I bet that bum Kyle Walters doesn't even scout the illustrious Japan X-League for NFL burnouts. Another win for Jones, playing that 4D chess.

Can't see why they haven't brought in Chulada….He IS awesome and Jones uses him as a bench mark for players he brings in...He does however have an oxygen tank in his ball bag....nothing to be concerned about though

1. Japan has pro football ?

2. I thought Bridge was holding down the fort until Zach was better

The Riders needed a Gardner for their pre-practice players' house.

Useful Tip: Oxygen is one of the best ways to sober up and avoid a lot of the hangover, but it disables your sense of smell for awhile.

Just make sure Carter doesn't mix his Oxygen with his burnables.

I thought the same thing about japan. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-League

Holy crap its been going since 1971? how has no one come from it before?

max 4 imports, 2 on the field at a time. 

To be fair this isnt crazier then when ottawa brought in kerry joseph who was like 30 years old, out of football for a few years and had been a saftey in the nfl not playing QB since college. 

 

kinda makes me wanna see a one game exhibition each year with a cfl team and an xleague team haha

He's gonna need to sign at least 2 or 3 more to get through the next few weeks with his O/L.

Concession stand offerings would be interesting.

So, this Johnson guy was a back up QB in college...to a current Rider DB.   Are they going to switch positions?

Well, according to a post at Riderfans Johnson was practicing at corner today. Guess that's what happens when you don't have any back up DBs.

Cant the Rider scouts find a real CB? What kind of scouts they have?

When they play the Hurricanes, it must be a real dogfight...

Sponsored, no doubt, by Mitsubishi.

truly think Jones is an idiot..they are as thin as you can be at DB..already have a receiver playing there..and now sign a qb to try at cornerback and cut only true db they had on the PR...like Wtf?!?

Guy just tries to "appear" he is smarter than everyone and is some kind of talent guru...but really for a lack of a better word is a putz

Not to mention no olineman other than some regina jr players on PR and the worst oline in the league by far..soon as season really kicks in and some injuries occur..look out. It will become Montreal West..

Japanese football league actually looks pretty exciting based on that video.

They could probably edit pinochle game videos to make them look exciting.

Johnson also played cornerback Thursday - and he had an interception return for a TD in one drill.

Gardner is expected to dress for Saturday’s game, so he's on a crash course to learn the offence.

"If he was to go in the game, I told him he needs to know about five plays," Roughriders head coach-GM Chris Jones said. "We've got to be able to run the football some with him and he’s got to know five passing plays in order to get us through the game if he's playing this early."

Defensive tackle Eddie Steele has lined up at guard all week and he's expected to play both ways against the Als.

"You've got to do what you've got to do for the team," Steele said. "It's not unfamiliar territory; I started a couple of games (on the Edmonton Eskimos' O-line) back in 2015."

The Roughriders appear set to use newly signed Mic'hael Brooks in their rotation at defensive tackle alongside Zack Evans and Makana Henry. Steele could get some time there while also backing up on the O-line.

"I don't (have a preference)," Steele said. "It's football and I like playing football. O-line is slowly growing on me, but I'm still wearing the green shirt (of a defensive player) in practice."
