There have also been some retirements and guys like Gene Makowski getting older. They also released Korneguay and Mullinder, lost Kitwana Jones - who was a monster for us in the past - to the Als.
That's like saying the Eskimos have pretty much the same roster as last year with a little bit of turnover. Although they actually have a lot more turnover than the Riders, but in a good way, they dumped garbage. Riders lost valuable parts. |
Seriously? Check your Riders roster It is almost entirely the same with relation to all the starters. Sask is missing no more than any "normal" amount of turnover for any team. Players come and go in the CFL. Now if you want to talk about changes the Stamps Oline for the most part is New. The Secondary is completly revampted. Special teams KR new Kicker new. A rookie WR.
All of the TSN panel prior to game 1 said Sask is gooing to win the west and Calgary will finish 3rd. Why did they say that, because of all the changes the Stamps had to make and the very little the Riders had to make.
Riders have Excuses excuses and Makowski is with out a doubt one of the dirtiest players in the CFL and has been for years. And as Korneguay and Mullinder you would hard pressed to find many Melonheads that would have thought they would get cut. Besides thats something the Riders did to themselves.
