Parity and Montreal blows up real good?
The post Labour Day triple-header was an exhausting and interesting marathon of Canadian football that pointed out how sometimes luck has everything to do with a team’s success.
The loss of Travis Lulay for the season with an ACL injury now puts pressure on Jon Jennings to perform as quarterback. The pressure is more so since his return from his own shoulder injury. Additionally, Jennings has been prone to throwing interceptions and not being on the same page as his receivers.
Sometimes quarterbacks tend to think too much. Jennings came in on the second play of the game and seemed able to make his reads and move the club in the way he did prior to his injury. However the situation showed the importance of having two quarterbacks who are capable of playing the game and doing more than handling the short yardage team.
The Riders had Kevin Glenn go down with a hand injury following through with a pass in the Labour Day rematch with Winnipeg and Brandon Bridge came in and showed while he could run for a touchdown and has a good zip on the ball, the jury is still out on whether he could lead the team if required to.
