00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.479
Well, happy Monday morning. Everyone
read here with the Mark Cast. A

2
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.039
couple of programming notes. I'll bring
in Jason Hussey standing by trying to go

3
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:47.000
live here multiple platforms today. Normally
I try to protect the YouTube views,

4
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.280
but we're trying this now. You
know, direct to the Facebook page,

5
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.000
direct on Twitter, so you know, if you're seeing this, maybe we'll

6
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.399
get some more viewers. Maybe we
won't, but you know, I can

7
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.119
subscribe if you make your way over
to the YouTube channel. Also, next

8
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.479
week we will be flipped. Jason
and I will be doing the Tuesday recap

9
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.640
show following the Monday night at BC
at Toronto game, and then Pat and

10
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.799
I will be on Monday doing the
usno recap game. So American Holidays next

11
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.519
week. I don't know how Canadians
kind of handled the fourth of July,

12
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.400
but I have no days off here
and we'll be doing that. But Jason,

13
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.239
I will be Tuesday next week Game
of the Week. We'll preview that

14
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.120
with BC and all of that.
But we'll bring in raise your hand if

15
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:30.359
you're owing three here and in week
three of the CFL. Jason, this

16
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.560
was a tremendous weekend. This was
a tremendous weekend. We don't have Evan

17
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.599
here today. You and I I
think we can handle this. What did

18
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.200
you make of the just kind of
the games overall? And then I have

19
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.120
lots of notes. I'm very excited. Well, unfortunately, the first thing

20
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.519
I wanted to bring up is just
the amount of injuries we saw on that

21
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.719
Cambrey Saskatchewan game, both teams.
Just it seemed like every other play somebody

22
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.480
was going down, and it was
unfortunate because that was an excellent game,

23
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:02.040
in the best game we've seen so
far this season. Yeah, this injury

24
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.120
bug is not going well Calgary.
I have a couple of tweets here people

25
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.039
out we still don't know when Missoli
is coming back, kind of what's going

26
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.439
on with that. We still don't
have a timetable. The other interesting note

27
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.439
I had kind of going into all
of this, So we've talked the stats

28
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.560
lines and all of that. I
think I known that what we're talking about

29
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.120
now, So at some point I
hope this CFL game gets finished here if

30
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.719
you're looking on the CFL plus Saskatchewan
and Calgary is still going in overtime here

31
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.960
as we record this on Monday morning. I thought it was interesting enough that

32
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.039
I don't know if he's a friend
of the show yet. We're working on

33
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:38.439
Justin Donk and I guess they were
talking to Randy or he was doing the

34
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.759
pressure before the Winnipeg game. And
I did love the friend of the show.

35
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.879
Gary Stern checked in here and said, because the quote is this is

36
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.639
not a failure. Randy's trying to
explain the statistical issue in Garryson, I

37
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.159
love the CFL. That's a failure, no excuses. So still dealing with

38
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.680
that. Any other thoughts on that. I just thought that was funny that

39
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.439
Gary took the time to He seems
like he's vocal again. Now, yeah,

40
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.199
I guess he's not restrained from not
that he was ever restrained, but

41
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.199
you know by like the being the
CFL owner. But yeah, the statistical

42
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.159
issue just has to be fixed as
soon as possible. You know, it's

43
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.719
just inexcusable in my opinion. So, um, yeah, So where do

44
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.240
you want to start here? Today? Four games slate Next week we'll be

45
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.840
back to three four games here?
Do you want to start at the beginning

46
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.439
of the end? I think we
should start with the big statement win of

47
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:36.000
the week Thursday night. I like
that. So this was probably one of

48
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:40.800
the greatest nights I've ever had watching
the CFL here kept it was close at

49
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:43.840
the beginning, and I had kind
of my thoughts going, I'm like,

50
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.520
I don't know, because we win
the pit, BC always looks good.

51
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.680
Okay, we can beat the crap
out of you know, Calgary is kind

52
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.400
of having the off year. We
can beat Edmond Timpoth and you get your

53
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.560
true test here. And this was
Kurt, like you said the statement with

54
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:01.120
what were your early thoughts on this
one? Just that like the execution that

55
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:06.479
BC showed was just remarkable. The
lack of execution that the Bombers showed.

56
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.360
It was just the fact that this
game was such a blow was just such

57
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.639
a shock to me. It was
in Winnipeg, Like, the last team

58
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.160
to beat Winnipeg on the road by
more than ten points was the Tiger Cats

59
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:24.000
back in twenty nineteen, and that
was quite the juggernaut of a regular season

60
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.279
team. So, I mean,
it just shows you how rare this is.

61
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.720
And BC just has so many playmakers. Then they had so many guys

62
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:38.480
out, Dominic Grimes out, who
else was out for them? But yeah,

63
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.480
Kean Hatcher, it's not in the
lineup still. But you know,

64
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:46.199
even beyond those guys, they have
so many playmakers. Alexander Hollins looks excellent

65
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:53.360
breakout receiver of the year and the
CFL looks like Lucky Whitehead had some good

66
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.560
moments in this game. So that's
really what stood up to me, just

67
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.160
the amount of sheer playmaking ability in
the execution from BC from a game planning

68
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.319
standpoint, and they just really wanted
this one. I think we're, if

69
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.959
we're ever gonna get Vernon set up
for success like this is it right?

70
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.879
You're playing your defense his lights out. You don't have to worry about going

71
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.319
out and scoring. I mean,
we've got thirty points here, but you

72
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.560
don't like, you don't have to
do that. You can win with a

73
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.800
twenty two game against see Alex Like, I just feel like he's someone that

74
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.319
gets maybe a little flustered in that, like, Okay, I gotta go

75
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.519
I gotta go out and score.
I gotta go out like we can kicks

76
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.199
and Philips, we can do.
This wasn't a problem here running up and

77
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.240
down the field. I loved Ryan
Phillips or you know, DC, we're

78
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.800
already seeing here. You know,
Mike Mitchell was talking in our chat.

79
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.120
You know he's gonna get hired for
a head coach. Did you know I

80
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.920
filmed Ryan phillips wedding? Were you
aware of that? Did you know that

81
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.480
the baccalor of Ryan Phillips and the
Mark Ast No, well that's awesome.

82
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.879
I've never heard of that. Yes, spent New Year's even Ryan. I

83
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:51.240
remember it because this is obviously pre
this was like six seven years ago.

84
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.399
This was pre anything with you know, the CFL. And I remember like

85
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.920
he was like this because I was
talking with like his griomsman, and because

86
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.360
he had like this big gold suit
on and the spike shoes and just the

87
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.920
to the ninth dancing down the coming
down the aisle, and I remember talking

88
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.639
with this cruise like he's like a
huge star in the CFL. I was

89
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:15.920
like, what is that? Who
is cares about that? But yeah,

90
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:17.959
then I remember it was the first
we were it was the first season we're

91
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:19.759
covering the game. So I'm watched
like, oh my god, that's right

92
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:25.040
Phillips like I know him, So
congrats to him. Certainly would probably see

93
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.959
him on these shortlists. Here are
CFL head coaches moving forward? Do you

94
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.600
not think? Yeah? Absolutely?
And I think both of their coordinator's offense

95
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.879
and defense. I think Jordan Max
Simmick has a very good chance, especially

96
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:40.480
with the offensive play calling around the
league. But yeah, definitely. Ryan

97
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.399
Phillips has been incredibly impressive. What
is it twenty one points allowed through three

98
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.360
weeks. That really speaks for itself. And with two quality wins versus Calvary

99
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:54.279
in Winnipeg two it's crazy. You
know, Mozzelle still looking great, you

100
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.639
know, one of the leady rushers
right now. I thought even OLIVERA,

101
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.279
there was all this going into the
game, Oh is he and to be

102
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:01.920
what's going? He seemed fine.
I don't really know if that was kind

103
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.959
of cloak and dagger here that we
don't want to we don't want to play

104
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.279
calling. But see, I mean
it seemed like it was fine. Did

105
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:13.279
you notice anything from OLIVERA. No. I think Brady looked great. Honestly.

106
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.560
I think that he's really impressed me
this year with how he's looked early

107
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.959
on. Um kind of a guy
that I underrated coming into this year,

108
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.279
but I think in terms of the
injury and the health going into this game,

109
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.439
he looked fine. I thought it's
funny too, Bets was getting you

110
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.000
know, Claro sack seven times here. You know, we had and someone

111
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.319
was saying that we needed to get
a nickname for the Bets guy for you

112
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.360
know, Stad Claris, that's mister
Claras, that's his father. Here,

113
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.160
I think that he's taken care of
him, great surprise. It just seemed

114
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.759
like they couldn't protect I never know
what to attribute that was. You know

115
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.800
week O line like we can't protect
Claros or just BC's defense is just playing

116
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.959
on a different level right now.
I think, um, you know,

117
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.319
BC throws a lot of different looks
at you, a lot of exotic blitz

118
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.199
packages. They got great linebackers as
well, But I think Betts has just

119
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.079
taken a massive leap so far this
season. I think he's honestly the leading

120
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.959
candidate to be most out tend the
Canadian Very early in the season here,

121
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.240
Uh funny too, we had Derek
Taylor, who is on the show last

122
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:18.160
week watching, We had the Shaun
White didn't field goal because like at the

123
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.079
beginning of the game, I'm like, god, points are really going to

124
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.720
be a premium But that's like I
don't really know what's going on. He

125
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.680
hit the field. This was the
eighteenth time that Shaan White has hit the

126
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.720
uprightir crossbar in his career most in
the CFL. Remarkable. Yeah, he's

127
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.480
had an incredible career, but that's
a that's an interesting stat for sure.

