    So, do the Riders have a bus right outside the stadium, or is it parked on Pembina so that they don't look quite so desperate?

I guess the team just got tired of waiting for Simonise to actually realize his potential and would rather go to battle with a player like Schrott who doesn’t have the raw ability but they should at least be able to know what they can expect from him. 

By raw ability you mean height, right? Haha

Cutting a guy with a ton of talent for drops in one game is not the way I would go about things. It’s how you end up gifting another team 5 years of prime Adarius Bowman. And that was at least an issue with drops over an entire season. Not saying this will burn us for sure, but he was the only Canadian receiver of that body type and type of talent that we had.

Petermann and Schrot are only similar to Simonise in terms of their passport. He’s a pure jump ball wideout. No other Canadian replaces that, even if they become superior receivers. 

And I thought he was good on special teams.

I agree with you about gifting him to another team. I feel very conflicted about this cut. Disappointed too.

When did you ever see simonize out jump a dB and make a contested catch.  Not enough to stay on the team.

Well then, who cares if he’s a jump ball wideout?

Everybody’s disappointed when a high prospect bombs out, but that’s just what happened.

It’s like saying you’ll cut Matthews because Lawler played better in two preseason games. Even if it’s true, they serve completely different purposes. Neither Petermann or Schrot will ever be a great WR. They are pure slot guys. If Matthews or Adams go down, we literally have no one to replace either of them other than pushing Wolitarsky back outside. All the import guys who have performed well in camp are slots.
