Put down the green goggles for a second, you have issues at receiver, RB, OL, DL, LB and DB.  Also special teams in pretty much every spot.

Quit changing the subject. You referred to receivers. Which one of our receivers sits for Troy?  Holley, Collins, Roosevelt.  None of them and you know it or you know nothing about football. Stoudemire was a failed receiver experiment with the Riders and Bombers before, simply because he can't catch,  and is not a elite return guy IMHO.  Would you sit Fogg on returns so he could play?

Was Stoudemire not a DB by trade?

He played receiver, wide out in college and then moved to db. Wasn't drafted and has spent time on both offense and defence. His most recent stint in nfl was at wide out.  Bottom line is he isn't a starter at either, he is just a returner.

I'd probably argue they have some decent receivers right now... Holly and Collins could be good in the future... Roosevelt and Bagg (when healthy) are pretty solid now... they also have no QB depth... after Durant their QBs probably aren't roster players on most other teams...

No Fogg is on the Bombers, he doesn't have to sit.  This is about the Riders picking up Stoudermire, try to keep up.

And yes I would sit Kendial Lawrence to have Troy Stoudermire on returns.  No question.  He'd also be an improvement in your secondary.  Actually looked capable when he got a shot there in Winnipeg.  When is the last time a Rider DB achieved the lofty heights of appearing capable?

Do we know he's a locker room cancer? Randle is great no doubt, but he's had injury issues, and i'm confident in our young secondary. 

Seriously?  Just about every other day there seems to be a story of him having issues with someone on the team.  The bumping thing in Ottawa showed the level of intelligence and maturity this guy has.  It's clear that this guy would be nothing but a huge distraction and I'm pretty confident that O'Shea would make it clear that he does not want this guy anywhere near the Bombers locker room.

Don't ever want to see Carter in a Bomber uniform.

don't think there is much chance of that happening. It'll be interesting to see where Duron ends up... don't think he'd want to live anywhere like the Canadian prairies. Maybe Wally's place.

I thought the Riders were excellent on special teams

 

Coverage and punting was excellent on the Banjo Bowl for the riders. Thought he out kicked medlock.

Obviously their kicker had a bad game at the LDC, but he seemed to have been a bright spot up to that point. Also how quickly do we forget the return that killed us last game.
