The offensive line for the Riders is like a turnstile making Cody run for his life back there and he's taking way too much punishment. At any rate, he needs to miss a game or two. Will Craig make that call?

Marino is a decent player, so yeah, they are hoping to keep him.
Its Grey Cup at all costs. I wonder if we get another practice roster scandal from the Riders, where they break the cap rules.
Craig isn't the coach I thought he was. It also feels like he has little control over that locker room.
If they lose Cody for a few games, the Riders are likely looking at a cross over spot that might be an advantage.
But Calgary and Winnipeg look to be the class of the league. BC's offense looks very good, but their defense is shaky. The Riders haven't looked great so far.
I expect that at some point the teams in the East get their stuff together. Its a powerful motivator for teams to knock out the home team for the Cup as well.
the only thing that I know for sure, is that the Elks are horrifically bad.
