The sweetest wine is that which comes from Blue Bomber fan tears
Who would have seen the Saskatchewan Roughriders actually get to a 7-2 record at the start of the season?
Rider Head Coach Cory Chamblin didn’t, and after the classic struggle on Sunday between the Bombers and the Riders, resulting in a Rider 35-30 score, the Riders now stand at the brink of making a major push in the west or folding and allowing the clown cars with Friendly Manitoba and whatever they are calling BC these days to play catch up.
The addition of Weston Dressler was not anything that made itself obvious on the scoreboard. To expect Dressler to come in with three days practice and absorb the whole offense and fix everything wrong with the Riders was asking a bit much.
But it is the idea of Dressler which I enjoyed seeing in action on Sunday and will look forward for the next couple of weeks because other teams will be forced to account for him. But they will not account for his hard work so when he breaks through, and let’s say that’s in a week or two, his presence on the field will force other teams to chance how they defend our receivers.
