For those 6 games he was playing at an elite level. For the other games not so much. If he could ever turn it on consistently, look out. Tough call but I really like Butler and would probably take him over Gainey. Rogers has always been a fav but maybe slight edge to Gainey as he plays the tougher HB spot. It will be a very different Esk team we play but it will also be on our turf. Throw out the previous results and get ready for what should be a damn good game.<br /><br />Skot - Good point. You can't run that much without solid blocking by the big boys up front. Richardson had some big holes to run through. I will try and be more praising of the thankless work done in the trenches by the OL. You are right, we only go as far as they take us.<br /><br />By the intended or not the line about my stick made me laugh out loud.Rider Prophethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05111976277479263164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457862363782171899.post-65970554768348889842017-10-30T12:48:58.940-06:002017-10-30T12:48:58.940-06:00What, no love for the O-Line?

No execution by them, and Glenn gets sacked or Bridge runs around looking to be a hero. Without a dominant O-line, the defense is in for a long night. The D is good, but also susceptible to touchdown scoring drives by second-string QBs. Always love your analysis, but the Prophet should point his staff at the generously girthed men in the trenches for every win, and every loss. The Red Sea parts for a reason - and it's not your stick. No innuendo meant, fine sir. ;)Skot Kortjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00681338027031381137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457862363782171899.post-29048185327031374432017-10-30T11:49:57.665-06:002017-10-30T11:49:57.665-06:00As usual well thought out, balanced view. I would ...As usual well thought out, balanced view. I would hope Jefferson gets the nod. Gainey has been good, yes, but when did a DB ever win Most O/S D player - oh yes, Jovon did in 2011. That's the one & only, I believe. If you want a chance for a Rider on the podium, the award is pretty much for LB's & DE's. Having said that, Eliminian & Singleton are the favourites & one of them will win IMO. I am conflicted about INTs in a way. If you look at the DB studs on Jones' previous teams -Watkins in TO who rarely saw a ball come his way in his prime, Grymes in Edm again, who has amazing closing speed & coverage skills but few INTs, I'll take one of those please, & you can have Gainey. No knock on Gainey - I'm happy for him BUT I have to say Gainey has lights out games & then a stretch where he becomes the guy Hamilton didn't want to sign. Dare I say it? If it came down to free agency & I could only sign two of Gainey, Butler & Rodgers, I'd let Gainey go. Feel free to call me crazy if you want. In other DB news, Carter isn't a DB full stop. Not a knock but let's play DB's who've been playing this since high school or college, not receivers who are very good at what they were born to do. Good game but real test coming up. I see some Rider fans are already tweeting about a blowout. However, I just read elsewhere that Esks were without Bowman, Walker, Hazelton, Waters on offence,Konar, Cummings & Hunt in front 7 (also playing wide-eyed rookie Mulumba in the middle), missing Grymes, Thompson, King & Colqhuon in the backfield when we last played them. Apparently robokicker Whyte due back as well. Plus 2 easy pick 6's from Reilly, 37 points off T/O's. Shouldn't we have beat them by 100? I think it will be a close game. Do Riders want 3rd? What's your thoughts on Riders winning?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
