  1. Actually Thorpe replaced Washington as a starter It started as Adams, Denmark, Dressler, Washington and Feoli...With Lankford as DI Lankford stayed in and took Dresslers starting position and Flanders took his DI spot. I myself would use Conteh and Banning as a rotation combo for Roc...and Take out Roc and one of Opo/Jfeffcoat and dress Poop and Thorpe....that would give us the best line-up Jones could come in and do just fine as the extra db in lieu of Roc
  2. Be a nail biter but i think our more experienced players, and all around better preparation by coaching will carry us to a win. Riders will be pumped, not used to our two back system and the quick tempo and will over commit and bite on a lot of stuff early on and we will eat up big chunks of yardage and get an early lead and Glenn will start to press and turnover city. All we need to do is start strong...a bad start and we are toast. I don't think their linebackers will have the answer to the 2 headed monster Also I think the fact that once we get to the 50 yard line that it's pretty much a given we are going to most likely get 3 points...so that will weigh on their defense and they make take some risks and get burned .
  3. I see Gray getting cut..and not certain about PR spot either...he got pushed around a lot tonight..and back into the pocket frequently.. .also took a dumb penalty. So not sure if they are going to invest in a couple years in him just to cut him in the end. Mulumba too hasn't done much..4th on depth chart..2 tackles all preseason and not much that has stood out. Definitely won't be rostered with his minimum salary way more than a just as good or slightly better younger guy. If he wants to play this year then I think this may be the late season addition finally. A plus is he plays on punt return and punt coverage teams as well as I think kickoffs so he could step right into special team duties and rotate in on defence..allowing us to use a di on Thorpe or Flanders and not have to sit one of them
  4. how many save the rider's telethons have you had compared to any other team in the league
  5. ]We would lose nothing in the return game having Flanders/Thorpe/Fogg returning kicks, but we do lose a lot on offence, and what we have been doing lately scheme wise with Thorpe out and Lankford as the extra reciever. Sure Dressler in effect replaces Thorpe roster/position wise, but he doesn't do what Thorpe does in our recent schemes, and Lankford isn't that reliable 2nd down conversion guy, or the guy that will get the tough yac yards which Thorpe is. We can use Adams, Denmark and Dressler to stretch field vertically and probably better than Lankford because those 3 are the better route runners. Looking like it is going to be Lankford over Thorpe, but I think that's the wrong decision...and who cares about the back-up kicker thing...we did fine without Lankford last year as that and there are sveral others on the roster who can in a pinch fill in if need be..
  6. what you just said totally exemplifies what goes on at Riderfans.com....except there is less name calling here and just out right pathetically baseless posts Passion for a person's allegiance to their team id great..and makes for good rivalries but some of whats said, and goes on there is just juvenile..I truly think most poster's there are teenager's or pre-teen because it's pretty ridiculous
  7. Totally forgot about this addition to neg list...possible roster spot as extra DB in lieu of the Roc and be able to have Dressler added to roster and not remove any of Thorpe/Flanders/Lankford/denmark
  8. That was an idea if they were wanting to keep Lankford on the gameday while adding Dressler...
  9. Randle gets screwed alot because he doesn't get the sexy stats because teams just stay away from him.
  10. Correct...but technically Flander's took Dresslers spot on the roster. I would for the LDC sit either Lankford and let Thorpe do his return role and see what we have there, or sit Santos-Knox for a game and see how that affects special teams. I think the addition of Dressler and his production far offsets Knox on the teams, tho he is good, but we have a lot of Canadian ST players who could fill in just fine. Also, Poop needs to be in as well...so either or of jeffcoat/Opo The other crazy idea maybe is to have Thorpe take on Flanders role and sit Flanders...Thorpe has running back experience and would garner same type of attention that Flanders would...possibly more because he is more of a threat catching coming from back field
  11. no....that's givin Carter too much credit...
  12. couple Rider's supporting this...just goes to show thew type of culture they are harvesting there, and the type of locker room they must have...sad
  13. your in last place in the west...won two games against 2 teams who shat their beds...You think that the nRider's have hit some kind of revelation or something but are basically the same team that sucked the previous 6=7 games You have games in hand against BC, but you have to win them and that only gives you a chance at the cross over..not sure why all the boasting and delusions of grandeur to be honest...plus you have Kevin Friggen Glenn..poster child for never getting it done..choking in big games and disappearing when it gets cold...good luck
  14. thats not a what if...that happened... regardless...riders have more wins than only the Ticats and Ottawa...nuff said...bottom of the barrell record wise, Canadian depth wise and right out of Riderfan poster's yaps...coach wise...and 2018 ain't looking no better with Glenn at the helm..because that's all that's going to be available to you guys...
  15. Mosaic is the newest...not the nicest. I have heard from players on several teams who still say IGF is louder, a nicer football stadium to play in and generally just better. Mosaic looks like a generic box style stadium with nothing unique or giving any type of home field advantage design wise. Also heard too, that stuff seems cheap in it..give it 3 years and major overhauls will be going on
  16. regina had Mcdonalds then?...I know high speed internet is relatively new
  17. your funny...you brought it up on who has beat who in the west...truth stings eh....ouch
  18. and 2 less wins...so what you have games in hand...you still need to win them for that to matter
  19. iF not for Johnny Sears brain fart...T.O most likely wins that game..that was in no way shape or form domination of any kind
  20. who have riders beaten in the west in general lately...last 3 years let alone the road?
  21. Yeah I guessover the last 2 seasons, ...18-9 record is all a result of lucky bounces and getting breaks...cmon man...thats laughable
  22. But we are talking about the modern CFL here...which attendance wise just reflects this and last year ...haha
  23. Not to mention in Wpg the city has it's own Junior B teir 2 hockey league within the city itself. As well as the MJHL similar to the SJHL but Winnipeg has several teams in that loop whereas I do not believe Regina has a SJHL team.
  24. Well take away the 2 games and we are 5-2..Sask 3-4. We won the head to head, but wasn't because of the missed field goal...the miss played a part in it, but that comes down to Wpg having a better FG kicker then..no?...sign of a better team. Factor in our first game of the year, after a week off...we should have lost..but didn't Montreal actually other than the T.O blowout have played tough games...heck beat CGY as well so they aren't really a free spot on the bingo card. Wpg didn't really get stomped by the Stamps either...leading at halftime, a stupid goal line penalty and a pick 6 combined with Nicholls worst game in Wpg doesn't really add up to a stomping.
