RIDER RADIO: CFL Week 14 Saskatchewan Roughriders' at Winnipeg Blue Bombers Labour Day Rematch

color from downtown Regina Justin dunk West Kates alongside for the Labor Day rematch going down in the peg Riders and bombers after that close game that was played in the Labor Day Classic on Sunday 3533 the Rough Riders fell and that actually put the bombers ahead of them for right now in the standings but West this game is crucial because it decides the season series between the two teams yeah this is serious I mean it's a shame that the Riders played as well as they did but a couple of mistakes really cost them in the Labor Day classic so they got to go in there and understand that this is an important one they need to get just to get off the snide and like you said to keep Winnipeg close and uh have a chance at first place you talk about get off the schneide everybody knows it in rer nation by now team hasn't won since July 19th we call it a winless streak because there was a tie in Ottawa in there and that's what's trending brought to you by cars Holdings Integra Tire of caboa proudly serving Southern Saskatchewan for over 30 years Darren Tracy Dylan and staff welcome you for all your Automotive in a tire needs carst Holdings Integra tire is caboa truly local Trevor Harris feels like the Rough Riders are Fighters and they can battle their way out of this current winless skit we've been down double digits so many times this year in the fourth quarter uh in the second half and this team just continues to to continue throwing punches and uh there's no there's no fighting this or there's no d this team there's always fight and whenever you face adversity you can do two things you can lay down or you can get up and fight and I know what these what this group is going to choose to do and I know the tow level we have and I know our leadership and that's a that's a championship DNA in my opinion and I've been around long enough to to feel that and know that and it's just about it's on us to go out there and execute and make sure that we're uh doing what we need to do to get wins well that's what a team a family is about uh when you're family um it's never hey it's your fault we're in this together um if you lose we lose if we if you win we win sort of situation and uh that's just the that's the mindset this team has and no matter what game it's been um no matter who is you know quote unquote let us down it's not that uh We've let ourselves down and uh we're letting our teammate down if we if we make them feel that way we excited man I want all that smoke uh this is like what it's about you know the fans you know going crazy and having to use silent because you know they're so loud and it's going to be fun environment to play in those are the those are the ones and um those are the ones where as a as a family you need together you got TI together and and really B together and try and go get a win they're all must win for us that's how we got to approach it so uh respectfully I disagree it is a must I think regardless of how the outcome of the game either way like that's that's the goal man we just you know wherever it is wherever the ball's spotted and they got the whistle but we got to we got to put our best for four to try to get a win so um another uh you know our atmosphere was was excellent last week and we're goinging into another place where it's a little more hostile now for us um but the energy is going to be the same and you know I know they're going to try to come out and you know put their best for fors and we just hopefully got a bigger foot Riders hoping they got a bigger foot in the Labor Day rematch and you look at these losses West during this winless skid the Riders have lost games by one point two points three points and four points we're talking about four losses by razor thin margins so how do you and I like this word nudge those close losses over the wins I mean really it just comes down to kind of the preparation in the little things being able to identify maybe a a offensive set by the opponent or defensive set by the opponent and kind of play you know play the play perfectly so to speak and and get off the field as a defense when you need to to give your offense a chance or vice versa keep the sticks going to close out a game or get in scoring position you're talking about three four points that's every game you're pretty much in a position either tie or win with a kick so it's not like we're talking about making some 90 yard drive and getting it in the end zone we're just talking about keeping the ball or getting the ball back so you're in a position to go ahead and go win the game I think the Riders have just played good Ball but a little bit of their youth and in experience has gotten them to a position where they're not seizing those those moments and and understanding the levity of them and how serious they are in making the plays you saw in the graphic there the Riders during this six game winless skid have those close losses the only other loss during that streak I shouldn't say the only other one but one of the other ones was to the Edmonton Elks at home by 11 points so you add all that up I'm not a mathematician but those are some close games okay except for the game against Edmonton when Trey Ford started a quarterback and gave a bunch of new energy to the Elks this team has to find a way and you mentioned it West being a little bit younger we've seen some rookies do some great things we've seen some young guys do some not so great things but last week in the Labor Day classic the play that stuck out to me was Mario Alford those kind of plays just cannot happen from your veterans if you're trying to win football games and I think you got to take it one step further that when you're on the road and it's going to be loud and I'm sure you probably heard this around Mosaic Stadium this week in the area around the field they were pumping In Crowd noise so loud that you could hear it from the Dairy Queen that's right there by Mosaic it was it was like a witch was shrieking there in this simulated crowd noise that they had so how does that change things for an offense in terms of dealing with that loudness it's really terrible if you if you look at it on the grand scale because the C communication simple audibles that the quarterback would be able to yell out and everybody here and then your old line can make their adjustments receivers can make their adjustments now you got to have some sort of hand gestures or some sort of signals that maybe make it even easier for a defense to pick up up on the little changes you're trying to make and a lot of times with that crowd noise maybe you miss something or don't see something and you get a little bit off on your timing which can can destroy a play so hopefully they've used their time this week with all the crowd noises they pumped in and and done all those changes and made all those signal adjustments that they're going to need to get through this game but I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one or two plays where the Riders either have to call a timeout or they just simply mess up the play or go off sides just because of the noise so if we can see the ryer team get through this game without any type of mistakes like that I would say that that would be a great step into you know getting this win this is a critical game for the season series with the bombers and to keep Pace in the west division there was a lot of talk you know as this streak was kind of happening that okay well the Riders started really good and they're still in first place in the west division because of it but that's not the case after the BC win over Montreal last night in Le provance you have the Riders sitting in third now a win would be absolutely massive for a number of reasons here today but you look at the bottom of this division the Edmonton Elks are coming on strong there's some people out there West that think this team could potentially make a run to the gray cup they started the season 0 and seven so the riders need this win for so many reasons but they're going to have to do it without some key players in the lineup specifically on the offensive line against that's getting shuffled and we got a lot to get into as we go along here on the countdown to kickoff pregame show coming up next we're going to talk to Saskatchewan native and University of Saskatchewan huskys legendary quarterback Mason nias about playing in the world flag football championships then Jeff farol is going to come and weigh in on the riders in this matchup with the

hopefully all of our guests as we go along here including Mason Nas the former University of Saskatchewan quarterback he got the chance to represent Canada on the world stage at the world flag football championships recently his segment is brought to you by 2s auctioneers online auction house start bidding today at 2s auctioneers.com grown feature Mason what was it like for you to go over wear the red and white and play for Team Canada at the world fight football championships uh yeah it was an unreal experience um had so much fun it was great seeing uh some former teammates uh at the University of saskat on and it was cool just playing against people from across the globe obviously there was a there was a pretty wide range of talent pools there um but we had a great time and wins and uh yeah it was really fun how did you guys Faire in terms of the competition level everybody knows where you guys finished was seventh overall but it seemed like those games were really tight and you guys were Ultra close to having a shot at a bronze medal yeah um truthfully like talent-wise we were probably around third would be my guess second or third um the USA was definitely they're they're the team to beat there is probably no team that was beating them just athletically um but truthfully we we definitely have the talent to beat auster who end winning silver um Switzerland we uh lost on a last drive we had the lead probably should have won in that quarterfinal game definitely were favored to win and then um so they ended up winning the bronze and beating Mexico so we definitely could beat both those teams and were very competitive just didn't have our best stuff for one game and unfortunately that costed us hey Mason West Kates here I wanted to know what was your favorite thing about the whole experience outside of football how did you guys have have a lot of downtime did you get to hang out what was what was that like yeah uh honestly pleasure talking to you uh Mr Kate big fan I don't think I've ever been able to talk to you before love loved watching you play for the rers when I was a kid um but he's a beauty man let me tell you it it was awesome though yeah we had a ton of downtime um we got to just go check out hellsinki which obviously I was have never been to Europe before this trip so we got to go see some cool stuff got to eat some reindeer meatballs and salmon soup meal and some what are reindeer meatballs they have in Finland how just straight up meatballs or what you have on the side it was all saued up and stuff it was pretty solid I'm not going to lie I enjoyed it but uh yeah there was there was some cool experiences and there's 32 different teams uh in the men's category I think there's 25 different teams in the women's category so it's just cool interacting with all these different people from around the world so you're like the the flag football stud of QB now I was old head by the time I started playing flag I started off young playing tackle how how long have you been playing when did you start playing flag um yeah honestly it's a big thing in Saskatoon Flory kind of pushed us to do it in the off season so basically every quarterback at the ufs created their own flag football team with guys on the offense so we usually had three or four different teams from ufs in the Saskatoon flag league so I started playing in 2017 in the winter because it's really the only time you can throw in the winter in saskatch one is indoors right so um started playing then and we weren't that good honestly because we just tried to run like basic tackle football Concepts where that's not really the flag football game so you kind of have to understand how the flag game works and make some plays in a different offensive scheme for it so we got better over time Mason who else was on your team from Saskatchewan that rder Nation should know about yeah um Mitch Hillis probably first and foremost I want I think he still holds the C West record for receiving yards and touchdowns I want to say so he was there we had Chad Brawn another ufs husky uh Colton Clawson um Kyle seamons we had Clovis Luma and Everett Iverson hopefully I'm not missing anyone but those were like kind of the major SAS pieces um we won nationals with back last summer and then got to bring with us for the team who was your go-to receiver um surprisingly none of those names Mitch Hillis unfortunately which kind of hurt our chances in that quarters he uh he hurt his hamstring in like the first five minutes against Italy once again couple couple hasbin I guess so he wasn't didn't have the soft tissues ready to go but um Fran risho from Montreal was probably our go-to guy he played at Western I uh I knew him from playing Team Canada with the under 19 team that went to China so I've been good friends with France wall for a long time and I'm really happy we brought him he he was super talented and uh he was one of the better receivers in the tournament so who gave you your toughest competition that you got to play over there what team what team was like the struggle or or gave you some good looks that that kind of flustered you yeah um Switzerland we lost to like we were undefeated I I guess uh so we we went through our pool pretty easily and um played Switzerland and we lost to Switzerland in the quarters but they truthfully didn't have that much talent they just had one really good stud in flag football when you have a small field that guy can take away half the field and he he made some good plays and uh that caused us some problems so one dude on Switzerland and then in the in the group play and we end up uh playing him a second time in the constellation bracket was Italy um that they had they were ranked fifth in the world going into the tournament they were number one seed in our pool prior to us beating them in pool play um they have a quarterback that's lots of their guys are Americans right they're American Italians with Italian citizenship so they're quarterbacks from like New Jersey I believe and he plays in the Euro pro league now so he's a six foot five Slinger who can who can put the ball around the yard like these guys are are some big dudes in Europe I know Germany's quarterback we played in the preseason he actually played for the dinos back in like' 05 so okay he's like 652 so it was kind of funny seeing some roots in North America for those quarterbacks in Europe who was Germany's quarterback do you remember his name uh his last name was Cleaver or clever or something I'll have to double check on it but I I'll text you right after this I I know I can find it all right man so Wes doesn't want to be a homer here and I'm actually curious about this how good were the United States yeah um truthfully their schemes are their overall um like I mean technical play wasn't great like but are just way more athletic than anyone like truthfully um we have a good team like I thought we could easily win silver medal there but if we played them likely we play them 10 times they probably win nine sort of deal um just on athletic ability like it's hard to flag those guys they're just way faster um with that being said like I know there's a lot of debate with that quarterback at Team USA saying I'm I should play on this team over Patrick Mahomes and stuff like that um I don't think that's was his name who said that yeah you little more context who said that what's his name that was viral that was uh his name's Daryl duet or they call him hoos who duet is his nickname and he was all over ESPN a lot of ANL guys are fired up about it because he went on and said these NFL guys are going to take over the Olympics and you know we set up the game and hey I'm the best flag football courb in the world including Patrick Mahomes so that that put up some viral uh tweets and Instagrams but you know I'm taking Lamar Jackson over that guy for sure in flag football so I don't know but it got some controversy and a lot of people were talking about it at the tournament which is that sounds about right if you're a US athlete and you got like a one syllable nickname you're you're usually a beast like you're nice with it I don't know Patrick Mahomes nice but I played against a guy named chief in in high school basketball and he like we let him get three off and he made all three so hey fair enough fun no that's awesome so what's what's next for you now now that you now that you're the flag football International stud that you are what what what do you bring back to S Saskatchewan what's up with you yeah so I'm actually living out in Vancouver right now I'm coaching quarterbacks at UBC this season um unfortunately got off to a little hiccup here at the start of the year which hasn't been great what's going on two at home dude hey I I was I was saying you know I'm 0 And1 I wasn't here week when I was in year no it was obviously obviously a tough start for the for the guys um played Alberton obviously didn't go our way in yesterday we just didn't play great offensively and wasn't connected football so um we have a long week here played last night next game Saturday in Regina so hopefully I don't know if you guys are on the road or whatnot but com to yall um but yeah that should be a good game and I mean who would have predicted this K West Start Right UBC and ckat and 0 and2 I don't know when the last time that ever happened and then Manitoba Reina 2-0 and then Calgary and Alberta splitting I mean I mean the can West is always a the wild west but this is this is extra wild this year it definitely is man did you have a chance to catch the Rams Huskies game at all I didn't it was the exact same time but uh I couldn't really sleep a little bit last night so I did the quick can West stream uh and W watched a bit of it I I saw it came down to the wire was that a catch or not done I couldn't quite tell from the persever what were you crew in the truck led by our producer Dave Roberts got a good shot it wasn't a catch it bounced pretty dang it Dan weave I was gonna V for Dan weave on that one but know did you hear what Nick weave said this week no what he say oh my goodness what did Nick say he said that you boys up there in Saskatoon used to refer to Mosaic Stadium as Griffith Griffith's Stadium South I'm not going to confirm nor deny that okay just joking that's Nick weed talking about me but that's hilar he said it in the media bro it was all over the place yeah that's confidence I mean that hey that he he's a he's a loose cannon that's why he plays linebacker but uh he uh that's that's hilarious I know he got done dirty in the in the rider rider meetings with the buison sweater last week and I'm sure Mitch pickton's going to give it to him this week so him and lumo are having a having a tough stretch here but hopefully the the dogs can get him back in the wind column next week it doesn't sound like it's so much Mitch picked and it's Jackson Ford that was given it to him from the Rams side and Jordan lenen one of the assistant coaches we'll call him with the Riders made him wear that Manitoba bisen here because he's got ties over there so yeah I want to get a little bit of Canada West talk in with you while we have you and you mentioned it UBC is going to come play the Rams you can listen to that game live on 620 ckm on Saturday believe kickoff is 2 p.m. local time what are the Rams looking at in terms of UBC coming in here because a lot of people are surprised defending Hardy Cup champions 0 and2 yeah 100% um it there's not much really that I can say I haven't I haven't even watched the tape from last night yet I'm going to go in and do that today but truthfully we just need better performances offensively defensively specials all connectivity like obviously it's an easy excuse to say hey we lost two NFL players on our o line like we whatever but we have enough skill to beat anyone in the country I firmly believe that and obviously the first two games don't show that it's not like we're losing we didn't lose by three points in these games right they weren't like necessarily a close competition near the end of the fourth quarter so we simply need to re-evaluate what what we're doing Get Back to Basics get back to BN us and hey we still have G Rooker who I think's one of the top backs in the country Isaiah Knight top running back in the country we have Shamar uh MCB we have Sam Davin por at receiver all these studs right we should be able to move the ball and put up a lot of points offensively and we haven't done that for the first two weeks so the rounds are going to be a tough test I mean they're two and 0 and they're going to be playing with a lot of confidence and heck I don't even know what's going on with their quarterback situation right now obviously Owen SE and I know suffered a concussion week one and he was not playing last week and I don't know when he's going to be back but heck Noah peles com off the bench after Stephen comes in as a rookie and kind of takes that starting role and he sets an all-time career or a program record for passing statistics last night against this scatch with like 84% completion percentage so um we'll see who's playing quarterback next week for them but it should be a tough test should be fun you mentioned the two NFL players that left UBC and I think we got to name them Theo badet is on the practice roster with the Chicago Bears talking about viral he went viral known as the Canadian Eagle on Hard Knocks how about that man Wes did you see that I missed it it was during the rookie show that all the Bears had to do was they had to do some sort of a music I don't say skit but musical performance yeah so tyal he was singing some American song that I don't know it's really slow it's just not my kind of music and then at the end of it he rips off his terway like old school and he's got just a what do you even call that like a speedo it was an eagle Speedo yeah basically so coach Mato is going crazy Williams everybody loved it this guy went viral he was talked to by People magazine he provided a life update on Hard Knock as well and then the other offensive lineman is giovan Manu who is with the Detroit Lions was selected in the NFL draft the Lions actually traded a higher round pick the next year to go get this guy and Mason I don't want to sell anybody short that's there now because you know I heard from some birdies that there's some NFL interest in the running back there Isaiah Knight that guy is an absolute beast in West case would uh know a thing or two about great running backs yeah 100% um first and foremost on Theo I mean hey if you're bubble guy you got to find a way to make the roster that guy's a lock so don't grab Clorox wipes when they want you to get dude wipes yeah exactly the coaches if a guy does that in the skits and he's a bubble guy he's staying for at least a year so he he figured it out that's awesome and then obviously Gio made the 53 man roster which is sweet I'm super super happy raham um yeah Isaiah Knight he he's just he's a dude um he's 61 he's 25 220 he's a big dude and he moves well he's he's going to run a pretty fast 40 coming up at this combine in the CFL here and hopefully we get another pro day like we did last year so uh Isaiah Knight definitely um has been getting a bit of looks here with film and whatnot from teams down south and then we have we have two good old linemen that should be should be high see if draft picks and Arvin hini and Gavin K who uh have looked really sharp this thus far this year and hopefully we can kind of get that run game going a bit more in the coming weeks you know man I could talk football with you all day I hope you enjoy the home trip for you although it's a business trip when you come to town next week to play the Regina Rams and thanks for taking

one local time I hope I got all the time changes right with Dave Thomas Luke Muller they're on the scene there they'll join us in the last hour of the pregame show leading up to kickoff from 12: to 1 for the ryer nation pregame show to set the scene from Winnipeg but right now to help us get Ste up for the game we go out to Rough Rider Legend Jeff farol in his segment brought to you by zipper loock Building Company in powerlift doors see them in Raymore or call 8692 5515 Jeff let's look at the Labor Day classic before we go ahead to the Labor Day rematch what were your overall thoughts on what went down at a soldout mosaic stadium in front of the largest crowd the Riders have ever had at new Mosaic Stadium yeah you know look at this it's it's one of those things that you know it's almost like deja vu all over the again all over again with the um with the fact that the Riders have lost so many games but here's the difference I mean they played right till the end right and they you know they came back we had a chance to win that game right at the end right at the end and you know what else do you want it's a good game um I'm concerned with with some things I'm obviously concerned about our o line I'm concerned about all the zone defense for playing and not getting uh pressure on Karis uh you know they're just picking us apart now here's the other thing here's the downside you know Karis didn't play in the second half so what would have happened if he did and that's that's what's concerning he puts strer in there who can't hit a barn door with a pass so you know well I mean come on and you know all they got is running game at that point and you know so I'm concerned all this Zone not getting pressure back offensive decim at our also' got brown also wearing yeah I'm a little know it's another day Jeff hopefully we can hear you a little bit clearer as we continue to go here but you mentioned a couple of areas there so let's zero in on it you feel like the defense is playing too much Zone coverage well I just think I think we are and I I I think it's it just seems it seems to me and like I'm watching it on TV but it seems to me were what were playing a lot of Zone and the quarterbacks that have been around a while like karos are able to pick apart that zone and you're seeing like when we played BC see MC mcmanis um you know picking up hard our Zone finding those open areas and I think those you know those um those those players that have been around for a while the quarterbacks and especially with pressure in their face they're they're able to find the zones and and and eat us up do you mean Vernon Adams Jr well well I mean Vernon Vernon Adams Jr playing quarterback but mcmanis was was it mcmanis was a quarterback uh McKinnis McKinnis sorry who was who the receiver who was going in there okay yeah the picking part early on and and it's one of those things that yeah it's just I don't know we need to get some pressure you know we started off the game in the Labor Day classic by by sacking clis and then nothing happened after that and then we got behind and our running game our running game you know I think we had 18 total yards or something so you know that's just not sustainable yeah Jeff how's it going uh basically there it's just been a carousel it seems like o line and receivers so with Meyers out this week I guess kind of what are you looking at from this offense I guess the o line maybe a little worried about like you said earlier but the receivers do you think guys are stepping up and doing what they need to in that next man situation or how are you feeling about the receiving Corp well I'm feeling okay about the receiving core I think I think em is fighting the ball a little bit you know he he's dropped he's dropped one or two Bane Jr hasn't even been involved and um you know em made a a nice touchdown catch but you know I find him catching the ball with his body a lot more so I think his confidence is down we've got to get them involed we've got to get everybody involved early we've got to get you know schaer Baker involved and and you know everybody needs to be involved but like I have a I have a speech tonight talking about talking about teamwork and you know everybody has to do their job in order for a receiver to do theirs and you know our offensive line has to be able to protect our quarterback and and I'm worried I I really am and we've got you know furland God bless him he's playing everywhere and now he's starting at Center I mean the the you know to me they've done a a really decent job of protecting Harris and I think the uh the um you know the MVP of the of the offense might go to Edwin Harrison the offensive line coach and getting these guys ready every week because it's it's a real battle out there and um it's it's going to be hard and you know and I know the guys I know the guys on the defensive line for Winnipeg you know guys like Jefferson Etc are going to be really excited about this game because they they feel they can get to Harris how do you feel about I'm thinking about this because we dress four fullback or three fullbacks like were you ever uh had issue with fullbacks being in the game and kind of being out in the routes you know a little heavier sets and and passing out of that maybe to give defense a different look or to get a a less uh athletic or Speedy defense on the field to kind of counteract that well I think we need to have those guys I never I never even thought about it w I just did my job you know they I always said you call the play I'll go run it you know it didn't really matter to me but but we need those fullbacks in the game for two reasons one we need to help out with our offensive line and secondly we you know they play a lot of special teams and um you know and that's you know I hope that they are playing in the game and or actually I hope they're not because that means our offensive line is holding up but if we're seeing a heavy load of of our of our fullbacks in the game then then obviously our offensive line is having issues so um yeah I mean as far as I'm concerned I mean you know do what you got to do to win the game but but at this at this point in time you know it's all man it's all it's every man on on deck and it's like you said next man up it's easy to say hard to do um but I think this team still believes I think they you know it's different than than the last couple years I think that they they do believe and I I I think that they can turn the corner if they can stop shooting themselves in the foot and finding a way to lose rather than finding a way to win which was earlier on in the season Jeff Dante Meyers is out of the lineup after having three great games to start his CFL career with a shoulder injury he sustained in the Labor Day classic what are they going to miss with Meyers not in there well hopefully nothing um hopefully we can we can get what we need out of uh out of Bane Jr you know and now that he's going to be playing wide receiver in a heavy dose of it hopefully Bane can can step in there and and do what Myers had been doing um you know he needs to he needs to step up otherwise otherwise he wouldn't uh you know he's not going to see the field again if he doesn't step up so you know when when Myers comes back but you know like like Wes said it's next man up so you know now he's playing a position that Myers was successful in so let's see if he can do it it should be should be next man up he had a great season last year I'm not sure where he's at this year but you know hopefully he can step up from your seat Jeff what do the Rough Riders need to do to finally get a win for the first time since July 19th when they actually beat the Blue Bombers albe it that was at home yeah and this is a tough game and I mean going into uh um going into Winnipeg is always a tough game after Labor Day it's usually it's usually tougher after the Riders win Labor day so hopefully we have hopefully we have a better chance but I think what we need to do is you know the offensive line needs to hold up um our defensive line has to get some pressure on keris or I think he's going to pick us apart um so we need pressure uh we need to protect uh it's just basic football and we can't shoot ourselves in the foot it's always seems like one play here or there that that knocks us down you know last week was the mistake by by our returner and you know the week before was was something else and then the week before that was you know missing field goal so it's you know we we've got to play a solid three-phase game it's it's it's so cliche to say it but we need to play a solid three-phase game and and be able to uh be able to to handle that crowd and take it to Winnipeg and we need to get on we need to get a good start thanks for the time Jeff and enjoy the Labor Day rematch well I look forward to it you know these games against winnter Peg are always fun but uh you know fingers are crossed and uh I'll be cheering let's go that's Jeff far home Rough Riders legendary receiver on the other side you'll hear from Cory

