  1. Entitled to representation to spell out his rights and ensure they are followed, but there's already strong recent precedent for the league to ban immediately and ongoing registered contracts for certain players who had off the field conduct that they felt tarnished the league, even without charges and/or before convictions. This incident crosses the line to off-the-field conduct with the race based trash talk and behaviour after the play, if the on-the-field conduct isn't enough. Still can't believe Riders are willing to die on this hill. I knew the older Dickenson was a moron who wasn't fit to be a head coach but this is crazy. Can't believe the CFLPA will be as stupid.
  2. If you’re a free agent and you’re getting pitched by Craig Dickenson and Mike O’Shea the choice should be pretty easy if you’re a football player.
  3. And Marino is a pretty marginal CFL player. Like if the nutcase was one of maybe 10 Canadians you have on your team who can start and play a prominent role maybe you defend him like this. You could cut this guy and dress some DL off your PR and have zero effect on winning and losing. If anything probably have a better chance of winning because you lose his 20 yards of penalties per game.
  4. Dickenson says in his weekly show that Marino basically couldn't exist in the locker room last season and is doing so much better now that they can't turn back on all that progress. Good lord if that doesn't tell Rider fans how rotten their football operation is I don't know what will.
  5. Ended every play for how many consecutive diving into some Redblacks legs...non-intentional. Really don't get why an organization or a coach will burn all their credibility for an average American DT.
  6. When Streveler swung his proverbial ******* and cock slapped a whole province. NVM was thinking 2019 Banjo Bowl.
  7. He's still waiting on evidence Biden won Arizona too. Half of the segments on his shows are about how much he wants to "love" Trudeau. Just an awful person to be associated with a league that needs real focus on the game.
  8. One thing the Riders need to do is get their players off of Twitter, or at least get them to not comment on this issue on Twitter.
  9. Lots coming up, all depends on opportunity. Luke has charted a path that hopefully more guys get back to for CFL opportunities which is playing 3-4 years of junior then going to U Sports. The problem is all these guys go to U of M and don't play at all for 3 years, there's only a few who play in those first few years, guys on the field mostly 4th and 5th years. Junior is the way to go whether it's BC or with the Rifles, easier to get playing time with Rifles but coaching quite a bit more development based in BC. The scouting in BC is national too so if guys go there for 1-2-3 years they are still getting scouted by the OUA and Atlantic schools. We have quite a few guys in the OUA right now, some went right out of high school some went through BC first. The next Canadian QB coming through is from Winnipeg but playing for McMaster, Andreas Dueck.
  10. Yeah and the player isn't exactly Doug Brown. Why bother with all this? Cut the guy and bring the next one in.
  11. No other QB in this league right now has an arm in the same realm as Collaros. Rourke can throw rainbows if he has time to torque his entire body. Collaros can throw a 35 yard rope that lands like a pillow on a full roll to his left as a right handed QB like the 2nd Schoen TD. Fajardo or Harris or MBT can't make that pass with unlimited time in a clean pocket.
  12. Great add. Like an extra draft pick. Get him in camp before he goes to college to become draft eligible, finally use our territorial exemption. I was coaching in the U16 tryouts/Blue and Gold game when Luke came in off the street, literally had not played football, as a 14 year old Grade 8 and almost made the team against a bunch of guys who had played through their grade 10 year with private coaches and the machinery of schools like St Pauls, OP, VM. Maybe doesn't seem like such a feat but even all time greats like Demski and Harris barely played in high school until they were in Grade 11. He's a natural football player and he's only improved as a receiver in the last 7-8 years with development. Would not be surprised to see him dressed to chase kicks and backup on offense this week.
  13. Didn't think the play with Robertson was intent to injure. It was an OL finishing a play. It was a legal block, Robertson was in kind of an awkward position trying to move forward between the blocks and got his foot stuck under him. I guess now there's sometimes a penalty called for being too far from the ball.
  14. I think Taylor is our worst guy this season by far. He’s constantly in recovery and getting picked on brutally.
  15. If you’re BC and all of your receivers are healthy, does Whitehead even get on the field? They can line up across the board with 6’2 and up guys who can also run by.
  16. Because that’s the primary job of everyone not rushing the QB in a league where 70% of the offensive plays are passing.
  17. It was pretty conclusive in my eyes. The ball is clearly on the turf under Houston. Couldn’t have been a fumble by Houston because it was after contact with Banks and the ground. Banks also drags it across the field when he has it. So INT or incomplete. The only reason why that play has a chance to be a TD is because of an incorrect call on the field and the kind of stupid base assumption of review that it has to prove the wrong call on the field is wrong. We need a common sense rule for review. Just watch the play and make the call that’s correct not even thinking about what the call on the field is.
  18. Maybe. I think Collaros a) doesn’t really have a guy he trusts on 50-50 balls aside from Ellingson b) isn’t trusting the pocket as he’s had a lot of them pushed into him, no time to follow through downfield. Also we’re forgetting the impact that the check downs to Harris made. That’s 50-70 yards a game we aren’t getting although we didn’t get them much last year either.
  19. Have lots of thoughts that I’ll probably add in over the week but the main ones: -We need an RB who can be an effective receiver. We Olivieira can do some hard running, McCrae has some burst, Augustine is a fine sub who might feature better in a 2 back set as in put him out there instead of Miller. Augustine can do some things in space but he doesn’t get out there with the ball on his own. -We need someone to be a deep threat without Demski…who isn’t really a consistent deep threat either. Hard call to make and maybe easier if Ellingson is down, but I think maybe we dress one of those longer body boundary type WR’s (either PR guy) over Bailey soon if nothing changes on O. -Our pass coverage (including LB’s) is really discombobulated. Taylor in particular seems to be really struggling. Still makes some plays but really getting targeted and torched too.
  20. I mean this year with Harris the Argos would have been a draw but the answer to the question is teams want more rivalry games for the gate.
  21. Yeah most of the OL who get here have played tackle at lower levels. But then they need the ability to take on athletes like Jeffcoat and the mobility to force a 190 lb SAM who runs a 4.4 wide enough to hold a pocket. I think Dobson is a force going forward out of his stance but doesn’t look at all like he has the kick to pass block the edge at this level. Like you said he needs the work inside because even there in pass protection he’s going to have to get used to doing more than using brute force.
  22. I like the H. Hate “the hammer”
  23. Dobson is an interior only guy. Think they need to consider that with tight end packages and maybe swap him abd Gray for those.
  24. Wonder if Grant has a bit more of a role on O as well. Pretty thin offensively, we’re an O’Leary-Orange or Wolitarsky nick away from playing two backs the whole game.
