It is our first look at two former Tiger-Cat defensive coordinators as head coaches when the Kavis Reed-led Esks travel to face Greg Marshall's Roughriders. We shall see how their squads are shaping up this preseason with this contest!
Since Ray won’t be playing; QB Matt Nichols will be my eye watch guy and hope he gets to start. As for the Roughriders; like to see how QB Cole Bergquist does running the offence.
I'm looking forward to Kerry Joseph having a strong outing. As the Eskies are in rebuild mode, maybe they hope he'll be trade bait for a team with a QB injury.
That at least had a somewhat entertaining finish. Schiavone was wide right from midfield to end it, and the Riders had the right number of players on the field that time.
It made sense that Mueller did not play much if he's going be playing for the Regina Rams again. But he does have a perfect completion percentage so far.
And Nichols did look better than Joseph.
That was kind of a boring game, but tomorrow's should at least be more interesting to us.
With that swirling wind, the game did have an interesting twist to it at the end. Nichols did look poised for the most part running the offence; decent ground game and one unfortunate ball that sprung loose on him. Anyway, I wish your team well against the Argo’s, Lemon gets the start, but I’m sure the Ti-Cat D will be ready for no matter who is at the helm.
Too bad for Schiavone that the snap was so crappy. Really messed up his timing. The holder reaching really high to catch the snap was about all I could see from that one camera angle since there was so much rain on the lens. I had no idea where the ball was until the official in the endzone indicated it was wide. :lol:
