This isn't exclusive to the riders, teams do it all the time. Veteran leadership is a way to excuse lack of production. Bighill is making pretty good money to have 35 tackles isn't he?? He is done, but he is a hell of a leader isn't he?

You’ve picked a player that does’t help your point. Adam Bighill is the reigning Most Outstanding Defensive Player in the CFL. But your free to post what you like.

Here you are trolling again.

Take this **** back to your brain dead fan site.

“We joke about it now, but I don’t think it’s a joking matter when we say those days are over. You don’t have those six, seven, eight guys you know are going to be around and who want to be around who form the core of your team. This has become somewhat of a journeyman league, which doesn’t necessarily bode well for fan interest.” - Hervey

Sounds rough...  just can't keep a team core together anymore...  says the guy who raided everyone else's free agents to build a giant mess

Yeah, paying Reilly what he did was crazy. He just drove up the price for qbs.

Maybe Hervey doesn’t have 6-8 core guys that want to stick with his team... but I guarantee O’Shea and Walters have that many or more that want to play for them...

Yeah that falls on pretty deaf ears cause we got some guys who have been here long term and want to stay here long term... Maybe Hervey shouldn't contribute to the problem and build a team the way Kyle Walters did... drafting drafting drafting and more drafting.

His rope is already too short to try that approach now.

Still suffering from a concussion I see... Weird how you ignore the rest of his stat line (1 sack, 1 INT, 1 forced fumble) and the fact the D-line was beefed up to take the pressure off of him - unlike last season.

In this day & age, money usurps loyalty. If a bigger contract is available then players leave.  Even if they love playing for the old team they were with. They are always one hit away from leaving the game permanently so they have to do what they need to do financially.  Longer term contracts are what is needed.

List the other teams who blew cap space on an uncoachable punter just so they could have an our boy who made it big comes home story. Go.

Bighill as well missed what..4 games too..and was obviously hurt when he came back

But he doesnt have to do it all this yr anyway..so will have less stats..and also less runs against us where a LB piles up stats.

He is part of the top defense..so must be doing something right

Hey now, get those facts outta here... one isolated stat is all you need to evaluate a player...

Teams have completely given up the run against us fairly consistently... it's hard for the MLB to get tackles when teams completely abandon the attack vector which will net him tackles

Hard to convince guys to sign long-term when teams turn around and can cut them without an compensation, etc...  Matthews is actually a good example

Don't bring common sense into the conversation with  Ripper.

Powell, their prize offensive FA, got 4 carries last Saturday.

Funny that he talks about Harris' age, but forgets Powell is basically the same age.
