Toronto Argonauts vs Ottawa REBLACKS Week 14 Full Game 2024

thank you Kate and welcome to Ottawa everyone on the front end of a CFL triple header it's the Ottawa red blacks back in action of place they have not been beaten so far this year and looking forward to playing against the Toronto argonot after the longest road trip they've had in franchise history all the way out to Victoria BC and they are right back here at T place now Marshall Ferguson Dwayne Ford Clare Hannah at field level four us here throughout the afternoon to get you set in a triple header as Darius pick it it's rivalry week it seems like across the CFL but also Revenge week after what William stand back did well a Darius picking you're up that's it playing against the team for which he was the most outstanding defensive player in the East a year ago he looks to give them a taste of what he's brought to Ottawa this season and of course number one guy trying to get it done for the Toronto Argonauts their quarterback Chad Kelly making his third start of the Season as you heard the panel mention over 300 yds in each of the previous two Ryan Den witty trying to get his Club back on track after the loss of against the Hamilton Tiger Cats back on Labor Day Monday short week not a lot of practice Reps for the Toronto argonut and for Bob Dice Man he has been rolling 0 and one at home really believes in this group shaking up the roster a little bit this week as well alongside of course the general manager Shawn Burke changing out the running backs as rad is no longer with the club and Jamal Marl signed on to the roster but it'll be the Toronto Argonaut getting possession first as Toronto chose tails off the top of the coin toss it was heads Ottawa wins they deferred into the second half Toronto gets the football and will look to set the tone here early on as the Ottawa red blacks this year just one and one against the East they got a ton of football games against the east from now until the playoffs begin and it begins right now with Jan Grant on the return slick conditions at TV plays makes his way over to the 36 yd line and we get a chance to see Chad Kelly here in Ottawa [Applause] offside aut number 89 5yd penalty re kick well we'll have to wait to see Chad Kelly come because Chad Kelly was waving everybody back onto the sideline there Marco du was one of the heroes of touchdown Pacific for the Ottawa red blacks and always one of the best special teamers in the CFL little fired up to get this one going offside on the opening kickoff so he's got to run again [Music] yeah Argo looking to improve their field position here obviously by taking that penalty pushing the red blacks back a little bit I'd love to make a special teams unit run twice when I've got Jan Grant back there as well give a second touch they were at the 36 yd line after the initial return Jan Grant is standing right now with his heels on the 25 yd line so at 11y return from where he stands now they'll already have better field position let's see what Richard Leone can do this kickoff he hammers it right down the middle gr catches it at his own 22 yd line crosses that 36 and much more and it works out for the Argonauts all the way up to the 47 yd line as we see Chad Kelly in action against the Hamilton Tiger Cats four days ago yeah and obviously positives and negatives in that ball game for Chad Kelly early on the negative of an interception thrown in that game but overall Kelly ends up completing 80% of his passes throws that touchdown pass that you just saw to devarus Daniels using his legs a little bit to get things done so starting to settle in but as mentioned sort of that Rocky start first and 10 Kelly gets hit as he throws outside incomplete looking for David hunger as they give him a nice little smack to get going here's the rest of the Argonauts offense that surrounds Kelly yeah Riot Hunter is out of the lineup on that offensive line preparing for the birth of his first child Dylan gfin gets that start at left guard in the receiving Court devaris Daniels had been a game time decision he's out Tommy Neil to get a few more reps out of the slot as a result the Argonauts in those icy white uniforms here on the road will play second and 10 after the incompletion Kelly to the outside rips this one it's complete and Damonte Coy gets his first touch of the ball game as they'll spotted just shy of the first down marker Coy line it up out wide here his traditional position to the boundary side well they were ready to go quickly offensively here Dwayne as we see Coy's work against Brandon Dandridge one of the best coverage defensive backs in the CFL Kelly wanted to go quickly they didn't and now it looks like the punting unit comes off the sideline as Mickey Donovan the Special Teams coordinator sends them out late as we see devaris Daniels wandering around in the rain at TD Place yeah an opportunity here around Midfield with John Hagerty who's has been so good this year in terms of his placement of the ball really get a field position Advantage early on seven kicks inside the 10 this year leads the CFL this one won't but a good job by the coverage unit to make sure there's minimal return on the play out comes Drew Brown for the first time here at home back in the starting lineup last couple of weeks and three game-winning drives and looking forward to seeing what he can do in front of this home crowd where he is really excited them throughout this season yeah obviously finding that combination of both stability and depth quite frankly at the the quarterback position has been a big part of ottawa's success this season 390 passing yards in week 12 of gates BC did Brown his first throw will be right here on first down underneath and it is complete it goes to the hands of the new edition kayn laurn as he's part of this starting offense yeah the guys blocking for for brown and laurn include Center Eric star Sala has taken over that position s against s on the injured list and yeah as mentioned big news out of Ottawa this week making a change at the running back spot Rock Armstead fourth in the league in rushing but he's moved out cayb lber takes over second down at five after the completion of laon over the top it is complete Justin Hardy running free through the secondary now 63 catches on the year came in fifth in the CFL and Justin Hardy has been so consistent over these last couple of years for the red blacks in that receiving core and anticipate obviously with the injuries that they've had to that group for him to take on a bigger role at top you see laurn doing a nice job in Blitz pickup four receivers to the left of ground they hand it off inside after a gain of 26 to Justin Hardy this one goes for just a couple of yards on the play is the Argonauts front stacking it up and here's the starters for the double blue defense yeah defensive line continues to be led by Jake Serna obviously one of the top defensive tackles in the league over the years guy who started his career here in Ottawa Isaac darkangelo gets the start at middle linebacker this week on the back end DeShaun Amos another guy who is a game time decision but he's going to go at Half Back St Brown hits his back foot wide open sliding down and sliding out of the hands of the intended receiver that time as it was Eli stove who had a big game in touchdown Pacific eight catches 73 yards but wet conditions couldn't bring it in yeah stove getting an opportunity with Jaylen akan brillan Addison and khil pimpleton all out of the lineup the Richie Leon comes out to kick it away these two teams trading punts early on on the front end of our triple header of CFL action on a Super Saturday as J and Grant trapped down from behind and a great special teams tackle there by the Ottawa red blacks one of the best coverage units in the Canadian football league as see David uner and the rest of the offense including kadim KY can he get on track here one of the leading rushers in the Canadian the Labor Day classic it hands him his third loss as he's 16 and3 now after 19 starts and the guy that you see just ahead of him ran red and white while he was in black and gold last week and got the game-winning drive to hand Kelly that third loss yeah they Bo didn't really like Chad having a better winning percentage did everything he could to make sure he sure did he could hold him off as Hamilton got the victory but Toronto in action here this one high in the intercepted and racing to the end zone touchdown reflex it's Damon [Applause] web well this is exactly the issue we talked about last week that interception out of the gate led to points for Hamilton a week ago in this one even more directly for Ottawa you'll see David urer the intended receiver on this one knew right away that this one was troubl as he's just trying to get a hand on it to break it up web comes in leading the Canadian football league in defensive stops opens game with a rather massive pick [Applause] six just his second interception of the year the web has contributed in so many different ways throughout this season 11 games played two sacks seven tackles for loss which leads the CFL four pass knockdowns at a second interception as web spins defensive play by him from his halfback position now watch on this play the intended receiver is David hunger it's a hitch screen you got two guys try to block web recognized it splits the block and then with the ball overthrown comes up with the pick hey did it all on that play got to think that's not going to be a lot of fun for Tommy Neil to Rie and Danny to watch back in film study is they get split this one a low rolling kick that dribbles its way to Jan Grant as he that's across the 50 to the 55 and already into Ottawa territory so fantastic field position here once again for the Toronto Argonauts as Chad Kelly three career pick sixes now after having that one his last one also against the red blacks it was Caro Brooks that got him August 13th 2023 not cting playoffs huh yeah yeah Mark andan dequa had a slightly significant interception as Kelly's Adventures his return to the lineup continue looks to throw once again this time a high SL and intercepted backto back picks for the red blacks defense and Brandon Dandridge has Ottawa on the other side of Midfield and Kelly is way off the Mark here early on well the otwa red black so happy to have Brandon Dandridge back in their lineup watching out wide Tommy Neil the white out Brandon dandri up at top of your screen that's actually angerer coming in behind the intended target ball thrown well behind him easy picking for a ball ball Hawk like Brandon dandre Drew Brown will look to throw here quick little play action flips it out into the flats and immediately turnning north south tackled by Robbie Smith all the way out there near the sideline that's a solid gain on first down Andre Miller big body into the fold there but again we look back at the interception there is Drew brown high efficiency as we've seen throughout the year yeah getting Andre Miller involved early as mentioned he and stove came into the lineup last week with the injuries having piled up in that receiving Court 62 230 pounder leborn into the game once again here as they'll pick up the first down on second and a couple gain of about five on the play as Jamal Morrow signed onto the roster but expect to see leborn primarily get the touches today standing next to Drew Brown and labam spent a little bit of time in Edmonton after being released National Football League last season his rights traded in the off seon to the Toronto Argonauts along with Jake cesna ironically in exchange for Curley gettens Jr released by Toronto finds himself here in Ottawa an opportunity to play receivers to the left of BR gets it out quickly it is complete it's Eli St gets up to the 30 yd line gain of six it'll be second down and four here for Drew Brown as he's making his first ever start against Toronto 13 career starts first against the Argos and Drew Brown looking like he's in a pretty good Rhythm here in the early going another hitch look there from Ottawa as you see them getting it blocked up with Miller and ryes out front fourman Rush here from The Argonaut BR gets it out Qui Franklin knocks it away trying to get the football to Justin Hardy once again but it can't be completed so El comes the field goal unit led by Lewis Ward and here you see nice break to the football Benji Franklin getting a hand in to make the play much to the pleasure of his co- defensive coordinator Kevin I on the sidelines 37 yards away here for Lewis Ward he's got 37 made field goals so far this season first in the Canadian Football League I think the red blacks would like a little bit more six points in the score zone but when they need it ward has been money for them throughout the year and he knocks this one through as well 38 made field goals on the season with the Ottawa ggs Alum undrafted in 2017 but continues to pay dividends and put points on the board here in Ottawa every opportunity that he gets an early Advantage here early on everything coming out a little bit high with a wet football in Ottawa yeah