Training Camp is over, the roster has been set, and the biggest Q is who should MOS start at QB.

The Bomber Brass are comparing notes on that and have yet to decide so its not clear cut by any means. The default is Ross by a nose but we could have 3 legit thoroughbreds in our stable all at once.

I personally believe Steveler has the most upside based on pure talent, scrambling pizzazz, and the ability to see the whole field. He is also the most likely to turn the ball over and make gigantically good plays. Ross will protect the ball best and run the short game well.

Ross may have played the most regular season downs but Bennett has the most experience especially in the Bomber system. I can see us saying later in the year "why didn't we start using Bennett earlier?" He is my pick for short yardage QB but I would be happy with Steveler in that role too.  My best guess: Ross starts but Steveler comes in as soon as Ross has two or three bad series in a row.

Strange. Not sure why the Riders would need a D lineman. They already have the greatest self-proclaimed D line in the league.

He can't play anyhow and will be a FA at season's end. 

a rusty d-lineman who has effort issues playing in a cold weather play-off game with most likely run heavy and mis-direction laden play-calls against a top of league O-line...who knows all about him...whats not to like??...lol

I heard the deciding factor to get him the nod was his TD strut lol

Actually just poking fun at the ole backpedaling phrase.  

For the record, I wanted Hall fired after last years playoff.  However, given his abduction by aliens about 6 weeks ago - with now no soft zone, and multiple  DL sets and blitzes.............may have to reconsider.  

Something tells me MOS gets a lot of the credit for the turnaround with the D. I think it truly is a team effort.

In a move that will probably surprise nobody, Poopmane is going to join the Riders.

Which is a classic Jones move. 

Because he does his job with such class.

i was gonna say I bet that happens...but then wanted to give the Riders (Jones) the benefit of the doubt of being a scuz bag organization...guess this proves it..Adding him does nothing for them as he has to stay on PR...and will be a free agent once the season comes about as do all PR guys..so whats the point other than their internal fear that they know they are the inferior team...typical..

I hope he gives them bogus info that totally screws them up.

Why is this a classless act by Jones? Not quite sure I follow the logic. The guy was released and according to what I read is eligible to sign with another team for the balance of the year. Whether he make a difference for the Riders is unknown but at least if he gets on the game day roster he will get a paycheck. Not sure I see where Jones did anything wrong here.

Makes a difference... He can't play. Maybe for next year, if they sign him.

He can play. If he had been on the active roster he wouldn't have been able to.

The reports keep changing. He can... he can't... 

I guess they're saying he can now? 

 

There has been no report of Sask signing Johnson. So why all the speculation? Because he posted from sask? Or was there an announcement?

Yes there was.

 

don't you just hate Jones, Murphy & the Riders? Total dipshit move by that organization. Why do you think they signed him? No way he plays on that line in Saskabush. They want to pick his brain about our defensive systems. So much for going home & signing with the AAFL.

The players have spoken. In the TSN player poll, through Derek Taylor, Adam Bighill was voted the CFL’s hardest hitter.

The problem being that Sutton is usually tackled behind the line.

I think it's a travesty that guy was beaten out by Trevor Harris. Real shame.

That's because it's got nothing to do with any of the reasons you've posted.
