Why hasn’t Jason Clermont been more involved in the Saskatchewan Roughriders offence?
It was a fairytale scenario in the off-season for Jason Clermont, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and their fans.
Clermont, coming off an injury filled year in British Columbia, had been released by head coach Wally Buono. The Riders didn’t wait long for before contacting Clermont, and eventually a deal was done. For many Rider fans, it was a deal they had been waiting for ever since Clermont entered the Canadian Football League.
With around 6,000 career yards and 37 touchdowns compiled his career, Clermont was expected to help bolster an offence that was already pretty talented, and provide some veteran leadership to the young players on the roster.
While the later point may be true, Clermont’s offensive production has been lacklustre. Many have dubbed Clermont’s time with the Roughriders a disappointment.
With only 215 yards a good ways through the season, it is hard to argue with this claim.
So why has Clermont been under utilized in Roughriders offence?
