With the Grey Cup in on home turf this year, the Saskatchewan Roughriders would very much like to headline rather than just host. So it isnt surprising they tapped the piggy bank to land some marquee players that might help make that happen. The CFLs all-time leader in receiving yards, Geroy Simon, and last years most-outstanding Canadian at the Grey Cup, Ricky Foley, head the list. At 37, Simon seriously increases the average age of Reginas receiving corps, but general manager Brendan Taman says hes worth the price it took to get him in a trade with B.C. "We feel hes got some game left for sure," Taman said Tuesday in a CFL pre-season conference call. Sophomore head coach Corey Chamblin hopes the pair of experienced pros can keep the Roughriders on a more even keel than last season. "The biggest thing you hope those guys bring is their veteran presence," Chamblin said. "Making sure we dont get too high with the highs and too low with the lows. I think we did that last year." After finishing a mediocre 8-10 last year, the Riders were bounced out of the West semifinal 36-30 by the Calgary Stampeders after losing the lead late in the fourth quarter. Defensive tackle Keith Shologan is looking forward to teaming up with Foley for 2013. "He goes and thats what we need," said Shologan, himself the top Canadian in the Roughriders 2010 Grey Cup loss to the Montreal Alouettes. "Guys that dont take plays off and guys that are going to go and make some disruption out there and I think hes that guy. . . Im kind of excited about it." The Roughriders signed Foley away from Toronto as a free agent. "To have a winning team you have to have youth and you also have to have that veteran experience and I think thats whats going to make us a complete team this year," said Chamblin. Another key to Saskatchewans success or failure this season will be quarterback Darian Durant, now entering his eighth season with the Roughriders and their starter since 2009. Chamblin says be believes Durant has the makings of a great CFL quarterback and this year is a good time to prove it. "Id like to see him take that next step because I think he has the tools to be a great quarterback and to be remembered in this league. Thats the pressure that I put on him," Chamblin said. "Every time I see him I talk about it because he has the ability to be that Steve McNair type, to take a game over with his legs or also with his arm and thats very unique. I dont think this league has had it for a while." Last season, his passing numbers were among his best so far as he completed 313 of 486 passes for 64.4 per cent, although his yards were only slightly better than a disastrous 2011, when the team finished last in the CFL at 5-13. Adding Simon to Durants pool of receivers should help. Injuries are likely all that stopped Simon from adding a 10th 1,000-yard-plus season to his league-leading record last year. The Roughriders, meanwhile, have already sold more than 28,000 season tickets and theyve sold more than 30,000 for the Grey Cup.
