Fatty Liver

Great to see footage of Willy Miller, he was one of my all-time favourites. Incredible run by Mark Bragagnolo at 24:20, the proverbial bull in a china shop.

Hilarious, you were either very brave or very stupid. I remember the first time I saw a black person, I was 3 or 4 in our local church and I stood up on the pew to get a better look at his hair. Before I could reach out and touch it I was heaved under the pew by my dear Mother. Scarred for life.

From what I saw they were using him for blocking help on sweeps.

Or use it as a paddle to cross the mighty Wascana to visits the cuzins.

Looking forward to what Smith can do with Nichols at the helm, Willy's tendency was to throw to him when he was standing still, 3 yards away facing the wrong direction.

Not at all, it's brilliant marketing. Who cares how they came up with it.

I noticed him lining up at TE as early as the second game.

That's a pricey backup DE they have there, can't tell me they paid Capicciotti much less than $200,000 after failing to acquire Laurent in F.A.. They bragged as if they won the sweepstakes.

He looks like a MLB type, waiting for Bass to injury hisself.

Cross the fingers that these injuries don't sideline him for multiple months or a season in the future, it doesn't take much.

Looks like Knox may be falling down the depth chart if Burnette is dressing in front of him. Could also be that they want a look at Temple and Burnette is better than Knox on ST, I guess.

I suspect that having Dressler, Smith and Denmark in the lineup at the same time would cause most D's fits if used well and I hope we get to see that lineup somewhere down the line. It's like having 3 jitterbugs on one line in hockey, they may be small but they can be hard to defend against. Before the last game McDuffie was virtually invisible against the Als (2-18), so he can play ghost just as well as Denmark. I understand his role as the burner, let's just hope that LaPo makes frequent use of his break away speed.

You may be getting old but apparently you're less than half the age of "Old Bomber Fan".

Regardless CGY is a better over-all team, they don't tangle with the Ti-Cats again until week 15 so we'll see what happens.

Hard to choose between "hicks" or "morons"..... hmmm.....

He derives his income from the Riders and he works for the team broadcaster, close enough.

Who knows, maybe Willy is one of these people that can't perform well under pressure with somebody looking over their shoulder waiting to take their job. It certainly would rattle the confidence of most people. The starting job was basically his until it wasn't, perhaps it was conveyed to him clearly prior to the season that Nichols would take over if he couldn't produce W's. Before Nichols showed up he only had to worry about beating out the likes of Brohm and Marve.

Yah, I don't get this bit either, Pedersen is literally putting his PR position in jeopardy with these repeated attacks on the league. Can't imagine Bob Irving ever doing something so classless. All that has to happen is for these attacks to garner the attention of TSN or a league sponsor that Rod is "damaging the product" and word will come down from on high for the Riders to sever all relations with the moron. On that day Rod will be the saddest little boy in Regina.

It was so spectacularly bad, it needs to be highlighted.

You forgot about the faked punt.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Willy and Harris screw up like this once already this season? I believe it was before the half but they let the clock expire trying to squeeze in an extra running play when they were already well within FG range. If that is the case the OC the QB and the RB need to try to remember not to repeat past mistakes.

Yah, this has become a bit of a cycle in the last 2-3 years. Ray gets pulverized until he finally breaks and spends months recovering only to be injured shortly after he returns. Shame on Barker and Milanovich for not providing him with better protection when they've had years to build a solid team around him.

It took O'Shea over two years to finally pull Willy from a game to change things up, he would need another two years to think about trying it again.

Forgot to look out for Tennant, did anyone notice him, good or bad?

It worked a whole lot better when Owens and Durie were in their prime because of their YAC abilitiy. They haven't been able to replace either of those components imo.
