"I went down there for a couple of days and worked out with him," Roosevelt said. "It was good to get an understanding of where he wants me to be on the field. Even through training camp and now, we talk all the time trying to get a feel for each other.
"It’s great when you’ve got a player like him who has seen it all. For me, it’s a chance to get under his wing. It’s been exciting."
EJ and the REDBLACKS have started strong.

Trevor Harris, making his first start in place of the injured Henry Burris, passed for 395 yards and threw touchdowns to Ernest Jackson, Greg Ellingson and Chris Williams as the Redblacks defeated the Alouettes 28-13 on Thursday.
Drew Willy and the bombers are struggling, but he still has the support of his coach.
"(Drew Willy)'s going to grow in this offence also, but the only way he's going to grow is to be out there playing."https://t.co/OUEdgp5vZw
