Booch

as sad as it is to say it...I would not be surprised in the least if Jones "asks" Penison to report back on formations etc on a walk through...or if he offered it up and Jones accepted. A walk through isn't intensive stuff where you see plays ran at speed...BUY you will see pre snap formations..personnel and basically the primary target for these formations, so when game time comes...you recognize it and adjust to it. Based on that other article where it was mentioned that Sask seemed to be in the T.O playbook and knew where the ball was going well things make sense and where smoke...there usually fire and being it was a Sask home game that slime ball could have been anywhere in that stadium having a ganders.. That organization under Jones has already been caught as cheaters and dancing the boundaries of professionalism, so to think they have stopped is foolish at best

thats not a new venture tho

Yeah he has a different way of throwing...he is truly an arm thrower and throws it like a dart...but with heat on it...Actually in a way is a good thing as it makes for a quick release and less chance of shoulder/throwing issues...also works well in close quarters and scrambling plays...his strength tho in my opinion is his mind..he's smart and actually can read, and adapt to what he see's...most rookies can't...especially ones who have been exposed to the 3 down game for basically just a month...and with only 2-3 weeks now with the starters

amazing a Rider fan actually sees things in a sane manner. He is a weapon on offense when he has his head in a game and is pandered too...but when not...well...we all know what a first class doucher and team cancer he can be. The rider's lack of depth in key areas is astounding tho and is bizarre to say the least...are really playing a dangerous game that can see that season implode quickly and ugly I doubt they win though tomorrow...too many questions still and the win against the ARGOS was not impressive and a good team would have blown them clear outta the stadium

comparing stats..players..games from different era's let alone different years is a waste of time. Analyze the now..and what was done in the moment and base a judgement. A Streveler playing the game in which Brock did in that era would most likely have run roughshod and won..but again...why even compare For as raw a rookie as a QB can be in any league I expected less...wanted more...and got a good indicator on what he is after a decent game. He didn't do anything dumb and try to force stuff that wasn't there...he actually was reading the defense and went to spots that his reads favored...He had the presence on the field that you want to see in a QB and shows that has ability to extend drives with his legs...and will get better with that aspect...and bet you see significant improvement in Mtl. Is he going to be a world beater this year in any games...most likely not...but then again, if his progression continues as it has since TC then he could possibly do that. is he going to make rookie errors..you bet....but he is going to do some things that will make people stand up and notice...most definitely...he already has Bottom line, with more experience he is going to give us a chance to win games when he is in, more than being just a placeholder where we are hanging on for dear life with no real legit reason to think otherwise. As well, once Nichols is back the team will have a very good "capable" QB who the team is confident and comfortable with. What more could you want...and I'd go as far to say that next year we will have the top QB tandem in the league

What's idiotic is Jones's continued obsession with putting Carter at DB for whatever reason...if they don't have anyone in house thats as good or better then that's pretty pathetic...He's not that good...got a gimme interception that had nothing to do with his play or skill and most other times was beat but QB didn't get the ball there....being in chase position then stumbling to the ground with the receiever when the pass falls out of reach isn't stellar play. Also, his tackling is wretched and the apparent "n hits" he had in the last game he played were result of ball carrier running through him...nothing more..nothing less...Why you would weaken your offence by removing him when your questionable QB needs all help he can get to put in an offensive guy who is a marginal DB ...is ..well questionable. He will get exposed soon enough and most likely gets hurt as well....and that would be good riddance if we didn't have to see him for a while if you ask me. The funny part of the hype train of this stupidity is there are so many guys in the league who could go both ways, and probably do it a lot better, but they are on teams with coaching staffs who aren't idiots and bring in proper talent to do the job.

Ha...I got banned basically for saying "your just mad because your monma made you bring up your dirty dishes from the basement" to a poster who was arguing a post I made ...one based on facts by the way. That sites a joke chalk full of hypocritical fans ...a good majority lacking a lot of even general knowledge...there's a few good ones but for the most part seems like a bunch of pre-adolescent punks who need to grow up a little and realize the world doesn't revolve around the Riders...They are the one I guess who only seen the sporadic success over the last 10-15 years or so, and didn't get to see the decades upon decades of futility...save the rider campaigns and being perennial doormats

I bet Nichols is starting game 4 this year...just a hunch

No problem...thats the best footage tho to view everything..schemes..busts..etc...In camp and practices teams will film it that way too so they can properly review everything. I know when I played we had a dedicated guy in each stadium filming it

yeah the was a total B.S play....to be honest if I was a coach I would have laid into him good for that stupidity and the chance to come away with zero points...

the general public doesn't have access to that....not sure for the reason but league won't release it to anyone, but if you have a person on the iside you could probably get some footage from the teams

HA!! Yup more or less

First start...first look at live "real" game speed....didn't panic...didn't do the usual dumb rookie mistakes...less than optimal conditions..first time with first team starters...he did pretty good...and next game will be better as things slow down, and he finds his way. What I liked is he didn't just lock onto his primary read/look and set himself up for being picked easily, or allow defense to limit gains..You can see him going through progressions and 2nd and 3rd looks...some QB's in this league who have been here a while still aren't doing that...so the future looks good with him...and you can't discount his wheels and running ability...he's also built different than most QB's as well...so he can take some hits...on his one run he rocked the one DB and he was partly stunned from the hit..

