...Lawless says Riders looking at Ottawa Asst GM and John Murphy as potential new GM. Have asked for permission to speak to both. Fwiw.

Here's to Jones continuing this with Demski and an early homecoming for Nic.

I can't believe Mike doesn't think strength is important for offensive linemen.  Clueless

He'd be wise to keep at least an arms length away from such discussions. 

 

 

Funny thing what ever Chung is getting paid is very cost friendly for the production they are getting out him. But it's nice of the Riders to be the knights in shining armour to save the rest of 8 teams in the up coming years ?. It's great though the Riders won't have to over pay next year on their first overall pick. 

After reading some 50 pages of that thread I don't know how Suzie puts up with those bags of milk.

HA!  I get it because they were discussing the the length of arms.

I have this strange anticipatory sense that Jones and his ego are going to implode in Saskatchewan ... we can only hope 

Market correction? Lol that should "correct" the market for the next...oh I don't know, 11 months or so.

That theory is dumb. And I pray to god it's true!

It's the old MUTCUB (made up to cover up bias) trick ...

Let's say we did not like how much France was paying for their wine and decided to make a market correction a la Riders by refusing to pay any more than $5.00 for Canadian wine.  When we told them what how we had fixed it they would say: "monsieur, allez manger du caca."

I'd argue that for a tackle foot speed and arm length are more important.

I know the NFL has a minimum arm length that they prefer for tackles. Footwork/footspeed is fairly obvious.

All is well in Rider Stronson's Rider World, no matter how much everything is crumbling all around him ...

The power generation comes from legs and hips and goes up. Lower body strength is more important, but great upper body strength can really bail a tackle out.  Of course foot speed hip fluidity and such are all very important at tackle too. What ever a Ts weakest at is most important to him. Lots of linemen out there dont have particularly big arms for their stature. But they all have big legs. Its kinda taken for granted that when your 300+ and play a sport at a high level that your legs will be pretty damn strong. I think thats why 225 reps at the combine is thought soo highly of for linemen. If a guy has strong upper body and is that big his legs probably wont be lagging too badily. 

For me though ill take a quick/explosive tackle over any other single attribute. 

just out of curiosity... this RF thread everyone is talking about is "Riders pick JSJ 1st overall"??

Mike Lucas attempted to engage RS into a battle of wits but soon found out he was beating up on an unarmed man.

Well the whole 100 pages are pretty funny but the last five or so is where things get undone for the poor RS.

Sorry Bigblue, didn't see your post.

Stupid phone. 

I always thought technique plus foot work were most important for an OL. I mean I look at a guy like Tyson Pence who was huge... jacked... but wasn't very good at all. Didn't have the technique and foot work down so he failed

I jumped to about 60 and we're right before camp is about to start and he's not signed... things are starting to heat up...

 

 

can we just trade the rights to Bilukidi for the rights to St. John?