there you see the the hit short pass looking for hungerer sails on him Damon Webb makes him pay and again you know I mean Marshall you can speak to that as a former college quarterback handling that wet ball early in the game it's so hard to get comfortable with it and once you have a couple of Misses like that it's in your head and now you got to crawl over the top not just on the interceptions it's Ralph Holly in the middle of that return unit the big man defensive tackle picks up this kick return but yeah as Kelly comes out to be able to get control of the football and put it exactly where you need it that look from Ryan dwy almost screamed maybe we go with the high efficiency with Cam Dukes maybe and Damon web some huge plays of course with the pick six and 19 defensive stops you talked about leading the CFL in terms of Team percentage of defensive stops yeah and you see down at the bottom what we mean when we talk specifically about stops basically any play that results in no gain or a loss for the offensive team be it knock down interception sack tackle for loss Etc right down the pipe it is k Cary High stepping crosses the 40 yd line and carry is off and running you might think the Argos want to lean on their CFL best rushing attack 1172 yards per game well I love this call at this time given the way that things had started off nice block there by the rookie Kevin matal the slot coming into the formation using his physicality but yeah carrye has been so good in this ground game that why not if Chad Kelly is struggling a little bit right to find his Groove kadim KY is a pretty good security blanket to have 724 rush yards coming in third in the Canadian football league and high stepping through eventually brought down by Elijah McGee the corner who had to fall off and make the play but they go hurry up and they go to the ground attack completely different than what we had seen early on where they were going slow and throwing the football a whole bunch in this first quarter now Kelly the throw and drops the football picks it up tries to make something with his feet and he's wrapped up on second down just an awkward clunky play there from the argonut not sure if kadine KY bumped Kelly and the ball popped out of his hands Dwayne but it will result in the kicking unit coming out with lahu yeah good reaction by Chad Kelly when things went a little sideways here and you see just mishandling the ball as he brought it up looking to throw he's just going to take what he can get which won't be enough Frankie Griffin the man that made the play so after Lewis Ward knocked it through from 37 theam highy Lau third the Canadian Football League 90.9% success rate on field goals this year we look to add his own 37 yd field goal as hyr Lau splits the uprights and the Argonauts against all adversity with their offense struggling to find any rhythm they are on the board as one of the best in the Canadian in football league over the last decade continues to have success kicking this season 103 red blacks lead Hannah has more yeah Marshall and it's not very often that you see a team part ways with the fourth leading rusher in the league but that's exactly what the Ottawa red blacks did earlier this week when they released riquel Armstead their running back now Bob dice didn't want to share all the details but he said it was in the best interest of the team he said Armstead and the red blacks tried to work things out but in the end it didn't so now as as a result there is going to be big competition for the number one running back now right now today Kaylin leborn is starting but he's been on the red blacks roster rather for about a month he was at the 49ers training camp about a year ago but this is his very first CFL game now on Tuesday Ottawa signed Jamal Morrow who spent the last three seasons with Saskatchewan rushing for over, 16600 yards now dice says Morrow has the CFL experience while leor is more familiar with the red blacks and what's exciting both will have an opportunity take over this Gap in offense that's opened up thank you Claire as this one should have been intercepted by the Argonauts as flying back from his halfback spot was Mark Milton incomplete onto the turf so a little miscommunication there as well but yeah leborn into the mix here and trying to use him as much as they can as Dominique ryes just came out a little bit different angle maybe than Drew Brown was thinking yeah it looked like their they had their signals crossed there as ryes broke it off towards the sideline Brown was leading him a little more vertically as you suggested the f was worse than Benji Franklin your fellow DB going I would have caught that as he stared down Mark Milton at the end of that play second and 10 after the incompletion brown looks to his right completes this one shy the first down marker as it will be Nick Marner was a game time decision but the rookie second overall pick from the 2024 draft all 66 of him makes a catch yeah Marner just sitting down essentially as a check down on this one underneath coverage as the Argos are sitting back knowing second and long situation they'll give that up every time come forward make a playar Daniel Robert prer into the lineup and he's the one who gets credit for the tackle there so Richie Leone sends a wobbling spiral down to Jian Grant at his own 16 yd line coverage unit right there once again huge pop down the field silus Stewart makes the playart they' got those backup linebackers guys like Gary Johnson Silas Stewart great special teams body types little bit of experience in the league that really understand the kicking game those are the guys you're seeing making these impact plays in coverage for Ottawa in the early going they have built their roster with depth and players that understand special teams and it shows on plays like that as Kelly gets this one out Monte Coy safety blanket at times we were told see from a Darius picket told us that this week said Co is the guy that they go to so consistently speaking of picket here he is with the rest of the defensive starters yeah Kenny on again getting the start at defensive end with Bryce Carter out of the lineup Davon Taylor in for the injured dvon Santos Knox at middle linebacker doing a solid job in there keep an eye on DeAndre Lamont from his halfback spot right up there with a Darius pick it for the team lead in defensive plays so far this season Kelly on second and short incomplete has had an open receiver that time in Kadeem kry in the flats couldn't connect and a two and out here for the Toronto Argonauts as Kelly continues to try and find the handle on that CFL ball today well I'll tell you Marsh one of the things going through my mind in watching the first few series for the Argos in this ball game is going back to last season right watching Chad Kelly all last year one of the things that stood out was he seemed to have this unshakable confidence didn't matter if something went wrong bounced back came right back gunslinging and then there was the Montreal game in the East final had that pick six early That Shook him and he never really recovered from it and you wonder if we're seeing a little bit of the same thing here as Brandon Dandridge returns this one and Kelly goes to work on the sideline C Dukes throwing alongside him as well you know and again like Chad Kelly has played on Plenty of big stages like it you know his confidence is not made up he's been very very effective not intimidated by anything but again you just for a guy just did his third Game of the Year everybody else is in mid-season form if if that's in his head a little bit too two for six 16 yd and two interceptions right now for Chad Kelly Drew BR is on point on the other side as he slings that one out on a little bubble screen and F rimai having conversation with the offensive lineman saying please don't hold me like that I'm trying to get around the corner like Flo does so often but it is complete and good for a gain of five see and Andre Miller using that size as a blocker helping Dominic rymes get up field with a hard count here takes the snap looks right timing throw and it is caught wow that's a tough one for Justin Hardy a lot of the time he's flying between zones and settling down making catches but that was every little bit of effort needed against a collision with tar mcf and desun Amos right there as well and watch the tail end of this route how hard he kind of works back towards the football see him bend it back towards the line of scrimmage helping out his quarterback a little bit recognizing that WID side throw the time it takes for the ball to get there the DBS are closing prer on the coverage tracking him down so Robert prer active early on is brown with full protection loads it up wants to take a shot down the right rail up for grab incomplete looking for Dominique rmes and Benji Franklin locking them down for the second time today yeah Benji Franklin doing a nice job in coverage as for Drew Brown just looking to give one of the best receivers in the Canadian Football League an opportunity to make a play closest to the top of your screen that match up right down the sideline ryes isn't in behind him Franklin's got that tremendous speed but ryes with a size Advantage down there and that's what true Brown is banking on with that throw hoping ryes can box him out come down with the rebound five or six inch Advantage for Dominique ryes in that matchup but can't haul it down as Bob dice is on the field right before the snap comes up on second and 10 some confusion from the red blacks offensively Ottawa and so the red blacks will call a timeout well feeling like a midfielder in a pretty good place Bob dice certainly doesn't want to squander that with a wasted play or a penalty love the call from Tommy Condell the offensive coordinator as soon as you cross Midfield you got a little bit of momentum Chad Kelly struggling here at the end of the first quarter a little bit of a drifting Breeze at their backs so he decides to take a shot and now it's the always difficult well we we tried to cash in on the first and 10 home run second and 10 let's try to maximize this possession they call timeout regroup four receivers to the left of brown against the fan Rush here Brown steps up lone receiver on the backside and it is Dominique rmes winning that one-on-one battle this time with Benji Franklin on a big dig route and a huge first down for the red blacks offense yeah the D deep in only receiver out to that right side is ryes similar kind of thing I mean this is going to be a contested catch but Drew Brown has that faith in Dominic rymes in that situation you see him Shield the ball with his body get the hands out in front so that he's not going his catch isn't going to be affected by the contact come down with that one to move the sticksy mo former lion just like Dominique Grimes said he was looking forward to playing against Mr head topper here this week Dominique Grimes nickname is Drew br action now on his back foot up in the air incomplete a flag does come down and will they say that Roy Meier was there a little bit early pass interference Toronto number nine automatic first down and kroer our referee here this afternoon makes the call me doesn't like it let's get a look and my initial thought on this one was that Meier had a pass to the ball and is trying to get to it but we'll see right here yeah look it's like his eyes are on the ball but the body contact I think comes [Music] first he was making the argument that he was playing the football and he was but he still got there early and hit the body right so Mark Milton has a conversation on the sideline with argon's head coach Ryan DWI he as Drew Brown gets a fresh set of downs once again first and 10 flips it out to trying to get Hardy out in space and Hardy wishes he would have gotten free of Robbie Smith on that one great open field Tackle by the former Golden Hawk defensive end yeah Hardy narrowly avoiding that first hit by Benji Franklin Franklin in fact gets a piece of him forces him off stride Robbie Smith there to clean up the number of times Robbie Smith is at the sideline making tackles is always mindboggling for me the way he turns and runs and covers so much ground as brown on second and N in the closing stages of this first quarter will load it up to the end zone double move into the back of the end zone Dominique rmes the intended receiver but three different double blue Defenders right there and the field goal unit comes out incomplete third and [Music] N there you see Rhymes lined up tight to the [Music] formation a little bit of a scene but Milton does a nice job getting over top of that 20 yds away for Lewis Ward who's already knocked one through earlier on last week raising his scoring total as we said to 127 points this season coming in second leading score in Otway history he's now got 849 points just behind Jerry Oregon who set the Ottawa standard from 1971 to 83 with over 1,400 as the CFL on CTV starts today rolling on it's the banjo bull the Riders and the bombers coming up after this one and of course Calgary and Evington