29-15...Argos

pretty much every game there is a bust...or two...and huge impact plays that make a guy look inept and horrible...thats football. The two biggest plays in my opinion..The 2 point convert and the Walker Td were plays that if were to happen exactly again would or could go in our favor...and back and forth it goes...**** happens Hardly an indicator after one game...the first game with all the regulars that the scheme and personnel are suspect...give it 3-4 games first

yeah...he will only get better...Any raw rookie who can come in...produce 3 td's...and a field goal in less than ideal weather conditions definitely has earned some time to grow..if god forbid late in year he has to come in for reps here and there he should be that much better. Also watching from sidelines as Nichols works this offence under real conditions is going to help him immensely too....and be nice to see him run that cheetah after a short yardage play...unlike Lefovour trying to do it. Streveler comes from a no huddle offence so he will be able to manage that quite well with his game rep experience he will have gained

Was just one of those games...our defense will be fine..especially the run defense We gave up 80 yards last night in a game where running you think would be what a team would want to do condition wise We ran for 137..so I guess the Edmonton defense is brutally as bad and they will have no hope in hell winning a Cup...

was 408 yards....not sure where u got your number...and the Willy comment?..like really...do you take glee in being more or less a tool?

and the constant pressure he put on Reilly too...I don't think Hurl ever got as close to a QB as many times in his career here as Biggie did in one game alone

We don't flub that field goal and Lankford doesn't fumble...we win regardless of the defense in that game...I hope that the last we see of Lankford for a while..Fogg and others can do just fine on returns

Yeah when have we may have landed a good one in Strev's Agreed too..there were not any real instances of receievers just roaming free and wide open, and the bigger plays we got beat on were just good plays..and if it were to play again we make the play...I don't think this showing is anything to be panicked about..but if Montreal and Hamilton eat us up on defense..then we have issues...too much talent here to not be successful. I think too...you add Leggett to the mix...we just became even better and have another vet who knows the inside and out stuff of a CFL defensive backfired and what and when to do things. I will say tho that the coaches need to get off the Lankford love train. What he offers on returns we can get elsewhere on roster...or PR and have a player who could contribute moe than just returns...and that brutal fumble too...he hangs on we most likey get points...keep Reilly off the field from scoring and win that game warts and all One thing I'd like to mention...That Bighill stuff at the goal line onn Reilly where he went over the top...can you ever see Hurl doing that???...hahaa

Some thoughts...Firstly no sense to jump to judgement of doom and gloom due to loss as well as there wouldn't have been a reverse jump to judgment if we won...you have to give it a game or two, and ones where you don't stop and go with delays 2 times. Reilly will do what he did again to other teams as he has before to us and others..thats why he is League MVP. The defense wasn't that bad...on the first long TD Randle had great coverage and actually got toe tangled when he went to make a play on ball and fell..you couldn't ask for better coverage and it was a great all around play...as well as the 2 point convert...Gaitor had great position and was a phenominal play and one 9 times out of 10 that receiver wouldn't have made...luck sometimes goes against you. The defense will be good and when settled in...not an issue..Biggie although he Hurl'd it on one play made several plays that last years MLB could never dream of..and Reilly was his slimy greasy self and several of his escapes would have been sacks against anyone else. Streveler played good all things considered...first game...new to CFL..conditions and delays and put us in a spot to win...he will get better so future there is looking good. He's smart and guaranteed he will not make same mistakes again...and really the pick Sherritt got was a horshoe up the butt play too...not so much a QB error...Wolitowski too if more sesoned would have came back for the ball a bit more to attack it as opposed to let it come to him. Also I am not one of them "what if" type of guys but if Nichols was in there we win handily...he rips apart that secondary and the defense is off the field probably at least 5 mins less...if not more, as we would have controlled the game more and kept Reilly off the field...not to mention if Medlock didn't eff up that one FG the game is most likely tied or we possibly win...lots of positives and negatives to take out of the game. Lets reserve judgement until after the next 2 games where I would be shocked we aren't sitting at 2-1

You have to remember as well that Chris Jones...HC who won a Grey Cup was basically handed the keys to that and in no way shape or form orchestrated that roster one bit..he inherited it. As for his duties in Sask he inherited a right steaming pile of crap and could not have made things worse..tho he almost did and tarnished his rep with his cheating ways. But it appears in yr 3 they are regressing..no top notch Canadians..and paltry depth behind what they have. He has neglected an O-line..your teams back bone and has drafted ..and recruited/negotiated contracts poorly to sustain success and any have to cut guys who could help them..because he is robbing Peter to pay Paul..and it is looking like Paul isn't that good anyway. So the dumping on they get is warranted I think..

As did I for this very reason

What you all think of this?...sooo weak up the middle on defense...and the back-ups even worse And on offense...that line looks horrendous...If I was Bridge or Collaros I'd be shaking in my cleats...Worst center in league...atguably worst Import Rt tackle in the league...2 raw rookie at LT and raw rookie at RG...and there back-up is a knicked Bladek who looked overmatched and dumbfounded last year, as well as this year...yikes I also don't see how that receiving corp is considered so vaunted... https://d3ham790trbkqy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/06/2018-Depth-Chart-Game-1-vs.-Toronto.pdf
