I wouldn't put too much emphasis on what they are classified as on the depth chart..Lapo moves guys all over, and part of the key to our schemes is all the guys are to know, and have plays made from multiple positions...

Lawler though skill set and body type wise would be redundant as well with Adams..Woli and Matthews..so I guess it's a pick your poison type of situation...I wouldn't want to have Demski relied on for returns if our dedicated returner went down...risk of injury and ball security if you ask me Whitehead also offers that super unknown right now and a huge threat to defenses...so we need to try and groom that.

Good looking depth chart..Whitehead is the obvious choice right now over Lawler with Matthews back..but we need to involve him and utilze what he can do, or else whats the point of him being in the lineup. I like the addition of Rios...he looked good and has size and also has been worked at Sam and all the backfield spots, so with him, Fenner, Gaitor and Alexander we have a lot of back field flexibility

who cares...they both can discuss whats going on with their personal anecdotes and goofy things they say...almost unfiltered..I could watch that for days

they need to put Dunnigan and Walby together as a play by play tandem..that would be just golden and the things that they would say would be priceless....for sure would boost TV ratings

nope..we were always told/taught to lead with our forehead straight through a guys chin/facemask

yeah...was a lot of sneaky stuff back in day..was a tougher game then with lots of stuff happening that bordered on criminal...my one defensive coordinator told us that if we had to hurdle over a guy on the ground to get to a ball carrier we were to either kick him in the ribs or step on a hand..let em know your there he would say hahahaha..

It was more an issue that he was cut/bleeding and needed that to be taken care of..most likely from a helmet buckle.. Interesting story.....I know of players when I played who would shave/file the edges of the metal strap buckles on helmets to a knife like edge...to cause cuts on opposing players..

Been reported before that someone else has said if you wanted anyone as backup in a dark alley it would be him as well.. or something along those lines

they look at it as he does short yardage and goaline packages...so potential to score several TD's a game

yeah there's no doubt...Oshea just being...Oshea hahahaha

what Harris has done against Montreal...and BC (WHO GUTTED THEIR DEFENSE) means not too much in my opinion...lets see what he can do against what should be a top 2 defense in the league, with some game film to be studied..

I'd say 3 now...with a crap QB and offence you can expect a game..maybe two like that where the offense clicks and you pound out a win...but since that supposed "vaunted" defense played as to what they are...they didn't get the win...we'll see if the T.O game on the weekend was an abberation due to rust and no real game action to date...if they come out with a chip on their shoulder and beat the Rider's...man things gonna get ugly out there....

A harris

he seems overwhelmed and almost stunned...to be honest

so does that make the Riders the worst of the bad teams..seeing as you lost to both...all excuses aside, good teams don't lose due to excuses Shivers wasn't on the field though making plays...your DB's were being beat repeatedly, and the d-line didn't get any sustained pressure or push so maybe it's overated expectations of personnel, or just not that good of personnel

he's fine tuning his "stats" agenda...and how we should not be happy with 185 yards passing , 3Td's and power running game allowing us to win at a .700 clip over the past 3 years, as opposed to 300+ yards and fancy numbers...but still a loss Trying to figure out how to say that now we should not be so content to have that..and a stout defense so that when we put up 30+ points and win that it is only because our defense got lucky or something..and that if we are happy about being solid but not spectacular in all facets that it doesn't mean diddly...or something along those lines...forgetting that winning football games takes 3 facets of the game...2 of which right sucked for them last night on probably the only night this year they ring up numbers like that on offence

yeah...but hasn't he been coaching in the league for what now..pushing 20 years, doesn't take a lot to know the game..intricacies..in game situ type calls/adjustment...that's a poor excuse really for any new HC other than one like say Mike Sherman who had zero canadian football experience whatsoever

you also have to remembe our "back-up" accounted for 21 additional TD's...more than I think your QB's combined..6 or so of which were a result of his starts, but the remainder were direct result of Nichols putting us in that spot to score...how many additinal TD's did ZC set the Riders up for?...ummm...me thinks...zero

Michah Johnson is a beast when teams have to contend to other guys along the line, but when he has to do all the slugging himself, and be a difference maker/play maker ala Jefferson...well you see the results...Hughes is garbage and runs his yap more than makes plays now..and Zack Evans is highly over-rated..and paid..and I doubt Henry even makes rotation on any other team..

I think Marshall is way overrated anyway..got some gift picks last yr one of which ..or was it 2 resulting in a pick 6...and that got Rider Nation singing the second coming of Rod Hill. He is a converted QB for gawds sake and gets beat more often then not on double moves and pump fakes...the early success was worst thing to happen to him as he now thinks he can do it every time and teams have the 411 on his play now...wasn't he the one burned in the Hammer too on the BANKS score...and cutting that Butler for Means...yeah that was well thought out...

A few more losses pile up..watch for imploding all over the roster

0-2...hot mess for sure...zero depth and inflated offensive numbers...really for both teams due to piss poor defenses though Davis did show some nice touch. That close to 500k for 2 dlinemen is sure paying off..said all along Johnson would be a non factor with no supporting cast..and that 180k Evan's is slow and useless too. Fartado had what I expected will happen this yr..one to two games like that where you think they would win (but that true defense showed up so no win)..he'll have one to 2 with less than 150 yards and multiple picks..and a bunch with middle of road stats.. and field goals..rider faithfull will get false hope with this game..but I bet it's a one off...and if not for Chris Randle they would have got smoked..I see why bomber management cut him loose. Toronto has a way better defense and next week I bet they shut the riders right down and Walker and Green go off on those weak dbs who are getting no pressure from up front.. Interesting game though..i thought Ottawa defense would be better with all the returnees. And riders vaunted defense? Gimme a break...

That coaching staff at times on sidelines look stunned when cameras show them

got to remember too..Ottawa returned 10 starters on their defense this year..thats huge and they also limited BLM to under 300 yards, and 1 TD....WHAT do you think they will do..at home to Sask water gun offence
