I'm with @Booch and @JuranBoldenRules in terms of our roster management. Don't like only 2 DEs unless Cooper actually plays as one and don't like us dressing guys like Cooper and Cole on D and them then not getting any reps there. Oh and hate that Holm/Parker pairing.

yup....we lost Jeffcoat last game and the way the roster was constructed...our dline guys basically played the whole gme once he went out, and by 4th quarter were bagged right out....so...we do it again??...like wtf???

and yeah that pairing baffles me....No clue what they see in Holm...sure he is apparently quick...but so are a lot of guys who dont pan out

due to our lack of confidence in them playing up on the line, or true man coverage we play soft and allow play after play in front of them..exactly the only thing the Riders can do....and tho we been limiting TD's and points for most part...we saw what can happen....I dont buy/like the Osh menatality of if guys been here longer he seems to get the shot....even when clearly not better...but whatevs..we 12-2 and guess they know what they doing...but I dont like it

Holm didn’t look out of place last game in the sense that he didn’t generate negative attention and the one play he did give up, he was right there in coverage - it was simply a great play by the offence.  Parker on the other hand has been a liability since he stepped on the field.

Holm didnt look outta place as far as layman seen...but he didn't look stellar or like a legit stud...and from my vantage point he played soft, and also was in wrong place numerous times...as was relayed via some of BA comments, tho he never said names...there was a ripple effect in effect....and it made us look woefully weak and exploitable

I sure he will...and also the Mafia does due diligence in bringing guys in....so I'm sure they are fine with his character, and have asked around, asked current players here, and other contacts...they dont sign whoever all willy nilly ala Jones in Edm and the Riders

Do you mean the fieldside or boundary? Because the CFL doesn't use left and right any more.  You have

 

Fieldside/strongside/wideside

Boundary/weakside/shortside 

Yeah I know what that is...duHHHH....I did play the game and all....I was just saying as to how it is presented in the depth chart, for those who may not know that...makes it easier to not confuse.....

I knew you meant Hodge with the putz comment. Just don't like players on social media lighting up their dressing rooms, even if they are out the door. That's learned behavior from a broken locker room and along with the content of his tweet it illustrates the lack of class that permeates that organization.

oh haha....wasnt sure...I am not bothered by it...said no names...and no specifics to indicate whom he was speaking...just that he needed to be in a better place, and that the enviro there needs to be cleaned up...I kinda applaud him to be honest

He was likely disgruntled there for sure. He probably hated the culture and lack of discipline. However, I am not a big fan of any player who throws shade at his locker room on the way out the door, that is something he must have learned in Riderville and it is something that MOS and our player leadership will need to school him about how the Bombers don't do **** like that. As true as it might be it shows some of the same lack of discipline and class as he is complaining about.

by Putz tho I meant what did John Hodge say...lol...I like the Adams signing and he could flourish here

again...not liking that depth chart...right side of secondary is weak sauce...again...no real DE to rotate...same guy as last game and he never even saw the field...and is he even a true d-end?...weak inexperienced right side of the db back field...Wil is a total joke....and dressing an extra OL again...of whom will not even really make an impact, let alone even see the field...like whats the point...for all Osh's good things...his use of the roster/ratio and who he dresses more times than not is garbage...almost surprising we been as successful as we have been

i have no issues either...kinda like it

Torn achilles so not likely. 

Never was stated as a torn Achilles...same with Wilson...and fact Wilson was never really in a cast and been walking around freely on sidelines for weeks now pretty much confirms that...he has shown no indication of an achilles surgery rehab

 Gavin walls esq guy with similar upside. A bit more size and real pass rush polish is all that separates him from being elite. Love the talent, the riders are very deep at dl and we are incredibly thin. Makes a lot of sense. 
 
 I don’t think they’d bring in a guy that’s toxic that’s pretty clear. Wanting out of that locker room is understandable. If he doesn’t fi he will fo real quick. I expect him to be rostered or cut with in a couple weeks. 

I expect him rostered this friday...and next week at latest

will be a lot of tickets coming up for grabs once those assholes get tossed early (if they even make it to playoffs)....

no...they will make the playoffs, and teams will be scared....Tha Faj and the Duke proclaimed as such...but in all honesty...I doubt they get the cross over...way Hamilton is playing they gonna wax em next week

Suck it John Hodge

what did that putz say?...I missed it

and he could have asked for his release...why they would cut him makes no sense given all the injuries they have on the dline, and it depletes their depth...I sure he didnt say "hey release me so I can sign with....." 

