Riders News

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

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

The Montreal Alouettes return from the bye week without Cody Fajardo. The veteran quarterback won’t play Thursday night when Montreal (5-1) hosts the Saskatchewan Roughriders (5-1) in a battle of division leaders. Fajardo went on the six-game injured list Wednesday after sustaining a hamstring ailment in the Alouettes’ 37-18 loss to the Toronto Argonauts on July 11. […]

Last Friday, the Saskatchewan Roughriders beat their prairie rivals, the Winnipeg Blue  Bombers, 19-9. On the latest episode of Double Talk with Darian Durant, he was honest when he talked about the last play of the game where Bomber’s Adam Bighill hit Riders’ QB Shea Patterson after he threw the ball away. “You know what,” […]

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

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

HARVARD MEDIA SPORTS CAGE –  Four games, four victories for the Saskatchewan Roughriders to start their 2024 Canadian Football League campaign. Veteran defensive back Marcus Sayles scored the game-winning touchdown on a 54-yard pick-six with 6:25 left in the fourth quarter, one of five turnovers the Riders forced in their 30-23 victory on Thursday night over […]

This game’s too hard, man. There’s too much sacrifice, and far too much politics. You’ve gotta be a different breed to deal with the highs and lows of pro football. I’ve sat in those locker rooms. Myself and former teammates have ran on those practise fields, and played in front of those crowds.  Sure, the […]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders were back on the practice field Tuesday at Mosaic Stadium to begin their on-field preparations for Sunday’s home opener against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Before the team took the field however, Head Coach Corey Mace adjusted his practice plan from a full practice to a walk-thru. Coach Mace told us on the 5th Quarter […]

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