CFL Update

OK, so I'm a couple of weeks behind with this, but here goes. The CFL is entering Week 3, so here's our Sac update on the first couple of weeks.

Week 1 was a snoozer for both known Hornets in the CFL. On 27 Jun, Charles Roberts contributed points in a 23-16 Winnipeg Bluebombers loss to Toronto. He scored a touchdown while gaining 76 yards on 13 carries. Chuck also chipped in 19 yards on 4 catches and misfired on a pass. An interesting side note is that the Argos picked up NFL washout Mike Vanderjagt, who got a single on a missed FG.

A day later, Ricky Ray had a ho-hum day as his Edmonton Eskimos tanked one in Regina 34-13. Ricky was 25-37 for 249 yards with a pick. He also picked up a dozen yards with his legs on 7 carries and fumbled once (it was saved).

Things were MUCH better offensively (at least for Ricky) in Week 2. The Bombers scored more points, but Chuck wasn't much of a factor as he gained an anemic 11 yards on attempts with a TD. Chuch also got 17 yards on 4 catches. Winnipeg lost in Montreal 38-24.

Edmonton hosted Calgary while Ricky went wild. A 27-41-448-3TD effort earned Ricky CFL Offensive Player of the Week honors. Ricky also grabbed 8 yards on 3 rushes.

If you have a Canadian network or even Altitude on your dish, be sure to check out Toronto vs. Edmonton at 7 Cali time tomorrow night and BC vs. Winnepeg at 5 on Friday in Week 3 action. The TOR-EDM game is particularly intriguing if you want to see how far the mighty have fallen in terms of kickers. LOL.

Go Hornets!!!
 
Just a heads up that Charles Roberts got traded to BC from Winnipeg today.As a Lions fan I am very excited to see him in BC.Winnipeg has 3 new starters on its O-line so his numbers are a little down but he is approaching 10,000 yards rushingin the CFL.Hall of Fame numbers.
Ricky Ray is the league MVP at the half way point imo.Guy is so accurate with the football.

Come up to Vancouver and watch Charles play.