Ruff Rider radio network and 620 CKRM it's game day in the peg the Labor Day rematch Justin dunk alongside West Kates live from the 620 ckm studios in downtown Regina looks like a beautiful day here for football hopefully it's the same out in the peg we are not only coming across live on the radio and your streaming app for that radio radio but also live on youtube.com/ Sports cage.com our man Curtis behind the scenes here is getting us up live streaming on X throw up the X let's go let's go live streaming everywhere you want to see us live in color coming at you and there was a lot of talk Wes after the Labor Day classic about protecting CFL quarterbacks and the reason was Blue Bombers president Wade Miller was out here saying the commissioner Randy ambrosi ain't doing enough to protect these guys I think the comments were a little bit biased because he says for three straight Labor Day Classics his quarterback Zack Claris has taken shots that he essentially and I'm paraphrasing believes were cheap I guess he took direct aim at Miles Brown who will respond to Mr Miller later in this program so stick with us for that exclusive video interview with Miles brown but I got a chance to ask Corey mace and Trevor Harris what their thoughts are on the league protecting quarterbacks in and among the current rules that are laid out Neo from The Matrix or you know like it just doesn't make a lot of sense it's it's tough and so I think it honestly I think we should have to dive head first and you know I think it's a little bit easier for them to to figure that out from there or you know we're ultimately when we run the football we're we're running backs and uh I don't I think we give up our protection there you know in terms of hitting us low uh hitting us uh in the head while they're in the pocket sailor diving into our face those are some the things that I think that you know that we can eliminate the head coaches uh meetings and the league meetings in the offseason you know we we and mind you have only done one but I would assume that every single one uh you got a lot of uh guys been around football and people have been around football a long time trying to find a solution to protect the quarterback and that's where we're at now and you know things as they go throughout the season U maybe there's some other things that uh that we can look at but I mean those are the rules of what they are right now DC and you just got to you got to BU by this football man it's sometimes it happens I uh I've been I've been hit times where people ask me if it was cheap shots and uh I I don't know I'm just a person that believes people were trying to play trying to do their best all right lots to talk around this this week Wes I want to get your take in a second but this is what Miller said quote at some point maybe our commissioner will decide that we should protect quarterbacks after the play he told that to Winnipeg Free Press reporter Jeff Hamilton any player that hits a quarterback lower in the head after the play should receive a rough play disqualification Miller insisted the Saskatchewan player now has two such hits this year alone on quarterbacks okay let me break that down real quick miles Brown is who he's talking about when he rolled into Drew Brown I don't think there was any way you're going to stop that bowling ball a guy that's over 300 lb from getting into him so let's focus on the hit that Brown Put on Zack Karis last week that knocked him out of the game first and foremost do you think it was egregious do you think he was trying to hold up what's your take on it I think he was close he was almost there I think the only thing he did that was maybe a little egregious was that he turned his shoulder into him a bit but he hit him like in his chest everybody knows Zack Kos is tender as heck when it comes to uh you know the concussion situation he's had a bunch like they need to have him in higher level equipment I don't know how expensive his helmet is I think he's got one of those Hightech ones that cost a few grand whatever at the end of the day he's out there holding the ball trying to wait give his receivers that extra second to get open then you're leaving yourself open to get hit I thought that it was a pretty clean hit it got flagged whatever like at the end of the day I I agree with Trevor Harris like the quarterback's out there trying to make plays you're do you're doing things at the last minute Defenders have to come over and try to make the play as quickly as they can and you're talking about protecting quarterbacks these guys are trying to protect themselves you can't do something unathletic or bend your body weird just to try to avoid another player then all of a sudden you twist a knee or or do something because you're trying your damnest to not to hit this guy who's out there playing like he's got some special bubble around him and is trying to sneak every little extra inch out of every play cuz he knows and sometimes quarterbacks set guys up too get flaged so I think it's something that should be really taken a little more lightly and and obviously if a quarterback's trying to make a play then the guy should the defender should get a little leeway now if the quarterback's trying to avoid contact trying to get to the sideline trying to go down and a Defender flops on them okay throw the flag but we're playing football everybody's getting hit now we got one guy who should never get hit no he's making plays he's going to get hit this is Thoughts with JD brought to you by Red ver agricultural Supply your poda versatile and deelman dealer in reders visit red vers a.ca and people are going to want to stay tuned for this to hear miles Brown's explanation but you can see it on the play he doesn't drive through him with full force we're talking about a guy that goes 62 320 and knows how to use that power so it seemed like to me he did try to hold up that said the CFL still Fel felt like the hit was worthy of a fine maximum fine in the collective bargaining agreement is half a game check that's what was doled out to Brown so he'll have to pay up for that but I didn't think that it was an egregious late hit that he deserved to be thrown out of the game for and Cory mace talked about it that the officials actually looked at it again to see if it was level two and decided it wasn't in the game the most interesting thing from what Trevor Harris said is he's a quarterback right he's gone through now two straight seasons with injuries that he's had to work back from was on the six game injured list this year and he's talking about Defenders having to be like Neil from The Matrix when they get around him so here's a guy who's injured understanding how difficult it is for these big dudes to try to stop on a dime I really liked the Insight that Harris talked about and W you played for a long time you've seen quarterbacks get hurt yeah in terms of the CFL doing enough to protect the quarterbacks do you feel like they have evolved from your time in the league oh for sure I mean I remember coming up as a kid watching football quarterbacks had no type of safety then by the time I was coming out of high school college right you're starting to get some of those those flags for getting hit but it wasn't until later in my career that you're really getting the never getting hit below the knee I mean guys are getting chopped and double teamed and thrown into the quarterback and it's like oh no could you bumped his shin you know what I mean or when guys are kind of aiming for the chess and a quarterback ducks and then he gets a piece of the helmet and you're flagging guys for that no it's like natural movements there should I it's tough because it throws a gray area in there that makes it almost a a decision for the ref and you kind of want to make a clearcut so there's no gray but but this is the life we live right there there's gray there so when guys are trying to make plays and they're doing things that make themselves more vulnerable now you're going to reward them for like you can you can kind of cheap the whole experience by being a Savvy quarterback that oh I'm running and I slide right at the last time but it's not a real slide it's like kind of almost like a check slide and a guy's coming full speed trying to just stop you where you're at or where he meets you and now all of a sudden because you lean back six inches all of a sudden it's a flag if you would have just leaned forward and dropped the shoulder it's a clean play but all of a sudden when a split second you start to go down now he's got to totally change his whole momentum it it's it's impossible to do you'll hear from Miles Brown and his explanation behind his intent on the play a little later in the show but up next we talk to Canadian linebacker Nick weeb who makes his CFL debut after recovering from a major knee injury

shared his breakdown of this game the Labor Day rematch in Winnipeg we've got some others coming up as well in the show including Glenn Suter live from Princess audio Stadium you'll hear from Miles Brown a little later but right now Wes I want to get into Canadian linebacker Nick weeb who has recovered from an ACL injury that he sustained last fall in the Hardy Cup playoffs while playing for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies this guy was a highly rated linebacker coming out of Alberta actually went to the University of Oregon I believe if my memory serves me right he played with Justin Herbert there and at one point with the Ducks he was a special teams player of the year but for personal family reasons decided to come back to Canada and play for the huskys was a part of a couple of teams that won Canada West championships and Hardy cups and went to a couple of Viet cups but were oh so close to getting it done just couldn't get that National Championship wee is an outstanding linebacker the Riders selected him in the second round 12th overall during the 2024 CFL draft and allowed him the time needed to get recovered from this knee injury I've been super lucky with up to this point um so this is my first surgery I mean obviously they count you down under the knife and you kind of just you fall asleep and wake up with a new knee so um yeah it was a different experience it was kind of a different experience just being out and not being able to play football and and kind of and not being able to participate in the sport that I've played for so long in the sport that I love um so yeah I mean it it was a it was new territory for me and my family everybody so um just kind of having them with me I think was was a real help I mean I had my mom and dad with me so I was super lucky for them to be in the same rumors me and kind of support me through that whole process uh I got my surgery in Saskatoon and then the next day jumped in the truck and drove home to Calgary for Rehab so um having them with me and and basically just guiding me through that whole that whole experience my mom obviously did a lot more around the house and she's she's probably used to for me doing laundry and stuff like that I mean it wasn't easy I was hobbling around on one leg so um but it it was awesome to have them in my corner and and obviously it's it's not a fun experience I mean you're basically immobilized for 3 months of your life and and you can't move and it just it takes a toll on you physically mentally it's it is it's a long process but it it does teach you a lot about yourself and and uh being out on the other side of it I I couldn't be more I couldn't be more grateful that it happened really I mean it's been a long road I mean uh 9 months is it it it it takes a toll on you mentally obviously it's it's not an easy time um I've just had a really good support system to kind of lean on my family's been awesome my girlfriend's been been really good as well so um just kind of having that support system in my Corners has really gotten me through but obviously it's it's it's not fun it's uh you kind of get to see everybody else living your dream for N9 months of your life and you don't really get to participate much but um obviously being back being out to practice I mean it's I've had the most fun the last two weeks and I have in the last year actually Joel leiny and then Mitch doll were the guys up in Saxon who really wrote my program for me kind of essentially did the the did the initial testing figured out what I needed to work on and then and then kind of prescribe stuff from there um so it was a lot of weight room stuff obviously um a lot of uh a lot of the top range of my uh of my power and stuff like that so um it was a lot of quarter squats lot just just uh just a lot of grinding honestly I'm ready to roll obviously I mean it's it's a professional league so I think going out anything less than 100% would be irresponsible of me uh for the team and and honestly just for my my personal uh health so um yeah feel awesome Dan faring he's he's got me and Jackson back up to up to 100% And and we're ready to roll now obviously it's not easy I mean you play the sport for a reason you love it um and kind of watching everybody else and and not being able to participate and and play in gamees and stuff like that and seeing everybody get out there and have fun especially on special teams defense stuff like that um it's not it's not a lot of fun mentally it kind of takes it it does take a toll on you a little bit but um obviously we're out of the woods now and and uh I I can't be I I can't be more thankful that I went through this I think it it it it tests you and and it kind of teaches you a lot about yourself everything I mean it makes you want to play just as it makes you want to play as hard as possible for this organization uh coach mace has been awesome coach mjeri coach Sher they've all been super patient and super helpful and learning The Playbook and kind of and kind of learning how to be a pro um and they've all been so patient I mean the organization is kind of red around me and and now that we're out of the woods I I would do I I would like nothing but to repay the favor in the banel we mentioned Jackson Ford there who makes his Ruff Riders debut this season after recovering from a risk injury so you have two strong Canadians coming back into the lineup looking to make an impact on special teams we being a rookie making his CFL debut in Winnipeg made 199 defensive tackles tackles excuse me well at the University of Saskatchewan was the Canada West Defensive Player of the Year there this guy has the ability to be an absolute stud he's done it at all levels of football but now he's got to do it in the pros so Wes how do you transition as a rookie from being that dude in minor in high school at University of Oregon University of Saskatchewan but the pros is a different ball game yeah I think you you basically just keep treating it like it's just the same old football obviously you're going to have some better athletes that you're going against but if he's he's working down in Oregon he's a special team tackler I feel like if you're a good special teams tackler that means that you're ultimately one of the best people in playing in space because you're you know on special teams you're basically the whole field is in play so to speak and everybody's running down whatnot so I really like that as a stat he's a big kid kid or Big Man 6 3240 is what He's listed at which is is an impressive size to be moving around the field that well at like a linebacker size position there's some there's some rushins that are that are probably coming in at that measurement so the fact that he's out in space and and covering guys and and eating up space in the secondary is impressive I'm I want to see the kid play it's a shame I hate to hear great athletes like this that get setbacks from you know season ending injuries but it sounds like and it looks like he's the type of athlete that'll bounce back from this and uh probably come back even better so it's going to be exciting to see him out there I wonder how much he's action he's going to get obviously there's a great uh a lot of great defensive linebackers on the roster today so we'll see but uh yeah I'm excited for him with Wee's background playing for the University of Saskatchewan and this is our Saskatchewan Community Focus segment Saskatchewan senior mechanism sponsors it working towards quality of life for all older adults learned about home supports and SSM programs at SK seniors mechanism. CA you have wee making his debut Ford coming back into the lineup we've talked about it Wes these small details these little things that have cost the riders in especially four of these games during their six game winless streak where they've lost by one point two points three points and four points respectively in four of those losses can guys like weeb and Ford who have fresh legs coming back into the lineup push them over into the wind column I think so I like the way Ford is playing when he was healthy uh last year and I just think that's Canadians especially the kids who are who are coming out and who are comparable in size and speed and that sort of thing are playing this CFL game at another level because they they came up in that system they kind of understand the nuances and the and the the space a little better than an American coming up and having to adjust from playing a US style 11 man style game so I think there is a bit of a an advantage to being a Savvy Canadian who understands the game and who's got the athleticism to go out there and and play his position and and cover the ground that's needed so I'm excited to see both of these guys out here I always like to see Canadians in this league Excel and and it seems like every year they're closing that gap between uh the level of athleticism that you see in your typical American and Canadian on The rosters you got some local products coming back in the lineup after we played the University of Saskatchewan Jackson Ford played for the University of Virgina that game went down the prair Rivalry last night

you by Croft electric on the operators Ruff Rider radio network and 620 CKRM it's game day in Winnipeg yatchew and Ru Riders on the road for the Labor Day rematch against the Blue Bombers season series on the line and Glenn sooner Glenn suder excuse me we will be part of that call on TSN hopefully I can speak some words during the segment for gosh sakes but bombers Riders Glenn you missed the Labor Day classic last week but you hoop back in to the Rivalry this week in Winnipeg you got two possible Hall of Fame quarterbacks going at it yet again last week 3533 came down to the wire but Zack Claris was out for the entire second half in this game so how do you look at this matchup from the perspective of Trevor Harris versus Zack carlaris yeah you know it's it's it's cool because I I started to break down some of their career numbers I mean they right now are are ranked 17th and 18th all time in passing yards but when you you know you break down all the numbers like completion percentage touchdowns to interceptions things like that there're so close I mean they are are neck and neck in fact in the 124 starts for Zach there's 107 for Harris so what I did was projected if Harris were to start the same amount of games what would their numbers look like or be comparable Harris has the edge in completion percentage he would have the edge in in passing touchdowns and and fewer interceptions uh the one that jumps off the page though and the one that Harris is still trying to fight for is that you know that big Championship as the starter for the Saskatchewan ref Riders because right now you know those two cups in 19 and 22 for Zach really stand out but if you're going to put Zach in the Hall of Fame and you compare the numbers between the two over 35,000 yards passing by the end of this season if they stay healthy you know that that pass is deer Brock Michael Riley and Darien Durant who's on our show so you know it's uh it I just started thinking Zach's probably going to the Hall of Fame right away but if he is then Trevor Harris's numbers are right there beside him he's probably got to get that cup as a starter but Glen sudor segment brought to you by North home Windows designing building and installing Windows systems in Saskatchewan for Saskatchewan conditions Google North home Windows do you think he needs to get that great as a starter Glenn to be a shoe Trevor Harris that is for the Hall of Fame well I I think he's got the numbers to get in there now however that would that would just solidify it that would be sort of the stamp that would be okay now you're in for sure I I I don't know though there's been many athletes great players that are in the Hall of Fame that didn't win a cup so you know that weren't even involved with one and you think back to those two guys being teammates back in 2012 12 the 100th gr cup Ricky Ray's starter and his teammates are Zack Claris and Trevor Harris on the same team so it's it just you you their numbers are are so close um careerwise and you know even really this year Harris has missed a bunch of games but in four of his six he's thrown for over 300 yards and you start to think this in this skid he's deserved better I think right how's it going Glenn you're talking about the the QBs and the the close Edge I'm looking at the the Riders team in the turnover battle Edge they've had this defense has been taking the ball away and and seems to be on the right end of that battle but yet they're not getting wins what gives yeah this is the weird one to me Wes because as you know we always talk about the giveaway takeaway category as really the defining factor in winning and losing it's the most important stat and if you can win that in a game your chances of winning go up drastically however that has not been the case for the Riders over their last four games three losses in the tie so over their last four they they've got one point out of that four out of those four starts the bombers on the other hand have won all four now you look at the points for and against and the bombers have a bit of edge in in points four couple points there but they have a a bigger Edge on defense with almost 10 points difference they're only allowing in their last four 16 and a half points per game so their defense has really stepped up but the turnover battle should equalize that out and right now in those four games the Riders are plus five the bombers are minus five in those four games Zach has thrown more interceptions than he has touchdowns so this team defensively has been bailing them out and again back to that plus minus it it's a head scratcher because they've won it they're number one in the league in the giveaway takeaway and they're in this skid that they're having trouble getting out of GL if you can do me a quick little favor just hold on move your computer a little more in the middle or back up a little bit so we got you kind of cutting you off here we want to see all your beautiful face I move it a little bit one way or another other way other way hey hey hey there we go we got him now right in the middle just like that sorry we'll blame it on your camera man and we'll we'll blame the losses on the offense is what it sounds like you're saying that's perfect right now Glenn you're looking great this offense needs to step it up yeah I I I don't know really what the you know I I think there's there's a lot of different things that have gone wrong I mean the one game where Brett lather doesn't have a good game you know you you think about those sort of one-offs the the command center stepping in for the tie in Ottawa things like that but you know when you're plus five in the last four games you should be winning when you're plus 16 on the season your team leads the league in sacks and leads the league in interceptions and yet have one point out of the last what six games now like it just it's it's not adding up so something's got to give Trevor deserves better I think we'll see what happens in this one this afternoon how's Trevor Harris going to deal with the revolving centers Glenn because in the Labor Day classic he took snaps from three different guys Peter godber Zack fry and then godber tried to come back onto the field then Logan furland shifted to Center Logan ferland's going to start today at Center they got a bunch of work this week with the first team offense but the shuffling o line and Centers do you think that can be something that the bombers can exploit yeah well they they will try they will definitely try and and my prediction here and if I were scouting them I would be thinking that Jordan younger is probably going to go with forat pressure and stunt them and uh you know the one thing with the center for uh Trevor Harris is that he's got to you know any new center has got to listen to that Cadence and make sure they they are comfortable with how Trevor Harris calls the signals but I'm I'm sure they've worked on that in practice that shouldn't be a problem so what the bombers likely will do defensively is try to stunt and you know Wes can explain that but basically you know I know you know too Justin is that you're going to you're you're going to rush with four but it's not straight ahead rushing where the ends have the edges and the and the guys in the middle just try to push it it's going to be a lot of twists and stunts up front maybe adding a linebacker to go five on five which is not really a blitz but just trying to hit them from different angles and stunt them different ways that they have to pass off their blocking assignments I I think if you if you have a young group that's not really got a lot of chemistry yet you give them a lot of different looks like that and see how they handle those stunts without sending pressure and leaving your DBS in cover zero so yeah I I think that's what the the Riders will see in this one at least early on see how they react to it I know that the thought is all out Blitz against the new old line but I'm not sure you have to do that that might simp ify it for the for the young guys up front they might just have to slide Protect One Way or Another Wes and take care of blitzes that way yeah I'm totally with you I think that they've been kind of uh letting some simple stunts fourman pressures fiveman pressures get home which a good old line and and back should never really do every now and then but once a game tops other than that you need a clean pocket for your quarterback but I was going to talk to you about Brady Ola he looks like he's really submitting himself as the like the best back in the league you try to stop him early and you know they're going to go to him late if they have any type of lead so what what can the Riders stop him a third time well that's the key you know it's a it's going to be a third time if they do because in the first two games and again just to let fans know again this game is for the season series huge I mean forget the the fun of the Labor Day rematch and the name and all that stuff forget all that for a second this is a rematch match to stop a losing skid and to win the season series with a team in the west that you're going to be neck and neck with the rest of the way so huge huge game in that respect and this is the type of game at home that Brady has excelled at Brady Olivera he loves to pound it he he feeds off the crowd the crowd Gets behind him um you know and if Zach can get him to 120 or 130 uh you know I I think it's going to be real tough for the Riders to try and win that so they've held them under 50 yards for two games in a row they're the best team in the league stopping the run but this is going to be their biggest challenge in that regard in my in my guess this is not just talking about hey you got to run the ball thing that's that's very cliche we always say it but this is in particular a game where Brady Oliva feeds off the crowd gets rolling starts slapping his helmet after 10 15 yard runs that starts happening it's going to be long day for the Riders that's what they call bullyball out there yes exactly that's what they call it I'm not sure if we're allowed to really use that if you're in school and you're listening don't bully people it's not nice yeah I'm with you yeah we're talking about pushing people around on the football field it's allowed there but nowhere else yeah yeah it's allowed out there it's allow out there and one other thing guys I wanted to add before we go um this is the game that fans on both sides in both provinces really truly believe that I am cheering for one team or another I don't get it man what do he hears from fans all the time that think he's cheering for the team that is against them and I don't get it yeah that's what happens when you call it fair yeah that you know everybody's a little go ahead I was just saying Wes you're you're right like I know we're all watching this game through different colored glasses I know there'll be a whole Province looking through green glasses and a whole Province looking through blue but I I'll give you a little behind the curtain how I how approach it and how we approach it as a network the team that is is successful so if if the Riders get a few two and outs against Zach I will be leaning big time on talking about the rider defense if if Zach goes to you know start theame game with two long drives at finish in touchdowns we're going to be talking about the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in their offensive Excellence that's just that's that's the way it's going to go and I I'm I'm equal when it comes to defense offense or special teams that's not a problem in fact I I love when the defense wins sometimes but when if you think we're being heavy on one team or another it's probably because that team is successful at that part of the game so that's how we sort of gauge it if one team is having a big game and driving the ball well we'll talk about their offense if it's a bunch of two and outs by both defenses then we'll talk about both defenses you know on every single play I can choose between the offense the defense the players the big pitcher the coaches the importance in the game there's a lot of different topics that you can go to after each play but I guarantee you one thing and this and this game is really when it's the only time it really happens I'm not cheering I've got a red tie on so it's irrelevant to who's gonna win this game the color of my tie has nothing to do with who's gonna win this game let it be said easily Glenn suder is not a homer okay he's not cheering against your team give the man a break Glenn thanks for the time and enjoy the Labor Day rematch in Winnipeg thank you gentlemen it's going to be a great game on CTV not on TSN on CTV that's right get it in there on the other side we'll talk to my colleague at 3downnation dcom Mr John hodj for his Insight on what the Winnipeg Blue

the Cooperators Ruff Rider radio network and 620 CKRM game day in Rider nation is yours suatu and Ru Riders on the road in the peg to take on the Rival Blue Bombers in the Labor Day rematch and a lot of talk among these fan bases throughout the week leading into this game after the Labor Day classic sent entered around miles Brown because of his hit on Zack keris and brown to his credit gave a full explanation of his thinking on the play and all the controversy surrounding the hit that he put on the Blue Bombers quarterback I mean it's it's quite difficult when you run a full speed to stop on a dime um that's not something that's uh physically possible for a lot of men masas it's not something that's possible for me um and and in situations like this I mean like I don't I don't know I don't know if that if there's any possibility that a 300lb man is going to stop within 2T of person running full speed can you take us behind your thought process on that play no absolutely as I was closing in on him I was like directly in line with him um and I was so close that I knew I was going to make contact with him um but I knew I also knew I wasn't going to get the sack um when I realized that I turned my head away from him to try to avoid contact head to-head contact and um you know inadvertently made contact with his face mask and um which which is a penalty draw warranted a penalty um I think a dirty player you know malicious intent is a little too far uh especially for me I'm not that kind of person I'm not that kind of player I don't see value and you don't gain anything from playing dirty um so I think that was that was a little too far maybe a little Brees uh but I I not not at all that I mean to try to hurt him intend to hit him in the head I genuinely believe I hit him in his chest I turned my head away from him so I didn't hit him in the head uh and you know it's a football play and some sometimes it happens when a president of a team is calling a player dirty uh I think naturally you influence the emotions of some people um and he can't control what happens um so I think it's really dangerous when you say things like that especially in the media um but we'll see we'll see what Saturday holds for us did you have chance to like say anything to Zach after that play happened or was it kind of heat of the game or did you talk to him postgame right now no I haven't spoken to Zach uh I just see that he was taken off for a precautionary reason um I'm of course hoping that precautionary means that there's nothing wrong with him um and that he's okay I heard that he was taking first team reps this week so I'm glad that he's back on the field I think in this situation the right thing to do the safest thing to do was to turn my head to avoid head toad collision and and you can see on film that I did pull up I did not follow through with the hit like it what it didn't feel like I know how strong I am I didn't feel like I gave him much power um I felt like I reduced as much power as I could you can see me kind of Throw My Hands away from him I jumped over and rolled uh I thought that was the safest way to finish that play um it obviously was hot so Miles what's it like for you to kind of face this kind of stuff like public criticism from the president and then us even asking the questions like some guys might not do that but you're standing up to it I I assume it's a part of the job um and I'm a job doer so I'll just do my job full credit to Miles Brown for answering some difficult straightforward questions about his hit on zacharis this segment is the extra point brought to you by Frasier to me Member of Parliament for Moosejaw Lakes Center Lanigan fighting for Saskatchewan in Ottawa you heard Brown's description of his intent on the play his head coach Cory mace was asked about the hit and the comments made by Blue Bombers president Wade Miller coach the bombers president Wade Miller was kind of inferring that Miles Brown is a dirty player after that hit on Zach what do you say to that wow it's just tough you know I think Miles had two penalties in his entire career you know one of one of which you know I It's just tough you know he was yank down his horse Coller into a quarterback being a big boy trying to control your body you know myself Wade guys like that we should know that ain't easy dang it so miles is not a dirty player he plays physical game though that's what this is and um you know when it's all said and done I know his intentions never hurt anybody uh I just hope you know Zach's good and the rules are what they are and you got to follow them you know what I mean and um with uh with Miles this last week I mean it was a penalty um they looked at it to see if it was grade to worthy they didn't think so in the game um he's got to do a better job you know um but you know in the other situation of I think it was with Drew Brown I mean you're asking a lot you know it's it's tough but the the idea behind it is to keep quarterback safe and really all players safe and that's something definitely I get behind so um while hard just man got to find a way full credit to both miles Brown and Cory mace for answering some difficult questions about Brown's hit stepping up and owning the situation on his own shoulders Brown that is coming up we talked to Three Down Nation colleague

countdown to kick off with Justin dunk brought to you by Croft electric on the Cooperators Ruff Rider radio network and 620c dkm let's get to the goods of this Labor Day classic rematch in Winnipeg live on the scene my colleague at 3down nation.com John hodj just outside Princess Auto Stadium they called the Paw but I just hate that name so anyways hjj we got about five minutes with you dude how is this miles Brown hit resonating throughout what are we calling this bomber Nation I guess you can call it bomber Nation uh I've also heard it called B land but regardless of what you want to call the real estate here just south of Princess Auto Stadium which I do like calling the Paw sorry you don't like it Justin I do I I think temper temperat are high right this and I I don't think that the miles Brown hit was that bad I think it was fairly innocuous compared to the Garrett Marino hit in 22 compared to the Pete Robertson hit in 2023 but I think Wade Miller's frustration which I think echoed the frustration of a lot of fans here in Winnipeg is just the culmination of those things the bombers ran into a buzz saw last week I was there with you Jus at the stadium Mosaic in Regina the Riders are gonna have the same type of atmosphere here today at Princess Auto Stadium it's going to be loud it's going to be action-packed they're going to have to be ready to roll the bombers care about the hit though Wade Miller was very critical of the leag Randy ambrosie the officials and Miles Brown and even the Riders to some extent because he feels like it's three straight Labor Day Classics that Zack Caris has taken a cheap shot yeah and I mean even if you ask around you know the kind of quarterback fraternity that is in the CFL there's other quarterbacks who didn't like the hit right and I mean Randy ambrosie has been criticized for his response to quarterback hits Wade Miller wasn't happy with it I actually think quarterbacks at least this year have been protected just fine by the league but I do agree that going back to 22 23 the league hasn't done May as much as it should have to protect quarterbacks I know that the bombers are upset about this I think there's also at least some sense of relief about Zach being okay Coach Jose called it precautionary holding Karis out for last game but we've also seen o at times say that players are out for precautionary reasons and then they miss the next week I mean heck he said that Stanley Bryant was going to play last week that never happened and Big Stan is still out at left tackle for the Blue Bombers today so it's going to be interesting to see what the temperature of this team is like I don't think there's any vindictiveness on the bomber side enough to run Trevor Harris but certainly they are upset about it I think they're going to do everything they can to get Trevor Harris off his game within the rules hey John West Kates here I know that uh Zack keros has had concussion issues in the past and I know there's a certain level of elitism with at the quarterback position do is some of this just the high level that Zack cero has held in regard in this league and maybe a little bit of an overreaction do you think I think that it was an overreaction to at least some extent and I think that certainly the fact that he's a two-time MLP plays into it I think the history of his head injuries plays into it and I also think again the context of 2022 with Garrett Marino and the context of 2023 with Pete Robertson plays into it as well I know Ryder Nation doesn't want to hear about those hits it's worth noting that Garrett Marino and Pete Robertson are no longer with the team weren't even with the team for much long after those hits took place but I think that the pent up frustration from those hits has played into this boiling over a little bit here in Winnipeg I also think that you know fans are obviously terrified here of Zack colaris getting hurt Chris trer has not thrown the ball deep down the field at all this season he did win his only start In fairness to him but he was much more of a threat with his legs and with his arm in that game I think fans here know that without Zach colaris there's really no chance that this team is going back to the gray cup for a fifth straight visit so I I think that absolutely Wes the the the high-profile of Zach Karis played into it but I also think the pent up frustration from previous years as well as his past head injuries and just the general anxiety that fans here have about Zach's Health all have played into the response here Pretend We're doing the three-minute drill on the podcast here 30 seconds or less hjge who wins and why I think the bombers have this one now that said I picked the Riders last week so take that for what it's worth but I've been at every banjo Bowl since the game first started back in 2004 I've been very fortunate in that regard I just think that the injuries hey uh the injuries that we have along the Riders offensive line are going to be tough for them to overcome Noah Zur right making his first career start you've got Logan furland playing out of position a patchwork bombers offensive line did a great job last you're picking the bombers that sound like right I but if the Riders are gonna win they're gonna line to get it done okay thanks man coming up it's the rider Nation pregame show this is

