people have hinted at in regards to how Important Darvin is to the team... Also he isn't all about the money and he wants the "team" to be able to build around him and make the team better, and all share in a piece of the pie...which goes totally against what a lot of the Rider fans chirp about

Yup although not an official stat...yet still tracked...leading league in pressures doesn't matter...and yeah a pass knockdown...16 times which is uncanny is as good as a tackle after a first down is gained...yeah ok.....6 force fumbles during season which led league is meaningless too...it's the same as an incomplete pass...didn't you know that?? They like to chirp about Hughes having more tackles, yet lack the insight or the ability to think that maybe teams ran at Hughes more than they did at Willie, and a lot of those tackles were in chase after the ball carrier had gained yards...sour grapes is all it is..he spurnned them...then burned them...then signed back here despite all their theories and assumptions about the guy. Sad thing is if he had decided to return there, and it would have been for his asking price (like we gave him) it would have been well worth the money...a major coup for them and they fleeced us cause Sask is the better place to be, and you would be seeing "welcome home Willie"..."yes!!!"..."we missed you"..."we got the 3 best DE's in league now!!"...and on and on and an...as thats how that folly fanbase works...and it's entertaining as hell reading their drivel

You could see it in the 3rd quarter...they knew they were beat...Bombers were just playing at a faster speed, and more heart...even after a lot of plays..there would be Cats on the field..taking time getting up..laying there for a bit, and the Bombers were sprinting back to the huddle...Look at the scene of the Cat's locke room at halftime...was like a morgue and you could see they were defeated

I would think so...he's a hell of a ST'mer and if an injury occurred in a game he'd be a pretty flexible DI...Can play SAM..Corner and I bet he would make a pretty good Safety as well...guys think he lost a step but he actually has really good speed
