We really need to change our defensive scheme on first down. I don't mind the fact that our middle linebacker is the only true LB but this should only be done on second and long. We need to get bigger on first and ten. Put 7-8 guys in the box and make them pass against us.
Our defense looks so small right now that it reminds me of when the Rams made it to the Vanier Cup and got pushed around by the Ottawa GG's.
I know people aren't sold on Durant right now but who else in all of the CFL would you rather have? If you take Calvillo, Ray, and Burris out of the picture, who is really left? IMO, Porter would be 4th on the list and then it would be a toss-up between Durant and Buck Pierce. Personnally, i would take Durant over Pierce.
I really believe that if our o-line improves their play, that we will start winning games consistently. Over the last 6-7 years, our success always started with the big guys up front. Establishing a running game opens up the passing attack and keeps the defense off balance.
The key number for this weeks game against Hamilton is 80. If Wes Cates rushes for more than 80 yards and DeAndra' Cobb has less than 80, the Riders will win!

The family and i watched the movie 17 Again last night. Pretty good show. I think the boys really enjoyed it and i'm sure the wife has a crush on Zac Efron.
Also saw The Race To Witch Mountain the other night. It's a good family show and i seem to enjoy any show with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. A man crush i guess!
Robyn and I went to Bruno on the weekend as well. That show is way offside! We laughed a lot but Robyn and i are pretty open-minded so all the homosexual "jokes" were just good laughs to us. A lot of people will find this show very revolting though. That Sacha Baron Cohen is a sick dude.
Later.
