OVERVIEW

Due to an elementary school track meet, the Riders morning practice was moved to the recently upgraded and serene SMF Field at Gordie Howe Park. Temperatures soared to the mid-twenties before the 8:30am practice was underway, as the hot and muggy morning led to a notable amount of constructive feedback from head coach Corey Chamblin.

 

The pads went on for the afternoon practice and the players responded with energy and intensity through the one hour and forty-five minute session.    

 

PLAY OF THE DAY

The defence stole the show in the morning highlights with a couple interceptions – led by Saskatoon native Keenan MacDougall who stole the ball out of the hands of the intended receiver. Linebacker Kevin Regimbald added another turnover as he stuck with a deflected ball over the middle and was met with an enthusiastic roar from the defence.

 

The offence responded in the afternoon session as second year receiver Ryan Smith jumped for a ball between two defenders to haul in a 30-yard touchdown pass from veteran quarterback Darian Durant.

 

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"It was a good practice, I really thought they picked it up during the end. I just had to get them going. We are getting ready to play a game, and a lot of those guys don't know what game tempo looks like, so we have to raise that level and raise that intensity." Riders head coach Corey Chamblin

TOMORROW

Players and coaches will hit the field for Day 10 of training camp with two walk through sessions. The first walk through will take place at 9:30 am on the grass field adjacent to Griffith’s Stadium. The afternoon practice will run from approximately 3:00-4:55 pm back on the field inside Griffiths.
