Week 8 Depth Chart
Could you elaborate? I don't understand.Some Argo we've never heard of has a huge game Because Derek Jones got a start? Possible... Because that seems to be what always happens to us. All the stars align for us to have what should be a rollover game and then we get destroyed by the present day Rocky Butler.

This idea occurred to me too ... Hinse may provide more than Goossen can right at this very moment. But I'm not sure. Toss up, probably a tougher decision than we think.

Week 8 Depth Chart
I'm hoping we've learned our lesson on Woods, and that he plays. We need his reliability on teams.I agree with you but that doesn't mean the coaching staff is thinking the same way we are.You've obviously seen more Stoudermire than I have, and it sounds like you're quite high on him. But O'Shea coming from the special teams pedigree he has, you would think that Woods' spot looks pretty secure right now. As Mike suggested, Unamba's probably a better 2-man reserve candidate than Woods.I also suggested Unamba (before Mike did) and I still think that's what will happen. Just throwing another option out there to discuss. lol is this a competition or something? I've noticed you do stuff like this a lot. No competition just stating the facts. I know some posters on here have a man-crush on you so they only read your posts. Kinda funny actually. Pretty sure nobody "only" reads my posts, they sure wouldn't get any value out of this forum by doing that. But hey, I'll be sure to check before sharing an opinion from now on, that way I can state you mentioned it first if applicable and you can have the meaningless recognition you seem to want.

Moving On -- Looking Ahead To Tuesday
I'm not as worried as some, but I'm still worried. That being said, a group of offensive weapons comprised of Mo Mann, Spencer Watt, Terrell Sinkfield, Steve Slaton, Darvin Adams and whoever Booby Gill is does not scare me. Neither does their offensive or defensive line and while we are beat up, we are healthy where it matters most - in the trenches and at quarterback.

Chad Johnson just can't help himself ...
Chad Johnson would probably be doing a lot better if he had Ricky Ray throwing him the football.

Expecting Unamba to take a seat.

Riders unveil their "Signature Look" jersey
Why? Because it's different? Because I think it will look ridiculous.

Riders unveil their "Signature Look" jersey
If Toronto (or Winnipeg, since apparently that's a possibility as well) goes with the logo on the front and the numbers on the shoulder ... well, I'll laugh my ass off.

Generally accurate. The sleeve detail is colored appropriately, but the pattern isn't like that. If what I've seen is the sleeve, that is.

Those trade proposals are bizarre at best. Swiston for Westerman ... now let's just be clear here - Westerman has low value. He's not going to sign an extension in all likelihood, he wants to try the NFL and his deal is up at the end of the season, so you're valuing him at whatever you think between 11-14 games of him is worth. Not a lot, but Swiston has zero value as a trade asset. He's on his second contract, so he's likely not as cheap as other players who can equal his production. Suber for Tim Brown ... there's win-win and then there are just make believe trades that make no sense. This is the latter. Suber is good, but where does he fit on a BC secondary? He's not replacing Ronnie Yell, that's for sure.

It's actually ... not bad. The green face mask is awful, but it's not as over the top as I thought it'd be.

The import OL baffles me too. The 3 import OL solution isn't a bad option. I get the idea behind it and a lot of teams (us included) can handle running that. But the imports need to be worth it. In some cases, we would've been better off with a pylon from Canadian Tire.

Wouldn't expect anybody back. Fingers crossed for Cotton.

GDT: Saskatchewan @ Winnipeg
Yeah, I'm not sure why Carl Fitzgerald wasn't more involved. Bellefeuille's gameplan doesn't always seem to match the opponent.

New Uniforms Coming In August!
Somebody on Twitter tweeted me a picture of the August 22 game pin. It's got a sneak peek of the jersey, sort of. They're gross looking. I'd post it but I don't know how from my phone.

Very interesting. Good call.

It might be something weird. Last I heard they were toying with a digital camo military themed look.

Practice report August 4
You can practice two weeks prior to being activated. I'd be shocked if they activated him early.

So what have we learned after week 6?
I said we were a well-coached 3-3 team... and that our QB has the 'it' factor. There's your two main differences. This is all true and not nearly as 'negative' as some posters want to make it out to be. Look at the roster - our talent level is very similar to last year... exception being the DBs and our kicker. and our receivers. and our offensive line. They're both making a world of difference. I always welcome the discussion but your opinion this time around ... Seems like you're outsmarting yourself a little.

Injury updates August 3
They'll be rotating all three. Absolute certainty.
