We should dress Flanders and run the ball 30 times between him and Harris. Their linebackers and 3/4 of their dl don't look very good.

Eguavoen has looked decent when healthy but he hasn't been healthy much.

[Booch]

Apparently they 6 gamed Muamba...man they are screwed...no depth at all in that roster.

Riders depth chart is up, although I can't get on the twitters here to post it

 

Needless to say, it looks gross. Muamba isn't playing and they've only got 6 starting Canadians listed.

**** the rules!  I'm Chris Jones *****!

[wookie]

muamba is on the 6 game to save on the salary cap i guess

 

[GCn20]

Geez that's one B-rate depth chart. Yikes...

But if he comes back before six games, the salary still counts. They must think he's really hurt.

If the Bombers don’t win by 14, I’ll be concerned about their ability to compete against the rest of the teams in the west. If they win by 21, I’ll feel like they have a decent chance to beat Calgary next week.

It's been a while since the Bombers could blow people out and finish games.

God their NI depth is just gross .. makes one really appreciative of the job Walters has done to get us to this point.  Some might argue the quality of our top end talent but nobody (with a straight face) can question the flexibility we have.

I disagree... weird things happen in Regina... Swaggerville shoulda creamed that pathetic 2011 Riders team... and we all know what happened there... IMO leaving Regina with any win and a healthy roster would be the perfect start to the season...

Also Re: the depth chart... aren't they required to declare a certain number of Canadian starters on each side of the ball and maintain that throughout the game?

I'll be worried if we lose or it's uncomfortably close, it's week one for us so there could be some mistakes or things to iron out.

The impressive part is the bottom 1/3 they are really good at what they do. They have drafted really well in terms of bringing in guys that excel at special teams.

Who is the 7th NI starter? Is Jones going to get fined again for ignoring the ratio?

[Mark F]

Since we don't count preseason, how does anyone actually know anything about some of their new starters? Which is a lot of their team.

For instance, does anyone know anything about their D line? got one game to base it on.

I haven't heard of any of them.

Maybe they're decent. Find out tomorrow.

I know they are a chaotic mess, but who knows. I doubt our coachs take them lightly.

I think the Bombers will win, but it may not be the stomping we'd all like to see.

That was my thought too. Starting the fullback instead of one of American the SB's.

When they go five receivers I am sure bagg will go in.

Yes but you have to hit 100 Likes in one day before the Dislike button appears.

I don't think Bagg is healthy. I think he's in cause Muamba is out. I would be surprised if he can do very much out there.

can't imagine that sask might not be horrible? really?

Hope you're right.

[Floyd]

Hard to figure out their DIs... or anything here.  This is like a Tim Burke depth chart.

I think I'd probably play Kevin Francis at WIL to meet the ratio

This team could go off the rails pretty fast - esp when Carter has a meltdown around week 4.

Does that mean they will be playing both Bagg and Demski at the same time?

Sure I could imagine it, but what's the point in that?  I'd prefer to imagine a complete and total beatdown of the Riders.  I want to imagine Glenn slinking off the field after his third pick 6 with a tear slowly rolling down his cheek and muttering "it's only a game... it's only a game".  I want to imagine the Rider crowd booing lustily and having Jones standing at centre field shouting "BUT WERE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?"  I want to imagine Rod Peterson crumpled in a corner of the Rider broadcast booth, curled up in the fetal position and sobbing.  That's what I want to imagine.

And if this doesn't come to pass, then we'll deal with it later, and you know why?  Because I'd like to imagine I support my team.