but the CTV schedule out and ready for everyone to enjoy Coast to Coast looking forward to seeing some of those playoff games available as well the Eastern semifinal and of course the big show the great Cup on CTV here in 2024 as Chad Kelly Fades this one over the top up for grabs Makai poke and he's somehow held on to it on the final play of the first quarter it's 41 yds Pok shaken up a little bit on the play but Chad Kelly dropped it in over the top here in the wet and after a first quarter with a pair of interceptions he only had 16 yards before that completion power and he finds the range Makai poke makes the play great crowd in the rain here in the nation's capital and great defense from the red blacks early on Damon web the lone major on defense to get things going for red blacks as they get in leborn to the lineup haven't seen Jamal morrow in the back field yet but really the story has been the Toronto Argonauts off defensively and the way that Chad Kelly has been trying to feel out that first quarter it really does feel like they should be leaning on kadem krey right now until the final play of that first quarter where Chad finally drops one into Makai poke for a big game yeah and maybe not a perfect throw but for Chad Kelly I love this throw in terms of the confidence almost the the irreverence of yeah whatever couple picks fumble the ball in the first half I can still make this play this is who Chad Kelly was last year a little bit of swagger to make that throw and Makai pulk certainly helps out with a fantastic leap and catch unbelievable grab by poke there as we begin the second quarter Kelly and The Argonaut offense will play from the Ottawa 29 and poke gets Another Touch here open field tackle made that time looks like DeAndre Lamont was the one who wrapped him up and brought him down but Kelly getting into a little bit more of a rhythm as in these wet weather games feels like typically with quarterbacks you end up struggle struggle struggle and then you get a drive or two where the ball couldn't come out of your hand better this feels like that might be that for Chad Kelly right now Brian dwy calling the shots on the Argo sideline see what he does here on First and 10 Kelly looks to his right now looks to try and take off and run gets sandwiched Cleon Lang was right there turning him around and it was Aiden John finishing it off as well but the veteran Lang still doing it pushing the pocket right down the middle and career game number 150 in the CFL for Cleon Lang you see him directing traffic a little bit going from a stand up here this nice spin move to get off the block fall back into the middle come up with the play long time Toronto argon doing it against his former team second sack of the season for the big man Cleon L pressure on this time Kelly has to get it out picked off again it's Damon web and he's on the Run Kelly back pedaling he gets blocked they'll turn around trying to find a body can K car catch Damon web no touchdown Red Blocks now you remember on the second series of the game and I said Damon web had a big pick six this was a big pick six taking points off the board for the Toronto Argonauts as they finally had some momentum going offensively Damon web again the league leader in defensive [Applause] stops takes that deflected ball from Makai PK look at his guys getting out front to make blocks and escort him to the house how what a darus pick it wanted to turn around and get a back block him wait no we can't do that anymore so turned his eyes upfield almost got in the way of Damon web Chad Kelly three interceptions going in the first 17 minutes of this football game and that one in behind intended receiver but what a play bouncing off the knee of Damon web and able to get it back up into his hands both of his interceptions both of his pick sixes because he's got two of them today have come from juggling a as number 12 rifles it high and Away Makai poke can't bring it down leave the rest to Damon web all the way to the end zone for 95 come back to the nation's capital yeah give it to him Spider-Man Damon spins his web and Chad Kelly gets caught in it for the second time today yeah ball gets up high P can't come down with this one off his hand web with a little J of his own but manages to squeeze it couple of great blocks from the rest of that defensive unit to get web all the way to the house Baron miles has got his guys going Damon web the only Ottawa player to ever have two pick sixes in the same game what a moment for him as there's a flag down for a block in the back here Jan gr returns it out near the 35 yd line but expect that one to go backwards and so back onto the field goes Damon web and the hardest part about pick six is obviously psychologically for any quarterback block Toronto number 26 you got to go right back on the field first down Toronto and the problem is for Chad Kelly when you've already thrown two pick sixes in the first 17 18 minutes of this football game it's really difficult to start building forward when you're just going back on the field way yeah yeah but it you think about some of the the greats over time and I mean one of the ones that always has stood out to me was Danny mcmanis was his ability to put any mistake out of his mind right like Danny was such a great even Keel guy never too high never low when something went wrong and that's kind of what chat Kelly needs to Channel right now he's got to get the Gunslinger going and try and forget about some of the errors here early on in this this football game 1238 remaining in the second quarter still lots of time left but 20 to3 is the advantage for Ottawa off of two pick sixes from Damon web and easy high percentage little dump off here for Kelly to pul be letting him ease his way back into things here like the big catch at the end of the first quarter might have earned some favor from Chad Kelly lots of attention from aai poke as Kelly looks down the middle of the field this one completed is David anger making the catch Brandon dandri right there and they will move the sticks on a little comeback route Cur to anger good enough you see anger come from behind on this one curl around and work back to the football coming back into that hole between Defenders that a favorable spot I wasn't sure how that one was going to go as between his momentum coming back to the ball and being driven by The Defender as he caught it wondered if it might cost him the first down but it did not under to the sideline Jan Grant into the ball game here as they look to throw a quick little Bub screen to J you heard the sideline from the red black screaming that Jian was in the game didn't decide to use him as a decoy so Kelly rips it outside and goes for a loss yeah and we've talked about this before when you you have package type players like J and Grant is finding that balance between plays where they get the ball in that package and plays where they don't quite frankly because the defenses obviously are very focused on a player like that when he comes into the game Baron miles and his sta all over at a loss of seven so second and 17 Kelly with a pass there to Richie Darius pick it right there the former Argonaut asked to Darius this week about some of the smack talk he's likely to get into after plays like this you say well everybody likes to talk when those pads start click clacking all of a sudden people stop talking Dar is certainly a guy who plays the game with a bit of an EDG but he says he doesn't say much out there just plays like that where yeah he'll let his play do the speaking for him in to help out as the Ottawa defense active early on not just web Lamont and this man Brandon dandri will return the punt from the 30 as Devonte tman with injury and so dandri takes over the return responsibilities and doing a solid job up near the 48 Y Line of the red blacks pick it there watching on is Elijah McGee there was a big shoulder in the back of Richie s CFL fan knows his work with the green Riders here last season nearly a th000 yards good out of the back field as well into the end zone a handful of time they were splitting carries with Frankie Hixon and others as well last year but still very very productive and now he's here in Ottawa yeah certainly good signing for Ottawa they're looking to make that change you know I thought to myself we might see Morrow in the return game was surprised to see Brandon dandri back there part of that may be because Morrow is now getting some snaps on offense for the Red Blocks lebor will stand on the sidelines this time as they get it to Marlin his first touch here and now the ball pops out and it's mercifully recovered Maro adjusting to the wet Rock in the nation's capital but Miller all over at that time and so it goes for a gain of six or seven and you see a little bit of the burst of Morrow sneaking to the outside there nice Sho string Tackle by Jonathan Jones to trip him up working at various points this year middle linebacker with Whit mcmo playing over at the weak side primarily here today in Ottawa Drew Brown looks to throw on second and short rips it out gets it into the hands of Mo puts the shoulder down and a first down out of the back field saw so much of that saskat when his brown peels himself up off the TD Place Turf and Jamal Morrow who in the whole running back Shuffle of the offseason had signed with the Calgary Stampeders but failed his physical there see Drew Brown Take taken down hard there by those little things by Brown though to set the pocket and then get more depth and just try to stay away fromal to get it out of his hands he does he gets a first down steps up and pass protection they get it down theot it'ser head to the end the red black Score once again 50 yd from Drew Brown to Andre Miller and the advantage expands for the red [Applause] block big throw from Drew Brown great catch and run by Miller watch the block here from Jamal Morrow standing in there taking on the blitz giving his quarterback time to make that throw Andre Miller let's go first t to the crib ah what a ball M Lobster Lewis Ward kicks it through it's time to cut a wood cookie here in AWA 1662 230 of Andre Miller at of main no Lobster needed on his trip to the end zone here is the big block from Jamal Morrow against quiny Mo and then Miller does the rest way yeah Miller we've talked about his size he shows off some speed but Jamal Morrow standing in Mo's got a big run at him you knew it was going to be a collision in the back field but Morrow held his ground an important block maintaining the Integrity of the pocket for Drew Brown on that one the Argonauts get possession back down 273 not yet halfway through the second quarter the return game battles continue and come out at the end of this play couple of bodies rolling their way down around the 35 referee Tim kroer will sort it out after the play there's two misconduct fouls against 34 Toronto and 42 Ottawa they offset first down a couple of Canadian linebackers getting into a James Peter out of Ottawa and cfal exem at the end of the play The Argonaut special teams unit least penalized in the Canadian Football League just 13 penalties coming in all right Ben witty trying to find some answers over on that Argonaut sideline two pums holding on to it Kelly can't get rid of the football and can't get back to the original line of scrimmage either that'll go down as a sack as it looks like yeah 96 Mike Wakefield gets another as he's now tied his career high from last season of six sacks and has 27 in his career yeah Mike Wakefield much of his career I think has been one of the underrated interior defensive lineman in this league but now as you see the the numbers dribbles back to K who just Chucks it up in the air downfield incomplete if he got a clean snap he might have had a shot at Damonte Coy but the snap came out low Kelly picked it up felt the pressure knew where he wanted to go pre- snap and threw it up hoping he could find Coy incomplete yeah you alluded to it earlier Marsh the idea that Coy may be the security blanket of sorts for Chad Kelly certainly a guy in whom has confidence to go and make a play and in that instance throwing it up hoping Coy might be able to go get it that one just Long John Ha will put this one away nearly blocked that time by James Peter coming through the middle and now the return for Brandon dandri there is a down as well as the Ottawa offense comes back out and hoping to get one of their better players back soon Clare Hannah has more on the return potentially of Jaylen Acklin yeah Marshall and it was exactly two weeks ago that all of TD Place held their breath as jayen Acken sat motionless on the field for 10 minutes he was eventually taken to the hospital via ambulance but there was hundreds of messages of support coming in from the CFL head coach Bob dice told me that there was even members of Athletico Ottawa who stopped him in the hallways here and just asked for an update on how aklan was doing but the good news is earlier this week the red blacks were was back on the practice field and Spirits were immediately up Drew Brown said having him around