December 18, 20159 yr comment_175557 In nine days on the job, Jones has been many things; ruthless, quick, smart, and dare I say flawless. - @jamienye #CFL #Riders *barf* Really .. how much can someone **** up in 9 days on the job? Dear Santa, I would like 1 Saskatchewan RoughRiders season completely in the tank in 2016..... Sincerely, Noeller Sorry Noeller, even though for the most part you have been a pretty good boy this year, I will not be able to grant your wish this year. But as a gift that can still be enjoyed you are getting a Edmonton Eskimo season instead. Santa. Chris Jones can't fix the Riders Canadian content in one season. Nor can he fix Darian Durant. If he is not 100% or if the injuries negate his mobility - a big part of his game - the Riders will not be able to touch the Esks' 2015 record.
December 18, 20159 yr comment_175558 Chris Jones could sign Trevor Harris and cut Durant to solve one issue.
December 18, 20159 yr comment_175559 Chris Jones could sign Trevor Harris and cut Durant to solve one issue. Makes the most sense. Looks like a total house cleaning over there.
December 18, 20159 yr Author comment_175569 Damn it...woulda loved to have him come home again, but I suppose MOS wants to keep that hat on. Also, there's an awful lot of you putting some serious stock in Trevor Harris. I don't know that he's necessarily the saviour for Sask that some of you think he might be.

I agree and that's why I hope he ends up there! I also hope he gets that huge salary that his agent thinks he's worth.
December 18, 20159 yr comment_175589 Is Harris not more a product of the Argos system? He actually didn't look that good in the last part of the season and lost his starters role deservedly so ...

Also, there's an awful lot of you putting some serious stock in Trevor Harris. I don't know that he's necessarily the saviour for Sask that some of you think he might be. Not the savior but better than Price and Smith. Having said that, being in a Milanovich offence doesn't hurt.
December 18, 20159 yr comment_175607 Jones was able to win with Matt Nichols and an injured Mike Reilly, I'm sure he could win with Trevor Harris(who is a good QB in his own right).
December 18, 20159 yr Author comment_175608 Jones was able to win with Matt Nichols and an injured Mike Reilly, I'm sure he could win with Trevor Harris(who is a good QB in his own right). I'm not saying you're wrong, but there's a lot more to that Esks offense than just the QBs. That whole team was a lot deeper/more talented than the Riders currently are. I have no doubt Jones is going to do some serious house-cleaning and make a ton of changes, but still....long way to go.....
December 18, 20159 yr comment_175609 I remember the last Saviour in Sask had problems with the babysitter, hope Jones takes note of that

I have no doubt Jones is going to do some serious house-cleaning and make a ton of changes, but still....long way to go..... I forgot to mention the fact that they also won a game where Mike Reilly went 7/22 for 49 yards and a pick. If Jones can bring the Edmonton D to Saskatchewan, it doesn't really matter if they have an elite QB or not.

I have no doubt Jones is going to do some serious house-cleaning and make a ton of changes, but still....long way to go..... Sask. is going to have so many new bodies and quite a few without previous CFL experience so it will likely take their D at least half a season to jell. Best they can be this year is 8-8 imo.

December 18, 20159 yr comment_175644 8-8 are they boycotting 2 games? Well if they finish 8-10 or 10-8 or 9-9 still probably 3-4 more wins the Kumbaya sing along MOSS group in the Peg. But the group hugs will be better in the Peg!
December 18, 20159 yr comment_175646 It somewhat sickens me that people on this site, this bomber fan site, keep crapping on the bombers and yet at the same time, are just falling in love with the Riders? Perhaps it's time some of you change your pics to rider colors. Seriously, Riders this, Riders will be awesome, Riders, Riders, Riders... Go join the rider site if you want to constantly talk about them.
December 18, 20159 yr comment_175662 I don't really care what Sask record is. What is clearly more important is that Wpg has a better record then Sask. If not that should be the death nail for the current regime.
December 19, 20159 yr comment_175672 The reason people are impressed with Sask is that they canned a loser and signed a proven winner. They cut fat and appear to be making big moves. We stay put, hired a proven loser and have not made any big changes.
December 19, 20159 yr comment_175682 We fired our OC. That's a pretty big move. With a half decent O last year, we win more games. Not sure why people think the bombers are that far away from competing.. give them a competent O and they will surprise some people. They have some talent here.
December 19, 20159 yr comment_175688 Go join the rider site if you want to constantly talk about them.And now would be a good time to join. They might not even notice you for awhile, they're just too pumped.I haven't seen them this excited since Uncle Ned taught them they could cut two holes in the outhouse..