Rider radio network it's the rer nation pregame show less than one hour until kickoff with Dave Thomas and Luke millinder who are live at Princess Auto stadium in the booth getting ready for this one the Labor Day rematch Riders at the bombers and it's time to set the stage with these Two Fellas as we bring them in it's brought to you by North home Windows designing building and installing Windows systems in Saskatchewan for Saskatchewan conditions Google North home windows or call 1866 362 6525 Dave I'll start with you what's the vibe like at the stadium you know there's a lot of positivity it was kind of a relaxed bus ride here with the scat Rough Riders earlier today so I I I would suspect that this team they know what's in front of them they're aware of what's going on and now there's a dedicated Focus to turning the tide here at what's going to be a very loud Princess Auto Stadium Luke I felt like they were a little bit looser um than in past road trips um I do think though that they've got a heck of a mountain to climb in order to come out with a win today so whatever motivation that the guys are pulling on um let's just hope that it equates to a great effort on the field because I think that what we saw out of last week's Labor Day classic um most of the things that were that were challenges for the saskat and Rough Riders a lot of that was internal and and right between the ears so hopefully we get a great showing today because they did feel a little bit looser theyve there's a little bit more energy you're right Dave in the room a little bit but but again you've got it you've got to put it on between the white lines right now you guys traveled with the team to Winnipeg you were in the team Hotel Luke you kind of alluded to it there but what's the feel around the group right now considering they're on this six-game winless streak and have fallen out of first place in the west division I'm not sure I think that I think that the focus is there but I don't necessarily know who is leading the group and that's not a bad thing I'm not saying that that's a right right you know I mean you know that Cory mace J and those guys are the are the at the head but in the locker room when you're when you're mired in these type of losing slumps you quite often can go two ways your vets can can really Galvanize the squad or it can turn into a little bit of a um little bit of a negative talking point right and guys sort of talking amongst themselves and the one thing that you don't want to do I think right now for this skatan Ru Riders is click up I remember when we were when we were a disaster in 2011 for the skatch and Ru Riders that's what we started doing I felt like we started clicking up right some of the Vets would just sort of had these side conversations then all of a sudden it it kind of snuck into like hey who's going to be around right like things externally start coming up that you would never really think of right if you were a first place team with a ton of momentum so how they ride that out um is going to be a uh the question and you're going to start to see it in the performance cuz you can you like literally you're right now if you're L scatch and Ru Riders there's nowhere to go but up right but you don't want to stay where you are yeah there might be some people in Ryder nation that are worried that they could continue to go down the standings you know as much as you say there's nowhere to to go it up in terms of the losing streak that they're worried about this team trying to nudge those close losses over into the win column so from your perspective you guys have been around the players talked to them you know on and off the Record how can it actually get done because it kind of feels like a little bit of the same script where four of these losses during the stretch fellas have come by one point two points three points and four points respectively Ultra raised their thin margin so it's not like this team's getting blown out yet they're not getting any W's well I I transfer my thoughts in part to Luke and saying that you know youve been in the locker room you understand what goes on in there but for my eyes and from what I was hearing this week it was a much different message from the team and the fact that you know at all we're just this close we just need one or two more plays we keep hearing that over and over again and it's been a span of 6 weeks and to me there seemed to be action to those words not suggesting that there wasn't before but there seems to be more of a sense of urg gency coach Cory mace called last week a must-win this weekend here going forward he calls must-wins and in my eyes from what I saw and heard from this group is that there was some Focus some refocus and a lot more of a sense of urgency and compete in the fact that these guys are no longer going to rest on their Laurels and allow the narrative to be the narrative that it's becoming that we are just that close well the one thing that you can take solace in if you're in that locker room or you're part of Rider Nation right now is the way this schedule is going to finish out five of the last six games uh for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders are against Western Conference opponents that's the best schedule possible for the situation they're in cuz you're right Dave and and Justin I I think that after the bye there's a very if you don't win this game there's a very high likelihood that you might be in last place coming out of that buy but again you have Calgary in Calgary then you've got AWA that's a good team but Edmonton BC and Calgary to finish up those games you have your fate in your hand at the moment for this es scatch and that is a good feeling so but again Dave's right right you can talk about all the little things that oh man we did this different and all it feels different I've been in those situations regardless of how you feel during the week it doesn't matter you have to string great practices together you have to you have to watch a ton of filmm you have to make sure that you're putting the right things in your body and at the end of the day you have to make the play what's the weather like out there and we go to our weatherman Dave Thomas for this segment because he's gotten so good at this the weather brought to you by Quality Tire with nine locations across the skatan quality tire.car but it was really Smoky when we landed yesterday apparently here in Manitoba there was much more smoke here earlier on in the week and it started to dissipate so there's a level of haze I would call it we are not anticipating a whole bunch of sunshine throughout the course of the afternoon as I'm looking across at the Horizon just outo outside here Princess Auto Stadium but Southwest went at 19 so it will be manageable temperature about 23 degrees so perfect weather for the first full weekend of September dare I suggest coming up on the other side we

agent for the Sask United party back to the riter nation pregame show with Justin dunk Dave Thomas and Luke Muller on the Cooperators Ruff riter radio network let's go Game Day Rider Nation your Catu and Rough Riders on the road in Winnipeg to take on the Rival Blue Bombers in the Labor Day rematch the Riders trying to get revenge after a 3533 loss at home at mosaic stadium in front of the largest crowd ever to be at new Mosaic Stadium over 33,000 people packed the building created a great atmosphere in Winnipeg it's going to be sold out at princess audo Stadium or what people in Winnipeg call the P I still don't like that but whatever nonetheless we go out to the Paw Dave Thomas Luke Muller there and first fellas we're going to talk betting the odds because I feel like you know even though Luke doesn't get it right all the time with his pick he has an idea in terms of the units right he's very careful about that when he's talking about mortgages paycheck your life savings he's pretty good at this betting thing so the bombers are favored at home by two and a half the total over under 472 the Riders on the money line little bit of value there plus 128 depending on your sports book Luke I go to you what are you feeling for this one well I'm not I listen I'm not going near that money line bet um at 2.5 for Winnipeg I'd probably go and take my Western Pizza money no not the Western Pizza money anything but the Western Pizza money pizza money and my and and our Colin O'Brien bank account on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to cover that I hate to say it guys but I just from what we saw out of Winnipeg last week with how well their defense played and how they were how they found a way to win with a one-dimensional quarterback in Chris strer I feel like they've got a ton of momentum and the other thing that I'm looking at guys is the history over the last 5 years like it hasn't been close here in the last four or five years guys like not even close last quarterback to win here in Winnipeg in the Labor Day rematch who Zack ceros Zack cero when he played for us played for so I'm taking the Western Pizza money the party money I'm taking the colon O'Brien money and I'm putting it on Winnipeg unfortunately boys well we almost had a situation where that line could have changed or an anticipated one in my eyes is Zach keros was extremely late coming out for the warm-up is the bombers are just actually right over there just streaming on and again for folks listening on the radio I'm pointing as of course you can like And subscribe our YouTube channel at the sports cage but Zach was a little late coming out it was Terry Wilson and Chris drer that were doing the brunt of the warm-up to our right but Zach is back so moot point at the end of the day just it could have changed yeah I'm also going to take the under on the points are you yeah I'm going to go under 47 I got it around 42 in my mind Luke's feeling it you know I got to shout you guys out because Colin O'Brien's man shop has you looking so fresh and so clean out there fellas Dave I love the white shirt well you got to again you can't see it in radio but I slopped my pregame meal on it so let's not tell anybody he covered it up no a challenge tell Aon I'll be there on Monday well I'm I'm just I was just admiring myself in the live stream telling Dave I look like Daniel Cormier in retirement you should admire yourselves and for people that don't know yes we're streaming live on 620c on the radio app and of course across your dial but also if you want to check us out live in color youtube.com/ Sports cage.com and we are live streaming on X or Twitter as well that sportsage go to Twitter give us a follow get in on the fun there go to YouTube hit that subscribe button be a friend tell a friend because this is the best pregame show in the entire CFL ain't nothing about it okay let's get Del Luke's keys of the game while I'm fired up for pison liquid systems experts in liquid fertilizer distribution fertilizer is just better when it's wetter pison liquid systems expect the best well there's a reason why I didn't take my mortgage money and put it on the Winnipeg Blue bomber I only took the Colin O'Brien account and and one of the reasons why is for key number one I think that this team if they can find a way to actually make the play that's in front of them I think they're going to be all right that was a huge discrepancy and one of the reasons why they lost last week is that they just for instance they dropped too many balls they let the bombers off the hook one too many times and I think that right now if you look on tape offensively defensively for sure special teams there's a number of mistakes that you can take and point at the reason why you took an L last week so this week it's all about making the play executing being consistent if the Saskatchewan Rough Riders can do that they can go ahead and take this win something that they haven't done here in a few years I think the second key is understanding Winnipeg they are who they are right we saw it play out in the fourth quarter in the last minutes we would tell talking all day about the fact that in the close moments in the fourth quarter they're going to go to Nick demsky right what happened they went right to Nick demsky when they needed it right they are a team that is not going to change this is a team that has been to the last couple great cups for a reason they're not sitting there being like oh man we need to make a ton of adjustments no they're going to come out they're going to get your vets they're going to get behind their vets like Patty newfeld who returns and they're going to try to hit you in the mouth and they're going to continually hit you in the mouth they're not changing understand that right understand that the things that they're going to do are the things that they always do don't overthink this one you got to play Fast and the third key I think is the linebacker play I think that this game is going to come down to which linebacking core plays the best and I was really impressed with really both sides last week but specifically with guys like Tony Jones and Raa KY for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers I think the key right now in this banjo Bull game is the fact that whatever linebacking Corp comes out gets into their drops understands their defensive assignments especially in second or anytime they're passing the ball I think that it's all that is where this the this result is going to have or or that is the group that is going to have the biggest sort of impact on the win or the loss for the saskatch Rough Riders that's Luke's three keys to the game coming up on the other side your pregame injury report and starting lineups

part duh we'll call it Labor Day classic rematch going down in Winnipeg that is where Dave Thomas and Luke mullinder are live at Princess Auto Stadium we bring them in it is time for your pregame injury report brought to you by the Saskatchewan construction safety Association which provides costeffective and convenient training courses online in person or on demand anyway where in the province well what's going to stand out in the injury report is that if you look up and down there are six offensive linemen that are on the six-game injured list Peter godber Zack fry Jacob Brammer Jamarcus hardrive philli Blake and Ryan seier and that's a pretty good starting offensive line anywhere in the league dude that's an awesome starting lineup I wish we had that lineup today not to say that our guys haven't done well the guys that have been put into this lineup have played really well so credit to guys like coach Harrison the on the old line but what you read there H that's crazy well and building upon that of course you can see the graphic if you're watching our stream on YouTube or of course over on X but Amari Henderson and Bruno Lael they are going to be one game injured list guys so they're the healthy guys but the other one that I thought that was intriguing is Anthony lanir and the fact that he was much more active this week and really trying out really the knee on the sideline during practice sessions so I don't know that his return would ever have been imminent for this week but the team is going on a buy and he's really been as coach May suggests really been attacking his rehab and so like I say he was out there doing a number of different agility and Mobility drills so I think that that's an encouraging sign for the Riders who definitely would love not only just to have his athleticism his presence on the inside but another body that they can rotate into that defensive line group that has been decimated as well by injury and retirement well it's been tough a tough stretch yeah for Anthony lanir I mean the last two years as good as he's been he has run into some injury issues and hopefully this team can get him back they're a dynamic team and I think that Miles Brown and guys like Caleb Saunders have done well in his stad however he he is such an impactful guy especially in the past game that uh I think that they really miss him your best availability or best ability excuse me right Luke you know this is availability let's go to the starting lineup brought to you by visit Minot in North Dakota only 4 hours away is your easy get away to family fun with a zoo new Children's Museum and more plan your trip at visit my not.org well three big changes as far as the offensive side of the football goes of course two of which are along the offensive line Noah zaro to lenberg is going to get his first ever start at the left guard position and then Nick Jones is going to slot into the Right Guard spot this will be his second start this season in that spot his third game overall in the CFL season the receiving core has to be shaken up a little bit as you also saw that we we didn't highlight it but yes if you missed it earlier Dante Meers who's had such a breakout season when he's been able to be in the lineup isn't going to play again today as again he got shaken up was in a sling this week at practice so that allows you to draw in Dell Duncan Busby into the lineup and he'll play behind a Joe a Joe and the starting lineup so those are going to be the two big changes so just to quickly run them down for folks that can't see the stream right now on the Cooperators Ru Rider radio network we've got keesan Johnson and Shawn ban Jr on the outside Ken Schaefer Baker Samuel emis on the inside along with a Joe a Joe Frankie Hixon starts at quarterback with AJ olet out again and then of course we've got Trevor Harris in under Center that Center spot going to be held by Logan furland here today I don't know what they're paying Logan furland but he's been worth every single penny this year outstanding contributions along the entire offensive line and Trevor Reed who is in his first year he's also been playing exceptionally well and defensively really not a lot of changes just two intriguing additions to the line up in the fact that Saskatchewan husky Nick weeb is going to get his first ever professional start as he makes his way back into the lineup after suffering an a Tor ACL in his last game with the Saskatchewan huskys last season Jackson Ford who suffered an offseason workout injury he's been re rehabilitated and he is going to be back into the lineup so Deontay Williams Marcus s's going to handle the corners Demarcus Fields rolling Milligan Jr of the halfs at safety you got Nelson L combo backed up by Jackson Ford the dline is Carney Johnson Brown and Brian Cox Jr Brian Cox Jr had a sack last week his fifth of the season and then that linebacking core which you so brilliantly highlighted in your keys to the game Adam oir you you have on paper Justin Herdman Reed which will actually be jir Thurman and then CJ Rivas yeah and and again that's the strength of this team that front seven um the one piece as well as they played I mean they held the best running back in the league in Brady Olivera to what like 48 yards right it wasn't very much um the biggest thing that our guys up front needs to need to do this this game is keep the pad level down the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are essentially like the Philadelphia Eagles of 2023 right they get a ton of their momentum based off of the work and the physicality they put in in the short yardage drill yeah right um and and so that's why I liken them to the L like you know you saw the Philadelphia Eagles just sort of tush push their way down the field yes all last year right and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers with Chris strer are the same way right they build a ton of energy and momentum off of that one please so today our defensive lineman have to get their pads as low as possible come out of their hips and play on the other side of the line of scrimmage right because as funny as that seems like it it you shouldn't be sitting here and being like man third and one is one of their go-to plays but realistically for them as part of their identity it's a huge play and just for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers lineup quickly guys uh Patrick newfeld the 13-year Pro is back of course he's missed a couple of weeks with an injury so good to see that Patty gets back into the lineup Stanley Bryant will not be along the offensive line for a second straight week after sustaining that scary looking injury out on the road a couple of weeks back and then Adam big hill also is going to be a scratch today for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers from his middle linebacker spot let's go to the quarterbacks in the QB comparison brought to you by Prairie guntraders in avenly for all your hunting and shooting needs visit Prairie gun traders.com well Trevor Harris again Trevor Harris is doing Trevor Harris things he threw the ball 49 times last week and is number three in the entire CFL in quarterback rating again he did everything right he just still needs to get some help from his receivers and I think maybe a little help in that running game as well yeah I thought he was fantastic yeah he was putting the ball exactly where he needed to be the problem was is the receivers and you don't want to throw everybody on the bus but the receivers just weren't making the play when it came to them and I think the right the the better this team can continue to do um with Frankie Hixon who only had 10 carries and 32 yards last game um the easier it will be on them because you also have to stay out of the second and seven plus range right they did a good job in that range last week when we were in second and seven plus we didn't have the issues that we had seen in the last few games but you can't you can't live and die in that section of the game for too long especially against a turnover driven defense in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and that's the other thing too the way these guys are coached on the Winnipeg side I mean I know that the Saskatchewan Rough Riders are used to getting a ton of turnovers or plus whatever but the Winnipeg Blue Bombers they're coached the same way and eventually yeah at some point it's going to start happening for them you just hope that it doesn't happen today and of course you want to go ahead and get that run game established so that the likes of Willie Jefferson can't just pin their ears back and not respect the run right well that's I mean look Willie Jay had a quarterback sack two uh tackles for loss those are those are momentum builders for this team and Zach Kos conversely before he was removed for precautionary reasons was 12 of 18 28 yards a touchdown and an interception before he left so he looks like he's picking up where he's left off the touchdown tosses just haven't come his way as again his touchdown interception ratio is still not where he wants it to be but Zach is Zach yeah and we talked about him too we we mentioned last week the amount of interceptions that he's thrown and it came to fruition last week he threw another interception but the thing about Zach claros is he's sitting back there and he's like man I'm the two time most outstanding player I'm going to keep shooting at you right so it's it's going to again this game has the all the makings of a classic but you got to feel like more things have to go right for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders right now than they do for the Winnipeg gr bombers we'll let you guys go and get some food and if Dave eats before the game Luke put a bib or a napkin on him so he keeps that white shirt nice and clean all right well that that's what that's where we were we were eating in the in the uh media Lounge there and how many pregame meals do you think I need guys come on yeah yeah we're we're full I don't think we're going to go for a second round there might have some of that popcorn though oh yeah that look good yeah they do a good job with the popcorn here in

riter Nation pregame show with Justin dunk Dave Thomas and Luke Muller on the Cooperators Ruff Rider radio network heaa it's Game Day Rider Nation the Saskatchewan Ru Riders on the road in Winnipeg for the Labor Day rematch at Princess Auto Stadium as the teams renew hostilities less than a week after they played in the Labor Day classic the bombers won that one 3533 and you know got some people atting me on Twitter talking about well how could it be the largest Ever Stadium crowd at sorry new Mosaic stadium and it's because they sold out all the seats before so there's been a Sello but what they did was increase The Standing Room okay so it was indeed verified by the franchise themselves the largest crowd in new Mosaic Stadium history over 33,000 people it's going to be sold out at Princess Auto Stadium for the bombers and Riders great atmosphere there that Trevor Harris and his new starting center for the week at least Logan furland are going to have to deal with it's not something totally new to Harris though because he had to deal with three different centers in the Labor Day classic Peter godber he went out with ofous went out and sorry we had a little quick trigger there but then Logan furlin came into the game but Harris has got a lot of reps in with furland this week uh the the game where Peter got hurt and uh and Fry came in cuz I had really taken too many staps from him and then when got hurt I was like man who's going to play center and and then uh we and then Fred when fried got hurt I see Peter walk out on the field and you know in my headset they're like get Peter off the field he's not cleared VI I was like Pete get off the field and he's like we don't have anybody else and I was like we're getting Micah like and I was like I don't know who's going to snap and so end up being furland who was great uh but it doesn't surprise me with Logan furland he's uh he's filled in a tackle guard Center uh and he's just been Elite no matter what he it was pretty regular throughout the throughout the game but uh every every snap we've gotten this week has been has been important you know especially with the silent Cadence uh and you know getting the rhythm of that um and then the different sort of cadences we have within that are important so um he's been great any quarterback tell you your relationship with your Center is always a little bit different and um but uh Logan's like stunn man I mean shoot he's played tackle he's played guard he's played center uh and he's truly an elite lineate we're we're really lucky to have a guy like living for and there's no question about that I think the most injuries I've ever seen up front um and so those guys are piecing it together battling and shoot I think somebody told me they were the PFF o line of the week so I take pride in that cuz I feel like I'm part of the o line and uh that's we're cuz we're kind of tied together uh with you know the amount of sacks we give up um you know going to be putting us in decent situations for running the football and you know I just I almost like feel like in no lineman I'm like part of those guys I love I love those guys and I have a great relationship with them so uh when they succeed I love it Wes what's it like for a quarterback to deal with that many different centers you know what it's like when you're dealing with quarterbacks on quarterback running back exchanges mhm it's an intimate situation you know you got a guy bent over and you're all up in his mix but uh as far as beyond that there's the exchange itself when you're under Center and then most quarterbacks it's like just get me a snap that's right in that good region around my midsection so I can get my hands on it get my eyes downfield and get to reading this coverage as soon as possible so I think another big thing about centers is getting the rest of the old line on the same page a lot of times like who's going to be treated as the mic and who's blocking who is depend on on dependent on the center's calls so as long as the quarterback and Center are communicating well he knows that the center's relaying that to the old line and he's going to be protected so I think it's crucial and I would love for every old lineman to be able to play a few positions because injuries do happen but hats off the furling for for handling his Biz moving around and making things seem seamless cuz they're definitely not Logan furin in my opinion and I have a vote for this has got to be a CFL All-Star caliber lineman this year for sure West Division All-Star but the thing is where do you peg him it's probably going to be that Right Guard spot where he usually is but he's shown he can play tackle at a high level and he looked really good at Center last week coming up on the other side of these messages we'll go over to the defensive side of the football Dave Thomas goes one-on-one with rers defensive lineman Brian Cox JR this is

Rider radio network Justin dunk with you live from the downtown Regina Harvard Med media Studios excuse me Dave Thomas Luke Muller out in winipeg live getting ready to call this one at Princess Auto Stadium we'll go out to them around 2:00 for kickoff but Dave Thomas was able to catch up with Ruff Riders defensive end Brian Cox Jr for an exclusive one-on-one that focused at least to start on the backto back games with the Rival Winnipeg Blue Bombers I view it as another chance I mean we lost the one we just played obviously so we just have to use this one as a chance to get back on the on the good side what did you learn about your team and yourself in that last game against Winnipeg and the season thus far I I understand we got a group that won't quit um no matter how hard it gets you know we just got to Rally together we just got to find a way to finish the game and win talking with Luke Muller he consistently Praises you for the fact that you look much more comfortable and the game seems to be slower around you but you're going faster would you agree with that in your Evolution as a player this year oh yeah I'd say that I'm being my second year up here you know I had to get adjusted to the game up here it's a little bit different and I'm starting to get a little bit comfortable so I say that yeah five sacks so far this season obviously that's got to feel pretty good what's going right um just the guys around me doing what they're supposed to do I mean we're a unit so DBS have to cover we have to rush and then my other guys that rushing with me are all in their Lanes allowing me to get the quarterback obviously taking away Lanes is going to be a key again tomorrow against a running back like Brady Olivera it's not going to be easy to shut him down again but how do you do it uh we just play Team ball man we just everybody has an assignment everybody has a gap everybody has to do that to the best of their ability and we'll be all right now you're still a younger guy on this team there's been a lot of talk about cleaning up small mistakes that you can change the outcome is it as easy as that uh I believe so I believe we got the group to do it so I think it's just as you know simple as just cleaning up the small mistakes and just paying attention to the small details and finishing so when you watch those small details on film does it make you cringe do you see that and it's like oh not again or no uh i' I'd say yes to some degree it depends on if it's like a repeat offender or if it's the same mistake but often times I feel like it's just a bunch bunch of small little things that are different maybe from week to week that caus us to not you know complete the mission that was Dave Thomas one-on-one with Brian Cox Jr going into this game looking to slow down the bombers offense Zack Caris and Brady Olivera Wes you obviously were a great running back for the saskatch when we're off riders in Calgary San Peters as well when you look at Brady Olivera what's the key to at least kind of trying to throw him off balance a little bit and not getting running downhill yeah I think basically you have to Bas get him before he gets going he's a big back he he's got a a little bit of juice a little agility once he gets out into space and when you got those smaller guys trying to bring him down obviously it's a tougher task so these big boys up front just to just need to cancel gaps and make sure that they're making him bounce it and then guys have to Rally to the ball and make sure he doesn't get that corner but he's an athlete and hopefully they don't uh you know get the screen game going to him but just cancel that stuff out fly around and uh cancel gaps so so that he's not hitting it downhill gashing your defense he's having to bounce it and find room on the outside on the other side you'll hear from Trevor Harris channeling his inner Rocky mentality you're not going to want to miss this next this is thekat and Ruff Rider

writer Nation pregame show with Justin dunk Dave Thomas and Luke Moler on the Cooperators Ruff Rider radio network so your quarterback number seven Trevor Harris goes into Winnipeg for the Labor Day rematch channeling his inner Rocky mentality so out crowd hostile environment fans on top of them but Harris man he don't care he said he wants all the smoke up until probably the last couple years you know since I'm you 36 is you know I like playing you know with my and being able to see my wife and kids in the stands but like before that I always preferred Road games and I still love Road games with all my heart and uh you know some one of my lasting memories whenever I'm done playing will be uh when you throw the ball you let it go you get hit and you can't see if it was caught or not and just hearing the the collective from the crowd that just like to me is like the greatest feeling I just like love it it gives me chills like thinking about it and uh those are the sorts of things that are really fun uh during these type of environments and especially a game like tomorrow the Bano Bowl we know that it's going to be loud we're not going to be able to use our Cadence because the fans are going to be too loud for us to use it so um what more would you want you don't want to play in a road game with 8,000 people so this going to be all them against us but let's go like Rocky 4 in the hostile environment in Russia eye of the tiger man that's what I think of when I think of [Music] Rocky yeah you gotta love Rocky man I like that he had that con I'm still mad Apollo Creed died in that movie but I gotta love clubber Lane I I think Rocky 3 going up against Mr T clubber Lane that's my air I love that stuff good reference Trevor good reference I love the mentality man what I remember from the Rocky movies is him drinking raw eggs like I get that people do that but it just seems so slim I mean disgusting man got to do what you got to do you trying to you trying to get over the hump trying to win we got to get it let's go you Trevor Harris drank raw eggs before the game to get over the hump change it up he might have tried it once one one time he was like yeah this too too much dude I do agree with him I didn't play in the pros but the University of galf the sweetest sound was silence on the road when you hit him for a big touchdown you don't even have to say anything at that point man the crowd knows throw the hush face up yeah yeah it's good time it's hey I I like playing on the road too I I feel like hostile environments make you focus you kind of Zone in kind of cancel out the noise in your mind the only time it gets to you is when you're really trying to communicate and you can't hear but but you know like when everybody huddles up you can usually get a call out and everybody knows what they're doing but outside of that you just you know you know whatever the call is that's what we're going with we got to make it work let's get out here and get it done and like you said when you're in a loud environment and then you make a play that like quiets the fans on the road it's best feeling Cory mace Was preparing his team all week pumping in heavy crowd noise at mosaic stadium that you could hear in areas all around the stadium in Regina to go into this hostile environment at Princess Auto Stadium every team kind of prepares for hostile environments and you know this is certainly going to be that um but that's exciting you know that's that's part of what you love playing the game and being around the game for these guys to come out and play in a place where yeah not very many people are going to be fans of you so uh you know you got to be at your best and you know communication wise you try to prepare yourself through for that throughout the week uh but we have to be dialed in everything whether it's communication on the field on the sideline uh with our coaches on the phones etc etc uh to get the job done it'll be a sold out Princess audio Stadium over 30,000 screaming fans in there mostly going to be in blue and gold so mace has prepared his team for that atmosphere Wes when you're on a losing skid and you go on the road can that actually Galvanize the team together because you have to deal with all of those extra elements does it sharpen your focus I think it does for sure I mean it's it's kind of when when you win at home it's kind of expected and then you've got the fans behind you but when you go on the road and everybody's doubting you and you know the the spread says you're going to take a bu whipping the well this spread is close but you know the spread says you're going to lose everybody's rooting against you where you're at and then you go in there and you defy the odds literally yeah I mean it's going to Galvanize you and it should bring you together and and it's something to build off of so this is a great chance for the Riders to seize the opportunity indeed it is the riders for what it's worth two three and one on the season on the road but when these two teams get together you can throw the records out the window in what the bombers call the banjo Bowl Winnipeg is 12- s all time so even though lately it hasn't been a great outcome for the Riders when they go in there for this Labor Day rematch the Riders have actually got some wins in there Wes you know what it's like to go in there and get a win how can they get it done you just got to come out ready to go I mean it's going to be a situation where obviously there's going to be like the crowd's going to get L and they're try going to try to get into it early but you just gota like don't wait for somebody else to make the play you go make the play whether you're running down on kickoff or you got a block on kickoff return if the first play is to you go make that play Get Up talk in your trash but stay focused and get back and and line up ready to make the next one it's it's all about just being ready at the start and then just carrying that momentum it's it's the same game everybody's got to play by the same rules you just got a little bit of noise going against you and if you can block that out and just go Zone in which I think sometimes that that hater noise helps you Zone in then then it should be fine you just got to be ready from the start Cory M seems like he has his team ready in his commentary brought to you by Salon tires cars trucks or SUVs Salon tire has you covered like a championship winning Defense League leading value and performance you can count on the Riders looking to get a highlevel performance today in Winnipeg Wes I'll get you out on this 30 seconds or less how can Saskatchewan go in there and steal a win in Winnipeg yeah they've got to play mistake free football so the offense has to take care of it I mean Trevor's going to check if he's got to check down take the easy stuff take what the defense gives him all day fine this defense is great they're going to make some plays no bust on the back end and just just Relentless pressure get at the quarterback and and yeah Special Teams we got to clean up the airs mistake free football is going to get it done today

