WEBVTT 1 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.520 Well here we are back. Happy Marcuss Monday. I was just talking Jason 2 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.240 before we got on. Good weekend. I guess if you're a Commander's fan, 3 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.119 I don't know. I mean they still we took the Eagles here to 4 00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:47.840 overtime. I'll take that as win. We got the Bears coming up this 5 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.439 week. But you know, we can talk swift ties today if we want. 6 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:55.880 I think everyone's a little tired about what'll be talking some damn Canadian football 7 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.200 here, gentlemen, how are we doing? Evan back on the program, 8 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.479 Evan, how are you? Yeah, I'm doing well. I know I 9 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.599 missed last week unfortunately, but we're back now. Had a couple of you 10 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.840 know, good games this weekend. I actually saw a couple of teams, 11 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.680 you know, clinch playoff spots, which is always fun, always exciting. 12 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.920 So I'm happy to dive into that here. Yeah, the Mariners can no 13 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.120 longer break my heart. The fiercely eliminated. We're done. We're done, 14 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.120 They're out. It's cracking season all the time. We have a preseason against 15 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.280 and Night will be going to and then, like I said, Commanders Threason 16 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:26.599 and Night Football. I feel bullish on that right now. So that to 17 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.480 me, that's the end of the season. If we can't do that. 18 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.079 Jason, your bills, like you said, dice to fish here putting up 19 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.319 tremendous points. How are you feeling, Tiecats clinched ride as well, we're 20 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.840 officially playoff ound Yep. Great football weekend for me, and I mean, 21 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.319 you know, one thing I wanted to bring up to start was the passing 22 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.879 of Hall of Famer George Reid, who was one of the greatest CFL running 23 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:56.519 backs and figures around the Canadian Football League all time and honestly played his entire 24 00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.000 career for the rough Riders. Obviously, you know, me being a pretty 25 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.840 young person, I didn't get to see him play. But this guy, 26 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.959 just looking at his statistics, eleven time a thousand yard rusher in the Canadian 27 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.439 Football League, I ventured that's probably a CFL record, So, I mean, 28 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.439 just an incredible career for him, and he's one of the all time 29 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.960 greats. So sad to see him go and rest in power. Yeah, 30 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.199 I saw that come out. It was late last night, right, and 31 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.840 I saw Randy and everyone kind of put that out. See, I wanted 32 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:25.919 to make sure we talked about that off the top of the show, a 33 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:32.919 couple of other news items. Big Game obviously coming up this Friday in BC 34 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.400 whatever, Vancouver. I will be in attendance there at Dorothy and I we 35 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:38.960 have our airbnb and all that, so we will be there making the trek 36 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.120 up to BC plays for that game, leaving hopefully immediately after Dorothy school. 37 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.159 So I don't know if we'll be they're doing like a gravy bowl Thanksgiving. 38 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.719 I don't, you know, there's you weird. I don't know what you 39 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.199 Canadians do. You know? It's like we're celebrating the Thanksgiving in October. 40 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.240 But we'll be up there for that, so that'll be exciting. So if 41 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.879 you around, say hi, we'll be getting drinks afterwards. Evan excited to 42 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.199 get to go back at you or BC Place earlier this season. Yeah, 43 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.520 I mean, you know, it's a it's a really nice spot. I 44 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.240 think you'll enjoy it, and you know, I'm hoping that well, I've 45 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.479 been the BC Place a couple of times, but obviously, you know, 46 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:15.159 we'll cross Hamilton off the list, hoping to get to a couple more you 47 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.599 know, CFL venues, especially the ones you know that maybe feel a bit 48 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:21.120 more. I don't know if I want to use the word remote, but 49 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.840 like you know, you went to Regina for the Great Cup and you know, 50 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:25.039 Winnipeg. I feel like those would all be cool spots to visit. 51 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.000 So definitely on my list. I'm hoping to get up there at some point. 52 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.159 Jason Game of the Year thus far, I feel like stakes I don't 53 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.240 think could be higher to me. You know, and we'll talk, we'll 54 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.159 preview the games, but I think I don't I think BC needs that first 55 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.960 place in the West. Do you disagree, and the importance of that of 56 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.680 not having to go into Mosaic, Yeah, yeah, do you feel Yeah, 57 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.360 yeah, I definitely agree. I think the Lions definitely need to win 58 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.599 this game on Friday Night. I mean I take it as basically, you 59 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:58.199 know, a playoff game in and of itself, because i mean, like 60 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.960 you saw last year how difficult was even with Nathan Roke to go in there 61 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.000 and get a win at ig Field from playoff time. So I'm really excited 62 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.520 for this week's game. Yeah, we'll talk. Liients. You know, 63 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.639 it seems like they showed up this week. You know, we had Andrew 64 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.319 on the show, and I don't know, I like to kind of getting 65 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.079 his perspective, because I know we've been a little critical about you know, 66 00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:18.040 coach Rank and kind of the locker room and everything during the season, and 67 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:23.199 good to kind of see like how do they compartmentalized kind of wins and losses? 68 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.560 And so. Have you missed Andrew's interview on the Friday Show? The 69 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.839 other thing, this is tremendous news, I think. Yeah. To me, 70 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.360 I'll respect to carry Underwood and this Underwood in the Sunday Night football theme 71 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.279 song. But Green Day here announced Saturday. I got the email. I 72 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.800 was at the aw wrestling event, so I know they did it. I 73 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.240 think halftime, but the Hambleton game. I'll give my thoughts on this, 74 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.920 but I'll defer to YouTube first, since you actually are in the target demographic 75 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.360 where I am no longer in the eighteen thirty four target demo. Evan, 76 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.839 what do you make of this Green Day? I think this is tremendous. 77 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.800 Yeah. I mean, look, I'll say this much. You know, 78 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.120 I wouldn't consider myself to be a huge Green Day fan, but you know, 79 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.160 Green Day is one of those bands where it's like I feel like when 80 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.920 I was growing up, you know, they were always on the radio, 81 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.959 you know, I know several of their songs. Again, and I'm not 82 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.560 you know, a fan, I don't really listen to them regularly, but 83 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.600 there's no denying, you know, the impact that they've had on you know, 84 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.360 music across the US, and you know especially I mean if you look 85 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.720 at I mean, I think they peaked you know, back uh, you 86 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:26.480 know, two thousands, right, so maybe nineties. I'm not again, 87 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.319 this is even getting well. I mean, I'm at the very edge of 88 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.560 that eighteen to thirty four demographics, so you can't quote me on any of 89 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.160 this, but no, man, I mean, look, I'm definitely excited. 90 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.519 I think, you know, you combine this with Carrie Underwood, it's 91 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.759 a it's a very good showing. And you know, I know that there's 92 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.279 been you know, some backlash in recent years of you know, not having 93 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.399 you know, Canadian performers you know, at the at the games, but 94 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.199 I completely agree read. I think this is a massive get you know, 95 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.199 for the Gray Cup. And I was definitely surprised to see you know, 96 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.319 Green Day, you know, pop up during the announcement, which I think 97 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.360 happened at halftime of that Hamilton Calgary game. Yeah, and this is because 98 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.639 this is was his you know, and you're finely well, I don't even 99 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:11.040 you know, I kind of agree like that that's great because I'm just you're 100 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.000 trying to hit all different demos here, right, and people are tired of 101 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.920 the country, Like Jason, what do you make of this? I think 102 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:20.319 it's fantastic. Honestly, the Green Day personally is one of probably my top 103 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:24.319 five favorite bands, like ever. I mean, I always say, do 104 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.560 they even have a bad song? It's like they have just so many popular 105 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.279 songs, and you know, they were, you know, pretty relevant even 106 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.240 recently, so I think that, you know, it was a great get 107 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:40.360 for the CFL halftime show. It was funny. I was at the game 108 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.560 with my buddy and he was like, any guesses for the halftime show and 109 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.079 I was just randomly I was like, I don't know green Day, and 110 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.839 the end a few minutes later, I was announced as Green Day, So 111 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:54.399 that was pretty cool. But yeah, I think it's great because they're one 112 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.199 of like, you know, there's I can't think of many bands that are 113 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.000 as popular across a wide range demographics as Green Day. I know, my 114 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.480 dad even likes Green Day. All my siblings like Green Day, so I 115 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.759 mean, they're very popular across the wide age range, which is very important 116 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.759 for a halftime show like this. Yeah, I did see, and Evan 117 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:15.480 was talking anyway, And I love Bob. I love Bob Irving, friend 118 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.160 of the show. He's been on, you know, Green Days. An 119 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:21.839 American band. I don't the mishmash off the Georgia line and whatever the heck. 120 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:26.360 Country artist we had last year was definitely not a Canadian either, So 121 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.399 I think I think that that's okay to me. It's getting in it, 122 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.279 and you you brought up the point like your dad likes it. I went 123 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.879 to a Lesson Jake show a couple of weeks ago and similar age range. 124 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:38.680 They're nowhere near as obviously as popular, but you know, they've been doing 125 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:43.240 this now thirty years, and you're getting to the point where the people my 126 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.279 age and older are bringing their kids to the show, right, And so 127 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.040 it's almost like this weird circle of like we were seeing ten year olds mosh 128 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:53.639 pitting, and like the safest mosh pit in the world because it's a bunch 129 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.199 of forty five year old dads like kind of like with them helping it. 130 00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.000 So I think it's great. I mean, I think they're mega Superstar. 