bearpants Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Rider homerism seems to be at an all time high right now... via http://www.rodpedersen.com/2015/02/daytona-homes-monday-morning-goalie_23.html "THE WINNERS AND LOSERS: It's too early to crown a winner in 2015 CFL free agency but because we get all wrapped up in wins and losses, it's prudent to look at what's gone on so far. Clearly the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Ottawa RedBlacks signed the MOST players and both clubs certainly upgraded their talent. Not coincidentally both franchises finished at the bottom of their respective divisions in 2014 so they had to do something.However, to me, the most intriguing free agent on the market was quarterback Kevin Glenn and I pointed that out on the SportsCage prior to the Feb 10 deadline. So given the fact he signed with Saskatchewan, you'd have to think the Riders are near the top when you're deciphering a free agency winner. Plus, they were able to retain all the players they were hoping to while the Calgary Stampeders were ravaged.It's also interesting to note that two-time Grey Cup champion with the Stampeders, Nik Lewis, is still floating around in free agent space. The Roughriders declared weeks ago that they have to interest in Lewis." To summarize... signing Kevin Glenn = winning in FA so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To summarize... signing Kevin Glenn = winning in FA so far Its a great signing if you know for sure that Durant is not going to be effective any more and also that Sunseri and whomever else are going to suck. Let the Rider fans gloat. If they are looking to Glenn to lead them to the promised land, they are going to be wandering in the wilderness for a while yet.

GCn20 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Despite our media being highly critical at times....I will take it any day over the tripe that Pederson tries to peddle. He is by far the biggest homer in sport journalism and it taints him because of stupid crap like Kevin Glenn=FA winners. Al Bundy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandgoldguy Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks for posting that Rider article. Many laughs from this poster. Like that part about how the Riders signed everyone they wanted to while the Stamps roster was decimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 HAM extends CJ Gable. Gable and Grigsby aint a bad back-field and they still have Mosis Madu. You think they keep all of them around? Unless Grigsby got some balls surgically added in the offseason he's not as good as the other two guys.

GCn20 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Grigsby is, at best, a guy who will have a few offensive plays and will see only limited playing time. Doublezero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Grigsby is a runningback who can't break tackles. That's like having a quarterback who's only weakness is passing the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Grigsby probably compete with his pal MADU for the backup RB job. Gable is the man there, the 3 year extension says that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stuck with him long after it was clear he is the kind of back who is slow to read the gaps and is down on first contact. Makes you wonder what they were thinking.

It pains me to say this, but I think Grigsby will have a decent season for you guys. He looked good at times for you guys last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me over sensitive but really beginning to think you don't like Grigsby. And you might be surprised to learn that it has nothing to do with the circumstances of him no longer being a Bomber. The guy is just a giant ***** as a running back. He actually hampered the offense in Winnipeg and made them worse and easier to defend. God knows how many hits he subjected Willy too because he couldn't establish any kind of run threat and allowed teams to pin their ears back. I just have absolutely no use for a runningback who shies away from contact and refuses to hit the line of scrimmage hard and fast and who goes down if you even touch him with one hand.
