They were that good. But Hamilton also used a lot of extra blockers during the regular season giving them the illusion of a good oline....they had the MOOL out there and without help he was embarrassed time and time again.

I think he was talking about the GC games specifically

He's a DE/DT

Talent around him doesn't help

I'm in row two upper deck and the view is a bit obstructed. Would be pissed if I was in row 1. And the biggest thing is, it just wasn't necessary. They didn't need to make those signs any bigger than they were.

And it's easier to keep contain when the punter is putting it high and on the sidelines.

Kick coverage has been better largely because of his punting. Average doesn't tell the whole story at all.

Yeah but once I heard they had done that all year it kinda lost the "**** YOU" aspect of it. lol Bombers broke Bo and Dane that year. Neither were ever the same.

Once I heard they were practicing inside during the week....I had a good feeling. I didn't really celebrate until there was less than 1 minute on the clock though.

This isn't a test of our offense at all. Outside of the QBs how many starters are playing? 1 or 2?

I'm hoping the starting LB crew for tomorrow looks good.

That is likely to be it for his career I'd imagine.

That I would

And looks like they have lost him this season too. Went down with what looks to be a serious non contact injury.

Very true. My only complaint would be I have yet to see anyone say they actually like the way the draft is done on TSN. And not just this year, but going back years now. It's always boring and always the same.

Every level of our Defense has me a bit concerned honestly. Mostly due to injury. Not at all worried about the O. Cgy had bad luck with injury last year. Didn't they start literally dozens of DBs last year? Lol. Didn't help they had no real threats at Wr outside of Begelton either. It happens, but I expect them to be better.

Didn't he return a punt for a TD in the west final? I agree it took a bit for him to get up to game speed after he returned. But by playoffs I thought he was fine.

I hear what you're saying and completely agree. 3 rounds took more than 2 hours. In a league with only 9 teams, that's boarding on torture lol. TSN extended it and made it incredibly boring. It was essentially unwatchable for any casual fan. There was absolutely nothing condensed about it and that wasn't at the discretion of football ops.

to be fair there's no chance I'd watch the entire draft with the way they run it. It'd be a 10hr show

If Mace is the right guy, it'll be at least another year to get the ship corrected. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Riders break out fast and fade as the year goes on.

Agreed. Ball control hasn't been something VA has been able to do. Adding to that, I don't think they have the WR to make those big plays anymore.

I'm not sold on their OL improving in the run game or their offense to be as high powered as it was last year allowing them to focus on running. The media is hyping them up, but IMO they lost more talent than they gained on O. And they're hoping VA can continue to improve AND stay healthy. Cottoy/Emulis/Hollins doesn't worry me in the least.

Not gonna bother with records....but WPG Cgy EDM Ssk BC East MTL Ott TO Ham

They did the same thing last year. Im not concerned. The hype for Hamilton is only overshadowed by the hype for BC. Both make no sense to me.

They still gotta stop it.
