OT: CFL: Ottawa Redblacks

[thinkwild]

They really seem to have found some good talent, kudos to the GM. So much roster turnover, you just hope they can keep some players for a while and see how this team gels. It all starts with Dru Brown who is pretty poised and able to make quick reads. This new RB Laborn is pretty impressive too. Got some players

Argos not looking that impressive though. Looking forward to measuring against the Als.

The CFL is all about the QB & Ottawa seems to have found a gem in Drew Brown, he has an excellent arm & great vision as he single handedly changed this team around from a laughing stock to a playoff team in one yr. And if Masoli stays healthy they have a great backup too.

Kelly Toronto's QB clearly rusty after being suspending for half the yr shows us what a difference a good QB does for a team & a rusty one. I don't remember the last time an Ottawa team scored 40 pts, maybe the Burris yrs. They nw look like a completely different team with Brown at QB than any other since Burris.

Put Masoli in. Brown is not having a good game.

Hamilton 37 Ottawa 21 very late in 4th Massoli just threw a interception

37-21 Final

What channel is the Redblacks game on?

 

[mianjo]

Maybe it's a good job it's not on regular tv, Brown has thrown 2 interceptions in the first 8 mins, one for a TD

Brown not good today, Massoli is now in at QB. Montreal 17 Ottawa 3

 

[Game 7 Meltdown]

Dang! With all the other gridiron news on the weekend, I didn't check some of the "other" games until just now. I see that Ryquell Armstead, who got shown the door by the RedBlacks a few weeks ago, rushed for over 207 yards in his debut with the Riders. How'd he learn the playbook so fast? Well, the goodguys knew he could carry the ball (he was their leading rusher, after all) when they turfed him. Seems to have been more an issue of undisciplined penalties and sideline shenanigans. Appears management and teammates just got tired of his routine, but 207 yards, man that stings!
