Mr Dee Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Sask at Edmonton - Matchup: The Eskimos have dominated this rivalry since 2011 winning 13 of the 20 games and have not lost a season series to the Riders since 2013. Mike Reilly has started the Esks' last 6 games vs the Riders and is 4-2. In his last 9 starts vs SSK he is 7-2. They went to OT twice in 2016, but neither game last year was close., - 3-1 last 4 games: Edmonton has risen to #2 in the West with wins in 3 of their last 4 games. They overcame deficits of 3, 7 & 12 points to rebound with a win. - Trailing after Q1: Edmonton has started slowly all season long and have trailed after the 1st Quarter in each of their last 5 games. They rebounded to win 3 of those 5 - in 1st Quarters their scoring differential is -24 while from the 2nd Quarter on they are +48. - Charleston Hughes: Has a Sack in each of his last 4 games matching 4-game runs in 2017 & 2016. His consecutive games record with at least one is 6 games in a row - from Jun 28/14 to Aug 9/14. He has had at least one Sack in 72 of his 153 career games. - Christion Jones streak: Last week's game broke a remarkable streak of punt return excellence. It was the first one of his 17 career regular season games in which he did not produce at least one return of 13+ yards. His longest last week was just 8 yards. - The Riders have also started slowly so it will be interesting to see who is leading. They are even slower out of the gate at -34 in their 1st Quarters this year (Edmonton is -24), have just 11 First Quarter points but are +17 over the final 45:00 of games. - 3 Riders INT return TDs: The Riders have 3 TDs already with Tobi Antigha the latest in last week's game. The Riders' record for most interception return TDs in a season is 6 in 1976 (B.Manchuk, C.Vann, P.Williams, L.Richardson, K.McEachern & J.Marshall). They have 4 total defensive return TDs in 6 games - that SSK record is 6 in four different seasons. - Mike Reilly 6k/400: Reilly leads the CFL in passing with 2,063 yards on pace for 6,189 - that would rank #3 A/T behind Doug Flutie's 6,619 (1991) and Kent Austin (6,225 in 1992). Last week, he had 415 yards, his 6th career 400+ game and 2nd this year. - 4 Sacks Allowed: Edmonton has allowed only 4 Sacks all season on pace for only 12 in 2018 - the club record for fewest allowed in one season is 25 allowed in 2003, more than double their current pace. - Brandon Bridge: Has yet to throw for more than 165 yards in his 4 starts and has one TD pass in 104 attempts thus far. Last week, Bridge's his longest completion was with the receiver 10 yards downfield. He did not attempt a throw of deeper than 18 yards. - Brett Lauther: Made a career-high 5-of-5 FGs last week and has now made 18 of his last 19 attempts. He is #3 at 90% in 2018. - Naaman Roosevelt: Has a current 41-game game reception streak but has now gone 10 games without reaching 100 yards. - Brandon Bridge: Has yet to throw for more than 165 yards in his 4 starts and has one TD pass in 104 attempts thus far. - Kwaku Boateng: Had 3 QB Sacks last week to jump to #2 in the CFL with 5 in total. He now has 9 Sacks in 22 career games. - J.C. Sherritt: Has 34 defensive tackles and is on pace for his second career 100+ season. He set a then CFL record 130 in 2012. - 1200 Pace: C.J. Gable got back to 1200-yard rushing pace last week with 69 on 15 carries. - Duron Carter: Was targeted on Offence twice last week - he had been a receiving target just twice in the previous 4 games.

Eternal optimist Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Just wanted everyone to know the 'Rider announcers mentioned the reason Elam isn't playing today is due to a clerical error - they didn't list him on the depth chart. I don't care if it's true or false, I just think it's hilarious. Mark F and Tracker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
