There were few stand outs in the riders rather lackluster preseason opener. However, the penny polished by former Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach Danny Barret, Drew Willy was 1 of them. Danny Barrett coached Drew Willy at the Univesity of Buffalo before the young pivot had a cup of coffee with the Bills. Then made his long journey from getting the apple and a road map from the Bills to coming to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Drew Willy was 1 of 2 players Barrett recomended to former teams of his that played in Wednesday's game, the other played for BC. Drew Willy showed Barrett and Austin like pose in engineering slow methodical drives and engineered the riders only touch down, but he also showed flashed of Darian Durant and Tracy Ham like pose under pressure in engineering his great scrambles, when they were necessary.
Sadly starting QB Darian Durant was the worst of the 4 pivots. Engineering 0 1st downs and few completions in his time on the field.- Jade Duckett
Drew Willy should b the #2, but JT O'Sullivan may have the inside track due to the fact that he actually played against his new head coach, Levi Brown appears 2 have played himself out of a job though!
