Probably going to be a game that's over by half time given the Als OL matchup against the Riders DL.  But I say yank Willy at the first sack he takes.  Yank him and put in Vernon Adams on zone read rollout packages.  Riders D isn't ready for that.

Temporary insanity.

You could see the frustration that Edem had with Carter with the UR in the end zone. I thought for sure he was going to walk over and give Carter a shove for being so stupid.

Watching those Riders does take the sting out of a Bomber loss. That Ticat team that put 31 on us will surely put up 60 on the Criders if they aren't any better than this week.

 

 

Whatever point Jones was trying to make with Carter is now hopelessly lost. "Work on technique" ? Good scouting can get you a CB, good coaching to make him better.

Every minute Jones clings to this is ego, at worst incompetence. 

Anyone care to speculate what point MTL players were trying to make with the cans of pop on the bench ?

Chris Jones is a bad coach but even worse GM, he dressed only 5 O linemen last night and continues to play his best O player as a db who cant cover anyone, Gave plenty of money to 2 DE's and they d is terrible

Riders were within 2 pts. of the Als at one point late in the 4th Q. in a sold out Mosaic stadium in a town where people really don't have much else to talk about and yet  Jones at no point thinks to put Bridge back in the game to try to salvage a victory.  Bridge is not much of a QB imo. but there is no doubting his physical ability, he can throw the ball a mile and he can run like the wind.  Somewhere in his mixed bag of QB skills and experience I believe he had the wherewithal to put together enough plays to defeat the Als. and yet Jones decided early on not to explore that possibility and pissed away the second half playing Watford.

that one was hard to figure out - with Bridge I think they had a chance as the Als were really not doing that much. I think playing Watford was Jones's way of telling everyone he runs the show in Regina. They now have back to back with Hamilton and it could get ugly in Regina if they drop both games.

Riders have Hamilton (2), Calgary (2) and Edmonton (1) for their next five. 1-7 is a real possibility.

713 might be in jeopardy too if Carter continues at CB.

As much as Suitor might try and convince everyone Carter can not continue to play on d and be a db,

I'm convinced Jones has thrown in the towel and is looking to get out of his Rider contract before next year's salary restrictions cut into his pie, a 1-7 start will virtually finish him off.

I think it's because the only play that worked for Jones last season was pulling Glenn and putting Bridge into the game. That move works because Bridge has at least a bit of experience and it totally changes how a team has to defend because Glenn and Bridge are stylistically such different qbs. You yank Bridge for a less experienced qb of the same ilk though and what are you really changing? All you're doing is flat out downgrading the most important position on the field. 

Jones thinks he is a hell of a lot smarter than he is and it's costing his team games. I for one love it. 

I'd argue to say that Carter isnt there best offensive threat either. Too inconsistent.. make a the odd great play but disappears for stretches..gets the droppsies and as shown last night..takes dumb penalties at bad times...he does it on offense just like on defense.

That..and the fact you can get your left nut guys are tired of his BS there and Jones' insistance to coddle him..fracturing that club house I bet..and his constant yapping and boasts of being so great has to have most of his teammates sick of hearing him on a daily basis..most people just get it once a week but those poor riders get it daily..yikes

Unreal. The guy couldnt tackle a bedridden 98 year old with glaucoma last year.

Lol, what an idiot. How long will the antics go on before his attitude on and off the field ends up with him out of the league?

Geez, just looked at Carter's twitter account, its not just Elliott, it looks like the guy spends most of his day talking smack to people who "disrespect" him. Including a recovering alcoholic?!?!

I thought Willy actually played a pretty good game before he went down. It’s too bad he got hurt.

Bbq chicken.  I swear you can't make that **** up. I like Brandon Banks comment at the end... Something like, "thanks for the entertainment fellas". I bet Wally must be wondering why he didn't retire. That twitter storm is pure gold.

At one point the Bombers were paying Willy $400,000 plus to do what he does, now I doubt he's earning 1/4th of that salary and he's struggling to hold a job on the worst team in the league.

Certainly hasn't improved as a qb has he? There has been no growth as a player. Willy  plateaued & has never gotten better. He is what he is & that is a journeyman qb who even has a hard time being a backup. 

Funny thing is post game Carter said he didn't struggle or have a bad game..like wtf...and that Twitter stuff is hilarious..what a moron

I suspect that playing for Chris Jones is about the worst thing that could have happened to Duron. 

The decision to keep him playing on defence might be the oddest thing I've seen in the CFL.

I predict Duron won't be playing football in the CFL next season.

 He probably doesn't need the money to play in the FCFL, so good on him for doing that.

I hope he can come round. I don' think he's a bad person at all. just a bit overwraught.
