QUARTERBACK WATCH

Monday’s practice provided a look at the Riders’ possible quarterback rotation for Friday’s pre-season game against the visiting Calgary Stampeders.

Zach Collaros was first up and worked primarily with the starters. He looked sharp in the few times that he threw the ball downfield, despite the strong winds.

Collaros was followed by Brandon Bridge, who also seemed to handle the windy conditions. David Watford was third, followed by B.J. Daniels.

Based on Monday’s rotation, it appears that Collaros will start against Calgary with Bridge to follow. Watford and Daniels are both competing to be the third quarterback on the active roster.

Watford and Daniels both have strong arms and have improved as training camp has progressed. It’s likely their performances on Friday will determine who makes the active roster.

GAME-DAY PREPS

The Riders have switched from training-camp to game-day mode with Friday’s contest looming.

With that in mind, Monday was designated as Day 1, Tuesday will be Day 2 and Wednesday is Day 3. Thursday will be a regular walk-through, but in Regina as the Riders will have broken camp in Saskatoon.

MURRAY’S MONSTER

Orlandus Harris got off to a fast start at training camp, with two interceptions and a knockdown over the first four days.

After a bit of a lull, Harris was back in the forefront Monday after making a great break on a sideline pass from Watford. Harris wasn’t able to complete the interception, but the speed with which he closed was impressive.

Harris later made another quick break to knock down another pass.

Those defensive plays were the reason why Harris is Murray’s Monster.