128
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:41.639
Let me get back over here otherwise, you know, it just it didn't

129
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.080
seem like, you know, Clara's
fifteen to sex looked really pedestrian, had

130
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.919
the one interception. Is this an
off week for BC? Is this an

131
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.120
ill prepared or is this BC is
really kind of on a different level.

132
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.200
I just think PC came in there
with a different motivation and kind of surprised

133
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.799
them. Uh, you know,
it's you got to remember that Winnipeg has

134
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.440
beaten the crap at a BC over
the last couple of years, even though

135
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.840
BC has been a pretty good team
over that time, and I think that,

136
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.080
you know, BC, it was
just their turn to really return the

137
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.679
favor and make a statement of their
own. It seems like it really was

138
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.200
kind of taking over everyone. We
had Hodge here talking. That's the first

139
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.879
time I've seen Winnipeg get out played
at home like this in a long time.

140
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.360
Too many penalties, too many defensive
breakdowns, not enough protection, too

141
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.799
doos to BC. It did seem
like you had a lot of Okay,

142
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.279
I was sleeping on BC. I
didn't really realize that. How have you

143
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.600
felt with your kind of circle here
with the CFL kind of perceptions being changed

144
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.240
over the weekend about BC or Winnipeg, Yeah, just about well, I

145
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.919
guess both. I guess both.
Okay, So I think Winnipeg, like

146
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.279
I think, the biggest thing for
me is that, you know, we

147
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.159
think of them as this great defense, but I think this defense looks very

148
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.240
vulnerable early in the season. I
don't know where they had ranked statistically,

149
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.360
but I you know, imagine that
they ranked towards the bottom of the league

150
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.679
in terms of passing yards allowed.
The secondary is getting chewed up through three

151
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.799
weeks of the season. So I
think that the perception of their defense being

152
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.000
this you know, jug ornaut that
it used to be. I think that

153
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.799
you know, there's from reality is
a little bit different. And I think

154
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:24.440
that for BC, I think that
people didn't really give credit towards the potential

155
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.679
that Vernon Adams had. I think
that Vernon has such an incredibly high ceiling.

156
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.519
It's all about him hitting that consistently. But I think that, you

157
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.600
know, people didn't really believe that
he could do that on a consistent level.

158
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.279
You'd think he'd have one stinker of
a game by now because that's kind

159
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.120
of the trend of his career.
But at this point of the season,

160
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.120
so far, so good. Yeah, is Zach pulled here? I had

161
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.919
it marked around the four minute mark, like we got let's get him out

162
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.320
of here, let's go readdress.
We had the data evanciety and you know

163
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.440
we're Vernon's out of the game.
A good seeing him on that. I

164
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.919
thought McGinnis looked good. It again, it felt like kind of like a

165
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.879
safety playing get for Vernon. We've
seen that with the Dolphins with Twa where

166
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.759
it's like fitt tyreeks down there are
somewhere just kind of hugs the ball.

167
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.480
I know this out a little bit
with Vernon, but obviously that guy's huged

168
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.679
at Jess McGinnis. I think he's
like six four whatever, just a massive

169
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.840
guy. It seems like he's really
stepped up. Because you know, we

170
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:22.559
haven't had the full suite with Kean
and like you said at the top,

171
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:28.679
Dominique kind of being off as well, so we still haven't seen I guess

172
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.120
the full potential of what BC has. Yeah. Absolutely, and like Javon

173
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.919
Katy as well. They just have
a really good combination of skill sets in

174
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.840
that receiving corps. Katy is kind
of like that tight end type body that

175
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.360
is good for, you know,
check down routes, and I think that

176
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.559
Hollins is an excellent route runner,
a bit of a burner himself. Lucky

177
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.720
White had obviously one of the fastest
players in the league, if not the

178
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.759
fastest player. So they just have
so many playmakers and it's made Vernon adams

179
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.320
job a lot easy. I'll tell
you that. Do you like Vernon The

180
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.879
storyline here of him running the water
out to the offensive lineman and in the

181
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.759
breaks, I think that that shows
like Vernon kind of knows that this is

182
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.480
I think Vernon's all in right now
on all facets of this. I think

183
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.519
it's the perfect fit for his career. You know, he's bounced around to

184
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.600
many different spots. He was here
in Hamilton when we had Johnny Manzel,

185
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:26.120
he was there in Montreal obviously Saskatchewan. Even so, he's bounced around the

186
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.799
league for a while. I believe
he's been in the league since twenty fifteen,

187
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.519
But this is the first time in
his career that I believe he truly

188
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.360
felt comfortable. Obviously he's a West
Coast guy, so that's probably playing the

189
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.519
factor. Um So I think doing
little things like that you can show you

190
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:46.039
can tell he's just really all in
on this season and the results are speaking

191
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.080
for themselves. Anytime I can throw
a little shade that friend of me in

192
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.799
the show, Daniel Austin here,
I have to do it. Danny says,

193
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.399
I could not have been more offen
my little preseason expectations of the Lions.

194
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.159
Yeah, Receder, I do like
this. I gu should just fought

195
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.159
this CFO or hockey season, take
up more of your time where people could

196
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.039
hear with the Lions. I don't
know. I think it's good. I

197
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.879
think it's good. I remember we
were I was going back because it was

198
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.600
this time last year, and I
was kind of something popped up into like

199
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:20.159
my Facebook memories or whatever, like
the episode that BC they were coming off

200
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.960
the big home wind, and then
they had the bye week and then it

201
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.120
was kind of screwing there, and
obviously Nathan work ended up kind of like

202
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.200
taking over the world. But I
feel like BC is carrying this momentum right

203
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.000
now and we have the big Monday
night game with Toronto, you know,

204
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.279
the defending champions here, could be
Mike Mitchell's call that you know, could

205
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.919
be the Great Cup previews. So
I just it feels like they got a

206
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.639
lot of momentum going their way right
now, which is exciting to see.

207
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:45.720
Yeah. Absolutely, I am so
excited for that matchup next week, to

208
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:50.360
see this BC offense go against this
um Toronto defense who won very highly on

209
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.000
as well. And then the other
side of the ball. I think Chad

210
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.200
Kelly's really going to get his first
big test in terms of great CFL defense.

211
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.120
He's going up again. I had
this, dude, I did all

212
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:09.960
these says word my thinger stats a
game stats would make them sad. But

213
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.840
you know, I mean, even
like you look here at the time of

214
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.279
possession, wasn't crazy different. I
mean, obviously the stacks and takeaways,

215
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.720
but I mean Winnipeg held the ball
a lot. It felt like I said

216
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.000
at the beginning, I'm kind of
holding my breath because Oliver Area is going

217
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.399
through and getting you know, four
or five yards every time. I mean,

218
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.720
it felt like, at least for
the first few minutes, it felt

219
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.200
a little closer than it ultimately ended
up being. Yeah, I think the

220
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.840
sacks were just killer for Winnipeg in
this game. I think you like you

221
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.000
said, I think they gave up
seven of them. I think anytime you

222
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.000
do that, like, sacks are
drive killers in the CFL. I mean

223
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.639
they can be in the NFL as
well, but in the CFL in particular,

224
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.320
three down league sacks or killer,
negative plays or killer. And I

225
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.720
think that. You know, one
thing to note with Winnipeg is that they're

226
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.879
very old in the trenches. So
I think that is where you could see

227
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.799
the biggest decline for them, and
you saw their tackles get beat up in

228
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.720
this game by guys like Matthew Betts. So some of the note going forward

229
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.919
for Winnipeg moving on here and we'll
roup this game up here in the second

230
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.720
Moving on, Are are you higher
on BC or you lower on Winnipeg.

231
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.399
I don't think I've lived in the
world where BC, where Winnipeg wasn't ranked

232
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.879
first in the West here, and
I've seen a lot of power rankings,

233
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.919
but BC obviously above them. Now
what do you just have the status quo

234
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.639
kind of here in the CFL West. I don't think I'm necessarily lower on

235
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.039
Winnipeg. I think it's kind of
good that they got that first loss out

236
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.799
of the way early on this season, as opposed to going ten and oh

237
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.879
last year. I think that took
a lot out of them, So I

238
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.600
think this is a good wake up
call for them. So I'm not necessarily

239
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.639
super concerned with them, but I'm
definitely higher on BC after seeing what they

240
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.960
did to Winnipeg. Anytime you can
go into a place that is as hard

241
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:54.080
to win as Winnipeg, that's incredibly
impressive. And they're definitely a top two

242
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.120
team minimal in the West Division at
this point going forward, and I had

243
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:03.320
them third in my season predictions,
but obviously Calgary's kind of going by the

244
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.639
wayside here. Yeah, we had
a we had a lot of you know,

245
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.799
sad Winnipeg fan crowd shots, kind
of like a Miss Girl back in

246
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.919
the like a lot of crying fans, people leaving early. I didn't like

247
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.799
that. I saw. I had
a tweet save where they're like, if

248
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.080
you're a Winnipeg fan after the last
three years, that you should never walk

249
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.200
out early on any of these games, after how well your team's performed.

250
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.279
Any thoughts on that. I mean, you were in the tie Cats game,

251
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:34.279
did you leave early? I did, but mostly just because honestly,

252
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:40.039
every everybody in the stadium, that
stadium was empty with five minutes left to

253
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.600
go in the fourth quarter, like
it was. But I mean, I

254
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:45.759
think it's a little bit different of
situation. Obviously, that was like their

255
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.519
first home loss and like forever four
in a peg or one of their rare

256
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:55.200
home losses, whereas Hamilton has just
started so poorly to this season. We'll

257
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.600
get to them the next game.
We'll talk about here a couple of things

258
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.000
did you enjoy? And he was
on the Sunday went to do do you

259
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.039
enjoy Paula Police on the round table
here? It was? Was it?

