The season is starting to wind down and the Riders need a win or else they'll be on the road for the playoffs.  Rob and Murray talk about whether it's possible to revamp the offensive line at this point, how much the team has cooled off since the start of the season, how hot Winnipeg is and when does Cody Fajardo need to step up his game. 

Other CFL teams have been improving, but it seems like the Riders are stuck. This week Rob is joined by CJME's The Green Zone host Jamie Nye.  They discuss the Riders' two recent losses at the hands of the Stampeders, why the team needs a new game plan for its offence, Cody Fajardo's lack of confidence and how much mindshare the team has in the community these days.

Rob and Murray discuss the news that veteran receiver Duke Williams has signed with the Roughriders, which will hopefully help the team's vertical passing game.

Rob and Murray dig into the 23-8 loss the Riders suffered against the Bombers during the Labour Day Classic. They discuss Fajardo being off his game, Winnipeg's excellent defence, problems with the Riders' offence and holding CFL games during a fourth wave of COVID-19.

This year's Labour Day Classic looks to be a hotly anticipated matchup between two talented CFL teams. Rob and Murray discuss the upcoming game, their favourite Labour Day Classics of yore, Fajardo vs. Collaros and the vaccine pass announcement.

The Riders are dominating, but the discourse is being overshadowed by the great vaccine debate. With five CFL teams now saying they will require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test, the Riders and Elks are the outliers. Rob and Murray discuss the team's hot streak, as well as the mounting pressure the club is facing regarding vaccine passes.

Murray and Rob analyze the Roughriders' hot start after the 30-8 victory over the visiting Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The Riders are now off to a 2-0 start despite a lack of deep bombs from franchise quarterback Cody Fajardo. Is the offence still scary after an injury to Shaq Evans?