131 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.639 I think they have a CD coming out, so that kind of makes sense 132 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.079 that they're doing that. But you know, uh, you want to market 133 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.120 the CFL Gray Cup halftime show as a big deal. I mean this is 134 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.800 uh, you know, widely viewed in terms of like Canadian interest per year. 135 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.000 Right, even if you're not watching the CFL, You're going to watch 136 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.439 the Gray Cup. And so I think this is tremendous. Uh, you 137 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.959 know burned, right, you guys had Nickelback and Bieber and stuff. But 138 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.920 to me, like, I don't know green Day the longevity of it. 139 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.319 I think Nickelback probably burned hotter, but I think green Day has certainly burned 140 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.840 a lot longer than the nickel Back at Yeah, certainly, Jason. How 141 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.720 so Bieber, when did Bieber do it? And was that he at the 142 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.440 height of his power when Bieber was the Gray Cup show? Was that tremendous? 143 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.960 Yeah, that was a huge deal. That was the for the hundredth 144 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.399 Grat Cup in Toronto, So it was it was a huge deal in twenty 145 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.759 twelve and it was justin Bieber, Marianna's trench, Carlie Ray Jepson and I 146 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.080 think it was Gordon Lightfoot of ball people that was part of that as well. 147 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.000 So it was a big deal and they made you made it a big 148 00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.919 deal for that game at Roger Center. We'll well, we'll be there. 149 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.159 Yeah, maybe maybe they'll maybe they'll be a little let's see a little let's 150 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.720 put together a little media event here, let's get in with the Green Day. 151 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:11.320 Maybe we can do all that stuff. So here we go Week seventeen 152 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.039 here coming up. Obviously we have our wonderful CFL stats on here. Uh, 153 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.240 Jason, the Calgary Hamilton game, you were in attendance, we had 154 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.440 the announcements and kind of all that stuff. What did you make of that 155 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.799 Saturday night? Well, I mean, first of all, from the Calgary 156 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.039 perspective, I mean, this team just looks lifeless. Uh. I think 157 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.639 you could stick a fork in them, even though they're not mathematically you know, 158 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.960 eliminated yet because you know, Saskatchewan's just going on a skin of their 159 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.639 own. But I just don't see them getting you know, two or three 160 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.559 more wins the rest of the season that will be necessary for them to make 161 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.320 the playoffs. They just look like a team that's completely I said lifeless at 162 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.279 this point. And then from the Hamilton perspective. I thought that this was 163 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.120 the best I think I've seen the Tikats defense look this season, other than 164 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.440 maybe that game at BC. I thought they looked really, you know, 165 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:01.480 tremendous throughout this entire game. They really didn't give up very many big plays. 166 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.879 And on offense, it was kind of weird because they gave Powell the 167 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.200 quick hook and they brought in Matthew Schiltz, and Schiltz immediately comes in and 168 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.360 throws I think it was like a seventy yard touchdown to Tim White, and 169 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.080 that was really the turning point of the game because Calgary was up six nothing 170 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.879 at that point and then Hamilton was able to you know, even that score 171 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.360 up and didn't really look back from there. So I thought it was a 172 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.039 really strong game from the Hamilton perspective, even though they didn't win by a 173 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.399 whole bunch. Yeah, I mean, I think if you, I mean, 174 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.279 this is a typical Calgary fifteen, Like if you can score twenty plus 175 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:37.799 more points, like I think you're going to beat Calgary. They just haven't 176 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.759 proven. I was kind of reminded me of listening to the pregame for the 177 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.759 Jets Chiefs last night, where they're like the Jets are going to need to 178 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.360 be able to put up twenty five points plus to beat the Chiefs, and 179 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.759 they haven't proven that they've been able to do that. Look at the game 180 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.960 last night, I mean they weren't. They weren't able to do that. 181 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.519 So, yeah, Evans seen your boy here Shilts coming back in this way. 182 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.840 Did you make of Hamilton's Yeah, I mean, you know, this 183 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.679 was a very a very good outing by Hamiltons, and in a game that 184 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.639 you know, it was nice to see them sort of clinch you know, 185 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.440 playoffs at home. I think again, you know, we there was a 186 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.600 lot of a couple of weeks ago it seemed like, you know, this 187 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:13.440 might have not been possible, and we were very you know, hesitant to 188 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.440 kind of you know, lock in Hamilton as a playoff team. But again, 189 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.000 they've sort of, you know, really built things up, you know, 190 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.559 in these last couple of weeks here, you know, of the season 191 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.480 and now obviously you know, I mean that they look capable. I you 192 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.480 know, I we'll see how they you know, ride with them, you 193 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:31.679 know, some of the bigger teams in the playoffs, right, but they 194 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:37.559 certainly look capable. Really impressed to get Yeah, you know with with Schiltz, 195 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.440 I know you brought that up. Really impressed with his performance, you 196 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.720 know, him coming in two hundred and twenty five yards on eleven completions is 197 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.799 you know, pretty outstanding. You don't see that very often. I mean, 198 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.360 again, a lot of big playability. I'm sure that uh, you 199 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.399 know, seventy yard touchdown or whatever it was to Tim White helped out. 200 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.840 But yeah, definitely a nice performance by Hamilton all around. And then uh, 201 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.879 you know, Jason brought up the defense. You know, I know 202 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.240 we don't we don't talk a lot of defense on this show, but you 203 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.960 know, guys like jamir Thurman, will Sunderland, you know, they all 204 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.039 stood out. And then yeah, Calgary, I yeah, I have to 205 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.480 agree with everything that's already been said. You know, I feel like Calgary, 206 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:18.600 you know, even if they're not mathematically eliminated, I don't know how 207 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.080 you you know, view this as a playoff team. Every time you kind 208 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.759 of say that they have to win, you're you're pulling for them. They 209 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.840 just can't get the job done. So unfortunately, you know, it's been 210 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.159 one of those years for Calgary. Again, very very uncharacteristic for them since 211 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.000 during the playoffs every year, but it really just kind of has been one 212 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.200 of those years where you know, they're never really able to get over the 213 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.200 hump. And keep in mind, Calgary has flashed a lot of good things, 214 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.360 you know, even though I think we've been a bit critical at times. 215 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.320 You know, Calgary has you know, had their games where they looked 216 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.159 you know, complete, and they were able to you know, impress especially 217 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.840 on the offensive side of the ball, where things have been you know, 218 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.799 it feels like they've been really slow and conservative. But yeah, I mean 219 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.919 overall, you know, Calgary, we just you know that this was a 220 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.159 game where I thought they honestly had a chance. I thought maybe they could, 221 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.720 you know, surprise Hamilton's just because Hamilton's kind of been in their groove 222 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.120 and you know, maybe they were going to get a bit too comfortable. 223 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.159 But no, I mean they Hamilton stood tall and Calgary was just you know, 224 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.960 just a bit short. So you know that's it's too bad, but 225 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.159 uh, you know, life goes on. You know, I think it's 226 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.120 a time, you know that it really proves that the CFL is changing. 227 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.039 You know, if Calgary starting to uh you know, slow down a bit 228 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:31.799 and possibly be looking at you know, making some significant changes in the offseason, 229 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.799 Jason, in terms of you know, Shilts coming in here, and 230 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.879 obviously it's early Monday, we'll kind of figure out stuff this week, but 231 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.120 like, is that the game plan moving forward? What did you make of 232 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.279 that in terms of getting too the playoffs here, Well, they've had some 233 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.480 weird strategies the past couple of years with their quarterbacks. I mean remember last 234 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.840 year when they had at times they were playing Dane and Matthew Schiltz, like 235 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.879 in the same game when they were both healthy. So I mean we could 236 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.960 see that like a platoon situation where you know, Howel starts the game and 237 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.600 Schiltz comes in again, and then you know they kind of go back and 238 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.559 forth with that and kind of ride the hot hand. But I mean, 239 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.080 I think because Schiltz finished this game, he'll probably get the start next week. 240 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.759 But like I said, with the strategies that they've deployed in the past, 241 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.279 and you also have to bring up the potential for believe by Mitchell's return, 242 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.960 you know, that could throw a wrench in the whole thing. So 243 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.120 it should be very interesting to see, you know, you know, who's 244 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.639 going to be under center for the tie Cats in the coming weeks. Yeah, 245 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.679 I don't. I mean, we do this a lot like XFL. 246 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:33.360 We get the spring football, like, oh, we're gonna ride the hot 247 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.279 hand of the quarterback. I mean, Evan, did you ever see that 248 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.519 working like long term? You mean with Schiltz. Well, just like just 249 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.840 the concept of that. Like I said, Jason, I get what he's 250 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.039 saying, because it does seem like they've done that before. But like I 251 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.519 said, we've seen that in other leagues, Like, well, we're gonna 252 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.320 use I think you gotta ride with one. I don't think you can pull 253 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:54.679 out. Okay you had a bad drive, Okay, we gotta pull You 254 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.639 saw mac Joe get pulled yesterday. Like I just think you kind of got 255 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.759 to ride or die here. Yeah, yeah, you know, I'd have 256 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:01.480 to agree with that part of it. I mean, I think, you 257 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.240 know, at the quarterback position, you're looking for consistency, and if you're 258 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.279 swapping guys in and out of a game, you know all the time, 259 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.399 you know, no one's gonna really be able to, you know, put 260 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.039 things together in a complete manner