Saskatchewan Roughriders

Well folks, as we referenced in last weeks, ‘Coaching Matters’ primer, we’re now officially at the 1/3 marker of the year so I thought we’d do a quick external evaluation of the Saskatchewan Roughriders using a good ole SWOT Analysis. Coincidentally, the same methodology I use at the CDN Red Cross when it comes to evaluating programs […]

The Montreal Alouettes return from the bye week without Cody Fajardo. The veteran quarterback won’t play Thursday night when Montreal (5-1) hosts the Saskatchewan Roughriders (5-1) in a battle of division leaders. Fajardo went on the six-game injured list Wednesday after sustaining a hamstring ailment in the Alouettes’ 37-18 loss to the Toronto Argonauts on July 11. […]

Just having the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in town for a game is more than enough hype and excitement, but the Saskatchewan Roughriders are taking things up to another level. When the Riders pour onto the field at Mosaic Stadium, the team will be wearing the new “Obsidian Green” jerseys the team revealed a few weeks […]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders returned to the practice field on Tuesday morning at Mosaic Stadium. To no one’s surprise Right Tackle Jermarcus Hardrick was not on the field with the team. Hardrick left Saturday’s game in B.C. on a cart in the second half after being shaken up. Giving Rider Nation a glimmer of hope was […]

It’s certainly been a hectic week for Jarious Jackson. Jackson was named Edmonton’s interim head coach Monday after head coach and general manager Chris Jones was fired. The move followed the Elks’ 37-34 home loss to the Ottawa Redblacks on Sunday night. At least Jackson, who is also Edmonton’s offensive co-ordinator and quarterback coach, will […]

Before we dive into the game credit has to be given where it’s due AND what an atmosphere in and around B.C. Place Stadium on Saturday afternoon. I will be the first to admit that its’ been a long time since I took in a CFL game on the west-coast let alone a Riders/Lions clash. […]

Vernon Adams Jr. threw for 451 yards and his B.C. Lions handed the Saskatchewan Roughriders their first loss of the season Saturday, downing the visitors 35-20 at BC Place.  The result saw B.C. (5-1) extend its win streak to four games. Saskatchewan (4-1) came into the game as the CFL’s only remaining undefeated team.  It […]

I’ve been struggling all week with this, folks. I’m hoping that one of you can clarify something for me. As a former CFL pro turned Colour Commentator/Analyst, I’m getting the uncomfortable feeling that I’m the only one outside the locker room who feels good about the chances of the Riders going 1-0 this week in British […]

Thursday night football will kick-off week 6 of the CFL’s regular season tonight… In a rematch from week four, the Montreal Alouettes (5-0) will host the Toronto Argonauts (2-2). Two weeks ago, Montreal handed the Argos their first loss of the season 30-20. Here’s what to watch for tonight: Friday night football will see another […]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are 4-0 to start the CFL season. The last time they started 4-0 was in 2013. I don’t think I need to tell you what happened that year. Even people who are new to the province know what the Riders did in 2013. Some learn about the 2013 Riders immediately after they memorize […]
