The Saskatchewan Rough Riders were looking for a bounce-back effort in Vancouver on Saturday, and they got that, and then some, with a 33-27 win over the Lions. The Riders frustrated B.C. quarterback Nathan Rourke to the point where he only completed 66% of his pass attempts.
Riders second-year defensive back DaMarcus Fields was our guest on the fifth quarter post-game show, and he explained to Luc Mullender what's been going right for him this season.
"I'm just trying to put in work every day. I love football. I'm just happy to get the opportunity to play for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. I love this team. I love the coaching staff. I love the players. I just try to do what I can do best for the team."
Luc then asked, "What's the hardest type of wide receiver to guard in this league in your mind?"
DaMarcus replied, "McInnis."
Luc followed up, "Yeah? What makes him so hard to guard?"
Demarcus explained, "He's so big, so it's hard to get around him because he's got the catch radius of KD. He's a physical guy too. He doesn't mind getting hit, right? So yeah, man. McInnis, last year he really got me. Last year. So I always know McInnis and I always like the matchup with McInnis."
