Hmmm, I wonder how bad it is and wether or not he recoveres in time for the LDC.

Part of me hopes he doesn't so we have a better chance of oulling out a win...

[Dr. Blue]

Does it prevent him from handing off???

 

Maybe then the Riders will just go to a direct snap every play...

[Brandon]

It wasn't like he's beating a tonne of teams with his arm lately

[GCn20]

Not scared of Durant. He has been crap this year. The Riders offence is the running game. Whether it's Durant or Sunseri it really doesn't matter. With either QB the big challenge will be stopping their run game.

Messam is hurt too, Bombers showed they could stop Ford, Not sure about Allen, but... If the bombers could stop Ford and Messam is still hurt, I'm not really sure what the riders could do against us next week-end.  They have no passing game what so ever.. Not really too scared of the riders at all, with our without Durant.

Where did you hear he was hurt? He wasn't on the 1 game IR for Sunday's game.

What did Durant do last time we played the riders that makes anyone worried about facing him? He was terrible. Bombers offense scored more points for the Riders than their own offense did. 

[Noeller]

Should be far more concerned about Sunseri than Durant, who is easily the most over rated QB of the last decade...

[rebusrankin]

Sunseri scares me because I recall the Rocky Butler Debacle.

[Noeller]

Sunseri is a **** of a lot better than Rocky Butler...Christ...

[Bomber_fanaddict]

I am far more worried about the D and Run game.  If Chick and Ford were hurt id feel more comfortable.  Hopefully Marcel and Etch study the last Rider game and see the glaring problems!  Better play calling and stopping the run. 

[17to85]

The Riders are as much of a running team as there has been in the CFL in years. If they can't run I don't expect that they'll do a hell of a lot on offense. Now that being said they're pretty good at getting a running game going so it's easier said than done stopping it, but that's really all I'd worry about facing them.

Madani (on Calgary radio) was saying they aren't super worried about it, it had some swelling and it sounds like bruising.  They'll know more after xrays.

[Blueandgold]

Sunseri seems to be the type of QB who cruses our hopes and dreams on Labor Day.

My garden gnome thinks Picard and Labatte are still injured from the last time we faced them.  He's short but very reliable.

Messam has a shoulder injury. 

 

Notes - The game was delayed for several minutes after Saskatchewan's Scott McHenry was injured while tackling Stefan Logan on a punt return. A Roughriders spokesman said McHenry was taken to hospital for precautionary reasons after he went to the dressing room holding the back of his neck. … McCallum's second field goal of the game, a 16-yarder in the second quarter, moved him into second place all-time in the CFL in field goals made, surpassing former Calgary Stampeder and Lion Mark McLoughlin. McCallum now has 675 career field goals. … B.C. cornerback Dante Marsh returned to the lineup after missing the previous game in Toronto with a sore hamstring. … With Brown back in the lineup, offensive lineman Andre Ramsey was held out. Saskatchewan running back Jerome Messam, a former Lion, was sat out with a shoulder injury. … Rolly Fox, the father of late Canadian Marathon of Hope runner Terry Fox, received a loud ovation as he completed the opening coin toss. … Lions defensive lineman Jabar Westerman, who has run afoul of management in recent weeks due to an assault charge that is pending, was a late scratch. He was replaced by fellow Canadian Steven Doege

I'll take any advantage we can get but maybe the Riders are prepping their excuses well in advance?

[SPuDS]

Westerman got an assault charge? Bar fight as per usual football player? Wonder if hes on the outs in BC (well out of thw team, maybe into the oen lol) and if walters would be interested if his charges drop..

[SPuDS]

Oh and mchenry has a fractured 6th vertbrae.. Sucks.. Another pretty big injury..

[Fraser]

Any update on Durant? Riders should be practicing today.

[Jpan85]

Not practicing today will try practicing tomorrow.

[kelownabomberfan]

with the curse of Labour Day, the Riders could start Russ Michna at QB and still win.

[mfranc]

Not practicing today will try practicing tomorrow.

He was at practice and took a few snaps.  Durant is tough as nails and I'm pretty sure he'll be starting in the LDC.

Doesn't take much to turn around and hand the ball off anyway. 

 

and speaking of that... what's the runningback situation over there for the upcoming game?  Who's in and who's out?

I don't know. Sunseri was almost better than Durant last game. I obviously want Durant to be OK, but we do have a pretty good backup, so the damage wouldn't be too high.
