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.

Well if Chris Jones is being a dink that would be the first time ever....

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......

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...

And they only have one backup O-line dressing.  They better hope none of their hogs go down!

Oh don't worry. I have heard numerous times they are very well off in the depth department so no issues. 

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.

Game time 10 pm ET

And that 6th olineman - Hason Hazine just converted from the dline this year.  But that's none of my business.

Oh and Ricky Collins, one of the Riders' starting SBs were released by the Bombers after mini camp this year.

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.

Lol. There's no shenanigans with the Rider's depth chart. 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.

But Lemon as #2 or even #3? No way. Knowing Jones he's just screwing around the roster.

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.

Looks like Lemon wants out

Lemon likes to follow the money. He gets John Murphy & Chris Jones.  Hard to say too bad.

Wasn't the primary colour in Bizarro world...green?

Ah, they can afford it. It's Riderville doncha know?

If they cut Lemon, we should sign him.

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!

Lemon might be a good fit here, and if we can rub it into the Rider's faces, even better.

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.

I'd take Lemon paired with Westerman. Green was terrible last game.

I predict a BC/Sask. trade.  Lulay-Lemon is just meant to happen.

No way would I want Lemon.... this club doesn't need any divas that will cause trouble in the locker room

From what Lemon posted there does not seem to be any problems in the camp.  He might be taking the high road.
