I guess that's a CFL rule.

Gives you a real appreciation for what the Stamps have done first under Wally & then under Higgins & Hufnagel since 1990. Only 3 really bad seasons in 26 years & that was due to owner interference by Michael Feterik during that time. The rest have been playoff & Grey Cup appearance & winning seasons. Now with Huff as full time GM it doesn't look like they missed a beat with Dickenson as HC.

Does he want to come to the Bombers as the fifth running back at camp & then sit on the PR when he knows he can be dominating in junior or CIS? Some guys would rather play. I guess ultimately it's his choice.

I just looked at Harris body of work last year & how he took charge & his age. He had potential to be extremely good whereas with Ray you know what you get. A guy who dinks & dunks. A guy who shows little or no emotion on the sidelines or field. A guy who just seems to mail it in at times with his lack of enthusiasm. Doesn't play great anymore yet he doesn't play that badly to sit. That is what Ricky Ray has become now. He was the safe choice performance wise but not necessarily the right one. Job #1 this past off season should have been to sign Harris. The Argos didn't get it done.

Can Ritchott play CIS & still be territorially exempt?

Or he can get injured again at 36. His best years are behind him.

That's up to the Bombers. Besides, who knows what we'll need as draft picks in the years to come. Junior ball is still far away from the CFL developmentally.

Let him enjoy his time in junior where he can be a big fish in a small pond. If he is indeed good enough he'll be in the CFL. harris opened up a lot of doors for junior players. I think we all remember when the Draft was called the CIS Draft & not the CFL Draft as teams wouldn't even consider drafting a kid out of junior just a few short years ago.

Even Andrew Harris didn't do that in junior.

You're saying he's not a leader? I don't get what you're point is here? Why should Durant throw himself on a sword to die for if no one else does, especially Jones? Yeah, he threw 4 picks. Stuff happens. Every qb throws interceptions as it just comes with the position when the ball is thrown. What about that brutal Rider defense & stanky OL? Where are the rest of the players who said they played badly last night? What about the coaches? Will they admit they were outcoached? Will Jones & Murphy say they can't recruit? Did Jones take responsibility for the roster violations & fines by saying it was his fault? He was more pissed off he was caught than sorry. So, I see none of that. The Riders quit last night. Where are the apologies from players & coaches for that? Why then, if it isn't imcumbent on the rest of the organization to "step up" & admit that their actions cost them the game is it incumbent on Durant to do so? I saw no temper tantrums from Durant after each of those picks. He didn't act like a Diva the way Burris did on TSN. The guy's a pro. He knows this team will be lucky to win another game or two this season. Zontar, with all the problems the Riders have, Durant is the least of them. They look so much like the Bombers of 2013. Worst Canadian talent in the league, barely enough Intl talent to be competitive. The Riders have so many huge holes to fill almost everywhere. A coach with absolutely no answers. Recruiting & the CFL draft for them this year has been terrible. It took the Bombers 3 seasons just to get where we are now. And who knows if even that is good enough. It's going to be a long, dark road back to respectability for the Riders in the times to come.

Go find a shovel?

I guess hank should have been worried after all. It's going to get ugly in Pissy Town... I mean By Town.

How can Durant step up when the stairs beneath him are broken? Why didn't Massoli & Matthews step up when Collaros was injured? They had twice the talent level around them that Durant has now. All they had to do was play within the system. Except for 1 game Massoli played brutal. Matthews didn't even last 3 games as a starter. Your team should have won a Grey Cup with or without Collaros. I'm not a Rider fan but I don't blame Durant for any of this. he can only do so much. The guy came back from a torn achilles. Durant gives them A CHANCE to win albeit not much.

LOL at the Argos. It is now.

What's Durant supposed to do? Can't do it himself. The Riders are like the Titanic sinking. Plugging one hole wont keep it afloat.

Willy is just about done. I hope he never plays another down for us again. Time to move on.

Durant is 3 times the better qb than Willy. If the Riders did that it would mean Jones has totally lost his mind.

Sure. And peanuts grow in vineyards. The Argos had no intentions of trading Ray. I think the seeds for Harris leaving is after playing so well in 2015 he was benched when Ray came back which he didn't like. The Argos had until mid February to move Ray if they wanted to but chose to stand pat. Big mistake as Ray is virtually finished.

Massive.

Jones is finding out just what many of his coaching buddies around the league really think of him. Not much.

I wonder if Jones will accuse Austin of winning without class? ha, ha. Love the mud being rubbed in Jones face.

Yeah, I just go WTH are they doing? Not much real discussion.

Jensen looks like he can play.

Collaros has gone cold.

LOL! It sure sucks to be a Rider or a Rider fan. Just pile on the points Hamilton.
