Ideally I would like to see a Daniels or Mathews in the slot with Woli...Keep Adams doing what he is doing now as he would thrive there as the #2 guy and move Simonese out to boundary like we did with Woli...the guy would be a mismatch nightmare and in the chances he has been given albeit limited he makes plays...averaged 30 yards a catch..and even if you took out his one 53 yarder..still averaged 23...he has the prototypical boundary body type and skill set and with a year under his belt now...will turn some heads in camp...I wouldn't sell out to retain Demski if it goes that way but if he comes back at similar to what he made this year then that would be okay, and Peterman can back him up, thou not too sold on him yet...seems a bit inconsistent to me, and at times a bit lazy..or disinterested in the other aspects of the receiver role (blocking etc) If we could field a unit with Adams/Woli/(one of Mathewes/Daniels/MItchell/) Simonese and Thompkins/Nelson I would be more than happy...even with that lineup I would be okay with one more year of Dressler in that spot on a value contract with one of Thomkins or Nelson backing up...unless we uncover our own stud. I don't want 6 of our 7 nationals on offence this year unless 4 are lineman as it hurts us more than helps us I think with roster options....and to do that we have to either not resign Bryant, or let Hardrick go...both of which are stupid options...best case is to bring our oline back same as last year with Gray replacing Couture as the 6th until he can beat out Neufeld...unless he does it right out of TC...and even then..I would keep Neuf as the 6th guy as he can play anywhere..is good...and is relatively cheap for a starting national olineman with 7 years experience

Nevis and Neufeld are pretty affordable tho for their experience/skill level...I believe Nevis was 120k a year and Neufeld is about 140K...Neuf is signed for 2019...Nevis is a 1 year deal so if he was to come back at same price...I'd have no issues...unsung hero this year on the D-line. I know Opo restructured last year, so getting him back at an affordable price may not be out of question, and would not hurt us...and although just only turned 29...still probably has a solid season or 2 in him, but preferably would like to see us find another Jeffcoat...younger and cheaper to use portion of his salary elsewhere.

he would be the perfect 6th guy if we can replace him on the corner..can play corner..half...has played sam...returns punts and FG's and on cover teams..pretty versatile and valuable guy to back up..

bonafide number one receiver and as been said...keep Adams..he would thrive as a number 2 and not have all deep focus on him... agreed on a corner...though not necessarily at expense of Randle...but he has to earn his spot next year..he is signed for 2019 correct? and we need an explosive returner who can play on offence..not some one trick pony DI ...

they are both under contract next year and if Streveler is handed the keys to the offence...or wins it outright in TC we are still paying the same amount for our QB's regardless what order they are on the depth chart...so cutting Nichols would be crazy dumb and still has great value off the bench or as the back-up if Strev faulters...or gets hurt as he plays a physical game....it's 2020 when you have to make the hard SMS decision...not next year It would be in the teams best interest next year to say the position of the #1 QB is up for grabs...whoever performs best in TC...You go with until they faulter...

People fail to remember too...Nichols missed an open ADAMS in the endzone as well...and no not like Suitor blabbled it wasn't due to wind...it happens..guys miss throws...

YEAH the Zack Collaros debate is moot...they never scored more than 14 points offensively against us with him all year, and in crappy conditions why would he do better...Like I mentioned before, of the 12 wins they got...5 came when they didn't get scores from defense or ST's...and 2 were squeakers against MTL and T.O where they barely eeeked it out..Heck even the one they got with T.O early in the year would have been a loss if Trestman challenged the pick six...they were very flawed...and it was their demise...many there though don't buy it and just offer up excuses..

Well for the least penalized team in the entire league..we must be pretty good at hiding all the dirtiness and cheating...well done boys

yeah...I noticed he was there as well...The Riders were pretty cocky and full of themselves tho...wonder what started it all

i'll take those fines every week...that o-line takes no sit...and has everyones back...watching them run over and through the riders..especially in that 4th quarter and hear them just chirping away at them was a thing of beauty...especially with the beaking off the Riders did pre game out at the mid field area in warm-ups...u can catch some of it on CFLWired

also after basically being ignored for about the first 3 or 4 games after Nichols came back from injury...I see him as a legit 1000 yard guy next year, and a high percentage guy on second down conversions...proved to be pretty clutch in last 3rd of season

still tho...could cause delays in the flow of game..let it be called immediately on field if you have another guy out there dancing around to keep a clear view of the QB...and from history...how reliebale or effective has this "eye in the sky" been a lot of the time...not very

no...it's a great thing....both stadiums have their things that are better than each other...but in regards to seating..acoustics..football feel/atmosphee..IGF blows it away

yeah..cheeped out with the quality of the seats..I see many being replaced due to damage or being broken after the winter/offseason...not as big either...and the pitch/slope of seating area is way less...putting you further from the field...and it is a big reason why the crowd noise is more disruptive at IGF...it is right on top of you and you almost actually feel it and it is way more intimidating..and this is from out of players and coaches mouths I have spoken to about it..

well even if you support a comment with stats, or a link to it...you are still considered a troll there if it doesn't support the Rider narrative

NO..this would be better as it would be called immediately...without need for review or a team have to waste a challenge

I said same thing..he pivoted to lead with shoulder.. and caught Bridge in chin as he went through him.. only thing he could have done different to avoid it would have been to dip lower and hit him in the gut..but in the millisecond u have to make a play in a game..from experience your instincts take over and u just go for the hit...other than the proven cheap shot head hunters...also..in no way shape or form was it late..and fact of matter..had zero bearing on the game whatsoever..and is just whining now for tha sake of whining

yeah...it seemed that they had a dedicated guy each play to initiate contact downfield for the illegal contact challenge on a receiver in the case a play didn't work...

true...I do recall at the beginning of the season them raving about their QB situation and the solid depth...tops in the league...as well as the embarrassment of riches in the receiving corp...one which had no 1000 yard guys or anyone with more than 4 td's...

not arguably...easily

sure like the look of our situation moving forward...Rolling with all 3 again next year is fine with me...Bennett being only 26..Streveler at 23...no need to rplace either really, especially with value Bennett gives us on the teams...Keep grooming both...and focus on other issues with recruiting and free agency

yup agreed...drop it to 6 starters...

Didnt think about our clear cut number 2 QB will be making basically peanuts next yr compared to most other teams..and to think sask paid Collaros like 450k and Bridge 175k or so...ouchers That will be really helpfull $$ wise for next yr signing our free agents or possible new free agent

Yeazh...probably the best thing Suitor said all game actually and well timed lol

Collaros tho was barely a 60 percent passer this year with more int's than td's ...who's to say that plug would have made those throws...or even had the athleticism to still be upright to even make the throw tho? All QB's miss open guys every game...especially in a cold weather game...maybe if the Rider's had a dominant O-line and an unreal RB to chew up the yards and get first downs they wouldn't have had to rely on passes in a game that had weather conditions allowing passing to be a risk at best??
