The biggest punishment could be the alienation of the veteran players not just on the Riders but around the league. Those guys don't want to deal with season-long training camps, they want a chance to win. I guess Jones is confident enough in his ability to build a roster of inexperienced Americans.

Mulumba is a pass rusher. He's listed as a LB because he's played on teams that run a 3-4. He's a DE.

Sad thing is they probably have one on stand-by.

Having spent a fair amount of time in Toronto the last several summers, I absolutely hate the area (Exhibition Place) that BMO Field is located in terms of getting to and from. A congested area that's lightly served (by Toronto/mega city standards) by transit. Very similar to IGF, although there is more egress from BMO.

Draft picks likely. I'd get rid of their roster advantages almost immediately. No DI's. Fewer imports on the practice roster. Audit the hell out of them consistently even when they start following the rules.

Can't wait to see what our OL looks like with Foketi. IMO Hardrick is the worst of the import OL.

Who exactly are you thinking of as being around to sign mid-season?

Are you serious? You think he'd be able to sign any free agents if he didn't?

Fogg is better than both of them. McDuffie is fine on kickoffs, but really doesn't do much else better than average. I'd prefer someone who could contribute on O or D with that DI spot if a starter is going to return punts.

McDuffie costs us field position far too often by letting the ball hit the turf. He doesn't make up for that with great returns either. Personally I'd try to find a better receiver to take a DI spot or promote Flanders to return kickoffs and give Harris some snaps on the sideline.

Doesn't really need to be called IMO. Inconsequential to the play and nothing really with intent behind it, hand in wrong place. Ref easily could have easily let Green know he saw it and that he can't do that.

Much prefer Fogg to McDuffie. Catches the punts effortlessly and protects the ball. Should have 2 TD's in basically 2 games returning, both brought back for marginal (being generous) calls once he was already gone.

Bottom line, it's outright cheating a basic league rule. $15,000 isn't enough. Money isn't enough unless it's absurd like $1 million. Punish them with roster spots. Knock them down 2 DI's and make them play with extra Canadians.

His movement looks extremely laboured. I doubt his body holds up, mostly his lower body with that awful broken leg he's taken 3 years to come back from.

Harris is really struggling. He's trying to do too much, maybe trying to be the saviour. The OL was really bad too run blocking, but especially after the shift when Hardrick went out. As you saw, running stretch plays when your interior guys aren't firing off the line leads to big losses.

The league is botching this one big time. Call it!

It's far worse now than it was 2 hours ago.

Even if it starts the first sign of lightning within 50 km brings it to a screeching halt.

Hardly a punishment. Make them play short a DI in their next game.

90 minutes should be a cancellation. Can't expect people to hang around. It's 90 minutes and reevaluate according to Lazuruk. Dumb. These delays are getting way out of hand. I can see the stadium from where I'm at and there's been one nearby lightning strike in the last hour.

Milanovich/Brady probably more to do with it than Ray.

Not sure anyone wants to claim Gale yet...he looks pretty pedestrian.

Hajrullahu was a pending free agent. Didn't seem like he was all that interested in being here either.

Glad a guy like Denmark was literally sitting in Winnipeg waiting for a call. I know I'm in the minority but I'm really not a fan of McDuffie as a receiver and kind of lukewarm on him as a returner too. He's got potential to make big plays, but he kinda sucks at the basics and that's a little dangerous.

I don't find many WIL or MAC LBs too impactful on the game now. Literally nobody runs the ball more than a handful of times a game. Better have a guy who can rush the passer and be smart in zone coverage.
