Rodgers tackled the challenge in fine fashion
One yard the Ottawa Redblacks’ Diontae Spencer didn’t gain against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Sunday’s CFL East Division semi-final turned out to be of greater importance than the 157 receiving yards he did amass.
Trailing 31-14, Ottawa was in a third-and-five situation on Saskatchewan’s 22-yard line with fewer than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Eschewing a field-goal attempt, Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell opted to gamble. Spencer was a logical target, considering that he had piled up 153 yards on eight receptions to that point.
Ottawa quarterback Trevor Harris found Spencer on a short crossing route. There was only one problem: Kacy Rodgers II had diagnosed the play.
The Roughriders cornerback tackled Spencer one yard shy of the first-down marker. The turnover on downs effectively secured the outcome, and a berth in this Sunday’s East final against the host Toronto Argonauts, for the Roughriders.
Ottawa finished with 500 yards of net offence, but 0.20 per cent of that amount — the one yard Spencer could not get — carried more weight.
“I think it was huge, especially because Spencer was having a great game against us — particularly me — up to that point,” Rodgers said after Wednesday’s practice at Carleton University.
“We changed the coverages a little bit, but we basically stuck to what we knew. Based on my keys, I had an idea somewhat of what he was going to run once he motioned down. I just took advantage of that and really just took my shot.
“If he had run anything else, I probably would have been in a little bit of trouble, but thank goodness he ran what I thought he would and I was able to come up and just make a good play.”
Earlier, it did not look promising for the 25-year-old son of New York Jets defensive co-ordinator Kacy Rodgers.
In the first quarter, Spencer had beaten the junior Rodgers for a 56-yard touchdown pass from Harris. The Redblacks then unveiled an oft-replayed touchdown celebration that included Spencer being held in the air, parallel to the ground, by Dominique Rhodes and Juron Criner. Another Ottawa receiver, Greg Ellingson, then did the limbo underneath Spencer.
