REGINA — Quarterback Shea Patterson is confident that he’s up to the challenge of making his first CFL start Thursday when the Saskatchewan Roughriders host the Toronto Argonauts.
Patterson was thrust into the spotlight on June 23 when Trevor Harris sustained a knee injury late in the first half of the Riders' 36-20 victory the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
“My confidence level is high," he said."I’ve put in the work. I'm ready to go. I know our team. Our team's ready to go. The Argos are working on a short week short week after losing 30-20 to the Montreal Alouettes on Friday. They’ll be additionally challenged by facing an unfamiliar quarterback.“The guy is an athlete. He can extend plays with his legs, he's not just a pocket guy," Dinwiddie said."We’ve got to keep him in the pocket, make him make some throws.
“I think a lot of people would just say, ‘Oh, well, you know, that’s easy.’ Right? It's not," Mace said."You don't know what to expect, which, from our side, is a plus. You look at the tape that he had, maybe pre-season or back in his playing in other leagues or in college but as he explained, he's completely changed from that.The Riders will also be without receiver Shawn Bane Jr. who will miss the game due to personal reasons.
In 18 games over two seasons with the Cardinals, Johnson had 36 receptions for 360 yards and one touchdown.
