Riderville – September 11
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are nothing but front-runners. When you look at their schedule and who've they've beaten, when they come across a team that is determined, the Bombers will fold.
On the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Swaggerville folded like a cheap suit.
Once again for an away game, I watched it with some Rider players who did not make the trip out to Winnipeg, learning how the Riders put a 45-23 smackdown of the Bombers in the Banjo Bowl and a season sweep of the series.
On defense, the Riders put seven players on the line of scrimmage, leaving them the option of whether to blitz or to go back into coverage. Buck Pearce was confused by this, probably more so after the hit he took from safety Craig Butler, and bit into the trap the Riders defense laid out for him.
