Riders are planning on starting a Canadian safety but they don't have any good players there so that may explain it. And apparently 3 years in and Vonk was still getting his ass kicked in training camp every day.

June 7, 20178 yr comment_266869 Later next week, someone by the name of Custin Jox will be added to their roster...
June 7, 20178 yr comment_266870 Same thoughts I have, and no knock on Gainey but he would be hard pressed to make any secondary in the West as a starter. Any fresh new halfbacks they start and the lack of familiarity with each other, not to mention the CFL game is gonna hurt them big time early on. The motion, extra man, the reference points and angles on the feild, mixed in with seeing new wrinkles from opponents they have never faced happening at game speed and they are going to give up gobs of yards, and knowing how Jones operates he will interchange, remove, bring in new guys over and over with a good chance nothing gets fixed ...u gotta let em grow and gel Remember years back when BC had Marsh, Banks and that crew all new and fresh and they were getting lit up left right and center..well they grew together and gelled and became a great backfield

The game that could have been a disaster turned the season around and started the run.

DB is one area you need some continuity. Seems they have a revolving door at most positions there. That is an issue. Edam was not a good safety for us last year. Out of position, dropped sure picks, always trying for a big hit and not succeeding instead of playing the ball/man. The re-build in Sasky continues I guess. I'm still trying to get my head around Vince Young. Why on God's green earth......?? Edited June 7, 20178 yr by lyin' guy

June 7, 20178 yr comment_266908 I believe Hecht is the current starting Rider safety followed by Edem.
June 8, 20178 yr comment_266970 Hodge podge in HAMs secondary last year proved crippling. Opposition OCs sniff out weaknesses pretty quick. Riders will be feasted on .

I kind of feel like he'll go for a higher price tag than we'd be interested in, but I'd be prepared to give up a third rounder for him I think. Riders got him with a 5th rounder. Pretty surprised the cost was that low. Edited June 8, 20178 yr by bigg jay added tweet
June 8, 20178 yr comment_267020 maybe most teams talked with scouts and their people in the know/connections and determined he wasn't worth it...time will tell

June 8, 20178 yr comment_267022 Yeah the way he was being talked up, I figured he'd be generating a lot more interest.
