  1. yup...can here it now...not a true indicator of how good we are..we beat all bum teams...hahaha
  2. Yeah...that was an odd thing to comment about...and as a player to hear my own coach say that would be eyebrow raising...and a bit of a rub the wrong way...saying a team was better than us a particular day is standard fare and usual ..how he paackaged it tho was kind of wtf if you are a player on that squad
  3. What I find interesting is how the media is calling the Riders team this offensive juggernaut, and Fartado being a MOP candidate. (was just "off" vs Winnipeg)..5 games played 7 offensive touchdowns?...how is that a juggernaut?
  4. Injured and re-habbing...still technically with the team, but not using up a PR/IR spot...I bet we see him sometime after the bye week getting back to practice I'd wanna see Agudusi get a shot first, see what he has. Move him and Woli back and forth between the WR and slot position....that big dude would cause mismatches all over and surely would take the safety away from a lot of plays if we show we would target him deep down the rail
  5. he should blame himself...he stunk...that being said he should get used to it, as he isn't elite, or a franchise QB...Just adequate if everything is going right on his particular team.
  6. agree totally on that...didnt even think of that
  7. Suitor still mentioned the missed Harris ejection (in his opinion) in the bloody 4th quarter still
  8. It's all mental with Leggs right now...dude has the leg to make consistent long kicks...he just needs to get his head right and get confidence....hopefully if he gets supplanted next game it doesn't really get in his head.....I hope we wait till after the break, and see if he rebounds again in Edm
  9. Yup...I like Smith...works well with Dunnigan....Farhen too was impressive, if he doesn't show a Lions Bias he is a good one, tho I wouldn't mind him cheerleading a bit for them as it is good for B.C hahaha I would like to see them use Smith, Dunnigan and Forde as the main guys...work in Neilson with each to see who he meshes with best
  10. I thin Leggs gets this last game before the bye to settle in....if he fails again on ones he shouldn't then we may make the switch If Stove is back, yup Walker sits down, and if Wilson as well gets back on I think it will be Jones who is the scratch....
  11. yup...Forde I like...Neilson too is good when not with Suitor...In a perfect world we could have Matt and Walby hahaha
  12. Yeah not sure why they dont put him out to pasture now..he offers nothing, and his way of "explaining" things comes across as talking down to the viewers almost like they are complete bafoons and clueless, and generally it's just his opinion too...guys a joke
  13. wonder if Suitor will send in the clip of Johnson throwing a punch to the side of Harris head....while pinned under the pile, while he had his helmet ripped off as well?...if anything that is a post game suspension worthy incident
  14. ahhhh....good good
  15. tell me this isn't true?...he did yammer on about it tho...even into the 3rd quarter...guys a knob I'm not too worried about Wilder...we will handle him.... I can see him coming down with an "injury" part way through the game if he is being pummelled...which I am sure will happen as he will be getting hit alot...and hard
  16. Whats the Younger talk?...did I miss something?
  17. Yeah they yip yapping on Riderfans that we are 100 percent healthy..and we won cause of that...and that they have some first yr guys starting...I guess depth doesn't count. As well as failing to see we have a starting d tackle still missing...our Will...2 raw rookies in db group starting...lost our starting Sam..then his replacement was lost...our replacement for the Will as well...missed our starting RB and WR for start of season...lost our Canadian slotback for 2 games...rookie kicker...but...we have depth and discipline and are at 5-1...yup we so lucky
  18. yup....forgot about him but yeah he was...and he was the one who anointed Alexander to be the guy to step up and be a leader...character knows character
  19. darby trade was huge...guy is flat out good....
  20. Part of the issues with Dickenson's team...and this falls on Oday's lap is the guy's they have brought in and the culture they have created there...the wrong kind of culture I recall here in years 1 through 3...part of 4 the impatience heard around these parts for what Walters and Oshea were creating...and that the results were not instant enough. Sure there were some (at the time) high end free agents we passed on and the fans here said they were nuts, and didn't know what they were doing...wanted them fired...et..etc...but now that the foundation and culture was established, the right kind of players brought in to police it internally....it's become the defacto place to be, and sustainable now for the long term...and we are now the organization that teams are trying to replicate...thats facts.... I was a bit leery at first with Willie....phenomenal talent but hoped he wasn't bringing that piss poor Sask me first/selfish brand of football stench here....and he hasn't.....was totally painted with wrong brush as a Rider and is one of the vets here that allows us to self police and continue what we got going on here...true pro and team first player...plus he's awesome on top of it. I've been on teams were certain groups hated each other...some where guys even though were teammates...didn't even really know one another or cared to for that matter..and were just there for the cheque....polar oppositer thing here and it reflects on the field Looking back...it all started with one signing...years back that was the first brick...and that brick was rewarded with his second ring....Mr Bryant...probably the most respected guy in the room, and rightfully so. Even tho he had a ring from before, him being here basically from the restart, and staying loyal was this teams foundation, and you know that ring from 2019 was so much more cherished by him
  21. no respect for Dickenson....from his team obviously on how they play undisciplined...and from me for his lavck of ownership, as well as his comment on the A.C Leonard piss test excuse...like really??? As for the melee...was a blow over effect of the cheap **** the riders were doing last game in the pile....and if u watch the gutless stuff going on...watch Micha Johnson trying to punch a Bomber pinned under a pile...and not ejected for that..don't see the Riders fans whining about that blatant omission. He should have been tossed...threw 2 or 3 under the pile What Harris did isn't disqualification worthy...it's in the rules balck and white...If he swung it or threw it at him sure...but didnt...and even in that incident Johnson was trying to take a swing at him as well....
  22. arent they in Ssk too this week....be interesting haha
  23. yeah....probably....was tough to see....
  24. Yeah he doing ok..I believe now works in healthcare in patient admitting and now I think as a Patient Communications representative...I think with a school of medicine place thru UCLA
  25. Know Charlie quite well ..and know a lot about him off the field too. On the field ..he gave it his all every play...for a tiny guy he played like a Harris or a Joffrey Reynolds...took on guys head on..fought for yards..could move a pile..rare rare talent and almost cut cause Taman didn't care for him..actually said his hands were too small to play football and would be a fumbling machine...so wrong in that assessment. Did he give 100 percent honing his craft and making himself better...sadly nope ..not in the least...smoked...ate crap..never trained...didn't get proper rest..weed...just went with his raw ability cause he knew he could...if he put in even half the effort of a typical football player his numbers would have been insane!! It was all good until his marriage fell apart...and family left Winnipeg...he was a solid family man and his off field life was okay save for lack of training.. In the last year here..year and a half he became a loner..many a night I had to make sure he got home from a night by himself where I bounced..sat quietly..had his drinks and smokes and looked lost...bummed out...in a bad place...was tough to witness. When he was traded it had to be done as some things spiralled bad...and save the organization some very bad press....which is too bad...and too bad people didn't realize what was really going on. Fact of matter tho...one of the best most of us will ever see..pound for pound one of the toughest rb's who played in Canada..