like I know in college. You know, 261 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.440 one of the better examples of a two quarterback system was Sacramento State because their 262 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.519 team, you know, went to the playoffs and they had a very good 263 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.320 run at the FCS level last year with their two quarterbacks, Jake Dunaway and 264 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.720 Astro Hara. I believe in Dunaway is actually now, you know, with 265 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:33.519 the Ottawa Redblacks. So kind of funny how that all works out. But 266 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.000 my point being, you know, it's very rare to see a two quarterback 267 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.759 system, if that's what you want to call it. Uh, you know, 268 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.159 it's very rare to see that workout in my opinion, And I feel 269 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.519 like, you know, once once you have a guy in there, you 270 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.120 know who's who looks capable, you kind of just have to roll with that 271 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.480 for a bit, you know, bargaining setbacks. And I feel like if 272 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.919 you have a two quarterback system, it just creates a scenario where, you 273 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.720 know, it's kind of like you've got you know, two siblings fighting over 274 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.120 something. You know, it's it just kind of feels like there might be, 275 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.240 you know, might be a bit of a shift in power, because 276 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:07.960 again, quarterback is supposed to be a leader, right, It's a leadership 277 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:12.399 position. You're supposed to take accountability. And you know, if there's two 278 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.720 quarterbacks. It's kind of hard to you know, follow a certain one, 279 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.200 like you want to follow both, but then you don't know who's going to 280 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.480 be in. So again, it doesn't just affect the quarterback as well. 281 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.200 It also affects all the guys around him. You know, the receivers that 282 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.240 are catching the ball. You know that maybe one quarterback can run, so 283 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.039 you're gonna have more you know, option players or whatever. Again, there's 284 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.600 a lot of logistics to get go into that, but yeah, I feel 285 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:37.879 like most of the time, rolling with one quarterback is the right way to 286 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.559 go. So Jason, we're basically looking here. I was trying to look 287 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.559 at the schedule here coming up. But you know, so if we look 288 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.799 at the standings, right, tie Cats we gotta get. We want home 289 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:56.519 field advantage right in the semis against Alouettes coming up, they have I had 290 00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.879 here then, So Hamilton's going into Saskatchewan right Ottawa and the Montreal and then 291 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.440 the next week he got BC at home and then obviously Edmonton hosting and the 292 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:08.680 Alolettes. Any prediction there, do you think Hamilton's able to make up that 293 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:14.759 game on Montreal? Probably not, because I don't see the Red Blacks beating 294 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:18.400 the Alouettes at this point, given the poor effort that we saw this past 295 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:23.319 week, and so I think that Alottes will gonna win there. Hamilton's I'm 296 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.680 fifty fifty about whether or not they're gonna go into Saskatchwe and win, even 297 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:32.440 though Saskatchewe's looking very poor right now themselves. You know, that's been a 298 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.240 house of horrors for the tie Cats. I can tell you as a tie 299 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.240 Cats fan, I think they haven't won there in like seven years or something 300 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.200 like that, Like even the year in twenty nineteen where they went fifteen and 301 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.119 three. That was one of their losses that year. So I mean, 302 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:45.920 I don't know if they're going to get a win there, and then there'll 303 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.079 be a two game gap and that would basically be it from that point. 304 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:53.519 But you know, I do think I like their chances at home against BC. 305 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.759 I think, you know, given what we saw in that first match 306 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.519 against them, and then the last week of the season and they play, 307 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:04.079 you know what on the road against Montreal, so that will be an interesting 308 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:08.359 game if it means anything at that point. So I'm really excited to see 309 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:12.160 what happens the rest of the season. But you know, I think at 310 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.359 the end of the day, I don't see the Alouettes giving up that second 311 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.519 place spot to Hamilton. So let's so, and you're a lot more knowledgeable 312 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:23.079 about all these playoff seedings and standings, like so, you know, let's 313 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:26.759 crazy world here. BC shows up Friday, right, kicks the pants off 314 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.160 Winnipeg. Do they have to stay a game up on Winnipeg or like is 315 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.599 it because the tiebreaker? And I like, are we are we still having 316 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:36.559 to you know, like going into Hamilton's here and we've got the host calorie? 317 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:37.839 Like, what do you make a BC at the end of their schedule 318 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:42.000 if you are able to get the game up. Yeah, if if if 319 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:48.160 BC wins this weekend against Winnipeg, they'll have the tiebreaker and they'll be because 320 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:49.240 they have the same record right now, there'll be a game up, So 321 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.440 they would effectively have a little bit of you know, of a cushion there 322 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:59.319 to drop a game if they so happen to lose against Hamilton in a few 323 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:03.000 weeks for an example. So I think, like I said, that game 324 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:07.079 on Friday is absolutely huge. I think it decides basically everything, And I 325 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.480 mean it could have looked even better for BC. If Toronto was able to 326 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:14.319 hold on and beat Winnipeg on Friday night. But unfortunately for the Lions it 327 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:17.599 didn't happen, so they'll have to take care of business themselves. Yeah, 328 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:18.880 because I mean, if you're looking here, you got you know, like 329 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:23.160 I said, the Friday game, Hamilton, You're going into Hamilton's and then 330 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:29.160 hosting Calgary the kind of end up the year, Evan, I guess any 331 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.599 other thoughts we'll get to the other games or any other thoughts Calgary or Hamilton's 332 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:40.359 here, no Jason, anything else on this Hamilton's faithful where they were was 333 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.359 it was the hammer rockin. Yeah. It was a great crowd, I 334 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:48.000 felt like because Calgary is not necessarily a big draw, like you see, 335 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.079 like the fans really come out for the Toronto games, and you know that 336 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.240 the games like against the marquee opponent, like say like a Winnipeger or maybe 337 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.720 even a BC. But I think for it being a game against Calgary, 338 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.759 I thought the crowd was really excellent. I think it was around twenty three 339 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.480 thousand there on Saturday night, So I thought it was a great crowd and 340 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.319 a great atmosphere for that announcement for Green Days, the halftime show. All 341 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:17.039 right, so let's get in here. Let me get back over so Montreal 342 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:21.119 going into Ottawa. Here, we'll go Jason first on this while I get 343 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:23.519 it pulled up. Thoughts on this one, I don't have many thoughts on 344 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:27.200 this one because I didn't get a chance to really watch too much of this 345 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:33.079 game. My main takeaway would be that just the Red Blacks, just like 346 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.599 Calgary, they're they're very similar teams. They came out with no fight in 347 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:40.200 this one. Once again, it was twenty two to nothing entering the fourth 348 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.759 quarter. They had multiple turnovers in the red zone. They had a situation 349 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.279 where, you know, I think they were down by seven points at that 350 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.079 point of the game early in the second quarter, and they threw a pick 351 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.319 six to Mark Antoine de Qua, who was having an excellent season by the 352 00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.400 way, from Montreal. So, I mean, Red Blacks just a very 353 00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.799 disappointing effort for them. I thought that this game would be a lot closer 354 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.119 than it ended up being, but ultimately they didn't show up to play and 355 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.480 then Montreal. Nothing spectacular from them, but defense continues to be a big 356 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.319 story. Fajarda was solid and this one didn't turn the ball over William stand 357 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:19.519 back getting some good yardage and efficiency there. So that was good to see 358 00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:22.960 from them. But I think the big takeaway was Outawa just showing up flat 359 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:26.480 once again. Yeah, we had an Arbuckle appearance here as well, seven 360 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.599 of nine. Yeah, I guess so, I, like I said, 361 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.880 I didn't catch too much of the game, but uh, yeah, I 362 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:36.480 was kind of shocked when I looked at the box score and saw that he 363 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.039 got into some action because they were very, very reluctant to play him like 364 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.000 ever since that those first couple appearances at the beginning of the season. Yeah, 365 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.079 I don't know. I mean krum here, like we said, come 366 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:49.359 back down, they come back down to Earth. I mean, I certainly 367 00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:52.000 think he's played well enough to kind of carry the team next year, at 368 00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.680 least to kind of be in that contention. Evan thoughts on this. I 369 00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.200 know this is kind of the Saturday afternoon and they're kind of I think it 370 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.920 was even like early than that here on the on the West Coast. Yeah, 371 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:04.359 I watched. I watched a good chunk of this game, I think, 372 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.000 you know, first half and then a bit into the third quarter. 373 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.920 Yeah, this game to me felt like it was over pretty quickly. You 374 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.599 know, it was just clear that I mean, you know, Montreal kind 375 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.200 of came out and it don't you know, keep in mind it was slow, 376 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:21.880 but I just didn't really feel like, you know, Ottawa had the 377 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.759 juice in that game to get things done. But I will say a couple 378 00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:30.559 of notes. I was really impressed with the way Justin Crum spread the ball 379 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.000 around to his receivers. It almost reminded me of Vernon Adams and BC. 380 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.920 And you know, obviously he didn't have the artig he threw two picks. 381 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.359 Arbuckle came in after, you know whatever. But Ottawa I think had five 382 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.599 receivers with over four catches in that game, which I thought was very impressive, 383 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:49.039 you know, definitely getting a lot of guys worked in. And then 384 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.920 on the Montreal side, I know, what's his name, Austin Mack was 385 00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.119 out this game, so you had cold Speaker filling in. You know, 386 00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:02.680 three catches for sixty yards standback really impressed me in this game. Wasn't and 387 00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:07.640 you know, it wasn't a terribly you know, exciting performance, I guess, 388 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.079 but six and a half yards per carrying a touchdown is extremely respectable. 