Yea...that's what I meant. Thanks for clarifying. Of course at times he got more. Shouldn't have.

Why did you leave one kicking around somewhere?

Sorry, tried to get on a soapbox but I was told you and Mike have it rented out until at least Friday. Not arguing the roster build, just the statement that Bighill on = Woods off. Not true. All the IMPS on the DC being on is why Woods is off. Semantics, I know, but my argument actually backs up your point.

Yes, but who that import is has nothing to do with Bighill. It is therefore not a direct exchange really. It is one guy coming on, one guy going off and the coaches picking one of 25 imports to sit. I guess I'm splitting hairs but Bighill on does not automatically equate to Woods sitting. That was a coaching decision based on roster need/want throughout the lineup. I am sure the coaches discussed a few guys potentially coming off before landing on Woods. By that reasoning you could say Player X staying on is why Woods is off, or Player Z.

Because I have built rosters before I guess. If they wanted both on they would have both on. It isn't hard to do. Biggie coming on was only part of the equation on Woods. The other part of the equation is that they decided to keep all the IMPs on the roster before him as well. One guy coming on, equates to one guy going off, who that turns out to be is the guy on the roster deemed most expendable. Didn't have to be Woods, but it was.

Yep...Fatboi, at no point in is career, was ever capable of more than 25% reps per game.

Yea....we know damn well that Hardrick was playing on half a leg last season, Neufeld as well. Also, last year just like last year we would have been ripe for the plucking off the PR if we didn't protect guys. Not sure how you come to that conclusion? Biggie was one roster transaction, Woods another. If they wanted to dress Woods and Biggie they could have done so.

I absolutely want the same thing for Strev, however, I wanted rolled out more and more in progressions as the season goes on.

Having a 7th OL is an almost guarantee that someone else on the OL roster was a coin flip health wise.

I think we are looking good on offence for a while. Yea get some OL but particularly DL in the draft and refresh the LBs. It's not really a big rebuild needed. We are good at receiver, RB, and if Strev shows improvement at QB. We are pretty good at OL, just need a stud OT for Bryant when he goes. Secondary is refreshed with the exception of Alexander who plays a pretty easy position to replace. LBs will need a reboot and possibly depending on Garbutt etc DE.

Fair enough. It's bound to happen I suppose. Part of me hopes we finish 2nd in the West so that management knows we are not infallible despite still playing like warriors and squeaking out another Grey Cup win.

They aren't ending, although they almost convinced just by sheer volume of posts. We laid an egg to open the season but I would be shocked if we are not in the mix for another division title. Just a real sloppy effort last week stemming from some poor training camp decisions.

They do need to build a culture there though, so he can be helpful in that regard.

I can't wait for the win this weekend. We need it around here.

Rigmaiden was a massive blow for sure. We are actually quite lucky we even had him for a couple years because of clash of personalities in BC.

Receivers I disagree with, and returners? How would we know? We haven't, in earnest, been looking for one since we scooped up Grant.

How so? Not saying you are right or wrong, but what have they not done that leads you to this conclusion?

I didn't expect you would get the point. 90% of your posts stem from a horribly inaccurate interpretation of another members post.

No..that's karma...prove me wrong..I'll wait. Point being that because you don't believe in it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist and even if it doesn't and someone still thinks it does, why try over rule their belief in what goes around comes around. More, not less, people should be adhering to that mantra.

Pretty remote chance of him doing that.

They were ahead of us early last season too.

And Edmonton snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Those poor Elk fans. Even when their team looks better than the opposition...

True..the difference is that Winnipeg played far below their capability and the Riders are playing to their's.

Seems like a pretty unproven group of receivers. Maybe they are good? Maybe they are crap? I am not sure how anyone could come to any kind of opinion on them right now because no one knows who the hell they are really. ONE receiver out of this group exceeded 700 yards last year...barely.

Most teams don't have any NATs capable of starting in the secondary. If they do they will almost always be playing field corner, or safety. That's just the facts. The field corner is the hardest/longest throw to make for a QB and most often is where teams lineup there 5th receiver. There is more time to react for the DBs. The hashmarks moving in made it marginally tougher for DBs but it still allows the most margin for error for any of the DB positions.
