Forget perfection and forget the two points in the standings that don\u2019t exist. Jack Coan is still setting out to just win, baby.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe No. 1 goal is to go out there and get a win for the team,\u201d Coan, listed as the Saskatchewan Roughriders\u2019 starting quarterback for Monday\u2019s preseason game against the Calgary Stampeders, told Riders play-by-play announcer Dave Thomas on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m going to play the whole game or whatever it is but that\u2019s the main goal going in there. Obviously I want to just execute the offence, do my job on each and every play. I know it\u2019s not going to be perfect but I just want to try for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coan will be backed up Monday by Tommy Stevens and Brayden Schager\u00a0as he looks to cement his role as understudy to regular season\u00a0starter Trevor Harris. Over the past two seasons in Saskatchewan he has completed 12 of 29 passes for 138 yards and one touchdown, in addition to 16 rushes for 54 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been in the offence a few years now so I definitely know the offence very well,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of going out and executing now and if I like something let \u2018er rip. If I don\u2019t, check the ball down. Just try to play the game and do my job.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coan will be throwing Monday to a group of starting receivers who, outside of Siaosi Mariner and Dhel Duncan-Busby, have a combined one career regular season catch in the Canadian Football League.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a factor though he sees as more of a feature than a bug.<\/p>\n
\u201cI trust all the guys on this team,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019ve competed at such a high level. I know nothing\u2019s gonna be perfect. They\u2019re gonna make mistakes, I\u2019m definitely gonna make some mistakes, it\u2019s just a matter of how I bounce back and go about it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Forget perfection and forget the two points in the standings that don\u2019t exist.