389 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:12.920 Just felt like you know, he was kind of a workhorse and you know, 390 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:17.279 really nice to see him again kind of you know, progressed through the 391 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:21.440 course of the season because we we had talked about at the beginning of the 392 00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:25.599 season that you know, he was a bit slow with the injury and everything, 393 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.119 and you know, coming off that and then you know, he this 394 00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:30.799 was kind of, I think, a big year for him. And you 395 00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.440 know, he's you know now in these last couple of weeks, seems like 396 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.440 you know, he's trying, he's finding his way, i should say, 397 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.200 and you know he was doing that a bit, you know, a couple 398 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.440 of weeks ago too, here and there that there was definitely signs things were 399 00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.960 going in the right direction. But the one you know, really interesting takeaway 400 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.079 that I had from this game, and you know this is kind of a 401 00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.279 bit random, but you know, there was a play in this game that 402 00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.720 really got some you know traction on Twitter, and I'm talking like it kind 403 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.799 of went viral and it was I believe justin yes, the onside punt, 404 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.480 and I had no idea, you know, what was going on or why 405 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.559 you know that was important, like I thought, you know, to me, 406 00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:14.960 I thought the cool play of the game was when I think Montreal missed 407 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.440 a field goal and then Ottawa returned it and then the ball went out of 408 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.559 you know, Ottawa's hands right back into I believe it was Siba Sue maybe 409 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.400 he had the ball, and then it was like this really weird turnover. 410 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:29.640 But yeah, the onside punt gained a lad of traction. You know, 411 00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:30.880 everyone was like, you know, why would you do that? You know, 412 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.440 it doesn't make any sense. And then I think it was Trey Watson 413 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:37.759 was in the XFL right now, he used to put with Montreal. He 414 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:40.480 said, man, like, you wouldn't understand the CFL unless you were reading 415 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:42.319 the rule book during the game, you know what I mean. And yeah, 416 00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:45.319 it was just one of those things where I don't know. I was 417 00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:47.599 like scratching my head during the game, like what is he doing? And 418 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:48.559 I went on Twitter and I'm like, geez, like this is getting a 419 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.160 lot of a lot of attention for some you know, random CFL play on 420 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.960 a Saturday, but hey, I mean more publicity for the league, you 421 00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.240 know. And it was definitely talked about, you know, afterwards for a 422 00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.519 bit, so that I guess was nice to see. But was this I 423 00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.480 mean, so this is on perfect. Yeah, very odd here. Yeah, 424 00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.960 I mean I think it's fine as a novelty, like you know, 425 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:17.400 happens once. I've never seen this before. I thought it had to travel 426 00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:22.200 a certain amount of yards, but I guess not. I mean he tried 427 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.279 to like Antwi himself tried this play earlier in the year against BC. It 428 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.599 backfired on him. I think he uh, it was a bumble and it 429 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.839 ultimately cost the Alouettes in that game. But yeah, I think it's fine 430 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:37.720 for like a one time thing. But if this becomes a thing that people 431 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.440 try, I think it makes the look the league look bad. I think 432 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.480 ultimately at the end of the day, it looks really silly. I feel 433 00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:48.759 like and they would have to put some kind of amendment. But I think 434 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.079 if it's just this one time, I think it's it's fine. I just 435 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.680 don't get so we're second in eighteen here. I just don't understand, Like, 436 00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:59.880 what is the purpose of this. It looks more like an accident than 437 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.279 anything else. Yeah, for some reason, I don't know why, but 438 00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:06.200 it resets the down, so we got a first down into that, Like, 439 00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:10.039 like, it doesn't make sense to me. I think it should be 440 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:14.000 because apparently the rule is as long as you kick it behind the line of 441 00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.559 scrimmage and it crosses the line of scrimmage and you recover it bond beyond the 442 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.720 line of scrimmage, it's a first down, but I think it should be 443 00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.319 you know, it has to be beyond the first down market. I think 444 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:26.039 that makes more sense to me. But I mean, at the end of 445 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:26.960 the day, like I said, I don't think we're gonna see this on 446 00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.480 a regular basis, and if it does, I think the CFL will have 447 00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:33.200 to do something about it. So I'm taking it back. I tweeted last 448 00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.319 night during the Chiefs game, Hey, I agree people talking CFL rules better 449 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:40.960 than the NFL and all that stuff, because he got my home serious like 450 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:42.559 that. I take all that back. I take all that back that this 451 00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:47.000 is a legal forward play. Then they were able to reset that. Evan, 452 00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:51.000 this is absurd. Yeah, I mean, and I again, I 453 00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:53.039 didn't realize, like until I, you know, started doing some research. 454 00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:56.119 I was like, you know, why would he do that? And I 455 00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:59.200 realized, you know, you can get an automatic first down doing that. 456 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:03.440 But I will say, extremely risky play, Like I'm surprised, you know, 457 00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.039 it makes me, well, I shouldn't say, it makes me happy, 458 00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:07.599 but at least makes me feel a bit better knowing that you know, 459 00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.880 someone has tried this before and lost the football, because the reality is like 460 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.240 it looks like, I mean, you know, you're taking a huge risk, 461 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.359 you know, letting the ball out of your hands and having it roll, 462 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.359 even just for a couple of yards, there's any defenders in that area, 463 00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:22.440 someone could fall on it, and you know it's a turnover. You 464 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.039 lost the fumble essentially, So yeah, I agree with Jason. It's like 465 00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.880 it's cool, you know, for maybe one time, but like if people 466 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:32.680 think that this is like a new trick that's gonna work, you know, 467 00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:36.480 every time you've got a long second down, I think you might be sorely 468 00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:38.759 mistaken. I hope, Well I don't hope, but I almost. It's 469 00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:44.079 like it's one of those things where you know, maybe maybe we will see 470 00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:45.880 it play out where a team you know, unfortunately you know, loses the 471 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:51.480 football and gives up you know, good field position of the other team just 472 00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:53.720 to really you know, bring the point home and to learn a lesson because 473 00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:56.920 I don't know, that's like, that's got to be one of the weirdest 474 00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.559 things ever. Like in I've ever seen in any level of football, not 475 00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.880 even like you know just NFL or you know, high level Pro Bowl, 476 00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:08.559 but you know college even like high school. I mean that's like that feels 477 00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:14.640 like something that would happen like at the high school level to miss uh if 478 00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:18.680 he Haddson Nielsen on the college why is he doing? Why is he doing? 479 00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:22.599 Okay, that's crazy, all right? Anything else on this one, 480 00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:26.359 I mean you would think of anything that that would be Bob Dyce would be 481 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:29.599 died on that up not Montreal. You know you think Bobby diyas the special 482 00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:30.759 teams guy, would be doing that. Jason. Anything else on this one, 483 00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:33.920 Yeah, I guess I'll give a couple of shot outs for each team. 484 00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.240 So from Montreal. Like I said, William stand back, It's good 485 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.720 to see him playing well. Reggie Stubblefield, I think he's been a really 486 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.880 good addition for the back end for the Alouettes. He had eight tackles, 487 00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.839 two sacks, and the interception in this game, so really filled the stat 488 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:53.119 sheet. Mark Antoine de quap excellent season, pick six in this one. 489 00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:57.720 And then for the Red Blacks up Raylan Addison had his best game in a 490 00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:03.119 long time, seven matches for ninety four yards and then clay On Lang defensive 491 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:06.519 tackle, who I used to think was one of the best Canadian players in 492 00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:08.759 the CFL, but it's went quite the last couple of years. He had 493 00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:12.720 a big game in this one for a couple of sacks. And then I 494 00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:15.160 guess I was looking ahead here. Yeah, we were talking before we at 495 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:21.279 Montreal going, uh where is it Ottowa coming into Montreal doing these home at 496 00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:25.559 home again. It really feels like set up here for outlets to take a 497 00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:29.400 second here in the East. Jason, how do you feel tie cats traveling 498 00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:34.279 in and will you be making the journey with your boys for semis? Oh 499 00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:38.000 the Semis? No, No, I probably will not be going to Montreal, 500 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:41.440 but you know i'd love too. I planned to make it there one 501 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:45.559 day. That's one of the stadiums I haven't been to, along with all 502 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:48.839 the other Western ones, but I think, yeah, at the end of 503 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.960 the day, I probably won't end up traveling to that one. It's it's 504 00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:56.559 interesting because basically we're gonna have almost a repeat of last year's playoffs. It 505 00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.400 looks like because I think Montreal's gonna hold on the second, so it's gonna 506 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.680 be Hamilton traveling to Montreal. The only thing different this year. It looks 507 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.240 like saskatch one's gonna make it. But yeah, I think BC's probably gonna 508 00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.680 finish second. If if they lose this game on Friday, they'll probably finish 509 00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:15.160 second. So I mean, yeah, it looks like deja vu for for 510 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.400 CFL fans. Well, and that's way I mean, and I've said this, 511 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:19.160 it mays has to get on here, but you know, yeah, 512 00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:23.160 swap out Saskatchewe for Calgary if the BC's in second place, so you know, 513 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:27.079 host them at host them in Vancouver and then traveling to Winnipeg and that 514 00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:32.799 that is to me, it gets terrifying on that going here, h BC 515 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:36.319 hosting Saskatchewan. I got a little close at the