Have you ever watched a duck on the surface of a lack or river, seeming to just float there while underneath the surface the duck is busy churning its legs? Day One of Rider Camp was just like that, with what the fans seeing on the surface not quite telling the whole story underneath.

Chalk one or four up for Brendan Taman.

After I reported that Ismael Bamba and perhaps Sam Hurl were returning to their respective Canadian university teams, Taman announced all four of the Rider picks in the 2012 draft were signed on Thursday morning.

Day 1 of Rider Mini Camp

Submitted on April 26, 2012 - 9:48am

The wait is finally over as the Saskatchewan Roughriders took to the field Wednesday for an April mini-camp.

It was a cool 10 degrees, but 48 players took to the field under Rider Head Coach Cory Chamblin with only Kolten Solomon, receiver, and Johan Asiata, offensive lineman, being the only no-shows.

The majority of attention was focused on the five Rider quarterbacks, with Darian Durant being the undisputed number one. Fans were interested in seeing how the other quarterbacks looked and if they had the potential right stuff to step in if needed.

Roughrider hopefuls hit the field

After what has been described as the longest off-season in Rider history by some fans, the fun starts for real today in Regina.

It’s Day 1 of the Rider Mini-camp, with today’s session held at Mosaic Stadium and Thursday's at the fieldhouse in Moose Jaw.

The Riders have continued to shake up their roster, confounding the many armchair general managers across Rider Nation by first releasing OL Clint Oldenburg, QB Matt Johnson, LB Alvin Bowen, DB Jamaal Fudge, DB Justin Wilson and DL Dario Romero.

Roughriders after an off season of change

Submitted on April 18, 2012 - 4:30pm

One of the most active off-seasons for the Saskatchewan Roughriders takes another step towards reality with a mini-camp scheduled for Regina at the end of April.

What the Riders 2012 edition will look like is extremely hazy though, especially with Odell Willlis being in legal limbo following an arrest for a driving under the influence in Georgia. Willis was the centrepice of the trade the Riders made with Winnipeg in exchange for two draft picks earlier this year.

Riderville Report - November 7

Submitted on November 7, 2011 - 2:46pm

The conclusion of the Riders season Friday night was probably the perfect metaphor for the 2011 season. Make a bad decision and blow the game.

However the ending was not without its silver lining. The loss ensures we have a number one draft pick, but our consensus pick - OL - Ben Heenan of the University of Saskatchewan, may consider offers down south, he may be that good.

Riderville Report - Trick or Treat Edition

Submitted on November 1, 2011 - 1:37pm

It seems kind of appropriate that on Halloween, Ken Miller makes it official he is stepping down as head coach and vice-president of the Saskatchewan Roughriders after this season.

News of this before the game might well have boosted attendance with many people thinking, if the Riders are going to look like they don't care on the field, why should I?
