Probably. Yet Lapo is not an unknown to our pal Big Chris. Heck, he was his OC when in Canada. Of any coach, he would spend a large portion of his time with him. MOS is smarter and more successful, so the edge moves to the Blue.
probably more with his QB coach I would say...who is now the OC

Masoli out for 10 or 12 weeks certainly adds to Ottawas motivation to grab a guy we would be more than happy to have. Lapo does have an existing relationship with him.
that relationship is more the Bombers Organization, and his teamates.....the Lapo bit isn't gonna be the big heartstrings tug

You can’t really compare established CFL vets to a guy like Schoen. Of course Schoen is going to be a better value when he’s on an entry level contract.
We haven’t recruited a receiver who - knock on wood - looks as good as Schoen in the Walters/O’Shea era.
u can for sure when instead of signing a higher priced vet via free agency, or letting vet players walk and trust in our scouting...well I do anyway.....it's about SMS allocation and bang for the buck to build the best...deepest roster

Ottawa acquiring Arbuckle from Edmonton may be Lapo's salvation. He can shape him better there is more talent to work with.
Jones continues to burn his burn his bridges behind him.
yup....could be the season saver there....and he could be a nice fit in Lapo's system...dude does have talent...does he just need to be in right place?...guess we will see....and this makes it less likely that they can or will go real hard at Streveler if he comes available

it's around in places, I don't have the link handy but it's not a great play. OL definitely wanted to jump on a guy who was down. I think the injury happened as the rider was trying to get up as big fat OL is coming down on him and the ankle just too much weight on it.
Basically that one was a bad play that unintentionally wound up as an injury vs. Marino deciding that he was gonna go after any and every leg he could find to try and "even the score"
yup...the ott Oline guy was a late hit, and a certain penaly, but wasn't a pre meditated thing, nor an intent to break a leg or wreck a knee....but that's exactly what Marion's hit was, and the one previous to that as well where he went straight at that linemans leg....and not to condone what the Ott lineman did...but probably more than certain he took a shot where he seen one as a payback for the garbage that rider players do in the pile....Not certain that Robertson is one of those guys, but know for a fact from talking with current players who are on the filed on several teams that Marino and Lanier are guys who do it...as well as that dork Mak Henry tho he took his idiot show over to Jones in Edm...but obviously it's a culture there, and who knows where it originates from

It’s a real attempt to move the decision to the back pages. Colour the investigation. Provide an excuse before all facts are considered. They could have handled this much like the more sophisticated Blue with Lawlers crime. “We take it seriously and are investigating..…” - that’s big league and believable. Not a smidge of repentance from riders and friends.
yeah nothing...even a simple we are gonna sit him down for a week while the league decides what they will do, and totally condemn what he did...without the friggin "yea but" crap attached to what he has said to date

I would challenge that BLM when healthy has been just as mobile but in a much more economical way than Zach, he is a master at avoiding the rush by taking a few quick steps to find space before resetting, this is one of his top assets. He's a better downfield passer than Collaros, but not as good throwing the ball on the run especially when rolling left, no QB does that better than Zach, excluding Flutie.
BLM doesnt have the escapability of ZC...what he does really well when he is healthy is have that natural pocket instinct to hang in there and take that critical step or two up into the pocket to let his play develop downfield, ar do a slight side step to give him a spot to throw...whereas ZC has that incredible ability to run around...and change direction of his scramble to the opposite direction all the while with eyes down field on receivers, and not losing where they are to make those hug throws to keep drives going...it's almost uncanny

He seemed to have trouble with the physicality of Rhymes not his speed. I feel like he might match up a bit better against Henry but it will still be a tall order.
Taylor won't have issues with any player in the league in regards to speed....dude is one of fastest db's in league if not fastest...Houston prob has him...so we have 2 of the faster ones....he has matchup issues due to height...but so do many DB's in the CFL

Nate Behar is now one of my favourite (non-Bomber) players... I'll take that firey passion and love of his teammate over the trash he had to deal with on the other sideline... if that man is ever a free agent, he's welcome in Blue and Gold any day of the week, as far as I'm concerned
same....a guy who had the nutz to say out loud what 995 of people were thinking...and didnt care for the repercussions for it...sounds like a FIFO kind of guy to me

I’m just going to say it to make sure it gets said, because he takes a lot of (needless) criticism on here. Props to Duke Williams for stepping up and speaking up about the Marino hit and publicly saying it’s not okay.
I hate to say it because I’d rather the Riders just be an absolute tire fire, but that’s a good sign of leadership they’ve been missing for a while. Good for him.
I cant give any props to a player who says that.....any halfway decent player/person should...he also said he would stand by him and defend him....and from a chronic problem in the league himself with less than savoury things done....in my days I have seen and be part of a team where it was brought to management that a certain player wasn't liked or wanted in the room...and mysteriously they were moved
And as for Diclesson's comment...and Garret feels bad...thats bull crap...where has he said that personally....he was more proud than feeling bad...typical Rider deflection and protection of asshatery....don't buy it for a minute...he also in his pea brained mind thinks it was basically accidental and not that bad....and oooo....the defense was mad....so that crap is ok?..cmon man...he's just as much a loser as the guys he is rostering...plain and simple...cut and dried....

