Sheets And Williams Get POTW Honours


Saskatchewan Roughriders Kory Sheets and Renauld Williams have each been named a CFL Gibson’s Finest Player of the Week. 

Sheets was named Offensive Player of the Week following last Friday’s record setting performance. The second-year Rider had 26 rush attempts and two touchdowns on his way to a career single game high of 178 yards. He also added two receptions for 21 yards. 

His 442 rushing yards is a CFL record after the opening three weeks of any season. 

Williams was named the Defensive Player of the Week after a dominating performance in the Riders victory in Toronto. The 32-year-old middle linebacker seemed to be everywhere as he racked up eight defensive tackles, two quarterback sacks and one pass knockdown.  

This is the second time in his career that he has received weekly defensive honours.        

Sheets and Williams become the second and third Riders to pick up a weekly award after returner Jock Sanders picked up Special Teams honours last week.

Sheets should be a slamdunk for July player of the month.

Notice how no one is talking about his off-season activities now. Just proves again that it doesn't matter what you do off the field if you're winning on it. Disgusting!

Anon 2. Put a name on your thoughts if you're that disgusted with it.
I didn't like it either, but everyone deserves a 2nd chance and he's nothing but a fine ambassador for the Riders while in Regina.

GET OVER IT!

The players of the week are judged for performance on the field. Their performance is what gets judged not their off field activities or mistakes. Just lke you want your boss tonjudge you on your performance not your home life these guys are no different
