Hardy, Lewis, Addison, Pimpleton is a pretty damn nice set of receivers, though Addison had a weird drop tonight.

Ottawa teams are always less than the sum of their parts.

 

Just a chronic culture of losing.

There are 4 teams that haven't won a Grey Cup since Ottawa did (2016) (BC, Edmonton, Hamilton, Saskatchewan). Of those, since Ottawa last appeared in a Grey Cup (2018) only Hamilton has even appeared in one.

That turnover epitomized this OTT team, watching the replay all the OTT players are celebrating, meanwhile Oullette is the only one hustling to make something happen.

That play was really only between two people at that point... It's almost impressive that a 250 LB Defensive Lineman was able to hold off a 200 LB RB as long as he did running with the ball... looking at the replay it looked like he only had a 3 or 4 yard head start and actually stretched it a bit before he started to gas.

When I watch Ouelette play, how can a back run for over 1,050 yards so far & look so useless doing it. He's really no threat as a back. Brady is going to catch & pass him unless Hogan ***** it all up with his playcalling. I still think Brady can be the leading rusher in the CFL.

Last year at least he seemed very feast and famine. He'd end up with 70 yards but how did he get there? a bunch of 2 yard carries, a couple decent runs in the 5-7 range and then something in the 30+ range. So you get one good drive out of him but the rest of the time he is stalling your offense. He seems to be a bit more consistent this year, but in this game... 18 carries for 53 yards and a long of 8 is rough... yeah he was running the QB Short Yardage package but that is still not great.

 

No doubt in my mind Brady ends up in front at the end of the season, his average is right around the other leaders but he's only been below that number once in the last 6 games, the LDC where he inexplicably only got 5 carries.  I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at 1400 yards on the year.

When i watch him, i see someone who is going to pay for the choices he made during his professional career as a football player and im not making light of that.

So Dru Brown will be available next season???? I'm predicting right now Crum gets the nod next year at the pivot spot

Brown is signed for next season but Crum will be a free agent.