end, but I feel 516 00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:37.640 like some of this was we took the foot off the gas in terms of 517 00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.559 defensive stuff. Here, Evan, we'll talk go to you first. Yeah, 518 00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:45.960 you know, I didn't get to watch a ton of this game. 519 00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:51.279 I mean I watched a bit you know here and there, but uh yeah, 520 00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:53.799 I mean once again, just another you know, offensive clinic from BC. 521 00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:59.079 Again. The defense, you know, they they it got a bit 522 00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.319 close there, you know, Saskatchewan. I think at fifteen points in the 523 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.759 fourth quarter, so talk about a rally. But you know, I mean 524 00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:10.279 again at offense is just so it's so lethal, you know, so potent, 525 00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:15.559 like I mean Vernon Adams, like it's almost like if he doesn't throw 526 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.559 for more than four hundred yards in a game, it's a disappointment. Now, 527 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:22.440 and that's a that's a crazy number. I know it's CFL whatever, 528 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.119 maybe it's more of a passing league, but like man, I meant every 529 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:27.720 game, it just I think he's over four thousand now, if I'm not 530 00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:32.640 mistaken, I think he hit that in this game. So you know, 531 00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:36.319 Vernon again continues to be oppressive. Twenty seven to thirty six, four fifty 532 00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:40.759 eight, three touchdowns. You know. The run game, you know for 533 00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:44.759 BC is still a bit slow. That's something where you know, we've talked 534 00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:47.279 about this before and I'm not going to touch on it too much year, 535 00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:49.640 but maybe one of those things you want to lean into a bit more before 536 00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.359 the playoffs, just to be safe, you know, just to make sure 537 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:56.160 that you have everything you know, where you want it before you go and 538 00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:00.640 take on you know, Winnipeg wherever that is again, whether it's in BC 539 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:06.200 or you know at at ig Field again that we crazy how you know this 540 00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.200 is all unfolding now when we were talking about that being one of the biggest 541 00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:12.480 scenarios of the season like two months ago. But anyway, that that's a 542 00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:15.119 separate story. Yeah. And then you know, the receivers for BC, 543 00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:19.279 I mean, do I even need to talk about them anymore? Hollands Hatcher, 544 00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:22.400 I mean, every everybody you know gets a nice piece here in that 545 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:27.079 offense, especially Hatcher in this game, you know, just had an absolutely 546 00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:32.559 outstanding performance. And then you know, for Saskatchewan, I don't know, 547 00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:36.880 I feel like, you know, I feel like they've had a lot of 548 00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.359 games where they've lost and their offense continues to impress me, but it just 549 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:44.519 comes down to their own defense and you know, some turnovers here and there, 550 00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:46.400 and you know, it just it seems like, you know, I 551 00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:51.640 mean, Dola Gala through for four hundred and nine yards but did not have 552 00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:53.960 a passing touchdown. I mean, that's that's fascinating to me, but not 553 00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:58.319 necessarily for the right reason. So and again, their run game, I 554 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:00.519 mean, you know, I think we've discussed this before too, but but 555 00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.920 their run game might even need some more work than Bcason in certain areas I 556 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.920 just don't even know. You know, Yes, BC and Saskatchewan have both 557 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:10.799 struggled at times running the football, but I feel like BC, at least 558 00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:14.119 with my Zell, you know, they have a bit more of a higher 559 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:16.440 ceiling there, whereas I look at Saskatchewan and I'm like, I don't know, 560 00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:20.960 you know, so that that's tough. But then I mean they they 561 00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:25.880 had too you know. Interestingly, they BC only had one you know, 562 00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:30.759 one hundred plus yard receiver and that was key On Hatcher, but Saskatchewan had 563 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.720 two of them and Keyan Shaffer Baker and uh Jared Starns, who you know, 564 00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:37.599 I've talked about Jared Sterns at nauseam being you know, one of my 565 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:39.880 you know, favorite players. He was one of my favorite players at the 566 00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:43.640 college level, and I've been very pleased with you know what he's been able 567 00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:45.599 to do, you know, coming into the CFL. He signed with Saskatchewan 568 00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:47.799 I think in July, so, you know, middle of the season type 569 00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:51.720 thing, and has come in and has really you know, carved out a 570 00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:54.039 role for himself there. But yeah, ultimately, you know, this was 571 00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:59.079 a game I expected BC to win. You know, their offense continues to, 572 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:01.319 uh, you know, really impressed me. You know, one of 573 00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:06.759 the more I think exciting you know offenses to watch in the entire league. 574 00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:08.320 And I say that, you know, even with all the teams like Toronto 575 00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:12.400 and Winnipeg, you know who go out there and you know, sling it 576 00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.280 every weekend. I mean I've seen BC you know live you know now and 577 00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:19.280 back to back seasons at BC plays and both times, I mean the story 578 00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.760 was their offense. You know, first it was with Nathan Rourke. Second 579 00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:24.920 time it was with of course Vernon Adams, who's there now. But yeah, 580 00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:29.880 I mean you know that it was a pretty again just about what I 581 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:31.440 expected, you know, a couple of things that could have been better, 582 00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:36.320 but BC gets to win and you know they carry that momentum into the big 583 00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:39.199 game that you're going to read. Yeah you're talking here, Yeah, Vernon 584 00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:43.199 and if this is you know, we can never tell with the CFL that 585 00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:46.559 we have four thousand over four thousand yards now for the season. Tremendous for 586 00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:52.599 that. Just a couple thoughts. And I want to get to Jason right 587 00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:54.960 Rhymes was back right, he had been out, so that was good to 588 00:34:55.000 --> 00:35:00.199 see Vernon here, you know, crazy for a fifty eight but giving up 589 00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:04.119 like, where are the Donut boys? Are you giving it four hundred nine 590 00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:06.360 yards? Did Jake Dalla Galla? I mean, Jason, what do you 591 00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:08.920 like you can't give You got Winnipeg coming in. You can't be giving it 592 00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:14.360 four hundred plus yards to Sacatch one. Uh, I think that's misleading. 593 00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.159 I think I think they gave up a lot of those yards. And because 594 00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:22.400 this game, Yeah, this game was I think a three touchdown lead in 595 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.159 the fourth quarter, and that's kind of when I stopped watching the game because 596 00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:28.559 it was, you know, it was just too far to reach at that 597 00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:30.679 point. But then I looked at the final score and Sascatch one scored two 598 00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:35.039 touchdowns in the final five minutes, So I think that's where they got a 599 00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:38.079 lot of those yards. Like Evan said, a sascatchwe can get much going 600 00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:42.760 on the ground. So I think that BC's defense actually played very well in 601 00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:45.519 this game. They were pretty relentless early in the game, and on the 602 00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:49.519 other side of the ball, I thought that, you know, uh, 603 00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:53.559 BC's offense was just clicking on all cylinders. So I think they're kind of 604 00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:58.280 ramping up towards this matchup. They had a couple of poor performances a few 605 00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:00.960 weeks ago, as we alluded to know the game against Hamilton, you know, 606 00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:04.960 the game against Ottawa were they almost lost. But now it feels like 607 00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:07.760 they're back in the swing of things and ready for that big matchup against Winnipeg. 608 00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:09.679 And I think that, you know, if they play like this, 609 00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:14.840 they can beat any team in the CFL and could go on a great Cup 610 00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.360 run. Here. I mean, you gotta you gotta play sixty minutes here, 611 00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:21.400 Jason. I don't like giving up garbage time TVs. To Jake Della 612 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:27.800 galla here. Yeah, in terms of yeah, you know, rushing here. 613 00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:29.800 And I understand, like, well, you know, we have a 614 00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:32.079 million receivers and we don't need to do that. But Evan talked about this 615 00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:37.159 Jason, like, you know, we're giving my Zell thirty Like I don't 616 00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:39.159 know, I feel like this is a tail as all as time we got. 617 00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:43.639 This is you know, snazzy West Coast team. We're gonna go into 618 00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:45.719 Manitoba here and we're gonna get crushed. They're gonna pound the rock in the 619 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.719 snow and then the ice. Like if have I foreseen the future already? 620 00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:53.760 Yeah, I mean that seems like the biggest difference between BC and Toronto and 621 00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:57.840 Winnipeg right now, it seems like, you know, Toronto Winnipeg, they 622 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.280 have these big, imposing running backs and Alba and Olette and Andrew Harris. 623 00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:05.440 I'll have been throw in there for Toronto, whereas you know, BC, 624 00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:07.159 I believe, like I would have to check, but a few weeks ago 625 00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:09.840 they were dead last and rushing, and I don't think that's changed. So 626 00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:14.199 I think, you know, they're much more of a finesse team and that 627 00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:17.199 makes it all the more important for them to get that number one seed and 628 00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:22.199 host the West Final. Evan, in terms of our boy Vernon here clean 629 00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:27.039 game, three touchdowns, like we've talked about him, you know, tremendous 630 00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:30.119 season, Like is there a chance that he's in the MLP discussion? I 631 00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:34.239 know Farhan and Taylor they like pumping him up, but you know we keep 632 00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:36.880 talking. Obviously check Kelly, but now he's not going to be playing, 633 00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:39.360 Like what do you make of that with Vernon? I think he's in the 634 00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:43.800 discussion, but to say that he has a good chance of winning is a 635 00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:46.760 bit of a reach. And you know, I think that's more of the 636 00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:50.480 emergence. Well, I mean well, let me put it this way, 637 00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:52.960 Zach Colaros. We all know who has been established for a long time. 638 00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:59.639 Chad Kelly is probably the most likely option to win MP. I believe just 639 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.519 even that you know, Toronto, you know they've got we've got like you 640 00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:07.559 know what, a month left of regular season play and you know they can 641 00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.760 pretty much rest him. Maybe that does affect, you know, his chances 642 00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:14.639 for MP. I don't know, but you know, Vernon, I feel 643 00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:16.400 like, yeah, I mean, Vernon should definitely be in the discussion. 