bombers the Wolves were out four games into the season with a team winless to start the campaign but the blue and gold said come and get it not willing to Flinch or turn their backs on the systems that have propelled them into the last four Labor Day games the bombers haven't exactly killed them with kindness but they're poised physically and execution has put them in the top spot in the division today these two Rivals wrap up their season series with the Victor getting a leg up in the battle for playoff spots and a nice souvenir when the final gun sounds as we get set for this afternoon's national anthem from Princess Auto Stadium ch 20 [Applause] a [Applause] Oh Canada our home and native land true p love in all of us command with glowing Hearts we see the rise the true north strong and [Music] free from far and wide Oh Canada we stand on guard for thee [Music] God keep our land glorious and free Oh Canada we stand on guard for thee Oh Canada we stand on God for well a wonderful tribute to a late member of the Manitoba Grand Council before today's Anthem here at a beautiful sun soaked all of a sudden Princess Oto stadium in the Manitoba Capital Dave Thomas and Luke Muller getting set of course the Rough Riders come in looking for a much needed Victory to break up a six-game winless route which of course is much advertised and much talked about and close only counts in Gren Gren ades and manure fights I've been told and with the riders in those six games only having a point differential of four it hurts but it's got to change and it's got to change quickly it's got to change quickly and again we talked about it in the pregame show the Saskatchewan Rough Riders have a lot of good things that are lining up for them in order to get into this playoff picture not saying they're out of it right now but the fact that the five of the last six opponents that they face our Western Conference opponents allows for two things you can keep your fade in your hands and as we all know this final third part of the year is all about getting in that frame of mind and playing your best level of football but as you stated Dave things have got to turn around now they've got to turn around quickly and it's going to go a long way if the saskatch Ruff Riders can just find a way to grasp some consistency and finally make the plays that have been in front of them that they've been missing out on and have been causing them to fall into the loss column so referee Ben major is assembled at center field for the coin toss for Quality Tire with nine locations across the skatch one Quality Tire dotca it is won by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers who have chosen to defer as there is a bit of a breeze coming into Princess Auto Stadium it will be from the right to left as we see it here Luke or from the South End Zone here in Winnipeg so it it shouldn't be a huge Factor but it is enough that it will affect definitely the punting game if those kicks get up above the lower blls so that will be a factor well that and the crowd noise right you and I were talking a little bit about it today when we got in the building is Princess Auto Stadium it's almost like a car garage as a matter of fact because they've got these huge metal just sort of shingles that that flow across the sides of both Grand stands and the sound just reverberates off them and travels back down so you've got a number of factors against you if you're the Saskatchewan Rough Riders today so the Rough Riders are going to defend the North End Zone or the end zone to the left as we see it here at Princess Auto Stadium they are going to receive the opening kickoff as they'll send Thomas bertr udon along with Mario Alford back inside their 20 yard line to take this kickoff from Sergio Castillo who averages 68.7 yards per kick for the 8-year Pro out of West Texas A&M as he'll put the ball down on the 30 yd line just beyond the leftand hash as he's put it about a yard towards the middle of the field as the crowd is going to come to life and the Riders are going to get the ball to start the football game it's a Labor Day rematch cards are on the table Belly Up folks we got three hours of fun coming your way and it starts off the foot of Castillo who will kick it to Mario Alfred who will take it back at his nine yd line here on the near side of the football field he'll dance up towards the 20 to the 25 going to be brought down there right in front of our broadcast location getting downfield to make the tackle was Tanner CAD Waller and it'll be first and 10 for the ssanu and Rough Riders offense as they come out onto the field for the first time CAD Waller is one of the guys in their depth and that's one of the things that makes this blue bomber Squad so good they've got such great depth and they're so well coached at the Special Teams level Ryder New Look offensive line will have Logan furland at center today no AER and Nick Jones are the guards trayon Tate and Trevor Reed are the tackles it's first and 10 for the Riders right hand hash Harris in the gun on first down signals his receivers to the line fakes a handoff swings it out near side to a Joe a Joe he's got it will carry a man up beyond the 30 to the 32 yd line for a nice gain on first down for the green and white one of the things that Darion Durant said when we had an opportunity to call the game with him last week is if he's in Trevor Harrison's shoes he talks about just going and getting first downs well I'll tell you what you can continue if you continue to get six yards on the first downs that they just did there they're going to put them themselves in a great position to come out on top today a Jo Joe is number two in the CFL when it comes to yards per reception averaging 17.8 he'll get six there it'll be second and four sukatan on their own 32 yd line backfield empties for Harris swings it out Far Side Frankie hixon's got it and has some room to run on the far sideline finally forced out of bounds up around the 52 of Saskatchewan but a big baz and agency's first down for the Riders it's good job by the saskatch and Rough Riders we get a mismatch here when it comes to hickon going into the flat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Tony Jones doesn't go with them and the reason why you get more yardage on that is because he's got five yards of space between him and the first Defender when he does get the ball it's a good start from saskat one ball now on the left hand hash for the Riders on their own 52 it's first and 10 after the bendowski agents first down five receivers set Harris back to pass swings it out Far Side once again it's complete to a Joe a Joe but up to make the tackle right away was reic cramy and it'll be a minimal gain on first down we talked about one of the key games being linebacker play for both teams and I thought Raa KY last week had a great game here he starts off with a defensive tackle you get a joa Joo out into the flat really nothing available past a joa Joo there so only thing Trevor Harris had to throw they're going to mark it as a loss of one second and 11 now sasan on their 51 left hand has three receivers Far Side for Trevor Harris snap dribbles back to him picks it up off the turf and that timing is off and it's incomplete intended for Samuel emis but the snap didn't get to Harris from Logan furland who Taps him on the shoulders says my bad on their way off the field yeah you got to feel for Logan furland nothing's his bad today I mean he's played every single spot this is a a a simply a dig route coming back in towards the problem with emilis and the reason that they couldn't connect with Harris after he picked up the ball was emess floated up a bit oh now cor's punt is brocked by Willie Harris bombers have it at Midfield returning it back to the rider 50 down to the 43 yd line before finally making the tackle there for the green and white was Jordan Herdman Reed but it's going to be wiip play football when we come back blocked punt 1235 live to go bombers will have it in Saskatchewan territory this is Ruff Rider football on the 620 CKRM Cooperators Ruff Rider radio network your

radio network posession of Zack Clos start on your side of the 50 is is tough absolutely and the Riders will have to defend from 43 yards in there's 1235 to go in the opening quarter it's going to be first and 10 for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at the sascu and 43 on the right hand has for Zach Kos who again after leaving the game due to precautionary reasons or prior to doing so was 12 of 18 for 218 yards one week ago on the seasons completed 67.5% of his passes I know he like that number higher the number that he does want to get back though are the 13 interceptions that he's thrown but when you couple that with 7 TD he seems to be on the right Trend yeah and I think that Winnipeg has just been getting better game after game after their slow start so first and 10 for the bombers two receivers come in motion to the near side of the field there's an extra tight end along the offensive line for Kos who's back to pass here comes the rush and getting home it's once again Brian Cox Jr Malik Carney both there big sack for quill Plains and the Riders to start the football game the Riders get an opportunity the pass rush with four defensive lineman on the first snap Winnipeg is in shotgun formation and neither defensive end Carney or Brian Cox Jr is worried about the run here they get great get off on the snap and bend the corner they they essentially meet at Zack keros at the same time now it's second and 14 long field ahead here for the bombers five receivers set keros back to pass has three to the near side dumps it underneath the Olivera gets away from Rivas but then he's wrapped up by Marcus also Roland Milligan Jr come in to make the tackle up around the 37 38 yd line of the Riders still well short of the first down yeah and Castillo's going to come out here and if you're running to the sideline as a defensive player right now all the offensive guys in green and white are going to be saying hey great job that is a huge win for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders you get some tough news on the break they start The Possession on your side of the 50 and you hold them to a two and out and a field goal attempt from 46 that's a huge win for the Riders Castillo 36 of 43 on the year he's nailed more 60-yard field goals than anyone in CFL history this season from 46 puts his boot to it and the end over Ender sales through the uprights the bombers open the Labor

susuan Ru Rider football on the home of Rider Nation the 620 CKRM Cooperators Ruff Rider radio network SM themselves together after such a brutal start well Tyrell Ford's fifth interception of the season and like you said five defensive tackles last week so the bombers are set up nicely inside Ruff Rider territory yet again they'll scrimmage first and 10 at the Riders 40 yd line and they came out with their first snap as a pass looks like here they're going to run the ball so in the gun is Zach Cero's going to hand it off to Brady Oliva goes to his right he'll be met by Adam oair but not before he gains 78 yards up near the Saskatchewan 32 yd Line Eric Lofton played a few snaps for the Saskatchewan Ruff Riders here he works with returning guard Patty newfeld on the right side and it's a good job of Brady Olivera just attacking downhill he starts going east west but then plants his outside foot gets back downhill and he's such a tough Runner he manages to get them nine yards and again this is one of those situations where the bombers excel in they love these short yardage opportunities and it is going to be an extremely short yardage opportunity as we got some problems with one of the members of the Chain Gang just down in front of us is yeah uh he's well you you got to have your head on a swivel out there uh when you're on the sideline right and unfortunately he just I don't think the CFL ref or sideline guy saw it coming and in the wake of all the disaster is also one of those cardboard cutouts with the the sponsors logos on them so second and short for the bombers trer into the game delayed snap ryers get a good push but it was only a yard and strer should have it yeah strer Falls forward and he's going to get this I felt like it was a little bit better job with the pad level there but as you stated Dave it's second and about a millimeter wasn't that far to go and keros checks back in first and 10 for the bombers at the Saskatchewan 30 yd line 9917 to go in the opening quarter Winnipeg leading three nothing first Rider possession ended in a punt block second one was an interception by Harris this is the third opportunity for keros and his offense fakes a handoff now back to throw throws it out Far Side that's complete maybe for a yard potentially two great coverage there by the Riders stopping the play in its tracks as it was Kenny Lawler on the far side that hauled it in well you got the Run pass option look and Brian Cox Jr has been playing these a lot better as of late he stays on the line of scrimmage doesn't get sucked down in on the Run fake and that enables him to just explode up field when Zack keros keeps the ball and goes to his right then it's a good job by Marcus just recognizing the action in front of him he sees the receiver in the flat and goes and cancels it out great job on first down and now we've got an injury with Malik Carney taking an e at his own 30 of course injuries for work safe sukatan workplace and health and safety is everyone's responsibility let's make Saskatchewan workplaces the safest in Canada so Malik Carney is going to get some assistance again at his own 31 yd line or so and that really plays into the fact that the bombers are depleted or the Riders pardon me are depleted along the defensive line and their rotations are going to be affected well you've got habac baldonado and you're right they are depleted they've been into their in fortunately not as bad as the offensive line but you've got habab baldonado who's played really well in spots I love the work the the work motor he's got you've got Caleb Evans who's slowly coming along and Lake Corte Moore I mean when the Saskatchewan Rough Riders winning he was getting a ton of playing time we haven't seen him out there as much as of late but obviously when a guy like scoop goes down he had five T defensive tackles in the Labor Day classic last week you're going to need to pull your bootstraps up go to work I tell you how about baldonado you look at the frame the man has 65260 in his second year out of Pittsburgh of course seven defensive tackles a special teams tackle and a knockdown thus far this year get him on theer playing teams he'll here but it's CB Sanders miles Brown that'll move outside here Micah Johnson stays in the middle for the Riders on what will be a second and eight for the bombers from the sasan 28 yd lines yeah and in this spot especially when it is second and eight again our second key of the game is know your opponent right you've got to understand where Nick dempy is right now right especially if he especially if in and around The Tackle Box right he's they usually work him into the flats they might go with an out and up on them but you got to understand where number 10 is here at all times so second and eight coming up for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers we've got a bit of a delay here in the stadium as Malik Carney has been helped off the field onto the rider sideline I didn't see the injury tent go up so hopefully that's a good sign as there is an injury tent here in Winnipeg they also have the air conditioners going on the sideline but as I look right now it's Malik Carney discussing what ails him with Greg Mayer across the way on the Rough Rider bench here at Princess Auto stadium so they're about to whistle play back in again it will be second and eight for Winnipeg from the saskat 28 yd line as they break huddle 839 and counting to go in the opening quarter Winnipeg leading 3 nothing it's a five receiver set for the bombers three to The Far Side Riders load up the line and show Blitz by rushing five Kos reads it dumps it underneath that's complete to Brady Olivera makes a man miss to the 25 20 of Saskatchewan down to the 10 yd line before finally tackled by jir Thurman who gives him an extra shot on the way up and a flag comes out as there's some tension and emotion between these teams yeah and that one's going to hurt the riders or hurt is probably an understatement here so the Riders actually do a good job they throw six they show six and they only bring for it but nobody after the play we have a misconduct foul to scatch one number six will go up half the distance it's going to be first down for Winnipeg nobody really sees Brady Olivera slip out just to the left of his left tackle and zachos waits it out nobody's available downfield so zachos Waits it out gets it do of and here's the key you got to do more than one arm tackle this guy he walks right through the one-arm tackle and now with the penalty they're on the five first and goal for the bombers inside the Windsor Plywood Red Zone Ball's on the left hand hash of The Quiet comes to to a hush as the bombers approach the line Olivera the lone back in the back field three receivers go to The Far Side of the formation for Winnipeg who's got an extra offensive line in handoff goes to Olivera gets across the five down near the three pile keeps shifting but the Riders do well to hold it there and second and goal coming up for the bombers from the Rider two well again know your opponent right so the bombers who are known to throw an extra offensive lineman in here they bring him into the set and what if the Riders counter with it with a double eagle look which is essentially five down offensive lineman and with one over top of the center that way you're able to cancel more gaps um initially on the line of scrimmage now they check strer in so you've got a myriad of options here with strer you can just go straight forward or you can try to get to the edges or maybe come with a QB option backfield empties for strer second and two he'll go to his left pushes behind the o line and finds the end zone bombers get into the end zone first in the Labor Day rematch and it's Chris Scribbler with his League leading 10th touchdown of the Season yeah no surprise here I mean we only had two yards and they're so good in these situations we actually do a little bit better with the pad level initially here but unfortunately the bombers do even better with pad level guys are getting knocked back none of our linebackers are able to stay on the line of scrimmage that equates to being down nine in this first quarter possibly 10 with this convert point after attempt to come Castillo lines it up kick is up splits the uprights and it's 10 nothing Winnipeg early on 658 still to go here in the opening quarter we'll take another break from Princess Auto Stadium this is saskat Ruff Rider football the 620 CKRM Cooperators Ru Rider radio network it's another summer road trip when you pack up the family car with picnic baskets blankets toys and your dog Roy there's one thing you may be forgetting make sure you have tires that are ready to

for this Milestone one that's only possible thanks to the people of Saskatchewan nutrient from saskat into the world for 65 years nutri.com celebrating 65 so scheduling Rough Rider football on the home of Rider Nation the 620 CKRM Cooperators Ruff Rider radio [Music] network all right we're back here at Princess Auto Stadium again our great team is doing a good job to keep us on the air back in Regina and of course cross the skatan so does that mean they missed my fantastic analysis of the plane I it might have a that's a podcast waiting to happen yeah okay Riders are on the field now after a return from Mario Alford the ball is at the 34 yd line of the Riders handoff first down to Frankie Hixon gets across the 35 up near the 39 yd line it'll be a gain of five second and five upcoming for the Riders Frankie Hixon had one of his receivers in a queen set so a wing set and he went across the formation I think it was Kean Johnson but whoever it was no it was um number 80 a Joo a Joo the reason I bring it up is if Hixon had followed a joa jooe across the formation he would have had a lot more room instead he started out and just went north south right away it was like he was just pressing a little bit too hard if he had followed a joa Joe there would have been lots more room so 557 second and five for the Riders Harris looking to find someone slings it underneath for kesan Johnson he'll have a first down for Cooperators bendowski Insurance and a big one for the Riders up near their 49 listen again we think we talked about it three of the five starting linemen for the O for the Riders weren't even on this roster about a month ago here they've held up well giving time for Trevor har Harris to get through all of his progressions finally finds kesan Johnson his last resort coming across the middle at about 5 yards and they convert first and 10 Riders ball on the Santan 49 yd line right hand hash extra bodies in along the offensive line Hickson the loone back in the back field fake the hand off now swing it Far Side that incomplete Willie Jefferson may have got a hand on it at the line of scrimmage it was intended for Johnson on the far side second down coming up for the Riders Willie Jefferson I mean we talk about his athleticism but he's got such great football IQ he really knows what that quarterback's thinking here he predicts that Trevor Harris off this three-step drop is going to throw it right away he stops his Rush gets his hands in the air second and 10 Riders ball right hand hash three receivers now four go to The Far Side of the formation for Harris who signals them to the line in the deafening noise snap back from perland is a good one Harris back to pass has time looks up over the top has Bane Jr he's got it down to the 10 yd line of Winnipeg Shawn Bane Jr big reception for the Riders on second and long and has got them set up in the Windsor Plywood Red Zone again the protection is awesome Trevor Harris such patience he's watching emis all the way down here as emis goes through the numbers to the hash on the left side just gets up the seam between the two safeties and reels it in that's what we're talking about Dave what do we talk about make the play right when it comes to you catch the football good job by the Riders Samuel emilis on the reception for the Riders pardon me on that it's first and 10 for the Riders just outside the bomber 10 yd line first down handoff goes to Frankie Hixon no room there Jamal Woods Jake Thomas squeeze off the Gap in the inside of the line and it'll be second down for the Riders yeah I'm not sure what the scatch r Riders are trying to accomplish here with the run I think that you're in that sort of no need Zone on the 10 yd line you've got 30 yards of end zone or S 30 yards of real estate to cross the end zone you got a 20-yard back um touchdown area throw the football on first down there so second and goal from the nine three receivers four to The Far Side for Trevor Harris he's back to pass fields the pressure scrambles near side looking Endzone touchdown Riders Kean Johnson four touchdowns four games Riders on the board it's a great job by Harris Harris gets flushed out of the pocket he comes right now the thing that you love about this is that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are actually used to seeing him use his legs a little bit from last week so he gets to the outside because there's no contained man as he floats to his right he's got one option to the corner but he just sits there and waits for kesan Johnson to settle into the space between the defensive backs and underneath the linebackers good patience good execution good job by the Riders they're looking like to convert this and they got seven so it'll be 107 Lo's kick is through the uprights and indeed it is 10-7 with 303 to go here in the opening quarter affiliate stations we are experiencing some technical difficulties here in Winnipeg we will stay with you until quarter time so with 303 to go I would suggest one of the most important drives of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders season of course touchdown drives for Nelson GM and a ciny at a Le they'll find a vehicle to match your lifestyle proudly serving Southern Saskatchewan for over 65 years but boy that was a critical drive for the Riders to answer yeah you're absolutely right cuz you're down 10 and it seems like the bombers are getting some momentum they've got an answer for the things that you've done thus far so you needed some type of points coming out of there and uh that was a spectacular drive and more importantly we talked about one of the keys to the game the most important one was make the play right when it has had like we seen too much inconsistency especially in that receiving Court dropping balls that you know can extend the sticks here they make no mistakes any you know in any part of that drive and it's the reason why they get to register a touchdown so the Riders will kick it off again now trailing by three here in the Labor Day rematch with 303 three to go in the opening quarter sold out Princess Auto Stadium here in Manitoba as the cloud has started to take over a little bit but for Trevor Harris that last touchdown pass was his 14th of the season and Harris in today's football game has got an opportunity at history as he's now six of nine for 96 yards which means for Trevor Harris he has just surpassed Daren Durant and moved into 16th all time in the CFL passing yards list he only needed 7 1 yards to do it and now being six of n for 96 yards congratulations to Trevor Harris for accomplishing the Milestone well and when we listened to Durant yes last week excuse me uh during our call you heard the respect and admiration that number four had for Trevor Harris right and uh the way he talked about his cerebral approach so um two great quarterbacks now side by side on the history list hopefully one of these quarterbacks can continue to play well here today well Z keros also is right behind as he came into the game needing 440 yards to Eclipse Daren and Trevor Harris well the problem with the 440 is that Zach is completely capable of throwing that in one yeah isn't that true as the kick off by lther is taken by Lucky Whitehead just inside his 20 yd line comes up the near side going to be met at about the 39 Jackson Ford came flying in not sure how much of a piece of Whitehead he got but for the first time in the foot ball game the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will start a drive from inside their own territory at the 39 yd line yeah this seems so far back comparative to where they've started the first couple drives see Stanley Bryant and a couple legendary offensive linemen stalking the sidelines you know that they wish they could be in this game we're thankful that they're not ah but happy that again it was such a scary incident with Stanley Bryant it's great to see that he's engaged and mobile as they'll fake a hand off to dempy Kos rolls full side looking to load it up ac across the far side and it's incomplete intended for wall Atari he was in an epic battle with Marcus Sals fans want a flag none forthcoming it'll be second down after the incompletion yeah I don't think W Atari and keros are on the same page here keros is expecting him to go deep lake Corte Moore is the reason why this play even has a chance he loses contain as the edge player on the left side but W lari stopped short Z Kos is launching it and wellars goes back to the Huddle saying hey man my bad you're not going to get any of the 404 you need in that play yeah Corte Moore into the game for Malik Carney who was shaken up earlier it's now second and 10 for the bombers at their own 39 220 and counting to go in the quarter keros calls out the Cadence now back to pass looking near side dumps it underneath the olera once again he'll get up across the 45 near the first down before being wrestled down by Jamir Thurman but indeed he'll move the sticks well one of the things that you're seeing right away from but Pierce at the beginning of this game in the first quarter is they said Hey listen they did a great job against the Run game last week let's loosen them up a bit hey Oliva if there's nobody to block leak out give Zack keros one more option and when he's leaked out the last couple times Z ceros has found him so e e e e e e e e e

McDougall auctioneers where your guarant the best buying and selling experience theal auction.com and now the second quarter on the 620 CKRM Cooperators Ru Rider Radio [Applause] Network e e e e scrimmage detached from him usually he's usually really good at just staying as close as possible to the butts of his offensive lineman in these short yarded situations but because he created some separation that's where the Riders had the opportunity here's they're going to probably go for it again yeah third and short now from their own 48 yd line the bombers on Third and short are fifth in the league and again strer runs into the line the Riders throw him back but he'll be close to a first down pending the spot he needed just shy of the actual 50 yd line and that's where the officials foot is but Ben major waste no time signals first down and the bombers will get a clean SL set and going to leave Chris strer in at quarterback as Zach KERO stays on the sideline yeah so obviously with shev in the game and here's a big thing for Tendencies right not only did they keep strer in they put their extra offensive lineman Eli aoui into the football game as a tight end so this is a run heavy look ball right at the bomber 49 yd line back to passes Str trying to roll out near side pressure comes he'll throw it as Flags come down as he takes a hit from Nelson L combo he was looking deep for Nick demsky we'll wait to see what the flags are it's incomplete though well it'll be pass interference I think on habab baldonado uh who just essentially grabs the slot by by the throat this is a good play um by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers it turns into a little pseudo shot double pass to the right of strer and Hab baldonado who sees the wide receiver come across his face sc one number 95 yeah the 10yd penalty makes it a first down for winipeg just grabs I think it was wall Atari as he was trying to break into the flat to either get the ball shoveled to him from strer or to just add to the blocking surface sorry it's Brady Oliva here who just comes across and I don't blame bald for for grabbing ol there you just got to I mean you're allowed to get away with probably like a a hit if you knock him off track you just can't you just can't grab but I don't blame him for playing him because he knew first and 10 bombers ball on the rider 51 handed off to Ola he's met by baldonado who got into the backfield quickly also right there Caleb Sanders and there's not much gaining there for Brady Olivera we talk about Caleb Sanders he's playing a little bit better with the more reps that he gets and here he he just plays on the other side of the line scrimmage getss out of his hips early he's able to separate himself from Left Right Guard Patty Newman and gets in on Ola all those big backs Dave if you hit them early that's the key right you got to hit them early hit them often second and 10 for the bombers now on the left hand hash at the rider 51 yd line five receivers set for the bombers three near side keros back to pass feels the pressure dumps it off underneath to Oliva makes a man miss stays on his feet inside the 40 of s skatan for a first down yeah this is heartbreaking because Saskatchewan's doing everything right the fact that they continue to go to Oliva it's a win-lose situation right you're forcing it to Olivera which is a win because it means your coverage is doing really well against some talented receivers but the problem is again Ola is leaking out he's he's figuring out okay do I have to block someone do are they bringing pressure if not I'm gonna skate and every time he skated so far Zack Clos has found him first and 10 bombers at the Saskatchewan 40 yd line back to pass is Kos on first down fires it over the middle it's complete down inside the 20 yd line nice catch there by the bombers and a first down for wall Atari who's met by Nick demsky pardon me and a big chain mover for the bombers who are in business damsky lines up on the right on the numbers and runs a quick skinny post right between those numbers in the hash on the right and Zach Clos is right on the money he's got time to throw dempy catches it between the hash marks and the bombers continue their offensive momentum 10 minutes to go in the second quarter Winnipeg leading sasan in 10 to7 ball is first and 10 for the bombers at the rer 17 yd line inside the Windsor Plywood Red Zone Kos is in the gun receivers approach the line he'll hand it off to to Oliva he's tackled in the back field as Micah Johnson got the first arms on him and yeah olera not going to have much room to run yeah you were rolling with your play-by-play and I but I was going to say hey here comes the run and and the reason why you knew it was coming is is they they bomed with their receivers early did the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Micah Johnson keyed on it and he didn't even bother messing with the actual def offensive lineman he just he just swam the old linean got into the back field and disrupted the whole play unfortunately Patty newfeld has gotten the best of that play someone rolled up on his back leg um making the tackle and and and newfell who just got back into the lineup is down again we'll take a time out of course injuries this season brought to you by work safe Saskatchewan there's 920 to go in the second quarter Winnipeg leading Saskatchewan 107

online at ryers 50.cal even here on the road 74639 to blow all of the winnings on buying like a go solid gold t-shirt saying I won the rider 50/50 oh it was going that's where it was going yeah second and 10 for the bombers as we resume Patrick newfeld makes his way to the sideline under his own steam ball on the right hand hash for Kos back to pass his time looking into the end zone he's got a man but it's going to be overthrown an incomplete looking for Wilson who runs into the sidelines in a heck of a collision as the two players ran out of turf right in the end zone to our right Cory Mays has a real tough challenge here in front of him and the reason I say that is the Riders aren't getting much pressure on keros rushing forward they're trying a bunch of stunts the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive line they're sifting through them and playing their stunts well and the here's the challenge with mace it's like hey do I send send my strong side Blitz do I send right my weak side right like but they're so good and more importantly Kos is so good at seeing those blitzes that you get the feeling that mace is just sort of in in a no- win situation right I Blitz he's probably going to find the outlet shoot he's finding the outlet even when we don't Blitz right and if I stay in Rush four Zack claros is just has all day to throw so Castillo is on after the incompletion on second down this is a 26- yd attempt that you can hear goes through the uprights and the Riders now Trail by six after that field goal but again with everything that's transpired the Riders have sh some character now they need to find yet another bounceback Drive yeah they're showing some character but that's the problem right is is you feel like the bombers offensively are now have are now in in just full momentum mode right they're just doing whatever they they want to get down field and you don't get the feeling that the Riders are able to keep Pace with that right we're able to string a couple drives here and there but the bombers they've just got this wave about them right now that's almost impossible to slow down whereas the Riders you sit there and you say man we we just need these drives right we need to keep the momentum and that's a tough thing against a really good defense and and I get a feeling that it's a defense that knows right now that the Riders are one turnover or one bad play away from starting to real we're going to take a break 842 to go in the second quarter the Winnipeg Blue Bombers leading the Riders 13 to7 this is Santan Rough Rider football in the 620 C

