"There’s a lot to it," Riders say geting a yard in the CFL is not always easy
How hard is it to get a yard anyway?
That’s the question many people are asking after the Roughriders failed to get one, costing them the game in Edmonton on Friday night.
The overwhelming answer is not as easy as it might appear.
“(There’s) a lot to it,” quarterback Darian Durant said after practice on Tuesday. “First and foremost, when you’re dealing with a front four like Edmonton has, it’s not easy to move those boys … and then secondly it just takes repetition. When you’re in the heat of the moment, reps are a lot different than they are in practice.”
