    It's been proven, in this league, that if you don't have a good backup....

    The Bombers really need to kick the Riders ass sideways in their first game in the new park to set the tone for the season and send their fans off on the crazy train.  Nothing else matters.

    Riders haven't lost yet so their fans feel emboldened to venture out of their own little bubble. Won't have to wait long for them to scurry back into their holes.

Riderfans spinning it that Carteri was fired because he was feeding the CFL info about Jones illegal activities. They just can't see what is right in front of their faces.

This is almost laughable, there were so many eyes on Jones misdeeds it would be impossible to keep them secret.   Jones fails to understand that the players are members of a union and if they see questionable activities that will have a detrimental effect on their position as individual players or a group one of them is surely going to report it.

depends on the conditional pick. If that ends up the riders first...

The only way that is possible (I'm sure it probably isn't in this case) is if Edem ends up being a league all-star and the Riders win the cup ... or something to that effect... in which case, that would make it an even better trade for the Riders...

Stamps are losing OL to retirement at almost Rider-like pace.  Lavoie & Craighead are both 1st round picks who retired at age 25 within 16 months of each other. You can also add in Tsoumpas who retired early a few years ago.  Huff must have a few horseshoes wedged somewhere because it hasn't really seemed to affect them, we'll see how long that lasts.

    ?‍?Edmonton Eskimos have a new OC this year in Carson Walch.

     A former All-American running back, returner and receiver at Winona State back in the late ’90s, Walch joined Jason Maas’ staff for his second Canadian Football League stint in 2016 as the receivers coach and passing game coordinator. 

    This off-season, Walch has taken over Maas’ role as the OC. - Jeff Krever CFL.ca

    ?‍?This isn't big time news, other than Maas relinquishing those duties, but Walch uses a 'grading' system. 

    Walch gives his receivers grade sheets after every game and practice. 

    No. 4 (Bowman) remembers going off for 185 yards on 10 catches in a win over Winnipeg last season, then receiving a 76 — a C+ by the American grading system. 

    "He’s disciplined, he’s organized, a great teacher, a communicator,” said Maas, entering his second season as a head coach. “He is fiery and he gets people’s attention when he speaks.” 

    Maas will still have plenty of say in the Eskimos’ offence this year but Walch will assume play-calling duties. For Maas, a former CFL quarterback who is familiar with climbing the ranks from coaching receivers and quarterbacks to becoming an offensive coordinator, calling plays is critical to the job. 

    Carson, he ain’t gonna yell at you. He’s going to hand you the paper and if you ask him a question, he’s going to tell you why. But I like him a lot. Having coaches like that is how you make it to the championship. - Bowman

    ?‍?Personally, I give that system of grading players, an EE.
