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.
ReplyDeleteNotice 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!
ReplyDeleteNotice how there always someone that has to live in the past. Disgusting!
ReplyDeleteAnon 2. Put a name on your thoughts if you're that disgusted with it.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