is so good for the team he can give advice to the younger guys but dice says they're very cautious when it comes to concussions and they anticipate he could be ready for day one practice next week if he continues to progress guys awesome Claire and just great to see Jaylen at field level walking around talking to people being in the building as Drew Brown would love to get him back and brown on this play gets it out of his hands breaking two tackles now three and another great yards after catch effort from kin [Applause] lebor well we've seen it all from the otwa running backs in this ball game everything you got to do in the CFL running the ball hard catching the ball some terrific blocks right there laurn making some people miss laurn doing a good job in the back field and brown using his own legs this time plunges forward first and 10 already in Toronto territory here with 616 remaining in the second quarter 273 on the front end of a CFL triple header next one coming up for you the banjo Bowl on CTV as the former Blue Bombers quarterback Drew Brown No Doubt will be watching that one once he's done his postgame responsibilities in the red blacks locker room now member in Ottawa has another completion underneath Justin hard makes the grab that time and Isaac darkangelo getting the start at middle linebacker wraps him up yeah darkangelo getting that opportunity this week add another bigger body to that Lineback in core winon mcmanis still out of the lineup a hurry up and wait routine here from the Ottawa red blacks Fraser soic and Royce Meier trying to communicate the call to the argonut defense and out side sliding down on the wet Turf incomplete Dominique ryes and Benji Franklin which arguably has been the battle of the day one on one here between Toronto and Ottawa yeah they've each had their moments in this one that one Rhymes coming in from the [Music] outside see as he's trying to settle to catch that one just body stopped feet kept going Drew Brown under unlike Chad Kelly earlier today at least the error doesn't turn into a major one that goes the opposite direction for six as this football for Jan Grant rolls all the way into the end zone Richie Leone goes for a jog but it'll be picked up there by Grant and take a couple moreon for the red blacks as they near a 30 point first half Damon web with those two pick sixes here against Chad Kelly and incredible to see some of the efforts that he is kned up with remember that Emanuel Davis game back in 2015 for the Tiger Cats Byron Parker never afraid to go get himself an interception of course Vernon Mitchell up there at the top which I I was told Once Upon a Time Vernon Mitchell might have taken a run of my man Dwayne Ford well just say the three uh the three sixes were the Highlight for vered Mitchell didn't end well for ver now he was a good player Rich Danny checked down over the middle flags are down it's a first down for now barring the penalty and it'll go against the Argonauts offense legal block hands to the face Tonto number 64 it's 10yd penalty remains first down so Dylan gfin stepping in at that left guard position as the starter today with Ryan Hunter out of the lineup gets flag and here you'll see gfin right away working against Mike Wakefield Wakefield rips inside Gin got the hands up on him takes away a 12 yd gain sets them back 10 yds first and 20 from Toronto's 30 they'll go to the ground reluctant to use it it feels like at times today but Kadeem KY continuing to turn out some solid yardage as he loses his bucket on that one after a gain of eight and you get into that challenging situation they haven't used the Run game and then as time goes on if that deficit doesn't get smaller time becomes your enemy in terms of any desire to try and get kadim Cary more involved pressure look here from the Red Box gets it O hwon Danny makes the grab and they force him to get out of his hand rally to the football and Tackle short of the sticks yeah I mean it all fits together you've got that Blitz going knowing they need so many yards for a first down well we're going to get to him before any route can get long enough going to get to the quarterback before any of his receivers can reach those that first down marker andure tackling there that occasion safety Alonzo Andi leading the way ensures that the Argos have to punt the football again both snap comes back from Adam GT The Long Snapper of the Argonauts but hauled in by hty and great downfield coverage Jonathan Jones playing at week side linebacker makes the play as crave presents the next chapter in the Batman Sega starring Academy Award nominee Colin frell the penguin an HBO original limited series streamed September 19th only on crave didn't Colin farell used to play like heartthrob type roles I mean he's versatile yeah he's like you you know well kayin leborn in the back field take a look here but flip it out Justin Hardy blocking down the field immediately and great speed around the corner that time from Justin Hardy it's a gain of 10 where will they spot it is it going to move the chains and it will first down red blacks as we hit the three minute warning for the Ottawa red blacks coming home from long travel all the way out to play at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria 6 days rest two more than Toronto paying off 283 at the 3 minute warning on with Chad Kelly and whoop who Paul lapo Lis is here of course to talk about the Bano Bowl it's all coming up defense for the Ottawa red blacks been strong right from the very beginning as now they get it into Justin Hardy's hands and he gets a first down but there is a flag down flying in from the back judge here holding a number 15 10y penalty remains first down the outside they get Dominique Grimes unfortunately as they went straight to Justin Hardy I don't blame him for trying to find a thousand different ways to get it in Hardy's hands as well yeah I like the uh the play call here rhymes right at the bottom of your screen responsible for blocking the defensive end got the hands on the outside but receiver runs always a big part of Tommy Kell's offense he loses a pretty important guy in brillan Addison and a big shot down the scam here as Addison out of the lineup but ryes trying to make the yardage back that he just lost from that last penalty and does so with one of the more difficult catches we've seen of the day for 26 yards yeah always admire the courage of receivers knowing that part of the field you're going to get smashed as soon as you catch the ball but able to keep his focus on the rock as Royce Meier immediately lowers the boom ryes holds on for a big first down grab the most rewarding kind of throws you can have as a quarterback right there for Drew Brown he loved it as they backside screen this time get to the fullback and it's Anthony gosin rumbling his way for a first down so Tommy Condell we've seen a little Justin Hardy direct snap we've seen Rhymes down the seam and now they get the fullback involved yeah mixing things up a little bit gos the far left side of your screen lines up as a tight end pretends to lose his block and then just slips out there the screen e different receiver for the Ottawa red blacks here today a koses performance from his former Protege Drew Brown leaning on the defense but making some great throws like he just did to R what can he do here on First and 10 gets it out to R once again trying to get away from tackers but brought down Fraser soic finished it off with Isaac darkangelo there Anthony Goslin the veterans the Canadian football league and everybody loves it when the fullback gets a touch Dwayne they really do Marshall not just me second rounder 18th overall back in 2017 out of sherbrook all seven years of his career here in Ottawa and no doubt a locker room [Music] favorite round against the fan Rush gets it out as he gets hit and it is up for grabs for a moment but incomplete Brown got hit from both sides those defensive ends from the Argonauts lead the CFL and pass rush win rate coming around the corner and Jake serda is lined up on the outside on this one top of your [Music] screen Franklin might have had a shot at it if he stayed up on his feet but falls to the turf 51 yard attempt here from Lewis Ward Richie Leone is the holder J is the Snapper they get it back and down and up and wow in the rain with the wind swirling at TD place in Ottawa Louis Ward you remember the consecutive field goals ma streak and how many points he's put up over the last couple of Seasons here for Ottawa but he's been getting better and better at hammering the Deep ball not yet Sergio Castile with a couple of 60 yers in a game but Lewis is working his way there and doing a heck of a job yeah when you look at the success rate of field goal kickers in in this era of the Canadian Football League I mean the fact is you need a guy who's money in order to compete leis ward has been that for the red blacks throughout his career Tommy Neil the intended receiver brings it in Brandon dandr get credit for the tackle there Frankie Griffin and Tommy Neil have a conversation about University of Texas San Marcos and McMaster similarities and differences yes compare and contrast the halftime show coming up with analysis of this one and a little over a minutes time but Chad Kelly would like to put some points on the board before we get there another completion and once again close to a first down they'll spot it but the 51 yd line yard and a half two yds away Toronto goes quickly back to the line of scrimmage here Kelly gets them sorted out live at the line haven't heard much from maai poke over the last couple of series they'll go back to him oh actually it's David rer on the outside thought they were going slant to poke but there's working that boundary as quick as they can right now and they move the sticks once again yeah and I think taking advantage the fact that Ottawa sitting back a little bit not wanting to give up a big one here late in the half draw content recognizing they feel there's enough time on the clock to take a bunch of short ones here flying in from that boundary Bennett Williams first year out of Oregon and brings down Chad Kelly for the [Applause] sack Bennett Williams became a little bit of odd man out in the secondary you see him coming off that right Edge pressure on WIS and down goes Kelly Daven tayor in at middle linebacker for Javon Santos knocks and backto back sacks will end the Argonauts push for [Applause] points Daven Taylor standing up his middle linebacker [Music] spot don't give off a single bring it out unblocked man straight through to the quarterback they turned up the heat there a little bit I think Ottawa got tired of giving up all those short passes underneath decided to take away some of Chad Kelly's Time Miles said that's enough of that big kick here from hay Brandon dandri instructed right before the kick by Bob di don't let it go into the end zone no singles oh now he's just going to run horizontal horizontal try to stay out of that end zone and he barely does 27 seconds left and a 57 yd punt from hagy who been ripping the laces off the football here this [Music] season and here you wish a little bit from an auttaa perspective you know 31 to3 you got a bit of a cushion obviously but you're trying not to give up that point you either needed to get a couple yards on that return or get a little more time off the clock right now you're you're nervous that you're in safety territory Drew Brown already over two 200 yd on the day in this first half and now has to operate for the first time deep backed up against his own goal line with 27 seconds remaining and a 313 Advantage a little bit of game management perhaps here for the red blacks see if they can Pound The Rock get some Breathing Room bring it out to about the 5 yd line this time [Music] Chad Kelly difficult first half and watches on wondering what he has to do to try and get into the end zone here for the Argonauts just a single field goal produced so far in this ball game yeah turnovers the turnovers on their own a huge story but the fact that two of them have been pick sixes cashed in by Damon web speaks volumes about the 28 Point Auto [Music] burn the play clock as far down as they possibly can and laurn gets the carry wrapped up but it doesn't matter that's the end of the first half so Ottawa escapes after being backed up in their own end and gets saluted by the red blacks home crowd that has not seen them lose on this field this season as many wins here at TD place as they've had over the last several years five victories 5 and one and Damon Webb is a big part of the reason why they might be able to get to six wins here at TD place this season couple of Majors off of interceptions Chad Kelly a little off from Mark with a wet football and Webb has certainly taken advantage let's go down to Clare Hannah who's standing alongside means that Ottawa after they deferred at the coin toss will receive to open things up here in the second half of our opener three CFL games on a Super Saturday as now it is a huge return across the 40 to the 42 yd line and Drew Brown a look