Don't discount Jones' scouting staff... I wouldn't be surprised if they have at least one quality rookie wr this year...

I could see them starting 3 Canadians also.  Chambers, Demski, Bagg.  Add Chiles and you only need one good rookie.  Maybe Jeremy Kelley is the guy.

Where you able to get on RiderFans? I've tried using 2 different browsers and have gotten warning messages about it being a deceptive site (Google) or a web forgery (Firefox). Weird.

I get the same thing.  If you click on the details button, it should give you the option to continue "visit this unsafe site".

Good player but has he ever played 18 games in a season?... Cory Watson-esque maybe....

Well we always new rider fans were a virus, this is just confirmation.

Kelley was used as a DB in their e-camp so I'm thinking he will not be the answer for them at receiver. More than likely if they are going to start a 3rd import it will be a rookie. Their current receiving corps looks below average imo, assuming that Chiles can play at a level near what he did before.  If Chiles is not the same receiver he was before, that is one uninspiring collective of receivers.

Would not be surprised if Newman was their starting safety

That's what happens when you put your server that hosts your site in an outhouse.

I heard that Marcus Henry was injured at mini-camp and now won't be invited to the Eskimos main camp.

Roosevelt will likely start for them.

Not cool what Price did ... The team should be able to recoup the bonus.

I'd understand if he got hurt during training camp and retired but to quit outright is dirty.

So if a team releases a player just before a bonus is due should they still have to pay it. If it's okay for a team to screw the player out of money, why is it "dirty" for a player to take the money and run?

Black stripes. Well, I guess as the drug policy is in place, Orridge can get on to more important things like shitting all over our footballs

Not sure why there seems to be the perception that change simply for the sake of change is something good or needed.

Trying to make it cool. Epic fail.

[Goalie]

The black stripes is apparently a players thing. Think BLM stated the players want the black stripes 

[iso_55]

I saw his tweet. It's apparently stitched on. A few years ago every CFL qb bitched when the footballs had white stripes stitched on. They complained that the football was more difficult to grip  & came off their throwing hand differently.

I agree, this has epic fail written all over it, kind of like the Signature Uniforms only this time it will effect play ...
