Riders News

The Saskatchewan Roughriders came into their first-place showdown against the Montreal Alouettes on a short week, compounded by injuries and more new faces in the lineup.   Despite these challenges, the first half of the game at Percival Molson Stadium couldn’t have gone better for the Riders.  Led by quarterback Shea Patterson, the offense had […]

Well folks, as we referenced in last weeks, ‘Coaching Matters’ primer, we’re now officially at the 1/3 marker of the year so I thought we’d do a quick external evaluation of the Saskatchewan Roughriders using a good ole SWOT Analysis. Coincidentally, the same methodology I use at the CDN Red Cross when it comes to evaluating programs […]

Just having the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in town for a game is more than enough hype and excitement, but the Saskatchewan Roughriders are taking things up to another level. When the Riders pour onto the field at Mosaic Stadium, the team will be wearing the new “Obsidian Green” jerseys the team revealed a few weeks […]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders returned to the practice field on Tuesday morning at Mosaic Stadium. To no one’s surprise Right Tackle Jermarcus Hardrick was not on the field with the team. Hardrick left Saturday’s game in B.C. on a cart in the second half after being shaken up. Giving Rider Nation a glimmer of hope was […]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders were back on the practice field Tuesday at Mosaic Stadium to begin their on-field preparations for Sunday’s home opener against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

He was the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ second-leading rusher last week but Bo Levi Mitchell doesn’t believe that’s kept the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ defensive braintrust up at night. Mitchell leads Hamilton (0-1) into its home opener against Saskatchewan (1-0) on Sunday night. The veteran quarterback ran for a personal-best 36 yards on three carries in the Ticats’ season-opening 32-24 road loss in […]

A quick review of our KPIs from last weeks Edmonton Primer tells us A LOT…  As a summary, we talked about Marc Muellers in-game scheme rollout. Resounding success there. Mueller dialed up plays the got the team into the end zone, specifically after defensive turnovers. Teams have to score TOUCHDOWNS to win Grey Cups. Kicking […]

By the time the Riders and Elk kick off on this afternoon, there’s a chance that teams in the CFL’s WEST Division will still be winless on opening week. Despite both Winnipeg and Calgary both being at home, the Bombers and Stampeders not only have tough matchups- but both teams go into their games with […]

There is a buzz slowly starting to build in Rider Nation, as the team wrapped up the pre season with a win over the Edmonton Elks. After a few years of disappointing seasons, fans are starting to get excited again for what could be a good year. Coaching and personnel changes in the off season […]
