Haven't given it too much thought since. Riders ranking did seem a little high considering their poor preseason. Wonder if Jamie Nye influenced all the other voters Its pretty hard to rank preseason games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collaros, Mason, Roosevelt, Holley, Carter, Bailey, Moncrief, Eguavoen, Hurl, Edem, Gainey... Oh, and the O-line. That's well over a dozen projected starters.

Booch Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I was talking on offense mainly...as we were discussing the QB situation..and them not being on the filed much at all in pre-season is somewhat questionable as well...not sure why they held them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries is major concern, but secondly just being rusty and not being in sync as a team. Messam has no carries with this oline. Hughes has never played with Evans or Jefferson. Our front 4 on d haven't taken one snap together except in practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 yeah...see no logic in that...if anything defensive line...and rb/olineman familiarity is key...why Jones neglected this is baffling. I truly think he is riding on the success of winnig a Grey Cup in Edmonton where the team was basically assembled for him and he just took over The past 3 yrs has shown he has clearly no G.M skills...weird roster management which has bordered on poor and has had to resort to basically cheating and or straddling the line on the rules to try and compensate for his short comings...these things can't really be argued shadybob and The Classic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline_x Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I'm not going into the first game expecting to win with out rookie Qbs, but i'm hoping they keep it close, can pull out a win. After watching the Sask Game, i'm pretty worried for the riders. All the QBS looked bad with their starters in there. .The o-line looked horrendous and couldnt give Collaras anytime to get set and find a reciever. I'm not worried about our 7th place in the power raking, But its laughable, based on pre-season play, that Sask is in fourth when then most other teams looked alot better.

Taman was criticized severely for doing his accounting on napkins but it appears Jones tries to do it in his bigus fat head or not at all.

DR. CFL Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Bash bash bash...to what end? I wonder what the Rider site says about us cutting the first over all pick from last year.
