Ottawa Redblacks, You Have Our Attention

Ottawa Redblacks, You Have Our Attention

This should be the simplest story line for anyone to pick up on. A side whose celebrated comeback to  the CFL was flawed `by the terrible 2-16 season has found itself tied in the eastern division for first   place. In year CFL 2015, Ottawa REDBLACKS have for long been the overlooked team. In the east, we are  amazed by the unexpected rise of Trevor Harris of Toronto Argonauts and shocked by the performance of Rakeen Cato, who owes his playing time to the disastrous number of injuries that has found home in Montreal Alouettes quarterbacks. Hamilton’s quest for the third grey cup appearance that will never lose at home has caught our attention. In fact, these recent developments have outdone what is going on in the nation’s capital. It is very easy for you to get caught up with the stories of young quarterbacks whose performance represent the future of CFL

Then you have Ottawa REDBLACKS who should be the biggest story. REDBLACKS have doubled their win  total from what they had at this particular time last season. Technically, Ottawa does not have any sexy quarterback-. It just has an older one that we already know. Sometimes, we take Henry Burris for granted, but can redblacks really blame us, the guy has been playing since 1998. For this reason, it is very easy for us to overlook Burris because we always expect him to be on the starting in the CFL 2015. Nevertheless, we should look at Burris from a different viewpoint; as a matter of fact he deserves some praise for being able to stay healthy as he was last year although he was playing behind a weak offensive line. In year 2015, with the addition of new players, Burris is back ready to set a personal high percentage of completion..

This season Ottawa REDBLACKS seems to be on the offensive in the CFL making it more found to watch  them play this season. It does not matter what they will do on Saturday when they play against calgary, but so far they have been convincing.
