Booch

So...Rider's openly state they are interviewing someone for an O.C position...when they still have their O.C under contract??..quite the professionally ran front office there, and sure to not cause any riffs within your staff...like wtf? So if Mass declines, or they (Riders) decide he not the right fit...they just tell Macadoo..."hey man we wanted you all along..."...greasy organization I hope Mass goes elsewhere and Macadoo up and quits on eve of TC...

maybe...who knows...but I bet if he didn't get demoted...he would have been still here

Oshea said that his role had been changed...and he didn't like it....and guess never came back....basically...quit on his team

got knicked..but wasn't getting his starting role back and was told he's be a role player/back-up...prob similar situation as to Fenner..Fenner accepted it and was a ideal teamate..Gaitor didn't like it..so basically quit....in a nutshell

yeah his name is Connor Griffith...plays for the Bombers lol

it was Matt

oh...sorry to hear that...:)

Wonder if the Bombers..more specifically the players have set a precedence for future teams celebrations when winning the Cup now?..Personally I hope so, and glad that possibly we set the new standard

I actually think it is a way to allow for that other Global guy to be on game day roster, while not increasing roster size...so basically a cost management thing to not have to pay that extra game day salary by only dressing 2 QB's Now is the rule you are only allowed to have 2?..or is it just need 2...can a team roster 3 if thats how they choose to use their roster?..and if not, being a new year can they re-designate Streveler as a receiver, but run exclusive wild cat sets with any one of him..the actual QB..Harris...whomever taking the snaps?...now thats the question I wanna know.

all teams will carry 3...if not 4 QB's again next year...one way or another...you cant go with 2 and then due to injury float a guy in with no clue of your system..familiarity with the other players..etc..etc...many of you people think that thee are gonna be 2 guys..and thats that....that ain't how it's gonna be

because he is allowed to play as a true dual threat QB..we havn't allowed that here

yes he was, he actually extended plays with his feet and left the pocket to make throws..so to say that he just chuck's it away...or turtles under for the sack isn't entirely true. Totally true..and part reason why I say he is being somewhat neutered here and restrained and Lapo is too stuck in his philosophy of what he wants and over using certain things to the point of being counter productive. With the tools he has/had Lucky/Grant/Harris and even Augustine, and not evolving and creating things to suit and augment Streveler is a major fail..and was almost our un-doing this year when Matt went down Lapo leaving would be the best thing for Streveler's game, and for him to progress and be that dominant QB who would be a game changer and upper echelon guy...Lapo continuing on here status quo will severely hamper Strev, and most likely ruin him, or force him to go elsewhere and then flourish and make us look pretty dumb in the process for keeping reigns on him

You don't want to add to many clauses into an incentive part of a contract...you'de much rather have a incentive you can track as a hig amount vs a low amount to forcast possible SMS scenariois and where you could be at later in the year....too many unknowns in one where you have Yards gained..td's etc..etc... If he has deal where he gets 5k a start say...you can account for a possible 90k against the bottom line and around trade deadline day, and if it is realized..or not...at least you know the minimum amount of SMS you "may" have to work with at that point

I would say based on all things considered, and this being his second deal..a 200k base should and would be fair and a max for him, but built in play time incentives certainly...like a figure for starts, if he has taken away the starting gig at some point in the season

YEAH...but was all we could get to come here in those dark days...things have changed now though, so days of having to succumb to also rans..never were's and hanger-on's is over...thank christ

coming from someone who had a severe shoulder injury, 2 knee reconstructions , 2 known concussions , broken hand (x2) broken arm and played high level ball...at times with a cast...post surgeries..i can say without a doubt you don't really know what you are talking about...did you have a professional sports physician repair you?...sports therapist experts rehab you?...were you training and living llike a high level athlete??

YEAH...gotta agree there....nobody in the media and as a fan even knows what it was...and could have been something relatively minor...but season ending none the less with prognosis for full recovery..the fact over the last 3-4 weeks of the year he showed no signs of discomfort as well as it not pinned down or in some kind of immobilization device would lead one to believe it wasn't extensive surgery

means nothing...guys can throw for yards in cold weather..Danny Barret threw for almost 400 yards in 1991 Grey Cup..Prob coldest game I ever been to..and many other games guys put up big numbers

My shoulder injury (significant and required surgery) went away and I played 7 years after the fact...bothers me now but didn't effect my play...also just because it's season ending doesn't mean it's career threatening by any means..I had season ending surgeries 3 times....just saying And in a football player I will take a guy with rebuilt knees..shoulders..anyday and twice on sunday than a chronic repeat Concussion sufferer..they DO NOT go away..and compound each time...and occur more frequently when as time goes on, and sometimes from something really minimal too...

yEAH I would think Griffith has progressed enough to rotate in on the D-line..he showed well in Pre-Season games and can easily absorb 10 to 15 reps a game on the line if need be. There are also some Canadian D-lineman going to be free agents from other squads too..so options are there if this happens. And really if we go National at safety we don't really need the National DT to rotate and depending on how we use or DI's could DI one..

I'm thinking we will be going 3 o-lineman again.,..which 3 will be decided in TC..Harris..Demski and Woli if he's back, or Peterman gets his opportunity...Again 1 on defense but where next year not sure..I'd like us to roll with the Richardson/Nevis (if back or the use of another cheaper American monster) as the d-line starters and a National in the Defensive Backfield somewhere..be it wide side Corner or safety.

Sounds good to me as well

Ha..yeah he prob would be..and that read option became too one dimensional and predictable.. needed to be more organic..and if u gonna beat it to death utilize more than just Harris and Strev A more varied offence with some of that..not focusing on it with roll outs..moving of pocket and launch point would be just as effective if not more..spreading the defense out and if the pass isnt there the run threat is..or suck them in and the pass is there.

Look at banjo bowl highlights.. made several different ranges of throws..same with grey cup..he needs to be let loose a bit like people have said.. roll outs..sprint outs..etc..hes not a pocket passer at this time so why force it Look at early Dunnigan stuff..they had him changing launch points all the time..teams weren't sure to defend run..or pass.. that's wht makes him effective. Having him run obvious run plays or keeping him stationary is stagnating his progress..let the boy loose and have at er

Thats what I have been saying...he needs to play in Khari's system..wide open..high risk..high reward and live to fight another day...his development would speed up so much faster