at his first half of action and being really really aggressive down the field a couple of times and it was paying off in those intermediate zones right yeah open things up a little bit underneath for Drew brown but couple of big strikes along the way Justin Hardy very active in that offense certainly no surprise for one of the Canadian football league's leading receivers Andre Miller chipping in with his first trip to the the CFL End Zone Brown Begins the second half with a bubble screen here they get it into the hands of lurn as he steps in for rall Armstead Claire telling us about him being released earlier on this week Jamal Mor got in as well big cast protection on the Andre Miller touchdown but labert has been the guy here throughout the first half yeah we talked to coach Bob dice about him a little bit this week and what we could expect to see from kayin lird he described him as as Twitchy a guy who's got some some great quickness and burst to his game and as we saw in the first half was doing a pretty good job with his pass protections coach suggested in practice during the week fourman Rush here from the Argonauts as brown has time goes underneath ryes makes the grab right near the first down marker and on second and seven did they get enough they did move the chains here once again as that'll be the ninth first down gain through the air for the red blacks offense Dominique rmes lined up out wide continuing see a lot of Benji Franklin getting to know each other out there in that boundary side corner possible playoff preview of those two battling against each other the question is where will the game be Ry seeing a little more time on that side with the injuries lurn brought down but yeah rymes getting a little bit of a look more and more into that boundary side which usually means a couple more targets per game yeah a little bit playing a little bit closer to the quarterback different routes different matchups obviously as uh as you've seen but again with uh with Jaylen akland in particular down rymes is the guy who steps into that role you got to remember as well if you've made it to professional football every single guy that's a receiver wants to play that boundary wide receiver spot cuz they probably used to play in that spot everybody gets moved around coming up here's this throw undercut to Bar MC all over it and Andre Miller had to play defensive back and did an excellent job of preventing the interception I was going to say great defensive play by the receiver Andre Miller as taras mcfaden was able to sit and wait this one's coming right at him and you're going to see Miller pop into the picture looking to wrap him up big save there by the receiver Richie Leone has descended away coverage unit for the red blacks led by a Darius pick it down the field as Jan Grant makes the first man miss now the second cuts it back and if he wasn't brought down by Alonzo a die I think Jian Grant is in the end zone right now and this looks like a much different start to the second half for now Jian Grant held for 32 after a 313 lead coming out of the break Grant almost broke this one and changed it all more from Ottawa right after this pulling into the parking lot and seeing all the fans uh tailgating and and all the excitement for in and around this game the 20th banjo bowl is taking place today coming up very shortly here it is 300 p.m. eastern time noon Pacific Catch it only on CTV CTV is where you can find the banj B out there with the Riders and the bombers as David hunger wants to throw it now has to pull it down and run away bash BS huge hit and Davon Taylor from his middle linebacker spot hamers younger who had visions of a double pass with Richie s Danny the intended receiver down the field yeah wasn't plan a necessarily for David hungerer to run with this football but he made good on Plan B getting the r goes out close to a first down little run inside here aser you can see the backwards pass he tried to flip the hips and pump it but got away from DeAndre lont did a good job to get anything out this play yeah always important in those situations so often the receiver so badly wants to throw the ball that sometimes they'll force it right but good decision by hunger when he was under pressure Kelly gets it out of his hands here to Richie SNY and going nowhere that time wrapped up right in the original line of scrim that sounds like someone who might have been a high school football coach at one point has some bad memories of kids deciding to Chuck it down the field when nothing was open well you know I will tell you the last year that I coached High School football we were playing ninan and I I kind of liked a little run and Gun we actually played with five receivers a lot of the time in ninan football so yeah i' let my guys spread it out that's what Canadian football's buil for Kelly will do that here on second and long pressure on gets away from it looks to sidearm then PS back goes to car gets a block from and all the way down inside the 30 as Chad Kelly extends the play long enough that he finally finds somebody on the other end and it turns out it's his running back yeah the athleticism of Chad Kelly is I think often overlooked but yeah using his legs to keep it alive another bubble screen here working the outside Richie Dy gets a block from Hunger again pushed out of bounds and if you want to see the type of day it's been for Chad Kelly leading up to this drive just look at his thigh pads with theal blood and everything else that's on there it has been rough and tumble but all of a sudden in Rhythm yeah and I think changing up the pace a little bit here too a little more in attack mode are the Toronto Argonauts carry alongside Kelly he'll rip it this one complete putting the shoulder down Tommy NE touchdown Argos and Ryan DW he tries to fire up his bench throws off the headset and immediately Toronto answers to open up the third quarter DWI he wants the Argonauts bench to have some energy and some life right now Tommy Neil trying to give it to him a big finish to this play for Tommy Neil just a quick slant gets inside the defender Damon web and then drops the shoulder on alzo Adai at the goal line to get in for the touchdown here hu out for the extra point for Chad Kelly in The Argonaut offense they do something they haven't been able to all game long maybe with some drier conditions they find success six plays 66 y exactly know there you see Tommy Neil reliving the moment with Drew Tate Neil just running quick slant here he's got a little bit of space as a number three Defender over there is going to be a die the free safety he's off the ball web is chasing it from the outside the slant a perfect play call Kelly puts it on him he's got a little bit of momentum [Music] ran dwit he getting him going over there I need a new headset but I don't think he Minds just wanted to get some energy into the bench great shot from our CFL and TSN crew of The Eyes of Chad Kelly sneaking a p left before he went there as now a big return coming from the Ottawa red blacks to the 40 yd line and man how much would it mean for an opportunity for the Toronto defense to make a play double down on the early momentum of Tommy Neil going into the end zone well you think about how Ottawa took over the first half of this football game it was their defense getting rolling Kevin Ian hoping that his crew can return the favor here in the second half Brown's been really smart with the football for the most part in this ball game 9 to 14 87 yd now he's got his 10th completion Andre Miller the touchdown maker from earlier on refuses to go down and the football is out oh on top of it saving the day he's often the man on the receiving end but Justin Hardy just made arguably the biggest play of this football game based on the early momentum for the Argos yeah in terms of momentum that was huge you going to see Andre Miller working underneath on this one good route for him with his size as you see what he can do do after the catch running through arm tackles got a little loose with the ball and Benji Franklin who has been all over the place today is the guy who pops this one out very fortunate Justin Hy was able to beat a crowd of Argos to the rock well we've had variable conditions throughout the afternoon the rain has returned after The Argonaut touchdown as brown flips this one out it is complete and is lurn tur it up the field getting close to the first down as F rimot giving Chase from his defensive end spot but laurn showing he can work the wheels out of the back field catching the ball yeah and I I like the look of this one cuz they send both backs out there that it is essentially like a screen where you're throwing to the flag but gosan also running out there to be the lead blocker lurn knows he's there that's why he delays cuz he's got the kickout block of the fullback going ahead of him we always talk about running backs in the CFL and how you have to be able to pass protect with the amount of horizontal passing we're seeing now I almost wonder if they're not going to start scouting more and more receivers based on not how you can catch the ball how well do you block down the field absolutely huge these days yeah yeah no it's talked about a lot they'll plunge forward here on second and inches pick up the first down for the red blacks as we see the red blacks picking away and the man who's been leading them here today Ken Le bur playing for my Thundering Herd showed it to Charles H got your own School Chuck Mill and the young Thundering Herd but certainly one of the better FBS Seasons that we've seen yeah there you see number 10 in the country in 2022 after transferring from Florida State a chance to apply his trade with Canadian Football League seems like he's enjoying the game so far as brown has to get in quickly with pressure on gets it to ryes and near the first down marker second and short but you mentioned the Florida state transf for Charles Huff the head coach at Marshall former recruiter for the Alabama Crimson Tide clearly has an eye for talent so this isn't you know a guy that came from you know not a necessarily major D1 school in kin laurn it's a for Florida State player that was recruited by somebody who was very good at going and getting the top talent in the United States so he's got an opportunity to make a name for himself here after the rck Armstead released go back to lurn Second and short right down that near hash north south running as we look a little bit at his time at Marshall down at Huntington West Virginia and all over the field doing the same thing we just saw hammering it down that hash well one of the things that has stood out with lurn and you you see it in these clips already the number number of yards that he picks up after contact and a lot of it is that shiftiness or twitchiness that Bob dice talked about is you don't get clean shots out yeah able to evade tacklers likes the width of the field as well because he gets to split the hashes like this Off to the Races and into the end zone 33 yds for 34 and it is CFL debut that'll make the wondering H [Applause] smile well you make a significant change to your lineup and you're not really sure how that's going to go ra Armstead contributed a lot of yards to this Ottawa offense through the first half of this season but kayin LA's CFL debut no doubt putting some Minds at ease here in the nation's capital the patience of the run there as well just got stuck in behind Ralph Holly at defensive tackle couldn't find him and then he popped through the line his first CFL touchdown he'll hold on that [Music] football Cates rightfully so and the red blacks continue to roll here answering the Argonauts early third quarter touchdown it's now a 38-10 ball game as kayin lurn gets the hammer here in the nation's capital squeaks through the line of scrimmage turns on the Jets stares it down all the way for six Jen lurn flexing on him into the end zone 11 touches 79 yds and now a touchdown had big response drive there for Ottawa after Toronto finally see to have a little bit of a spark in this ball game mentioned the patience right at the line of scrimmage making a move little misdirection at the line of scrimmage as Ottawa had flow going to the right there bringing lurn back to the left picture time with his starting quarterback as well as Drew Brown continues to control the offense throughout this game and Bob dice looking good right now Midway through the third with a 28p point advantage to continue ottawa's winning ways here at homean Grant almost got one the earlier if he would have broken a tackle that time the coverage all over it but does a good job to make his way out to the 43 yd line as Winnipeg and Saskatchewan about to kick off over on CTV we won't we won't hold the grudge you want to go watch the bombers and the Riders we understand big CTV Network yeah now I understand this is actually Glenn suter's first appearance on the national network since he was on season 3 episode 9 of the CTV show The Listener playing the role of himself Monte Coy the intended receiver on that play you're telling me suits