Riders might be able to handle the 80s Allouettes this week. A lot of those guys would be in their 60s now.

Ryan's returnable punts are returns an average of 18.9 yards. Medlock's are returned 8.2 yards. Ryan's punting average is 50.6 whereas Medlock's is 43.9. Whether Ryan likes it or not, Taylor's numbers don't lie.

They haven't played since he signed there. He's been added to the active roster so he maybe playing this week.

Lol, I'm not surprised Pedersen doesn't see the difference between the hit on Rempel and the one on Fajardo. QBs get hit high all the time unfortunately, but when was the last time a long snapper been knocked over?

They are Canada's Team and all other franchises should be measured against their incredible success.

Yup, only record I'm concerned about is O-5, the Bombers' Grey Cup record since their last win. Need to be 1-5 after this season. That wouldn't be much different than the Riders' 2-3 over the same time period.

He also needs to learn how to throw the ball away like Nichols. He's taken 2 grounding penalties so far and it could argued that the 1st one cost the Bombers the game in Regina.

I had a look. Alexander is done his 6 game but Jeffcoat has 1 game left. Briggs, Neufeld, Nelson and Oliveira are on their 2nd 6 game terms and can be taken off at anytime now with no SMS implication. (Maximum of 2 players can be taken off the injured list with no SMS impact if they have been on the list for 7 or more games.)

I wonder if the emergence of Hansen changes any Dline roster decisions. For the playoffs I would definitely dress Roh, Jefferson and Jeffcoat but down the stretch run they may rest guys and not use a DI on a DE for a game or two. The team has rested starting DLinemen in the past.

Yeah, the Riders were fortunate that Adams was out with a concussion when they played a few weeks back.

I don't think they will take Nichols off the 6 game early. That's a lot to pay a guy for 1 game. I believe the Bombers save 75K for every 6 games Nichols is on the injured list.

Yeah, I think it's Calgary who the Bombers need to keep an eye on. That last home game on Oct 25th could be for 1st place. It will be interesting if the Bombers do clinch 1st as they have a bye for the last week and then would get another bye for the 1st round of playoffs. At least their next game would be at home and the fans could help them get back into game mode and not have a sluggish start.

I didn't notice any pregame stuff. Did they try to stand at mid-field again?

Yeah, the transactions page was a lot easier to follow before this year. They also don't indicate anymore when a player is due to come off the 6 game injured list.

Jeffcoat is signed for next year. McCallister was released last week. Who knows if he even offered a PR spot but the practice roster is full. If they wanted to keep him they could have juggled things around however. Anderson could have been rostered as a 3rd QB or Santiago could have been put on the injury list. But those moves would have cost more salary. I'll text into the Coach's Show to see if McCallister was even offered a PR spot.

Streveler

I know Regina does something similar. They tend to play music even when the 20 second clock starts and their drum-line seems to play right up until the snap.

I kept on picking the Riders to lose as they were beating bad teams. I finally picked them to win tonight. Hopefully I'm wrong.

How does the ratio work with Global players? Would Hansen sorta be like an extra DI and come in for an American?

He's 21-25 on field goals this year but 3 of the misses were when McGuire was the holder. I think Medlock is a lot more comfortable with Strevy as the holder.

He's apparently an option at punt return if needed. That I'd like to see.
