People here are going to be very surprised about just how good Jasper is. He makes our defense significantly better.

He fills the role that Labbe vacated very nicely.

He's a good young player. I don't see a single reason to avoid signing him.

One of our only Linemen that could block. This is a huge injury. Devin Tyler is just as bad if not worse than Picard and Greaves, I hope they give someone else a shot at that position.

1-game IR counts against the salary cap. If you want to use it for the purpose of stashing players all the power to you.

I'm positive the Riders first win comes on Labour Day.

Sadly, Drew Willy won't be playing anytime soon if at all again this season.

I agree he has improved from terrible to adequate. Still room for improvement at the position though. I see him as not as good as Henoc, but better than Labbe...somewhere in the middle of those two. Better than Labbe but worse than Henoc is quite a range.

That would be a huge improvement for us.

You mean like Kent Austin, Ron Lancaster, Jeff Garcia, Orlando Steinauer, Dave Dickenson, John Hufnagel, Mark Washington, Corey Chamblin... Which one of those guys STARTED as a Head Coach though?

Picard, Greaves/Neufeld and Stoud all need to be replaced immediately. If Goossen isn't good enough to warrant starting over Picard, then why even keep him around? I like Marve and think he'll come out with a strong game against Calgary.

Matt Nichols reminds me of Brohm, while Franklin looks like he has a good future in the league. I'd roll with Franklin at this point if I were the Esks.

Marve gives us a chance to win. I'm actually looking forward to Friday night now.

Mike Kelly.

I don't see the point in continuing to start Picard when we have a good young prospect sitting on the bench. It's time to admit that the Picard signing hasn't worked out and put Goossen in the starting lineup.

I'm not sure that I even want to waste my time coming out to watch Brian Brohm play.

Hurl, Bucknor, Picard and all of our import D-linemen have all had weak seasons.

Edmonton has to do everything in their power to swing a trade for Ricky Ray. They'd be the Grey Cup favorites with a competent QB.

Rider fans only uses one and I don't have many problems following the conversation there. Anywhere between 1-5 would be a big improvement.

And it clogs up the page and makes the conversations annoying and difficult to read.

Haven't picked a Bomber all year, so with my back against the wall I'll go with Cam Marshall

Bench Stoud and JFG. We'll have to start an extra Canadian(or only start 7 I guess) but at least we'll have an extra DI spot.

Why do you say that? Before he was drafted, he said it was his lifelong dream to play for the Bombers.You think the Riders 0-6 start to the season has made him fall in love with Regina? I've heard he was looking forward to playing and living elsewhere after spending his whole life here, at least for the first few years of his career anyways.Where did you hear this? Not from Nic personally, but from multiple Bisons(many of which he's good friends with). I'll take that truth over whatever he's said in the media.

I'm sure by this time of the year he'll have easily taken the job from Hurl.