260
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:07.519
Naylor? I was like, who
is that? Because I'm kind of like

261
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.119
watching on my phone here. I'm
like, oh, that's paulaut Police here.

262
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.000
Yeah, that's what he's doing now. Yeah, I think he's actually

263
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.880
the best one on there, Like
I think he I think he provides the

264
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.480
best insight personally because obviously he's a
guy that's coached in the league recently.

265
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.680
He was on the TSN panel before
and then he went back into coaching offensive

266
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.359
cord here with Winnipeg and then that's
how we got the job with Ottawa.

267
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.519
So, um, you know,
he does have experience in that TSN role,

268
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.720
and uh, I think it's valuable
to have him on the panel.

269
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.680
Yeah, and then we had Kate
with the with like the hair. Kate

270
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:42.960
wanted to be bald too. I
don't know where they got a bald cap

271
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:45.559
there, if that was a pre
planned gimmick, but I could. I

272
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.200
was always good to see Naylor on
there. We have a couple of just

273
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.480
comments here, we'll move on Colson's
congrats and Lions got my wires wanted in

274
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.640
that crazy game. And then Sandusky
said the question was was it Nathan or

275
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.680
was it BC's wide receiver record?
They made him that good Mikes, Vernon

276
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.160
and Adams better than they are.
What do you what do you make of

277
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.279
that? Was it the receiving corps? Was it Nathan? I think it

278
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.279
was probably a little bit of both. I definitely think it's both. I

279
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.039
think that I was super high on
this BC wide receiver corps when they had

280
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.400
Mike Riley, so I think that
they've always had very good receivers. Obviously

281
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.759
Brian Burnham there for a number of
years, retiring this year. But I

282
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.880
mean, you just see how deep
they are this year and I think that,

283
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.119
um, you know, Vernon,
they may not have as big of

284
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:29.640
a ceiling with Vernon as they do
with Nathan Urk, and I think you've

285
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.599
seen that. I don't think you're
gonna see those was it fifty six fourteen

286
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.960
or whatever that first game last year
with Edmonton, But I think that you

287
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.359
just see this team is playing such
great, complimentary football on both sides.

288
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.200
And I think their defense is even
better than this year. So honestly,

289
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.319
um, I think it's a bit
of both. Like you said, all

290
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:51.920
right, let's get on here the
next game. You're a heartbreaker. You

291
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.119
were here for this. I'll let
you give the opening thoughts on the thirty

292
00:18:55.119 --> 00:19:00.079
eight to twelve Monshaal against Hamilton.
All right, so um an instant reactions

293
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.920
video on this one on my channel. I think that you know, the

294
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:08.160
main story is this one is that
when you look at the yards, it

295
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:15.240
looks pretty even for both teams.
But the ultimate story is Montreal scored touchdowns.

296
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.400
Hamilton scored field goals, especially in
that first half. Hamilton was up

297
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.480
six nothing early, settled for two
short field goals in the first quarter.

298
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.920
If they had scored one touchdown there, I think it's a completely different game.

299
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.799
They allow a part return touchdown at
the end of the first quarter that

300
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.640
was a killer. And you know
Montreal has never relinquished the lead, so

301
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.480
the execution was just so much better
from the Alouettes in this game. I

302
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:44.519
think that the coaching Lorlando Steinauert kind
of got taken to school by Jason Moss,

303
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.400
who is a very underrated offensive mind. I will say in the CFL

304
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.720
for all the flat that he does
get. And I think Cody Fajardo played

305
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:56.519
an extremely clean game once again,
zero turnovers in two games. I do

306
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.400
believe he has been sacked a bunch, but at the end of the day,

307
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.240
he keeps moving the offense along and
not turning the ball over, which

308
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.400
is super important for this team going
forward. I don't know how if you're

309
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.559
Hamilton, if we have James Butler, who's one of the leading rushers in

310
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:14.680
the league, and we have Schiltz
throwing for forty seven and Butler carrying it

311
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.319
four times or five times here,
I just think that's remarkable that you would

312
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:18.480
do the work to bring in And
I mean, I don't know if these

313
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.720
stats are I mean I watched the
game, but I don't know if these

314
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:23.400
stats are accurately on here, but
that seems to me that I would be

315
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:27.880
utilizing that a little bit more on
that. I'm so happy for Cody.

316
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.839
I was going to tweet out,
but it was like, you know,

317
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.119
I was so torn because we have
you, you know, and obviously the

318
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.319
tie cats, and you're wanting that
and you're there. I love Cody.

319
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:41.119
I'm so glad that he's kind of
getting I think the proper just being treated

320
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.920
like a normal human being and not
the scum of the earth because you're not

321
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.519
undefeated than Saskatchewan. I just I
think it's a better spot for him head

322
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.039
wise. Standback looked really good as
well. I think they felt like they

323
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.440
used him a little bit more rushing
and then he had a couple of receiving

324
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.799
they're kind of moving him around more
on there. It seemed like, yeah,

325
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:02.039
absolutely, it's great to get stand
Back going because he has not looked

326
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.079
good, um, you know,
dating back to like when it came back

327
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:07.279
from that injury last year. So
it's good to finally get him going.

328
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:12.319
That's one thing that's very different about
Hamilton this year is their run defense.

329
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:17.240
I believe it's last in the CFL. That was a hallmark of this defense

330
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:21.079
for years, So that's one thing
that's kind of raising alarm bells for me

331
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:25.519
as a Tiger Cats fan. It
looked I mean, they looked good early

332
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.440
on. I mean we had that
first it was that first drive and Schiltz

333
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.200
had that bomb. I mean,
we have our group chat kind of we

334
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.839
changed the names of it, kind
of as the winds blow here, but

335
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:38.160
we had it Shilt Season going into
the game because we were all excited,

336
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.960
Okay, mad these Shelts is going
to get this now. We've renamed it

337
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.640
to says on due Cody Fijar though
here and they recognition of of Cody's good

338
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:48.880
work. But yeah, it seemed
like, like you said, suddenly for

339
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.200
these field goals, I really came
back to buy them there where they were

340
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:55.480
moving the field early on, I
mean they were getting yarded and Hamilton was,

341
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:59.440
yeah, absolutely, they were moving
the ball between the twenties just could

342
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:03.519
not and I thought, you know, Duke Williams Tim White both had excellent

343
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:06.000
games in this one, but at
the end of the day, they missed

344
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:10.279
some open receivers in the end zone
really cost them the game. Honestly,

345
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:14.920
So I think that, you know, it's just such a disappointing start for

346
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.440
the Tiger Cats this season, and
I'm having troubled deciding what they should do

347
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:22.759
going forward. I think it honestly
could be a coaching thing. I think

348
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.680
that, you know, at a
certain point, a lot of coaches and

349
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.359
professional sports just get figured out.
They have success early on Orlando Steinauer great

350
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.599
first year with Hamilton, but I
think that they're starting to be figured out

351
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.000
on both sides of the ball.
The tricks that they used to use are

352
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.519
not working anymore, and you know, like I said, I think they're

353
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:44.119
just getting figured out. So I
think it might just be a coaching thing.

354
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.680
I also had I had my saved
thinger I can't find it, but

355
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:53.119
there's like the meme where it's a
security guard like not padding down anyone that

356
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.799
they walk into the stadium. But
that felt like the tie Cats as well.

357
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:59.519
Like the tie Cats could not tackle
at all, could not pull anybody

358
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.960
down at all. I felt,
I mean, this is kind of stuff

359
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:06.759
where like I don't know if that's
a coachable thing or if that's a player

360
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:08.880
of thing, but like let's go
here. I mean, these are things

361
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.119
they're only making your mother's worst.
Yeah, don't get me wrong. The

362
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:18.400
execution in terms of the tackling just
terrible. Like I said, that run

363
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.480
defense is not, you know,
looking good so far this season. I

364
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.880
think a lot of that has to
do with discipline and tackling obviously. So

365
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.559
honestly, at the end of the
day, I'm just very disappointed with the

366
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.039
way this season has started for the
Tiger Cats, And like I said,

367
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.880
I don't know what to do,
what they should do going forward? Yeah,

368
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:40.240
because that's the thing. So you
know, bows out Now he's on

369
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:42.920
the sixth game. That doesn't necessarily
mean he's gonna miss six games. I

370
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.720
don't know if he comes back.
Yeah, how do you? I don't

371
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:49.119
know how you reboot this year.
I mean this was supposed to be.

372
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:52.279
I mean we talked about this in
our pre kickoff everything. I mean,

373
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:56.720
this is great coup of bus they're
hosting this year, and they're they're paying

374
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.319
me a bow half a million dollars. Like you say, weird calculated air

375
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.880
here to think that you had n
f other pieces. I don't know.

376
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.519
I mean, looking back now,
do you think that they should have seen

377
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:10.000
this coming or do we see this
coming? Like, how do you view

378
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.720
this now? Looking back? I
think there was always a risk. You

379
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:17.319
should have always known there was a
risk that bold Levin Mitchell was not going

380
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.480
to, you know, get back
to or even close to that level that

381
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:23.359
we saw back in twenty eighteen when
he was a MP of the CFL,

382
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.799
because we haven't seen anything in recent
memory to tell us anything differently. So

383
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:30.680
I mean I always had that in
my back of my mind, but I

384
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.759
thought that maybe, you know,
Matthew Schiltz could step in if both falters.

