Noeller Posted January 30, 2023 Author Report Posted January 30, 2023 Broadcast sched is out. Again, the pre-season schedule is embarrassing. No LOLks or Stumps.....but both Riders games make the cut. Bombers get the HOME pre-season game (thanks so much.,........) because it's the Gappers away PS game.....

Right now it seems like kicking a wet sack of kittens. Them missing out on Desjarlais... yeah- they massively whiffed on that one. Inexcusable. It's not so much them missing out. He didn't want to play there. Simple as that. Craig Dickenson has created such a toxic locker room & keeps saying stupid things publicly that the really good free agents are just saying No Thanks to playing there. 10 hours ago, Noeller said: Broadcast sched is out.

Harris you'd think will definitely want to start. If MTL doesn't make a move, Ssk is his only option.
wbbfan Posted January 31, 2023 Report Posted January 31, 2023 18 hours ago, Booch said: Eli.....Thats his natural position and prior to his injury w a top 3 NCAA center prospect for the NFL.... Doubt it....Kolo is adequate at best....and has reached potential....gets out muscled and pushed around too much to be "the guy" He benefited much like Chunhg before he left here by great teamates..scheme and environment...and you have to remember...what is he..like 31..32 going into this yr?...career journeyman back up who landed in right situation here...he will be the depth 6th guy as he can play guard/center and only if he beats out Dobson which I dont see happening Kolo has done some thing really impressive. For a guy his age with as few reps as he came here with to become a solid back up who can step in in an emergency that’s pretty amazing. I sure couldn’t see him going further and becoming more than that. I’d be happy if he stuck around as depth but I’d be very worried if we went into 2023 with him as a starter for the year. Especially with gray Eli and Dobson around. We’ve had guys with the physical tools and nastiness like Dobson and Eli before. But never with the pedigree and polish as well. Guys like Rupert butcher work out hero not guys who had legit shots of becoming nfl players or first round picks. for me the two best case scenarios are Eli starts at centre and Dobson at guard with gray as 6th man or re sign couture with eli at guard. Gray is soo much better suited to being a rt in the long run. And better as the te in heavy set. BigBlueFanatic 1
Brandon Posted January 31, 2023 Report Posted January 31, 2023 I have a feeling that the Riders grab Caleb Evans and then watch the fans pretend like it's the steal of free agency. wbbfan 1
Noeller Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Posted January 31, 2023 a lot of people seem to think Tui Eli, with spot/back-up duty in 2021, and then completely out of the game in 2022, is going to just be able to walk in and start Day 1 in 2023..... that seems hard for me to believe. I could believe that he's kept in OL shape......I don't know if you can just get up to game speed that quickly.

For guys in the trenches, especially the OL, it's easy to get back into the game. Weight maintenance and cardio will be his biggest obstacles and he has 6 months to deal with that. 54 minutes ago, 17to85 said: He probably could've/should've been starting in 2021.

He must have been ahead of Gray because he was the one who got the start when Neuf went down in 2021 and he played at a very high level that game. If he doesn't go covidiot he is probably our starting LG right now. He is a very talented O lineman. As long as he isn't 50 cheeseburger overweight and no breath he can easily come in at centre for us, as this is his natural position and is the easiest OL position physically.

Kolankowski hadn't seen a whole lot of live action before Couture went down either though, and he did just fine. He didn't play for 2 years (2019-2020) then sat on the PR most of 2021 (back-up for 2 games at the end of the year). He backed-up Couture for 2 more games to start 2022 before the injury and the he's starting in game 3. I'm not even sure he saw the field once in those four games (teams or short yardage maybe?) but either way, he get much action between the end of 2018 and the start of 2022. Noeller 1

Yep, and the guy who loses out on the starting centre and 6th OL jobs on our team is still a better OL than anyone the RIders currently have on their roster.
