WEBVTT 1 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:40.880 Well here we are, Happy Monday, Happy Canada Day. Happy read from 2 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.880 the Marquess birthday here Jason, normally I try, you know, I got 3 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.719 my shirt here. It's hot out. It's my birthday at suns Out guns 4 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.799 Out today, so we are rocking and rolling. How are you doing, 5 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.520 sir? Doing good man? A happy birthday to you. And I'm an 6 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.159 exciting group of games to talk about. Yeah, it's funny here, I 7 00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.640 got stuff all over my screen. It's funny. I always joked that, 8 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.200 especially when Paul and I were going through all the CFL versus XFL stuff. 9 00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:07.599 Yeah, it's amazing that Canada Dan my birthday is so important that they made 10 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.000 it the national holiday. So that's great. Jason. You enjoyed the day 11 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.959 off? Oh? Always nice to you know, get the extra day off 12 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.719 and then you know, have a short week, you know, the week 13 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.959 after. Is it odd that there is no CFL game on Canada Day? 14 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.079 You would think that they would make that be kind of like Canadian thingsgiving whatever, 15 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:33.959 we would have a game. Yeah. Absolutely, I mean like in 16 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.640 years past, I believe as as soon as a couple of years ago. 17 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.079 Recently, as a couple of years ago, we did see some games on 18 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.159 Canada Day, and so I thought it was weird that we didn't get it 19 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.120 this year. I know they're trying to stick to that whole Thursday to Sunday 20 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.640 through the summer kind of schedule, but I think it was kind of odd 21 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.920 to see it like that. And for me who's on the East Coast staying 22 00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:01.000 up to watch that Thursday night ten pm Eastern time start on, I appreciate 23 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.920 that it wasn't a game today, Yeah, I will say, because I 24 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.360 caught up and well, I think he got a little bit of delay. 25 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.240 But it seems to be going all right here Internet, We'll work through it. 26 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.840 I was at the kailn Car game here on Saturday, was tracking. 27 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:15.479 Yeah, we were at the game. I'm like, oh my god, 28 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.879 like the game's starting now. I mean it was. It was a really 29 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.360 late Thursday night there, especially, and even if you're in BC. I 30 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.680 mean I saw the Spars crowds kind of coming off the homecoming game there with 31 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.280 you know, ice or what was it fifty cent and all that, but 32 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.560 like, yeah, that's even tough if you're in BC getting down there on 33 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.479 a Thursday at seven o'clock for that, Yeah, for sure. I mean 34 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.199 like when you look at it. I think even if like I think that, 35 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.280 like obviously it's hard for Thursday night games, regardless for tenants. I 36 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.960 think especially when it's a West Coast game, because you can't really have it. 37 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.479 If it's a weekday earlier than the seven o'clock local start, that's the 38 00:02:53.520 --> 00:03:02.319 most realistic time for people to be able to get to the game usual nine 39 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.319 to five jobs. So I think that's difficult. I'm let's get Jason, 40 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.000 Jason, you on the reset your internet. Let's get Jason hop off, 41 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.319 hop back, gum, I'll plug. We got coming up tomorrow. Maybe 42 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.240 we'll just get that real quick. It's fine. I mean then, you 43 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.360 know, we make do with what we have here. I appreciate it. 44 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:21.759 If you've been living under a rock here today over the last week, just 45 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.240 to plug. Tomorrow July second, if you're listening to this, we will 46 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:30.520 have our big Oliver Luck Interview. XFL twenty twenty commissioner joining the program, 47 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.560 recorded that over the weekend for about fifty plus minutes. You know, the 48 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.840 whole episode's almost an hour talking with Oliver Lot getting his thoughts on spring football, 49 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.000 on the UFL merger, on kind of the future of spring football, 50 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.680 current landscape, all of that. Oliver is obviously close with Brandy and Brosie. 51 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.280 We talked CFL and all of that as well. So if you are 52 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.240 interested in that, A lot of excitement today when I posted it teasing kind 53 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.199 of for a week about that about a big name guest on there. So 54 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.039 Oliver Luck posted today the teaser for tomorrow. But that should be exciting seventy 55 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.319 m Pacific. So if you are involved in that, if you're interested in 56 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.919 that, like it subscribed, it should be good. Like I said, 57 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.400 Oliver Luck, a deep dive, long ranging interview, you know, and 58 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.960 we haven't heard a lot from Oliver kind of since and obviously with everything with 59 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.480 Vince McMann and the lawsuit and kind of all that stuff. So I saw 60 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.079 Oliver on the Front Office Sports gave them a quote. I think he was 61 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:25.240 talking with Ben Fisher as well, and so it seemed to be a good 62 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.480 time to reach out that was willing to talk about that. So we'll see 63 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.680 Hussey's Internet all that, yeat, Oliver Luck. Tomorrow should be a big 64 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.480 time interview. People seem really excited about that. Yeah, I thought I 65 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.439 was, you know, like what a great get for your show and I'm 66 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.879 excited to listen to it myself, even as primarily a CFL fan. Yeah, 67 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.759 it should be good. Like I said, even if you're involved in 68 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.439 the Canadian side of anything, should be interested for that. Let's get to 69 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.759 some of the CFL stuff. Caught up on everything today. Was not watching 70 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.519 the Ti Cats game last night, and I'm not sure if that's better or 71 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.199 worse. Caught up on that today was at the marinerd game for my birthday 72 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.680 at Jason. I really didn't know what happened in that game. Because I'm 73 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.759 going on the ty Cats radio show tomorrow with Bubba and all of that. 74 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.000 I think a j Jackiebacks is going to be a part of that. They 75 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.560 asked me to come on and one of the questions was you know which owen 76 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.040 for a team? And I was kind of prepping this morning. I hadn't 77 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.680 hadn't watched the games yet. I got, Oh my god, like, 78 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:23.519 is this is Hamilton in the drop it again? It'd been twenty eighteen or 79 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:28.360 whatever. Talk me through this one. Hamilton Owen four? Now other way 80 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.639 getting another win? This was I don't know, ty Cats can't team to 81 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.639 get anythink going right? Oh gosh, where to start? I mean, 82 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:40.759 I think the most shocking thing about how this season has gone so far for 83 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.399 the ty Cats is that, I mean, going into the year, I 84 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.040 thought that, you know, this team was gonna be bad. I predicted 85 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.920 there'd probably be one of the worst teams in the CFL. But I thought 86 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.800 it was gonna be because that bowlie by Mitchell was cooked and their quarterback play 87 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.439 would not be up to the level you need to win games in the CFL. 88 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.920 But it's been kind of completely the opposite. I thought bo Is again 89 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.439 had a pretty good game in this one, led a drive to take the 90 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.639 lead in the last minute and then the defense blows it aget again. They 91 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:12.560 decided to swibkick on the drive that led to the game winning field goal for 92 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:17.319 Ottawa. That was an interesting decision and controversial decision because Oudawa was able to 93 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.120 get the ball near midfield and still had her own twenty five seconds left, 94 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.279 and they just had to make a couple of plays to get into field goal 95 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.920 rains for Lewis Ward and sure enough he cashed it. And by the way, 96 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.199 all I want to say, three of the four games this week came 97 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.879 down to, you know, a game winning kick, so some exciting football 98 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:39.040 we're seeing this year in the CFL. But yeah, ultimately from a Hamleton 99 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.439 perspective, so disappointing. I don't think that there's much hope for this team, 100 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.639 even though you know, bo is playing well. He's really the big 101 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.720 bright spot for this team so far this year. But I think at the 102 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.800 end of the day, you know, they're not doing enough, especially on 103 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.160 the defensive side of the ball. I think this defense is just really struggling. 104 00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.839 They're not putting much pressure on the quarterback, They're not you know, 105 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.079 covering receivers very well. They're making bad mistakes at bad times or not being 106 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.279 able to hold leads when they've had them the few times they've had them this 107 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.879 season. So I think at the end of the day, you know, 108 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.720 I'm not much hope for the ty Cats going forward, especially with BC and 109 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.120 Toronto coming up in the next couple of games. Here. Yeah, well 110 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.560 look ahead, that's interesting. Yeah, I gotta I gotta start planning what 111 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:24.839 games are coming up. Kyle here checking in Happy Birthday, the professor checking 112 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.360 in put the knife down, Jason. Yeah, Because like I said, 113 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.160 I hadn't really paid attention and I was just sitting there. I'm like, 114 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.480 God, because that's the thing, like you said, and I'm pulling up, 115 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.800 I'm pulling up that I got the game here, you know. Yeah, 116 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.279 like you said, Bo's not playing terrible. We saw Tim White finally 117 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.600 get on the board. He kind of had a slow start, you know, 118 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.920 really laying out for that. We kind of it's a fifty to fifty 119 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.079 with Ottawa right now. We saw them play decent and we saw them kind 120 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:54.759 of get steamrolled last week by Winnipeg or excuse me, by Montreal with all 121 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.319 of that stuff and Cody and everything for that, you know, they're great 122 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.079 Cup band are raising? How big a deal is this? Like I I 123 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:05.120 wasn't really tracking the two thousand day whatever that Ottawa's hasn't beat was Is that 124 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:11.680 really a trend here we have going on? Well, they haven't beat Hamilton 125 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:20.399 