385
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:37.759
You know, I still think he
could. I think you put up

386
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.079
really good yardage in this game.
It's all about finishing drives, but I

387
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.759
worry about the time it takes to
do that. I'm just more frustrated with

388
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.960
how slow this team starts. I
bet this team still get to finished with

389
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.839
seven or eight wins because this team
is always a second half of the season

390
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.720
type of team. But they dig
themselves holes year after year, and it's

391
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.200
just incredibly frustrating. It's like the
first month of the year. It's like

392
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:06.400
a preseason. It was funny we
had I believe Cliffy was there with Montreal

393
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:10.160
Alt's Flight Thick podcast. He was
at the stadium. I heard uh,

394
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:14.079
some airhorns going some of the Montreal
Tim Kapper was in Hawaii, so I

395
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:18.440
knew it wasn't him. I was
thinking, I wanted to figure out some

396
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:21.880
way that we can get the Tiecatter
humming song, but just with the air

397
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:23.960
horns plant if that if there was
a way that we can get that cover

398
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.599
of that, because I do love
that song, but I loved hearing like

399
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:32.519
and especially known where you're it's in. You know, it's in Hamilton's so

400
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.160
you know you have like just two
or three guys in the stand. I'm

401
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.839
like, that's balls, your balls, You're gonna get your ass. You're

402
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.680
trying to do that in in the
hammer. Yeah, maybe we could work

403
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.480
something out for the Great Cup of
mountre All makes it there. Yeah,

404
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.480
And then I had a couple of
their notes here. Who is it?

405
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.720
Austin Mac looked really good. I
mean, it just seems like Cody's got

406
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.359
a lot of tools there. Julian
Grant looking and looking good as well.

407
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.799
I just it's like he's a new
man. It's like Cody for Jerio getting

408
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.359
the screwback. I want to talk
the cheve here at the end the chev

409
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.119
felt around the world. What did
you make of that? Because I'm gonna

410
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:14.039
pull up the tweet absolutely inexcusable in
any professional sport, even any amateur sport

411
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:18.039
to do that to an opponent,
You're gotta have some level or respect,

412
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:21.279
play between the lines, whistle to
whistle. But at the end of the

413
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:23.519
day, I mean, that's just
ridiculous. I mean, like I think

414
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:26.480
it was Milt Stiegel that said it
on the TSN panel. It's like,

415
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:30.599
if you want to fight the guy
if someone said something to you, um,

416
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.559
you know, fight the guy,
like ask him to fight after the

417
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.119
game. But I mean, you
don't do that. That's just a very

418
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.160
very bad look for the team.
And just the reaction from Orlando Steinhauer as

419
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.359
well, who doesn't usually show a
lot of emotion like that. Um yeah,

420
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.680
look at him right there, like
it's it's crazy. So I was

421
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.559
very disgusted as a as a tire
Cat fan and a fan of the CFL.

422
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.960
Yeah, my tweet was when someone
tells me they don't like the CFL,

423
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:59.119
I thought that was fun. Let's
go out there, I just punk,

424
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:00.279
fake, I'm and show up.
Yeah. I had the quote here

425
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:04.079
from stein Howard talking I think don
cab the story here where it was talking,

426
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:10.200
Yeah, that's not who we are. It calls Chris Awards, fohandshall

427
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:14.240
on oxomack inexcusable, not good.
I mean, I don't know, you

428
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:17.920
get that in hockey a lot.
You get when you know we're beating Arizona,

429
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:19.599
you know you're up for one or
something and they started getting chibby.

430
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:25.039
You just don't see that. Football
obviously moderates and handles that very differently than

431
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:27.680
hockey, but that's certainly not something
you can do, and it just hasn't

432
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:32.599
said the tone good for the season
here especially But you know, excuse me,

433
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:34.599
Montreal came in and kind of slapped
you around at home. So yep,

434
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.160
um looking any other notes here?
We had every hunt was checking out

435
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:44.160
the game. That was good.
Sheltz I had taken a lot of hits

436
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:45.960
as well. It just felt like
he was running getting beat up and they

437
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:51.160
had one scramble where he didn't they
like got tripped up and couldn't get through.

438
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:53.559
But felt, I don't know,
just felt kind of like a shlacking

439
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:57.119
overall here. Anything else from this
game or you wanted to move forward in

440
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.680
your heart? Yeah, So I
think one thing with Schiltz is I was

441
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:04.759
noticing a lot of batted passes at
the line, So I don't know if

442
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:08.240
that's just a him thing or it
is just that Montreal defensive line with a

443
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:12.559
lot of length up front. Um, Jamal Davis is a guy that's kind

444
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.680
of compared to Willie Jefferson up there, So I think that, you know,

445
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.200
maybe that's something to watch going forward
with him, something that I noticed

446
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.079
a lot in this game. But
uh yeah, I think that's just about

447
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:26.319
it for me with this game.
I think that, Um, just looking

448
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.200
at my notes here, one thing
I wanted to mention is Siante Evans,

449
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.039
another former Tiger Cat coming back to
burn them here with a UM. I

450
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.240
believe it was pick six, I
would. I don't know which one went

451
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:40.319
for pickum. There was two interceptions. One of them went back for a

452
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:41.880
touchdown, one of them went back
for a long return. But yeah,

453
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.400
Sianta Evans got one of them against
his former team, another tire Cat coming

454
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:48.599
back to bite them. Oh I
had this as well here on here,

455
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.960
and then you didn't even get your
drone show. You didn't even the big

456
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.559
drones show they had playing out the
weather and all that. Of course,

457
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:59.640
I guess you said the stadium was
empty anyway, So does that do anything

458
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.359
FOREFL fans like, oh, we
get the drone show coming about to the

459
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:07.200
home opener, Well, I will
stay for the next game to see it

460
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:10.839
because I'm very interested was to what
it would look like. But I don't

461
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:15.559
think I don't think it's going to
be a huge draw in my opinion.

462
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.599
But they do like a family's on
the field kind of thing, and they

463
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:21.519
even canceled that and they were like, all right, everybody just get out

464
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:25.359
of here, like everybody's leaving.
Anyway, it was pouring rain right when

465
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:29.119
you know everybody was leaving the building. The rain kind of held off most

466
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:32.480
of the most of the evening was
kind of a light trickle, but you

467
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:33.799
know, at the end of the
game, it was kind of a symbolic

468
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:38.359
everybody's leaving the stadium and the rain
just started pouring. So yeah, we

469
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:41.920
went to the Gray Cup. There. We we gambled poorly and we tried

470
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.720
to get out because we had a
flight early the next day, and we

471
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.400
kind of ended up getting and we
walked through like industrial area for about a

472
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:52.279
good hour. They're trying to get
back to our airbnb. So yeah,

473
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.960
sometimes you probably know obviously we could
navigate better than I can, but certainly

474
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:59.160
it kind of issues with that.
All right, let's get here. This

475
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:03.119
was an interesting game. Slow to
start. What was it like, six

476
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.079
to sixty three at a half or
six to nine? What was it?

477
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:11.279
Yeah, sixty to three and a
half Calgary, you know, sinscatchwan at

478
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.559
Calgary here. Danny Austin said that
there was a lot of Saskatchewan rough Rider

479
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.000
fans there. He said, he
normally doesn't notice that. What did you

480
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.039
make of this one? Calgary here
dropping another? Well, I mean in

481
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.559
terms of, you know, it's
weird how bad the first half was,

482
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.160
But I think this was the best
game so far this season that really picked

483
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:33.400
up in the second half. Both
quarterbacks made some nice plays and some not

484
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.759
so nice plays. But at the
end of the day, I think it

485
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:41.559
was a very entertaining classics CFL comeback
at the end of the fourth quarter,

486
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:45.119
just when you thought Calgary was out
of it, they came back from ten

487
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.240
points with like six minutes left.
So, honestly, I was very entertained

488
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.240
with this one. I was,
you know, pretty impressed with how the

489
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.440
quarterbacks played in the second half,
with the exception of a couple of really

490
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.240
really bone headed throws from Jake Mayer. Who will We'll talk about more in

491
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:04.599
a minute here. Yeah, starting
up. Yeah, this was the first

492
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:07.640
overtime game of the season, right, if I'm not mistaken, when the

493
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:12.240
USFL game on Satary, they went
to overtime weekend of overtime game share with

494
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:15.960
the Pittsburgh Mawlers. Kind of in
chune it out there, Harris, you

495
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:19.079
know, looks good. Had the
interception, Yeah, Mayor, I had

496
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.039
him or my note said early on
like Mayor just looks off. I mean

497
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.160
he just I don't know. We
talked last week. If it's the pressure

498
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:27.400
now we don't have bow here,
I kind of guy to do it all

499
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:33.359
my own. What do you attribute
Mayor's kind of accuracy issues too. I

500
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:36.079
just think he's kind of overthinking it. I think, like I said in

501
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:38.079
the group chat the other day,
I think he looks like Dane Evans did

502
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.799
last year. He kind of looks
like a deer in the headlights. He's

503
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.720
kind of succumbing to the pressure of
being the number one guy for that team,

504
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.519
and especially when you look at Calgary's
history of great quarterbacks, he has

505
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.079
a lot to live up to.
And on top of that, all his

506
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:57.039
receivers are getting injured. As well, very thin wide receiver group even going

507
00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:01.319
into this season. But now Malik
Henry on the shelf, Reggie Bagleton's on

508
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:05.319
the sixth game, So I mean, it does not look good for a

509
00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:08.240
Calgary unless they can get some really
you know, young players to step up

510
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:12.240
here. A lot of their Canadian
receiver is gonna have to play really well

511
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:15.160
for them. So I think Jake's
just looked really off in terms of the

512
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:20.480
accuracy, which I thought was his
biggest calling card going into this year.

