I've never been sold on Jarious Jackson as a quarterback and last night's big Roughrider win only added to my inability to believe he's as good a QB as the Lions would like to have every-one else believe. Take nothing away from an outstanding Rider pass-rush which executed blitz after blitz after blitz to perfection, knocking action Jackson onto his behind time and time again. Credit Richie Hall and coach Austin for recognizing the inexperience of Jackson and game-planning to blitz the hell of the B.C. quarterback, forcing him into making poor decisions with the football. It's a major step off a lucky bounce for an organization which has fallen victim to far too many bad breaks before. I believe this win will pull the green and white out of the normality of mediocrity and into the upper echelon of the CFL. But keep in mind, that war which was won last night, was not the true battle this Rider team will face when the Dave Dickenson-led Leos try to defend their championship in November.
Suffocating Rider "D" Exposes Jackson

Riders--B.C.
I truly believe that the way the Riders played last night, that they can beat the Lions even with Dickenson playing.
He, according to my way of thinking, is much the same as that "SO CALLED CALGARY QUARTERBACK".
In other words, get in his FACE EARLY, & OFTEN, & HE GETS RATTLED ALSO.
What a difference a "REAL COACH" makes, eh !!!!
Kent has this team believing in themselves.
