Streveler is the more talented QB but his inexperience will show. Hopefully we can keep the gameplan simple enough that we avoid the big mistakes.

Radio was definitely effective marketing in 1995.

So petty. Love it.

Indeed! However the difference is that everyone knows they aren't a terrorist or communist so calling them that has no effect. Calling someone homophobic or racist will have their backs against the wall instantly. And that's what the Left does to their opponents, every day. Sometimes deserved but sometimes not. For example, calling everyone who opposes illegal immigration (refugees crossing our border en masse and "jumping the queue") a racist. Or that opposing millions of dollars for trans-friendly bathrooms means you are transphobic. It's a very combative way to lead and it turns off a lot of people. That's part of why we're getting the Trumps and Doug Fords.

Oh yeah. DE. Not DT. I said Bryant up there but I mean Oko.

I'd get him on our PR asap, if he is willing to do that.

Yes, those two things certainly play into it, along with the Bomber marketing department being a joke.

A big part of the equation is whether Hardrick or Foketi will be ready to start on Thursday. if not, we may start 4 NI's on the OL and that means we can have an extra DI. Looking at the current roster, my guess would be Medlock, Bryant, Lankford/Thompkins, Flanders. Whether we need Lankford depends on if we are comfortable with some combination of Flanders/Augustine and others doing kickoff returns.

Looks like there are still tons of tickets left for the game on Thursday. If I had to make an estimate, I'd say we're on track for 24-25,000 at the home opener. Marketing department not doing their job this year as most casual fans I talk to aren't even aware the season is starting yet.

If that was true you wouldn't have every OL stocked with Canadians.

Its only not cost effective when you're engaging in bidding wars over the top guys. You're counting guys like Flanders, Hardrick, and Darvin Adams as free agent signings but they didn't come at big free agent price tags. They broke out after arriving here. Even Matt Nichols himself came cheap. You could make arguments for Bryant, Bowman, and Dressler being high priced acquisitions but that is just three guys. I think that's okay.

To be fair there are only 12 internationals on the roster on offence so 4 players is one third of the total group.

What if Roh or someone else got injured? Or showed up out of shape? Players aren't just brought in to beat out vets, they are brought in for depth as well.

I'd say so. 44 dress. 2 on reserve. The player count is 52 right now... there are a few guys listed in multiple spots on that chart. There will be a few injury spots. Isn't it concerning that league all stars sign with your team and suddenly look bad? That's not a coincidence...

He's not, he practiced this week.

Yeah... Montgomery is probably tired of being on PRs. He was a 3rd round pick in the NFL in 2013 and has been on NFL and CFL PRs ever since. That's five years without a single pro game played.

Well he did catch a touchdown last night too.

Not including Nichols, Leggett, and Wild, this leaves us with 50 players. 26 International, 24 National. They will have to shuffle a few onto the injured lists. But here is my take on the depth chart:

Well apparently contrary to popular belief, you DON'T gotta have Faith

Protect the ball, make smart passes, rely on Andrew Harris. That's all you can really ask of the young guys.

That was AJ Coney. Washington doesn't do returns. He is 6'4, 220 lbs.

This post is simply idiotic.

Duron Carter, Naaman Roosevelt, Caleb Holley, Jordan Williams-Lambert, Devon Bailey

Wow. Very questionable decision by the Riders considering their awful Canadian talent.

There seems to be a sudden shortage of quality quarterbacks in the CFL. They really need one of the guys on their roster to step up. I don't know why we haven't seen Schiltz yet today. I thought he might be their best hope.
