No Time to Panic for Riders
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are just 1-2 this season which looks bad considering they are defending Grey Cup champions but the team is not ready to panic. “In the bigger perspective we have to understand we’re only three games into the year and we’ve played one good football game and two bad ones,” Assistant GM Jeremy O’Day said, “It’ll take some time but we’ll improve. The good news is we have room to improve.” The team had a bye last week so they come into this game rested and ready to get revenge against a Toronto Argonauts team that routed them three weeks ago.
