Roughriders’ Chris Jones chastises ‘stupid’ play, praises Spencer Moore
As the second pre-season game and second round of cuts creep up on the Roughriders, practice got a little physical Tuesday morning.
Head coach Chris Jones likes intensity in practice, but he wasn’t a fan of what he was seeing.
“Too stupid,” Jones said. “We’re not going to be stupid … When you knock people to the ground in a pro football scrimmage, it’s stupid not physical.”
With more than a half dozen players listed day-to-day on the Roughriders roster, it’s easy to see his concern. Justin Capicciotti and Jeff Knox Jr., for example, have missed most of practice with injuries.
