Wow - Oulette is basically glass for a jacked dude. He just can't stay healthy

He's too jacked. Probably started heavy training as a pre-teen and he's just busted already.

He plays an aggressive way and that takes its toll on the body, it does for all of them. Remember earl campbell, Christian okoye-the Nigerian nightmare!!, etc smashing the crap out of guys and how long did they last. Oulette is not that fast nor that big, he's done though, won't be here 2 years from now

He has always been big since in this league. The blows are just catching up with him. Seems to be a bust signing for the Riders.

Should be intriguing to see how Chadley performs upon his rehab return.

Pressure is on him to perform or he'll be gone quickly.

Ya, mullet guy needs to hide his injuries and just say everything is peachy keen or he isn't going to get a big payday next season.

Riderland has been frustrated and disappointed with him since week 2. They look at all that money spent and see little return. The Thor hype going into week 1 was over the top! Gonna be lots of hammers on blowout at Rider store come season end.

Hickson has had a super-breakout game already. Mullet, not so much.

Let's pray he does way better than Rourke's 1st outing!! He should... in the room (in one way or another) all season, knows the book, worked with lots of the O last year, etc.

We NEED him to clobber Ridernation. He needs to be reg season 2023 Kelly, not EDF Kelly.

We've seen this before. I think a lot of jacked guys are fragile. Especially if the bulk of the mass is not natural. He doesn't strike me as a particularly gifted athlete. Just a jacked one.

No question he is or was gifted. He was a force with TO but the tread is worn out.

His timing will be off a bit, so he won't be 2023 Kelly but he'll be tons better than anything that's been under centre this year for the Argos. Not sure they clobber the Riders, but they'll beat them at home.

It must have been hard for Harris to backup Thor last season when he knew he had more talent in his little pinky than Oullette had in his entire body. He did well establishing himself considering he was a 3rd rate RB talent wise.