644 00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:21.519 Absolutely, it's just a matter of you know what we'll see. I think, 645 00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:24.960 you know, my only issue with Vernon, and this may be the 646 00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:28.800 reason that you know he's discussed but he doesn't win, it is again, 647 00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:31.000 you know, yes, he throws the ball a lot. They've been very 648 00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:36.159 efficient on offense. He has these games four hundred yards, three touchdowns, 649 00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:38.320 no problems. But you know, when he has an off day, it 650 00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:40.800 tends to be pretty off. You know. We saw that a couple of 651 00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:45.480 times, like against Toronto where he had you know, I don't even know 652 00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:51.400 how many shicks. Yeah, it was agnumber. And even against Ottawa, 653 00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:53.199 you know, we we talked about that. I guess that was two weeks 654 00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:57.039 ago now, because I wasn't here last week, but you know, it 655 00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:00.199 was just like one interception, okay, fine, and then you just kind 656 00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:01.920 of start, you know, the turnover start piling up, and you know, 657 00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:06.679 like that's the only that's the only tough thing. Like if you look 658 00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:10.280 at if you look at I mean, it's I don't know if those are 659 00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:15.440 all well, you know, it's I don't know if that's Vernon's stat line 660 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:19.320 there, but like yeah, yeah, so I know, so yeah. 661 00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.519 So here I've got some Vernon's. Vernon's twenty eight sixteen four thousand five yards. 662 00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:25.880 We got Chack Kelly here at twenty one and eleven, uh, you 663 00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:30.079 know, three thirty three hundred. That was thirty four hundred yards obviously playing 664 00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:32.119 you know, he was hurting the game playing. You didn't, didn't play 665 00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:37.599 whatever. And then Clario's really clean here thirty and fourteen, thirty seven hundred 666 00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:38.960 yards. I mean, if Vernon doesn't have that Toronto game, I think 667 00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.760 he's really more in contention here. I mean, Jason, like, I 668 00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.000 think Clario's head and shoulder, not head and shoulders. But I mean there's 669 00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:47.159 clearly a line there. But is it what what do you make of this. 670 00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:52.239 Well, it's funny. We were talking last week on the show in 671 00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:54.519 Case you missed It, Evan about you know, whether or not Vernon still 672 00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:58.559 had a chance in the MLP race, and I actually said no, But 673 00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:02.320 now he has a game this and if they can win this week against BCS, 674 00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:07.119 it's gonna be very interesting because if they finished first in the West and 675 00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:09.960 Burning plays excellent from this point to the end of the season, I think 676 00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:15.119 he definitely has a shot to win this award because where are you play in 677 00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:17.679 the standings always seems like it has a role. It plays a role in 678 00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.039 who wins these awards. And I mean a couple of weeks ago, I 679 00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:24.400 would have said Kelly would win it, but I think because of the you 680 00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:29.800 know, the statistical difference because of all the missed games, and even before 681 00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:32.440 that, you know, Clariss's numbers were better than Kelly. So I think 682 00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:35.920 at the end of the day, you know, Clariss is probably still gonna 683 00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:37.760 win it, but there still is a chance for Burning to get back into 684 00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:43.039 it because of these big games coming up. I just to me, that's 685 00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:45.119 like that's the story, you know, like we've had this with Zach and 686 00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:49.360 Vernon and he was with Montreal and then he got trading mid season. He's 687 00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:51.679 doing all that time. If you guys hadn't listened to the interview when we 688 00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:54.199 have burnon On, I guess it was preseason this year is talking about like 689 00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:58.199 you know, and I had my I was paying rent in Montreal, and 690 00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:00.440 I was paying rent in Vancouver and I still have my house in Tacoma, 691 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:04.480 and I'm trying to learn this rule book, like you know it have the 692 00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:07.480 whole season unders belt here, come back and really kick ass. I think 693 00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:10.159 it's a pretty exciting thing, especially for someone that's been in the CFL as 694 00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:13.960 long as Vernon has. I mean, I know, like emotion doesn't go 695 00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:15.360 into you know, you gotta look at the stats and everything here. But 696 00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:20.280 it's an interesting discussion. Evan, any other thoughts on that. Yeah, 697 00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:22.639 I mean, look again, I wouldn't rule Vernon out. And the reality 698 00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:27.559 is, you know, I mean if if Chad Kelly continues to rest, 699 00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:29.920 you know, that might push him out. I mean, now that we're 700 00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:31.039 looking at the numbers, you know, if we want to if we want 701 00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:35.239 to base off that, I mean, Claro's definitely has the best ratio. 702 00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:37.719 There's no surprise there when it comes to you know, touchdowns, interceptions, 703 00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:42.920 everything like that. But you know, yeah, Vernon, Like the thing 704 00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:45.679 is again it goes back to this upcoming game, and you know, if 705 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:51.519 Vernon can you know, if Vernon has a couple like you know that Saskatchewan 706 00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:54.119 stat line that we just looked at twenty seven thirty six, four fifty eight 707 00:41:54.199 --> 00:41:58.719 three touchdowns, if he can keep doing that for you know, just another 708 00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:02.079 a couple more weeks or whatever, yeah, then I'd feel like, you 709 00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:06.079 know, he honestly would have a good chance. You know, I still 710 00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:08.199 find it hard to say that, you know, he would be the front 711 00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:12.760 runner, but like there's a lot there. You know that there's really something 712 00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:15.440 there, and you know, there's no denying that Vernon has been, you 713 00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:19.760 know, one of the most impressive quarterbacks. Again. Yes, he's had 714 00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:22.960 some turnovers, he's had some you know, mental errors, whatever, but 715 00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:27.199 every quarterback has that, and you know, I feel like, you know, 716 00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:30.119 right now, I don't know right now, it's a bit up in 717 00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:32.000 the air, but you know, if if in these final few weeks he 718 00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:36.599 really goes out there and continues to make a statement, I don't see why 719 00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:40.400 you'd take him out of that discussion. I just I'm I'm happy, you 720 00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:44.679 know, And I think, like you said, if you take the Toronto 721 00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:46.599 game out, I think this is an entirely different discussion. But you know, 722 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:50.719 everyone's allowed. You're entitled to do a bad game or two. It's 723 00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:52.239 you know, it's a the eighteen game, you know, twenty one week 724 00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:55.079 season. I think you're allowed to have that. I just, like I 725 00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:59.320 said, longevity of it. You here's someone that I think a lot of 726 00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:01.519 people that hit kind of written off and Okay, he's in Montreal or became 727 00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:05.400 like I know, like as much as I loved him as a person, 728 00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:07.960 I was a little worried, like, Okay, now this year and this 729 00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:12.320 we got all these toys he's playing with and like, I think he's been 730 00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:14.719 great. I think he's matured into it. I know, and he's a 731 00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:16.320 fan of man. I know, we're big fans in the group, Jason. 732 00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:20.079 Any other thoughts on Burnin, they're just a story of kind of where 733 00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:22.400 he's at right now. Yeah, I'm really happy for him. I feel 734 00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:27.000 like this is you know, his place in the CFL. This is like 735 00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:29.760 it feels like he's really found at home. I mean it looked like, 736 00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:31.119 you know, a couple of years ago. He looked great in Montreal, 737 00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:36.159 but I mean things just kind of developed there and for whatever reason, they 738 00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:39.679 decided to bring in Trevor Harris and they decided to you know, make him 739 00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:44.079 the starting quarterback there. And then obviously he ended up leaving too. But 740 00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:47.400 things, you know, ended pretty poorly in Montreal. But I think this 741 00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:51.639 is really where he belongs in the CFL, and it's good to see him, 742 00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:54.000 you know, finally, you know, settle in here, because he's 743 00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:57.920 a guy that came to the CFL with a lot of hype and a lot 744 00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:00.440 of people were saying this guy is like an ideal fit for the CFL game, 745 00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:04.920 and that was like years ago. So you know, it's finally great 746 00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:07.159 to see that he has settles in here. And you know, is in 747 00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:10.719 the MP discussion and one of the name I wanted to throw out into the 748 00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:15.480 MP discussion. He won't get any serious consideration of winning it, but Brady 749 00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:20.719 Olivera has had an excellent season, one of the best seasons by a running 750 00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:23.360 back we've seen in quite a few years in the CFF AL And I mean, 751 00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:28.199 you know, if we didn't have all these excellent quarterbacks, because that's 752 00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:31.760 really what happens when you talk about the MLP discussion. If a quarterback's having 753 00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:36.320 a great season, they're gonna win that award. But you know, the 754 00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:39.280 years that there's not really that outstanding quarterback, that's when you usually see a 755 00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:42.840 positional player win it. But I think at the end of the day, 756 00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:45.719 Olivera deserves a shout out as well because his numbers this year have been excellent. 