johnzo Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Remember the Phillip Hunt vs. Simeon Rottier game on opening day 2010? When Hunt buried Glenn over and over because Rottier just could not deal with him? That is what I would like to see. As a fan of the whole league, I'm interested to see what Cato looks like after a year of experience and Calvillo coaching. Is he gonna progress or has he hit his ceiling already?

ediger Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 opening day. Favourite day of the season. Hopefully our guys can do something this year to change that. Jesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) It's funny how exactly these teams match up -- both teams have pocket passers with questionable OL and a pedigreed receiving corps. Both teams have fearsome (on paper) front sevens and secondaries that have some question marks. Even the kickers look like a wash -- Bede was a 90% kicker last year. Only daylight I see between them is that I like our RB better, but I don't know how healthy our RB is. Edited June 24, 2016 by johnzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Out Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Not to start off negative already, but, this is a no win for me. Montreal should be the worst team in the league and we start off at home against them. Our schedule gets very tough; this is a must win. If we lose? Good lord.

Ottawa could just as easily fall back to earth after last year's fluke....Toronto didn't look like any hot hell last night.

TBURGESS Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 It's a very interesting match up tonight. Our suspect O line vs their excellent front 7. Their suspect O line vs our excellent front 7. Both QB's should be running for their lives, getting hit or getting the ball out quickly. Both offenses are based on quick throws and the receiver or RB making folks miss. Our QB is coming off a huge injury and is very inexperienced. Their QB is one of the most experienced QB's in the league, but's been the definition of average his entire career. Both teams have a good receiving core, although I'd give the Als an edge here. Both defenses are starting two rookie DB's. Our 2 are beside each other which is a disadvantage compared to the Als who have them both at Corner. We have home advantage. They have more experience. I'm hoping we win and that it's an interesting game unlike last nights which was pretty much over at the end of the first quarter. ddanger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Bundy Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Montreal has more DT's than DB's on the roster (I don't count safeties) seems like a scary plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ediger Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'd really like to see the Bombers hit double digits in the first quarter. I think that would go along way in settling down both the fans and the team. Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if Durant gets hurt. But a healthy Durant and Riders aren't as terrible as the Als. Lets not pretend that last year the Riders were on a 3rd string QB most of the year.

Noeller Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 You really don't think Glenn, with Sutton, Carter and Green isn't a pretty formidable offense? And then Noel Thorpe's D, which is always outstanding....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a perfectly legitimate point. Montreal is likely the worst team in the league this season, only better than SSK if Durant gets knocked out. This is a "show me" season if there ever was one for Walters and MOS. A home loss to start the season with our schedule tightening up like it does is a terrible way to start.

do or die Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Riders have questions marks at RB, and their receiving corps is ok on paper - but not a lot of CFL catches to their credit. NO backup QB at all - Durant goes down and its katybarthedoor. Their front 7 on D has to be better, than last year....but secondary has some real question marks as well.

johnzo Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) yeah, and no knock on Durant's football intelligence, which I have no ability to evaluate, but for me what made the guy special was his athleticism and especially his escapability. Not a lot of QBs around who can shrug off DTs like he did in his prime. It'll be interesting to see if he still has that and if he doesn't, how it impacts his game.

rebusrankin Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Riders have question marks at receiver, rb, dt, the secondary and the kicking game but are better than Montreal? No NI depth. They're coached by Chris Jones, not Hugh Campbell or Don Matthews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
