I don't know that we ever had him at Tackle, did we?? But I remember that the book on him was always that his footwork isn't good enough to play T...great guard tho. Ultimate brawler.

My mom went into the bomber store years ago to buy me a jersey and Moreno was in there.  She met him and said he was a good looking fella so she bought me his jersey.  So pretty much I got his jersey

Didn't we try that here and it went not so swell?

The riders tried it and it failed miserably. Hardrick struggled at guard early on before bond came onto the roster at guard and hardrick slid over.

The Bombers 100% tried Bond at T. He held his own, if not excelled. Nothing he did in Regina worked well. He just didn't fit that system for whatever reason. But the guy can 100% play Tackle.

Well now I'm more confused

No Paddy Neufeld started that year as RT then got hurt Hardrick moved to RT and then Bond came into line up to play LG.

Yep. 

There was talk about him "just being a guard" prior to the end of the season and bond said he could do both, and had played some T in the past but never here.

Sale of Alouettes becoming a fiasco.  Dragon's Den guy now saying he's interested, wants Quebecois GM/Coaching Staff, going to sell half his share in the team to fans to try to fund a stadium.

Which one? oleary?

Derek Dennis struggled with the Riders as well. He was an all star tackle with the Stamps in 2016 & 2018.

He started a bunch of games for the Riders in 2017 & was by far their worst OL. He eventually ended up back in Calgary where he became a West DivisionAll Star for the second time last season.  If I was a Rider fan I'd be wondering what was going on.

They fixed one thing and ruined another... the helmets are nice by why the orange pants... just go black, would look sooo much slicker...

Makes you wonder how Adidas got it right with our uniforms. It's obviously very hard for these companies.

Why don't these companies use focus groups? STH's of different ages to get their feedback before they release their team's new uniforms. They obviously need help to get things right & knowledgeable fans would help in that process. Instead of some fashion designer who doesn't know the difference between football & soccer.

Well... I hate to point it out - but they probably did.

We're not exactly the age-appropriate target market ha...