Frankie Hixon who cuts to the left and gets across the 45 before being tackled it'll be second in medium for the Riders good job by Evan home here from the bombers he is the strong side halfback and he adds himself self on the end of the line of scrimmage at the last minute taking Frankie hickon out at the legs you know the other problem with the Riders right now is you get the feeling that if you don't get the Run game going here you're going to get behind in the scoreboard to where it's not even going to be an option for you second down and five for the Riders on their own 45 yd line 8 minutes to go in the second quarter Winnipeg leading 13 to7 Harris calls his receivers to the line on a silent count he's back to pass pumps once now underneath that's complete to Kean shaer Baker who spins to the outside up to Midfield to the 50 of Winnipeg forced out of bounds there as he'll take a hit as he steps out of bound by Michael Griffin but it is a big bendowski agency's first down for K and schaer Baker well this is such a good play from ksb scha and bake is to the right of Trevor Harris between the numbers of the hash he cuts in at about 5 yards and as soon as he gets the ball he realizes the momentum of all the defensive backs is traveling inwards Cuts outside on a dime gets to the first down marker and more good job by one of our big Playmakers number 89 ball on the Winnipeg side of 70 on the on the Winnipeg side of Center on the 51 of the bombers Harris on first down hands off to Hixon he'll go to his right gets across the 50 down around the 48 gain of about three yeah and I really feel like if Hixon follows his lead Blocker in this case it's Ken Schaefer Baker there's a lot more room for him on the left side but it just feels like he makes a Prem premature cut excuse me and chooses the right side right away and that sticks the riders in a second seven situation ball is on the Winnipeg 48 yd line right hand hash Harrison the gun sends three receivers and a Joe Shawn Bane Jr and emilis to The Far Side Kean Schaefer Baker and kesan Johnson on the near bombers show Blitz only going to rush three though Harris slings it Far Side that's complete emilis has it up around the 43 of Winnipeg he needed the 41 for the first down and it looks like Brett lther is going to be called upon for a long field goal attempt yeah you know and I don't like this I think the the Riders should go for it I over the last couple year weeks excuse me I've said that I feel like if I'm the head coach which I'm not by the way um I would be going for it in these third and short situations with the way lther has been kicking the ball if he can find some consistency I'm fine with it but this is a makeable down I think that the offense should be on for 50yd attempt for Brett lather it's on the right hand hash lucky Whitehead in the returning position in the end zone good snap back Lo's kick end over end through the upright he's money yeah hey color commentator shut the hell up I'm going to kick this that would have been good from 65 great job 12 Reliance Heath water heater rentals bring you field goals all season long serving Southern Saskatchewan for over 50

football on the home of Rider Nation the 620 CKRM Cooperators Ruff Rider radio network stats are brought to you by Opa suaki Zack Kos and the bombers offense coming back onto the field after the successful Brett lther TW uh field goal pardon me Kos a seven of 10 for 79 yards as far as Brady Olivera getting some yards on the ground five carries already for 21 last week he had 12 runs for just 42 yards yards yeah so he's essentially halfway to where he was last week but it hasn't been the Run game that they've relied on olera for he's done a great job of assessing hey are the saskat Rough Riders sending a little bit more pressure than our offensive line is able to handle and if the answer has been no he's just found spots to the left and the right of his offensive tackles and keros has waited it out because the coverage has been good and found him for major Downs yeah four yards for 51 or four receptions for 51 is the handoff under e to Lucky Whitehead trying to get around the corner great job there by Marcus sails as well as Demarcus Fields coming up to stop that in its tracks maybe a gain of one for Whitehead on the carry it'll be second and Long Winter peg this is a great read and good job in the film room here by the ryer defensive side every time you see a gadget guy and a punt returner like lucky Whitehead in the game you know that there's a high likelihood of being him or him being involved in the play in some way shape or form Fields plays this perfectly he sees him from The Far Side coming across the formation adds himself to the edge and makes a tackle second down and nine for the bombers on their own 41 yd line 520 to go in the second quarter bombers in front of the Riders 13 to1 Riders show Blitz all kinds of pre- snap movement Micah Johnson pointing right at the center we'll wait to see what the penalty assess is you got Colin Kowski Liam Dobson Patty new fell down their back and one of them jumped I think it was Dobson first Jamir Thurman shaking his finger right now as Ben major shorts sorts this out pardon me with his officiating crew Hey listen you got to do everything you can to convince the rest for making the right call number 64 it's a 5yd penalty it's still second down so it's the left guard Liam Dobson Luke that takes the penalty good to see Patty newfeld back in the game though yeah hey by the way Saskatchewan we love hearing from you I understand that 40% of the crop is in the bin which is Sensational and we wish you a safe and happy harvest if you're out there hit us up on the BNA petroleum text line of course you can weigh in have your saying more at 3069 3662 62 it's third second and 14 here for the bombers as keros empty backfield back to pass he'll Flinch once now he'll drop it underneath to demsky he'll get across the 40 near the 41 which was almost the initial line of scrimmage it should bring up a third down and here comes the punter Jameson Shen for the winnter Pig Blue Bombers well this is all Micah Johnson the Riders Rush three because it's second and 14 the Rough Riders Rush three here sorry second and 12 and Micah Johnson who's in the middle as the nose tackle just walks right through the garden center double team and forces Kos to throw it early he doesn't want to go to demsky here demsky sitting at like five yards he wants to wait for his receivers to get open and he can't because Micah Johnson looks like a train just coming directly at him so Shen will stand at his 27 yd line to punt this one away into what little win there is here at Princess Auto Stadium Mario Alford back at his 20 yd line clean snap sh's punts a good one it's going to spiral right down to Alfred at is 24 he'll cut towards the middle but then tries to cut back and he's met right there good downfield coverage Michael Griffin makes the play for the bombers in a long field for Trevor Harris and the ryer offense Who come out with 404 to go here in the second quarter that's the thing I know we talk about three keys to the game for the Catu and Rough Riders but you also have to figure that the Blue Bombers every game go into their opponents with with a few things that they want to do to keep the other team from Gaining momentum and one of them is always Hey listen we got to make sure that number two doesn't have an impact on the football game volume comes up here at Princess Auto Stadium on first down for the Riders at their own 28 left-and hash is where the ball is spotted for the Riders who send out five receivers into formation three to this near side Harris in the shotgun going to fake the handoff now going to Sprint it near side it was intended for emilis he took a shot at the end of the play as Willie Jefferson didn't bite on the fake there are flags though down on the far side of the field we were offside we're with procedure you name it we did it in that play there you go number 15 down so it'll be a second down and 10 now after the incompletion for the Riders 342 to go before half trailing by three here in the Labor Day rematch going to be interesting to see if Richie Hall or sorry um Jordan younger dials up some here it looks like a three-man front initially there's going to be someone to add no they're going to stay with three here Harris back to pass Here Comes extra blocking to his left Harris has time steps up in the pocket looking downfield swings it Far Side that's complete up near the 35 diving ahead is the receiver but nothing doing when it comes to stretching out and extending for Frankie Hixon he'll be shy the first down and it'll be a kicking situation for the does a good job moving around the pocket adj adjusting the launch point but just there's nobody available down field the Winnipeg secondary is glued to every single wide receiver like white on right and he's got to throw it to the flat there's nothing there punt situation corack an end over Ender that'll take a bounce Saskatchewan's way down to the 26 where lucky white has has it for the Riders but good downfield coverage Riders get there in a hurry and a nice job there by the riders in Jordan Herdman Reed to come up with the tackle down at the bomber 30 as

bombers will have the ball 247 to go before halftime at their 30 yd line and an opportunity for both teams to make a statement Luke going into half time you said it best critical stand here for the Saskatchewan Rough Riders again we haven't seen much pressure I think that eventually especially if this drive gets going here and they manage to get a first down or two you've got to start thinking about it at some point do you get there with pressure faster than keros is able to get it to the receiver he needs to go to bik Carney the four-year Pro still not back in the lineup for the Riders they put baldonado and Corte Moore on either side of the defensive line it's first down for Winnipeg four receivers set dempy in motion fake the handoff swing it far side and it's incomplete it was a wide receiver screen for Ontario Wilson and Clos just threw it about four yards in front of him yeah and even if they had connected on this Roland Milligan had already blown up the play him and Deontay Williams are over there on the short side side working together and there was no way that the receiver was going to get anywhere if they did catch the ball as a matter of fact probably would have been a loss of two so Manitoba fortunate yeah and I said Manitoba to uh to not catch the ball that time second and 10 for the bombers 226 to go here in the second quarter balls on their 30 yd line three receivers Far Side lots of pre- snap motion no Flags ball dumped underneath to wall Atari and he'll have a first down beyond the 40 up near the 41 CJ Rivas in coverage as well the tackle made on the play by Adam oair who came across and W Atari is slow to get up yeah W Atari slow to get up but here's where I talk about the blitz right you rush three and dedicated the majority of your staff on the field to coverage there and they still manag to find someone coming across the middle for a first down so if that's the case why don't we just incorporate some Blitz and take some chances in a critical place of the game because I'd really like to see the Riders get the ball back here but if the bombers come and just sort of nonchalantly walk down the field here and kill all the time you're not going to be able to do and I think that that's probably one area with Cory mace that can be improved the most is his ability to get his teams to finish the first half specifically well here's the the converse side of that conversation the the coin flip if you will is the fact that the Riders last week gave up two 40 plus yard receptions the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in big play offensive gains over 30 yards are fourth in the Canadian Football League they allow 22 the Riders are eighth they've given up 25 thus far this season as W Atari makes his way off the field yeah but so but here's the other so the converse to the converse right is that we're also not coming anywhere close to the turnovers that this defense relies on the way we're playing at the moment right true it will be a first down for the bombers at their 42 yd line as play is whistled in 215 and counting to go in the second quarter Winnipeg up by three it's 13-10 Ryder's going to show three now four down linemen five receivers set for Zach Kos who's in the shotgun formation Ryder is going to bring the blitz handoff goes to Olivera who crashes through the line up across the 45 near the 46 yd line call it a gain of six maybe or five it'll be second and medium for the bomber offense so M now is starting to think a little bit more about it right here he's bring bringing six you get seventh and eighth in the box that may been more of them just anticipating a run though so here on second and five again I I take your chances cuz if the bombers go run there's no surprise as they still have a ton of time left on the clock if they get the first down right so the bombers can go either or here I personally would throw some pressure five receiver set for the bombers KERO back to pass pumps once now going to dump it underneath and it's incomplete Aliva couldn't get it as the pressure got to Kos and it is going to be a third down well there you go right now we see o'clair blitzing so mace says you know what let's do that and keros finds the right guy but he has to throw it to him early because baldonado is is clean because of the fact that the Riders are adding the extra man he can't find oliv that time and we end up in a punch so great strategy there from mace let's see if he can continue that Jameson sheen on the punt standing at his 33 yd line Sunshine glistening off his helmet as he's right in the point of the field where the Shadow meets the sun Mario Alfred standing in the sun back at his 15 yd line good snap oh we almost got it oh boy it was close and Mario Alford going to take the driving kick at his 20 cuts to the near side then Cuts back Dives across the 30 and here comes Trevor Harris in the offense they'll have 83 seconds to operate before halftime trailing by three starting at about their 30 yd line Thomas brw trong provides us with a valuable l here on blocked kicks he is free after making a really good inside move but he tries to block the ball up he puts his hand kids if you're listening to this and watching the replay you've got to block your take your hands out and you've got to attack the foot not the ball you got to take the ball off the foot of the kicker we could have blocked that so the Riders looking for a score before halftime trailing by three it's Harris in the gun five receiver set three targets to this near side of the field his left he's back to pass looks Far Side dumps in under Neath it's a great catch but it's only going to be for about four yards as Harris a little off the mark but he was able to find emilis for a first down completion it'll be second at about six yeah I think he's hoping that he finds Hixon out here towards the sticks he's also got kesan Johnson to his right he's forced to come back down inside and it's a takes a great effort for us to even get a hold of that football and it's emis who's got to make the diving catch still though second and seven here Harris signals his receivers to the line using a silent count as the volumes turned up at princess AO Stadium Harris back to pass he's got time slings at far side it's incomplete a low throw as Harris goes ahead and puts his hands down on his chest he was intending it for emilis Falls incomplete it would have been close to a first down instead it's a kicking situation now for the Riders well the bombers are doing a fantastic job to get a little bit of pressure but more importantly this is a delivery from charer Harris that we don't often see it's an indecisive one he throws the ball but he doesn't put he doesn't step into it he doesn't put a lot behind it and one of the reasons why is the coverage of the secondary here in Winnipeg has been Supreme so corac on to kick he'll stand back at his 20 yd line lucky Whitehead to return for the bombers corac an end over Ender that'll Force lucky Whitehead almost over his head he bobbles catches it though at the 21 stumbles across the 30 to the 32 no more as the rer cover team will do a nice job of wrapping him up and 44 seconds left before half for Zack k in the Winnipeg offense yeah you come out here you got you're up by three you've got 44 seconds but you're going to get the ball on the 30 so traditionally we've seen offensive coordinators in this throw a run play in here and say okay well if if they don't get anything we'll just let the clock bleed but if we do we'll hurry up get into something to where may we may be able to come out with a field goal at minimum not sure what they're going to do here they look like they're going to come Out Pass five receivers set for the bombers Manning clarus in motion pre- snap Kos pumps once now dumps it out near side it's complete to Olivera in the flat up near the 35 he'll stick the ball out and head out of bounds up at the 37 yd line so a gain of four it'll be second down yeah so they come out and pass like we thought they would and Olivera gets to the flat right away he just bubbles out Zack Kos finds him because he's being pressured and unfortunately we missed the initial hit from Demarcus fields and he's able is olera to get out of bounds and stop the clock ball now at the Winnipeg 37 yd line it's second down and six for the bombers 37 seconds to go four receivers far side of the formation for keros that's the wide side of the field as he's back retrieves the ball throws it far side it's complete but it's going to be shy of the first down a nice job by keros to get rid of it to demsky but dempy is about four yards shy of a first down yeah that's a great stand by the Saskatchewan Rough Riders look like they'll get in the half Lake courte Mo has got unblocked and he gets up in the air and then also pushes Zach Kos but because of the fact he was unblocked and got up in the air Kos had to change the trajectory of the throw that's why it was an errant throw and that's why they're punting Shen is back to punt it from his 26 yd line Mario Alford standing back at his 20 for santaan it's going to be a kick into what little wind there is here at Princess Auto Stadium here late in the second quarter clock is ticking good snap ryers brought pressure couldn't get there and Sheen's punt going to dribble its way to Alford back at the 21 he'll try to make a man miss does get to the corner going to be pushed Out of Bounds at the 29 yd Lin given a rough ride out but no flags and the Riders will have the football now with 3 seconds to go before half that's what US defensive players in the business like to call facilitated da you facilitate the guy out of bounds near to the sponsorship side that sounds so nice yeah exactly it avoids the penalty as it it really goes ahead and downplays the fact that you were just ridden into a sand bag on the sine exactly congratulations because you use the word facilitate yep the ref doesn't throw the flag there you go we're going to go into Victory formation so hopefully a precursor to the four quarter all right 3 seconds to go Kos in right under thean furland he's

Ruff Rider radio network Dave Thomas Luke Muller at Princess Auto stadium in Winnipeg Manitoba it is the Labor Day rematch Luke and for the seventh time this season this Saskatchewan Ru Riders are going to have to come from behind in the second half as the Riders are two and four thus far this season when trailing at halftime the bombers meantime are five and one when they hold a halftime lead however the Riders look like they're going to get the football back here to start the third quarter as the bombers of course elected to defer the win in the opening kickoff well it's been a defensive matchup neither side conceding a ton I think that Winnipeg's managed to to March its way down field a few times but but the Riders have done a good job just keeping them out of the end zone um when they could so fortunately you're only down three and it really feels like maybe the first turnover wins the football game right so yeah you never want to be in that spot however when you have a defense that's near the top of the league in that category it makes you feel like you got a shot Sergio Castillo marks off his approach to start the second half half of a Quality Tire kickoff Quality Tire with nine locations across thekat when quality tire.com return Thomas houdon berron along with Mario Alford standing just inside their 10 yd line Riders will move from right to left wearing their white jersey with green pants and green socks bombers and blue with gold pants and blue socks the Riders will have the win to their back here in this third quarter Castillo approaches high end over Ender going to chase Alford back inside his five down to the four yd line and here he comes up across the 20 near the 25 forced out of bounds a flag comes out at the end of the return and the Riders are going to be starting deep in their territory for Trevor Harris here in this second half yeah looks like an illegal block to the back maybe or a hold during turn holding to scat number 25 it's a 10yd county it's going to be first down so rakovic is penalized and Trevor Harris who's 10 of 17 for one over 27 yds on your Opa suaki stat line will come out to set the Riders is in motion here to start the third quarter all the way inside his 15 yd line down to the 14 Frankie hi has only got 13 yds on the ground got a feeling in a close game you're going to need your run game so doesn't look like they're going to come out actually they're probably going to run on this unless rovic is not going to be the fullback which he usually is while he's in motion heads towards the line as Harris turns to his right fakes the handoff now he'll Sling It Far Side Up across the 20 yd line nice catch there by the Riders not much Running Room after the reception by a Joo a Joo but it is a gain of about seven on first down yeah no big plays yet for either defense I mean offense right here they fake the run down in ratovi and again they're such a run heavy team when 25's on the field that the bombers almost had to play close to the line of scrimmage but they had good coverage everywhere else that's the thing this bomber defense has come to play today there's not a lot out there second down and four for Saskatchewan just outside their 20yd line they hand off Harris back has time has a shaer baker open into Midfield Baker Cuts back to the near side trying to De out Alexander he will to the 25 still going 1510 down to the seven yd line Ken schaer Baker first down Riders huge play when you need a big time play your big time guys have to come up for you here Bakers to the left of Harrison absolutely routs Terrell bonds out of his shoes it's a fantastic he leans toward the sideline comes back in towards the middle and then separates from the safety Harris puts it right on the money this couldn't have been a better throw from Trevor Harris great first play here to open the SEC second half yac auctions bring you Yak yard Ken schaer Baker 81 yd reception as the rider set up in the Red Zone Harris to pass has time looks to the near side touchdown Riders Samuel emilis holds it in 11 yds Deep In The End Zone and the Riders three plays one touchdown Take the Lead You couldn't asked for anything better again Trevor Harris All the Time in the World to make this throw more importantly emilis has the time to come inside and then cut back outside towards the corner of The End Zone in the back and that's a second direct Bullseye from Trevor Harris and your two guys emilis and K and Schaefer Baker the two guys you'd want to step up in these moments they do point after attempt from lather is good the riders in front 17713 with 1245 to go in the third quarter we'll take a time out from whipe and come back with more this is saskat on Ru Rider football on the 620

proudly serving Southern Saskatchewan for over 65 years three plays 96 yards touchdown Saskatchewan Samuel emlis hauling in his fourth of the season and the Riders are in front 1713 well and you just go back to the play before that with key and Schaefer Baker getting matched up the the bombers were forced to go into man defense and it matched up Schaefer Baker on Donovan Alexander I thought it was TL bonds at first but tell you what one of the better routes you're going to see this week in the Canadian Football League absolutely took him out of his cleats and then there wasn't many Defenders back there to try to rope him in after that and then emils did the rest what a great sequence of events here for Ryder Nation so lther P counts off his approach for another Quality Tire kickoff he'll be kicking it away to Lucky Whitehead he'll Advance towards the ball and take it at his 14 yd line far side of the football field Whitehead Cuts back towards the middle met right at the 35 yd line nice job getting downfield by CJ Avery for the Special Teams tackle and here comes Zach Kos for the first time of the third quarter and for the first time in the ball game trailing CJ Avery and AJ Allen they've been doing a great job on special teams and obviously CJ Avery hasn't been in the lineup as much as he was used to at the beginning of the year because of the ratio challenges the Riders have run into due to injury but uh it's still great to see them contributing at a high level on special teams Opa suvlaki stat line on Zach keros 11 of 16 for 103 yards in the first half it's first and 10 for the bombers at their own 35 left-and hash three receivers approaching the line Kos fakes the handoff back to pass loads it up looking over the middle he's got Wilson up to the Midfield strike and down to the Saskatchewan 51 yd line jir Thurman makes the tackle but a big gain for Ontario Wilson and a first down well the Riders start at this formation out as a three-man front and what they want is a fourth rusher but the fourth rusher comes from the linebacker depth far too late and the result of this is Zack Caro getting into his drop and having a few extra seconds to wait for Ontario Wilson to come back down towards the hash he finds him and it's the Winnipeg Blue Bombers opportunity and chance to take a chunk out of the sticks so Kos now to the Saskatchewan 51 First and 10 back to pass looking has time finding over the near side it's Kenny Lawler up to the saskatch and 35 Roland Milligan Jr had slipped in coverage but he recovers to make the tackle we haven't heard much from Kenny Lawler today and that's because he spent a lot of time going one-on-one with Roland Milligan Jr here he's running a comeback route at about 10 yards and when Milligan on top of him he managed to create a little bit oh excuse me keros going in a hurry up offense dops it off underneath for demsky great coverage there by the Riders as he gets ritten out of bounds by Marcus sails after a gain of maybe two sorry about that Big Dave yeah the the bombers came out and snap the ball as quick as possible in an effort to try to get the momentum back on their side offensively but CJ Rivas with a great reaction holds him to what is that four yards so it's or maybe three second and seven ball on this SC C in 32 yd line right hand hash for keros and the bombers sails in there too three receivers come to the near side in this second down formation for the bombers as the crowd quietens keros back to pass he's got time looks dumps it underneath Olivera's got it up to the 30 down to the 29 but he's going to be stopped short CJ Avery in on the tackle with help from Marcus Sals stop short and right away the bombers just sort of maintain their composure they're going to check out how much field they have to work with on this third down it's about 2 and2 yards so they're going to send Castile on who's been kicking well as in the last two weeks for them the field goal attempts going to be about 35 yards he's been good two of two so far 46 and 27 this one will be from the right hand hash what would have been a third and a long two for the bomber offense so Castile lines it up this will be in to the breeze again it's minimal but it's still there Shen on the hold good snap good hold kicks up and Castillo puts it through we got a one-point game it's Saskatchewan in front of

choose discri it on their right hand hash ryers going to use a four receiver set rakovich in on along the line is a t end picks in the loan back in the back field bomber's going to bring five Harris underneath that ball complete on a little play action and it'll be up around midfield for another bendowski ay's first down complete to kesan Johnson yeah this is going to have to be a big part of the Rough Riders approach here from this point on the Run pass option if you're not actually being able to run the ball you still got to be able to threaten the team with Frankie Hixon along the ground so adding that run look at the start of the play still does a little bit to keep the linebacker sucked up ryers load up the line on first down hand it off this time to Hixon he'll get submarined when he gets to the Midfield stripe after about a yard coming in with reic cramy it'll be second and nine for sasan yeah and you've got Ken Schaefer Baker coming into the freay here as an extra blocker he just goes to the second level a little bit too quickly and what it does is it allows the edge of the defense for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to ascend down on to Hixon Raa crd has been playing well all year we're in second and eight B on the bomber 54 yd line right has three receivers and a five receiver set to the left of Harris or the near side of the field bombers is going to bring four Harris back to pass dumps it underneath that's going to be incomplete as Harris took a hit as he was able to get it away to Kean Schaefer Baker and I heard whistles well before schaer was actually wrapped up and wrestled to the ground but he's going to be well shy of a first down well the worst part of this play is is that this situation is one where Saskatchewan can actually go long and maybe wait out some options for Trevor Harris the problem is Winnipeg's able to get pressure on Trevor Harris quickly out of a three man Rush Taiwan garbot at the right side of the defense puts a fantastic swim move on Trevor or spin move on Reed and it's what beats him and again Harris might have had some open guys but just the pressure got to him way too quickly third and six for the Riders brers Bing bring Blitz as it looked like the Riders had something up with their punt team out on the field instead cors punt going to settle down at the one yd line of Winnipeg picked up there by Lucky Whitehead only able to advance it eight yards up to the nine great kick by corsac and the bombers have a long field with 725 to go in the third quarter Saskatchewan leads by a point it's 1716 here on the