513
00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.319
I thought that was the biggest reason
why he would succeed in the CFL.

514
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.759
Not really a guy that's gonna push
the ball down field the ton, but

515
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:29.759
I thought he was gonna be a
guy that you know, executed with rhythm

516
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:31.839
in the pass a game and could
you know, deliver a ball on target

517
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:36.880
when it needed to. But just
a lot of passes sailing high through the

518
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:38.599
first three weeks of the season.
He has lots of time to turn it

519
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:43.079
around, and I think Calgary's gonna
give him the full eighteen games to do

520
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:45.799
it. But at the end of
the day, it just does not look

521
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:50.400
good so far this season from him
and for me personally as a guy that

522
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:53.799
was super high on him going into
the season. I'm personally out on him

523
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:57.759
now, like, just based on
what I've seen, I just don't think.

524
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:01.240
I just think he's totally regressed from
what I've seen previously. The past

525
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:05.720
couple of seasons, it really felt
like they were they were set up,

526
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:07.759
right. I have this tweeter pulled
up. Ryan's one of our Calgary fans.

527
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:10.599
Yeah, there was like a wide
open there right right at the beginning

528
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:15.359
of the game. May Or kind
of overthrowing. Yeah, it feels overthinking

529
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:17.279
that Dan last year, Like Dan
was so in his head and it was

530
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:20.880
like he couldn't even you could never
get out of it, couldn't get out

531
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:22.680
of the funk. I just,
yeah, your Calgary. Now, you

532
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.440
really felt like we're set up for
the next five, six, seven years

533
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:30.240
here. We don't have to worry. And now obviously you know tie Cat's

534
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.039
got to figure out what they're doing. But you know, it's like neither

535
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:35.759
team's better off now. It feels
like both of these teams, with Hamilton

536
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:40.039
and Calgary, I just don't know
how how you can regress so far so

537
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:44.680
quickly. It just feels like the
floor has falled out right fallen out right

538
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:47.880
now yeah, absolutely, And I
think a lot of it also falls back

539
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:53.960
on the offensive coaching. Dave Dickinson. Obviously, he took over the GM

540
00:33:54.039 --> 00:34:00.119
responsibilities this offseason, and they had
some controversial departures from this ross sum even

541
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.039
you know, before training camp,
the release of Derek Dennis. I think

542
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.079
that was potentially huge for this team. I think that, um, you

543
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:12.840
know, the screen passes really drive
me insane, and how often they're called

544
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:16.519
with this within this offense, there's
just nothing that's attempted more than ten yards

545
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:20.719
down the field, and it's just
it drives me nuts. How many times

546
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:23.880
we see like a second and eight
and they throw a five yard crosser and

547
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:27.480
it's tackled short of the sticks.
So, I mean, I think a

548
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.960
lot of it falls back. I'm
coaching from Calgary and we saw a lot

549
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:34.280
of that last year when you know, Mayor took over as the starter as

550
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.559
well well, and even someone like
Derek Dennis, like, and I know

551
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:39.719
that he's a little bit older,
right than kind of injury obviously had the

552
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:44.199
injuries last year. Like that's someone
that could be a locker room leader,

553
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.039
a kind of guy, and I
just think that that's underserved, especially in

554
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:49.920
the cfl or like, but you
know, the salary cap is so low

555
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:52.000
and like we can't we can't deal
with any of this stuff. Like I

556
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:54.880
think having someone like him there kind
of picking this up. Because right Calgary

557
00:34:54.920 --> 00:35:00.360
beat the Red Blacks, which isn't
really an accomplishment. I think this point

558
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:02.800
that we can talk about them in
the previous I just Calgary has not looked

559
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:07.159
good even in winning. I mean
that game was a really ugly game we

560
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:12.119
had here. You have the Malique
Henry tweeting out ruptured his achilles. It's

561
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:14.599
going to be a long process.
I know, God wouldn't put me through

562
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:16.039
anything I couldn't handle. Thank you
for all the first I mean truly just

563
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:20.119
devastating. And then we talked the
injuries off the top as well for across

564
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:23.159
the board on this team. Yeah. Absolutely, this is just a killer

565
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:28.480
injury for the Stampeders. I think
that Mollie Cannry one of the only true

566
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:30.679
guys that could stretch the field for
this team, a guy that could take

567
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:35.320
us screen pass and go with the
distance with it. We saw him take

568
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:38.039
a slant route go to the distance
with it in this game, and honestly,

569
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:43.039
I think not having him going forward
is going to be such a detriment

570
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.599
to this Calgary offense. I mean, they have been the epitome. I

571
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:51.239
think Paul Applie said this on the
postgame show that they've been the epitome of

572
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:53.559
next man up in the CFL for
years. But at a certain point,

573
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:59.079
how much longer can you know,
create players out of nothing? And that's

574
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:01.119
what they've been able to do for
so many years. And I think another

575
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:06.320
thing with you say, losing a
veteran player like Derek Dennis and other leaders

576
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:08.559
that they had on this team this
offseason, I think they're starting to lose

577
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:13.920
that winning culture that they've had over
the years. It's a long established winning

578
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:17.519
culture there and Calgary, but they're
slowly starting to lose those veteran pieces that

579
00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:22.039
were, you know, part of
that twenty eighteen their last great Cup winning

580
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:24.480
team. So something to keep in
mind here with Calgary as they go forward

581
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:29.320
and the slow start to the season. Yeah, Mark here, Mark Stevens

582
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:31.119
and I think they had a cool
tweet out where they were I think now

583
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:35.719
the longest tenured kind of duo him
and I can't remember the other gentleman that

584
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:38.159
calls with Mark, but you know
when Lee Henry out here in Saint Peter's

585
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:42.480
at a jam. You know,
Beagleton, middlemost on six, Philip Pott

586
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:45.599
and certain to return. I just, yeah, what do you do here

587
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:47.159
at this point? Are you signing? Are you making trades? It feels

588
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:52.159
like the CFL season is so long. They have this many injuries right now,

589
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:54.480
right because you kind of got a
factor that nutrition in across the twenty

590
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:58.599
one weeks, and just I don't
really know what they're looking at going forward.

591
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:02.199
I mean, maybe they bring back
Kamar Jordan, a veteran guy that's

592
00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:05.960
still out there on the market.
Don't know what he's up to, but

593
00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:09.519
you know, I think that they're
probably gonna look for the answers from within.

594
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:13.480
I think Trey Odam's Dukes is going
to be a guy that gets a

595
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:15.679
lot more targets in that offense.
Already was playing a pretty big role,

596
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:20.719
but I think he might be their
number one targeted receiver going forward. Luther

597
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:23.000
Kunavanu a guy they're gonna lean on
a little bit more. It is showing

598
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:25.719
a lot of potential over the past
couple of years, so they're gonna need

599
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.559
guys to step up play bigger roles
in this receiving cars, at least until

600
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:34.880
Bagleton gets back. Because Bagleton,
I still believe it's a true number one

601
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.960
receiver in the CFL, and I
think he was showing that through the first

602
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:42.159
couple of games, which is unfortunate
why he got injured. And then did

603
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:45.480
you have any hot takes on I
was watching a lot of this the second

604
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:52.719
half of the Oh there we go
sorry thing for we had a like a

605
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:59.599
weird like the guy caught there was
a fumble, but they were interception where

606
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.159
you did you track any of this
with like the weird rules for the one

607
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:06.559
guy had it and fumbled it out
the interception thing. Are we talking about

608
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:12.159
the kickoff here or like the kickoff
that like was batted out of bounds but

609
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.559
the guy came down out of bounds
so they ruled it. Yeah, yeah

610
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:19.079
about Yeah. You know, honestly, I tweeted out. I was like,

611
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:22.760
sometimes there's just rules in this league
that are just very, very hard

612
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.639
to explain to people. And I
think that was what Dave Naylor was saying

613
00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:30.519
on our pregame show kickoff show to
the season, and I think that is

614
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.880
so true with the CFL. They
just need to, you know, dumb

615
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:37.519
down the rule. Buck a little
bit. I had no idea what some

616
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.920
of these rules even are because some
of these bizarre circumstances, like what that

617
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.239
was even a rule, Like I
rarely ever have that happened when I'm watching

618
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.920
like an NFL game or a college
football game or whatever. So I think

619
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:53.079
that just another example of I think
by the rule. They actually got that

620
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:57.440
call right, I believe, But
at the end of the day, I

621
00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:59.920
think it's just very confusing, and
I didn't know that was a rule.

622
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:04.440
Last notes I had here, like
they had kind of like a fan event

623
00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:07.119
before the game. I saw the
Great Cup trophy was there. They had

624
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:08.519
it on the base, which is
good. My name is actually on the

625
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:10.280
base. I don't know if you
were aware of it. With the Great

626
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:15.639
Cups in retrospect, I wanted to
put Rashmadonni's name on it, but they

627
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:19.400
wouldn't, like I had already sent
it in and then, oh god,

628
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.039
that would have been such a funny
joke to do, but I couldn't.

629
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:24.679
Like it was past the point of
return at that point, but I thought

630
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:28.199
that that was good the base was
there because it doesn't always travel with the

631
00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:30.960
base. But kind of sad where
you had the event here in Edmonton with

632
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:36.159
the dam and Allen right kind of
giving him the kudos, Edmonton losing and

633
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:38.239
then obviously Calgary here losing as well, kind of having their fan event.

634
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:42.960
They can't time these, right,
Yeah, Unfortunately they can't all do it

635
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:46.360
like BC's done it the last couple
of years with those great home openers.