in you know, in any capacity since the twenty eighteen touchdown passes against they 126 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.360 gat Audawa to the Great Cup Game when they eventually lost to Calgary. Yeah, 127 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.720 they haven't beat Hamilton since. And they were able to finally snap that 128 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.759 this time. And really, when you look at the last couple of seasons, 129 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:37.000 the reason why Hambleton was is because they got three wins against Oudawa each 130 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.679 season, and you know, Otdawa's just not able to take any games off 131 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.759 of them. So I think at the end of the day, this is 132 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.000 a huge win for Audiwall. Even though I didn't think they looked all too 133 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.679 impressive in this one, they made some good defensive plays when it mattered the 134 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.360 most. They had a dropped interception on that last drive for Hamilton that could 135 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.000 have stealed the game then and there. But I think at the end of 136 00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.639 the day, they got enough plays, made enough places to get the win 137 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.559 in this one. And starting off two and one for a team that's had 138 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.919 four wins in most of the last two seasons, I think that's huge for 139 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.759 them. Yeah, you gotta feel good here, crazy to see Ottawa here, 140 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.000 second, you know, second in the East, and obviously bye weeks 141 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.559 and all that stuff coming into play here Toronto and two and one as well, 142 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.480 we'll talk to that game. But yeah, it's certainly by no lack 143 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.720 of bow trying here. I mean, two touchdowns decently clean. You know, 144 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.200 we're still asking Bo to throw a lot. Greg Bell running, was 145 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:37.639 was Butler hurt? Was Butler out on this one? Concussion concussion? Yeah, 146 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.159 So see, you know you can't get too many runs going on that. 147 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.279 Yeah, really came down to the end. You were talking about that 148 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.120 and talking about the last couple of minutes, because that's one of the questions 149 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.679 too. I got a prep It's like, what do they say, Jason, 150 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.399 No lead is safe from the CFL. It'll all come down to the 151 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.919 final there. But it's exciting. I mean, we had a bunch of 152 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.399 walk offs, we had overtime overtime game right with with Winnipeg and Calgary. 153 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.039 Is exciting. Season done for Hamilton here? I mean, what's like, 154 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.320 do we blow up and move on? I don't know what you do if 155 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.080 you're Hamilton, because it's really been the big swing the last couple of seasons. 156 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.440 Well, I mean they were zero and four last year and they were 157 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.240 able to make the playoffs. But I mean making the playoffs in the CFL, 158 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.559 as you've said, with you know, Calgary making the playoffs last year, 159 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.600 making the playoffs, you know, it's not really a huge goal. 160 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.679 It's not a huge bar to reach. So when I was saying, I 161 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.399 think a couple of weeks ago on the show that you know, a slow 162 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.360 start to the season doesn't necessarily eliminate you from the playoff race in the CFL, 163 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.720 but it does eliminate you from being, you know, a first second 164 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:41.080 seed if you have a slow start as much as Hamilton's had the last couple 165 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.840 of seasons. And uh, you know, it's gonna be very tough for 166 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.200 them. They have a very very tough schedule coming up. I believe it's 167 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.080 a you know, BC at home and then Toronto at home and then back 168 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.840 to back against Montreal. Edmonton's in there somewhere, so it's a tough stretch 169 00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:58.159 of ahead. Like I was looking at them, like, where is this 170 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.039 team going to get the first win? I thought it was gonna be this 171 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.519 week, But unfortunately for me, they blew it again. Yeah, like 172 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.480 he's excuse me, Like you said, yeah, BC coming in week five, 173 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.840 than the by coming in, you have facing Toronto at home and stuff. 174 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.960 Maybe wek ate week ate there at at Edmonton circle it there, that'll 175 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.919 be where they get that. But you know, like looking here at the 176 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.559 stats, it's just and like I said, I recapped the game this you 177 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.720 know today watching it, Uh, it's just so weird to me that it 178 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.960 doesn't really seem like ottiway did anything much at all. And so I ended 179 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.720 up coming down ahead. You know, Lewis Warre going four for four with 180 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:37.720 the field goals and all that. I don't know it you seem seemed to 181 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.519 me that I don't know if it's a defensive struggles with Hamilton or whatnot. 182 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.759 You really seemed like all they had to do a lot. Yeah, I 183 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.919 mean, I think a lot of it came down to Ottawa just not making 184 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.720 mistakes. They thought that they you know, actually did make some mistakes Drew 185 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.480 Brown that is because he you know, threw a couple passes that were almost 186 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.720 intercepted, should have been intercepted by Tiger Kats defensive backs. But ultimately, 187 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.919 other than that, they played a very clean game. They made some plays 188 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.120 when they needed to in the second half, and you know, put the 189 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.799 ball in the end zone when they really needed to with like three minutes left 190 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:15.120 to give them the lead. Then Hamilton answered back surprisingly and then you know 191 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.360 Audible was able to get that last minute drive to to get the field goal 192 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.919 and win it. So, I mean, they didn't have a perfect game, 193 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.080 like I said, but this team is looking much more competent than they 194 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.559 did a year ago, and a lot of that has to do with how 195 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.759 Drew Brown's looking at quarterback, and most important thing, like I said, 196 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.600 he's not making the mistakes, or at least the mistakes aren't costing them yet. 197 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.080 So I think at the end of the day, you know they have 198 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.200 some weapons on that offense. It looks like Dominic Rymes could be a player 199 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.799 for that offense, even though he's been pretty quiet so far this season. 200 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.039 I think just having him out there as a deep threat, that's a type 201 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.200 of player they haven't had in recent years. Jaleen Acklan being very productive in 202 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.360 this one, justin Harder being a guy that's been really impressive to start the 203 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.120 season, looks like kind of their go to guy in that offense. So 204 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.360 I think they have some players for this team. And Tommy Condell, we 205 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.279 must say this is the uh they he won the battle between the former tiger 206 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:13.279 Cats defensive coordinators, I should say, of Dominic Condell being the offensive coordinator 207 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:20.200 previously in Hamilton and Mark Washington being the defensive coordinator still in Hamilton going up 208 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.480 against each other in this game, you have to say Tommy Condell won that 209 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.360 matchup for the most part. And I think at the end of the day, 210 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.720 you know, Ottawa was looking pretty good Yeah, so did Drew Brown 211 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.519 think because I was that was gonna be my follow up because obviously last week 212 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.080 against Montreal and that's tough, right, Montreal's d and all that round looking 213 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.159 better here. The weird thing, yeah, this Dominic Grimes, Like it 214 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.799 just feels like he's just like I said, I kind of forgot that he 215 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.399 was even with Ottawa at last week and they were showing the huts, like, 216 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.480 oh, yeah, that's where he's at. Like, it just is 217 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.279 that weird. Do you how underutilized he feels right now with Ottawa? Yeah, 218 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.559 it is weird that he hasn't had you know, he hasn't popped off 219 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.840 and had that big game yet, but I'm sure it's coming. I think 220 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.200 that, you know, he's still trying to be reworked into this offense even 221 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.919 though he played in audible before. It's a completely different team than it was 222 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.639 back in twenty nineteen where he had a thousand yards there. So I think, 223 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.759 you know, that's kind of the nature of the CFL. You have 224 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.159 an extra receiver on the field. Sometimes a guy gets squeezed out of the 225 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.960 offense from week to week. So I think, you know, he's been 226 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.559 very quiet to start the season, but it's only a matter of time before 227 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.399 we start seeing some big games and big plays from Dominic Rymes, because I 228 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.279 think they do have a quite assembly of veteran receivers in that receiving corps. 229 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.639 I didn't even mention Braylen Addison, who hasn't had some explosive plays this season, 230 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.080 but has been a pretty featured part of that offense, being a guy 231 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.240 that they've used in the backfield on a number of occasions as well. So 232 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.360 I think, you know, they have some talent on that audible offense. 