757 00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:51.320 Yeah, and then Ken ken Friedan's his check chiming in the chat, 758 00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:53.760 he says the two games are the Argo's loss, Kelly was hurt or did 759 00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:58.199 not play, the fact that he's not playing here at the end of the 760 00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:00.800 season. You know, they clinched first because of I know, I know, 761 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.679 but it's I mean, it's it's it's like the news cycle and okay, 762 00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:06.800 we're moving you know, we're moving on here, you know, I 763 00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:09.239 mean, you're gonna stat compare their uh my other thing. And then we'll 764 00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:15.440 get to the last game here in terms of Saskatchewan just because obviously presumably we'll 765 00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:20.000 see a BC or whoever has to I think it's Saskatchewan takes on BC here, 766 00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:22.840 right, Sascatchewan takes on Winnipeg and in the playoffs, I think it's 767 00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:24.199 a walk in the park. But what do you make here, Jason, 768 00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:28.440 And we'll get Evan Sauz will move on here real quick. But just Saskatchewan 769 00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:31.360 moving forward kind of following here in the standings a little bit. Well, 770 00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:36.760 it's weird because they're almost surely going to make the playoffs, but yeah, 771 00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:38.920 it looks like they're just set up to lose in that you know, West 772 00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:44.360 semifinal. And I know they've beaten Winnipeg and BC like once before, but 773 00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:47.000 I think at the end of the day, they don't look super close to 774 00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:52.199 those teams right now. And the last time we saw Winnipeg play Saskatchewan, 775 00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:55.519 Winnipeg you know, destroyed them in that game in the playoffs would be you 776 00:45:55.599 --> 00:46:00.519 know, on the road in Winnipeg, and likewise for the Saskatchew one versus 777 00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:02.519 BC matchup. So I think at the end of the day, they're kind 778 00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:07.559 of stuck in the in the middle here. They're gonna make the playoffs unless 779 00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:12.679 Calgary has a sudden resurgence. Here Ottawa runs off three straight wins. But 780 00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:15.360 I think at the end of the day, I don't know what to make 781 00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:19.159 of them, because yeah, they really don't look like they have anywhere to 782 00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:22.360 go right now, because it looks that they're gonna make the playoffs but not 783 00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:24.960 do anything else. Yeah, I just I mean super disappointing. Again. 784 00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:28.079 I mean last year, I know there was a lot of you know, 785 00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:31.079 heads being called for because obviously they'm hosting the Great Cup and everything, but 786 00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:35.000 to feel like, I don't know, I don't know what you do here, 787 00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:40.360 Jason, any other sat Saskatchewan I mean Evan Sorry no, oh yeah, 788 00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:44.880 Sascatchewan. Yeah, yeah, I mean just kind of yeah, I 789 00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:46.360 feel like what everyone else has already said. I mean, you go, 790 00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:50.280 you know, whatever they're gonna have to do, it's gonna be on the 791 00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:53.400 road against a really tough team, and you know, I just I don't 792 00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:57.679 really see them doing too much. It's been an interesting season for Saskatchewan. 793 00:46:57.679 --> 00:46:59.920 I feel like they have a lot to work with, you know, I 794 00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:00.880 always say that, you know, whether they win or lose, they have 795 00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:05.559 a lot of pieces there. But you know, obviously Trevor Harris getting hurt 796 00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:08.079 as early as he did, I think kind of, you know, well, 797 00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:12.639 it certainly didn't derail this season if they're in playoff contention, but it 798 00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:15.760 feels like they've had a lot of you know, shifting components, even outside 799 00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:19.440 of the quarterback position. I mean, yeah, you went from Trevor Harris 800 00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:22.880 to Mason Fines and now Jake Dola Gallis seems like the guy, and you 801 00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:25.320 know, I'd be comfortable, you know, moving forward with Dola Galla depending 802 00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:28.880 on what happens with Trevor Harris. I do think he will be back. 803 00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:31.199 But again, you know, Dola Galla can maybe go to another team next 804 00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:34.119 year. And I think I've brought that up where you know, you have 805 00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:37.639 a good showing in Saskatchew when you can go do something somewhere else. But 806 00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:39.760 anyway, you know, with Saskatchewan in particular, I just feel like they 807 00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:44.320 have a lot of a lot of moving pieces and things kind of kind of 808 00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:46.800 got shaken up for them early. So it's been a real mixed bag with 809 00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:51.599 them. You know. Fortunately, they do have games where they're exciting to 810 00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:54.880 watch, and you know they have they have you know, one against I 811 00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:58.880 think that, you know, interestingly enough, I feel like and if we 812 00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:01.320 want to talk about playoffs here real quick, I was just running through scenarios 813 00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:07.599 in my head. Unlike Montreal in the East, the Saskatchewan has actually beaten 814 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:10.760 you know, some of the better teams. They've beaten Beast, they've beaten 815 00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:15.320 Winnipeg before, and that to me really stands out. Again, I unfortunately 816 00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:19.239 feel like, you know, that's just I feel like, you know, 817 00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:22.079 it's it's gonna be too strong in the playoffs and they're not gonna be able 818 00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:24.639 to overcome that. But like I look at Montreal and I'm like, at 819 00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:28.880 the rate you know, things are going at Hamilton could go into Montreal and 820 00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:30.280 I think they could win that game, and you know, I think that 821 00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:35.000 would set up a very interesting you know, Eastern Final. You know, 822 00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:39.760 I guess that would be between Hamilton and Toronto. But yeah, just just 823 00:48:39.880 --> 00:48:43.920 a lot there. You know, it's for Saskatchewan again, going back to 824 00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:47.519 my original point, you know, I would say there's season overall. I 825 00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:50.920 mean, if you make playoffs, I'd call it a success, given how 826 00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:52.920 much uncertainty there was. Again, but uh, you know, yeah, 827 00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:55.360 no denying that. There's still some work that needs to be done. And 828 00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:59.599 obviously this was a big h This was a year of change for them. 829 00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:01.360 This was their first year. You know, you moved on from Cody Fajardo, 830 00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:06.320 you know, you moved on from you know, some of the coaches. 831 00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:10.079 Yeah, Jason Moss right, so you know, definitely a change there. 832 00:49:10.199 --> 00:49:14.480 But you know, I feel like there is a bright future for a 833 00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:17.840 team like Saskatchewan, and you know you can't say that for everybody else in 834 00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:23.039 the league. Right now, last game here, we'll get to kind of 835 00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:28.079 the weird game, and I thought we had Ron Smith on the show previewing, 836 00:49:28.280 --> 00:49:30.920 kind of talking CFL going the end of the weekend. Like you know, 837 00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:32.559 people have been very critical like why was in this game earlier in the 838 00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:36.599 Gray Cup rematch, really, you know, didn't didn't amount for a lot. 839 00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:38.639 We saw Brian Scott here in Friends of the Show did not have the 840 00:49:38.679 --> 00:49:40.679 best outy and Jason, what do you what do you make of this one? 841 00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:45.280 Winnipeg they trounta felt like they had a shot there. Yeah. I 842 00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:50.400 enjoyed the game for the most part, but like you said, when Brian 843 00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:52.800 Scott got put into the game in the fourth quarter, I felt that kind 844 00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:55.880 of ruined, ruined the vibe of the game. Like honestly, I thought 845 00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:59.920 that there was really pointless to kind of put him in there. I think 846 00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:01.960 because you have four other games. If you want to give Bryan Scott a 847 00:50:02.039 --> 00:50:06.840 full other game, you have four other opportunities to do that, But why 848 00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:09.800 take Cameron Dukes out when he's playing relatively well against a very good team that's 849 00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:14.480 still trying to win, Like you want to give your backups really good you 850 00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:19.280 know experience, uh, and you know game situations. You're playing against the 851 00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:22.719 Winnipeg team that wants to win this game. This was a perfect scenario for 852 00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:25.360 Camera Dukes to finish this game and and try to get Toronto the victory here, 853 00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:29.840 even though it didn't mean anything for them, but it was quality reps 854 00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:32.079 that you could have gotten Cameron Dukes, but instead you you pull him in 855 00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:36.719 the middle of the fourth quarter for a guy that hasn't played, you know, 856 00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:39.559 in the league right now, sorry in them in the league this season. 857 00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:44.360 And I don't know, it was just such a weird vibe at the 858 00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:47.079 end of that game because you know, Toronto basically just conceded it to Winnipeg. 859 00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:51.519 And I thought that for the most part, Toronto played very very well 860 00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:53.719 in this game. They came to play and I thought that, you know, 861 00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:57.880 they looked really great in the first half, but ultimately I feel like 862 00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:00.320 they conceded the game in the in the fourth quarter by putting in Brian Scott. 863 00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:05.639 Yeah, maybe sad here. You know, I love Brian. Bryan's 864 00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:07.840 been on the show and obviously tracking him going up there, and you know, 865 00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:10.880 there was a lot of things with the XFL and everything else that Evan, 866 00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:15.519 what did you make of Brian Scott's at first performance this season? Yeah, 867 00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:19.480 well, you know, Brian's been around and I was very I was 868 00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:22.280 very pleased to see him come into the game. I understand it was weird 869 00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:24.320 timing and I understand, you know, it might have not been the right 870 00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:30.480 decision, but you know, we like we haven't seen Brian play since you 871 00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:34.679 know what USFL last year, and he only played in the couple games before 872 00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:37.119 getting hurt. You know, it's been a long time since he has been 873 00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:39.719 on the field. And the fact that you know, he's still around in 874 00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:44.000 twenty twenty three, you know, with a major pro franchise, you know, 875 00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:46.679 one that has the potential to you know, win a championship even if 876 00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:52.039 he's not starting. I find that to be a very a very formidable, 877 00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:54.119 I guess is the term accomplishment, you know, A very like I mean 878 00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:59.800 I remember when he he was like the Spring League MVP, and that feels 879 00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:05.159 like, you know, decade ago now and times. Yeah, so you 880 00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:07.239 know, it's it's been a it's been a long time that Brian's been around. 881 00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:09.719 But I think the real story here, and again I'm sure Brian will 882 00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:13.719 you know, get another opportunity hopefully, you know, down the stretch here 883 00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:15.119 in the next couple of weeks. So you know, I wouldn't. I 884 00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:17.199 know, this wasn't his best day, but again, it was only a 885 00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:20.320 couple of snaps, you know, I'll give him a break, right, 886 00:52:20.559 --> 00:52:22.559 and it was weird timing and all that. But the real story here, 887 00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:25.119 I think was Cameron Dukes. And of course, you know this one, 888 00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:30.000 you know, was was pretty special. You know Mike Davis, who I 889 00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:32.760 work with, you know, in Vegas. He he was the guy who 890 00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:36.719 you know, brought Cam Dukes in, you know, to the Arena game 891 00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:39.320 and he played in Vegas prior to you know, going to Toronto. So 892 00:52:39.400 --> 00:52:43.719 we were, you know, we were very happy about that to see him, 893 00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:45.360 you know, go up there and get the start, and he's kind 894 00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:49.800 of you know, he's almost I guess the poster child in a sense, 895 00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:52.519 like you know, if you I'm not trying to make a pitch here to 896 00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:57.199 anybody, but it's like you know, if you develop your game and you 897 00:52:57.320 --> 00:52:59.840 take a chance, you know, things like this can happen where you're getting 898 00:52:59.840 --> 00:53:02.440 off oportunity elsewhere and you can play on a higher stage. And you know, 899 00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:06.880 Cam Dukes, you know, in this game, he really impressed. 