The 3-0 Riders were at practice on Tuesday for the first time since their 24-20 victory over Edmonton on Saturday.
SB Chris Getzlaf missed the workout due to a calf injury. Coach Ken Miller says Getzlaf was “kicked” during the Edmonton game and has experienced considerable swelling in the area. He DOES expect Getzlaf to play Saturday in Calgary.
The focus of the reporters’ questions was on punter Louie Sakoda and his 26.6 yard average against the Eskimos. He says he’ll work his way out of it, and coach Miller said as of today he expects Sakoda will be on the roster this week.
CBC’s Glenn Reid asked Louie if he expected to be cut after the Edmonton game, and he answered that he doesn’t think that way.
Also special teams coordinator Jim Daley said they expect to see more out of KOR/PR Dominque Dorsey and they’ll be working on things this week to help make that happen.
Coach Miller said he gave a 30-minute presentation to his kickers and long-snappers this morning about mental focus, which is the same presentation he gave his QBs last year.