233 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.720 Like I said, uh, looking here back at the standings, Like we 234 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.320 said, second right now and early in the bye weeks and kind of all 235 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.159 this stuff coming into play, but uh is it. I don't think you 236 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.080 can expect more if you're out of it at this point. I mean, 237 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.279 if you're if you're a are you feeling decently good about the season, what 238 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.200 do you think? Uh? Yeah, it's early, definitely, you know, 239 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.480 things can turn into a tailspin, as we've seen in previous years, 240 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.840 most notably saskatchwon the past couple of years. So nothing is guaranteed with a 241 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.159 good start to the season. But I think when you look at their schedule 242 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.000 going into the year. They had Winnipeg, who nobody would have expected to 243 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.159 be zero to four at this point. You probably had that Pennsylvan as a 244 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:28.360 loss. Then you had Montreal, which they did lose, but you know, 245 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.919 they really weren't very competitive in that game, but still you were probably 246 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.879 expecting a loss there. And then you know, so a two in one 247 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:37.879 start to the season. It's really not the worst thing in the world for 248 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:43.440 Ottawa, and a lot to see how they do in upcoming games against Eastern 249 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:48.080 opponents, because against the West last year they were pretty good. I believe 250 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.360 they were something like four and four or something like that against the West last 251 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.080 year, but they did not win a single game against the East last year, 252 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.879 which changed this week with a win against Hamilton. In terms of an 253 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:02.519 I'll probably steal your homework here at tomorrow, like what I got to do 254 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:04.679 because I have one of the questions worst and four. I guess best owing 255 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.240 four team. So let's go best and worst owing for a team here, 256 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.279 because yeah, obviously got Winnipeg and Edmonton here. Really weird right now just 257 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.440 with the nine teams we got three of they don't have anything. Uh, 258 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.799 I thought Hamilton's looked pretty decent all the way across your best and worst owing 259 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.840 four team. What do you think. I'm gonna sound like a homer here, 260 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:27.200 but I'm gonna say Hamilton is the best owing four team. And I 261 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:36.200 just think it's because I like what now I think. But of you know, 262 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.840 when you look at Claris, who got knocked up, will get up 263 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:48.080 out of the game, just against I, he hasn't looked very good when 264 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:49.559 he's been in there. You have to throw a touchdown pass. This season, 265 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:55.200 McLeod, He's looked good at times. They definitely moved the ball better 266 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.879 than they have in previous years in Edmonton with the past, but I think 267 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:03.799 ultimately the turnover have really hurt him at inopportune times. So if I'm ranking 268 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.839 those quarterbacks, and so often in this league it comes down to quarterback play, 269 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.720 I'm gonna rank Hamilton as the number one out of those oh to four 270 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.039 teams. And not to mention, I think that, you know, Winnipeg's 271 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.720 dealing with a lot more injuries right now. Edmonton you really can't trust, 272 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.759 you know, just given their recent history. At least Hamilton, we've seen 273 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.359 them go on some wild runs to end the season. Usually has been a 274 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.000 second half of the season type team. I remember there was one year that 275 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.640 they almost made the playoffs after starting OH to seven, So I mean, 276 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:36.960 I've seen some wild second half runs from this team in my lifetime. So 277 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.480 I'm gonna stick with Hamilton as the best OH and four team so far. 278 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:44.599 Let's go on here, we can circle back. I guess any other thoughts, 279 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.960 any other thoughts on Ottawa or Hamilton. At this point you will move 280 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.640 on to the next game. Uh No, I just wanted to point out 281 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.599 maybe Bob Dice. I think, you know, he has looked a lot 282 00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.279 more competent in that role. I feel like, you know, just getting 283 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.240 Condell in there, I think that was a really good higher for that coaching 284 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:06.799 staff. I think there hasn't been as many noticeable blunders like bad challenges or 285 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.720 bad situational decisions from him so far. So that's a good sign for Audible 286 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.799 because I had a lot of questions marks about him going into the season. 287 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.480 Well, and I think you want to see Saskatchewan or excuse me, someone 288 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:19.559 just coming and the chat guys, you want to see all the way I 289 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.400 do good here just because of like the whole like ten year ride anniversary, 290 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.640 and we're kind of making this be a temple season and we've got new patches 291 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.960 and uniforms, like you know, you know, you don't want to be 292 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.359 like Edmonton with the seventy fifth anniversary or whatever, just playing like complete dog 293 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.400 duty right now, so you know, at least for all the way, 294 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:40.480 Like I said in the past, I don't really know what it would be 295 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:44.359 like to be a you know, to be an Ottawa Red Blacks fan. 296 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:49.559 So you like to see that one thing here and this was music to my 297 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:55.759 ears, my eyes here Winnipeg continuing. They were losing ways here and it 298 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:57.640 was weird to me. So far Han came out and said, you know, 299 00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.000 it looks like look like you why he's getting ready to come back, 300 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.759 get ready to sign again. And I'm like, oh, is he? 301 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.799 Like is he going to BC's he going back to BCRE Like what's going on 302 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:08.440 here? And Walt Farhat like, well, he's probably gonna go back to 303 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:11.759 Winnipeg, that seems to be. And I tweeted out that Adam Silver is 304 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.119 like, you'll get ready to learn oh and four buddy, because I don't. 305 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.440 I mean, they've had so many injuries. I think Winnipeg has to 306 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.200 do something here. I guess, first off, that is a great signing 307 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.160 because they need to have something. Thoughts on I guess Lucky going there is 308 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:29.119 not enough to offset because Kolaro's and I know, getting banged up here and 309 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:30.759 we have quite the Chris Treveler stat line. We'll get to his play, 310 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.640 but I mean it seems like Zach Kallearo's is just out out to the moon 311 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.599 right now. Yeah, well, you're right about the Lucky Whitehead signing. 312 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.279 They had to do something, and Lucky Whitehead, you know, like him 313 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.599 or not. I think that he is a guy that was the most proven, 314 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:48.960 you know, veteran receiver that was still out there on the free agent 315 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:55.240 market. So even he took a step back last year in BC where he 316 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:59.240 kind of lost his spot in the pecking order to guys like Hats or in 317 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:00.599 Rhymes, I think that, you know, he's a guy that still can 318 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.839 help them and is familiar with that team and that atmosphere from playing there, 319 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:08.279 I believe in twenty nineteen. So I think, you know, he's a 320 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:12.000 guy that is gonna really help with that offense, especially because they have so 321 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:18.000 many young receivers right now that they're trying to work in. But unfortunately, 322 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:19.920 when Zach's been in there, I think, you know, he's been really 323 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.880 off his game, and I think a huge reason why is he doesn't really 324 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.680 trust these young receivers that they have there, Like it seems like whenever they're 325 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:32.680 moving the chains is to guys like Demski and Walla Tarski. Obviously, Lawler's 326 00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:36.119 on the shelf and then shown on the shelf for the rest of the season. 327 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:38.400 We've found out this week, so I mean it's gonna be very tough 328 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:42.039 for them to overcome that, especially with Brady olivera not a one hundred percent 329 00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:47.480 clearly Yeah. I actually I took his this week and it's just been really 330 00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:51.000 kind of crazy with everything with birthdays, Loty I totally forgot shown was out 331 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:52.880 as well, and I like, well, that's I mean, rip the 332 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.319 season at that point, I think you got to make a move. I 333 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:57.079 don't know. I mean, it's fine, you Winnipeg's had so much success 334 00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.960 here and obviously that we joked last week about them walking out on the the 335 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.880 the BC Lions were there, and right was that and they were walking out 336 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.960 when they were losing all that, But uh, I don't know, I 337 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.680 mean I don't know if Lucky Whitehead I was looking here at age thirty two 338 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.039 is enough to come in and really spark that. I mean, like he 339 00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:15.799 said, Lucky, it felt like two years ago was really good, right, 340 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.960 was that the year after he got paid when BC was able to kind 341 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.680 of make him the highest paid receiver two years ago, and then felt like 342 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:25.799 last year was really up to snuff if I remember, if I'm remembering that 343 00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:30.759 correctly, Yeah, he had that year when Mike Riley had his last year 344 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:36.440 with BC, and then he had another year with Nathan Rourke when he had 345 00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:38.559 that breakthrough season, and then last year he was kind of a little bit 346 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:42.039 over underwhelming and you know, starting to get up there been an age obviously 347 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.440 into his early thirties now has a lot of tread on those tires. And 348 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.519 you know also was you know, a kick returner for a number of years, 349 00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.920 which obviously would take a toll physically on your body. Yeah, So, 350 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.400 what's showing out here? Broken? I'm trying that I got ad blockers 351 00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.279 on here. What's what's the injury proagnosis on showing that for the season? 352 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:03.640 Like you said, I believe I know what's out. He's out for the 353 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.519 season. I believe it was a knee injury that they said, and it 354 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:15.759 happened away from the a couple of weeks. Played a fortunate injury for them 355 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:25.880 because he's just been a rock star, jes. So let's see if we 356 00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:27.519 can get your internet still really cutting the ow out here. Let's see if 357 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.440 maybe you can you can reboot one more time, and that time you want 358 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.880 to give a shot too, Yeah, yeah, talking him through all this, 359 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.039 and like I said, just you know, I don't know, it's 360 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.440 weird to see Winnipeg fall off at this point. It's certainly exciting if you're 361 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.160 a fan of the CFL West Division here and just looking at the standings. 362 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:47.920 Wild to see here, wild to see you know, b C at the 363 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:52.400 top three and one Saskatchewan here both with the wins on that. Uh you 364 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:55.759 know, Calgary holding steady. But yeah, you know, you certainly not 365 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:59.119 surprised to see Edmonton. You're the bottom of anything standings right now. And 366 00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:02.200 there's certainly something we'll talk about with Jason. But uh, you know, 367 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.680 the Winnipeg in my wildest dreams, Chason, I don't know if I would 368 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:08.480 have ever expected Winnipeg at this point. People obviously and when I was tweeting 369 00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:12.359 with the lucky white Head BC right started to zero and five and they won 370 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:15.359 the Great Cup and all that is this. I think this feels different. 