Overview
For the Eskimo coaching staff and management, Friday's game offers one final chance to evaluate the talent before having to make tough decisions for Saturday's final roster cut down. For most Eskimo fans it will be their first chance to see the many new faces in action. Last Saturday, the 'Riders edged the Esks 14 - 8 at Taylor Field in a game that showcased lots of Green and Gold hopefuls. On offence, Grey Cup MVP QB Ricky Ray is expected to play for at least the first half. Running back Troy Davis and veteran WR Ed Hervey will see the field for the first time in '06. Patrick Kabongo, who spent the off-season under the watchful eye of O-line coach Bill Macdermott, has all the tools to be a mainstay on the Esks O-line for years to come.
