BC at Edmonton

3 Areas To Watch

Number 2 Pivot: Who Steps Up?

BC - Ricky Lloyd and first-year Leos Austin Apodaca and Cole Sears will handle the quarterback reps in hopes of getting a leg up on sticking behind Reilly on the depth chart. 

Edmonton- Danny O’Brian, Logan Kilgore, Briscoe.

- One big observation in the first week of camp is the depth at receiver. Standouts at the position have included Joey Augustin, Marquis Bundy and Mexican additions Fernando Richarte and Gerardo Alvarez. All CFL clubs are required to keep one global player on their roster beyond training camp.

- Defensive Line: Calling On Another Bookend

With Odell Willis having another strong showing in camp, the big question remains who will line up as the other bookend.

- Linebacker Adam Konar gets to battle some of his own teammates after he was cut loose and quickly picked up by the Lions on day one of camp. He’ll start at MLB

If he doesn't play oline or several spots on defense he won't help them much...when you have about 7 minutes of T.O.P in a half like in the BB cause your defense can't get off the field doesn't really matter what you have on offence with a creaky O-line

Anyone see this little gem from the least biased CFL commentator? Not sure what he wanted - Bob Irving to rave about Dickensen for not exploding at the end of the game? To me, the two games are way different and O'Shea's reaction to the hit in the game was at least understandable.

2. BOB IRVING TURNING INTO A BIG HOMER: “Knuckles” has been doing the Bomber broadcasts for nearly 50 years and he still calls the games with good objectivity and is not afraid to criticize his home team. But it’s really twitter where he’s becoming a Rockstar know-it-all. He supported Mike O’Shea’s railing against the Roughriders for injuring Winnipeg’s long-snapper with no mention of Willie Jefferson’s cheap shot on Cody Fajardo. And yet no credit for Craig Dickenson who, unlike O’Shea, didn’t explode after his loss or whine like a baby over missed calls. But rather, smiled, shook O’Shea’s hand and congratulated him on their win. The Mike O’Shea’s, Bob Irving’s and plenty of other Winnipeg fans of the Canadian football world could learn a thing or two from Craig Dickenson.

Bob Irving is a Rockstar know-it-all!!!

Actually Bob Irving could give Pedersen some valuable lessons in measured objectivity and more importantly......class.   Assuming that this guy, who is a notorious Rider lackey... had enough firing neurons, to absorb it.

Pederson is the last person who should be commenting on other media members. Its like having Pigpen giving a lecture on cleanliness.

Pedersen is an absolute embarrassment to the Riders and CFL.

Can someone in Saskatchewan please fire his ass? He's so bad that even the general public there must know he's a disgrace

he DID get fired and he's got nothing to do with the Riders anymore....I believe he now lives and works in Calgary.

He has the Rod Pedersen podcast. He was selling merch and recording a podcast outside the stadium for the LDC. 

 

EDIT: I just assume he's homeless and rides the Regina transit, talking to himself and uploading it to the internet.

**** off Pedersen.......simple as that.

we can all aspire to be as objective and credible as Rod Pedersen.

Not that funny. Only two QBs have played every game for their team this season up to this point. 

And your point? It’s just interesting that someone who has missed a quarter of the season is still number two in passing touchdowns. I know injuries to other quarterbacks play a role that’s kind of the point.

Lol, I'm not surprised Pedersen doesn't see the difference between the hit on Rempel and the one on Fajardo. QBs get hit high all the time unfortunately, but when was the last time a long snapper been knocked over?

Edited September 11, 20196 yr by WinnipegGordo

But, on TWITTER Bob mentioned how classy Dickenson's response to the situation was. WTF rod...


"Craig Dicenson's response to the Oshea-Rempel scenario demonstrates what kind of class act he is and always has been. A true credit to the CFL."

That's the tweet Bob sent out...what more do you want Rod?

Someone tweet that **** to him, cause he blocked me on twitter years ago.

Highly doubtful.

Not to mention he has got to have the most punchable face on planet earth. And the words that come out of it make it that much more punchable. Every time I see his freaking face on the internet I want to smash it with a brick. Too much?

Did he expect anything else after O’Shea had “approached” Dickenson with, how should I put  it? Attitude...

The fear O'Shea put into dickenson carried over into the next game,  and went from dickenson right through his whole team for the week leading up to the banjo bowl...... it showed on the field 

Rod Pedersen is such a turd.

He was fired by the Riders & his own radio station. He has his own podcast now.

 

Pederson is not worth fussing about. Period.

The point is that 9 games is actually quite a few relative to the amount that most of the starting QBs in the league so naturally he’s going to have more passing TDs than say, Mitchell or Masoli. And if we’re using passing TDs exclusively as a metric, he has far fewer than MBT in roughly the same number of games and most people agree that MBT is pretty bad. 

Who the **** is Rod Peterson? 

Edited September 11, 20196 yr by wanna-b-fanboy

Pederson is just going to continue to pander to idiots.

He is currently enjoying Derek Taylor and Jon Ryan arguing on Twitter.

"This is what they wanted".

"Manipulated stats".
