There is indeed football tomorrow as the Roughriders travel to Edmonton to take on the Eskimos 5:00 PM. I believe the game is on TSN so you can tune in that way.
Interesting to see how each of Collaros and Bridge performs for the Roughriders (if both are making the trip).
I do not know what the question marks are for Edmonton this season, but there was a fair bit of turnover on defence so it'll be interesting to see what chemistry forms there.

I'll be watching. It's been a long off season.

I activated my ESPN+ subscription early, after realizing that the 7-day free trial would cover the end of May. I'll be watching too!

Took my satelitte service off vacation mode just in time for the season. Will be on the couch eating supper tonight.

Hmm. I forgot that non-Argo games are kinda boring, and non-Argo pre-season games are... not for me. Nice to get a taste (and test ESPN+), though.

The usual pre-season caveats aside, Mike Reilly and C.J Gable appear to be in mid-season form, but the Roughriders did not bring many of their starters to Edmonton.

The Eskimos won the game 35-12.
The teams combined for 30 penalties.

With all three Rider QBs going less than 50% in their passing, one thing is for sure: none of them are soon going to surpass Brandon Bridge on the depth chart.

I watched long enough to see Duron Carter play hard on *defense* on the *road* in the *pre-season*. That's crazy. He's a lunatic, and I am a fan.

In the video comments following the game, HC Jones had a classic comment on the rookie QBs: "There were flashes of things like I told them [in the locker room] they looked like me out there sometimes, which is not a good thing,”
