Collaros behind a line with a LT and G starting for the first time has to be a cause for concern. Throw in a weak C and RT and well...

Hypothetically maybe Lapo feels Streveler and his running ability combined with Harris, Augustine and Demski gives the club an offensive look that can really exploit the Eskimos D.

So the Riders may start three NIs on the OL (Labbate/Clark/Bladek) on the OL, a DL (Evans) a Safety (Edem or MOB), a linebacker (Hurl or Judge) and then platoon a spot between Messam at RB and a receiver. Thing is all of their NI receivers have little experience (42 career receptions between Bailey, Radford and Stanford). They have no Ni depth on the OL (the three guys I named are the only 3 NI OL on the roster), JSJ is on the 6 game IR and they have 2018 5th round pick Matthieu Breton on the PR. No national RB behind Messam (They could spell him with FB Spencer Moore).

Proportional Representation leads to coalition governments. BC has an NDP government that exists due to support from 3 Green Party members. BC's premier is making many of his decisions in order to keep the support of 3 members so he can stay in power. Thus what is happening in BC is similar to proportional representation in that such systems often led to decisions being made to satisfy the demands of small fringe parties rather than the people as a whole.

Actually we don't. The mess in BC which helped led to all of us buying a pipeline is the kind of issues you get when you have PR.

Would love to know why FMB was cut. Agree with JBR on being surprised we kept so many dbs.

I have to wonder how much bonus $ Muamba+Bond+Bagg+Grant+Owens cost the Riders?

Well scouting better would be a start. I'd honestly have gone with one of the young challengers myself. At least there is upside. Plus honestly Lankford's returns are a product of scheme in my opinion. McDuffie was acutally 3.2 YPR better in 2016 than Lankford but magically regressed last year in Ottawa.

How many imports take 4 years to "progress" as a receiver? Not an elite returner either.

I'd be a little worried to be truthful about that.

I'm going to start by saying I am pissed off we kept a bum like Lankford over actual receivers. He is a terrible receiver and frankly if you don't want to put a guy on your roster at season's end when you have injured receivers and you put a guy on ahead of him that you release before camp, well come on. Surprised we cut Randle and Montgomery.

Jeff Hamilton tweeted White and Seisey are cut and gone gone. Too bad, liked White.

Their fans claim this just shows how deep their receiving corps is.

Looking at those cuts, you have to wonder how bad the Riders SMS status is.

Who the heck are the Riders 7 starting NIS? Labbatte, Clark, Edem, Hurl, Bailey, Evans, Messam? Bagg, Grant and Owens cut at receiver apparently.

So they cut Bagg and Harty has a serious injury, does that not make Devon Bailey their starting NI WR?

So does Montgomery make the AR? PR or do we stash him on the 1 game IR? Can we keep Randle, White and Thompkins around? Does Lankford survive again despite being a so so receiver and an average returner? FMB on the AR or PR?

Should you be worried that your starting OL looked poor against our backup DL?

No way in the world Lankford makes the play that White did last week.

You have got to like Peterman. I didn't think you were allowed to grab a guy by his legs and ass who is trying to recover a fumble because that's what it looked like Peters did. Given the talent, upside and in some case experience that you have in Randle, White, Thompkins etc, please tell me they're not keeping Lankford.

Bennett made a nice play and so did Randle, good job coming back and adjusting to the throw.

How is that possible with a genius like Chris Jones running the show?

Montgomery on the PR to begin the season? Peterman has to be on the active roster imo. I still don't like Lankford.

Naw, two firsts, 2 starters and 2 players to be named later.

Looking forward to seeing Thompkins and Randle.
