Dan Clark returns to practice? Will it be enough to help the Riders' embattled OL though?

In a word, No

Boy, have the Roughrider faithful ever turned on their team. Riderfans is awash in "sky-is-falling" posts. Three months ago, it was precisely the opposite. Eight months ago, they were convinced that every guy they signed was an all-star. Now they can't run Fajardo out of town fast enough.

You should listen to the post game call in show after a loss on 620 CKRM. Even better than the 5th quarter after a Ti-Cats loss.

I guess it sort of goes with the territory - homer fans disappointed in their team losing and venting frustration & anger; just that some of it is way over the top or right out to lunch. But that is a very large membership forum (compared to say here or lionbackers. ), so have to expect lots of and varied opinions I guess.

I still think the Riders can be dangerous in the play-offs: IF - all that talent on D has a big game, and/or if their offensive coaching can fix the O-line (blamed way too much there though) some, and devise a varied offence with plenty of ground game; Maas is likely not up to that though IMO, and they should have fired him by now. Winning the cross-over to get to the home GC is their best hope IMO.

Agreed. Their o-line wasn't anything special with Clark so I don't expect a lot of improvement with his return.

So in a word (or two): Leafs Nation!

That was unthinkable at the start of this season.

Yeah - i thought they'd be challenging for 1st in the West; they need big changes in leadership/coaching IMO; a caller on the RedBlacks radio post-game show says rumors of them hiring LaPo as new HC - bwhahahahahaha - what a joke/disaster that would be (wouldn't hire that goof to coach a local pee wee team; yet so CFL GOB typical.

I doubt Lapolice will ever get another head coaching job in this league; he will be back somewhere as an offensive coordinator though.

Maas being fired, I kind of get. But IMO Dickenson should have been let go. He let the Garret Marino and Duke Williams situations get way out of hand. Not surprising that hey went 2-11 after the Marino cheap shot and 2-10 after the spitting incident. I personally believe he lost respect in the locker room by not taking charge of those situations.

Scapegoat cards played by O’Day and Dickenson.

The coaches cap is hurting the league more than its intended to.

Very true. Another short sighted move.

I expect Bo to land in Riderville next year.

The Riders have signed American RB Javian Hawkins who had tryouts with the Titans and Falcons and was on the PR for all of 2021 with the Rams.

Six year NFL veteran OL Jeremiah Poutasi has signed with the Riders.

[gilthethrill]

Current Calgary QB coach Marc Mueller (Mueller….Mueller) has withdrawn his name from the Riders OC candidates list that includes Argos assistant Pete Costanza. I still expect Bo Levi Mitchell to end up in Riderville despite Mueller withdrawing his name.