900 00:53:06.920 --> 00:53:08.280 You know, he came out there and against one of the best teams in 901 00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:12.719 the league. You know, looked like he could start multiple games and not 902 00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:15.639 have a problem. You know, he was definitely you know, in a 903 00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:17.679 position where you know, you could tell that he had learned throughout the season 904 00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:22.480 behind Chad Kelly, and you know, he was really taken in all the 905 00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:27.039 information and using his prior experience in the arena game. You know, very 906 00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:29.880 impressed with what Cam Dukes did, and I think a lot of other people 907 00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:31.119 were impressed as well. You know, on the broadcast, they were saying, 908 00:53:31.159 --> 00:53:36.159 you know, this game, to some degree, you know, we 909 00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:38.360 all viewed this was an automatic win for Winnipeg. And yes, they still 910 00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:40.800 got the victory at the end of the game, but for a while, 911 00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:44.119 I mean it looked like, you know, Toronto was just going to keep 912 00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:46.039 Dukes in there and they were gonna roll past Winnipeg. And you know that 913 00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:50.960 the entire Toronto team played very well with him at the Helm. So yeah, 914 00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:52.760 I was really impressed, you know, with with how that went down. 915 00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:57.480 And I feel like, you know, I mean, I you see, 916 00:53:57.519 --> 00:54:00.800 there's too much time left in the sea, he's in tour. I 917 00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:04.039 would just take Chad Kelly out of the picture, like I think Chad, 918 00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:07.119 you know, has to play again obviously before you know, they go to 919 00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:10.280 the playoffs, and I hope that goes without saying. But again, in 920 00:54:10.400 --> 00:54:14.960 this game proved that you know, if you need Cam Dukes to play, 921 00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:17.119 he'll be there, and you know he's gonna play in a high capacity. 922 00:54:17.400 --> 00:54:21.119 And I think that, you know, if you're Toronto, that's very that 923 00:54:21.199 --> 00:54:24.960 makes you feel a bit more comfortable because I think someone mentioned it on TSN. 924 00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:28.880 They were saying, uh, you know, the only question that Toronto 925 00:54:29.000 --> 00:54:31.519 really had was you know, who's the backup, you know, who's the 926 00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:35.559 guy that's gonna come in if something happens to Kelly during the season. And 927 00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:37.920 you know, obviously it was kind of a you know, between Dukes and 928 00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:40.559 Scott, nobody you know, really knew. I mean, hell, but 929 00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:44.000 Ben Holmes was in there at one point. But I can't bring up that 930 00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:50.280 name on this show, but nah, you know, overall, yeah, 931 00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:52.880 I was very I was still very impressed with Toronto, even though Winnipeg got 932 00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:57.639 the win. And yeah, I mean I think that I know that was 933 00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:00.920 a lot about quarterbacks, but I mean we can get into some other some 934 00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:02.679 other parts of the game here, but I'll let I'll let you talk first 935 00:55:02.719 --> 00:55:07.000 read. Yeah, Jason, just you know, it's interesting and this has 936 00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:10.000 been the discussion here for a couple of weeks now with Chack Kelly and everything 937 00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:14.960 else. Torano I mean really kind of almost a beating Winnipeg with something. 938 00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:17.840 And I saw a lot of like online like well they're they're not resting everyone 939 00:55:19.079 --> 00:55:21.960 or they did you know, I mean there's still it's still a football game. 940 00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:23.960 But what did you make? Yeah, I was shocked, how you 941 00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:28.519 know, intense the argos were in this game. I mean, yeah, 942 00:55:28.559 --> 00:55:30.840 besides the quarterback, I feel like they didn't really rest too many players. 943 00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:34.800 I think a couple of guys on the defensive side, like Sean Oakman I 944 00:55:34.840 --> 00:55:37.840 think rested for this game. But I thought that they played with a lot 945 00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:42.360 of intensity. Ajoe Eleett I think, strangely only had the one carry in 946 00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:45.159 this game, but it went for you know, a big play, and 947 00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:47.280 I thought that you know, you know, the Artgos played with a lot 948 00:55:47.320 --> 00:55:51.679 of intensity in this game, and I thought they were legitimately trying to win. 949 00:55:51.840 --> 00:55:54.559 But and that's why I was very confused by their decision in the fourth 950 00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:58.360 quarter to bring in Brian Scott. And let me be clear, I'm not 951 00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:01.480 ripping on Brian Scott. I'm just saying that I thought that Cameron Duke's deserved 952 00:56:01.519 --> 00:56:05.880 to finish that game with how he was playing, and that there are other 953 00:56:05.960 --> 00:56:09.360 opportunities to get Brian Scott a full game with the four games they have left 954 00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:13.119 in their season. So I think, you know, going forward, in 955 00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:16.000 terms of Chad Kelly, I think that they're going to play him next week 956 00:56:16.079 --> 00:56:20.920 because I think they're gonna play him for the home games. I think that's 957 00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:24.360 my theory about it, because you know, the fans there deserve to see 958 00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:28.239 him play. But I think at the end of the day, I think, 959 00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:30.440 you know, for a game like this in Winnipeg, I don't think 960 00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:36.159 they wanted to show the Bombers too much in terms of you know, they're 961 00:56:36.199 --> 00:56:39.039 starting quarterbacks. So I think that's why they decided to do what they did. 962 00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:43.079 Yeah, I like that theory. Yeah, play chat in the home 963 00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:45.920 games. I just can you imagine like a full Brian Scott game, that 964 00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:49.599 I mean full Brian Scott and the Argos at the home We got all these 965 00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:53.519 tools here evant anyone else who wants spotlight here before we get out, let 966 00:56:53.599 --> 00:56:57.800 me take a look. I don't have too many notes on this one. 967 00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:00.599 I will say, you know, not that he had, you know, 968 00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:06.440 an extremely impressive game, but Deontey McMahon was someone that I you know, 969 00:57:06.559 --> 00:57:09.239 scouted an interview. He went to school out here at McNeice State, and 970 00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:13.280 you know, he signed with the Argos. I mean, I think he 971 00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:16.559 kind of signed with them before he even entertained any other NFL opportunity. I 972 00:57:16.599 --> 00:57:20.440 think he just decided that would be the best place to go, you know, 973 00:57:20.519 --> 00:57:23.280 given his status, you know, coming from the FCS. But you 974 00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:27.119 know, it's nice to see him getting worked in. You know, he 975 00:57:27.360 --> 00:57:30.599 was a really impressive player, you know at the FCS level, one of 976 00:57:30.639 --> 00:57:34.159 the best you know running backs, you know, and to see him starting 977 00:57:34.199 --> 00:57:36.760 to get some work here late in the season for Toronto. He's another one 978 00:57:36.760 --> 00:57:38.599 of those guys where it's like, you know, kind of like Brian Scott, 979 00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:42.960 like he might not flashed a lot now, but you've got four more 980 00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:45.599 weeks to do something and I'm sure they're going to keep playing him, so 981 00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:50.119 that'll be exciting to follow. Maybe we'll talk about some guys on the Winnipeg 982 00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:53.599 side of the ball. Yeah, Brady Olivera, I mean, I think 983 00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:57.840 that goes without saying at this point, but you know, twenty five carries 984 00:57:57.840 --> 00:58:00.159 one hundred sixty nine yards, averaging nearly seven yards of carry. I mean, 985 00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:05.719 that's an absolute, absolute workhorse. You know. That's like, I 986 00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:07.440 mean, twenty five carries, you know, for that many yards and you're 987 00:58:07.440 --> 00:58:10.039 not even scoring, You're just kind of getting the ball and you know, 988 00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:14.320 chugging along for a couple of first downs. I mean that's you know, 989 00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:17.480 that's really good to see. And you know again that I think I know 990 00:58:17.840 --> 00:58:21.280 some people might you know, not want to hear this if you're not a 991 00:58:21.320 --> 00:58:23.440 Winnipeg fan, but you know, that might help them a lot in the 992 00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:25.920 playoffs. I think that's almost like a secret weapon, even though we all 993 00:58:25.960 --> 00:58:30.360 know how good Brady Olivera is. But yeah, I read, I gotta 994 00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:31.880 say it, man. I know, I know there's this whole BC deal, 995 00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:36.760 but you know, well, we'll see what happens. Yeah, I 996 00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:39.079 think that's probably it. In terms of guys from that game. Again, 997 00:58:39.159 --> 00:58:43.400 I enjoyed watching it. You know. Obviously you know there were some you 998 00:58:43.440 --> 00:58:45.039 know, different faces, but I mean, yeah, there was enough. 999 00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:49.400 There was enough starters in there. I think Toronto they had a lot of 1000 00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:52.079 their starting lineup in. I think they just you know, pulled some guys 1001 00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:53.599 earlier, like a j Olett had one carry, you know, and then 1002 00:58:53.679 --> 00:58:57.440 just kind of left after that. So, I don't know, interesting again, 1003 00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:00.119 kind of an interesting tactic. I know, we brought it up with 1004 00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:02.119 you know, we talked about Hamilton, like the two quarterbacks, like you 1005 00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:05.960 know, some of these teams, you know, pull some interesting cards out 1006 00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:07.960 of the hat. And then yeah, having Brian Scott in there at the 1007 00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:10.440 end of the game. Again, hope to see Brian in a larger capacity 1008 00:59:10.519 --> 00:59:15.440 having more success moving forward here over the next couple of weeks. But yeah, 1009 00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:20.639 ultimately that I think that's it. Well, there you go, we 1010 00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:23.039 did it. Like I said, big game coming up Friday, you know, 1011 00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:27.519 Winnipeg going in there, Jason, any other games you want to spotlight 1012 00:59:27.559 --> 00:59:30.800 before we get out of here, Uh No, I don't think so. 1013 00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:34.719 I mean I will add to Evans point about you know, britty olivera being 1014 00:59:34.800 --> 00:59:37.480 really important for them because I think with Winnipeg they like to hit the big 1015 00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:43.079 play, but they're not necessarily the best in terms of the short range passing 1016 00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:45.199 game. I think the running game is very important for their pacing of that 1017 00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:49.760 offense. So I think, yeah, Oliver a very key guy for them 1018 00:59:49.920 --> 00:59:54.119 going forward. Yeah, here els going into the Slaughterhouse of Horror and in 1019 00:59:54.320 --> 01:00:00.039 Toronto, let's see, and then Hamilton, Saskatchewan and should be excited and 1020 01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:02.840 like I said, I'll be up at the BC game. Should be a 1021 01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:07.840 good show this week. So obviously tracking the XFL USFL stuff, I think 1022 01:00:07.119 --> 01:00:09.880 Dan Caplan's gonna come on. I think we're gonna get him on giving his 1023 01:00:09.960 --> 01:00:14.360 thoughts about that. And I reached out to a couple of CFL guys trying 1024 01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:17.679 to get whether the CFL panelists has been avoiding me all season. We've been 1025 01:00:17.719 --> 01:00:21.039 going back and forth trying to get it scheduled, so maybe we can get 1026 01:00:21.039 --> 01:00:24.719 that pinned down or else. Sent another former player another invite to maybe come 1027 01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:29.880 back on, so appreciate it. Like I said, Jason suing his other 1028 01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:32.280 stuff on the channel and I think that's it, unless anyone has anything else. 1029 01:00:35.159 --> 01:00:37.639 All right, Thanks guys, we'll see you next time. And where's 1030 01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:38.599 my finger? All right? Take care
