RWB CFL podcast #267: Quarterback roulette and 1,000 other topics
Manage episode 434336576 series 2965425
OK, so the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast ins’t *quite* covering 1,001 news items, hot (or lukewarm) takes and predictions but hoo boy, is this league generating some serious fodder for chatter at the halfway point of the season.
First and foremost is the round of quarterback roulette in which most CFL teams are currently embroiled; more intrigue was added with the news that Nathan Rourke was released by the Atlanta Falcons and immediately re-signed by the BC Lions. Can Rourke’s reentry stop BC’s skid and reaffirm the Lions’ top-dog status in the West?
Also on the horizon is the expected return of Chard Kelly to the Toronto Argonauts, a morally dubious situation for team and league. Even more morally questionable is the rumour that new Edmonton Elks ownership will be reverting the team name utterly against the grain of the wider culture.
Some football actually happened up there in the Great White North, too, begging lots of questions going into the season’s second half, including:
- Trevor Harris or no, how far can the Saskatchewan Roughriders go with little-to-no running game?
- Similarly: Nathan Rourke or no, how far can BC go letting passing offenses move the ball at will?
- How long with the Calgary Stampeders, 4-0 at home and 0-5 on the road, maintain such an insane split?
- Are the Stamps and Toronto Argonauts better or worse than their win-loss records?
- What will become of Bo Levi Mitchell?
- Finally, could the 3-6 Winnipeg Blue Bombers actually crawl back into West contention?
All this plus picks and predictions for CFL Pick ‘Em, talk of this week’s (very scintillating) point spreads, and a few words on the importance of Kate Bierness.
The Rouge White & Bllue CFL Podcast: Ready for those second-half adjustments.
