Saskatchewan Roughriders continue to search for answers following a fourth straight loss
The search for answers continues for the Saskatchewan Roughriders after a fourth straight loss to the B.C. Lions on Sunday.
The team has little time to right a fast sinking ship before the start of the playoffs. But, even with four straight losses hanging over the team's head, head coach Ken Miller maintains the confidence is still there.
“I would say that if there's negativism, it's outside the locker room, not inside the locker room,” said Miller. “I think the team is really cohesive and they feel like they can get the job done, and will get the job done.”
Quarterback Darian Durant says whether you want to believe the player's or not, their confidence hasn't wavered much.
“You know, we just hit a little slide and that happens,” said Durant. “We play for each other. Everyone in that locker room has each others back and that's the way it's always been and will continue to be that way.”
Running back Wes Cates says everyone still believes they're still one of the top team's in the league.
“We have a lot of confidence in each other,” said Cates. “We still feel like we're on of the top teams in the league. Our record shows we are. We feel we have just as good a chance as anybody in the Grey Cup. If we get things rolling the way we know we can, we're going to be tough to beat in the playoffs.”
The Riders will try and turn things around this Saturday in the teams finale against the Edmonton Eskimos.
