Roughriders - there are 5 players on the 6 game (7 total) injury list (figure it out) who should be released immediately (Jake Harty, Nick Marshall stay). Also, Brendan Labatte's time has come and gone and he should be released or traded. Pro football a business.
That's how you beat Mike Reilley, you don't let him have the ball. Hamilton had the ball for 10 minutes longer than the Esks.
Streveler is the next great CFL QB.
