GUELPH, Ont. Jaleel Johnson Jersey . -- Corey Chamblin heads into the bye week with peace of mind concerning his backup quarterback. With starter Darian Durant ailing, backup Drew Willy threw three first-half touchdown passes as the Saskatchewan Roughriders beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 32-20 on Saturday night to remain the CFLs only unbeaten team. Willy made just his second career CFL start and first this season with Durant (foot) unable to play. But the sophomore quarterback was 14-of-25 passing for 269 yards before an Alumni Stadium gathering of 13,002 that endured intermittent rain throughout the contest. But it was nowhere near the deluge that fell during Edmontons 30-20 win in Hamiltons home debut here July 7. "Darian felt like he could go and possibly do some things but not all the things," Chamblin said. "I said, If you dont think youre 100 per cent then you wont play 100 per cent. "But it was one of those things where I was excited to see what Drew Willy had and we found out we do have a good backup quarterback. The big thing was he managed the game. There were some mistakes there but he made less mistakes this year than he did last year and I see the growth process." Saskatchewan (5-0) is off until Aug. 9 when it visits Calgary. Willy, 26, said he didnt know he was starting until just prior to the opening kickoff and admitted to having butterflies in his stomach early on. "I guess youre going to get them but once you get the first throw or that first hit you get through that and just keep playing and go out there and try to be successful," he said. "You prepare all week for it but once youre told a switch goes off and you know youre going to be the guy. "I knew once I got the nod I had to be ready to go out there and perform at a high level. The guys around me did a great job, the defence did a great job. It was definitely an enjoyable experience." Willy had plenty of support. Running back Kory Sheets ran for 140 yards, his CFL-record fifth straight 100-yard game to start the season. Slotback Geroy Simon had five catches for 125 yards and a TD -- his first with Saskatchewan -- and the Riders defence registered seven sacks and five turnovers. Their most timely stop came early in the fourth when Hamilton quarterback Henry Burris was denied on third-and-goal from the Saskatchewan one-yard line to protect a 32-20 advantage. Then Willy marched Saskatchewan 62 yards on 11 plays, taking 6:01 off the clock before the Ticats regained possession at their 15-yard line with 3:39 remaining. "I thought on the initial surge I stuck the ball into the end zone," Burris said. "I guess the way things are set up they (officials) didnt have a clean view of it but I thought I stuck the ball out (to break the plane of the goal-line) and they started pushing me back . . . but it shouldnt even have come to that. "For us to get off to such a good start (10-0 first-quarter lead) and then go into a lull for the next three quarters, theres no excuse for it. Were an offence that has more potential than that. Until we go out there and start executing the offence consistently, were going to have those type of lulls." Burris finished 26-of-41 passing for 395 yards and two touchdowns. Saskatchewan swept the home-and-home series with Hamilton (1-4) following Sundays 37-0 victory at Mosaic Stadium. The Riders improved to 8-2 in their last 10 road games versus the Ticats. The loss of Durant could have been huge for Saskatchewan. With him, the Riders led the league in scoring (37.8 points per game), total offensive yards (423) and rushing yards (168) and were third in passing (267). Durant also had a league-best 12 TD passes without an interception as Saskatchewan won its opening four games by an average of 21 points. He threw for 347 yards and four TDs on Sunday and was named the leagues offensive player of the week. But his injured right foot began to swell afterwards, prompting Durant to revert back to a walking boot. Durant originally hurt the foot in a July 11 road win over Toronto. He shed the boot and practised on a limited basis later in the week but was deemed a game-time decision. With Durant sidelined, Sheets stepped up. The CFLs rushing leader boosted his season total to 712 yards, breaking the league mark for most yards through five games to start a season of 646 yards set in 1975 by Calgarys Willie Burden. Sheets ran for 130 yards against Hamilton last week. "Whew, thats really good," Sheets said. "Getting the win is more important than getting 100 yards but running for more than 100 yards every game feels good because the offensive line loves doing it and I love doing it with them. "But excuse my words, Drew showed balls. He stayed in that pocked and threw the ball no matter who was coming. Were just as confident with Drew as we are with Darian." Weston Dressler and Chris Getzlaf scored Saskatchewans other touchdowns. Chris Milo kicked the converts and three field goals with the other points coming on a safety. Greg Ellingson and Lindsey Lamar had Hamiltons touchdowns. Luca Congi booted the converts and two field goals. NOTES -- Linebacker Brandon Isaac, making his Hamilton debut, had an early sack but left later in the first half with a groin injury . . . Simon extended his consecutive games with a catch streak to 175 with his first-half TD grab . . . Riders offensive co-ordinator George Cortez was Hamiltons head coach last season . . . A historic night for Burris. His 51-yard completion to Bakari Grant in the first moved him past former Ticats coach Ron Lancaster (3,384) into fifth in all-time regular-season completions. Burriss touchdown toss to Lamar was the 307th of his career, moving him past Matt Dunigan into fourth all-time. Burris is also on pace to surpass the 50,000-yard plateau this season and become only the fifth player to do so. Dalvin Cook Youth Jersey . Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Jaleel Johnson Youth Jersey . Colin Wilson had two goals and an assist, and Mike Fisher scored a goal and helped set up two others in the Predators 6-4 victory over the Red Wings on Monday night. http:///...deon-Vikings-Jersey/ . A lawyer for MLB, Matthew Menchel, confirmed Wednesday the league dropped its case against Biogenesis of America, its owner Anthony Bosch and several other individuals. The lawsuit had accused Biogenesis and Bosch of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned performance-enhancing substances. It was 7 a.m. on Nov. 20, 2015, when the RFU press release dropped confirming the appointment of Eddie Jones as Englands new head coach on a four-year deal.England were still licking their wounds after a dismal World Cup which saw Stuart Lancaster depart. England rugby was at its nadir and ranked eighth in the world.Exactly a year on and England have won 11 on the bounce under Jones, are second in the rankings and expectation is at its highest since those halcyon days of 2003.To mark Jones one-year anniversary, we look at what he said in the opening press conference and assess what has changed over the past 12 months.I will work out who I need to be hard with and who I need to be soft with. Jones appointment came with cautionary tales from those players he coached before who felt both the carrot and the stick. Ex-Wallabies captain James Horwill spoke at the time of there being no grey area with Jones, if you were under-performing then youd know it.The England players have seen this transparent and direct method of communicating. When Jones got the gig he reportedly gave pretty harsh assessments to Ben Youngs regarding his fitness, James Haskell on his form and Luke Cowan-Dickie on his off-field self-control.With Billy Vunipola he has spent much of the last year building his self-confidence, telling him hes going to be the best No.8 in the world. This direct, no nonsense style of management has struck a chord with the players and the results speak for themselves.Weve got to develop openside flankers. Ive got three or four names of guys who can potentially play there. This is still a problem area for Jones. Teimana Harrison, Jack Clifford, Tom Wood and Haskell have all been tried there - the latter is in the box seat - but it looks like he has opted to move away from a fetcher to what he terms their stopper.Sam Jones, Mike Williams and Clifford are options for the future but it seems he is still assessing the options available to him.What are good values in rugby? You need discipline, you need to work hard, you need to want to be part of the team. These values are at the heart of his England side. He challenges the players and wants them to be desperate to play for their country.His approach in the week leading up to the Fiji Test was to reiterate how he was not just going to give caps away but instead he wanted players to buy into his ethos. If their face does not fit then they will not be given a chance.Sir Clive Woodward wrote at the time of Jones appointment that forging an identity needed to be high up his priority list. He has done this through a player-led environment. He looks to his captain Dylan Hartley and vice-captains Billy Vunipola, Owen Farrell and Mike Brown to drive inner-squad values and they self-police squad discipline.The first thing with a captain is that he has to be one of the first players selected. Secondly, whatever values weve got in the team theyve got to live those values. Dylan Hartley has been Englands captain since Jones got the job and he has been an essential figure in driving and maintaining standards. With the off field behaviour of Englands football captain dominating the news agenda this week, Hartley was asked about his own values. It wwas telling that he saw his leadership approach as treating men like men so you get men. Jaleel Johnson Womens Jersey. The traditions of English rugby are to have a strong set piece and to be defensively strong. Then, to score points you need to be able to score off your ball and score points off the opposition ball. Alongside the above quote from his opening press conference, Jones added: We arent going to be copying how the All Blacks play. We are going to have our own style of play.Englands set piece has been sturdy and this was an early priority for Jones. They are still developing their attacking game -- this is the final piece of the Jones-England jigsaw -- and the defence is a work in progress. When he got the job, ex-Wallaby David Campese said Jones style of rugby is robotic but a year on that looks to be an unfair assessment of how England have played.Their tour in Australia personified the above qualities and some of their play and movement against Fiji suggested they are making strides in the scoring points area.One of the goals is by 2019 to have a couple of the assistants ready to take over as head coach. I see that as a fundamental part of my job. Jones continually challenges his coaches to improve. Having bid farewell to Andy Farrell, Graham Rowntree and Mike Catt, he brought in Paul Gustard, Steve Borthwick and Neal Hatley.The three spent the summer learning from other coaches while Jones brings in outside figures to add a new voice and approach to training. Jones successor is not clear at the moment but he has three years to address this.In the next four years weve got to systematically bring young players in, give them enough experience so that in 2019 they have got enough to be consistent performers.Jones has handed out 11 debuts since taking the job and has brought through young players like Maro Itoje, Clifford, Elliot Daly, Nathan Hughes, Charlie Ewels and Kyle Sinckler. He has frequently spoken about the need for depth and as many as four options per position.No doubt some of the younger players will fail to take the next step but there are another layer on his radar like Mike Haley, Jacob Rowan and Will Evans who will get their chance at some stage.At least 70 percent of the World Cup squad can go on to 2019. All players are starting on zero, there is always an opportunity to change things. Starting from zero applies to Tom Wood and Chris Robshaw. Jones was pretty scathing of Robshaws ability as a Test flanker while in charge of Japan but the Quins man impressed the coach and was named his player of the Six Nations.Jones told Wood he was pretty ordinary when he took the England job but worked on areas of his game and won back his place in the squad. And as for the 2019 World Cup? Jones has both short-term and long-term plans for players and tactics.Its been a case of so far, so good for the Jones era. It will be fascinating to see what happens when they lose and how both the coach and players react but based on his first year, he could not have hoped for much better than 11 straight wins, a Grand Slam and a series win against the Wallabies.
