This is going to sound slightly crazy but I actually think we match up very well with Calgary on paper.

When we hired O'Shea, we weren't hiring him because he was the best candidate to do the job the moment he took over. He wasn't going to be a candidate that produced immediate results. He was viewed as a guy who had all the makings of a great head coach, provided he was given the opportunity to learn and grow into the role in an environment that wasn't too volatile to afford him some patience. The entire plan when we hired him was to stick to the script and be patient. We've done that. Why would we EVER consider starting over now?

And Jacques Chapdelaine is the interim coach in Montreal hahaha

Looks like Dunk was right (big surprise) as Montreal will announce Popp is out as head coach. In other news, BC signed Terrell Sinkfield today. That scares me.

Most Outstanding Player - Andrew Harris Most Outstanding Canadian - can't really give it to anyone else but Harris if he's the MOP Most Outstanding Defensive Player - Maurice Leggett Most Outstanding Lineman - Matthias Goossen Most Outstanding Special Teams Player - Justin Medlock Most Outstanding Rookie - Taylor Loffler

Medlock is not Canadian.

Good to see us do a couple things winning teams need to do. Coming from behind ... being effective in the red zone ... overcoming adversity. I like it.

I honestly don't understand how you couldn't see anything from O'Shea. He's not so quietly become one of the best head coaches in the CFL and that's no stretch. He has his moments, but what coach doesn't? He's worlds different as a coach than he was two or three years ago. His players love playing for him. His team is among the most disciplined in the CFL. He uses challenges more effectively than almost any coach in the CFL. His understanding of how to play in specific situations has improved leaps and bounds. His roster management, which was my biggest knock on him in years past, has undergone a complete 180. Dickenson is probably coach of the year but there's 0 chance O'Shea isn't a finalist.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure his content won't be on the official Rider site anymore.

Keep em in keep em in!

Good points, I don't think that would be an unreasonable way to go.

All in all, I see no drop off if Harris is a go. If I had to guess, it looks like we're going to go with Heath and Tennant as the scratches?

I can't wait until Montreal and Saskatchewan play eachother again.

Probably just because everyone thinks he's NFL bound though, let's be real.

Interesting that Frederick has beat out Adams ... I kinda like it.

Just remember boys and girls - you never go Full Cato.

Maybe it was just a weak OL class, I can't remember exactly what I heard.

Interesting. Personally, I wouldn't be interested but I feel like Saskatchewan would.

I really would like to get Junior Luke if possible. He's got some good potential, imo

http://www.cfl.ca/2016/09/15/senior-headlines-central-scouting-bureau-september-rankings/ Glad these are finally out. From what I've heard, it's a pretty weak draft year. Pretty telling that there's a TE in the top 10 prospects. Good to see a Manitoba boy in the top 20 though, especially an OL - there is definitely a shortage of them this year though.

wowza

Like I said, anyone using this story to push an agenda of any kind is an absolute idiot. ... so no surprise Rod Pedersen is all over it.

Serious question and I'm not asking this to diminish anything you may have to say but aren't you like 15 years old? I guess what I'm saying is familiarity with how alcohol consumption can and can't be dealt with may be out of your comfort zone. These things are already ALL in place. Rules don't prevent jerks from being jerks. People who break rules aren't going to be deterred by more rules.

This isn't going to solve anything.

Upside down proof cups.
