REGINA - Rob Bagg has been with the Roughriders long enough to know that football is always a hot topic in Regina. Saskatchewan is coming off a 48-15 blowout loss to the Toronto Argonauts last week. As a result, countless hours of radio talk-show banter and roundtable discussions were devoted to the surprising rout as the highly scrutinized Roughriders fell to 1-1. "Any time you lose youre going to be frustrated or disappointed, all of those natural feelings," Bagg said. "But it is a six-month season and just like every play, you have to reload and move on to the next one. "Were playing B.C. this week and theres nothing we can do about what happened in Toronto." Saskatchewan made some significant moves in preparation for Saturdays home game against the winless B.C. Lions (0-2). Catch the game live on TSN as the back end of a doubleheader starting at 10pm et/7pm pt. Less than 48 hours after the loss to the Argos, the Riders dealt veteran halfback Dwight Anderson to Toronto. On Wednesday, the Riders signed former 1,000-yard rusher Jerome Messam. The 29-year-old Messam, who was cut by the Montreal Alouettes last month, is expected to dress for Saturdays game. The transactions have created a buzz in what has been anything but a calm week for the defending Grey Cup champions. "We knew after Week 1 that we were in for a test (in Toronto)," said Riders defensive end John Chick. "They had a rough week the week before and we knew they were going to come back corrected. They were better prepared in all areas than what we were. "Its nothing about the sky falling here or anything like that. Its about making corrections. We expect perfection and we expect to be a championship team. A performance like last week makes us realize that we have some work to do." Second-year Riders defensive back Macho Harris will take Andersons starting spot in the secondary, while Messam should get his feet wet on special teams versus the Lions. Meanwhile, running back Hugh Charles will get the starting assignment over Anthony Allen, who has started the previous two weeks. Allen leads the CFL in rushing with 224 yards but has fumbled in each of the first two games this season. Tristan Black has been pushing starter Sam Hurl at the weakside linebacker position this week at practice and should see more playing time versus the Lions. Slotback Chris Getzlaf wont play Saturday because of a nagging quadriceps injury and fullback Neal Hughes wont dress because of a foot injury. Riders head coach Corey Chamblin is optimistic his team has moved on from the lopsided loss and is taking in stride the bevy of roster changes ahead of the B.C. game. He likes what he has seen at practice this week. "I was pleased with their energy and I was pleased with their execution," Chamblin said. "Theyre bouncing back, theyre not looking back and theyre moving forward. Guys are starting to become leaders, new guys are starting to become more vocal and theyre starting to open up and trust one another. "Before long, well have the makings of a good team." The Riders expect a hungry Lions team that has dropped its first two games of the season, most recently a 24-9 defeat to the Montreal Alouettes. Quarterback Kevin Glenn, who is filling in for Travis Lulay, has thrown six interceptions in those two losses and running back Andrew Harris has just 63 rushing yards over that span. Both the Lions and Riders will be looking to bounce back from poor performances in Week 2. "Its never as bad as you think it was and its never as good as you think it was," Bagg said. "Most of what happened (in Toronto) didnt have anything to do with the plays. It was more to do with poor execution … and we just need to work better individually and that will take care of itself as a whole."

There have been several Ottawa fans wondering if Richardson - currently the head coach of the clubs AHL affiliate in Binghamton - would be able to help the Senators with their defensive issues as an assistant coach down the road. But speaking to him on TSN 1200 Tuesday, it sounds like the 44-year-old is waiting for the right opportunity to become a head coach in the NHL. Richardson had spent three years as an assistant in Ottawa, but in the spring of 2012 he had a conversation with general manager Bryan Murray about his coaching future. So when the Binghamton job opened up after Kurt Kleinendorst stepped aside, he knew that was the career path he wanted to pursue. "It was great getting the experience those first few years kind of being the part-time guy, the upstairs guy and the practice guy with the Senators. But when I had that chance to become a head coach I told Bryan, Thats what I want to be. I want to be a head coach. Its not that I think Im better than anyone else or better than an assistant coachs job, I just feel more comfortable in that role and I like it," Richardson said on Tuesday. Richardson says he currrently has no aspirations to leave his post in Binghamton, where he has guided the club to a first-place position in the AHLs East Division.dddddddddddd "Im really happy to be here. And I take a lot of pride trying to help these young players in the organization. So my answer is that Im happy to be here and Im signed for another year," added Richardson. Of course, things could change if an NHL head coaching job opened up in the summer. A couple of teams - like Buffalo and Florida - are currently working with interim head coaches and have made no guarantees about who will be behind their bench next season. Add in the usual number of post-season coaching changes and there could be several opportunities for Richardson to consider in the summer. But he was quick to point out the Binghamton job offers him the unique luxury of being close to his daughter who is wrapping up her sophomore year at university down the road in Ithica, New York. "It really works well for my family with our daughter Morgan an hour away at Cornell and we get to see her a lot. Its very unusual to be able to do that in the geography of the hockey world. We are fortunate to have that so right now, my answer is that Im going to stay in the AHL." ' ' '