371 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:19.160 This feels like Winnipeg has quite the uphill battle. Yeah, it feels like 372 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:22.599 there, you know, luck has kind of caught up to them. I 373 00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.880 don't everything's not luck from what they've had their success the last couple of years, 374 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.880 but they have had a degree to luck to be able to make it 375 00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.559 to four straight Great Cups. They have been a team that's been remarkably healthy, 376 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.559 and that is just not been the case this year. I mean, 377 00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.680 they're also pushing their luck with a lot of players that were getting into their 378 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:45.000 mid thirties. So I think at the end of the day, it just 379 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.279 might be their time to start, you know, falling off. I think 380 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.799 that, you know, it's not always a graceful decline for a lot of 381 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.119 these great teams we see in sports. You know, it's usually just a 382 00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:59.920 big fall off a lot of the time, and you know, it's it's 383 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.640 it's tough to see if you're a Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan, because you figured 384 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:06.799 they would at least be competitive. A lot of people were picking BC coming 385 00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:08.880 into the year to you know, make it to the Great Cup out West. 386 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:12.000 But I think a lot of people thought Winnipeg would be you know right 387 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.720 there in that conversation, and so far this year just you know, can't 388 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.839 even just get anything together. The interesting my question for you you talked with 389 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.079 Clara's, because I've seen both sides, right, Oh, well, this 390 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:26.759 is exposing Klaro's and he was never it was always the tools around them. 391 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.839 And then you're saying, you know that you don't think Clara's can trust the 392 00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:32.559 guys as much and a lot of the vib is that where you place the 393 00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:34.559 blame on that is it's Zach not trusting? Is it Zach falling, you 394 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:37.000 know, not having their elite receivers round them. Do what do you make 395 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.160 of that? And I want to talk to Streveler as well. Well. 396 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.359 The interesting thing was Zach is that you know, he's had some up and 397 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.599 down years in the CFL, Like we've seen him at his best the last 398 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:51.480 few years, but you know, for the most part of his CFL career, 399 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:55.359 like he's had some good seasons and had some you know, very mediocre 400 00:24:55.440 --> 00:25:00.359 seasons. You know, looking back to his time with Saskatchewan Hamilton after a 401 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:04.279 really hot start in Hamilton really tailed off. So I mean, you know, 402 00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:08.839 if you don't surround him with players, I think that's you know, 403 00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:12.839 he's he's definitely best from what he's shown so far this year. But I 404 00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:17.160 think at the end of the day, you know, he's he's a you 405 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.240 know, definitely does need those, you know, star players around him. 406 00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.000 He's definitely not, you know, one of those He's gonna make the Hall 407 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:25.160 of Fame, but he's not one of those guys i'd put, you know, 408 00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:26.559 in terms of like those all time. You know, just plug him 409 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:30.200 into any situation and he's gonna have success. I think he's a guy that 410 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.680 really needs those uh star players around him to step up, and he's definitely 411 00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.839 had that ever since he arrived in Winnipeg, most notably on the offensive line, 412 00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.480 which has taken a big step back so far this year. And that 413 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:44.720 running game, which they've always had kind of always been the bread and butter. 414 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.680 Since he's gotten there, with Andrew Harris and now with Brady olivera the 415 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.880 last I have not been able to get that run game going, and it's 416 00:25:52.880 --> 00:26:00.799 putting even more pre of the ball with the pass and undertidately with those receiver 417 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:06.880 injuries that they've had, it's been very tough for them to do. Yeah, 418 00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:08.240 you saw that, you know, you saw Zach get beat up. 419 00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:11.200 You saw him laying down ice closed. I bet he wished he could have 420 00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:14.440 just kind of laid there for the rest of the season. Just kind of 421 00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:18.880 how everything's going weird here to have you know, OLIVERA, you know, 422 00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:23.119 lead not even lead rusher here right obviously Streveler running for some yards on that. 423 00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.400 I just he seems like, yeah, they can't get you know, 424 00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.200 OLIVERA signed the big deal, he's had the injury stuff we've seen August see 425 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.319 a little bit. I guess thoughts on the Olivera downturn right now, and 426 00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.000 I want to get thoughts on Strebler because he actually ended up having to play 427 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.079 a lot in this game. Yeah, I think with OLIVERA, he's just 428 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.359 clearly not one hundred percent. Like he just reminds me of one of these 429 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.759 players in the NHL playoffs that is playing through something like you know, you 430 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.079 just clearly, you know, just because you've seen him at such a high 431 00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.880 level the year before, like it's just not possible to see such a huge 432 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.759 drop off from him, and uh, I think he's just has been able 433 00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.200 to you know, you know, get anything going like he had the previous 434 00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:07.839 season. And I think, uh, you know, he's a guy that 435 00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.200 you know, they definitely need to be a dynamic player. I think he 436 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:14.480 just sees how much the team's struggling right now and he wants to go out 437 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:17.000 there and help his team as much as he can. But I mean, 438 00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:19.000 I think he's just the way he looks, he shouldn't even really be out 439 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.279 there. I feel like he should be, you know, given a couple 440 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.440 more weeks to heal and you know, you know, recover from this injury. 441 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:29.200 But the team struggling so much right now, he definitely wants to be 442 00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:32.519 out there with his guys. And he was even getting a little frustrated. 443 00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:36.480 I saw on the sidelok during this game because I think, you know, 444 00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:40.200 he wanted more touches and unfortunately, you know, just I think the team 445 00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:42.720 seeing is the lack of success he's been having, you know, they've just 446 00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:47.160 didn't want to give him the ball as much. Yeah, it was like 447 00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:48.400 at the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs, like you said, and it 448 00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.440 was like, oh, Edmonton, and you know, mcgavid had a torn 449 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:55.240 whatever and this and something like, you know, you find that man, 450 00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:57.079 oh you know, and part of that might be a little bit overblown, 451 00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.960 just like, well we lost being my my knee was barely even hanging on 452 00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:03.400 here and I couldn't even skate down. But you know, I mean, 453 00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.160 they're playing through a lot. I agree with that. I agree with that 454 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.720 assessment of them. Weird, Yeah, weird that Olavera would be upset like 455 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.240 that of Want anymore because yeah, clearly had not seen the success thus far 456 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.519 with that with Trevler came in a lot. This game obviously went down the 457 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.960 overtime. We'll talk through the overtime, but how did Strevler look actually taking 458 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:26.400 meaningful snaps here and you have to throw the ball. Well, I mean 459 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.480 he had that drive at the end to force overtime, but other than that, 460 00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:37.039 he looks at the same old quarterback that we saw back in twenty nineteen 461 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:40.000 when he started games for the Blue Bombers, a guy that you just don't 462 00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:42.359 trust to win with his arm. He's a great athlete, you know, 463 00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:45.759 you can use him as a gadget type player, but when you ask him 464 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.240 to win games from the pocket with his arm I don't think he can do 465 00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:52.960 it, and I think the jury's still out and whether or not he can 466 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.200 be a full time, you know, starting quarterback in this league if he's 467 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.480 pressed into action for any you know, a decent amount of time. So 468 00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.200 I think it's gonna be very interesting to see, you know, if he 469 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.200 gets a game next week if Claris is not back. But I mean, 470 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.759 it looks like it was more precautionary with Claris, That's what they were saying, 471 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:12.920 I believe Michaelsha was saying after the game. So I think at the 472 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:15.279 end of the day, you know, Streveler is not a guy you can 473 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:19.680 trust in this league to start games for you and run at any consistent level 474 00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:25.839 unless you build a specific offense directly around you know, you know his running 475 00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:27.960 ability, but they're not running the ball well right now. So that's a 476 00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:33.400 big problem for Winnipeg. It is weird because, like you said, he 477 00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:37.119 had the one good drive coming down forced overtime, but then in the overtime, 478 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:40.359 you know, completely airmails and in the end zone right gets the interception, 479 00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:41.799 they're you know, Calgary is able to go and they have that weird 480 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.839 with the penalty, and that got pushed back and all that, but uh, 481 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.079 you know, to me, like that's the difference between Streveler and like 482 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.440 Cody Fajardo last year, great Cup, Like you got it. You know, 483 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.000 there's only you know, in a season in the game, there's a 484 00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:59.359 couple of throws you gotta make and that you know you can go fifty to 485 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:02.599 fifty on that, And that's the difference between kind of an elite quarterback and 486 00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:06.160 not. Did you like right? First? Is his first overtime game of 487 00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:07.799 this season? Right, I'm trying to track that because we had none in 488 00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.400 the UFL and Mike see be planted out. Mike Mitchell, Is this the 489 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.119 first overtime game we've had? Yep, I believe so. Yeah, but 490 00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.240 I think you Saskatchewan and Hamilton were close, but uh, you know they 491 00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:21.480 threw the interception right there at the last minute and broke my heart again. 