The Roughriders visit the B.C. Lions on Friday night at B.C. Place, a stadium where they have had success earlier in the season. This time, however, the CFL's West Division playoff race is hanging in the balance.
"We focus on what we can control, which is our preparation, our practise habits, our weight room habits. We're not concerned necessarily about where we have to play." "We're a really good team, a really tough team at home and we know our crowd energizes us. We've got to be able to find ways to be energized running out on the field in someone else's stadium."
The Eskimos eliminated the Lions from post-season contention last Saturday with a 19-6 win that also saw two key B.C. players suffer season-ending injuries. Starting quarterback Mike Reilly underwent successful surgery this week to repair his fractured left wrist and Lions head coach DeVone Claybrooks confirmed Wednesday that defensive back Aaron Grymes suffered an ACL tear.
Rookie Charbel Dabire will take Johnson's place in Saskatchewan's starting lineup. He has five tackles and one sack in nine games this year.INTO THE STRETCH: After facing B.C., the Roughriders will finish out their regular-season schedule with a home-and-home series against the Eskimos.
