generally in CFL a DT and or NT will in effect draw 2 guys in blocking....it's just how things are schemed a lot...so saying Marino was very effective is a bit of a stretch...You can get same kind of attention and production from pretty much any interior guy...minus the penalties' and stupidity, and all the distractions that go with it. Now if he was blowing plays up behind line of scrimmage constantly, pushing lineman into QB..piling up sacks and or tackles....it would be a different story....but he wasnt. Are they weaker tho due to this...likely, as the team environment there now has a huge dent in it, and other losers there are now gonna play a bit less agressively, for fear of being next....and slap that right on CD for not dealing with all the BS earlier...and by earlier I mean last yr already

I think he saying most outstanding special team player

It is a start to try and garner some respectability...still a big uphill battle there tho

Highly doubt it was league driven...pretty much certain the league cant...or wont tell you that you have to cut a guy The Riders are scrambling big time and I think this was the sacrificial lamb to try and create the illusion that they have things under control and are doing things to right the ship..nothing more...and vet contracts being garuanteed...well Marino's likely piddly entry level contract wont impact them as much as the higher paid idiots like ****** William's.. Marshall...Edam...was an attempt to "send a message" as cheaply and as cowardly as possible...but really not changing anything there.

Yeah...clowns...if he such a beast his stats sure dont reflect it...

Well a better punishment would have been to make him stay in Regina.. But nobody will be picking him up...that's just delusional idiots there on RF thinking that...one down..bout a good 3 more to go there now...then send mouth breather Dicklesson packing to start fresh there

Wow....I'm shocked to be honest

yyup...no attitude or arrogance ere....maybe some self criticism and need/desire to get better...be better, and not let your brothers down...this team....well really this organization is wired differently than u usually see...prob wont see other than here...hence the 28-4 record since 2019...2 cups...and a good shot to be in our 3rd straight....It's all about who and what you bring into the building here that sets the tone...took a good 3 years to build it...but since then it's just been getting more solid as we roll along

Yup...regardless of the players involved would be..and should be flagged...the only difference with your scenario is Fajardo would have rolled around and mad eit seem like he was shot....limped away...and then would have whined about it post game

toss up between him and Nichols

same with the phantom WJ rouging the passer

yeah he did absolutely nothing last year of note...yet they all chimed in that he was a "must" sign....and his production this year when he is able to play...has been way below his pay....not to mention the penalties..suspensions and the cancer he brings

If he wants it...I can see him sliding into a DB coach role here when he decides to hang em up

I wonder if Duke would have become such an epic loser if he had signed elsewhere?....almost thinking probably not....prob just a standard loser

yup.....pretty much....and yup....been soooo entertaining

and how he gets guys lined up right...makes sure they know assignment....we are missing that big time....plus his presence out there is also in back of the minds of receiver's....there hasn't been as much trepidation going through the middle like yrs past...but it's coming

yup....and when u bring in idiots....who are self proclaimed "leaders"...well u get what we see I still think they won more than they should of due to smoke and mirrors....fluke luck, and some favorable things that always seemed to flop in their laps...

but gosh they played hard did he ever have it?....and just looking at him on sidelines he just looks totally stunned

yeah the Mtl game was an odd one...burn out ans nagging nicks did us in I think.....and even then....if Leggs hits that totally makeable FG we still would have won....but looking back glad we lost that one, as going deep into the season undefeated may have influenced us to do things and play guys where it may have bit us in ass with a bad injury to the wrong guy

yeah...what a bloody moron....how is that support....it's if anything just enabling your whiners to keep whining, instead of putting nose to grindstone and be better for your team

yeah....cant see him staying hopefully tho they can retain Marshall...Edam...their oline..The Vaj...Duke

U also have to factor in our defensive backfield and to lesser extent WIL has been a revolving door due to injuries all year long....thats huge...if and when we can get our guys all back, or get some back and solidify a spot with a new guy...and not have to replace them we will be just fine.....tho I still think we need a DT that garners a constant double team...we are lacking there

lawrence is good...and a difference maker....and he's moreso tarnished from dumb decisions and a bit of a reckless style of play...that being said he is not I dont think trying to inflict an injury, or has mental issues...other than he yaps incessantly..tho we have guys who do too...Marino is a whole diff level of P.O.S

I dunno.....teams still rarely score TD's...we giving up less than 20 a game....there def is a method to our madness...I'm not too concerned...if we can put up a minimum of 20...25 points a game...9 times outta 10 we gonna win...anything more basically a guaranteed win yup....If we could find a killer Wil...and a true middle of the dline freak....we'd be set...

almost certain of it....be interesting if BA gets reps in practice...maybe he gets eased back in too....Assuming Souleymane slots in for Hansen...be logical choice to contribute on teams moreso than the Machino just standing there all game yup...they got to see our base what we been doing most of the year...I expect them to get a good dose of "wtf ???" and have them s\running in circles