492 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.240 Yeah, so his thoughts on that, yeo? Then when it right right, 493 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.920 that's what that pack exciting, I mean exciting stuff and Calgary proofs while 494 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.799 you always go second in overtime and see what you need to do. Thoughts 495 00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:36.559 on the overtime win of that, I like you said, Streveler, kind 496 00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:42.480 of you failing that risk and then to Calgary being able to capitalize. One 497 00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:48.440 specific thing, when you look at Alby Stampeders sent to b felt like, 498 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.759 you know, they were sending the heat, especially on that interception on the 499 00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:59.319 last play of over. You know, we didn't you know, see the 500 00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:03.160 field, didn't see the guys coming, didn't have a hot route planned out, 501 00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:06.400 and unfortunately, just like you said, airmail the ball in the end 502 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:11.920 zone that was pretty easily intercepted. So I pressure, well, I think 503 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:18.960 the Stamps deserve a lot of job defensively this season. I think, you 504 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.240 know, it's not one of the best defenses in the league, but I 505 00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:25.119 think it's been very you know, confident to start the season. Cameron Judge 506 00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:29.119 has been playing very well for them. Uh. Demario Houston got an interception 507 00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:30.920 in this one, you know, because you know, he was a big 508 00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:36.240 part of their offseason because he was a guy that they brought in from Winnipeg. 509 00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:38.720 He had like nine interceptions last year, seven interceptions, led the league 510 00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:44.519 interceptions last year. So I think that's a good sign for Calgary. The 511 00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:47.839 jury is still out on Jake Mayer and whether or not he can be you 512 00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:53.319 know, I'll say, but I think at the end of the day, 513 00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:56.640 he's looked pretty good so far. The Stamps are two and one. They've 514 00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:01.119 looked competitive in every game, and you know, it was getting a little 515 00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:05.359 bit diceyed down to the end when Winnipeg tied it, because it would have 516 00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:07.359 been really bad at Calgary blew this game, because when are they ever going 517 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.920 to beat Winnipeg if they blew this game. So I think at the end 518 00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:14.279 of the day, you know, huge for them to get a win and 519 00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.720 break a huge losing streak against Winnipeg. Yeah, let's talk here a little 520 00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:21.799 Jake Mayer. I think that's one of the talking points this week as well. 521 00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:25.000 We all that we're still you know, Jake's still throwing a million attempts 522 00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:29.400 for all this, you know, decent here to thirty nine had going heavy 523 00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:32.480 interception. How how is he looking? What's your assessment of him? Because 524 00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:36.319 I agree, I think Calgary's looked pretty good this year right there, third 525 00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:37.920 in the third in the West. I wanted to talk through Saskatchewan and the 526 00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:42.720 injury because obviously bye week this week we'll talk Trevor Harris. But yeah, 527 00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.440 I mean Jake seems to be doing all right. Yeah, most definitely I 528 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:49.720 think, you know, especially compared to last year where he got off to 529 00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:52.599 a really rocky start, he's looked very steady to start the season. It 530 00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:58.079 doesn't look like every second throw was going to turn to an interception. So 531 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.519 I think, you know, that's a big provement over last year for Jake. 532 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:05.000 I think the biggest takeaway from wanting their offense. I think they played 533 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.799 really well so far, but they just don't have that explosive element, and 534 00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:12.839 I think until they get that and unlock that part of their offense, if 535 00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:15.359 it's even there, I think they're not gonna be one of those uprational on 536 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.880 teams or be able to beat those up Rachelan teams in the league like a 537 00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:23.119 BC or Montreal right now. So I think at the end of the day, 538 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:27.079 that's one thing they really need to work on as an offense. They 539 00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:29.839 really need to get the running game going. Really no help from the running 540 00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:34.400 game in this one average less than four yards for carrying the CFL on the 541 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.119 ground. That's that's pretty rough. So I think, at the end of 542 00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:40.119 the day, pretty good game from Jake, considering that the running game wasn't 543 00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:44.359 there. He had a you know, an interception in this one that wasn't 544 00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:46.759 too great, but I think at the end of the day was you know, 545 00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:50.599 a pretty good game for them, and it's a pretty good start to 546 00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:53.200 the season, similar to Ottawa. Well, and you you know, I 547 00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:58.880 saw interesting And I don't know if this is just my UFL bleeding into my 548 00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:01.359 life here, but a lot of talk right now like CFL attendance and fan 549 00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:05.920 interest. I think ratings him indecent. But I don't even think even Michael 550 00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:07.760 Ball has been posting about attendance. I'm like, okay, maybe we should 551 00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:12.239 get Mike Kalan to do a UFL recap. But you know, but good 552 00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.719 to see Calgary getting to win at home, right They have struggled at McMahon 553 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.320 right four attendance and getting the interest in there. Like we said, we 554 00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:22.159 talked, you know, just making the playoffs isn't enough. You need to 555 00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:23.800 actually have success because I don't care. You know, to be the sixth 556 00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:27.000 best team in the league and they get balanced in the you know, the 557 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.960 playoffs isn't anything to say, you know, to be excited about. I 558 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:34.960 don't know, it feels like arrows up on Calgary right now, as far 559 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.440 as I can tell. Any other excuse me, any other sessments on them 560 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:45.800 because I want to talk to Saskatchewan here. Odd not too much on Calgary. 561 00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:47.639 I mean, I think they have a really tough schedule coming up, 562 00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.280 similar to to Hamilton. They played Winnipeg again in a couple of weeks, 563 00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:54.280 so that'll be a big test for them. I think they have Montreal this 564 00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:58.679 week, so another big test for them. So we're gonna see what this 565 00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:00.119 team's made up. Are they going to be closer to you know, those 566 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:02.880 to four teams that we talked about, or are they going to be really 567 00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:08.440 one of those teams elves as you know, one of these teams for home 568 00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:13.719 field advantage come playoff time. I'll will find out very shortly for the Stamps. 569 00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:16.880 So we have the news come out. I think I saw Naylor. 570 00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:21.639 I think Britton, Gray and Naylor kind of co signed and tweeted. Trevor 571 00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:27.360 Harris going to be out six weeks at knee injury. Right's his old? 572 00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:30.880 I mean today is my birthday. Trevor Harris had his birthday a couple of 573 00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:35.239 months ago. We were at the same age. No surprise to me at 574 00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:37.280 all. I mean, you don't want to see anyone injured, but I 575 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:40.280 can't imagine you're putting Trevor Harris at thirty eight in this position. Thoughts on 576 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:44.440 the injury because, like I said, Saskatchewan's second in the division right now. 577 00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:45.960 But I mean you're going to rite Mason Fine here for the next six 578 00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:52.000 weeks. Thoughts on the injury and then what to Saskatchewan do. They're actually 579 00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:55.159 going to Shaye Patterson because they mas and that's right, that's the preseason. 580 00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:02.159 But thoughts on Shay Yeah, USFL draft number one draft pick. Oh well, 581 00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:05.639 he's a guy that really didn't impress me, you know, from a 582 00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:09.039 Hamilton fan perspective watching them when he came to the game last week. But 583 00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:13.039 it's hard to tell when a guy comes in and didn't get the full week 584 00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:15.760 of prep. So we'll have to see how he does in his first CFL 585 00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:19.320 start this week. I think it's against Toronto on Thursday night, so that'll 586 00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:22.440 be a really interesting matchup. I believe it's into Scats one too, so 587 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.360 maybe he has a chance to pull one out and get the Scats one to 588 00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:28.840 four and ZHO. But it's just tough to see as a Rough Riders if 589 00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.400 you're a Rough Riders fan, because it's almost like deja vu from the last 590 00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:35.880 couple of seasons where you know, their quarterbacks suffer some kind of injury. 591 00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:37.760 Even though Cody Fajardo was able to play through a lot of that injury a 592 00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:40.920 couple of years ago, you know, he wasn't the same after getting nicked 593 00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:44.519 up early in the season. And you know, they went on that big 594 00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:46.960 back slide the second half of the year each of the last couple of years. 595 00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:50.960 So you know, it's certainly not surprising, like you said, that 596 00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:54.119 Trevor Harris got injured, a thirty eight year old quarterback that's not very mobile 597 00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:59.880 behind a pretty bad offensive line all things considered. So I think that, 598 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.480 you know, it's gonna be very interesting to see how they do because Trevor 599 00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:06.559 Harris was looking very good out there, and you know, he was just 600 00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:08.920 seemed like a guy that could be in contention for an MLP this season. 