636
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:52.079
So let's get over here at last
game, the game last night. This

637
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:54.880
was exciting and I watched every snap
of this one as well. Here going

638
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:59.519
in opposite, I had my dual
screen because we were watching and we had

639
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:06.000
the USF few Southern Southern Division playoffs
going up against Toronto Argos at Edmonton.

640
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:07.079
What did you make of this one? I have a lot. I think

641
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:10.719
we have a lot to talk about. I think the Argo has just looked

642
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:15.280
like the defending champs, Like they
look really really good out there. I

643
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:20.440
think they have balance on the offensive
side. I think Chad Kelly shows exactly

644
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:22.039
what you would want to see from
him. He's not perfect at this point,

645
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:24.639
had a couple of picks in this
one, but he made a lot

646
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:30.039
of big plays, used his legs
to extend plays, which is very valuable

647
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:32.760
thing in the CFL. When you
can you send more players than your offensive

648
00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:36.760
line can block. I think very
crucial to be able to get out of

649
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:43.800
those situations. So I'm very impressed
with Calgary Toronto start to the season here,

650
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:45.760
and I think A j. Will
Let looks like the breakout running back

651
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:50.119
of the CFL this season. This
looks like an absolute beast. Would not

652
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:53.000
want to meet that guy in a
back alley. And I think that defensively

653
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:58.440
they look as advertised. I mean, they're going against Edmonton and they played

654
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:00.800
against Hamilton's and Nie mcoffin last week, so we'll see what they do.

655
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:05.360
Um, you know, after their
second bye week next week. But at

656
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:07.480
the end of the day, I
think that um or no, no,

657
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:12.159
they're no, they're working, they're
they're they're playing on Monday. But um

658
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:14.639
but at the end of the day, I think that Toronto's looked very good,

659
00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:17.119
is what I'm saying. Yeah,
I tweeted this, I said,

660
00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:22.199
AJL is my spirit animal here,
This gentleman we did the last week we

661
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:23.760
had the wrestling, you know that
whatever he was doing, the spear on

662
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:28.199
the guy with the helmet, This
guy is a freak of nature. Went

663
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:30.480
for the hat trick here, three
rushing touchdowns and What was crazy to me

664
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:36.280
is because they talk about like how
powerfully is right oh big, He's walking

665
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:39.360
into the end zone untouched, like
he's just it doesn't even seem like a

666
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:43.920
challenge. I'm like, how are
you guys? How is Edmonton so bad

667
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:45.880
here? And in terms of stopping
this, like it just not even a

668
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:50.400
challenge. But I like this gentleman. He retweeted this work excited. But

669
00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:53.800
yeah, this is a pro pro
aj Alett podcast here. But I mean

670
00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:58.280
this guy is a superstar. I
think between Chad Kelly and him, I

671
00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:01.559
like having some of these notable faces
this year. We can have a discussion

672
00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:06.239
about that at some point. We
had the Dave Naylor tweet this week his

673
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:09.760
article about is Chad Kelly the most
important CFL player right now? What did

674
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:13.800
you make of that? And did
you I'm sure you saw Dames article because

675
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:17.320
it went everywhere. Well. I
think in terms of like potentially growing the

676
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:22.960
argonauts, you know, presence in
footprint, I think he is absolutely the

677
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:27.800
most important player in the CFO right
now. If he hits, which it

678
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:30.079
looks like he's gonna hit, I
think that, you know, would be

679
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:35.599
huge for that team because the argos, despite their really strong history winning the

680
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:39.480
most Great Cups and whatnot. They
haven't really had a great franchise quarterback that's

681
00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:44.000
been there for like a long time, so I think that you know,

682
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:46.199
they've had guys that have played there
for a handful of years. Ricky Ray

683
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:51.159
most recently won two Great Cups there, but he's more known I think for

684
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:53.280
his time in Edmonton, and a
lot of the guys are like that.

685
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:58.880
Damon Allen himself known for more up
playing at other spots in the league.

686
00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:05.000
So I think Toronto needs that superstar
franchise quarterback to be able to grow the

687
00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:07.480
fan base, be that marketing player
for them. And you know, if

688
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:10.320
he doesn't get a shot in the
NFL, that would be that would be

689
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.840
huge for them going forward, if
he's able to stay long term and continue

690
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:19.280
to play like he is right now. Because here's my issue with Chad Kelly

691
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:21.880
and I did forget I had this
funny one to pull up with the al

692
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:25.440
Justin commented, Aja says, I
don't shave so I can conserve energy for

693
00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:30.519
touchdowns. I thought that was good
with that. The thing with Chad is

694
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:35.719
I don't think Chad. I mean
same with Nathan, but I think Nathan

695
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:37.760
to me, kind of had the
heel turn after the season where he in

696
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.639
his little and it wasn't meant to
be even in kind of his post game

697
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:45.599
after he got signed over in Jacksonville, like never really wanted to be in

698
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:47.400
the CFL. It was kind of
an unwanted detour. And I'm kind of

699
00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:50.920
glad I'm in the NFL. That's
what I've always wanted to do. To

700
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:52.920
me, that was always kind of
an eighth the work heel turn with this,

701
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:57.079
I don't think Chad. I think
Chad like openly is like I don't

702
00:43:57.079 --> 00:43:59.360
want to be like I want to
be in the NFL. That's where I

703
00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:01.199
want to be. And I just
I don't know if you have Chad for

704
00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:05.559
the long term. Even if Chad
doesn't have prospects in the NFL. I

705
00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:07.519
think Chad thinks that he has prospects
in the NFL. So I don't know,

706
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.079
you know, and I know he's
pretty fresh. I think in the

707
00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:14.960
na other article they're talking with injuries
and him walking off teams and stuff.

708
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:16.800
He doesn't have a lot of wear
and tear on his body at his age.

709
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:20.559
But I just don't Chad doesn't strike
me as I'm going to be a

710
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:24.239
lifer in the CFL. Yeah,
no, I mean that's definitely a fair

711
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:29.360
point. But I think he also
mentioned that he's playing on a bleep contract,

712
00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:31.480
So I think that you know,
if he gets uh, you know,

713
00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:35.239
if he keeps playing like that's he's
gonna get you know, five hundred

714
00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:37.239
thousand dollars a year, which is
good, pretty good money. I think,

715
00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:39.719
like, um, you see guys
come up here and you know,

716
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:44.639
you know, stay long in the
CFL. So I mean, maybe not,

717
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:47.119
maybe doesn't stay long term in Toronto, but I think that at the

718
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:51.480
end of the day, just getting
the exposure of having a guy with his

719
00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:54.840
name attached to the Toronto Organats franchise
is going to create a little bit of

720
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:59.400
buzz around the team. It's just
so funny to me because there was rumors

721
00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:01.719
that they want to get Chad to
go to the USFL last year obviously with

722
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:06.199
his uncle and everyone of you,
Jim Kelly playing in that, and they

723
00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:08.880
I don't think they offered enough,
right the USFL doesn't XFL will pay up

724
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:12.840
a little bit for some quarterbacks,
but I think even this year there was

725
00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:15.599
like two hundred thousand was kind of
the top for one of the guys in

726
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:20.880
the XFL, and so to have
Chad, now, you know what could

727
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:22.199
have been here, you know,
ye're different or whatever, if they if

728
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:25.800
the USFL had ponied up. And
I think they really how they've leaned into

729
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:29.480
their lineage this year, the second
year, now that they're out of the

730
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:32.920
trademark lawsuits stuff. I really think
they could have led on Chad to kind

731
00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:36.840
of be a face of that franchise. And obviously they don't have that option

732
00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:39.159
now because he's with Toronto. So
just interesting, Yeah, that would be

733
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:43.400
interesting to see if he ever,
if he ever does you know, when

734
00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:45.719
he has an opportunity to be a
free agent, if the NFL doesn't work

735
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:50.639
out, if he does join one
of those leagues down So it's funny to

736
00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:53.280
me talking to Edmonton side here.
You know, if there was thirty two

737
00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:57.239
thousand people there last week for the
home or or two week whatever it was

738
00:45:57.280 --> 00:45:59.360
for the home open, They're like, I think there was thirty two people

739
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:01.239
there last night. I know the
report of attendance was, you know,

740
00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:05.800
twenty thousand whatever. Seats so bad, and that was I was surprised,

741
00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:10.760
like drastic drop off compared to the
home opener honestly, I'm I wasn't totally

742
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:14.840
shocked with it. I mean,
just the way they lost that home opener

743
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:17.480
after you know, you know,
trying to rebuild some good will within the

744
00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:21.039
fan base over the off season.
I mean, at the end of the

745
00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:24.159
day, just win a damn game
like that? Is that is the reality

746
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:29.559
of this situation. They need to
win games to get this fan base back.

747
00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:30.880
I mean, even if they do
do that, I mean, is

748
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:35.920
it even beyond getting fans back.
I think they need to have significant success

749
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:37.440
probably for them to do that.
But at the end of the day,

750
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:42.760
not totally shocked with the poor attendance
in Edmonton yesterday. Looks like there was

751
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:45.880
nobody there. Like you said,
yeah, I could say USFL I definitely

752
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:49.679
have more fans yesterday. I know, there's always always the jokes of the

753
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:52.400
US and all attendants Damon Allen and
attendance a bad night for that. We

754
00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:57.559
talked to the we talked the Jack
Kelly being the most important. It was

755
00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.559
so funny to me because you know, they're they're doing the game Cornelius and

756
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:04.320
the Elks, and they really got
to get going here, like what is

757
00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:07.039
this do or die for? Cornelius
comes out immediately throws in the interception,

758
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:09.440
get sacked, and it's like that's
the end of the drive, Like you

759
00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:13.880
know it is. He can't you
can't get going there. CJ. Sims

760
00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:15.800
was good. I mean that seemed
really like the only spark of life they

761
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:21.239
had for the Elks with any return
games. Um, I don't know.

