Who Are These Guys?

I think looking back at last that seeing the Riders beat Toronto on Thursday and then flying out to Vancouver on Friday to see the Rollin Stones play in BC Place was a one-two punch that will be tough to top. However, wait until Saturday night when the Riders play the BC Lion s in BC Place.
The Riders were home underdogs because Shea Patteson was starting at quarterback in place of Trevor Harris who is on the six-game injury list with a MCL strain.
Paterson saw his first game action two weeks ago against Hamilton when he came on for Harris and managed to keep the win despite not looking that impressive. This continued for the first quarter and a half but unlike last year when the Riders would have imploded, the offence managed to put together drives and scores while the Rider defence got five turnovers including a pick six to seal the win. I will not make too much of the resiliency of this team, overcoming cramps to their left tackle, injury to two defensive linemen who were invaluable in rotating in an out of the heat.
