Jpan85 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Not sure if Jones is trying to out smart everyone but has Lemon third on the depth chart and has there best defensive player last year Jeff Knox Jr backing up at Will LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 their depth chart is fantastic. The kid they drafted at WR this year is starting at S and a kid that was WR/TE for BC is ahead of Lemon at DE...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a kid we had as a receiver who was previously a basketball player (Reeves) backing up at DE.... This almost seems to be fake and Jones will pull the real one out on game day and hand it to Milanovich instead of shaking his hand after coming out of the tunnel 15min after the anthem is played lol.

I seriously wouldn't put it past Jones to issue this as a way of "keeping his cards close to his chest" and then having a completely different line up on game day...

Mr Dee Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 So, 3000 players were looked at by the Riders and their scouting system eh... Some CFL facts...CFL News -The Riders’ final 46-man roster will not be available until the end of the day on June 29th but a quick look suggests that as many as 35 players (approximately) could be playing their first-ever game for the club. -The Riders’ roster as of early this week held 37 players in their first, second or third CFL season, the most in the CFL. -The Hamilton defence held Toronto to just one yard rushing on 7 attempts last week. -The Argos drew only 7 penalty calls last week – the second-lowest across the entire CFL. -On the flip side, the Argos were -3 on Turnover ratio, the poorest in the CFL -Lirim Hajrullahu: Started his Argos’ career by making both of his FG attempts and both were from 40+ yards (40, 51). -The Ti-Cats’ offence produced four straight scoring drives in the first half last week against Toronto (three FGs and a TD to take an 18-0 lead. They ran off two consecutive TD drives in the second half to seal the Game time conditions should be a very interesting test for Darian Durant in his first real action in over a year. He'll have to be more than adequate with his new receivers. HC Jones doesn't seem to think it may be a problem, and he is waayyy out there in his belief that the Riders will do super well.

iso_55 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 With gambling companies getting involved as CFL sponsors how can coaches do crap like this with their lineups for much longer? I think this kind of nonsense will become a thing of the past. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players are listed at the positions there were practicing at during training camp. Jones had at least 8 guys working out in new positions in camp.

I know what you are saying but Riderfans seem to feel that Newsome had a great camp and just beat out Lemon. Knox is another guy that was expected to start but he's apparently been banged up during camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Urban Hermit Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 We just don't understand the genius of coach Jones. Next to the Bomber @ Stampeder game, I am not going to miss Argos @ Riders tomorrow night, this should be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnipegGordo Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I wouldn't want Shawn Lemon on the Bombers. I've soured on him since he walked out on the team after 3 days in 2011. Brandon and blitzmore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