But his addition to us makes us stronger and deeper, and them weaker and thinner....and looking at some his tweets...he definately wasnt happy there, or liked how things are going....that part can't be disputed

I think they are a bad team and we will beat them up. 

Wolitarsky is questionable?

Sounds promising for a return soon 

yeah...if u remember he played last bit of 2019 and all playoffs with a brace....I figure he should be back sooner than later

 Nope not in my books, Zack can go the rest of his career throwing lame ducks and i would still never want him traded. Zack when the time comes will retire a Bomber and will always be a respected and honored QB who won us 2 Cups...and  counting?

and it's called throwing up a Faj....in lieu of lame duck...get it right! haha

KABOOM.....see ya later kind of goodbye....I hope the 'see ya later' for Adams is when he's in bluengold   Nice pickup when we could definitely use one

yup....grab a sack this Friday too....hahaha....but yeah pretty telling on whats going on there...sounds like on field...off field...and within the coaching and management ranks...looks so good on them 

18 minutes ago, Geebrr said:

Hahaha that is hilarious.

What a nuclear bomb on the way out. Sounds like he may have asked to go. 

yeah...he may have asked for his release....and before the ttrade deadline so he could possible hook up with another team and still be able to play....and if he is headed here...what a score for him....

Reading that article doesnt lead me to believe he is starting....but we will see...regardless of who's there this week I think we take care of  business handily

see y'all real soon tells me he's talking to his Riders pals....well...if anything happy for the guy leaving that craphole and organization and getting to see how a legit pro one operates in Canada haha

and if that not a kick to the nads and an indication of how things are in Regina then I don't know what is....so funny

Not disagreeing with you, but if we did have Gray play the whole game at tackle ( where he might be arguably better than guard ), that would free us up to have an American playing somewhere else. 

yeah...thats also a nice option as well for a game and to be able to see one of the new guys gets some reps...and see what they have

hmmm...as a rotational guy predominantly we could do worse....he also plays teams...so could be a decent signing...and change of scenery he could be alright....and the fact he knows the league doesn't hurt...If Jeffcoat is out this game, obviously Wicotts is the starter, and maybe they want some experience behind him if they feel the new guys not ready??..dunno...or maybe he backs them up?...I do know we excelled more on defence when we actually had 4 DE body types on roster when we rolled with 8 dlineman

9 minutes ago, Noeller said:

the thing I love best about the Riders **** show, is that it's EXACTLY what we all predicted would happen a couple years ago when Dickie took over that **** show and made Faj a starter. They fluked out some grace period, but everything we all thought was gonna happen is finally happening EXACTLY as predicted (though we could never have wished for this much fun...) 

yup....it's crazy that for the most part....thats exactly what we all saw coming...and it's been glorious

what a moron...and what a circus...

He's subbed in for Bryant at LT at least 3 times including almost an entire game replacing Richmond late last season against the Stamps, he's looked great in that time and did not allow any sacks.

Yeah he has done fine there when needed, and think he factors in as one of our tackles in near future

Just now, Jesse said:

That was the only way I could reason it, but wasn't sure.

pretty sure of it to be honest...he'll be playing...especially against the undisciplined Riders...no way in hell is Osh gonna put ZC at that risk this late in season

BLM will have two choices:

Retire from Calgary with much praise, and seamlessly move to the panel. 

Work one more payday year as the QB equivalent of #33. 

man....had almost forgot about Harris and his irrelevance now...had he stayed here and swallowed some pride....been happy with a rotational/situational guy, he'd likely still be playing....having a nice yr and in the thick of a 3rd straight cup and further cementing his place here in Bomber lore...and being very relevant...in an extremely relevant market....sad how it played out

Bauming's comment confuses the hell out of me.

maybe it's because if Bryant was gonna be out, they'd be working one of the imports there for 1st team reps as his replacement...This is prob for in game reasons in case he gets knicked again....no need to make 2 changes on the line if you don't need to

Bryant finished the last game just fine....resting the big fella won't hamper his game production...he needs no reps

yeah he's as good as gone from Cgy, and that is the smart move by Huff....keep the young gun in place and grow with him....where BLM lands is anyones guess...hopefully Sask throws gobs of money at him to cripple their SMS and we watch him falter bad...or get creamed repeatedly behind that crap o-line...it needs a serious re-boot...which will cost money if they do it right, cause as it sits none of their in-house "depth" has any semblance of lock down stud...
