No he should lose it because of the piss poor defence he's running. The Riders had 0 wins and the #1 offense heading into last week.

Lawless says he stands behind his report into the inner thoughts and desires of Brendan Taman, even though Taman himself says the opposite himself. Too bad he can't stand in front of his report so no one can see it anymore.

Lost $8 million first quarter this year.

What did he do? We had an issue with items we purchased in the stadium sale and also an issue with our seats in the new stadium. On two different occasions he called and said the items were ready, we had to borrow a truck to pick them up, we arrived and they were not ready. Happens once and you think ok it's an honest mistake, no way it could happen again, but it did twice. A third time he either lied or mistakenly said he had called us on another matter and ended up accusing us of lying. Needless to say I ended up dealing with someone a little more intelligent who is also no longer with the Football Club and they were able to smooth things over. I'm sure just another nail in Bannon's BB coffin. Just got the sense that he was way in over his head and instead of at least being honest and reasonable he'd turn everything on the customer.

Not sure what you are referring to or watching, but Adams was far from garbage. Assignment wise was spot on with blocking, and probably has lost about 5-6 receptions (clutch ones at that) for over 100 yards due to penalties. From watching TC and games this year I would say he is the smoothest route runner on the roster, and knows how to position himself to take ball in stride and in best way to produce yac yards. I would bet by end of season he will be in top 5...at worst top 10..pretty good for the 3rd option I think Adams is a beast downfield and can win a lot of those balls and keep going. He's got a nose for the endzone too. I'd like to see him be more productive around the first down marker and fight for those balls just as hard. That's kind of what I see as a huge role for that guy playing the boundary spot generally, be a dependable target for the QB, move the chains. He's quit on most of the balls I've seen go his way in that 8-10-15 yard range and a couple have led to turnovers. It's a bit harder in that range now with everyone playing zone and having DB's coming downhill on those routes.

Anything I did with the Bombers that led to me having to deal with Jeffrey Bannon. Instant regret. Almost cancelled our tickets in that 12-13 offseason mostly due to just ridiculous interactions with that goof. Unfortunately I think the Football Club still has some regrets around that too.

Adams has looked good in two games and like absolute crap in the rest. Big plays or nothing so far. Veltung is a stud though. Does not look like a rookie receiver out there at all.

Agreed. Glad to see some rush end types coming through and getting a chance. Hope they stick with the guys who have performed well the last couple weeks, Gibson especially. Wasn't a fan of Harlan, not a fan of Fraser either. Fraser is a good utility guy because he can play the 3 technique a bit, but no pressure and too slow to keep contain on any QB who is a threat with his legs.

Not sure why it matters, but Tyler Thomas isn't Caucasian.

In the moment I liked the call from Tedford to try make O'shea pay for putting them in 2nd and 18 instead of 3rd and 8 and punting. They never should have been in 3rd and 2 to go for it if O'shea made a better call the play before. The upside to accepting that penalty is up to 10 yard of field position, the downside is potentially a first down. Didn't seem like a smart move from Winnipeg at the time. Wasn't 3rd and 8. It was 3rd and less than 2 yards. The penalty was applied from the previous spot.

I heard Ray was throwing 45 yard bombs in practice a few weeks ago. I'm sure he was. I'd like to see how accurate he can be with a 300 lb monster coming full speed at him along with how his shoulder holds up after contact and weeks of throwing 1000 balls a week. I highly doubt QBs throw 1000 passes per week. You ever see a time where a QB goes 5 minutes at a football practice without throwing a ball? 3-4 practices a week plus game with warmups for all. Easily throwing 200 balls a day.

I don't believe Ray will be able to do anything significant this season anyway. He's coming back from pretty much the worst injury for a QB other than being decapitated. I can't think of any QB who's returned from a torn labrum/rotator cuff and been able to play well within a calendar year. Usually ends careers. If the Argos get a good offer during this season they'd be crazy not to take it.

Did Dr Nick do Cornish's cast? That's an awful huge production for a broken thumb.

Why the hell do teams keep signing Dobson Collins?

Any QB who can break a tackle has "potential" whether or not they can pass.

Exactly. They made a choice to not really pursue retaining a player. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but a choice was made much like Saskatchewan chose to keep Durant knowing Willy would pursue an opportunity to start.

How did the Riders not let Willy walk? They chose to keep Durant as their starter and not give Willy the money or opportunity. They didn't try to keep him. That's letting him walk IMO, similar to how the Bombers let a guy like Geroy Simon "walk."

Mr Dee is right about the referee on the Willy hit. He needs to step up to keep his eyes on his main responsibility which is the QB when he has the ball until he's completed his throwing motion or crossed the line of scrimmage. I am sure that Kim Murphy got called out for that missed call and his poor positioning on that play by the supervisor in Edmonton.

He went Galapagos last night.

Disagree with those three. He really has to step into his throws to get anything on them, and good luck having room to do that consistently. Compare his throws to Willy's last night, Willy made a bunch of tough, tough throws with Picard in his lap. Smith needs to take two steps to have any hope of making those throws. His throwing motion doesn't help, big wind-up and tends to sail throws. Can't say I've seen one quick decision from Smith, he's running around like a headless chicken for the most part.

That is the allure of the "fake the kick, throw it to Sherman" trick play. Unfortunately this is the second year running that play has failed. Didn't fail last year. Even though it was 3rd and 21, if the other wideout makes a block on Adekolu, who is a receiver, it's a big play.

Veltung is a weapon on offense, and just a solid receiver in terms of routes and hands. Has been everytime he's stepped on the field back to pre-season. I hope they don't take him out. Personally I'd prefer him as a returner and receiver over Stoudermire as a returner if it comes down to that to get Moore back on the roster. Bass has stepped it up the last couple games. Nice to see him turning the plays to the weak-side into the middle now and pursuing all over the field.

But after way too many steamboats. That play had way too much time to materialize, which put the DB/safety in a bind. BC a few times ran a three man attack on us and they get a sack. Lulay's a mobile QB who moves around a lot. Lulay, for the most part, had time to go threw his reads last night, at least that's what I saw. I yelled at the TV a lot because of that. All I'm saying is out of all the areas needed to improve our defense, as this is a passing league, that would be my number one, because everything else dominoes from there. I think the commentators mentioned last night we're eighth in passes completed against. You must count fast. They know that BC is going downfield with the ball, so priority one is to hold the rush lanes so Lulay can't slip out and run for 20 yards because the LB's and DB's will be clearing out in coverage, then get pressure upfield. Gibson was in the backfield all night and the refs probably could have called BC's tackles for a dozen holds on him. I believe they called about 5 on Gibson, many were declined. Thomas was a monster against the run, but crashing into the pocket too. Nobody can block Collins and it's clear that he's picking up how to play the yard of the ball and the wider gaps. Johnson played all over the field, end, 3 technique and linebacker. If our DL plays like that every game the defense won't be giving up many points and will probably be scoring some, or at least turning the ball over so our offence can score easily.

CJOB should go to all news. To be honest, everyone I know who wants those interest type programs listen to CBC. Also listen to CBC for news in the morning. I don't think CJOB needs shows like Adler and Dahlia. I think a station that read the news and gave traffic/weather in 5 minutes 5-6 times an hour 24-7-365 would do well in Winnipeg now. I'm thinking like 680 News in Toronto.
