Ford<\/a> finished the game with four tackles against the Redblacks.<\/p>\n“Here’s his third-down stop, which was huge. It was a five-point game at that point,” Suitor explained. “He comes off the edge, and he’s getting his nose dirty in a lot of plays.”<\/p>\n
The six-foot,\u00a0210-pound DB\u00a0is now in his fourth season with the Green and White. Through four games, Ford has totalled 13 defensive tackles and one special teams tackle.<\/p>\n
Evaluating the overall game\u00a0against Ottawa, Suitor believes\u00a0the Riders win was a team effort.<\/p>\n
“I think it was a different way that they won than other games that they won earlier,” Suitor reflected on the game.<\/p>\n
“When your quarterback throws an interception, and it wasn’t Trevor’s fault, it was a hit that bounced in the air,\u00a0early interception, and they had to overcome that. They had to overcome some special teams mishaps, then the special teams came up and contributed. So they won in a different way.”<\/p>\n
Saskatchewan’s next opponent will be hosting the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on\u00a0Sunday. Last year, the Riders faced them twice and defeated them. The first 28-23 in Week 2\u00a0and later 29-9 in Week 11.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SportsCage CFL analyst Glen Suitor has noticed how Saskatchewan Roughriders’ defensive back Jaxon Ford has elevated his game.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":790955,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[3878,49,48,521,522,520,3290,4398,27684,27683,1893,4401,27682,4400,4399,82],"class_list":["post-790954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-agriculture","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-contests","tag-country-music","tag-gx94","tag-manitoba-news","tag-radio","tag-rider-radio","tag-saskatchewan-news","tag-saskatchewan-roughriders","tag-saskatchewan-sports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=790954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790954\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/790955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=790954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=790954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=790954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