5050.com going off the field is is that Jackson Ford that was shaken up on the play yeah he just got back onto the roster yeah he jogs off so everything should be all right so the bombers will have a long road to hoe as they're going to spot the ball for Winnipeg at their own 10 right hand hash well if the Riders can stop him here they've got an opportunity for some great field position coming back the other way so first and 10 bombers hand the ball to Olivera he'll get up to the 12 met by a Jamir Thurman and he'll be pushed back there nice job by the rider defense to converge as CJ Avery also gets involved in the tackle not before Olivera gets five it'll be second and medium for the balber offense and this is where Winnipeg is just so good just getting the little extra yards off contact Ola picks the right side to go on he's following his left guard and Tackle Liam Dobson and Kendall Randolph and uh he's able to get to jir Thurman just beyond the line of scrimmage and then just drive Thurman back towards Ward the rest of his teammates and second and five is a lot easier to manage than second and seven plus trips receivers to this near side of the field for the bombers at their own 15 keros looks to pass here here comes the rush back into his end zone he'll Throw It Up near side right at the sideline incomplete Johnson Josh Johnson had his foot on the sideline when he made the catch he would have been about a yard or two shy of the first down needless to say it's incomplete but the bomber bench looking at mik o Shan and whether or not he's going to challenge this I don't think it would be successful Lake Corte Moore and Hab baldonado supplied the pressure on Kos that forces him out of the pocket and make and to make a quick throw just to hope and pray that he gets something they're looking at it it looks like it was out of bounds when on ter or sorry when um Josh Johnson caught this football but again as I was saying before started this is a fantastic job for the or opportunity for the Riders to get some great field position to start this drive jamus and Sheen kick it away from his one yd line Riders load up the line they've had some good pressure on these punts we've already had one punt block but it was by the bombers on the Riders opening possession of the football game this time it's a good snap it's going to spiral backwards it's short and it'll skip out of Bounds at the rider bench up around the 48 of Winnipeg so the Riders have a short field ahead of them as Here Comes Trevor Harris and the rider offense for their third possession of this third quarter first one went for a touchdown second down like second time they they got near Midfield this time we'll see what they got well it seems like it's been forever since the first drive of that yeah beginning of the third quarter well the r the crowd comes to life we've got 552 to go in the third quarter saskat one in front by a point defensively if you're Jordan younger you you're you're just asking yourself first of all you're staying out of the three-man front I think but you're saying to your big guys up front hey look man let's get some pressure on Harris here pre- snap motion for the Riders since four receivers Far Side that's where Harris looks pumps now here comes the pressure Harris he's going to float it to the far side it's incomplete as Harris was just throwing it away in the vicinity of Shawn ban Jr on the far side yeah just as we talked about it right the the goal probably coming out younger was to get some pressure and that's exactly what they do on Trevor Harris we see the Run pass option look right doesn't fool anybody Jake thas does a great job of just bull rushing through Noah Zer and that's what initially forces Harris to take an extra step backwards that he didn't want to take and lose focus on a receiver that he wanted to go to so we're now we're in second and 10 bombers 48 yd line right hash three receivers near side five receiver package for the Riders Here Comes Willie Jefferson on the outside Harris though loads it up looks for Kean shaer Baker but Baker turned the wrong way and it falls incomplete as had Kean made the adjustment to the ball in the air as we've got a meeting of the minds near the quarterback but it's incomplete yeah Harris had just enough time to get this ball off he's thrown to the outside shoulder of Kenan Schaefer Baker Problem with shaeer Baker is he's he leans towards and he looks inwards as he's at the top of this route and Harris is expecting him to graduate more to the corner right away instead he takes a couple steps up field before making his cut and that's what forces the errant throw corack on to punt again for the Riders just inside his 50 another end over Ender that lucky Whitehead is going to look as it'll bounce this time one yard into the end zone and roll towards the back and out the back of the end zone for the ever popular Rouge and the Riders lead extends to 2 1816 with 446 to go it's bomber football when we come back this is saskat and Ru Rider football on the 620 CKRM Cooperators Ru Rider radio network at Redhead Equipment we know that

single from Adam corac that goes through the back of the end zone now the bombers get the ball and they get better field position starting this time at their 40 yd line as opposed to down inside the 10 where their last Drive started from keros waiting to walk towards the huddle with his team yeah I would expect keros and the Winnipeg Blue bomber offense here to I think that they got to come out and try to figure out a way to to get Brady Olivera continually and consistently involved in the game he was such an asset for them in the past game I wouldn't be surprised if they run the ball here well they do bring in an extra offensive lineman along the line to load it up Riders put three down lineman down but they've got two linebackers right up on the line Claris though drops back to pass here comes the pressure hit as he throws complete far side and that's Kenny Lawler by the look looks of it right in front of the rider bench he'll have about seven perhaps eight yards and no more as he was brought down on the play nice job by Demarcus fields to get there part of me that was coming over on the tackle was Deontay Williams well Caleb Sanders and Micah Johnson with great pass rushes here from the interior Caleb Sanders actually hits Zach Kos but it's after Zach's already stepped into his throw and they have eight yards so second and two again you've got the entire playbook for chrisan strer here they're probably just going to mow forward with it well Kenny Lawler is way wide to the right for strer he's back to pass looking takes a shot it's up and it's knocked down Marcus sails what a great job of getting in front of Kenny Lawler and knocking him down but also knocked down on the play is strer who's back in a heap at his 40 yd line with a flag down beside him it's going to be miles Brown miles gets in late and he gets thrown into Str he gets thrown into strer by his own offensive lineman and strer is clutching his knee he's been clutching it since he's been down but again you know with so much focus on Miles Brown already aat number 90 it's a 15 yd P automatic first down for win yeah well the Riders are pleading their case here and with strer down of course injuries brought to you by work safe Saskatchewan the Riders want to talk with referee Ben major and there is time for the command center to look at this and I really uh I really should have seen this coming this is my fault I you know it's second and two and it's the reason why they're able to throw this football if it was third and two they'd just be going forward with it but it's second and two so it's a smart idea to to take a shot at the end zone especially when you have single coverage on one of the best receivers in the league in Kenny Lawler and it looks like the Riders have thrown the challenge flag as Cory mace saw the look that I did where it looked like brown got him above the knees he got him above the knees but again he's thrown into him by his own player now Cory mace this season when it comes to coach's challenges is two of six the scaton is challenging that there should have been offensive pass interference on the last play the play so now we've got the two teams as Chris strer is drawing a flag perhaps as he limps off the field after engaging with the ryer defense is this game is unraveling quickly so there's a review on the play as you heard the Riders want to check out pass interference from Kenny Lawler on Marcus sails I thought they might challenge the pass interference call but they're not going to do that they being the Su scatch with Rough Riders miles Brown is leaving the field I think they're just right now they're just trying to trying to get cooler heads to Prevail here so they've taken miles Brown out of the game mace is a former defensive tackle he's probably saying look man I know I got I know but this is a league that's trying to protect its quarterback I I get it now you got the defensive line coach telling them the exact same thing I get it too Malik Carney also saying yeah man that's some BS but it's good to get miles Brown over to the sideline right cuz cuz you know the offensive line for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers is probably iate yeah you don't see a lot of well there was a flag that came out of the end of it so I wonder if Brown was called on the penalty but again the the coach's challenge that's out right now is sails went and oh yeah Lawler hauled him down on the play as he went up for it and Lawler had a grab of the right arm of Marcus Sals as we get an inst Stadium replay here at Princess Auto stadium so this is going to be interesting as they're sorting it out now the officials are breaking up their huddle and it looks like they're going to March the bombers back as coach mace continues to converse with the officials but and then nothing here we go Chris strer taken to the injury T unfortunately upon further review the ruling on the field stands Saskatchewan loses their Challenge and their first team timeout however we also have a misconduct penalty against winipeg number 68 we go back 10 yards it's going to be first down for Winnipeg so Micah Vander is going to take this so the Riders lose the challenge the ball is marched back to the bomber 53 yd line I I still don't know why we challenged it to be honest with you I I just I would have thought the better challenge was to actually look at Miles Brown's penalty but anyways it is the result of the play at the end of all of that Holo is that the bombers have the ball on the 53 and Zach keros comes back into the game on the left hand hash with 335 and counting to go in the third quarter bombers Trail the Riders 1816 and the bombers are going to load up the line here on first down lucky Whitehead in motion handoff goes to Olivera cuts to the left back to the right he'll be spun to the ground right at the line of scrimmage as the Riders Deontay Williams deir Thurman all in on the tackle it's going to be second and long for the bombers such a such a great cut here initially like in all honesty folks Brady olivea should have lost four yards there and he evades an initial tackle from Caleb Saunders and I'm not sure how he gets out of it but he did and he still managed to only pick up one or sorry it's second well they've screwed up the sticks too yeah it's second down and nine second and nine so five receivers set for Kos he's back to run four receiver or fourman Rush he'll dump it off that is complete it looks like Josh Johnson up around the 47 of Saskatchewan which will be close for a first down yeah so now you've got third string quarterback Terry Wilson who they really like they like this kid they like his athleticism they think he might have a chance to be a guy in this league but he's going to go navigate these third and one situations now for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers so that was wall Atari on the catch and yeah it is third and short yeah and again you got to keep your pad level low here if you're the saskatch and Rough Riders miles Brown's back in there so so Wilson in under Center he'll go straight ahead should have the first down just outside the rider 45 but again we've got all kinds of people flying and talking at the end of the play as emotions are running High here at Princess Auto Stadium it's going to be a first down though first downs for Cooperators bendowski Insurance and financial services your first choice for insurance it's a good job by Terry Wilson just gets nice and low drives forward right played it well yeah yeah he didn't didn't get much oh didn't get it by much first and 10 for the bombers now at the saskat 46 left hash we're starting to see Winnipeg go into their close them out offense though yeah starting to see them grind the ball out right all receivers in motion to the near side on first down fake a handoff keros over the middle has a in that's complete down to the saskat 25 down to the 20 yd line before finally being wrestled down on the play coming up with the catch was Kenny Lawler and it's a big first down for the Riders near the green red zone so they give you a heavy run set this is what I mean they're in that close it down mode and they let Lo match up against Demarcus field but they only have Lawler and W Atari and demsky really as the guys that are along W Atari and Lawler are probably the only receivers that are past 10 yards there so Winnipeg's now gradually moving into their Clos it out offense which involves a lot of tempo a lot of ball control and and varying throws five receivers for Kos first and 10 on the rider 20 fake a handoff sling it but near side that's complete to Lawler who loses his helmet when Thurman came up to make the tackle nothing doing as far as a penalty which is what Lawler wants it's going to be a gain though of about seven RPO look that Zack keros has to get rid of really quickly because they finally got some pressure up on that run pass option look that Winnipeg's been running they got two receivers to Claro's right and before he's allowed to even consider the Deep route into the end zone he's got to throw it low otherwise he loses about six seven yards Lawler only given four on the play though it's second and six for the bombers on the rider 16 keros has got five receivers in the set four of which are to The Far Side now in motion is demsky near side watch for him to get open in the slot keros back to pass looks towards the near slot and it's complete down to the seven yd line wow wow nice catch there by the bombers and a big chain mover as Kenny Lawler hauls it in for a first down yeah this is a great catch by Lawler keros is watching him and demsky so if they don't get low on demsky he's going to go to Lawler and he sees Lawler up top Lawler's gradually moving towards the hash mark on the right side claros throws it behind him and Lawler reaches back and essentially double clutches the football What A Catch on Roland Milligan who's blanketing him perfectly on the Quality Tire scoreboard it's a scatch 18 wiip Peg 16 but the bombers are threatening Quality Tire nine locations across the skatch and quality t.ca come back for

CKRM Cooperators Ruff Rider radio network first and goal from the six for the bombers to start the fourth quarter they Trail by two keros is in the gun makes a hand off rolls Far Side throws it complete touchdown Kenny Lawler three straight catches for the bombers to find the end zone and put winipeg back in front in the Labor Day rematch yeah this is a Personnel Group issue for the Riders they got Elias Tui in as their 60 lineman in fullback here and he's in the queen set so really the entire you can see the linebackers and the D line they all think the run is coming and then they get Lawler just sitting a bit outside our right tackle and keros makes Kos give credit to him here he's got to throw a lot earlier than he wants to but he makes the connection and the Riders are down by potentially Five Points if this convert goes Sergio Castillo on for that convert it goes up and it goes through and the bombers retake the lead now 23- 18 just 41 seconds here into the the fourth quarter in winipeg there's a lot of game left here Dave and it's it feels like I'm not sure if you feel it I feel like it's just starting to open up absolutely as both offensive coordinators Buck Pierce and Mark Mueller are making their adjustments and reading and reacting to what they see as yeah the Riders are going to get a chance to get the football back and you're starting to see Winnipeg they're still trying to get their run game going right but both teams are using the threat of a run via their run pass option look it's just Saskatchewan is definitely not handing the ball off no out of that look you you think that Winnipeg is a lot more open right now to running the football out of that look it's just there again both defenses are doing a good job there's not a ton out there for each team yeah just five carries on the afternoon for Frankie Hixon for 15 yards so that makes 17 total yeah uh carries in two games Quality Tire kickoff from Castillo taken by Mario Alfred back at his two yd line he'll start near side look to go to The Far Side has some blocking in front up to the 3035 and that's where he's hauled down is players are flying flags are flying and the Riders would have the ball at the 36 pending this penalty which likely is going to push them back further yeah things are picking up out here in bom rville Dave yeah got the fur flying Hey listen that's what you get out of the Labor Day rematch in return holding the Scots one number 17 the 10yd count it's going to be first down for wi first down for SC so the ball is being marched back to the Riders 20 yd line we have yet to see Winnipeg declare a zero Blitz they always do it some point we have also yet to see the Winnipeg Blue Bombers threaten both linebackers between the a gaps I'm talking about the Mike and the will and that's a big part of what they do so is this the series with the crowd on their side and the backs of the Riders towards their goal line is this the series where Jordan younger comes out and decides to take both line backers to Mike and will and Blitz them they move the ball back now to the 9yd line for sasan to start this drive extra bodies along the line four down lineman for the bombers handoff goes to Hixon he'll cross the line up to the 15 near the 17 he's wrestle down from behind but a late flag comes down as well after a gain of almost five just I keep seeing Jesse in Breaking Bad you can't keep got no way with this and it looks like looks like we're going forward so it's a good thing it's going to be interesting we have tripping winipeg number 91 it's a 10yd penalty it's going to be first down for saskatchwan so Jamal Woods gets the call moves the ball up to the 19 of Saskatchewan Jamal wood sacked had a sack last week couple tackles bombers show four down lineman on his first down play for the Riders I'm telling you if I'm J why I'm I'm blitzing the Riders right now especially out of this formation they got a tight end look two receivers to either side of the set for Saskatchewan handed off to Hixon makes a move across the 30 to the 31 yd line his longest run of the day it's Frankie hickon and a big first down so for some reason JY just refuses to throw the linebackers at the line of scrimmage especially when you have Clint ratkovic and the Riders seem like they're 90% run out of this formation the linebackers just sort of hand back and what it does is it allows the lineman to get little chip blocks to the second level where the linebackers are and Hixon now showing some life in the Run game for the green and white I like this first and 10 for the Riders on their own 31 yd line 1257 to go in the fourth quarter pitch it underneath K and Schaefer Baker little shovel pass up to the 35 and Schaefer Baker will get near the 36 yd line for a gain of five it'll be second and medium they give Shaker schaer Baker excuse me me the ball in a in a pseudo shovel coming left to right out of the back field and Tanner CAD Waller does a good job tracking this because he's really the linebacker that they're hoping bites on the initial fake or toss to Frankie Hixon second and five Saskatchewan on their 36 right has three receivers far side of the set Blitz they're going to bring it Harris throws it complete Far Side that's up going to be good for a first down nice second effort by the Riders diving ahead was the receiver in k for Baker and it's a big first down for orus skatan ksb is stepping up he has been all day but specifically here in this second half they've been going to him a lot you got to think that eventually emis will get involved too as he scored the last touchdown but I love the fact that the Riders are deliberately running the football here first and 10 for the Riders on their 43 after the first down for Schaefer Baker that puts him over a 100 on the day pitch toss Far Side for Hixon makes a man miss up to Midfield into bobber territory down to the 50 Frankie hickon big carry big first down for the riders in the bomber territory and it's a great call from Mark Mueller CU this is a tendency breaker you've got the double tight end set look and normally they're just downhill here they quick toss it to the left and Hixon gets just outside the tight end look evades one tackle from Dedrick Nicholls and then does the rest the Riders started this drive with their backs against the end zone and they now at the 50 of the Blue Bombers yeah this started at their own n yd line a Joo a Joo being moved in motion by Harris pre- snap Crow on their feet Harris hands it off Hixon jump cut but he'll slip and fall right at the line of scrimmage it'll be a second down as he fell right at the feet of Terrell bonds yeah Terrell bonds read this run well and the reason why he he was able to clue in is because the guy Terrell bonds was lined up over he got involved down near the line of scrimmage so bonds simply does simply just says hey I'm going to I'm going to be the last man on the line of scrimmage if my guy is adding in he stands there and hixon's got nowhere to go second and 10 humongous down I think that the bombers are going to dedicate everybody to coverage here five receiver sets a scatch and three down lineman that's all the bombers will Rush Harris looks finds first down to the bomber 35 it's Shawn Bane Jr and they fail so they come with a thre men rush and in an effort to just take away all these Zone looks or sorry take away all the space justed in around the linebackers and Harris has all the time in the world to make a good throw what a drive this is turning out to be down to the bomber 34 yard line after the Bas andeli agency's first down its first intense sukatan at the 34 right hand hash are you going to see a run again here rakovic lines up along the offensive line four receivers for the Riders bombers goes to the line Harris looking for emilis it's up and it's incomplete emis went up for it but he couldn't haul it in right on his tail was the coverage of Tyrell Ford yeah the Riders were lucky to not get hit with a procedure call here they moved early Trevor Reed who lined up over or right on top at Willie Harris uh sorry Willie Jefferson emilis just can't win the route deep he's got great coverage from Tyrell Ford and we almost gave it up to the safety so another loud second down here for Trevor Harris and his crew right hand hasher the ball on the 34 the bombers 908 to go in the fourth quarter another three-man front here Saskatchewan Trails by five backfield empties Harris back to pass steps up has a man underneath Shawn Bane Jr gets inside the thir near the 26 he'll still be shy of the first down and we're really fortunate here not to get a holding penalty when it comes to Willie Jefferson on Trevor Reed I think the only reason Willie CU Willie beats Trevor Reed on the inside and the only reason we don't get a holding penalty is cuz Reed's the arm Reed was holding with was really low normally you get that call every time if it's up around the neck but either way it's a field goal attempt at 35 for Brett lther 101 from 50 yds out this is for Reliance water heat Heath water heater rentals left hand hash for lather good snap corx holds nice and Lo's kick is better goes through the uprights and the Riders cut the lead to two with 814 to go in the fourth quarter it's Winnipeg 23 Saskatchewan 21 this is

Saskatchewan for over 50 years with short-term flexible contracts call 522 5866 as the Riders defense now needs to stand tall as Zach Kos and the bomber offense get set to go Riders are without Malik Carney who went down early in the first quarter has not returned they also don't have miles brown but I think that Miles has just been substituted out as it's baldonado Micah son oh there is brown and then Lake Corte Moore on the defensive line first down Kos back play action pass now he's schedul runs away from the pocket gets it away to waltari who takes a big hit up near the 48 yd line and he'll be close to a first down about a couple of yards away but W Atari once again slow to get up well they've got the Run pass option fake here again and it holds everybody at the line of scrimmage and I'll tell you what if haboc baldonado isn't able to get off a block and get some pressure on Zack keros Zack keros has a receiver who's about to pop Wide Open Out near the 30 ydd near the Winnipeg sideline and if he have and and he was about to throw it to him if he did it would have been a touchdown we'll take a break come back with more from Winnipeg it's 23-21 the bombers leading your Riders

your game sense Su scheduling Ru Rider football on the home of Rider asan the 620 CKRM Cooperators Ruff Rider radio network Drew alari gingerly makes his way off the field right to the bomber bench where he's greeted there by Zach keros who gives him a tap on the helmet it's going to be a second down and a long one for the balber offense who Trot Terry Wilson back out onto the field The Freshman or rookie out of New Mexico well and here's the thing right so we probably should have saw it coming on last second and one but this is a down where now the Saskatchewan Ru Riders are actually thinking about the possibility of the the Winnipeg Blue Bombers throwing this ball off of the quarterback sneak fake now if your buck Pierce do you have the same confidence to do it with your brand new quarterback 85% of the time the answer is no and Center Wilson gets St up right at the line then spun away he should have enough though on the surge for the first down for the bombers with seven 41 and counting to go here in the fourth quarter Winnipeg leading the Riders 23-21 well you said it Dave I mean initially he's he's held up here cuz the Riders do a good job between the tackles with their with their interior and just holding the line of scrimmage but then Wilson's able to gradually fall to his left and that's where he finally gets across the line of scrimmage for the first down Zach Clos will obviously check back in here first and 10 for the bombers at at their 50 yd line 7 minutes to go in the fourth quarter third it's going to be first down and 10 as three receivers swing Far Side for Kos now fourth with dempy in motion olera the lone back in the backfield Ridder show Blitz handoff goes to Olivera he's met by baldonado after a couple of yards and it'll be second at seven yeah so that's the first time today we've seen the strong side linebacker Blitz from Cory mace be implemented Zack Clos is looking right at it this is probably another run pass option look and if this isn't a CJ Rivas blit Blitz off the strong side Zack Clos probably keeps this football and looks to the flat on his right side he was able to anticipate it well there and they end up getting about four yards second down and six for the bombers five receivers set three near side ball right hand hash back to pass keros throws it up has demsky but it's to be incomplete as demsky stopped his route and now we got a player tackled in baldonado down on the ground no Flags come out deir Thurman can't believe it this is the example of why I was wanting them to Blitz a little bit more this is zero Blitz there's no safeties it's straight up manto man but Saskatchewan bringing the house Zack Clos essentially sees he's about to get smacked and just throws it up in the air and he's hoping that Nick dempy can beat the one-on-one coverage of Nelson L combo the safety again there's no other safety help because it's a zero Blitz fortunately the Riders able to navigate their way out of this and force a punt now they have some momentum especially after that last series maybe they can string another drive together Shen on to punt this one away to the Riders two returners back in Bane Jr and Alford standing at their 15 shien kick going to be traveling sideways towards Alford who Fields it at is 11 he'll start on the near side now he's going to try to get to the corner he's got a man to beat tries to get around to the 20 going to be spun on bound to the 25 as he's wrapped up neatly nice Pursuit by Tyrell Ford and the Riders will have the ball at the 25 with 536 to go and trailing by two points we'll get to that when we come back this is Saskatchewan Rough Rider football on the 620 CKRM Cooperators Ru Rider radio network when you need Precision agricultural equipment you need

nightmare when it comes to traffic all those Runners just shutting down the main roads I thought you were going to say I'm going yeah no absolutely not first down for the Riders crowd comes to life ball on their own 25 handoff goes to Hixon he'll try a jump cut nothing do and he'll he'll get a yard maybe two it'll be second and long Saskatchewan yeah really good job identifying the Run look from Winnipeg Riders down here with two tight ends again and they just collapse Tony Jones does a good job cleaning it up off the edge second and nine in one of the loudest buildings in Canada Jake Thomas checks out on the defensive line for Winnipeg they've got three down linemen on second and a long eight from the Riders 2 six three receivers near side backfield empties keros back to pass pitches it underneath nothing doing ryers had a lot of motion going pre- snap and they pitched it underneath I believe that was a Joe a Joe and he's going to be stopped shy of the first down and sorry it's Ken schaer Baker pardon me and we've got another conversation this is a fantastic job by celestian habba or sorry Taiwan garbut and Willie Jefferson they explode out of their stance on this three-man rush cuz they obviously trying to beat the tight end or the tackles up field but as soon as they realize Trevor Harris is gearing down to hand this ball off they both plant their outside foots get back down in and cancel out any opportunity to run the football great execution corack on to punt from his 50 this one's going to go to The Far Side of the field lucky Whitehead takes it in the air at is 42 makes the first surge Miss gets across Midfield to the Saskatchewan 53 and that's where the bombers offense comes out onto the field with a short field and a two-point lead well and you're breaking or you're sorry not breaking you're coming into this last three minutes of the game where the Riders were beating everybody at the beginning of the year in the first third of the season and in that La in that second third of the year they were the ones getting beaten in the last three minutes of game and right now you got 355 you got the bombers with the ball right around Midfield you got to hold him to a field goal if anything here obviously we'd like a turnover and we talked about it Dave we felt like the first turnover might win it well here's an opportunity for the rider defense as they show Blitz swing it out near side demsky has it in the flat up to the 50 and then he's Dro there nice job by the Riders to converge in the open field and make the tackle coming up with it was Demarcus Fields after a gain of maybe five yeah you have Kevin's clerus and you have Josh Johnson over on one side the bombers are essentially three for three so they've got two I mean sorry they've got two receivers and they've got Nick dempy so they got two blockers on three Defenders and it's Demarcus Fields who takes on the initial block and just runs through it and cuts out all options for demsky they only get four out of it so second and along six on the Saskatchewan 49 for Winnipeg five receiver package keros back to pass he feels the pressure swings it underneath demy's got it but he's going to be stopped shy of the first down CJ revas in to make the tackle and the bombers look like they've got a kicking decision to make and they'll do it after the three-minute warning and when we

Cooperators Rider radio network 3 minute warning brought to you by Brett young more bushel per acre we can get behind that visit Bret young.com break inside the ru Rider 45 near the 44 which instead of a third and two is now third and a long yard and the bombers have put their offense back out onto the field with Terry Wilson into the game yeah you got Terry Wilson who who hasn't looked great on these short yardage plays here's the first thing Dave the the ma the only thing that matters right now is being on side after being off on side obviously it's coming out low pad level especially on that interior well we'll see if the bombers try to draw the Riders offside it is a long yard on third down you know what I've never liked Canadian Football League teams trying to draw the guys offside I always felt like they have just as much as Wilson goes straight ahead on the third down Gamble and he's going to spin his way to a first down a gain of almost three the Moose Creek Red Angus third down gamble works out for the bombers yeah sorry I've always felt like teams have just as much of an opportunity to get themselves offside when trying to convince other teams to go offside so so the clock will continue to count 238 to go what is Eric Lo how come he wasn't that much of a tough guy when he played for us third year Pro second in the bomber blue is lock in at right T tackle today it's first and 10 ball at the 41 of the Riders they got a run set here gun Ola going to hand it off to Lucky Whitehead he'll get to the outside has some room across the 35 puts his shoulder pads down and Dives to the 33 of Saskatchewan for a gain of almost eight yeah they get that run set and what they do is they don't give away the motion of Lucky Whitehead they line him up as a slot closer to the line of scrimmage so that he's got a smart distance to go and what happens is you're not as a defensive back and linebacker you're not able to say hey hey hey watch Lucky he's coming down he's coming down it just happens so quickly there lucky Whitehead turned that into an eight- yard gain it's second and two on the ryer 33 214 to go Riders take a timeout it's second down and two sorry no timeout there yeah they've got one left the clock is running and the B are in the shotgun second and two Olivera the lone back in the back field there's some problems no but they'll hand it off to Olivera as he's going to get close to the line before being thrown back and it looks like he'll have the yards to gain yeah that fooled nobody so Zack Clos tried to make tried to make it look like this was like the Philly Philly special in the Super Bowl with Nick fos Um Zack claros tried to make it look like there was a problem and walked off yelling stuff but their efficiency was Their Own Worst Enemy there everybody knows that they never not on the same page so nobody fell for Zach keros the shenanigans they get a a a quick snap to olera which Catches Us off offside a little bit first down and 10 now the clock is going to turn into a real concern it's 142 on it with the bombers up two first down and 10 Kos in the gun hands it off to Olivera looking for a hole finds one and gets up near the saskatch and 25 for a gain of almost six it'll be second and four with 131 to go yeah so when you're in first down now if you're the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and I'm Cory Ma I'm blitzing all day and the reason why I'm blitzing on first down all day is because Winnipeg is in closed out mode and that involves Brady aloa nine times out of 10 Riders take their first or pardon me their timeout now they are without with 131 to go second and five ball on their own 25 with Karis and the bomber offense looking to run this clock out it's the obvious play here to use your timeout and again like what do you do right second and five there's a whole boatload of plays that are designed here for Brady Ola you can get him in the flat you could just hand it to him and and give him a fullback look right quick throw Kenny Lawler got something to say to Claris as he leaves so you got to watch that Ryder's going to load up the line they'll bring the house fake the handoff and now Kos is just going to slide down seeing nothing nothing and he'll get down at about the 31 so it will go as a quilt plane sack but it's going to be an opportunity for the bombers to extend their two-point lead with 127 left well it changes the whole complexion of the next drive for the Riders you go from needing a field goal to win it to needing a touchdown and what they're going to do here is as soon as the whistle gets blown they're going to they're going to they're going to take the last 20 seconds of the clock off so it'll be about 106 when he does kick it so Castillo is three for three today this is an attempt from 39 yards Winnipeg leading by two it's 23-21 with 114 and Counting as you mentioned the play clock can go down to 106 balls back good hold Castillo kicks it and he Nails it 39 Y is Good from Castillo the Riders are going to have to field a kickoff and it's going to be Paramount that they do it cleanly with just 65 seconds to go and trailing by five cool and if you're Jordan younger you love this situation because your whole defense is predicated on being okay with giving him giving up short yardage plays here so right now Jordan younger is literally wherever the ball starts first of all they're going to let Saskatchewan run if they want to but second of all they're going to give them everything under five yards right what they're not going to do is they're not going to get beat deep here that is the way Richie Hall designs his championship winning defense and that is the toage that Jordan younger got as an assistant defensive coordinator while Richie Hall was in that seat so they're well equipped for this theyve probably run through the scenario as a matter of fact five times this week in practice alone played out one week ago where the Riders had an opportunity and did score just couldn't convert on a two-point conversion and if you're Trevor Harris you're used to getting the ball out quick so now you you're able to switch your mentality to hey I I'm going to have a little bit more time Castillo's kick is taken by Mario Alford a Quality Tire kickoff handled by Alford up to the 35 and that's where the Riders offense comes onto the field with no flags and you can bet that coach mace told his team do not take a penalty in this situation so the Riders looking to find way trailing by 5 59 seconds to go they need a touchdown as the fans come to life here at Princess Auto stadium so JY has come out here in their tiger front what their tiger front is is three defensive lineman and an extra nickel to defend against the pass they're going to allow you everything intermediate first down and 10 Harris fourman rush for the bombers Harris underneath that's complete K and schaer baker has it up at the 48 down that's not intermediate that's good for the Riders great get off by Willie Jeff Harris is under immense pressure immediately but he just finds Lawler between 54 seconds to go five receivers for the Riders Harris quick drop throws it up incomplete looking for the same play with KSP but it falls incomplete cramy in coverage second down 46 seconds to go can't imagine how loud the building is right now for this off defense I can barely hear you 46 seconds second and 10 ball on the Riders 48 yd line you don't need it all here you can get five yards out of this it's okay there's still 46 seconds left on the clock as well five receivers Far Side for Harris signals them to the line in the deafening noise Hixon leaves the backfield Harris back to pass looks far side it's up it's intercepted Ford has it up to the 50 yd line and his second interception of the day is going to Salt this one away for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers told you man they're going to give you anything intermediate and they're not going to let you get anything deep we got away with it once with Ken schaer Baker Winnipeg makes no mistake the second time they're going to put their Victory formation defense in and the Riders are going to go to the buy feeling really insecure about themselves and potentially coming back after the Buy in last place in the West this is probably worst case scenario that they could have imagined Tyrell Ford second interception of the day Trevor Harris's stat line on Opa suvlaki stats 21 of 33 287 in yardage two touchdowns two interceptions what did we say we said the first turnover was going to win it in that second half and and who got the first turnover the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Victory formation for keros who takes a knee with 34 seconds left on the clock ball in the bomber 52 going to reset the clock allow it to roll bomber bench urging the fans to come on loud and they've done that in the sold out building in the Labor Day rematch poos allows the clock to tick will take a knee twice more the most frustrating play as a defensive lineman man you just sort of sit there and you're forced to watch the offensive lineman having a laugh probably talking a little bit of junk yep and you just got to sit there and take it zeros now on the clock for keros who's in under Center one final time takes a knee and the bombers win the Labor Day rematch make the final on the Quality Tire scoreboard Winnipeg 26

