The Als are attempting to even their record at 2-2 with their first road win of the year on Saturday night. The Riders have been the best team when it comes to getting to the opposing quarterbacks as they have 15 sacks in three games. We’re trying to make sure with our defensive backs that when we play man, we want to try and get hands on early.” We have to find a way to get to the quarterback during games and we were able to capitalize on that today. Defensive lineman Pete Robertson sacked Harris twice in Week 3, giving him five on the season. Morrow and Frankie Hickson will split the carries on Saturday night. But we would like to run the ball. If Harris can take care of the ball yet again, it will go a long way in deciding the outcome. The Riders pivot went 17-28 for 191 yards and threw two interceptions. Luckily for the Riders, they don’t lack options at wideout. Giving his offence strong field position to start drives will help ease the load on Harris. We have to build on that in the coming weeks.”