I hope this video is added to the mounting evidence against Marashino. He obviously has no need to tackle a lineman.
im still SMH over Dikersons deflection and obvious attempt to minimize the offenders crime.100 percent...that whole organizatioon...they havnt addressed anything really in media or social media...garbage organization to the core

Couldn't afford him if he is, the CFL needs a salary correction for top receivers, paying anyone 200k+ to catch balls is bad for business. Thank Chris Jones.
Rhymes isn't making huge money...he less than Burnham who is 165ish I believe...on par with Begleton and probably Ellingson....it was the stupidity of the money tossed at Lucky....Dirty Duke....and Lawler....none of whom are earning it...at this point far better value with Ellingson and Schoen and when you look at the stats way more production, and thats with our offence just starting to click.....

The only matchup I might be worried about would be Henry vs Taylor. Taylor had a rough night covering Rhymes and I believe both of his TDs came against Taylor covering him. But I’m sure he will rebound.
he's played well up to that point...still played well, but guys do get beat...and one was a fluke...9 times outta ten that catch doesnt get made

Figured out in meaning u press coverage for the quick hitter...change coverage after the pre snap then he yes DOES struggle and thats mainly from being inexperienced...question now is can he progress past that.....Ottawa as well did it a bit and could of and really should have won that game...we took it a step further, and have better personel.....so watch teams do more the same, and see if he can adjust...it's not a coincidence that he has thrown 4 picks in 2 games from seeing this....and if you cant succeed if you dont have a run game, then are u elite?...ZC got enough done to get wins with no run game...and yes the defense had a good hand in it too....but last time I checked football is a 3 phase game, and takes portions of each to win consistently...Rourke throws a strong deep ball....but if you cant agree 2 of those were very...veryyy fortunate then u weren't watching...one was a risky toss into double coverage, and was lucky....i bet if it was to be played out same way again would be a pic or incomplete....the other was an underthrow that BC again had lady luck on their side....if Taylor had turned around...he is in position to knock it away or pick it...50/50 ball offence's are not a recipe for continued success....other than those 3 plays....he didnt do much....and looked as just what he is...inexperienced guy with lot to learn, but also lots of potential...now does he have it upstairs to realize said potential...time will tell

Dude can sling the ball...no doubt about it....best long ball I've seen in many years. The game will have to slow down for him though. It will take a while.
He reminds me a lot of Zylstra.
yup

Just now, GCn20 said:
No sure can't and if we signed him who knows what happens to Kenny Lawler or Dalton Schoen. I like where we are at with the choices we made.
as do I....It seems to be working out just fine and $$ wise will allow us to tweak/add....and also allowed us to maintain.....Ellingson is still the real deal...can make the wow catches just like Lawler....and I think Schoen is gonna be even better than the real Duke in the CFL....and thats saying something.....he looks like a guy who been up here for several yrs already, and if he puts back to back seasons here together like he is so far....may be trying the NFL in 2024

Rourke has officially been figured out. Kinda figured it would be Hall who did it, as he was the one who did it to Fajardo too. Teams will be throwing all kinds of looks at him now and he will struggle through it until he figures it out. In Rourke's defence, he is a much better ball thrower than Fajardo.
Rourke is alreafdy better than the Faj....hands down.....Rourke also prob has one the best arms in the league...hands down, and is probabaly one of the better mobile QB's for using legs to get 1st downs....but......young, and very green still, and yes....book is out now....with pressure and taking away that quick first hot read, and making him move in pocket, and mix up coverages...especially when a team schemes to match their tendencies, he is gonna struggle....like most will.
The question now is he at his zenith in processing quickly, and understanding and able to adapt....or does he have more room to grow and adapt?....if he stays the course as is for now he will be good....and bad....but far from elite and second coming....growing and learning curve is now in effect....lets see how it plays out....and you wont get numerous circus catches game in and game out to rely on...that will dry up, and in long run prob be an achilles heal for him.....
-
same...and nope.....and I am liking our trajectory more each game this yr....mirroring 2021 rather nicely....and we will have roster bolstered a lot even if it just Couture, Demski and BA

Is Dominique Rhymes a free agent after this season?
I remember myself, and several others mentioned here that we wanted the Bombers to go after him when he hit free-agency when he signed there....woulda been a good fit here....oh well...2 cups later we must be doing something right

So, it's really not a million dollars. Only if it's all paid off.
Nope..only if all 20 yrs worth of 50k payments are dished out

Thing is tho..it's 50k paid out per yr...till a million...and if u bite the biscuit before it's all paid out...that's it...estate or family doesn't continue getting it

Going on 3 weeks now for Demski...but if we doing ok without right now..I can see him sitting the 6 to be fully healed and have that 6 games worth of salary go toward an NFL cut or Strev....odds are of 1 of our 3 NFL guys becoming available.
When Demski is back as well...we could see sets with him...McRae and one of BO or JA all on field together...which could be interesting if they all motioning out of the backfield
