watching the CFL.ca stream .. they are hyping the New Era gear .. I see the bucket hats are back, tempted to pick one up, but damn they are spendy.

 

Those shotgun snaps are atrocious.

Terrible snaps

TBH a big part of our D getting gashed was guys who aren't making the team.missing tackles

Front 6 with the Jeff’s Thomas and Lawson and biggie is going to be really good. 

Jones runs like he has a toddler holding onto his leg.

And in two plays Jones gets cut

It may of happened before that....

Rough rep by the right tackle there on the second down play - and yes the snaps are horrendous as well.

Szott is a guard. I think they are just seeing who’s got what versatility to back up. Dobson did much better this week. Once Eli is healthy Szott probably gets cut

I'm too lazy to look at all the previous replies if this was mentioned already but Houston did not look good out there.  Got torched a few times.

And.... This is probably the only time the riders beat the bombers in the past 3 years.

In't it a pity?

Isn't it a shame?

No one ever warned the boy

Pro football is a vicious game.

Szott! is the sound the ball makes as it whizzes past your ear.

Pass rush and WIL backer will be concerns coming into the season.

it's what comes out of a players nose on a big hit.

Man this D is just so so bad 

Realistically what we expected. All these guys aren't obviously gonna be on the field all at once. Get some of them to fill in here and there, especially with Biggie directing, we're fine.

Been a slice gents - Till next Friday. Go Blue!

Barnes with a great catch and run but he should’ve got out of bounds. 

I wonder why no one has picked up Sean Lemon? I figured we might be the team to do it.

yeah, that's not great, bad game awareness. cost his rookie teammates a precious rep.

Would have liked a longer look at the import backs.  Barnes gets in the game with 27 seconds, makes one play.  We know Augustine can get four yards and go down at first contact, give him 2-3 carries to get his legs and move along.

am I allowed to stroke myself to the idea of tyrrell pigrome being a future star?

Officially worried about the defence.

Let's see how things shake out after the first few games. You really can't make any judgement based on two exhibition games.

Depth continues to be an issue.  Jefferson and Jeffcoat need a third.  We need a WIL.  

Post game... Barker is senile get him off the panel.  Thinks Riders can challenge for 2nd place.
