Didn't he steal a team mates wallet or something earning the nickname kenton thief? Seems to me he is a guy with a well earned poor reputation who refuses to acknowledge his fault. In summary **** that guy for being a rider.

based purely on his on field work 100%. Guy is a legend not only for the bombers but league wide. Just a shame that his lack of professionalism sour people's memory of the guy.

to be fair we were cherry picking what we watched... I don't think it's a case of athletes being so much different, just a change in how guys are used and what type of player is being used at what positions. from 2001 through to now you've basically seen a dramatic evolution in what passes for a linebacker in the CFL. early 2000s was 3 pretty traditional linebackers which became one linebacker being pretty purely a DB position to the point now where your other outside linebacker better be pretty damned good in coverage and your middle linebacker needs the versatility as well to be all over the field. I don't think there's a huge transformation in athletes from then to now, more just improvements in the ability to keep players healthy and recover better from injuries.

you don't think you could drop 2001 era Doug Brown into todays game and have him still be a top player? The biggest difference on the defensive lines right now IMO is that everyone uses heavy rotations to keep players fresh moreso than a dramatic change.

and how many failed 3rd and short gambles because the line got absolutely worked? This is why everyone hates rider fans. they actually believe the crap they spew in that echo chamber.

Every single one of them actually bought into the hype that Faj was a good qb because he was West MOP* in 2019. As if that actually meant anything.

And they tried to use the blueprint Hamilton did to do it to!

Maybe the best front in the league... missing some huge pieces.... fullback made plays! Yeah exploiting the 3rd string special teamer playing in place of injuries... faj didn't get sacked but he was hardly free and clean all night. The delusion is strong when you are grasping at straws like that. Come the 4th quarter when it mattered it was domination.

I dunno man, Milt and Roberts would make plays against that D. The issue would be how many times would they turn the ball over. Back then the bend but don't break D gave teams absolute fits because no one could systematically march the ball down the field. That being said considering how much lighter LBs have gotten since then Sellers might have tossed some guys into the 3rd row blocking.

I am not sure they were less than the sum of their pieces... they were just a really shallow team that relied on the stars being stars.

Even with Rourke BC never scared me. Too much of a glass cannon. I don't see them as the team to grind out a win.

Plus they're veterans.

Yeah the rider fans crapped all over mcadoo for his boring ass offense, but he tailored it to what his qb could do. Moved the pocket Ll the time, lots of shirt quick throws, lots of rushing. It's what you gotta do with a limited qb. Jason Maas though... he doesn't have the patience for that. He wants a qb that can make all the throws and play from the pocket and the run game is just an afterthought.

They had good stats in 01, but it was 02 that they absolutely clowned the league. I still think 02 was their shot at a cup if not for literally every star getting hurt just in time for playoffs.

01 maybe had bigger stars but way less depth.

Reckon with Ritchie Hall being as old as he is we could keep younger as our DC if we really wanted to.

Besides that we both know lapo would do double duty ad HC/OC anyway. He's an offensive guru after all.

Why you wish that evil on khari?

Yeah Brady looks way thicker than Harris and is more of a just run you over runner as opposed to Harris who was more elusive. With the offensive line really starting to impose their will in the run game there are not gonna be any defenses want to face that in the cold.

Some people are not as clever as they think they are. People only ever asked why dress someone who doesn't get snaps. You have been hyping BOLO since day one far as I remember.

So no shock that Lapo gets fired, only why now? It does nothing for the redblacks.

They know that sacking fajardo happens if you just keep him in front of you. Dude has no ability to get beyond read one and if he can't ad lib he will run himself into trouble. 3rd stringer cosplaying as a starter

Riders were holding that too.

Plus he is a terrible passer. That int was just laughable. Launches a moon shot way over throwing the receiver who quits cause it is such an overthrow... thankfully the db (Parker i believe) stuck with it and made the play. So horrible throw by the qb, but embarrassing quit by the receiver