Ru Rider football on the home of Rider Nation the 620 CKRM Cooperators Ruff Rider radio network Dave Thomas Luke Muller back at Princess Auto stadium in Winnipeg the Blue Bombers have defeated the saskat Rough Riders 26-21 in the Labor Day rematch here this afternoon is is Luke Muller ready to go I'm just looking for Jason to give me the thumbs up yes Luke ER is set to go downstairs I believe he's likely got the coach the coach's postgame comments brought to you by KFC new Spicy and original red Seine snacker wraps are here and right now you can get two for just five bucks Luke well we we don't have coach yet so um it'll be a second but you know what I mean obviously down here it's it's a it's a tough scene um but I thought that Coach ma brought a a message that's really needed it's hey look we're still in in control of our own fate but we need to get our our is together here so um I'll let you guys know when coach m is here thanks so much Luke we will check in with you momentarily of course we'll get to our opaki stat look as well first though let's go back down to ran in studio Justin dunk of course will be handling your calls coming up on the radio round table but first here on the fifth quarter postgame show Dunc your thoughts on this football game as you saw it a 26-21 win for the bombers here today I hate saying this because it's cliche but it feels like the same story throughout this winless streak close but not good enough to get the Win key mistakes that gave the bombers some points especially that punt block on Adam corac I know Willie Jefferson is a freak but you just cannot have those kinds of things happen in Prof professional football excuse me with close margin so the riders need to figure out a way to make these plays well let's head downstairs now I believe Luke has got coach mace with him Luke coach um I'm not sure what you tell a team when you continually come so close to pulling it out but what is that message especially going into a bye-week yeah I I think uh you know just hitting the obvious in the face you know I thought even today I thought penalties uh you know I thought it was going to be a chippy game I do believe we lost the penalty battle but I don't know I think it we had five or something like that it's just timing of when we do it you know what I mean it puts us in a tough Jam um and I think we lost a turnover battle today which you know those are two key ingredients to to success um we didn't come out on the other side of that you know it's It's just tough man you got to tell everybody look themselves in the mirror myself included I know it's cliche but it has to be done um but also hey we just went 10 straight go rest up uh come back with a new Focus um some accountability and we got to start swinging because we're still in position to make a playoff push you know it's interesting you say that right because that's what you do on bye especially you know when you've been frustrated with the results is you looking you say what can I do coach right away what are some things that you think that you can bring to your game to put them in a position in a better spot yeah I think you know first things first for myself you know just understanding uh the full flow of the game um you know always constantly trying to get better at uh clock management stuff um you know there's a couple situations here where you know I was thinking maybe yeah maybe we try to kick a field goal but then you know we could pin them deep uh you know it was a success for us and you got to take into oh you know all the weather stuff and you know playing with the playing without the wind so just constantly working on things like that and then you know as a play caller uh defensively just you know continue to understand the situations um where we can't give up seven or you know potentially get them out of field goal range etc etc so there's aund things man and we constantly do that so um just asking of players nothing more than what we would ask of ourselves as coaches to do and you still have essentially control of your destiny just because of the way your games are tilted towards the Western Conference as you close the year out yeah that and that's that's what we've known um you know it's unfortunate we talked about it for the last couple weeks to be honest with you but um we still just can't find a way quite yet to get over the hump um but uh the bond is strong in the room uh the guys I still think believe that they can still get the job done um and we're still in that that part of the season now where if we come out of the bye uh we start piecing it together we get hot as you said everybody in the west is is kind of in front of us right now uh so we can go ahead and try to push ourselves into the playoffs feeling feeling a little bit different than we do right now you guys have been slugging it out injury-wise how'd you come out today uh yeah we we'll see I know uh you know I know uh mik Carney got banged up wasn't able to finish the game know guys that are different bumps and bruises but uh again I think timeing of the bye for us right now specifically just the amount of bodies that that we have are banged up uh it' be really nice for them to to just have a week uh to rest and then we'll see how that looks after the byee enjoy your byee coach thanks

go down to the locker rooms with Luke binder again moment arily for our offensive and game defensive game Stars first year Opa suvlaki statline in this football game the Saskatchewan Rough Riders were out first down if you will Winnipeg at 18 to saskat wins 14 rushing yards 46 for the Riders to 62 for the bombers passing yards 287 by the Riders 231 for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers turnovers two Z in favor of the bombers of course they picked off Trevor Harris passes twice sacks allowed the Riders were able to bring down Zack keros twice none given up by the makeshift Patchwork offensive line which is a big win there if you are the sascachuan r Riders so also of note the penalties as coach pointed out in his postgame commentary a five penalties for 49 yards for the Riders three for 25 for Winnipeg we'll continue that in a moment first though let's go downstairs with one of our game stars and Luke Muller for Quality Tire with nine locations across Saskatchewan quality tire.com last week in the Labor Day game we were talking to you after cuz you the the player of the game then too but you talked about Brick by Brick continuing to work hard you came out here you know we talked about guys needing to the Big Time Players needing to step up you felt like you did that today talk a little bit about how the locker room feels right now after another frustrating loss yeah I know it's it's never easy being in a situation like this but even you just say yourself you know I I don't even see this as a loss I just see this as a lesson you know this is just an opportunity for all of us to to grow together and to get better from it you know so many lessons are going to be brought back from this game we're going to turn on the film and see all the little Corrections we got to make in order to come out not next week but the week after that to go one and0 again felt like the offense started clicking really in that second half especially what was the change what was the change there just trust and believe just believe in in the guy beside you knowing that he's going to do his job and trusting that you know no matter who's name is going to be called that the guy's going to step up and make a play and that's what we continue to just build our offense around is just staying together and trusting the guy beside you and you really got the offense going here with the first uh or probably second play of the second half ran a fantastic route against Brandon Alexander talk us through that yeah you know we got we got the look we wanted he was kind of manned up in me over the middle gave him move and Trevor threw a great ball o line was able to protect and give him enough time running back made the right block and you know it doesn't even come down to my it's all 12 of us having to do our job again and whoever the ball goes up to whoever is carrying the ball we know that that person is going to make the play so we just got all of our faith and trust in the the guy beside us what do you got to go what do you got to do moving forward here into the bye how do you look at it as a leader yeah just just staying together you know you you just touched upon it yourself is just making sure the guys all stay together just doing little things to make sure we're growing you know it's easy to get beat up and down on yourself over a loss like that but again I don't even believe in losses there's only lessons from this so it's a week for all of us to get healthy and come back not even hungry no more I think we all going to come back starving there it is man all right

have been by one point two points three points four points now a fiveo loss some's got to give here man feels like the same old script close game couple mistakes Riders kind of gave away 10 points there in that opening quarter the punt block by Willie Jefferson the interception I know kesan Johnson fell down but Tyrell Ford gets it the bombers going stuff it in the end zone and you look at those mistakes I know he slipped but that really cost the riders in this game yeah I mean we talked about it in the pregame we said that they needed to play a very clean game a no a mistake free game and they came out and didn't do that we I talked about them being ready to go from the first snap and somebody making plays and that wasn't the case the Winnipeg Blue Bombers came out and made plays Willie Jefferson with the block and then also Trevor just with the the intercep ception and it was just something that they I like the way they bounced back from it but it just was some you put yourself in a hole on the road against a team that's playing great and then you expect like what did you expect outome to be it was good that they were able to keep it close there towards the end and then defense does their job gets the Winnipeg off the field Riders have the ball with about four minutes left and they do nothing with it I don't even think they gained a yard and that was a I thought that was one of the biggest possessions of the game and you talk about a couple penalties here and there like the Winnipeg just played a cleaner game they won on the turnover battle they won on the penalties and they made a few more plays and to come out with a five-point win that's what was supposed to happen and Cory M referen those penalties postgame West as you touched on there and felt like they took some untimely ones in the game overall five for 49 yards not a lot but when they come at those untimely times if you're the Riders you just can't have that so you just heard W's take we want

but our moment of the game which is brought to you by The Keg The Keg siiz moment of the game locations in Regina and Saskatoon book your reservation today at the k.com this moment got the Riders back into the football game actually helped give them the lead but the Riders just couldn't hold on just outside their 20 yd line F A handoff Harris back has time has a schaer baker wide open to Midfield Baker Cuts back to the near side trying to deak out Alexander he will to the 25 still going 1510 down to the seven yd line Ken schaer Baker first down Riders huge play 81 yard shake and bake play helped the Riders get into the End Zone on that drive but they couldn't finish the ball game off losing 2621 okay let's go out on the echo sound hotline Michael on Vancouver Island what did you think of the Riders performance in the Labor Day rematch well yeah not that great a game I've kind of given up on the team and on the league on the leag League what do you mean on the league it comes off like the WWF to me it's predent biggest problem with the game today was going into the three minute warning at the end of the fourth uh it was supposed to be second and three second and four uh come back from break second and one Command Center change something again I'm just tired of it so you feel like it's predetermined because the command center is writing the script well yeah pretty much it's four games where something dubious happens and yeah I don't fault the team team played hard um didn't have a good start agree with Wes on that one they were all played that way but I no just losing faith in the entire league CFL conspiracy time thanks for the call Michael interesting yep what do you think about that yeah I mean he I don't know he could be on to something but it could be a lot of uh it's just a frustration because you're watching a team go out there and play their hearts out and really give a lot of effort and be right in it and then little things here and there and it does always seem like uh the officials or an extension of the officials seems to have some serious ious impact on these Riders losses in this last month especially so I can see where he's coming from but uh but that that that ain't going to fly when it comes down to it that'll get this by the league and rightly so probably you got to go out there and earn your wins even if you got to be two teams right got beat the team you're playing and some people would say the officials you know I don't think there's much in this game that you could talk about with the officials you got to clean up some of the stakes and Cory m talked about it that they got to punch some of these issues right in the face and they're close don't get us wrong but when you haven't won a game since July 19th that can really grind on a team let's keep it going on the echo sound hotline Byron in Swift Current what do you think of the Riders losing streak and you feel like they're ever going to win again well I guess I tell you what bothers me this is what how many since Harris has been back what how many games in a row has he lost now this four is this like four in a row or is this five in a row since he's been back it's right in that range yeah yeah now I want to ask you a question now how come even with Claris I mean and Claris has got some resume behind him but you know they still put old strer in to run a few short yard uh plays they leave him in once in a while to run a you know few plays on his own why what happened to Patterson why can't they bring him in for a series once in a while I mean I don't think Patterson ever lost three or four or five games in a row uh you know actually I thought Patterson actually played very good for a first year uh quarterback you know why don't they change it up a little bit I'm not saying they have to bench Harris but Harris is 38 years old he ain't going to get no better Patterson if that's what we got to go with he's our future I you know as of right now so why aren't we given him some reps I mean for God's sakes I mean we're if uh uh Edmonton wins today we're tied for well we'll be I guess in fourth place out of the playoff or well yeah well we'll be tied with Edmonton I guess for points anyway I guess no he won't be tied they still be one up because they have the tie Point Calgary and Edmonton both have eight points in the standings Saskatchewan has 11 but I point yeah yeah so any but the point yeah I just I just think you know why don't they run Patterson out there you know I I want to go back to the last game uh that we played when we went for that two points uh how could why wouldn't you put Patterson in that situation and at least in in uh you know you had the option he could maybe have ran it in or you know you could have done a lot of I don't think you want to put a quarterback cold into the game there and let's give Wes a chance to chime in on this CU you're asking him the question but Wes I'll give my take first yeah Trevor Harris is clearly the better quarterback more consistent yes he has lost four games in a row but when Shay Patterson started he was two3 and one as a starter didn't set the world on fire it wasn't awful either was kind of probably pretty solid but can you speak to Shay Patterson perhaps having a package and how that might affect Trevor Harris yeah I kind of been on this same same storyline I don't see why you got a guy who's supposed to be a athletic quarterback supposed to be able to run he's he played at a big school so the moment shouldn't really rattle him he's played well and admirably at the lowest you know he came in and it was around 300 yards a game and and seemed to move the offense okay not as good as Trevor Harris we got to remember though since Trevor Harris has been back was Montreal and Winnipeg are three of those games that's right one top top teams in the league by far so I mean a little a little tougher schedule than when sh running the helm but uh but I agree with you I think you know you got the guy sitting there you got some I'm sure you have some packages and anytime you can throw some wrinkles at a defense get them thinking get them questioning their their packages and how they're going to defense over the top so yeah I'm like we got guys on the roster let's not pay them to sit there and watch everybody else let's put them out there and try to throw some wrinkles and and throw some some new stuff at him let's see if Shay Patterson gets a package after the by week if you want to talk to us on the echo sound hotline 306 936 6262 or 1866

Saskatchewan Ru Riders fall in the Labor Day rematch at Princess Auto Stadium 2621 the Riders still have not won a game since July 19th five of those losses have come by I can't even believe I keep repeating this one point two points three points four points and now Five Points respectively they've gone for the trifecta if you will let's go to the echo sound hotline for a couple of your text messages one texter text in and says at least the Riders won't lose next week on the buy that's harsh harsh but it's a good time to regroup I think it is kind of based on this last streak this is right when they needed this buy it's funny they needed the buy at the beginning of the year to kind of recoup from having a good start and and Harris going out now they needed to just regroup all together but I think a break and and some good work in this bye will serve them well TC continues and says Trevor Harris needs to be punted literally Rider math now fellas it's kind of funny it continues to be very difficult to be positive about this franchise thank you you know I think you can still be positive about the team because they're right there yeah they're playing good ball they're just I mean it's like we talked about a little bit it's young team I know the quarterback's old but really the team is pretty young and they're they're playing but they're they're making some mistakes that I would expect out of a young team just couple little things here and there but Trevor has got to play clean ball like that first pick I'm just like ah this is just not the start I knew I I kind of felt like it was kind of over then just because I'm like I know they're going to play a good game and stay in it but man they can't unless they turn over Zach that's going to be hard to come back for there's a texter that sent one in without a name on it but it says Keen shaer Baker comment in his interview with our Luke Muller quote I don't see this as a loss I see it as a lesson close quote this texter goes on to say that's exactly what is wrong with this team it's mindset it's a loss every loss falling down the standings to last place how does this team change this mindset in your opinions changing that a loss is a boss and not lessons yeah I cringed a little bit when I heard that I was kind of like H I don't think people are going to take that the right way I get what he's what he's getting at is like you know like life lessons it's kind of more of a life moniker or or quote than really because it is it's about wins and losses this is professional sports sports in general even even the participation proy trophy Sports L leag should be about wins and losses so you got to go get these wins and uh for Ken to say that I where he's coming from but not The Tweak the sentiment just a little bit but I get he's basically saying there's always a lesson in a loss but they are L's Ken they are L's I heard that and I was like I don't think rder nation is going to like this because they got time for no more losses because the team hasn't won since July 19th and as you said wins and losses is professional sports that's what you're going to be judged on at the end of the day let's go out on the echo sound hotline Ted in Miami are you in Miami Ohio or Miami South Beach Ted what was that say that again which Miami are you in I'm in Miami Florida Wes how you doing man I'm doing good how about yourself good I haven't called in until this this time this year because I was waiting to see if the Riders were for real and now I know I have my answer but listen I want to start on a positive note uh kudos to CTV for putting the CFL on free television today something that I had been bringing up in the last few years and you know to have that kid that doesn't get to see the CFL but on Sunday oh boy he gets brainwashed by the NFL for free so I'm glad that they put the CFL on TTV today I hope they continue that so we promote the CFL to Canadians where it belongs anyway I love that getting to the game um listen guys I've been watching this team all year I haven't called in and I am seeing the same terrible play calling week in and week out let's go back to last week for a second on that two-point convert the one of the most successful plays in football is the down andout pass if you do that quickly enough and you throw that 10 times you'll that receiver will probably catch an eight out of those 10 times and get you anywhere between five and 10 yards and uh I don't know how many times I've seen it Why didn't it do it last week today the same thing you know uh and late in the game you're I don't know how many times I saw it where they were second and eight and and and uh Mark Mueller is calling a three- yard pass guys that doesn't get you first downs against this team it never will and then we're second and nine late in the game and he does a little one yard pitch forward to whoever that was are you kidding me yeah I was kind of that one threw me a little bit what are they thinking you need a first down you need 20 yards you need 10 yards and every week that play selection absolutely sucks I'm sorry to say it but I don't think it sucks every week okay let me in here for a second all right when you're talking about throwing the out pattern I think that's what you're talking about you want to throw an out pattern in to cut coverage and get your receiver blown up it's not that easy the defense is playing football too yeah you can say they catch it eight out of 10 times but that's hypothetical my man with all due respect and I've actually liked Mark Mueller's play calling for the most part we're just picking apart situations here I think if this offense stops top turning the football over at Key times and sustains some more drives that they can be better but you can't just flat out say with an absolute statement that Mark Mueller sucks as an offensive play caller that's disrespectful his play calling is is good then you're going to continue to lose every game I'm telling you uh if that if you think he's doing play good play calling I'm sure the fans are going to love that for the next few games how many more losses do you want to see pal I mean come on they got to change it up it ain't working okay if they need to change it up give me some tangible play calls that you would like to see then being a on that two-o convert the guy runs and does a a down andout plast to the pass to the right side of the field you throw it he catches it he's in theend I don't think you heard me earlier if you throw that down and out against cut coverage if you know what cut coverage is that receiver is getting blown up and not catching the football if you throw that against man coverage and it's behind a little bit it's getting picked off or knocked down like it's not just as easy as saying run this play and it's a guaranteed two-point convert because the other guys are getting paid on the other side too well so throwing it in the middle of the field towards the goal post is better right but he didn't see it and Trevor Harris talked through that play if you would have understood what was going on he said he saw the field mostly well for that game which I believe that he did especially in the comeback and a pro in Tony Jones flashes underneath a route like this game moves super quickly you know it's so easy to have hindsight and discuss a result that didn't go the way that you wanted it to go I like that you actually have an example you want them to run these out patterns all the time but are they going to run out patterns down the field the entire game that's not going to happen the defense is going to adjust Hey listen I don't need hindsight to know and it's second and nine you're late in the game and you throw one yard pitch forward who called that play So that's fair right Wes talked about it he felt like that wasn't an ideal play call I feel like that is fair criticism I think that's what we're looking for on the show is fair but I'm sure if we talk to Mark Mueller he would tell you his intent behind the play calls and it would Enlighten you just because you think that on the other play you referenced there that they threw you know a shorter pass on second down doesn't mean that there were other routes that were possibly covered that were designed to get past the stick the defense is playing football as well they're not going to give it to them for free we got to keep it going though thanks for the call hopefully hear from you again appreciate the suggestions let's go to Kim in Regina Kim what did you think of the Labor Day rematch it's disappointing but uh Hey You sun will come up tomorrow but it's uh you know it's some point good teams find a way to win and uh we're not a good team right now and whether we're making coaches mistakes or player mistakes every game we do something different that seems to beat us so we're not a good team but it's uh you know coming back from the bye we might be in last place and maybe you got to start looking at what are we doing for next year and maybe it's time to start the young guy and see what he can do cuz if it isn't him then we need to find another quarterback because Harris is probably on the on the Downs side of his playing career you'd like to bench Trevor Harris and start Shay Patterson is that what you're saying that's what I'm saying like at some point you need to find another quarterback and hey if we're out of the playoffs uh you might as well start them now I mean we're definitely not out of the playoffs I mean no matter what happens in this bye they're going to have their Destiny in there they've got Calgary twice now I mean we're looking at those as wins and then you got a A couple of BC and Edington who are playing good football right now but there's it's easily conceivable that they could end up in second or third place if they turn if they get things turned around but we'll let that happen when it happens at the end of the day this team is not a a bad team they've just been on the bad side of a lot of close games is it possible yeah anything's possible is it likely probably not well they have lost a lot of close games I think we need to keep that perspective they are definitely losses not lessons because they count in the standings but this team is close like really close but you're right when you talked about those kind of handful of plays that happen in a game you know the Willie Jefferson punt block inexcusable cannot happen I don't care if that guy's a freak looks like a basketball player gets his big hand up there and swats it away you just cannot have that as you can see the Highlight live on our YouTube channel at Sports cage.com and also streaming live on Twitter at Sports cage you just cannot have those mistakes you cannot have these mistakes late in the football game and West referenced it I felt like that was a big possession in around four minutes to go in the fourth quarter the offense didn't do much with it Trevor Harris said he wanted all the smoke well the riders need to start living up to their words let's keep it going on the echo sound hot line brought to you by echos sound your SaskTel authorized dealer in Fort Capel get the newest cell phone today with an amazing sasel rate plan Ernie in Regina do you still have faith that the Riders can be contenders this year well we'll see I mean honestly so hey guys I've never called in before but first time caller longtime listener viewer we love it man keep it coming yeah you bet you you bet you uh I you know you know I just want to bring up something um AJ olette is he not getting paid 100,000 160,000 to be exact yes okay okay so yeah we lost him oh Ernie's gone can we hear you Ernie are you there yeah yeah I'm here okay we got you keep going sorry no I'm I'm just wondering what the hell are we doing with that what are like AJ olette he was supposed to be a beast right beast from the East and he's came over he's played how many games a a couple got injured each time and now he's getting paid 160 Grand which we could use for another player could we not well CU what did you think of AJ olette before this season tell me that much first before okay I thought he was a beast okay I honestly call beast from the East Wes is just trying to give some perspective here and let's get it right he's played in seven games run the ball 114 times for 466 yards and three touchdowns 4.1 yards per carry average is that ideal no but I'm sure if you AJ ulette what would he choose being healthy and playing or being on the sideline this guy definitely wants to play okay he's chomping at the bit I think the Riders doing the smart thing here because he has been banged up dealing with multiple injuries you got to have the guy healthy I get your point that you're paying him this kind of money $160,000 he's the highest paid American running back in the league the only running back that's paid higher is Brady Oliva who the Riders face today against the Blue Bombers but you want your guy healthy Wes you know what that's like yeah for sure and Brady Ola hasn't even been playing great football against the rider now he got into the passing game a little bit today and and and gashed him a couple of times but running the rock definitely hasn't been um yeah he hasn't been a threat to the Riders anyway but at the end of the day you do want to be healthy and running back is a tough position I mean if anything maybe you talk about AJ just not really being smart about taking care of himself and trying to play through some injuries that maybe he should have set himself down on but uh as far as his ability when he's healthy we I think everybody can agree that he would be worthy of a salary around what he's getting right now so I get you and it and it's rough that the Riders have to bear the brunt of that salary and the lack of his performance and playing this year but that's what happens with football I mean we're dealing with injuries across the board not just at a spot like running back where you're paying a guy a lot but o lineman receiver and it's just something you got to deal with thanks for the call Kim if you want to dial us up on the echo sound hotline 306 936 6262 or 1866 767 0620 more of your calls and text messages on the other side this is

