This game showed me why I'm glad Buck Pierce is the hell & gone as OC. Stev's best game of his pro career. He showed he can play qb. Changed up his fundamentals this off season. He showed that if you give him the entire playbook & not just make him a one dimensional raging ground warrior or gimmicky qb he can make the throws. For that we can thank LaPo & his protege Buck Pierce. Lapo had at least a bit of imagination with Streveler in 2018 & 19. He actually used him the best at the time considering back then his limitations as an actual qb plus his inability to read a CFL defense. Pierce OTOH was just sadistic expecting him to go out there & take the punishment that he did.
I'm excited for Jarious Jackson as his position coach.
The parabolic mic picked up Streveler giving Betts **** in the fourth quarter. That's okay, Betts isn't even a Top 5 DE in this league. All he can do is rush the passer & we pretty much shut him down last night. He makes way too much money for what he gives the Lions.
A week ago, the Rider media & fans were bragging on social media that the Riders had the best qb room in the CFL. Think again, Priders.
They don't seemed to have made any major changes.
Wheatfall looking good. I remember something I heard last season when Wheatfall was struggling. Something about Buck's offense being very difficult for rookie receivers to learn. He looks confident & relaxed this year.
