Saskatchewan Roughriders - Preview - CFL Season

on 05/21/2010 05:28 AM

In 2009 season of the CFL, the Saskatchewan Roughriders clinched the West Division. Into the playoffs, they continued their success. In the playoffs, the Roughriders managed to beat Calgary before falling in a heartbreaking loss to Montreal in the Grey Cup Championship game. The Roughriders are hungry this season to show that they have what it takes to bring their team to the top, after a 1 point loss in the Grey Cup championship game.

The Roughriders really made some smart moves in the draft, after having such a solid season. The Roughriders picked a variety of players in order to add depth to a lot of positions and were already a solid team all around.

Linebacker Shomari Williams, CFL betting star, was their number one pick in the draft. The Roughriders had 2 All Star linebackers, last season. With the help of another top level linebacker, this could bring the defense of the Saskatchewan Roughriders to the next level.

In the first round of the draft, the Roughriders were also fortunate to have another pick. CFL betting odds favorite, the Roughriders picked Jordan Sisco, a wide receiver.

For the Roughriders, this was good. They did not have a 1000 yard receiver last year, though they had a few solid receivers. Jordan Sisco may be just what they need in terms of a “go-to” receiver.

In the offseason, the Roughriders did a great job of adding even more depth to a team that was already right at the top of the league. In Saskatchewan, look for big things.