Riders lose on the road in Winnipeg for the Labor Day classic rematch 2621 it's now seven straight games without a win because that tie is in there in the nation's Capal P against the Ottawa red blacks the Riders as it stands right now for everybody curious let's make sure we get this right sit third place in the west division no matter what happens today they'll still be in third place but perhaps if the Elks go on a little bit more of a heater or extend their current heater that they're on they could jump the riders in the standings after the bye if the stamps win a couple games in a row they could jump the Riders but right now as it stands the Riders are in third place they will be in third place after this week is over as well let's go to the echo sound hotline Nolan in Saskatoon do you still have faith in the Riders this year yes hello hey Nolan how's it going good you good what do you think about the game do you have faith in the rers still I I still do I love the fight the team the fight in the team is the big thing that I'm impressive with noan can you do me a favor and turn down your Source in the background there [Music] there we go yeah now we can hear you loud and clear there was an echo there so you still have faith in the team why is that um I still think that the coaching staff is still solid I still like I still love Cory mace as the head coach and just I love the fight in the team they just there's no they don't give up that's true there something to be said for that Wes I think so I mean when you're it's one thing always said a coach is done when you see two basically two twocor losses in a row maybe you're giving the benefit out of the doubt on the second one but the third one for sure if guys dropping games by more than 10 points then I think they've lost the team but this team is still fighting for mace I think they're still fighting for each other and I think they they believe in the their ability but they're just like at at the end of each one of these games they're like it's almost like what happened they they kind of can't put their finger on it can't get it figured out but I think they can come together sort some things out and and really just try to try to hone in on some of the errors they're making and and really try to prep better for some games and find ways to win right now they're like everybody's talking about they're finding ways to lose but they can really flip that and find ways to win just with a couple of different tweaks to to their prep Nolan I'll give you one last thought on the game if you want because you were quick off the top anything else you want to get in um I just want to know what you guys think of the when they when they punted it instead of kick a long field goal Wes what do you think uh I think sometimes you're just a little little worried about what could happen if if you miss and I yeah and sometimes the the field position game is a good game to play so you pin them pin teams in and then a lot of times if you can get right back off the field you're kind of in the same situation and maybe can get a little better chip at it uh so I either way I don't mind cuz what was it going to be like a 51 yard or something I mean I guess I guess uh uh lther did hit one from 50 earlier and it did look like he was kicking solid so maybe they should have went for it there but I do get the field position Play Because especially on the CFL field a field position uh is is a big factor thanks for the call Nolan let's go to Tyler in Regina what did you think of the Riders performance in the Labor Day rematch um I I I'm still a big huge believer of the Riders um I find it funny how a lot of people are over exaggerating on on our losses um honestly if you look back at our games and we played 10 weeks straight without a buy we're playing with our 15th or 16th offens lineman uh we're dealing with other injuries on our team key players are missing um the old team from last year would have folded after the block kick um even after their touchdown after the interception that first inter ception was not our head our quarterback's fault um I think that you're crazy if you think putting in uh your backup quarterback uh was going to change the the effects of the game um you go out there with your with your Aces to your places you got to I'm still a big believer in these guys I don't think that they're done they're still going to oh yeah Tyler might have been gone but he was making some good points there and if you are tuning in live on youtube.com slsports cage.com or Twitter sportscage you can see the highlights from this game Trevor Harris the good Trevor Harris the bad the Willie Jefferson punt block that cost the Riders three points one of those interceptions cost the Riders seven points so 10 points given away early in the football game but that seemed to me Wes like calm Rider fan who has a little bit of hindsight on this team that isn't out of control yeah I do he he made a a bunch of great points I do think that technically that pick wasn't Trevor's fault but sometimes when I watch quarterbacks throw into a lot of traffic and put so much on the receiver coming out of a crazy break to get his footing and be able to snag it and maybe take a hit sometimes it's like ah maybe you hold off on that just to protect the ball and not you know maybe it hits off the receiver's pads or just the receiver is in traffic and can't really focus so you don't necessarily put your receiver in that spot now granted if he comes out of it nice keeps his feet maybe it's just a completion and we're not talking about it but but it was it was it was a pass into a lot of traffic that's mainly what I didn't like about it if you want to get in on

don't miss any of the calls catch the podcast at sports cage.com we want to hear from you on the echo sound hotline get in on the fun Rider Nation after that loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2621 in the Labor Day rematch this segment is brought to you by Arcola Co-op you're at home here on Highway 13 in Arcola let's keep it going with some calls here where we going next my man Taylor in Regina what did you think of the Riders performance at the Paw as they call it Princess Auto Stadium hey guys uh just wanted to mention I don't think I've done it the last couple of times I called in but I do appreciate you Justin and you Wes and I also missed the professor too but I I I love the show um and to be honest in the last seven games it's probably been the most positive experience for the ref Riders so uh and the one thing I'll say to the last caller and and just reference two quick things that you and Wes said uh Wes you you're normally very very smart but with the football comments and things like that but I do want to tell you there's no given wins in the CFL so when you commented on us playing the St Peters I don't know my friend I I appreciate your confidence I think that was Luke no I said I said I said there's two games against the stamps which I guess you could consider wins but oh I got you still got to go play them and all I'm saying my friend is like I I'm I'm not convinced you know you're saying you got to earn right you're no matter who is on the roster no matter who is coaching and I do love Cory Ma and I'm a huge fan the same thing like I I'm not comparing this year to last year or the year prior but if you look back at the previous years the same sequence has happened and happened and happened and happened we are we there is figh in our guys there is a better team at the end of the day a loss is a loss we are getting no points there's no points on the board I mean Winnipeg's not a great team either I'm not going to listen to that because they're not I mean you look at if they go up they show up and play BC right now with Nathan Rook or they show up and play Montreal they're gonna get in my opinion they're going to get bombed those two are Stellar teams they look really really good right now um we in my opinion we have the team to beat Winnipeg uh we definitely should have beat Winnipeg the last couple of times but it's just like labor when you let 19 points or whatever it was scored on you in the second quarter that's a hard thing to come back from same thing here at the beginning of the game when the peg gets 10 points over silly mistakes it it's it's no different you know and and as a Rough Rider fan being a fan of this team for I don't know how many years I'm gonna say it and I'm sorry if you guys are upset about it Reynold and OD day this loss is not on them the loss before not on them but as a whole when are we going to say enough is enough because they have not proven anything to me them two guys in the past how many seasons you can talk about the talent they brought in you can talk about all that like all day all night but we're not winning it's close though and it does feel different I know Ryder Nation doesn't want to hear that but it feels different from the previous regime and they're right there I mean rder Nation doesn't want to hear it but they're literally right there yeah they're playing good football and I mean even as the injuries Stack Up still find like Jeremy OD day still going out and finding guys that are coming in and serving admirably at like with one week of prep or or basically no week of prep like we got you got to kind of keep things into perspective I get where where you're coming from like it's results a result driven industry and uh right now the results aren't coming but I would say uh objectively looking at it they have improved from last year as far as being competitive and just uh the writer fandom as a whole like I mean you talk about what all they're doing then you got to start pulling in like sales and and merchandise and all that like let's just let's just uh I just agree to disagree because you're talking real Nuance stuff right here and like we're talking about a team that what 10 20 points and there were losses combined seven Lo or seven weeks without a win and we're talking about like a couple of scores that separates them all do you want to get one final comment in Taylor before we let you go yeah I'm sorry guys I you're right and I I I apologize I'm not trying to seem like tile your job I just guys I'm a DI hard I bleed green I really do and I'm tired of the L I'm tired of it I I do agree with a comments especially about Wes earlier about why we're not putting in sheae pattern to every now and then on you know second and three or in a half yard and you know on third down I I do think that he he he has potential and I think we should start weeding him in slowly especially if we're going to continue these losses but at the end of the day it's a l the Lost guys and I'm honestly getting tired of seeing it as a Rough Rider fan so that's kind of what I'll leave it with and can you tell me where the professor went because I do miss him on he's around we got the professor he's on deck he's all he's always ready to pinch hit you know what I'm saying so we we'll see about getting the professor on back back before the end of the season all three of you guys are pretty epic together so you should get them back on for sure thanks Taylor appreciate you calling in man guys like you the show yeah I feel I feel tellor though and right now I I would say everybody in Ryder Nation including the coaches and management need to be a little nervous and unsettled about this week off where you can't do anything about where you're sitting but watching angs like uh let's hope some some teams kind of help us out here it's not a good position to be in and they need to come out of this with the realization that they've got they have to take Destiny into their own hands and they've got to take some wins away from these other teams nobody's going to give it to them and whoever needs to come in and talk or however they need to group up who whatever uh motivation they need they better go find it because it's getting real indeed man stretch run starts in Calgary got to get a win over the stamp P there I don't care how good they are if they lose their next couple games or not the Riders have to get a win Cory mace admitted before the game that they're all must wins and really in professional football it's not even cliche because you got to win every game man there's only so many games 18 games in the CFL reg regular season excuse me goes fast let's go out to Ken in Colona what did you think of the Rough Riders performance in the Labor Day rematch well that's fine like I wasn't expecting a wi tell you the truth but the reason I called is uh I don't know I use the word brutal a lot the last game here because first of all the refereeing in the CFL is brutal it's BR it's worse than what's worse than brutal I don't know what the word is but that's what it is not consistent consistently inconsistent so it is they're all over the place this rough in the pastor thing is out of control the guy hits our guy and then gets into my next brutal thing about Brown is the way suor is absolutely the worst color man I've ever heard in sports like he's so anti- Rider it makes me ill like he play for the Riders though let's remember that I know he talked about this in the pregame show he's not anti- anybody he's trying to call the game down the line he isn't when is the last time he said anything positive about a game if you actually watch the game and listen to him if it's one way or the other maybe he's over overdoing it that he played for the Riders but always against the Riders when Keen schaer Baker made that 81 yard catch and run he didn't say one good thing about him I'm pretty sure he did I'm talking about anything that's on the line about a ref anything to do with the refs it's always us it's always oh yeah like never against the other team never just watch a game I watch a game every game and he's either he thinks well I used to be the rider so I got to go the other way but it's ridiculous how he he's supposed to he doesn't think that he explained that in the pregame show you should go back and listen to it archived it's in yeah he's explained that a few times this season like it's definitely top of mind for him I yeah I I love the fact K that you brought up that play though because I I wasn't going to bring it up but man I wanted to talk about it like that was so first of all nobody wants to talk about how the guard like basically bear hugged Brown then fell to the ground had his arm around his waist basically pulled him down into uh strer and then he didn't even hit strer below the knee he hit him on the thigh board and because the old lineman was draped all over him that's what made him kind of fall into his knee even more and then I thought it was a great pass interference challenge by Cory mace and Lawler clearly has the DB's arm as he jumps up and literally pulls him down out of the air and they're talking about a little bit of hand fighting before that I thought it was a s I can't remember who the DB was but he definitely didn't extend in his arm when he had his hand on uh Lawler's back he just felt him went up for the ball wanted to go up with two hands Lawler grabs his arm down pulls him out of the air he still almost one hands it and the ref's like oh play stands is called I thought both of those calls went the wrong way I get maybe the technicality of the rule Brown did end up rolling into str's knee but I thought it was a clean hit once again and we're talking about him I don't think Browns had a dirty plate yet this season I totally agree and then you listen to my buddy suor on that call just go back and I don't have to replay the pregame show Replay that moment they're going up what a dirty hit went went to his knees he didn't go to his knees he hit him Thad or even a bit higher and the guy is hanging on his back so now you got 600 pounds landing on the quarterback there should have been a holding penalty there should have been not even a penalty to hit the quarterback and there should have been interference so there's three calls there went haywire and then later ambulance gets like hand in the face when you're going for that pass down to three yard line no penalty yeah it's so inconsistent Ford was there the game their coach is always in the refs here like they should hire me just to walk along the sideline like him and just Bark At The Ref the whole game because that's what he does ref's got he's been in the league a long time he's got the most games bl's like the biggest coach too I think the ref might be a little little scared when he's in the prox he's like oh he's hands reach yeah yeah yeah you're right coach all right my bad exactly and that's one of the reasons they get the calls they've had for a few years like how many times if you watch I'm not talking one foot offside I'm talking three yards offside demsky so many times there's a lot of receivers that are offside in that Halo Zone I guess we'll call it Ken we got some other callers man we got to keep it moving thanks for the call all the way from Colona let's continue on the echo sound hotline where are we going next here my man Michael Jim in Winnipeg what did you think of that game the rematch Labor Day classic in Winnipeg well as a ryer fan it's very painful to live in Winnipeg and and watch that I didn't go to the game because I'm a curse to the Riders I went nine games in a row years ago Riders lost every game I stopped going we end up having a playoff game in 2013 and then Kent Keith went for 213 yards that game or something so I don't go uh it was disappointing um but I think uh we're a good team earlier in the year when we were having a winning streak I believe somebody asked ma what does this team have to face he said adversity I think we're facing a bit of adversity I think they're handling it well because we're so damn close in every every game so far so that's how I feel um yeah we've had some bad calls go against us but we're still playing we're playing hard I think these guys are playing to win I see a lot more spirit and a lot more determination than last year and uh I'm looking forward to the to the rest of this season I'm sure we're going to do better than we have in the last couple Seasons at least after Labor Day well said man thanks for the call Quick and dirty to the point we like that if you want to get in to talk to us on the echo sound hotline 306 936 6262 or toll-free 1866 76706 to0 more calls

on today's game text it to us for the writer Nation radio Roundtable postgame show 306 936 6262 don't miss any of the calls catch the podcast at sports.com your Saskatchewan Rough Riders suffer a nether close loss this time in the Labor Day rematch 2621 on the road to the W rival excuse me Winnipeg Blue Bombers West we haven't touched on this we talked about in the pregame show but this win gives the Blue Bombers the season series so if these two teams happen to be tied in the standings which probably isn't likely unless the bombers have a tie then that would give them the go-ahead in terms of playoff positioning but nonetheless the Riders fall again they have gone winless in seven straight games five of those losses have come by five points or less literally one point two points three points four points and Five Points respectively in those losses the other loss was to the Edmonton Elks I believe it was by 11 points I think 4231 and then there was that tie in the nation's capital let's go to the echo sound hotline Andrew in Saskatoon how do you feel about the Riders playing 10 straight weeks on a seven game winless streak going into the Buy I couldn't ask for a buy at a better point right now because it is tough not to watch but tough to sit there and you know you lose close and close and it's like oh it's one thing here one thing there um kind of thing so it is it is tough and frustrating to watch you have any thoughts on the game today that went down in Winnipeg yeah one thing I do want to say is the one call that called about Glenn I don't know if you guys watched the game but Glenn did talk about how bomber fans you know are going to start to wonder if miles Brown is a dirty player and maybe they have a bit of a reason whatnot so he is making comments like that that I think is what's frustrating to us Ryder fans I love him he's obviously a saskatch and great no hate towards them Etc but it's those comments I think a lot of fans are tired of um and two I I don't know what Wes thinks but why when you play Winnipeg and they have such a great pass rush do you have six carries going into like the middle of the third quarter like I I don't understand that one of the key things should be to make them play run defense first and we aren't doing that yeah I think it was it was that bad start but at the end of the day I mean you're talking to a running back here come on Andrew like yes like you got to stick with it like it's it's frustrating to me I mean I guess I was part of more of a passing offense my last couple of years so I would come out of games with like 10 12 carries if I was lucky so it's kind of the nature of the league but I agree you got a a strong offense you want to and a good defense you want to tire that defense out Frankie hickon what what was Frankie Frankie had nine for 46 5.1 yard average that says he should have got closer to 20 carries and they should have just kind of tried to grind it out and keep that Winnipeg D out there then maybe late in the game when Winnipeg is getting those moving the sticks and getting those first downs maybe it's flipped and the Riders are going up against a warn down down Winnipeg D and they're able to get down the field and maybe score you know get the game-winning field goal game-winning touchdown depending on how things worked out so I'm with you the Riders didn't run enough they were it was 10 quick they ended up getting back in it pretty quickly after that so I think they should have stuck with the run more Frankie Hixon nine carries for 46 yards 5.1 yards per carry Wes you're right man keep giving the guy the football and a lot of people will talk about the way to beat Willie Jefferson is to run right at him be ultra physical with him and that can obviously help you on passing Downs too if you've tired him out beaten them up by running the football at him had different offensive lineman hit him have some of these fullbacks that they have on the roster Wes that you talk about all the time hit him trap him catch him with an earhole shot that's legal of course from different avenues that you know I think some people would like to see that from rder Nation this team perhaps stick with the running game a little bit more let's go to tayor in Regina what did you think of the Riders loss in Winnipeg H was this me talking to Tyler sorry Tyler what's up dude yeah it's me again um I don't know where I was with my talk before I don't sure what you heard um oh that's okay give us the goods man keep it concise though okay so uh in the the Riders um they the old team would have folded right after right after that field goal or that Miss block and after the fir the 10 points in the first part of the game the old team would have folded um this week last week uh when we were behind big they would have folded too there's no way they would have came back last week like they did um we're the only team in the league who plays uh 10 weeks straight without a buy we played 10 games in 66 days against the best teams in the league against three against Wiig two against Toronto one against BC two against Montreal one against Ottawa and then one against Edmonton and we've only lost by Five Points in five of those games when you're playing that good against teams that are in the standings and are above 500 you can't really complain too much well said man you got it all in there thanks for the call West and thoughts on that yeah no I think he's right it's just at the end of the day they've got to get enough wins to get into third place and get into this playoffs or I guess maybe you can look at a crossover but that's not happening this year anyway I don't I don't think so so yeah no it's it's it's true but uh yeah you don't want to be you don't want to be the team that's also good but not good enough to be in the playoffs you want to be one of those playoff teams so that's what the writers have to be thinking about I don't care how they get these wins but they got to get them and they're they're right there in front of them for the taking so they got got to figure it out coming up more of your calls and text messages you can get in and talk to

winless streak has gone along let's go on the echo sound hotline to Jerry and Saskatoon what did you think of the Riders playing the bombers today yeah hey guys I just want to follow up on that brown hit and sudor look I'm 61 years old I appreciate suter's position and and look I love the man and he went a broadcasting career here trying to run away from being a a rider Homer and he's done a great job I mean he's tried to walk the line but I really have to support some other guys here calling in going look he he uh effectively put gas on that fire if you look at that replay Brown was being held and and it's kind of hold that happens on every play and suder could have made that comment he could look he's he's being held it's the it's the type of hold that happens on every play he fought through it and he leaped at the quarterback and and you know he catches him above the knee he didn't hit him at the knees or below the knees it wasn't dirty but I'm sorry sudor threw gas on that fire and as much as I love the man he could do a little bit more to not be so run away from being a RI an ex Rider I'm not see saying even he has to be a rider fan uh but you know that that play Brown isn't a dirty player the the game before yeah that was a dirty hit the man should have been fined and and sat on the bench uh but that play he's fighting through it and you know uh in my opinion made a good tackle um in instead we've got you know angst over that play then downfield the replay calls no interference and and clearly the guy is being uh it was sales being being grabbed and and uh you know pulled down for not making the play um otherwise I'm just disappointed I mean I don't look uh maybe it's the five years of Dickinson Dickerson and watching him just screw the team up uh and I'm I'm willing to to let uh Cory mace and and uh offensive coordinator some slack here but seven losses in a row and we're not getting any better the defense is got too many holes uh playing this this zone defense um they're better than that I think they're better than that I don't think they have to play such deep zones uh giving up those kinds of plays uh the offense quite frankly either we have rookies or uh we need better receivers because people are dropping passes uh not making the cuts they should and I love these guys I would love to sit here and go oh look at all great receivers we have too many drop passes too many plays that you go Harris threw it in the right place I mean look at at at uh was it Hixon dropped one on a on a go yeah go R um just brutal just brutal and it happens every game that would have put him game yeah those are the kinds of things I think during this winning sorry not winning streak winless streak that have happen like Frankie hickson's got to have that ball yeah you want to talk about mistakes that have been made to give the other team points well you got to make the plays that are there for you as well Frankie hickon was streaking down the sideline you know I don't know if that would have been a touchdown for sure but it definitely would have been a big game I know one thing for sure though my man West Kates would have caught that football probably take to the house real quick yeah he ain't lying now there was some over the top safety help but it was still it was like a 30 yard drop it in the bucket it was perfect I think he just got a little excited cuz it worked out too good and it was coming in just right he kind of threw the hands out a little early he just looked a little uncomfortable maybe he needs to slide over with the receivers work a few more drills with them thanks for the call and don't forget you can get in on the pick the score weekly contest on 620 CKRM there's a winner every Friday sponsored by SaskTel pick the score with ckm and SaskTel tune in for your chance to win tickets to the next Rider home game sasel stay connected let's go out on the echo sound hotline Greg in Saskatoon what did you think of the Riders showing in Winnipeg hello hello Greg you got us hi yeah I've got you on speaker phone it's just a little easier here I've been it on the back deck here watching the game today on the season ticket holder um I first off I'd like to say how much I appreciate from being a seasoned ticket holder and driving all those uh long drives back to South Katon the last especially the last few weeks what what's gone on that uh you know you you get us home uh safely and it's always interesting and there's a lot of uh great comments that are made and uh and I'd like to thank you for that for sers appreciate thanks a lot man appreciate you calling in yeah and watching the game today uh well you know it seems like we find uh like I said to Brenda before the game I will it'll all depend on on what's going to happen today but seems like there's always some bad breaks one way or another that have been going our way in the last few games and of course uh that's usually what the defined point is especially when you're only you're in close games and you lose um it's I I I realize the effort that's being put out by the team I I I almost feel as bad at for them as I do for the the fans that are watching because uh the effort has been great they they don't quit and they play right to the whistle and uh and that part has been good and uh all I can say about it is uh you know a few plays to today that uh I watch a lot of football and I guess the two plays right that bothered me the most was the shovel pass on on h a second and nine after Hixon had ran for one yard and the time was winding down in the game you realized that uh you know that somehow we have to generate a first down and probably that's not a high percentage play to get us the first down so that one kind of bothered me and I never did see the first Trevor Harris interception uh according to uh Glenn Suter that our uh hey my man you can see it live right now on our YouTube channel youtube.com Sports cage.com my dude Curtis over here is rolling both the interceptions you just missed him you could have seen it but the last one you don't want to tune in on YouTube like from watch you don't want to tune in on YouTube like a deep can you hear me hello he's speaker out he's got us you don't want to tune in on youtube.com you can see the replays of the interceptions you were talking about did you hear what I said oh I see I see yeah I guess I could go to youtube.com sports cage.com did you catch that and the comment I would make is he kind of the ball to me youtube.com sports.com did you get that it was kind of like you throwing a de no you didn't that's okay uh that and I was expecting that the defensive backs were going to have a good chance to intercept that one unless unless the guy's wide open so so that part of it I you know it makes you wonder and uh and where we're going to go from here we have an older quarterback um it's hard to see where we're going to go I I'll just and I'm not going to say that Patterson is is the answer but what I did like from watching the guy is uh is he plays you know at full out to his abilities and I was at the game in BC where he's durable where they hit him at the goal line and his helmet came off and he got up and walked back to the to the tile I I thought he demonstrated a lot of uh leadership when he was out there and uh and a lot of people are saying we need to get another quarterback in here but you know you got to look at Mark Mueller he's a a new uh offensive coord coordinator and uh he's learning I think on the goal a little bit too with some of the things he's doing and he does some good things and then some things that you know obviously could have been better um but I think that you look at a quarterback like Patterson as he grows and Mark Muer uh grows into his position I I think there's a future with those those uh with that combination that's my opinion what what I like about Patterson and the same thing like Patrick momes uh was a baseball player and I think Patterson was another guy that could have been drafted in h baseball he can throw off balance he can throw uh acoss his body he can throw a sidearm there's a lot of things that you still like with Patterson and and like I say there's a lot of upside to him so you know I I'm just thinking that this year are we going to see him probably not a lot might be nice to see him for a few series but uh but anyways that's my thought on things I haven't called in I'm I've been watching the writer since the days of Ron Lancaster and George Reed I'm 7even years old so I've seen a lot of it and generally I like listening to the shows and I really like it when when the team achieves and we just sit back and and go along for the ride and it is a rough pass right now but uh I I like our coach and I have to tell even like our general manager because our grafts have been good there's no to me there's no doubt the uh quality of the players we have is as good as anybody else out there I mean we don't have a work obviously or whatever but I I think we have some great players and have done well in the draft and sooner or later they're going to turn it around that's what we I feel thanks for the call and if you want maybe Brenda can help you get signed up for youtube.com or Twitter and you can see some of these highlights live in color let's keep it going on the echo sound hotline which is brought to you by Echo sound your SaskTel authorized dealer in Fort Capel get the newest cell phone today with an amazing sasel rate plan Leanne in Regina what did you think of the rider's performance in the Labor Day rematch lean oh I kind of nodded off there listening to whatever that was he did make a good point about the the the baseball players Kyler Murray Russell Wilson Pat homes these are all guys that can throw off off spot pretty accurately on the move all that stuff I wish we could afford to pay those guys to come up [Laughter] here about this game I was just thinking you know I went up just running around and Trevor Harris is what 39 38 39 right in there yeah 38 so starting next year he's going to be pushing it and there is a window this offseason of free agent quarterbacks it's will not stay in BC and is Calgary probably be looking for a quarterback we'll be looking for a quarterback uh Trey Ford which I don't know if they're gonna let go but I think he's a free agent he is yes pending free agent in the last year of his contract moud Bethal Thompson only signed a oneye deal yeah see I can't see them letting letting him go I think mcbath might even just be done after this year depending on what the eskimos do he doesn't really need to play for the money anymore um so I would say we go after to VA because Mark mugler is handcuffed and I love tror I mean he's a great guy I love him I've loved him since he's been here but Mark mu is so what's her handcuff to what he can call because Trevor can't run and unfortunately you need a mo for for unfortunately for Trevor you need a mobile quarterback to run any offense that's other than Zach I mean that's kind of you know a one-offs but you look at all the other teams that are mobile quarterbacks and there's only so many plays in the playbook for a guy that can't running just Downs there in throws well they tell you T Us in on youtube.com you can see Trevor Harris running in the Labor Day classic he had a couple first downs yeah and they tell they tell Zack to hey come over here with us on the sideline let's strer go out there and run some play which we've had callers call in and say maybe they need to have a package you know for Shay Patterson that's it's kind of essentially you're still getting your running quarterback threat in there it's just not the same individual so you can still threaten teams and make them have to prepare for it but uh yeah you're making good points I as always Leanne the I mean the window's so small if you want to sign one of these guys it's not going to be happening again for another how many years and that I'm pretty sure Vernon Adams is pretty close to the salary that Trevor Harris is making and I believe we have the talent Elsewhere on the field that uh with the mobile quarterback we can do some run pass options we can do some quarterback draws you can do so many things with with a mobile quarterback that he can't call with Trevor you know make it's just and I can't see Calgary paying big money for for agent quarterback they never have and when they had a chance to resign ball they wouldn't do it because he wanted more money so I really can't see Calgary going out and paying Vernon Adams money I they never have paid big money for a quarterback and when their contracts are up they let them go you know so St Peters did pay big money to Bly V Mitchell there for a while around $700,000 after his raise yeah but when it's was time for his raise you know they said no and no they got stuck with may but Al also the defense I so frustrated we don't how many sacks do we have the Riders actually led the league of sacks entering the G like 35ish or something wow cuz I watched this second and long defense you see the DBS all line up at the first down marker at second and whatever they all go back in a little Halo at the first down marker so there's gaps between the pass rush and the secondary they're like that Kenny Lawler that was Kenny Lawler drive just he was finding the holes and they were just dropping it in yeah found another hole they dropped it into him like we need why can't this team play manto man I don't understand like mix you don't have to do it all the time but there's definitely some manto man mixed in there yeah I think I wouldn't play a bunch of Zone against Zach but you got mix up a little bit I think Zach was just catching him in it basically yeah like I mean there's just and Cory ma seems and I I I'm not saying fir think but he's struggling like he's with I don't understand that challenge and then he didn't even know miles Brown got a penalty for roughing the passer he was just F how do you know that he had an interview he didn't know on spos game interview he didn't know that there's that penalty was called well that's cuz it wasn't a penalty they just threw a flag but anyway what I'm saying he didn't know he was you know worried about this passing fance penalty that there never even was you don't think you don't think that was a passinger did you watch the replay no no no way not even close what are you talking about must talking about two different plays you didn't see offensive pass interference Sals went up for the pick he undercut the play went up for the pick and Lawler grabbed his arm I mean it was it was obvious I I don't know I guess it maybe it just happened so close that it's kind of like when Ford hit emilis early down on the goal line but it was a bang bang play so maybe they didn't see that as a penalty but I mean he was there early like there's it could have saved that for a little bit later I mean there's more P interference sometimes if it's not real obvious they're not going to call it yeah I hear you you have a final thought lean yeah H special teams I'm sorry Mary Alfred you got to get one got to get some TDS here like he's probably last now he was probably the best returner coming into the season now he's probably average or the worst returner he's got to get start getting some TDS you're not blocking for him like they need to though he's he's getting hit by two three guys there was one punt return he got one catch he made there and there's four guys bearing down on him and only one blocker yeah you know so fairness too like he's not getting the box but he's got to make it happen somehow because that's we that's huge that's that's a game Turner right there but finally that I just say at the end of the year you got to go get Veron Adams or somebody mobile out there um obviously not Moi he's older and injury-prone too but I don't even know about Dustin crom it's either Trey forward or VA and you go for it I think you'll see um better options for Martin You Callin offense because this just isn't anything thrilling to watch let's see what happens here stretch run coming up thanks for the call lean thanks the Riders have five games left they go on the bye they played 10 games in a row without a break next game is the Saskatchewan Rough rers on the road Friday September 20th kickoff 7:30 p.m. at McMahon Stadium against the Calgary Stan Peters West final thought what do you have to do throughout the bye as a player to come back refreshed and end this winless streak yeah I mean it's it's tough as a older player even when I got into the league I was 25 so I I kind of always had a bit of a veteran mentality but these guys it's really just going to be about taking care of yourself taking care of your body getting in the training room taking care of those little bumps and bruises aches and pains anything that's bugging you getting that stuff right so that your body feels good and then it's it's about the extra work obviously you're going in the film you're you're sitting down with the coaches you're breaking down your plays and you're looking at your opponent but you got to go through all the looks and you got to talk about it with your teammates and understand what you're trying to get accomplished on every play and that's when you start seeing things really come together and and different guys on the team making plays and doing the things that get you to possession wins and and you get to go out there and kneel on it right now they're just kind of playing and reacting it feels like I feel like the group as a whole is Galvanized and they like each other and it's a good locker room and they respect the coaches but they're but they're not the young guys need to understand that to put the work in to go get that pay playoff money you got to start putting that extra time in and understanding your opponent it's like uh The Art of War man you got to know yourself and know know your opponent to get these wins for the coaching staff Wes what do Corey mace and Mark Mueller have to do I say that because ma is a defensive coordinator to help the players get over that threshold from a close loss to a win I mean as a coach you you got to do your job and and really try to scheme up some some plays that guys can get excited around some blitzes and and some offensive like some new wrinkles in the offense but at the end of the day you got to put the owners on the players and challenge them because there's only so many new wrinkles you can throw in guys the team ultimately has to be good at their base stuff and be able to execute at a high level so you know challenge the guys to go out there execute put the work in whatever they need to do outside of practice to go out there and get it done I can't go make the plays for you fellas you got to make these plays we're going to do our best to put you in a position to win now go win like go go make those plays not dropping picks not dropping passes not reading the defense wrong and trying to squeeze it in there or not keeping leverage or things of this nature no do it right the right way every play that's the only way it's going to happen that's the name of the game the Riders have to win coming off this bye they are currently 5 seven and one on the season third place in the west division and then next time we'll talk to you is Friday September 20th the Rough Rider on the