762
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:23.519
I don't know what to make here. I guess we can time to Cornelius.

763
00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:28.199
Kyle Locksley coming in, getting one
snap, and then we move on

764
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:30.840
from him, and then we have
this Derek Derek dogie. How do you

765
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:36.920
say that? Doggie doogie? I
don't. I have no idea. I

766
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:39.079
have no idea. I'll have to
hear it said more times. Well,

767
00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:44.840
the good news is he is actually
a friend of the Mark Hast I didn't

768
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:46.159
realize this. I was going,
I was going on to tweet this.

769
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:49.320
I was last night. I go, I gotta go, I was going,

770
00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:52.039
you know, catching up on everything. I go, it's no wonder.

771
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:54.360
This guy's a boiler. But he
finally comes in at the end,

772
00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:59.639
we finally get Cornelius out. Do
you feel like Cornelius's time? Like we're

773
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:04.559
on a season now. I think
it's been beyond time to move on from

774
00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:07.320
Taylor Cornelius. I think, what
is he like four and twenty as a

775
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:10.800
starter in the CFL zero home wins. At this certain point you have to

776
00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:15.519
you have to move on, especially
when he hasn't shown any progression. It

777
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:17.280
was a better game from him in
this one. And it's worth noting that

778
00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:22.559
this game was close at halftime eighteen
seventeen. But the real killer that I

779
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:27.480
think the turning point of the game
first drive for Toronto. Toronto has it

780
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:30.239
or Edmonton as an opportunity to stop
them. They get a sack Jake Serezna,

781
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:34.400
but he gets flagged for I think
it was a face mask penalty.

782
00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:37.159
Toronto goes down and scores the touchdown
makes it a two possession game, and

783
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:40.559
it was really it from that point
and it was a blow up from there.

784
00:48:40.599 --> 00:48:45.480
And honestly, this kind of reminds
me of the Winnipeg Hamilton game for

785
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:46.960
the first game of the season,
where it's it looks, you know,

786
00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:52.239
much closer than it actually was.
This resin thing though, I remember that

787
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:54.920
he came on the show last year. I think they were doing they were

788
00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:59.840
honoring his family or the Edmonton was
doing something. He came on the show

789
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:02.199
he's a great guy. And they
said it wasn't even like, yeah it

790
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:05.880
was a face mask or like a
horse caller, But they said, it's

791
00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:08.559
it's more that Chad is such a
big guy trying to pull him down,

792
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:13.559
like he wasn't trying to go for
any penalty. It's like I, like

793
00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:16.000
Jack Kelly is a massive human being, Like I'm trying to pull him down,

794
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:21.639
and yeah, I just kind of
Max says it's daggy dagge. Uh.

795
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:24.599
Yeah, just that that any momentum
they had, like you said,

796
00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:30.400
was gone there and then Toronto goes
up again and just it felt like um

797
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:34.920
near the end of the game,
I tweeted out because you know that it

798
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:37.079
was like that last drive, Okay, Edmonton's gonna come in, They're gonna

799
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:40.440
get one more touchdown. The guy
fumbles it into the end zone articles you

800
00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:45.039
know, running back, and then
they in return it again and then Toronto

801
00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:47.320
gets it back. I tweeted Ey
said, God must hate the Edmonton elks,

802
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:50.519
Like I just I can't figure out
any other way about it. It

803
00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:54.840
seems like they can't. Uh,
it's unfathomable here how poor this team is.

804
00:49:55.960 --> 00:50:00.599
Honestly, I'm not one to believe
in curses or I'm not an overly

805
00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:04.079
spiritual guy or anything like that.
But at this point, it's getting very

806
00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:07.079
hard to deny that this is a
cursed team. Um, they haven't won

807
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:12.400
a game in three years, four
years right at this point. Um,

808
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:15.719
just I mean a home game of
that is. But just it's it's hard

809
00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:20.159
to explain how bad they are in
the most crucial moments of games. I

810
00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:22.440
feel like they fumble at the worst
times. They um, you know,

811
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:27.679
they give up big chunk runs at
the worst time. This team just cannot

812
00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.639
stop the run whatsoever. And we
saw that in this game. Again.

813
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:36.280
Yeah, I'm sure that was,
like you got gonna say the evident.

814
00:50:36.639 --> 00:50:39.039
El I did think it was funny, though. This tweet did make me

815
00:50:39.159 --> 00:50:44.119
LASTFLC really news tailgating the last time
the Ex won a home game, and

816
00:50:44.199 --> 00:50:47.400
it's the it's the Disciples year with
Jesus. I thought that was But I

817
00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:50.280
mean, I want to be honest
here, because I did teet. This

818
00:50:50.440 --> 00:50:52.000
was kind of my like my real
hey, I want to do all this.

819
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:57.199
We had the Everton Ex playing hangs
you know, in the back here

820
00:50:57.239 --> 00:50:59.800
and this is my summer season.
I do everything outside, but in the

821
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:02.880
video show everything else, like it
hangs there, it's too important of a

822
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:07.039
franchise. I saw Bob Irving tweet
out as well, a lot of people

823
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:12.039
here like Edmonton, like it's we
can't lose Edmonton here in the CFL.

824
00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:14.639
It's too it's too important. Like
what do you make of this just in

825
00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:19.599
terms of the legacy that Edmond Edmonton's
had even before I even breathe the CFL

826
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:22.519
anything, and now what they've come
to. It's really sad because I think

827
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:27.920
it's happened over a relatively short amount
of time, because I think in twenty

828
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.760
nineteen they really weren't that bad.
They were in the East Final, they

829
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:32.599
were a crossover team, and they
they lost to the Tiger Cats in the

830
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:37.559
East Final. But I just could
not have imagined how bad they were coming

831
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:42.440
back from the canceled twenty twenty season. And I think that, I mean,

832
00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:45.039
it's not good for any team in
the CFL, for any of the

833
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:50.360
teams to be bad for a continuous
period of time, because usually a tendant

834
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.639
suffers, and I think a lot
of the tenants is based on a team

835
00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:54.920
performance. For a lot of the
teams around the league. I mean,

836
00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:59.760
sure you have some you know,
great fan bases, like you know,

837
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:05.239
Hamilton usually supported the team pretty good
when the team was bad. From you

838
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:07.119
know, two thousand and three to
two thousand and eight, I believe was

839
00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:10.599
the that era. And I was
saying that in the group chat that the

840
00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:14.480
Elks are starting to remind me of
that era. The tire Cats just a

841
00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:19.480
hopeless organization, and I just really
feel for the fans out there that you

842
00:52:19.559 --> 00:52:22.440
know, they just they just need
to win soon. And it's I just

843
00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:27.239
don't see it happening this year,
honestly. Like even that where they had

844
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:30.280
where camp Phillips like having he caught
the long ball and then he thought he

845
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:34.599
was touched down and dropped it,
got the ball knocked out, but then

846
00:52:34.760 --> 00:52:37.599
he ended up recovering that. It
was like the Edmonton because that could have

847
00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:39.639
been a huge thing. Edmonton saves
a touchdown here, like we're going back

848
00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:43.480
the other way, Like he literally
just let go of the ball and was

849
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:45.639
able to recover his own. Like
it just felt like they could get absolutely

850
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:49.840
nothing going. What I don't get
is in the Kite Locksley, I think

851
00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:52.880
they said that maybe he got injured
on that fumbled snap and then that's why

852
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:58.159
he wasn't put back in. Trey
Ford wasn't dressed right, That's why they

853
00:52:58.199 --> 00:53:00.119
went to Daggy. I can't figure
out for the life of me why they

854
00:53:00.199 --> 00:53:06.960
don't like tray Ford. Yeah,
it's it really kind of pissed me off

855
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:10.119
how they handled this situation. And
honestly, to his credit, Gaggy,

856
00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:14.800
Um, you know, looked pretty
good in the action that you did see

857
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:17.199
besides that one pick six, but
at the end of the day, he

858
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:20.960
kind of jumped the line. We
didn't really. Um. You know,

859
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:23.960
you got guys like Kai Locksley and
tray Foard that have you know, worked

860
00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:28.079
their way up, They've paid their
dues. Tray Forward is dressed as a

861
00:53:28.159 --> 00:53:30.800
wide receiver. Kai Locksley addressed as
a wide receiver for this team. They've

862
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:36.360
they've worked hard for that opportunity and
to be passed up in that moment for

863
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:39.800
a guy that's never taken a CFL
regular season snap before, I mean,

864
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:45.320
it's very understandable why Kayle Locksley was
upset, and I don't know why Tray

865
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:47.920
Forward's not even dressed like I mean, you'd think just having a you know,

866
00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:52.039
a Canadian backup quarterback wouldn't hurt the
you know, ratio or anything like

867
00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:55.199
that, right, So, I
mean it's it's it's really hard to explain

868
00:53:55.320 --> 00:54:00.559
for me and their management of like
the short yardage situation, and um,

869
00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:05.199
they always have these tiny quarterbacks running
that, Like I think Cornelius should be

870
00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:07.960
the one running that for the Elks, like just naturally. But uh,

871
00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:12.119
at the end of the day,
I just I think Chris Jones has really

872
00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:15.840
really mismanaged this quarterback situation in Edmonton. I think that's gonna be his undoing.

