IMO he's also showing that he worked on his route running since our Grey Cup run... he's doing little things to get separation that aren't just about speed that he didn't do in 2019. His usage here was horribad. BomberBall, Geebrr and Tracker 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is now playing in a system that has a QB who can push the ball 10 - 30 yards out with no issues. Whitehead unfortunately was handcuffed while playing with us. Throwing to that guy while he is in stride in open field is deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 I agree about Lucky to a certain extent. He was misused here for the most part. But the things he excels at aren't that hard to shut down. I don't expect him to keep this pace up, but I am rooting that he does! Just not against the Bombers.

Only if you're speed is a threat in multiple ways - like the Milt Stegalls and Kamar Jordens of the world If your threat as a speedster is mostly running fly routes or long posts, the D just has to drop a guy back, read the play and take the correct angle.

Even then it still is. It's why speed is the most sought after commodity in football. Also to say that's all lucky is is beyond silly. He's a top notch return man with tremendous yac capabilities. 2 hours ago, Bigblue204 said: It really isn't. Yeah it really is.

Tracker Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Andrew Lauderdale makes first career start at LT for Riders, draws in for Brett Boyko Photo courtesy: Saskatchewan Roughriders The Saskatchewan Roughriders will start Andrew Lauderdale at left tackle against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Week 2. Saskatoon native Brett Boyko started on Cody Fajardo’s blindside in the Riders Week 1 win against the B.C. Lions. However, according to the league’s injury report, an illness put Boyko on the disabled list. (From a quick look at Lauderdale's shorts, I would say he is feeling very tentative.) rebusrankin, Bigblue204, Mark F and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why the great rec stay great when their speed starts to slow down. And players who can't run good routes or have questionable hands but loads of speed don't last.

The story line of the season for the Riders is the mono outbreak on the OLine. They have 2 or 3 guys down with it already and could potentially have more diagnosed in the coming days. With people taking time off it might be hard for them to field an oline. I heard they only had 6 at practice this week becayse of mono/injuries. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
