Yup, he's a sticker and a great pursuit guy. He and Morgan might evolve into the best 1-2 punch in the league.I like Mr. Anderson

Agreed- looks like he came unhinged.I actually wonder about his general well being. The man was in the liquid pretty heavy in Regina and then out of pro ball after the NFL experiment. And the implosion now in Edmonton Part Deux, it makes you wonder if he has spiralled somewhat. I hope he’s well.
He’s definitely not the D Guru he started out as.
My memory may fail me, but didn’t he have a similar recruiting failure and the same revolving door D line in Sask towards the end of his tenure? Maybe I’m confusing it with JOD and his inability to build an O line.Agreed- looks he came unhinged.
No D Guru that's for sure. When you go 2.5 seasons with practically no stunts or blitzes and a 3 or 4 man rush then what do you need a "defensive genius" for?
Pressure trumps rookie D-back coverage by a country mile but how do you get pressure with a 3 man rush on a D-line that is a revolving door???
I like your expression "in the liquid"--never heard that one before.
I'm afraid my knowledge of the Riders is limited. I bleed Green & Gold and that's about it.My memory may fail me, but didn’t he have a similar recruiting failure and the same revolving door D line in Sask towards the end of his tenure?

I think there are a lot of old people who still buy tickets and never go.As advvertised, bought a couple tickets for me and my favourite gal and went to our first football game in a couple years. Beautiful day, and nothing else to do, so why not. Plus, wanted to see Tre Ford. And make no mistake, we were not going to see the Elkimos necessarily, but mostly, Tre Ford.
Went to Elks site for the tickets and was moved over to Ticketmaster. Looked for tickets in the section we were interested in and very few left, so grabbed the last 2 in one of the rows.. We thought, wow, this is going to be a large crowd.
Got to the game and we were the only ones in that row, and all around us, lots and lots of empty seats. Just assumed they would fill up as we got closer to game time. But maybe 3-4 people showed up as the game progressed and that was it. Not sure how Ticketmaster can make it look like not many tickets left, and actually, tons of seats available.
On to the game. Tre came as advertised. Fast as a fly and super exciting. Worth the price of admission. Leake looked good and #31 was pretty shifty too. #94 looked good and Gurlee Kittens made some nice catches.
Our punter is damned good, and the best one we've had for a long long time. Lock this dude up.
Bede missed an easy one early. For all the criticism Sean Whyte took on here at times for not being able to drill them through from 55 and up, he's extremely reliable from 45 and in his entire career, and that's what you need to win in this league. Not sexy at all, but incredibly consistent. Careful what you wish for.
On defence, #45 and #24 missed a few tackles each, but seemed to get better as the game went on. The defence was getting shredded, and I think it might be some scheme issues and a few guys need to be moved out. Combo of both.
Losing Ford for any length of time will be devastating to any chance this team has of winning more games. I have zero confidence in MBT, even as he managed to steer the ship home tonight.
To the guy and his adult sons sitting behind us and ringing their f***ing cowbells all evening in our ears......f*** off. I hate those things. My wife said we might have to bring ear plugs next time. .

The fact she said "next time" is a positive. We need more people that go to games to talk about the next time they are coming to a game.
Suitor is getting very old and tiring, but he is better than Dunnigan.Suitor and Nielsen can’t be the best options to call the game

The fact that his filtered threw this many teams already tends to make me think he’s done. But guys will chase dreamsNathan is it time to come back? Can he really be making much more just on tryout contracts now? 6' 2" no running QBs in NFL, don't usually last too long.

B.C. QB Nathan Rourke released by Atlanta Falcons just 10 days after signing with them
The B.C.-born quarterback joined the Falcons on Aug. 1, less than a week after he was cut by the New York Giants. Now, they've cut him, too.theprovince.com
I wonder if he goes UFL for a season as his last shot at getting noticed. Then signs a long term CFL deal if that doesn’t work.The fact that his filtered threw this many teams already tends to make me think he’s done. But guys will chase dreams

None made the playoffs either, he wasn't on the roster much either, mostly practice arm.The fact that his filtered threw this many teams already tends to make me think he’s done. But guys will chase dreams
I agree, but he will still get paid.There's a delicate balance between chasing too long and falling behind the rest of the developing QBs in the CFL and maximizing your exposure in the South. If he goes three full seasons without meaningful in game snaps, he's less likely to come back as impactful as he was when he left.
I think he plays and plays well in the UFL though. I doubt he would fall behind CFL QBs in that league. It’s no joke and quite a few of them end up going to the NFL.There's a delicate balance between chasing too long and falling behind the rest of the developing QBs in the CFL and maximizing your exposure in the South.

Possibly, but again the longer he goes without in game snaps, success even in the UFL becomes a little less certain.I think he plays and plays well in the UFL though. I doubt he would fall behind CFL QBs in that league. It’s no joke and quite a few of them end up going to the NFL.
I agree he can’t sit around and not play in the NFL another season.
Has anyone heard updates regarding Ford/ injury? I can’t find a sniff anywhere.
Good thing it’s the past, the future can only be better.it is sad that over the past 4 seasons--including this one--they have won 12 total games and loss 46. Bombers won 14 last season
Nothing. She knows her place.What did your #2 gal say about you taking your favourite gal and not her?
Sounds like it’s the last two seats in an empty row.Nothing. She knows her place.![]()