has been on CTV before he's an actor he has been an true story I saw the epis yeah yeah he runs into Oz at the hospital as I recall you remember I remember the episode I think suits gave him great Cup tickets you can catch him over on CTV right now banjo getting ready to go Chad Kelly to fight his way back into this game in the easted Elijah McGee brings down David hunger but Bennett Williams slit through the hands the no gloves defensive back out of Oregon maybe wishing he had some sticky stuff on the palms just that his fingers were about an inch longer maybe the way the first half went this ball would have been picked but just over the fingertips into the waiting arms of David hungerer along the sideline Kelly gets a big chunk on that play now plays first and 10 from the Ottawa side of Midfield Kelly loads it up takes a shot hangs up in the airer came back to it made the grab and is brought down at the seven yd line David hunger a were to this lineup early in the season back in and now a 45 yd gain Ander lined up out wide off the line of scrimmage so he can use that wagle kind of attack the corner with a little bit of momentum gets him turned around McGee had caught up to him but you saw because McGee was never settled he couldn't react to the ball being thrown behind whereas uner was able to make that adjustment McGee scrambling to catch up and overrun iter not the guy they used on their deep shot but they get a big one there now fading to his left looking the back of the end zone for deont McMahon ran into some traffic if he was clean he might have caught it at the back corner but incomplete and that comes second in goal from the Ottawa 8 there some shuffling of personnel there for the Toronto Argonauts first and second down lights are on here drizzle falling at TD place the seven and three Ottawa redls with a 28 point advant try to get aop bubble screen mcmah they do get it into his hands on second and goal it's a brick wall at the 5 yd line Frankie Griffin right there and knocking the chin strap buckles off and of course you don't want to get forced to run sideways but it looked like McMahon might have had a better opportunity towards the sideline rather than towards the middle after catching that one does that seem to be where the receivers were set up a third and goall Ja Kelly fball for Tommy NE incomplete no Flags down turnover on downs and the Argonauts frustrations [Applause] continue Chad Kelly looking for the fade ball to his slotback Tommy Neil who had the touchdown to get things going in this third quarter Kelly picked the spot Neil tried to get there spun around but just too far turnover on Downs red blacks football then four gray cup Gus the Polar Bear right here in the nation's capital awesome look it up on YouTube Tommy Neil slot back turnover on Downs the incompletion what were they trying to get to here D yeah Neil is working towards the corner he's got a step there but with the corner falling off that window becomes real tight an overthrow there for for Chad Kelly lot of time on the tablet today looking things over for number 12 trying to sort his way through this Baron miles Le red blacks defense is now just like at the end of the first half the end of the third quarter here with 237 remaining and that 28 point Advantage Ottawa with a long field in front of them as Drew Brown breaks the Huddle and what is a true four-point game here in the East Division these two teams second and third right now behind Montreal in the east as Andre Miller gets the grab heads towards the sideline Franklin ripping for the football can't get it [Applause] out I suspect given the score given the time and obviously given the field position Ottawa will be some somewhat content to play a little bit of small ball in this uh this portion of the field get out of the shadow of the goal post a little bit but play it safe in doing so Bob Dyson trusting Tommy Condell as offensive coordinator here in Ottawa see what he calls in in moments like this Miller tightens down to the line of scrimmage pressure on run look Argan knew it was coming and right in the middle of the pile Jordan Williams as they call for some help here it looks like a red blacks offensive line that's Zack Pelos second overall pick back in 2022 down and needs some [Music] help feel the need to say anytime we have o line injuries now after seeing Casey sails and Micah Johnson spend a little time having to flip to the offensive side of the ball Ottawa team that dresses 60 line yep fortunate Jacob Ruby is their six guys so a guy who does have some experience playing tackle yeah plenty of experience as Bob dice out to help his big right tackle off the field here they swap out a second overall pick from 22 for an eighth overall pick in 2015 Jacob Ruby on the fielders Dante b as well just saw on the sideline as he's on the injured list right now oh the former first overall pick Richie Leone will have to punt this away from his own three yd line High spiraling boot drops down to Jan Grant this is typically when he starts to heat up in games to get the wheels turning as he gets hit up high around the 50 it's turned around Nel roic down the field the athletic defensive end and special teamer 10-year veteran at of St Mary's the first on the scene to try and bring down Jan Grant yeah romic one of the original Ottawa red blacks out of St Mary's University 122 games for Nigel Ramic tying anine Pruno today for the most in red blacks history as well so congratulations to him longtime fan favorite ch wants to throw another deep ball for Tommy KN up for grabs incomplete it was in his hands for a moment DeAndre Lamont made the play seven pass knockdowns on the season leading the team yeah big defensive play there for Lamont as he continues to show his value Chad Kelly puts it on the money here perfectly play Tommy Neil goes up and gets it catches it in his hands before DeAndre Lamont wrestles it away offense on second and 10 check it down underneath carry puts his head down has to get up to the 46 yd line the initial signal is indeed a first down for Toronto Kelly relying on the running backs out of the back field as they'll swap out kadim kryy for Deontay McMahon here who they tried to give that score zone Target just a few minutes ago he just gave it to you quickly back to the line of scrimmage first and 10 Kelly again goes to McMahon and a swing pass underneath and back to the original line of scrimmage and that will do it for the third quarter of play there's there's some big ball of gas trying to make an appearance for us here in the nation's capital maybe it'll shine on the Argonauts in the fourth quarter but it has been a stormy start through three quarters for the double blue offensively 38-10 well they get into the end zone with Tommy Neil playing hero only to be answered by laurn in his first career CFL [Music] touchdown not far from TD place the Canadian Firefighters Memorial it here in the nation's capital it's National Firefighter Memorial weekend with more CLA Hannah well thank you very much I'm here with David Sheen David we spoke last year unfortunately this was a really devastating year for fallen firefighters 160 lost their lives can you just touch on how dangerous this occupation is well you know CLA I think it goes without saying when you're adding 160 names whether it's from occupational illness or traumatic injury and certainly this year the wild the Wildland firefighters we have eight Wildland firefighters going on the wall the most we've ever had in the history of Canada and tomorrow you're going to be having the official Memorial there's also record number of families that are going to be attending but what does it mean just to even have the recognition here at the CFL game oh for us this is this is awesome I mean hopefully it gets the message out to people to show how we as a foundation want to support the families blanket them in love and and you know make it special for them thank you very much David thanks CLA thank you Claire thank you David and uh yeah Stark reminder of the danger and the people that keep us safe and all First Responders we thank you for all the work that you do is maai poke with a big 22 yd gain and then Flags came out in a procedure call here Toronto in the first half just six first downs in the third quarter alone they had seven so things have certainly gotten better for Ryan in withy club as he jogs down to see the first down marker where his team needs to get now on First and 15 Kelly steps forward in the pocket looks up over the top once again he's going Tommy KN into the end zone and knocked away coverage supplied Again by Lamont they believe that they got something going on that corner route to Tommy Neil but just can't close the deal yeah just ran out of real estate over there again real tight window Neil the trail receiver here stem to the inside break to that corner you see again Lamont doing just enough to prevent him from holding on that ball on second and 15 open shot now to NE and he'll miss it wide again Lamont right there one onone and they'll hold the offense on the sideline the kicking team I should say for a moment and now they do come off with liy rahu so a couple of Misses there end the drive for the Argonauts another one that looked promising but couldn't close it yeah just basically a quick out here from Neil Kelly leading him a little bit too far and the speed with which Kelly throws the football though it when it hits the wet Turf it accelerates flies an extra 40 yard down the sideline as lamu from 35 yd away tags on three more points and improves his near League best make percentage on the season 3813 is the score now 1355 remaining hyra lahu with the NFL back in full swing spent a couple of Seasons trying to latch onto a roster down south and was unable to do so comes back up here and happy to be back in the Canadian Football League doing what he loves yeah always amazed when you see some of the kickers in this league and particularly their successes Lam lahu leis Ward Renee Perez all undrafted right in League where we talk so much about the importance of the kicking game you know Sean White another guy came through junior football Lam should have been the Cowboys kicker but we'll get into that later outside hand off here and Jamal Morrow back into the ball game stepping in his second series the one he was on earlier led to a touchdown pass to Andre Miller we's see what they can do here with Maro in the back field and you'll see Isaac dark getting the start at middle linebacker for Toronto today just mirroring the football getting over there to make a play with all those great seasons in statan to see the Veteran running back ling up against the fresh-faced middle linebacker of the Argonauts here today darkangelo his pressure on Brown has to get rid of it finds Dominique rmes he slides down you're wrapped up by Benji Franklin into that boundary needed to get to the 50 and we'll see where they spot the football looks like it's going to be just about half a yard shy so third down and one and a 3813 Advantage the offense stays on and goes quickly Drew Brown stays in and it looks like procedure movement yeah that'll be a jump by the red blacks and now we will see the kicking team the play play was never whistled in play does not count it's third down the play did not was not whistled in play did not count it third down well we saw that from Chad Kelly on Labor Day Monday as well in Hamilton trying to get the snap as quickly as possible but took the snap before it could be whistled in and then basically just reset everything and go again so it actually saves Ottawa from the procedure call and all sorts of substitutions on both sidelines right now he gives Ottawa a chance to get Dustin crumb in the short yardage unit on the field to go for it and situational football right these are the opportunities to try and work on some of these things because six of the last seven games for the red blacks are against the East Division they control their own destiny they've only played two games against the East it's hard to imagine we're Beyond Labor Day and they've played two games against the East Division but Ottawa has had success against the West 6 and two which has helped them get to this point of being seven and three on the season but they're really going to close this out with a bunch of playoff previews a great opportunity to build in terms of that intensity as they come down the stretch and a team that has to learn a little bit of what playoff football is going to look like before they actually get to playoff football as well so playing here at home Dustin crumb under Center expect to see him in short yardage in the playoffs as they'll be very close we'll see where they spot the football Toronto believes they got the stop crom kind of backed his way into this one Royce men the free safety believes and yeah I don't think that football is touching the 50 yd line so if it's not going to reach the white paint that's going to be a couple chain Lings short you saw crumb plunge straight into the middle and then kind of half spin off to the right hand side