Riders Oline had by far the least amount of pressures of all 8 teams that played, gave up only one sack, and opened holes for the leagues 3rd leading rusher, Marshall. I'm going to disagree with you about the ALs Dline. Those guys don't strike fear into anyone. The Classic, Tracker and SPuDS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are not terrible options. Riders Canadian content was vastly improved this offseason. Stating otherwise is ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 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. Tehedra, Fred C Dobbs, bb.king and 19 others 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait until we stomp these guys on Saturday. Copy and pasted for Sunday afternoon. You speak about old broken down pieces of the Riders like Kevin Glenn (even though the Riders are the youngest team in the league) and then fail to acknowledge your own aging players, like Westerman who's numbers nosedived last season. Didn't he get half the sacks in 2016 than he did in 2015? Have a look at your own roster Mike and you'll see that if you take off the blue tinted glasses, you have as good a shot as anyone to finish in the basement. Especially with the likes of Matt Nicholls at the helm who's lost one hell of a lot more games than he's won in the league.

You think my opinion will change if we lose Saturday? If we lose Saturday, we'll have lost to a terrible football team and we'll need to improve on it going forward. PS - his record as a starter is 18-15, I know math isn't a strong suit over there but 15 is not "one hell of a lot more" than 18. It's actually less.

Whats his record of games he's actually played in? I believe Derek Taylor had the stat up a couple months ago and it was more losses than wins. If you're confident hitching your wagon to Nicholls at a contract like that, knock yourself out. Edited June 29, 2017 by Mosaic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
