Booch

I think he knows if to extend his career he's gonna be taking a pretty good shave...he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on to support big bucks now with 2 years straight of significant time missed each year

He would be a nice guy to keep if we have the ratio ability to have him on the roster as a back-up...used in packages and to rotate in to keep guys fresh...

Oh I agree...I got one as well back in the Early 90's and never have even risked it again...as well my son was T-boned by a drunk blowing a red light in 2016 and had to have emergency brain surgery due to it and was off work for a year...so it hits close to home for me. I was just wondering the optics though of what the Riders stand behind, and playing a player who went against that doesn't leave good optics

things have changed in that time tho... Also wouldn't the fact that the Riders are a strong supporter and back the Saferide program in Saskatchewan be very hypocritical and send the wrong message if they just do nothing about this and let it slide? Not saying that he should be let go...but a team imposed suspension of some type would be the right thing...no?....if not...they shouldn't be backing a program such as that when their own employees don't stand by it, nor are disciplined in some matter for totally going against it....they in a bit of a pickle there when you think about it

I hope our successor to Harris is an import...we just are lucky to have a National of his calibre play that spot..so we adjusted our roster accordingly.. but it's not ideal...you see when he gets dinged or goes out how the drop off is...severe. Also if we want to keep that ratio if he is out extended time..well it would affect us in several positions to make it work..and most likely making us we weaker as a whole. I hope our next feature back is an import

yeah..only kind of addressing it now at heir post practice presser yesterday because it was reported in papers...prob would have never knew..and noting done about it if not for that

We have a glut right now..say we resign them all..Thats Neuf..Chungh..Goosen..Gray..Spooner..Speller..Couture..French dude.(thats 8)..we start 3..have one on roster as a 6th..and you prob want 2 on PR/IR So of that 8 we technically need 6 readily available...drafting another 1 or 2 again would be a waste and very redundant as we have 2 extra as it is where really we have no room to stash and hold basically no trade value as they are not gonna start anywhere and if a team really wants one..they know we would be cutting a couple anyway. We can go a year..possibly 2 without drafting a o-lineman and should be focusing on defense guys if you ask me...load up on d-line/lb types...that or more depth, or guys that can push our national receivers...thats the smart move in immediate future

well he fit in this year at 185k...and will prob take only an additional 25..30k to resign him...so you don't resign Dressler at his 130k or more he is making and use the remaining 100k or so to re-up Chungh..Goose and Bryant..and still have a bit left...easy peasy fits just nicely

they already tossed around the excuses...was a meaningless game....a garbage game...short week and we had more time to prepare...list goes on and on..

they will...when do you ever see quality Canadian O-lineman hit open market??...very rare...they may wait till last minute to sign, but they will...Unless they really want to go home for whatever reason...ala Labatte...but he is a Flatlander so he didn't know any better

certainly happens everywhere all the time...doesn't make it acceptable or right...and everyone who is dumb enough to do it now still in my eyes is a P.O.S regardless if it's joe nobody or most famous person walking this earth....the fact he was gassed that bad prior to a big game itself just reeks of how much the team lacks leadership and character guys..noting wrong with drinks and some fun, but generally before a game you tend to back off a bit as it will effect you days after from peak performance...

Yes..I meant too many Canadian olineman..why draft more when u already have 3..4..in reserve you cant even roster.. wasted picks if you ask me

It's a pretty good draft this year..I would keep em both

I'd look for a dlineman or linebacker/db We have too many canadians now even with depth Neufeld..Gray..CHinhg..Goosen..Spooner..Speller ..Couture..and that big French kid who went back to school..

I want Bennet to start a game and light it up and shut up all this nonsense and create new nonesense

Seeing as we have 2 firsts..I'd take him with one if he still there after we take the best player available regardless of position with our first one..feel we are in a position to do so...even more so if we sign chungh and Goosen..which I doubt even get to free agency.

Sadly he will have to sign there for 2 years..but pretty sure once that contract is up he will leave that stank hole in his rear view

Went to that game as well as a teenager...drove in out of province to see it...damn I need a shirt!

Kudos to you...at least u show that your reasonable then and somewhat in check with reality. Cant say same for many on either forum lol Tho I stand by my statement that the Rider board is pretty trigger happy if you go against or say anything negative about that team..even when your right..grow a set I say hahaha

Tho wouldn't it just be classic if someone did scoop him up and he agreed...haha If on or now tho.. and he gets an NFL chance..signs down there and then released in off season.. has his obligation to Riders owning his rights end and he is free to sign anywhere in CFL?

Defense can win a championship yeah..to help out a team that doesn't score a lot..the Ridrrs for the most part cant score at all...and that's your bc teams problem..can't expect week in and week out for a defense to do your scoring..and pitch a shut out.. Looking at numbers..you have scored less than your defense has given up...QB barely throwing over 60 percent..13 ints to 9 TD's..no receiver in top 20..scored 22 offensive touchdowns..ALL FRIGGEN YEAR! If you just seen those numbers alone not knowing anything else would you think that team was successful and a cup contender? A threat of any type? Would you believe they could be 10-6 and not a very lucky team..with a term like smoke and full mirrors? Now if you say yes..well then you gotta be full of what the fanbase dumped on McCallums front lawn...and if the show was on other foot..every green blooded Rider goof would say Winnipeg was not as good as record...worst 10-6 team ever..lucky..whatever term you want to use and you cant deny it..

Yeah it pretty much is..say anything against the riders...or diagaree with someone..your banned. Christ some of the posters there start basically saying.."time for a banning"

And decide..yup..not for me and leave for a better team lol

Agreed...hes just learning to be a pro this year and get back into the swing of things..and doing what's asked..and doing it well. If used properly next year he can become a real mismatch nightmare...also if anyone could score on us we can see him return a kick too..other than the one he muffed

Wolitarsky next year is going to be the main slot guy (national one) No its ands or buts about that..he earned his stripes on boundary this year..and actually is already being eased into inside use. Peterman shows grit..but not sold on his reliability yet..has had some bad drops..one crucial and at times when not primary receiver it looks like he isnt giving it 100 percent Either way though. With him...Simonese..Woli..Harris and if we resign Demski we have a nice group of Canadian skill position players