and with that in mind recognize that the ball was not the farthest forward point you think you guys often reaching with the ball to try and get that first down yardage he's kind of coming sideways or almost backwards as you said well now the football's actually been moved forward and it looks like it was close to touching that white 50 yd line so not sure where they shifted the spot on it the original one was shy but we'll see what the measurement is here as Marco Dubois watches on right between the benches alongside Jake cesna Mickey Donovan and his head coach Bob dice now pull this SES out and Toronto gets the stop just barely Dustin crumb first snap of the ball game got turned around Mark melted right there Fraser soic Royce meche and his first start all yearl long beginning right now Saskatchewan Winnipeg is live over on CTV it is the banjo bull the Riders and the bombers going at it after a fantastic Labor Day weekend game between those two teams they renew rivalries and then of course coming up later on the stamps and the Elks as Logan boner gets himself a starting quarterback and this one high just like in the first half from Chad Kelly the drizzle returns and the bugaboos out of the right hand from number 12 return at the same time yeah another one that certainly got away hey I do this that means you guys are going deflection prevents Alonzo die from getting a hand on that one get thean Rush on second and 10 escapes pressure rolls to his right Aiden John tries to get there he does big hit on the completion shy of the first down marker Richie s Danny was working for it and finally gave his quarterback an Escape Route but Aiden John working at defensive end here today yeah coming from the top of your scen green see Aiden John spying it watch the white the white those off will stay on the field go to work third and four from the Ottawa 44 pressure right down the barrel coming at Kelly incomplete but Damon web got there early on maai PO the first half hero with two pick six is the guilty party on this one pass interference otta on number nine that's an automatic first down and shapeline looking as an official having a conversation with web there maai pul the intended receiver on the play as he comes across web he looking for number three trying to get a bit of a jump on things there but beating the receiver with that arm out in front see Turf all over the inside of the helmet there Chad Kelly after being tackled by a John is now Dan out of that's the play action F in the back field Kelly and gets pushed Out of Bounds at the 20 yd line hunger piecing together a nice afternoon with another gain here of 14 yds yeah hunger former Hamilton DFT half pick we got a much bigger opportunity here in Toronto five catches 88 y forer Damonte Coy back into the fre Cuts back makes two men Miss into the end zone where has that been all game touchdown [Applause] Argos well terrific effort there after the catch by Damonte Coy the Miss tackles will drive Baron and Bob dice a little nuts over on that Ottawa sideline it looked like they had him stopped short right there McGee had him wrapped but Coy able to spin out of it and fight his way into the end zone keeping the Argos alive in this ball game five red GLS were within range nobody could bring down Damonte coy so now they'll go for two quarterback drop CH Kelly walks it in and tag a couple more on for Kelly in the Argo offense here 38 points for the red blacks the Toronto defense has got to get a couple of stops but now up to 21 thanks to Damonte Coy breaking tackles running through the adarus picket effort and Chad Kelly walks in the two-point 38-21 into the end zone everybody was around him nobody could bring him down yeah Coy the outside man in this trip set to the wide side just working to the sideline again Elijah McGee looked like he had him wrapped up Coy able to spin away from that one broke another tackle on route to The End Zone it's return from Jamal Morrow getting an opportunity in the return game fund Del pushes him out of bounds as Morrow a little bit blow up onto his feet so shaking off the cobwebs and limps his way across the field with a little bit of help from his friends Jamal Morrow showing some of his added value on The rosters backup running back also able to chip in in that return game Morrow gets looked at on the sideline while Drew BR in the red blacks offense back on the field Brown PPS now looks over the top Andre Miller back shoulder perfect placement Drew Brown he and Miller have got something going here this afternoon through all of the receiver injuries with Addison out and a out Miller steps in and get some chemistry with the starting quarterback on throws like this a terrific catch here [Music] is Miller kind of launches himself back on that throw behind to twist but very clearly had his hands underneath it hold on for the completion 16 y there Brown goes back to the shotgun comes up rolls to his right quick throw lurn heads for the Ottawa sideline as his running back made Jamal morrow in the injury tent right now on that same side and look looks like Drew Brown's having a little bit of fun out here in the drizzle this afternoon a lot of smile in between snaps and why not with 38 points on the board yeah some new faces I think he's excited to see those guys get involved and and have things click for them Andre Miller and kayin lurn in particular Eli stove out there as well getting his second start in that receiving [Music] Court five man Rush from the Aros Dominique rmes wide open on the Crosser running away from Robert prer to the 25 steps Out of Bounds at the Y Line first down Red Blocks as well as fires up the crowd for a gain of 22 and this is a demonstration of exactly why you run the crossing type routes you see rymes coming right to left on your screen priest's got to sort things out through traffic underneath there and is just unable to stay with him play clock whistled in inside 9 minutes remaining in this ball game and Ottawa happy to snap it with only a few seconds left on the clock each play winding down The Argonaut chances Brown drop Looks To the End Zone over the top up for grabs and knocked away there's that man again Benji Franklin against Justin Hardy oh Franklin had position on this one all the way it's Hardy on the outside looking for the pass breakup just right down the sideline you see Franklin inside position running with him he's got a beat on the ball Hardy's the one who's got to reach around to ensure that that one doesn't get picked it's a couple of times today that Ottawa receivers have had to play defensive back against Benji Franklin puts himself in such good positions as looks at the Crossing rad to rymes again they try to go back to the well and this time hacked down prer came up and made the play as the undersized tweener halfback outside linebacker playing with speed and gets to the lower body of Dominique ryes before he can pick up the first down here rymes working left to right this time across the formation but finds prer waiting for him rather than chasing in this instance Milton finishes it there as well his first year at of Balor here in the Canadian Football League so from 24 yards away Lewis Ward tries to cross the 40o mark for the red blacks today three of three already the wind and the drizzle doesn't matter what side of the field he's on Lewis Ward is money four for four and 41 points points on the board here in the fourth for the Ottawa red blacks as they look as though they are on their way to moving to 8 and three on the season Bob dice Le over the last couple of years just 5 and 29 at home in the previous Four Seasons but about to move to 60 and one if they hold on to this 20-point advantage in the fourth quarter why why I mean what is the reason that they have been so dominant here at home all of a sudden well I I think it's about their their season in general and what we talked about off the [Music] top FY makes the grab pushed out of bounds just the combination of both stability and depth that they've had at the quarterback position like you think about how different the last couple years might have been in Ottawa had Jeremiah muli not been injured two years ago yeah absolutely Kelly rolls out to his left Ty Po and is brought down Frankie Griffin finishes off the Damon web tackle there but yeah having Jeremiah moui injured obviously has changed the course of their last couple of Seasons Drew Brown coming over Jeremiah into the freight Tyree Adams stepping up at times Dustin crumb filling in that well you look I mean Crum moli and and brown have all sort of contributed points for the Ottawa red blacks this season done a good job of building the roster out around it bring Dominique Ry home if you want to call it that from where he was before after going to BC Javon Santos knocks to see on crutches in the background there but he's been great for them at middle linebacker return games gotten better built the Special Teams through the draft Yeah I think you know adding a guy on defense like a Darius picket can change the complexion of your team a little bit not just on the field but in terms of attitude work e confidence as well third and two handed off but almost made the stick and everybody else had to come to the rescue pick it first on the scene but the physicality he brought over from the Toronto Argonauts on clear display there we heard this week Dwayne about yeah when when a darus is on the field in practice he plays 100% all the time and it's so he can make plays like that and here you'll see him come flying into the back field beats his man to the inside to meet kadem Cary Carrey able to get through that one but pick it slowed him up enough to allow the Cavalry to get there and snuff out that Argonaut Drive what was that he said about uh pads click clacking yeah he he makes him clack pretty loud when he makes plays like that Drew Brown in the offense back on the turf 20 point Advantage after the Lewis Ward field [Music] goal and double caught Ball by Justin Hardy he's trying to spin away from tackers darkangelo helps out to bring him down but Hardy another one of those that great history and pedigree in the NCAA East Carolina Atlanta Falcons just catches a thousand balls no matter where he goes and he's brought that to this red blacks offense yeah different different skill set in terms of what he brings to the offense but I would describe Justin Hardy was Austin Mack before Austin Mack you know a guy coming with some NFL experience but really recognizing where he was when he was here when he arrived in the CFL one trying to fit it into a real tight window for Eli sto Razer soic flying out from his weak side linebacker spot so the turnover on Downs thanks to a Darius picket then a two and out so the Toronto defense does get a stop inside 5 minutes remaining in the ball game yeah otok would have loved to have bled a little more time off the clock with that drive narrowing the Argonauts opportunities but they'll have an opportunity here with a good cover on Jian Grant to at least Force the Argos to go a long way to [Music] score Rie Leon backwards spiraling boo drops down to Jan Grant they've done a good job of trying to contain him throughout the day and a couple of Miss tackles here Marco dub almost had him Ty Cranston close as well Jian Grant continues to put good field position out there for the offense as week 14 of the CFL and TSN wraps up tonight stamps head to Edmonton to take on the Elks s Easter for Pacific on TSN the headliner of that one obviously Jake Mayer benched yeah Calgary looking for a spark essentially making a change Jake May over the last couple years has been the only quarterback starting every game yeah behind only Garcia and burus I believe consecutive start yeah so that's that'll be snapped in that ball game Logan gets the start and this one knocked away receivers Force to play defensive back is Elijah McGee took a run out it and maai poke able to get what should go down as a pass knockdown if he were a defensive back yeah I mean McGee was fully in front of this one p comes from behind him making a play on that ball and a challenge flag comes out and what is Bob dice looking for here Ottawa is challenging for offensive pass interference on the previous play the play oh the rare offensive pass interference challenge Dwayne this game has it all got for Bob dice this is all about making a long field longer at this stage right 20po lead you don't want to give any life it I mean I I joke about it but it is one of those things where there's kind of this culture of anytime a defensive back touches a receiver well that's DPI flag flag yeah anytime there's a bad throw that an offensive player scratches in Claws and holds and clutches and grabs and everyone goes well that's just a great play yeah so Bob dice is trying to change the narrative on us here I don't think there's a lot of question that if you're treating the DB is the receiver and the receiver is the DB on this one he was there early play official is Al Bradbury as he looks it over and the city that leads Poncho sales they seem to Across the Canadian Football