Booch

agreed...hardly connected with any real inside sources...I think he just tosses a lot of "could happen" rumours out there and hopes one will come to fruition here and there and make him look credible My best guess is Chungh wants to see what the market has to offer, and then giving the Bombers the opportunity to match it...and good on him for that

well...we should have no reason making Chungh an offer he can't refuse now you would think...A line with Bryant and Hardrick with a combo of Chungh..Neuf..Gray and Couture is still pretty damn good

Mathews..Roger's.. hardly back up material..in my opinion that a top 1..2 punch in any lineup

basically a default hire as all other avenues withered up...and who's to kow how many people may have been approached and said no thanks....either way...i think both he and Macadoo should be a bit bothered by this as being overlooked originally and are only a hire of convenience

i think if it comes down to being outbid on both..we will go all in on one and roll with Gray/Couture (who-ever wins out) in camp and I'd be fine with that...that extra money that a national lineman would cost us would go a looong way in resigning JSK and bringing in a Posey or Derel Walker

Who would start over Neuf..Not Bladek or St John...and Labbatte is way overated now and just getting accolades on his play 2-3 years ago..last couple years he has been average/adequate at best...sure he looks good compared to the other crap they trotted out..but that doesn't say much

YEAH considering Macadoo was the Asst. Head Coach and was by-passed first by 2 outside hire attempts...that we know of...others may have declined and the Riders kept that out of the news...and now by-passed by the teams ST's coordinator...you have to think he feels lilted/upset/disenchanted...angry??...same with Dickenson to a point..as basically he gets it as the default option, and most likely won't feel to secure there....going to be interesting times in Riderland this year...i almost smell the scent of rubber burning already

And what was the depth of all Harris receptions. Not behind the line of scrimmage and a good majority were like u said..dump offs after going through reads. Majority of yours were first reads and quite often to your wideouts and slots..not the same situ at all..and really proof is in da puddin..look at offensive stats and td's..as we all know a good offence starts and ends with a solid oline..so based on that alone being dead last in offence lands intelligent people to see a bad line.

Crazy you would take Clark.. st john..and your 2 average tackles over ours

Most likely running the short yardage packages and staying in like last year, and I can see it expanded on as well. I would think this year as well..Oshea may give him more meaningfull game reps when game is out of hand on the scoreboard

did you calculate the 1 in 5?..lol....a lot of his were developing plays down the filed or off in the flats...not a qb receiving the snap...turning to his right and tossing all in a second. And if you would honestly say that you would not swap the sask o-line for the winnipeg one..man for man...then you must really have the mentality of most on Rider fans..

well when you run less offensive plays over course of season, use a dumb 80% hitch/screen/dump off offence where qb has ball in his hand for maybe one second (due to crappy o-line) yeah u may see fewer sacks....I seem to recall we led league in rushing..scored most points...and re-watch how that oline totally manhandled your vaunted d-line in the WSF...not to mention what...3 all-stars?...seems to me one team had a far superior o-line 😉

If the Bombers are smart, and Streveler shows more improvement and progression this year, and that he can run the offence then Walter's should be in his ear late in season saying that they will extend him for 2020 as the starter, and once season ends at some point move Nichols for whatever we can get, or outright release him if he doesn't agree to restructure as a veteran back-up

all I gotta say tho...sure glad we are in the situation we are, and have the structure in the front office and down the coaching ranks we have

as sad as it sounds..I think Glenn is their best hope...he can at least perform adequately with minimal surrounding cast, and a poorer OC..whereas Jennings needs great support and a mentor to help him...or he flounders badly..Franklin isn't going anywhere now Trestman is gone...

I would think too Macadoo is sort of a lame duck dead man walking guy there as well....many there say he was only there because he was Jones's BFF I would also think...any other team part way through the season who had offensive stats and ineptidude like they did would have made a mid-season change...so pretty certain next year regardless what goes on this year will be an offensive tear down there, and zero stability...hardly a drawing power for any QB to want to sign there this year

Lapo doesn't own Streveler nor does he handle Bomber contracts, and I am sure when Walter's talks to Strev about an extension, and if (from what it sounds like) he wants to make the CFL his career for the foreseeable future then he will be extended/locked up prior to the end of the 2019 season. No way..shape or form does lapo leaving in the winter of 2019/2020 signify that we will lose Streveler...also as stated...the Riders will not hire a place holder in hopes of landing "their guy" next year..it would be a detriment to anything they want to build in 2019

whats he running from??...lol

Yeah Jones is a good DC...That being said a lot of what they did last year was luck based as well and even if he was back, would not have been duplicated...I think he was a below average HC and a horrible GM and was a huge reason for that unbalanced line-up...all eggs thrown into defense and even then thin depth as most of year played without an extra DB and inadequate depth behind the dline that was raking in about 500kplus a year of their SMS

Well I dont agree with that.. neufeld is already under contract so I doubt we lose goose and chungh

GEE...The hits just keep coming from out west.....just gets better and better...what a smoldering pile that Organization is

Huge

Seems as generally shortly after we announce a veteran release and SMS money freed up it usually coincides with free agent extension shortly after..(Leggett/Randle) .Bryant/hardrick and Biggie Wondering if the freeing up of Wilds salary may be an indication of money freed up for a Chungh and or Goosen signing, or a Loffler or Demski?

Things don't happen that fast...and you know damn well Jones had an idea, or knew he had an opportunity, but under his current deal couldn't take advantage of it...some reports say they asked permission on the saturday as well. Regardless of what spin Jones tries to put on it who can really believe him based on his past track record of bolting, and his caught red-handed several times trying to circumvent league rules, and lack of truthfulness. He was just looking out for himself like he always did, and I bet this position that was created will be yanked away just as quickly as it appeared..then he is back looking for work

and isn't able to sign with anyone else...so would think Durant is in same boat..
