Westman Rob

He should be allowed to stay in his lane....

Personally I'd like to see us put Fenner at halfback once Mo is back.  It was very evident that Gaitor doesn't have the height/vertical out there and at least Fenner is 6'1...  That game made we wish we had kept Saisay around.

Rider fans thinking they're getting a haul for Bridge, LOL, I would pay less than we paid for Nichols, which I believe was a condition 7th round pick..... so future considerations? Let's face it, Bridge ain't the guy to lead a team. If we are going to go full ***** on a trade at least shoot for someone like Glenn, at least he's shown he can win as a starter at least a little bit in this league. 

Saw what a beautiful day it was going to be and took a vacation day.  Took in Bomber training camp this morning.  Bringing a 2 year old (some might have seen him wanting to get onto the football field) and a 3 week old there, I wasn't able to watch a ton...and let's be honest, we're all there to watch the 1 on 1s.
You can definitely see the polish and level that the new guys (Thompkins and Reuben) bring to camp.  Guys like Coney and Dye, who may have been the front runners to try to get a spot on the roster (or at least be the "next guy up") didn't impress me too much, and I couldn't see them being there in the end.
That said, Myles White is the real deal. Looked uncoverable in the one on ones.  He might not have been drawing Randle in coverage, but he was making the guy he was lining up against look silly pretty routinely.  Was also lining up to return kicks.  He's my pick to make the team.
Canadian receivers: Daniel Petermann. What can you say.  He is looking like a training camp superstar.  Demski wasn't taking too many reps this practice and Petermann made play after play after play.  Couple deep balls, some catches in the middle.  Super excited about him.  Simonise looked real good and even Henry is looking much better this year.  Don't know how many reps Wolitarsky had.  Pierre was helping with the receivers (off crutches I guess) along with Corey Washington (imp).
Overall the receivers are looking darn good.
After the receivers, the player that really stood out to me in special teams drills was Jacob Firlotte.  He was getting down the field pretty quick and has an intriguing size to him.  Dark horse?
Quarterbacks...I think they all had their moments.  In Skele I think you'd give the edge to Ross for processing the field much quicker than Streveler.  Not unexpected.  Streveler made some nice throws as well.
Mention to Faith Ekakite who took the time to walk over to my 2 year old and give him a fist bump.  By the end of practice, my little guy was way overtired but I think he had fun.

Darren Bauming has reported that the bombers signed Bighill to a 1 year deal paying him 175k.  A very good price for such a talent and 4 CFL teams had been vying for his services.

Eventually the Riders have to draft a CFL player.  Drafting guys headed to the NFL and OL with a neurological disorder that made them lose 100 lbs results in hoping Eddie Steele can play another year and signing Jordan Reaves.

Go back to Rider Fans with your stupid comments......Talk about being butthurt......

dont be shallow and pedantic. Take a good look at the lions last year, the OL names and some of the coaches run out by bc. The most critical failure of bad teams is failure to recognize and retain good talent. We saw it with the bombers pre walters et al. And plenty of other teams. Its bc now. 

The Marshall move makes sense with the Riders signing Messam. Jordan Reaves is a total LMAO.

Can we say "desperate"?

Riders just signed Jordan Reaves........LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
 
 

Take him to court.......What a POS........

Take him to court.......What a POS........

The funny thing is this guys behaviour is typical that of a Rider Fan on their board. Completely arrogant about their shitty football team. 

4 Grey Cups in a century and Rider fans act like they're the messiah of pro football.. 

hahah...yeash man I had time last few days to kill at work so thought I'd sign up and have some fun...what a bunch of no nothing idiots....it's rather entertaining truth be told...I trying to get banned

I think I've literally just about had it with internet Rider fans. There are quite a number of them (CalgaryRiderFan, Beacon.x, Bingo_Arms, Huff Daddy and several others whose names just elude me right now) that are tolerable, awesome guys to talk football with but man, the majority of people over at Riderfans.com are the biggest bunch of deluded dumb as a post mouth breathers I've ever encountered. It's a shame, because every year I go to Regina for every single away game we have there, the people that I meet are awesome. It's a great city to go watch a game and the fans that are invested in supporting the Riders are great to be around.
But that website is a cesspool of stupidity. The stuff I've read on that site is some of the most ridiculous nonsense I've ever imagined. Very few people on there have any clue about football as it relates to anything outside their province and trying to use any kind of reasoning with them is like talking to a doorknob. Wake up and smell the coffee, Rider fans. Your team is the worst team in the CFL, your coach is the laughing stock of the entire league and your GM somehow manages to have no clue what your head coach and defensive coordinator and media recruiting coordinator are doing, despite them all being the same person. You're using the last wear on the tires of old broken down pieces like Kevin Glenn, Jovon Johnson and Peter Dyakowski. Your coach can't stop fetishizing about the kudos he'll get if FINALLY he manages to turn a fullback into a defensive back or a tackle into a receiver and it affects the quality of your roster from top to bottom. You scout and house somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 players, yet can't find a single guy to play defensive back and somehow have to settle for convincing yourselves that Ed Gainey is serviceable. Maybe AC Leonard will stop going offside. Maybe Brenden Labatte won't get hurt for the 47th time. Maybe Henoc Muamba will stop being too fat. Maybe Duron Carter will keep his trap shut for once. Maybe Linden Gaydosh is duct taped together well enough to hold up for 3 or 4 games. Maybe Jordan Reaves will stop dealing cocaine. And maybe if all of that happens, you might have enough of a football team to piece together 7 or 8 wins this year.
Until then, know your place, shut up and enjoy the basement. I can't wait until we stomp these guys on Saturday.

Glenn January.......lol

Glenn January.......lol

When a certified homer like Carteri can't stomach a guy like Jones and the way he does things, you KNOW there's trouble. I've been down this road, and seen how it panned out....when the coach is worried about the radio colour guy, he's worried about all the wrong things and you know the situation is too far gone.

If true....Trump-like.

Glenn January.......lol

Glenn January.......lol

Part of me wants to just adopt the same approach they do over there. They always throw out the "if we acted like this on your forum, we would've been gone long ago" nonsense. Then I look at how we still allow folks like Kluch to continue posting and think ... boy, are they really that unaware?
As much as I like Gov and I can't even blame him for "allowing it", what was formerly a pretty good place to talk about football has fallen by the wayside and become overrun by idiots like Rotor and his little puppet RAJ. So many characters on that forum, it's essentially become a cesspool of inbred children's toys with only four programmable phrases that can be spit out at a time: "#1990!", "Mulberry bush", "Keep 'em comin, Jonesy!" and "hey, hands off my sister, she's mine!"

I see the good folks at Riderfans are firing their artillery at a couple of members here.  
I wonder if they are wearing pink shirts while they attack?