601 00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:13.360 But unfortunately, you know, thirty eight years old, very hard to stay 602 00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:16.559 healthy in this league. So we had on Darren Ball, I mean last 603 00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:21.440 week, you know, Onfire Sports, and Darren's wealth of football knowledge far 604 00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:22.960 out weigh as you know mine, and I couldn't even hope to have as 605 00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:27.639 much football knowledge as Darren has But when he said that Shape Patterson was the 606 00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:30.880 second best, like the best backup quarterback in the CFI, I almost spit 607 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:35.719 out my water on the laptop. I mean, Shae Shae is is not 608 00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.840 it. I don't care if he came in and was rushed and didn't feel 609 00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:43.519 whatever. I mean, we've seen shit. Yeah, I agree Iran coach 610 00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:45.480 Craig here taking them. They should have kept Dola Gala, they should have 611 00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:49.079 got made some fine. Mean they shouldn't geten in with. I don't see 612 00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.280 Shane Patterson being that. I do not see that that's an answer. And 613 00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:57.239 as you said, Toronto here at Saskatchewan, I think Toronto defense is going 614 00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:00.840 to absolutely murder Shape Patterson here. I think we might see I think we 615 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:05.519 might see him a funeral here at Plazak Stadium. Just thoughts on that this 616 00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:07.039 match up, Yeah, I know we talked about it, but any other 617 00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:12.880 thoughts on that I see this being Toronto in with like a sledgehammer here. 618 00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:16.800 Well, it's weird because I think this history has shown us that there are 619 00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:22.039 guys that are a better fit for the CFL game than they are for the 620 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.880 NFL game at quarterbacks. So maybe who knows, you know, he you 621 00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:29.519 know, you know, have some kind of success as a starter here for 622 00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:32.360 Saskatchewan briefly, but you know, ultimately, like I said, I don't 623 00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:36.880 have much confidence in that happening. He's been around the league for a few 624 00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:39.239 years, you know, been a third stringer somewhere, being like the short 625 00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:43.559 yardage guy for a couple of different places. But I think, you know, 626 00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:45.880 in terms of being a guy you can trust to win games, especially 627 00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:50.800 going up against a very very good Toronto Argonaut's defense. I know they didn't 628 00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:52.760 play too well. We'll we'll get to that in a minute. But I 629 00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:54.920 think at the end of the day, you know, it's gonna be very 630 00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:59.280 tough for them to win the game. But if it could just win a 631 00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:01.599 couple of games games before Trevor Harris gets back, I think that's gonna be 632 00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:05.199 the key. Because you're not gonna win all of these games, or even 633 00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:07.599 a majority of them. But even if they can split these like next four 634 00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:10.719 or five games or whatever it is, until Trevor Harris gets back, I 635 00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:15.039 think that will be a huge win for Saskatchewan. Well, I you know, 636 00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:21.320 thenier said and done here in Toronto, adds Saskatchewe uh, then they're 637 00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:25.079 facing v C. Then their face in Winnipeg that might be maybe, and 638 00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:30.079 then you know at Montreal here it's tough. It's then they get a buy 639 00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.519 No, no, they don Edmonton. There you go week nine, pencil 640 00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:36.599 in your first wins. You know, whatever wins is gonna be. Yeah, 641 00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.480 I just wild. But like I said, I don't you see this 642 00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:43.880 coming. And we always stay on here and I will say this is the 643 00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.880 same thing and we'll talk BC. But something is gonna happen to Vernon Adams 644 00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:50.559 and this is a concern to me. And I know we have Dola Galaza 645 00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.360 backup, but like, uh, you gotta just you can't rely on these 646 00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:57.480 guys to stay healthy that long. And to me, it's it's insanity. 647 00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:00.280 You would. I love Corey Mace and we've talked about that. They've been 648 00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:02.079 playing up to him, but it's insandy to me that you would have your 649 00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:06.400 season ty to Trevor Harriser at this point people you know, I don't know, 650 00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:09.599 yeah, And it's you know, it must be said that like almost 651 00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:15.079 the second most important position on a CFL team the last several years has become 652 00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:20.360 the backup quarterback because almost every quarterback misses sometime during the season. We only 653 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:23.519 had one quarterback start all eighteen games last year and that was Jake Mayer. 654 00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:27.639 So I think, you know, it's a huge part of a CFL, 655 00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:31.880 you know, team building this these days is getting that backup quarterback position solidified. 656 00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:36.559 And like I said, don't have that much confidence in Patterson to get 657 00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:40.079 it done. And I definitely disagreed with Darren Balumer as well when I watched 658 00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:45.320 that show that that interview you had on your show this week. So I 659 00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.199 think at the end of the day, you'll have to prove me wrong. 660 00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:52.840 Yeah, we had a hear a question about the American ratio rule and like 661 00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:57.000 being only able to play certain downs, right, that was with the new 662 00:40:57.079 --> 00:40:59.840 CBA that come out. It came out right, and that you're only able 663 00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:01.880 to play so much on this they want is that they should talk about this. 664 00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:06.519 I presume that means we should talk about it. But yeah, I 665 00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:09.159 mean that's that's something that came into effect last season, right going in for 666 00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:13.800 they were talking about that Tim White with the Hamilton game. Uh, yeah, 667 00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:17.960 it came in Maybe it's I'm trying to think of it was implemented last 668 00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:22.920 year or this year because I know, I know the CBA was signed last 669 00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:28.559 year before training camp, right, so yeah, or was it twenty twenty 670 00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:30.840 two? Yeah, I always, I always forget. But anyway, the 671 00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:37.159 rule is basically, it was designed to get veteran American players more playing time 672 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:39.159 and you know, you know, stick around when they're not going to necessarily 673 00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:44.440 be a starter on a team. Uh. But unfortunately this rule has kind 674 00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:46.800 of been abused and you know, you see, you know, even star 675 00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:51.920 players being that designated American throughout the game, like the tay Cats. Uh. 676 00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:54.960 They were talking about it a lot on the broadcast last night that Tim 677 00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:00.440 White was the designated American for the tai Cats and you know, all simately 678 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:04.199 like they were talking about, oh, how many plays he's he allowed to 679 00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:07.320 play and whatnot. And to be honest, I don't even fully understand the 680 00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:12.320 role, which really, you know, I think that's the the crux of 681 00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:15.639 the issue right there, is that the average football fan, like diehard football 682 00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:20.559 fan like me, can't even like fully explain it to people. So I 683 00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:22.400 think at the end of the day, it definitely needs some tweaks. I 684 00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:27.440 think the CFL's heart was in the right place when they put in this rule, 685 00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:30.800 but I think at the end of the day they the implementation of it 686 00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:35.679 and trying to track this, you know, fifty percent of snaps kind of 687 00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:40.079 thing for nationalized Americans. I think it's a very complicated thing, and I 688 00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:44.599 think at the other day it definitely needs some tweaking. There's a spider running 689 00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:49.159 across my laptop here. Yeah, let's let's go on here because we got 690 00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:51.400 two more games. We gotta get out of here. I have birthday dinner 691 00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:57.480 plans and I'm very excited for that. Let's get into this Toronto Montreal game. 692 00:42:57.639 --> 00:42:59.840 Kind of bill, this was going to be the game of the weekend. 693 00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:02.159 I think that's we have the thumbnail out for all that stuff. Uh, 694 00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:07.800 Toronto lost. We saw Brian Scott sighting. Was that now I caught 695 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:09.119 up on this game. Was that injury or was that just like, hey, 696 00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:12.360 we're out of it here. Why did Brian Scott make an appearance? 697 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:20.079 Did we lose Hussy I then we lost Jason? Uh yeah, and talking 698 00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:22.760 to do this with with the Brian Scott finally had a touchdown for Toronto here 699 00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:27.199 coming near the end, they say it was funny like this is the this 700 00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:30.000 is the the payoff to Toronto fans sticking around for all that stuff. Jason, 701 00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:34.639 did we get you back? Are you still lost? Let's remove him. 702 00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:36.480 Let's see if he gets that. Figure out Jason. Then we got 703 00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:38.880 to get the Canadian internet situation. Figure that out here. Anyway, Montreal 704 00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:42.840 came in, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it was interesting. 705 00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:45.079 I'm just curious, like because again I was recapping this, if there's like, 706 00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:49.559 hey, we're we're sitting shutting Dukes down for the game, or having 707 00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:52.599 Brian come in good to see. Talked with Brian. I saw him on 708 00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:53.960 the sidelines of the game. I think it was last week. I got 709 00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.599 a screen record of that, said that to him. Always enjoyed talking with 710 00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.000 our friend of the show, Brian Scott, m VP of the Spring League 711 00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:04.880 two time share for that. Was excited here. But Montreal coming in really 712 00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:08.079 taking care of business. I did not think this was close. Toronto got 713 00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:12.400 the touchdown near the end to kind of keep it, you know, looking 714 00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:16.079 better at the scoreboard, but yet not to be here. Cody looking you 715 00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:20.199 know, pretty decent here, throw almost three hundred yards. A lot of 716 00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:24.199 attempts on that, you know, Walter Fletcher not really a run game on 717 00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:29.000 this one. We saw James Letcher coming in had a couple of big returns. 