Alex Hall is an excellent addition to the 2015 Riders. Hopefully he can do like John Chick when he came back from the NFL and again be an explosive CFL D end. Our defense is shaping up real fine.

I might be blind but I don't see anything about the Alex Hall signing! Very nice to have him coming back. He and Chick as our starting D Ends. Can't complain.