League Ottawa undefeated with the Poncho sales let's get the call after review by the command center pass interference tronto number 15 this is a 10yd penalty rat first down that late in the game I think Bob dice feeling like this might be the best opportunity to gain benefit from a challenge that he was going to have down the stretch that is Chad Kelly first and 20 after the offensive pass interference review and set talk about making a long field longer there's Lorenzo molden alongside Cleon Lang fifth sack on the game for the Ottawa red [Music] blacks Lorenzo Malden top ofier screen working against Deon Allen now Kelly gets out a little screen this time can Carry's got Running Room Bennett Williams trying to bring him down and add a little bit of water to this CFL playing surface everyone gets real slippery real quick Damonte Coy showed that on The Argonaut touchdown earlier and Kadeem krey sliding away from tacklers that time for a gain of 17 they'll go here once again third and seven Chad Kelly quick snap looking to the wide side David H catches it Taps the toes looks like they had to get to the 40 and the spot should get it the first down as they take a look at it put the spot down snap comes up as they move the chains Kelly Crossing Richie Dy [Applause] incomplete David Taylor providing the coverage the linebacker and we have hit the thre minute warning here in the nation's capital the red blacks looking to move to 8 and three on the year gain an advantage over the Argonauts looks like Ottawa will have a five-point lead for second in the East with their eyes on a home playoff [Music] game play then you've come to the right place big day for the Ottawa red blacks Lorenzo Malden Cleon Lang Mike Wakefield Kenny Ona wman toala Aiden John Nigel rck they get them all I think so the red blacks only dress backup defensive ends from St Mary that's the once again Aiden John there you go St Mary's in the house Daniel oo Chad Kelly has been harassed from start to finish of this one and nothing changing here inside 3 minutes remaining just a speed rush around the edge John go quickly once again Kelly steps up throws across his body it for Tommy NE incomplete and he threw it past the original line of scrimmage as well adding little salt to the wounds yeah tough to be accurate throwing completely across your body even on a short one such as that Rob dice says he has no interest in accepting the [Music] penalty I get the sense of Darius picket is enjoying this one just as much as William stand did last night against [Music] monreal hey man everybody back home home it's been a long time out there you go touchdown Pacific last week the red blacks involved but the Atlantic getting the shout out here Middle East Coast love love [Music] that Brown still in the ball game hands it out chopped down good tackle that time on Ken leborn as Fraser soic flying around and having a little word with the Ottawa bench oh Fraser soic terrific free agent signing for the the Toronto argonut a guy who's always been sort of a situational package guy in Calgary and Hamilton getting to play some more snaps here in Toronto this season more of a full-time player that weak side linebacker spot obviously fantastic University resume former president's Trophy winner he the top defensive player in US Sports football no quit on that guy no matter how late it is what the score is over the top Dominique Wes it's punched what a play Mar Milton got the football on and benie Franklin has his hands on it on a day where Franklin has been absolutely everywhere on this football field despite 41 points on the board for the red blacks no fault of Franklin's and what a play as it looked like ryes was about to stroll into the end zone previous play is under review by the command center yeah maybe looking at how if he had possession long enough to be a completion but great call anticipating what they were going to get for Ottawa but great reaction there by Mark Milton to get over and prevent the touchdown this should be a completed pass based on what we saw Ry secures it turns up field had control of it great strip there punch directly down theing on the field is confirmed it's first down what a puncho by Mark Milton you got to prevent Ottawa from really stacking it on and getting close to a 50 Burger in this one the Argonauts offense turnover on Downs they get the football back Kelly from his own End Zone some he sacks to eight loads it up down the field and it's drop tough conditions here but Makai poke had a chance and Kelly never shy to take a shot yeah pulk adjusted well to the ball put himself in position to make the catch and Kelly despite some ups and downs today terrific throw there there but Falls incomplete for all the misses and inaccuracy the fact that Chad Kelly just put that ball on a rope flat footed from his own end zone out to the 45 I mean it's once in a while he makes those throws that just stun this one will get punched up into the air incomplete dangerously near the end zone as again you get a sense the red blacks would love to ice this game with a third pick six of Chad Kelly the offense looks like they're staying on Third and 10 from their own three yd line Taylor coming from behind the goal post here get the piece of that [Music] one what's in the playbook in this situation Kelly fourman Rush rips it underneath the uprights go to the 12 ydd line maybe give him a little bit more than that looked like yeah it's going to be close was winding his way back towards the 10 but the spot he's going to make it very close and they're moving the sticks and Bob dice is asking how they can move the sticks with they're taking a closer look at it but 20 point Advantage M 42 di fighting for every inch just like the rest of these players out here winding this one down 14 is poke makes another grab sitting down in between [Music] zones Toronto's taking what they can get here was just again going to make make him wear down that clock will give you yards but you're going to eat up time to get down is Tommy Neil big hit this time Frank Griffin flying out from his linebacker spot you get the sense that Chad Kelly's passing yardage total at the end of this day is likely not going to match what the performance felt like but some big shots in then moments like this where Ottawa plays soft and allows everything underneath and when he takes it they get a lot of this one will go over the top and'll hang up too as Coy trying to High Point it and he does what a grab by Damonte Coy told us this week some of his favorite receivers Kelvin Johnson Andre Johnson Randy Moss loves High pointing the football yeah I mean he talked about practicing this stuff in high school that this was a game that they played basically a free-for-all all the receivers lined up at one end of the field with the quarterback throwing Hail Marys everybody had to fight for it gain of 40 on this play is Flags come up all over the place at the snap David hunger makes the catch David hunger may be 510 a buck 75 he does play like he's 62 200 yeah yeah he battles no doubt gets lots of targets as well as the red blacks going backwards here on this drive converting a third and 10 from their own three did the Argonauts and now all the way inside the 30 of Ottawa decline the gain is greater first down Tim kroer the referee sorts that one out everyone resets they'll whistle this in as we head towards a minute remaining in the ball game argonut trailing by not giving up Kelly looking for a deep shot rolling across the field trying to find out of a boy couldn't hold [Applause] on give a little love to Toronto Center Peter necastro you Labor Day Brain cramp for me it's not brain cramp I mean it's my years running together where I suggested that he missed last season when he had actually missed the 2022 season due to injury started at guard last year bu at guard back at Center this year there's fighting through the middle of the field tackled down around the 5 yd line as necastro and the rest of that offensive line giv Chad Kelly some good time to operate [Music] now Argo doing what they had to do in the the circumstance here very likly too middle too late Kelly fires one into the end zone rolling to his right and finds Damonte Coy with 50 seconds remaining the Argonauts just keep chipping away they've gotten close at various points in this ball game of securing momentum building something special early on in the third quarter 107 yd Drive and it's finished with Damonte Coy in the end zone as now they'll go for two so Ryan dwy kicks the Special Teams unit off the field and looks back to his play sheet for the two-point and fitting that it would be coy scoring the touchdown as he had the big catch on that drive that got them the the chunk that they needed given the battle against time that they're facing here but you know you look at a couple of couple of plays in this game or a couple of of turnovers one on downs but also a pick six in the first half when the AR are in scoring position as they make this game closer could have been a very different game Kelly working the pocket and throwing an interception Elijah mgee hauls it in as Kelly off the mark on that one [Music] so a 4127 game and Elijah McGee the lucky recipient of another Chad Kelly interception here this afternoon and now the Special Teams units will go to war on the kickoff Bob dice one of the best special teams finds in the game Mickey Donovan working things over with his Squad as well as they talk it through yeah no surprise as to what's coming here it's all about execution when you're the hands team you've got couple of guys that you want handling the football and you want everybody else blocking everybody's got a responsibility to keep those couple of receivers clean Tim kroer the referee walking over to talk to Ottawa as well make sure everybody understands the Rules of Engagement on the onside Ry dwy hoping for another possession with his team still trailing 4127 Lam hyu put this one on the [Music] T Marco DUIs staying there alongside Dominique r wman tala on the front line for the Red Blocks as well trying to protect and secure this ball hangs up around the 10yd Mark R goes High Point just like Damonte Co he did a minute ago rise who probably should have a touchdown if it wasn't punched out by Mark Milton will help the red blacks wind this one down and moved to eight and three as for the first time with 49 seconds remaining we see a patch of Blue Sky breaking through which kind of feels like the red blacks breaking through here to a six0 And1 team at home after being 5 and 29 in the previous Four Seasons you know I want to talk about Marco duah and special teams a little bit and we've seen him a couple times over the years including last week watch him here he's kind of the personal protector right anything that seeps through he goes and gets it Damonte KY is a guy that Toronto's trying to free out to have a shot at that ball D did a great job finding him great special team or whatever isal lurn tries to get back to the line of scrimmage will be just short but Marco duah kind of feels like the fixer doesn't he like any special team situation he it's like you need him to chase someone 100 yards he's your guy you need him to save the day you need a you need a catch you need a fake punch he's your guy whatever you need Marco's the guy yeah he delivers and this was his reputation not necessarily a full-time guy in college at Laval but a second round pick on the premise that he was not only the best special teams player in the draft but a guy that you knew could have an immediate and lasting impact on special teams in the Canadian football league and he has done just that remember being at the great cup Ottawa Calgary like in 2018 I believe when it was in Edington Marco came up to me and said I just I want to say thank you for all the nice things you said about me on special teams it's really held my career advance I said Parco I'm just pointing out how great you are I'm not I'm not telling stories the I'm not trying to blow up your tires I'm like you're a great player man well he's proven that for a long time here in this tfl and he's a big part of what is a very good football team in the nation's capital dice dice baby the unbeaten streak here at home continues 60 and one lose and they are now eight and three on the season with Bob dice at the controls Damon W not one but two pick sixes of Chad Kelly and Kelly quickly exits stage left after a 4127 defeat the hands of the Ottawa red blacks now 83 and one and six of their last seven now five of their last six against teams from the East Division as they expand their lead to Five Points over the Toronto Argonauts it's a great day of CFL football continues and rolls on the banjo Bowl going on right now it'll be the stamps and the Elks coming up later on for you as the red blacks continue to prove especially after the Montreal loss against the BC Lions last night they for real in the East Division and maybe even a great cup contender heading down the stretch here the CFL season for Dwayne Ford Clare Hanah I'm Marshall Ferguson thanks so much for watching