718 00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:30.400 Let's get Jason back in here and see if we can get this going 719 00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:35.960 here, Jason Friend of the show, James Letcher having quite a bunch of 720 00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:38.079 kickoff returns here. What did you make of this with Montreal coming and really 721 00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:43.679 steamrolling Toronto at home? Well, this game is the one I saw the 722 00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:45.639 least of this week, unfortunately, because I was kind of flipping back and 723 00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:50.039 forth with the NHL Draft. I wanted to see who my Red Wings were 724 00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:52.480 going to take, so didn't catch all of this game. But it was 725 00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:57.000 slipping back and forth. I thought, you know, you know, same 726 00:44:57.000 --> 00:45:00.599 old story with Montreal. You know, they're well oil machine, They're dominating 727 00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:05.480 in all phases. They just seem like a team that you know it's gonna 728 00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:09.360 be a team that doesn't beat themselves, and I think that's always very hard 729 00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:14.199 team to to go up against. I think, you know, Cody Fajardo, 730 00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.559 same old story with him, and I think the most impressive thing about 731 00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:21.760 him in this game is that the running game was virtually non existent for Montreal 732 00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:23.679 at all in this game, and that they were still able to move the 733 00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:28.280 ball on offense. And that's something that I definitely wouldn't have seen from them 734 00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:31.039 last season. So a lot of the receivers are having, you know, 735 00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:36.519 breakthrough seasons. It looks like having Reggie White back in the receiving court like 736 00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:40.760 really rounds out that receiving corps with another big body Tyson Phil Potts breakout season 737 00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:45.400 continues. Cole Speaker another great game from him, and you know, I 738 00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:51.320 think the dress and Antrey also pulled another one of those on side punt things, 739 00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:54.519 which you know my thoughts on that rule, but you know, all 740 00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:59.480 credit to him for pulling it off once again. So Montreal just a well 741 00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:02.320 oiled miss, like I said, and another very impressive victory from them. 742 00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:06.039 Yeah, we're talking about I forgot to talk about that. So I'm glad 743 00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:07.559 and Tim bring into that beer. Tim all, let's fight deck checking in 744 00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:10.400 here. Tim always seems to chime in a lot when the Alo wentz victory, 745 00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:14.400 so it must be nice living that life. Yeah, I saw a 746 00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:16.639 lot in like the three damn Like if you don't not just pray, you 747 00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:21.639 could just move south, like I think there are plenty of CFL fans that 748 00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:23.320 do not like this play. Jason, would you like to pontificate now if 749 00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:28.199 people that like, I it's fine, Like I don't I'm not like again, 750 00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:30.239 like I'm gonna pull pull what's left of my hair out. I just 751 00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:34.360 think it's like annoying. But to me, it's not so much to play 752 00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:37.559 that's annoying. It's in everyone. It's the aftermath, like we'll just get 753 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:39.239 the hell out of our country if you don't like this, like this is 754 00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:44.440 Canadian football, Like it's like a weird lou ball And what's your thoughts on 755 00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:49.360 this? I just think it looks stupid, like unfortunately, it doesn't look 756 00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:52.760 like football to me personally. But maybe that's just the fact that I watched 757 00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:57.039 a lot of NFL growing up, and you know, you know, maybe 758 00:46:57.079 --> 00:47:01.960 I'm just to americanize from that perspective of to enjoy the finer nuances of the 759 00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:06.320 CFL game. But I think at the end of the day, yeah, 760 00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:08.360 it just doesn't make sense to me why you would get a first down in 761 00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:13.039 that situation. But we've been over this before. I think that this is, 762 00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:16.320 uh, you know, a very controversial topic. I don't think it's 763 00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:20.400 as big of a deal as a lot of people make it sounded out to 764 00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:22.280 be. I mean, you don't really gain any yardage from doing it. 765 00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:25.239 Uh, But I think at the end of the day, it doesn't look 766 00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:30.280 like a like a football play, and that's why I've never really been in 767 00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:36.239 favor of it. I want to see I want to see just living in 768 00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:38.719 the life that we have with the UFL and them, and they're them using 769 00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:44.280 the NFL kickoff modified now and the NFL using the XFL kickoff and that whole 770 00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:47.920 bit. I would love to see Darryl mouse Johnston's reaction to this punt. 771 00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:53.800 I don't know what. I just have to like, lock Darryl in the 772 00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:57.760 room and we're just gonna we're gonna show you this play this. I mean, 773 00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:00.079 I think Darryl's head would explode because he certainly did like the XFL kickoff 774 00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:04.639 because he wanted it to look like more traditional football. Tim doesn't see the 775 00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:07.159 outrage. Tim, That's fine. A lot of other people do. Tim 776 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:10.559 is fine. If you don't want to see the outrage, that is fine. 777 00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:13.880 I see outraging a lot of things. People don't be able to see 778 00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:16.400 outraging things that I don't. But back to the game here, when you 779 00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:20.159 were resetting it, you know we did see it. Brian Scott here mop 780 00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:24.159 up duty at the end. How did you know flowing locks Cameron Duke's look 781 00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:28.559 in this before the game was out of him? Well, I mean this 782 00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:31.280 was your classic comeback down to earth kind of game. I don't think he 783 00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:36.320 played that terribly, but you know, compared to how he played the first 784 00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:39.760 couple of games this season where he looked really good, it definitely was a 785 00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:45.320 step up in competition playing against a red hot Alouettes defense. I think, 786 00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:49.360 you know, he's a guy that you know, he's still very early in 787 00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:52.440 his career in terms of starting games. I think this is what his fifth 788 00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:54.840 start in the league. So it's gonna be very interesting to see how he 789 00:48:54.880 --> 00:49:00.360 plays going forward as defenses continue to get more film on him. But I 790 00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:02.519 really don't hold much against Cameron Dukes in this one, given that he was 791 00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:07.639 going up against that buzzsaw of Aloett's defense. I mean, this is and 792 00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:09.639 we'll get to the last game here, we got ten minutes left, we'll 793 00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:13.559 get out. I mean, the outlets around like a different level right now. 794 00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:15.719 I mean, are you We've talked about this every week. We just 795 00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:20.320 surprised and just how much, just how much better they looked at any other 796 00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:23.119 team right now, it's really remarkable. Yeah, absolutely, And and like 797 00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:28.199 I think they kind of remind me of that Green Bay Packers team back in 798 00:49:28.199 --> 00:49:30.679 the day that Aaron Rodgers won his one Super Bowl with. I think that 799 00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:37.159 last six or seven games of the season they won like all the regular season, 800 00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:38.840 and they won four playoff games in a row, and I think they 801 00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:42.719 went fifteen to one. The next year, they went something like a whole 802 00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:45.039 calendar year without losing a game. I think Montreal is kind of on that 803 00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:49.880 same trajectory right now, starting four to zero to this season. But I 804 00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:53.639 will say this, and it's definitely worth pointing out that not often does the 805 00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:58.320 best team in the regular season the CFL win the Great Cup. It's it's 806 00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:00.480 pretty rare, so well, not pretty rare, but like, it doesn't 807 00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:04.960 always happen, and we've seen that in recent memory. Before there's been a 808 00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:08.199 lot of upsets in the big Game and in the playoffs. So I think 809 00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:13.559 at the end of the day, peaking too early it could be a possibility 810 00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:15.880 for the Alouettes, but for right now, just really no complaints from what 811 00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:19.920 I've seen from them so far. Yeah, peak, Yeah, you know, 812 00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:22.880 peaking too early. You know, there's certainly a thing or playing your 813 00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:27.280 best football? Here are you surprised? And side you can't football really did, 814 00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.599 But I think it was p K. P Right had our interview this 815 00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:32.760 week, like there's no money to be made in football, or at least 816 00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:36.440 in the short term, and talking about that and get it. I saw 817 00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:37.960 a lot of people correct him of no, there's no money to be made 818 00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:42.440 in CFL for the money be made in American football. But I just thoughts 819 00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:44.639 on that. I thought that was really good. Three Down had the write 820 00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:46.000 up on that. I thought that was a good article just talking about that 821 00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:50.239 and kind of rebuilding the franchise. And I know we've had Tim and Cliffe 822 00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:52.360 on and talking about kind of the resurgens with the Awls and everything. Agree 823 00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:55.960 great for the league with just thoughts on anything coming up from that. I 824 00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:02.119 completely agree with what Pierre Corrapelodo said. I think that ultimately you're not in 825 00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:07.199 this league to make money. Really. I think there's just not the money 826 00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:09.280 to be had, Like he said, I think in certain markets, you 827 00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:14.559 know, you can be profitable, but I think in a small league like 828 00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:19.039 this that's so dependent on you know, gate revenue, I think it's really 829 00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:22.800 impossible to have all the teams kind of like you know, having a lot 830 00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:27.559 of like financial success at the same time, which was what would be required 831 00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:30.920 really for this league to be very profitable. And I think given the certain 832 00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:37.440 situations that certain teams are in stadium wise Montreal, it's a great location for 833 00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:43.199 that stadium, but definitely needs more repairs to that facility or a new facility 834 00:51:43.239 --> 00:51:46.679 altogether for that team. McMahon Calgary, and I think that kind of drags 835 00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:51.079 down what a lot of these teams can make out of, you know, 836 00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:52.920 their bottom line. So I think at the end of the day, I 837 00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:57.559 kind of agree with up here Cola Pelado that there's no money to be made 838 00:51:57.599 --> 00:52:02.480 in CFL football. It's more like, uh, the philanthropy kind of you 839 00:52:02.519 --> 00:52:07.440 know thing for some of these rich owners. So I think at the end 840 00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:09.800 of the day, I think he's the right owner for that team. He 841 00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:14.719 really has no problem. If you read the interview, I thought he was 842 00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:17.400 very comfortable with where the Alloy Whites were at. He says there's no pressure 843 00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:22.400 for them to draw a profit anytime soon or like obviously they want to you 844 00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:24.159 know, be less in the red. But I think at the end of 845 00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:28.400 the day, you need an owner that's willing to sit through the bad time, 846 00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:32.039 so the franchise, even when you know the times are pretty good right 847 00:52:32.039 --> 00:52:36.599 now for the Alouettes on the field. So I think it's a big part 848 00:52:36.639 --> 00:52:39.639 of the CFL game to have ownership that's willing to you know, fund the 849 00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:45.639 team regardless of the bottom line. Yeah, it must be nice by a 850 00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:47.400 team win a great cup. But you know, if only everyone could be 851 00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:51.239 so likey, let's get to the last game here before we get that now 852 00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:53.599 at BC, I was like, I came home from the Kailin Clark game. 853 00:52:53.639 --> 00:52:55.559 I had this on. I was like, Okay, we got the 854 00:52:55.559 --> 00:52:58.880 field goal, Okay they got Okay, we're gonna be able to get this 855 00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:01.119 taken care of here? Did I fever dream? I thought Williams standback have 856 00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:06.760 a rushing touchdown? Did I fever dream that? Oh? Was it in 857 00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:08.960 the oh yet? A receiving touchdown? Yeah? I see it over there. 