Roughriders’ quarterbacks disappoint in 1st preseason game
There were a lot of flags and not a lot of power at Mosaic Stadium on Saturday night.
In a game where Chris Jones hoped to get a good evaluation of the two players vying to back up Darian Durant at quarterback, neither rookie B.J. Coleman or Brett Smith earned the job.
There was little magic on the Roughrider offence, who mustered just one touchdown in a 28-16 loss.
“They played a poor football game,” Chris Jones said simply when asked about their play. “It’s their first time that they’re in this offence and I fully expect for them to come back with their nose to the grindstone and they’ll play better next week.”