873
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:21.639
Yeah. I can't imagine you sitting
here and being happy with us moving

874
00:54:21.719 --> 00:54:23.960
on and I think you you're gonna
get disgruntled this, Like you said,

875
00:54:24.039 --> 00:54:29.400
with the quarterbacks. We had Trey
on preseason because I'm like, if Cornelius

876
00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:31.519
goes down, Trey has got to
be the guy. Even he played good

877
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:34.960
last year, I know he got
hurt. He won in the preseason this

878
00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:37.840
year, and you know we that's
why, I mean, you know,

879
00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:40.280
and all credit you Jaredegi here.
I mean, I'm glad that he's getting

880
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:44.559
the opportunity. I just don't I
don't understand that. I don't get how

881
00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:49.920
um I it was Gino Lewis right. They had had the fumble in the

882
00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:53.920
end zone there with that? Any
other any other thoughts we had the sim

883
00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:59.280
Like I talked to Sim's getting the
kick returns that they said Edmonton hasn't had

884
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:02.599
one return a touchdown since twenty fifteen. Did I hear that correctly? I

885
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:06.960
didn't hear that step. But that's
that's pretty crazy if it's true. Honestly,

886
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:09.760
but Edmonton has had um, you
know, well very um. They're

887
00:55:09.880 --> 00:55:13.559
very much lacking in terms of the
return game over the past couple of years.

888
00:55:13.559 --> 00:55:16.079
And there's special teams in general is
another thing that's been very poor for

889
00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:21.639
that team. Well, let's get
out of here at the hour. Any

890
00:55:21.679 --> 00:55:22.599
other thoughts on this game? Do
you have any other note? Today?

891
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:27.519
We can do just a super quick
preview before we go on. H No,

892
00:55:27.719 --> 00:55:30.000
I think that's good for this game. I think we've beaten the Elks

893
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:34.039
up enough, I tell you.
I mean, you know, I love

894
00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:37.639
Dave and Morley, Scott and Victor
and everyone over there. I just this

895
00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:43.519
is a conundrum right now they need
to figure out coming up here Edmonton potentially

896
00:55:43.599 --> 00:55:47.719
maybe a bounce back game going you
know in Ottawa. Ottawa isn't necessarily great

897
00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:52.079
at home. I had the tweet
we still don't know what's going on with

898
00:55:53.599 --> 00:55:58.159
Missoli, So I don't know what
what do you what do you make of

899
00:55:59.440 --> 00:56:01.199
kind of what is Auto's game planner? I'm trying to pull up this tweet.

900
00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:06.199
Well, I just saw before we
went on here that Tyree Adams is

901
00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:09.440
going to be starting for for Audawa
on Friday, so that's worth noting.

902
00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:15.639
So it's gonna be probably Tyree Adams
versus Jared doogy so um or Daggie.

903
00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:20.960
So I'll be gonna get it down. But I think that you know,

904
00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:24.960
that's gonna be an interesting quarterback matchup. The Edmutson Ottawa games have been very

905
00:56:25.079 --> 00:56:30.000
dreadful to watch over the past couple
of years, so hopefully it's a somewhat

906
00:56:30.119 --> 00:56:32.800
entertaining game. At least it's a
little bit fresh with the quarterback match up

907
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:38.719
there, but obviously looking forward to
the other games a lot more. Yeah,

908
00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:42.840
here we have coming up Saturday.
I'll have the Saturday it's my birthday,

909
00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:45.320
Canada Day, have you Canada Day? Everyone on there. I'll have

910
00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:49.559
to watch this on delay on Sunday
because I'll be We're going to the Mariner

911
00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:52.400
game and I got USFL Championship.
I think it's a lot of football I

912
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:55.199
gotta watch here. But yeah,
Winne Baker going into aunchable. This game

913
00:56:55.480 --> 00:56:59.599
is exciting now because Montreal actually looks
good. I mean, I think if

914
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:00.960
you told me at the beginning of
the season, I'm like, Oh,

915
00:57:01.039 --> 00:57:06.400
Winnipeg's going to come in Winnipeg coming
off obviously they're embarrassing home loss. What

916
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:08.440
do you make of this one?
I think this is actually intriguing. Yeah,

917
00:57:08.480 --> 00:57:13.960
I'm really excited to see how Winnipeg
bounces back. I think that Montreal

918
00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:17.639
has looked very good against two backup
quarterbacks to begin the year, so I'm

919
00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:22.360
interested to see how that plays out. Montreal's defense has looked really good to

920
00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:24.480
begin the year. I think that
a lot of those guys were on the

921
00:57:24.599 --> 00:57:30.239
team last year that went into Winnipeg
and upset them. Obviously, offense looks

922
00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:32.840
a lot different, so that'll be
interesting to see how they match up against

923
00:57:34.119 --> 00:57:37.840
Winnipeg's defense. But as I mentioned
before, Winnipeg's defense not looking like the

924
00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:42.199
same unit that we've seen the past
couple of years. Yeah, we're here.

925
00:57:42.360 --> 00:57:45.360
I don't know if they factor in
the American holidays here, just a

926
00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:49.360
weird three day you know, three
day whatever. No Sunday game here,

927
00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:52.119
it's kind of weird. Yeah,
so I think because Canada Day lands on

928
00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:55.960
the weekend, the holiday is actually
a Monday for here in Canada. Yeah,

929
00:57:57.360 --> 00:58:00.400
there you go. That's what work
that And then this is is yeah,

930
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:01.280
the game of the week, game
of the week. You said you're

931
00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:06.880
going to try to get to this
one at BC at Toronto, Mike mitchell

932
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:08.920
Is said could be the Great Cup
preview very excited for this one. Oh

933
00:58:09.039 --> 00:58:12.880
yeah, I'm I'm really excited.
I think that, you know, the

934
00:58:12.960 --> 00:58:15.639
matchups on both sides the ball as
I talked about earlier, should be very

935
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:19.400
interesting. I think, Um,
you know, a guy that doesn't get

936
00:58:19.480 --> 00:58:22.840
enough credit for Toronto is Ryan Danwidie. I think he is actually a very

937
00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:24.519
very good coach. I think a
lot of people, you know, kind

938
00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:29.599
of underrate him because they've seen some
you know, scuffles on the sideline over

939
00:58:29.679 --> 00:58:30.760
his past couple of years, and
he's kind of a younger guy, so

940
00:58:30.840 --> 00:58:35.000
people don't give him the credit.
But I think in terms of offensive game

941
00:58:35.079 --> 00:58:38.639
planning that Argonauts have been one of
the most consistent offenses in the CFL over

942
00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:42.599
the past couple of years. And
you know, for BC, I think

943
00:58:42.639 --> 00:58:45.280
that Rick Campbell's really um, you
know, studied the ship, and I

944
00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:49.480
think he's had a couple of his
best coaching seasons here in BC over.

945
00:58:49.800 --> 00:58:52.639
You know, when you look at
his CFL coaching career in general, I

946
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:54.159
think, um, you know,
he's looked very good over the past couple

947
00:58:54.199 --> 00:58:59.199
of years. So I think the
coaches are something to note with this game,

948
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:01.519
and I'm really said for this matchup. Yeah, I like did what

949
00:59:01.800 --> 00:59:05.719
we had him on kind of the
CFL media day stuff here at the end

950
00:59:05.760 --> 00:59:08.000
of the last season. I thought
he was great. I had never obviously

951
00:59:08.079 --> 00:59:10.639
had the interview a lotted the head
coaches, so it's just kind of cool

952
00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:14.679
getting to sit down chat with him. And yeah, Rick, Rick's such

953
00:59:14.679 --> 00:59:19.159
a funny guy because he's he's very
quiet in interviews, very not whatever.

954
00:59:19.239 --> 00:59:22.000
But then I see all these and
Matt Baker and Nicker posts and all these

955
00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:24.800
post game they're celebrating in the locker
room and Rick screaming they're running around,

956
00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:28.119
So I like that. I like
seeing, you know, kind of one

957
00:59:28.159 --> 00:59:30.599
of the boys there. And Rick
strikes me as a tiny man as well

958
00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:36.199
here running around in the locker room. So Rick's from over here in Spokane,

959
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:38.360
so I certainly know all that with
you know Eastern and all that,

960
00:59:39.360 --> 00:59:43.920
Jason, we appreciate it. This
will be on Jason's channel as well if

961
00:59:43.960 --> 00:59:45.760
you liked. I don't know if
there's anyone even watched us on the other

962
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:50.119
stuff, but trying to stream across
kind of all the platforms today. Let

963
00:59:50.199 --> 00:59:52.440
me know if you like that.
Pat and I will be back tomorrow to

964
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:57.119
do the USFL playoffs recap, and
then obviously next week, I said at

965
00:59:57.159 --> 01:00:00.960
the top, flip flopping Jason,
I will be on the fourth Talking CFL,

966
01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:02.159
and then Pat and I will be
on the Monday show. Jason.

967
01:00:02.199 --> 01:00:06.840
Anything else from you before we get
out, Um, nope. Much for

968
01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:08.159
me. I think, um,
you know, I'm pretty good week in

969
01:00:08.280 --> 01:00:12.280
the CFL, the best one yet
in my opinion, and I'm excited for

970
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:15.840
a week four. Yeah. Check
and then Jason does kind of like his

971
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:19.000
week previews and check that out.
And then I do like your instant reaction

972
01:00:19.079 --> 01:00:22.119
kind of stuff as well. I
think that that's good kind of Camels.

973
01:00:22.199 --> 01:00:25.800
Indian Rome is burning here, what's
going on? So we appreciate that.

974
01:00:25.960 --> 01:00:30.440
I appreciate Jason. Everyone watching.
We'll see you guys next time. Fix
