Rod Black Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Montreal only had one more day of prep than SK. Williams wanted to demonstrate some new pass catching method, knock the ball out of the air and then catch it. Worked once, and announcers called it highlight reel, another time and it was incomplete, third time, int for td. Then helmet throwing? Wtf was that child doing?

Not surprised at all by the lack of discipline. Plus Dickenson has all the authority of Barny Fife or Principal Belding. It always feels like Marino takes 1 - 2 unnecessary roughness penalties per game and usually at the wrong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf was that child doing? yeah the catch was a total fluke....just luck that it fell into his fat gut...and yeah for a wideout he looks Nik Lewisesque....minus the heart...and team first mentality...and yeah that helmet toss was pathetic and childish....loserville in riderville 27 minutes ago, stevethe3rd said: Montreal played Thursday, Riders Saturday. still is much ado about nothing...excuses are for losers...we will see if the next short week team gets manhandled...takes dumb penalty after dumb penalty...has their QB look like he has no clue...or arm and get thrashed on the scoreboard 4 minutes ago, Brandon said: It always feels like Marino takes 1 - 2 unnecessary roughness penalties per game and usually at the wrong time. and is dirty......from mouths of current players too btw....

Yesterday from the opening kick off the Riders were being completely outclassed and Dandy or whatever the new center had fresh legs and was just a turnstile being pushed around from the start.

Mike Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 It really is crazy what lengths the Rider fan base will go to in order to justify their team’s performance. Nothing matters until they realize that they’re being headed by an average level QB playing behind a terrible OL and the team isn’t anywhere near disciplined enough. Those are the issues. That’s it. They’ve got solid players at a lot of spots - Duke, Leonard, Robertson, Marino, Sankey, Moncrief, etc etc but Fajardo isn’t a winner and the team around him isn’t going to make up for it by playing hard-nosed and disciplined ball. It’s a bunch of me me me out there and they’re never going to win a ring like that. JCon, blue_gold_84, Tracker and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagBlieBulls Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Honestly the biggest problem with the riders last game was Montreal didn't miss any field goals. Riders lead the league in wins thanks to opposition missed field goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuranBoldenRules Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Matter of time before Duke is injured too with the punishment he takes from defenders and having to lay out to catch any pass from Fajardo's noodle. rebusrankin and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a QB performance that is at least somewhat competent The Als might have still have won with a subpar QB performance, but the game would have been much closer Ummm..no..Harris was average to slightly above average. His was not some virtuoso performance. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oline with Clark prob gives up 6 sacks regardless....it was laid out plain and simple...QB there is weak....and with zero protection just compounds it....and that defense has pieces, but it's got too many holes, and wayyyy too much undisciplined play....chalk that up to a weak ass coach and management, and bringing in guys who don't buy into team....Dickie said prior to game that if they don't smarten up....then guess guys need to lose playing time....see if he sticks to his guns....but I doubt it Is it a lack of discipline or a lack of character? Me first players. O'Day learned his craft from Jones who puts zero stock in a player's character. Talent is great when scouting but guys like Walters know that it is only part of the equation.

I think there are hotheads like Marino who just have no self control, and then you have others like Marshall who are just ego driven to take stupid penalties. Either way, adds up to a lack of discipline that the coach can't really do much about because it is ingrained in the individual. A good room might be able to kick a couple of these guys back into shape, but one that is rudderless has no chance. This is not to let Dickie off the hook, because he is the HC and needs to put his foot down but he inherited a pretty undisciplined roster from Jones that can only be remedied by making some really tough choices.
