“It’s tough especially you know you have a good group of guys like we have,” shared running back Jamal Morrow. “It’s a family in here so to see everybody go their separate ways is tough.”
It is déjà vu for the Riders as they end a second consecutive season on a seven-game losing streak and miss the playoffs.
The first time the team has missed the post season in back to back years since 2015-2016.
“It’s frustrating. I mean we though we were mindful of [what happened] last year you know. We thought we’d be able to make a difference [this year] and unfortunately the same thing happened,” Morrow said.
“You always have to come in and do what you have to do from the beginning of the year. You have to keep the focus, worker harder in the off-season and when you come in, make sure that doesn’t happen again,” said defensive lineman, Anthony Lanier II.
The team had high hopes to change the narrative this year when they signed veteran quarterback Trevor Harris.
