You have to wonder if the Eskimos are really this good as the teams they have played so far are a combined 1-8. I would suspect that they will eventually come back to the pack but there's no doubt they are improved.
That is the key to beating the Esks, you cannot let Ray have all day because he will just find guys sitting in the soft zone or eventually in man to man coverage someone will get open. So far this year, they have really protected him well and the Esks are actually stretching the field. They are improved by I think its clear that the Lions were overrated coming out of preseason and the Riders have really fallen back to earth.