858 00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:13.519 Yeah yeah, I'm trying to think back all the way to Thursday night, 859 00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:17.599 like fever dream. So BC taking care of business? Uh barely walk 860 00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:21.840 off field goals? I tweeted out, shot White, are you kidding me? 861 00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:24.840 Ah? Thoughts on this one because it's beginning to be at the point 862 00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:29.039 now that spider has crawled up my leg and under my shirts. Uh, 863 00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:34.079 the like, you don't want to be the team that drops to Edmonton, 864 00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:36.840 right it's almost becoming that now. Thoughts on this game, I know it's 865 00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:38.599 been a long time ago here, but you know, b c uh first 866 00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:40.920 in the West obviously with the stands right now. But my thoughts on this 867 00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:46.679 game, I thought it was an overall very entertaining game. Edmonton has definitely 868 00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:50.920 been a more exciting watch this year, which has helped and you know, 869 00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:54.440 uh enjoying some of these games that they've been a part of. But uh, 870 00:53:54.519 --> 00:53:58.800 I think you'll be c. I think I've liked what I've seen from 871 00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:02.440 Vernon Adams so far this season, even though they're not really hitting their full 872 00:54:02.440 --> 00:54:07.039 stride in terms of, you know, the explosiveness of the offense in comparison 873 00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:09.400 to the last two years as of yet, I think that he's been very 874 00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:14.199 steady. You look at it, like every week he's just ends up around 875 00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:17.400 three hundred yards, completing a good percentage of his passes, just really solid 876 00:54:17.400 --> 00:54:22.519 stat line and just looking very comfortable in this DC Lions offense. And you 877 00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:25.440 know, I think they're definitely on track to still be one of the best 878 00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:30.280 teams in this league. You know, they had to really be. You 879 00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:31.239 know, it was really close at the end of this game. But I 880 00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:35.760 think that's more of a result of how Edmonton is really you know, fighting 881 00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:38.079 to get that first win right now. They almost were able to, but 882 00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:43.480 unfortunately for them, BC was able to get that last second field goal and 883 00:54:43.960 --> 00:54:46.800 walk it off there at the end where it was around one am Eastern time 884 00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:51.239 here on Thursday night. So I think at the end of the day, 885 00:54:51.840 --> 00:54:55.239 pretty good stuff from BC and Edmonton just breaking the hearts of their fans yet 886 00:54:55.239 --> 00:55:00.639 again. Yeah, sparse crowd, excuse me following kind of the fifty cent 887 00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:06.360 all that if it was me, and I agree, BC's good. There's 888 00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:08.119 a lot of these teams that aren't great right now. I think BC. 889 00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:13.480 I wish I could take like a shock paddle to Rick Campbell, like I 890 00:55:13.519 --> 00:55:15.559 would just love to kind of like wake him up a little bit, because 891 00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:17.760 it's like every single one of these post games. Because I've told you I 892 00:55:17.800 --> 00:55:20.719 watch all that. I don't watch all of you know, every team, 893 00:55:20.760 --> 00:55:22.039 so but I watch every Rick Campbell the you know, the little thing they 894 00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:25.599 post and sponsored by whatever automotive and all that stuff, and he's like, 895 00:55:25.880 --> 00:55:30.159 well, you know we won. We didn't get it all together. If 896 00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:32.880 we get it all together, like we could be really dangerous. Like it's 897 00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:36.480 just such the like we we got everything we needed. I don't know, 898 00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:38.559 I just want them to like I just wanted to feel like there's some sort 899 00:55:38.599 --> 00:55:43.239 of like urgency at all, Like I don't I don't know. We're trying 900 00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:45.400 to get so, you know, kind of get everything figured out here. 901 00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:47.079 It just to me, it doesn't feel like not that there needs to be 902 00:55:47.239 --> 00:55:51.840 urgency in week four going into five, but like you are hosting the Great 903 00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:52.960 CuPy of this year, there is a lot of that, you know, 904 00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:57.119 this is probably the last window you have with VA and kind of all this 905 00:55:57.320 --> 00:55:59.800 pieces, we're all get this going. Like I don't know, to me, 906 00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:01.880 just like a little bit more umph there are you? Or are you? 907 00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:06.440 Like BC's great, but they're just yeah, they're lacking kind of any 908 00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:08.559 sort of a really sexy excitement right now. It just feels like they're kind 909 00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:13.719 of going through the motions. Yeah. Rick Campbell is certainly not the most 910 00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:19.639 energetic coach. I would say, doesn't you know seem like he galvanizes the 911 00:56:19.719 --> 00:56:22.679 team, at least in terms of like what you hear from him talking to 912 00:56:22.719 --> 00:56:25.719 the media. But I think at the end of the day, it's like 913 00:56:25.800 --> 00:56:29.880 I said before, he's a hard coach to figure out whether or not he 914 00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:34.719 makes such a positive impact on the team or not. Like I said, 915 00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:37.480 I think that BC is looking very good this season. I thought that, 916 00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:43.280 uh, you know, their defense is starting to look good in some areas. 917 00:56:43.559 --> 00:56:46.480 Again, hasn't really hit their full stride on that side of the ball. 918 00:56:46.519 --> 00:56:52.519 And like I was saying with Montreal, maybe BC's not really peaking early 919 00:56:52.559 --> 00:56:55.599 in the season. Maybe their best football is still yet to come later on 920 00:56:55.679 --> 00:57:00.559 this season, they're still dealing with the incorporating a lot of new pieces into 921 00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:04.280 this team. I think, you know, with the injury to Keon Hatcher 922 00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:07.280 and the receiving corps that was definitely you know a difference to their receiving corps 923 00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:12.079 going into this season. And they're still trying to work in some guys like 924 00:57:12.119 --> 00:57:15.320 Aiden Aberheart, who had a big game in this one. So I think, 925 00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:17.440 you know, trying to establish Williams stand back is the new running back. 926 00:57:17.880 --> 00:57:22.960 Tried to run the ball in some key situations in this one. To 927 00:57:22.079 --> 00:57:27.320 some success, but not you know, terrific looking at the three point eight 928 00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:30.760 yards per carry that stand back average. So I think at the end of 929 00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:34.000 the day, BC's still looking pretty good. But like I said, they 930 00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:37.679 haven't really had one game where you're like, wow, this this team is 931 00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:40.119 really a contender for the best team in the league. What do you think 932 00:57:40.159 --> 00:57:44.159 of this David Mackie thing here, Like we're trying to kind of use him 933 00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:46.599 shortyarded she had the fumble there near the end, and I think have the 934 00:57:46.679 --> 00:57:51.320 rushing touchdown for that. But thoughts on that because you know, obviously we've 935 00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:53.000 had the Vernon and we didn't we got rid of prou Cop and kind of 936 00:57:53.039 --> 00:57:55.800 all this have I reading that Rider were kind of using him so we don't 937 00:57:55.800 --> 00:58:00.559 get Vernon beat up. Like thoughts on that. Yes, it's very interesting 938 00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:07.280 because Hamilton's doing a very similar thing with Ante Milanovitch Lee Tray, who's you 939 00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:12.599 know, backup Canadian running back who has been taking the snaps for a lot 940 00:58:12.599 --> 00:58:15.960 of the short yard situations for Hamilton. So it's interesting that both of these 941 00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:20.880 teams are kind of using a similar route, really trying to limit the amount 942 00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:24.000 of hits that they're starting quarterbacks take and you know, when you're running those 943 00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:30.119 short yardage plays, you ideally want a bigger kind of quarterback that you know, 944 00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:34.000 can really move the pile. And not every quarterback room in the league 945 00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:37.360 necessarily has one of those players. So I mean, I guess this is 946 00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:43.079 a better alternative than using Adams as the short yarde quarterback in my opinion. 947 00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:47.119 But it definitely is an interesting experiment because they're not used to, you know, 948 00:58:47.480 --> 00:58:51.519 positioned players like that are not used to, you know, getting the 949 00:58:51.559 --> 00:58:54.159 snap from under center like that. So maybe you get you know, some 950 00:58:54.239 --> 00:59:02.000 mistakes like that with the exchange from this Hamilton Tirecats and the BC Lions. 951 00:59:02.039 --> 00:59:07.119 So yeah, it's gonna be interesting experiment experiment to see going forward. But 952 00:59:07.679 --> 00:59:10.599 I kind of like the thinking from the Lions last thought here, Like, 953 00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:15.119 I mean, is Cornelius around for ten bucks? Can we get him on? 954 00:59:15.239 --> 00:59:16.960 I was looking at them because he's I mean, right, he's a 955 00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:20.559 free agent, Like is that not someone we can just bring into short yard 956 00:59:20.599 --> 00:59:22.920 each year? Like I just I don't love it feels very makeshift to me. 957 00:59:23.000 --> 00:59:24.679 This is the last thing because I gotta get out of here. We 958 00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:28.039 just thought that I know, to me, this is like, this is 959 00:59:28.039 --> 00:59:30.920 one of those things that's gonna come back to like bite BC in the ass, 960 00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:34.639 I think, yeah. I mean, Cornelius is a strange one because 961 00:59:34.679 --> 00:59:38.639 I thought some team was gonna fall in love with the physical you know ability, 962 00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:42.880 the fact that he does have a very strong arm, cam run. 963 00:59:42.920 --> 00:59:45.599 He had you know, several big rushing games when he was with Edmonton, 964 00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:51.159 but obviously he had such a poor record as their starting quarterback that maybe teams 965 00:59:51.159 --> 00:59:53.599 have been like, yeah, we've seen enough film, we rather just go 966 00:59:53.639 --> 00:59:57.480 in a different direction in terms of bringing in a backup. So, you 967 00:59:57.519 --> 00:59:59.679 know, I'm kind of shocked that he's still in the streets right now. 968 00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:02.159 Maybe he gets signed in the middle of the season here, like Lucky Whitehead 969 01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:06.320 just did. But at the end of the day, no bite so far, 970 01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:08.559 it looks like for him, and it'll be interesting to see if he 971 01:00:08.599 --> 01:00:12.400 does get signed by the end of the year. All right, we're gonna 972 01:00:12.440 --> 01:00:15.400 get out of here. Thank you, Jason. We've fought through Internet. 973 01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:17.440 I appreciate that. Thanks to everyone. Check it out, like to subscribe, 974 01:00:17.719 --> 01:00:21.320 thumbs up the video. Hopefully give a thumbs up. You're watching a 975 01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:22.880 big interview tomorrow. All over, Luck I guess said. I'll be on 976 01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:27.519 the CFL I think at CFL this week on the tie Cats Radio. It's 977 01:00:27.559 --> 01:00:30.440 awesome. I don't even know where that is, so Jason, I'm sure 978 01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:32.320 we'll let me know and how we can find that and share it everything else, 979 01:00:32.360 --> 01:00:47.360 but I appreciate it. We'll see everyone next time. Thanks to everyone.
