    I dont put too much stock in weight unless it's on one of the lines, or a severely underweight lb...like under 185 pounds

    I dont think he was brought in thinking safety.....likely a DB of some sort....or even at WIL as a rotation, and or injury piece...then possibly 6th man when all are healthy...if you can play the spot, you can play the spot...and he seems to bring just what's required at one of the outside LB's spots

    I'm sure the coaches have a plan...he's been our radar a while now hasn't he?

    if he was sharing reps today....me thinks he gets on roster, and eased in....and agree...once he is back in place and in game form...we are transformed a lot....Maybe that Hassel gets up to speed fast and can fill in at Wilson's role as a bit of an undersized guy.....would still like to see Cole get some reps there too...dude is a missile on teams, is crazy athletic....faster than Wilson actually and is similar size

    The loss of Wilson has coincided 2 yrs running in our trouble with the run...his skill set and his ability to allow guys around him to do other things is huge for us...if we could get him back sooner than later, find a Wilson clone, or be able to swing a trade for a similar kind of guy, that would be a huge boost for us...Factor in the fact BA will be back in the backend very soon....it may just be what we need to get us back to 2021 total dominance.

    You should come. Just plan it beforehand for accommodations as not every hotel in Winnipeg is walking distance to the stadium or tailgate events like in Regina.

    O'Shea is quickly becoming a candidate for a statue outside the stadium, but I would never sign any coach to a 10 year contract. At some point and time every coach has a shelf life.

    3 yrs at a time I think works for both sides

    we need Grant back....or use Mcrae or Parker.....Holm offers nothing really...scares nobody and wont be really flipping the field in our favour....sure he was dependable....but he also gaffed big time in pre-season too....BA sharing reps is big....

    But doesn't that sum up this Rider team in a nutshell - lack of awareness?  Many (I won't say all because they do have some quality individuals on that team) simply bask in the echo chamber that they and their fans have created for themselves.  They are ego driven.  Feel that the league is out to get them.  It's an "us against them" mentality and it breeds selfishness.

    That's what separates this club from that one.

    Under O'Shea, it's never been "us against them" .. it's always been about being accountable, to yourself and your teammates.  Execute your assignments.  Give what you have to the guys on the field.  Be a professional.  If you do that, your accolades will come.  It breeds selflessness.

    Sask is totally a product of their environment...plain and simple...and an environment they curated and uphold....and hence why they a joke....and thats facts

    They will never be respectable.

    They are a total fail as a franchise. 

    I’m sure some other DT can get them 1 tackle/game. 

    just look at ours...Sayles...22 tackles...3 sacks.......Thomas...in a rotation...10 Tackles...1 ST tackle and 3 sacks...Cameron Lawson 8 tackles and 1 sac
    (rotational reps) Ricky Walker 6 tackles...1 special team tackle and a sac...in 6 games

    and hmmm...not a fine or suspension between them...great team guys...classy.....11-1 team and class of the league all around.....vs 6-6 team....and a joke on all fronts.....interesting

    generally in CFL a DT and or NT will in effect draw 2 guys in blocking....it's just how things are schemed a lot...so saying Marino was very effective is a bit of a stretch...You can get same kind of attention and production from pretty much any interior guy...minus the penalties' and stupidity, and all the distractions that go with it.

    Now if he was blowing plays up behind line of scrimmage constantly, pushing lineman into QB..piling up sacks and or tackles....it would be a different story....but he wasnt.

    Are they weaker tho due to this...likely, as the team environment there now has a huge dent in it, and other losers there are now gonna play a bit less agressively, for fear of being next....and slap that right on CD for not dealing with all the BS earlier...and by earlier I mean last yr already

    Highly doubt it was league driven...pretty much certain the league cant...or wont tell you that you have to cut a guy 

    The Riders are scrambling big time and I think this was the sacrificial lamb to try and create the illusion that they have things under control and are doing things to right the ship..nothing more...and vet contracts being garuanteed...well Marino's likely piddly entry level contract wont impact them as much as the higher paid idiots like ****** William's.. Marshall...Edam...was an attempt to "send a message" as cheaply and as cowardly as possible...but really not changing anything there.

    Only two pages so far on riderfans regarding this and its like 80% think its a mistake. Quotes of "the guy is a beast, hell be signing with another team like tonight, the hit on Collaros was nothing/Collaros is a baby, management gave in to peer pressure". F*** me i hate that fan base.

     

    Yeah...clowns...if he such a beast his stats sure dont reflect it...

    That 2001 team had a lot of arrogant blowhards playing for them with their heads in the clouds. Dave Ritchie  refused to bring them back down to Earth & tell them to shut up. The 2001 Bombers were the same as the Ti Cats in 2019 thinking the Stamps would just lay down & let them win. Well, all that preening, arrogance & trash talk fired up the Stamps who still had a large core of veteran players from the 98 & 99 Grey Cup games who were insulted. We lost that game by Wednesday of Grey Cup week. Everytime I think of that 2001 Grey Cup game, i still get angry. It didn't have to happen!!

    The 2022 addition of the Bombers aren't anything like the 2001 team. they atre much more mature. We have a team that has won back to back championships. They approach game preparation totally different. All business. They don'r mouth off. They respect their opponents. If any of today's Bombers acted the way some of the 2001 Bombers did in the media that year, I think Mike O'Shea & veterans like Stanley Bryant, Pat Neufeld, Adam Bighill & Brandon Alexander would put a stop to it. O'Shea's teams aren't bombastic. 

    yyup...no attitude or arrogance ere....maybe some self criticism and need/desire to get better...be better, and not let your brothers down...this team....well really this organization is wired differently than u usually see...prob wont see other than here...hence the 28-4 record since 2019...2 cups...and a good shot to be in our 3rd straight....It's all about who and what you bring into the building here that sets the tone...took a good 3 years to build it...but since then it's just been getting more solid as we roll along

    Yup...regardless of the players involved would be..and should be flagged...the only difference with your scenario is Fajardo would have rolled around and mad eit seem like he was shot....limped away...and then would have whined about it post game

    I’m thinking pretty confidently that you take the exact same play but take out Marino and Collaros and insert WJ and CF, we still know it’s a penalty and has no place in the game.
