It looks like QB Mitchell will be back for the TiCats this week. It really isn’t any reason to be excited as he has some daunting stats to take note of. He didn’t do well for the Stamps last season and lost his place to Maier. But this season his rough ways continued with a 58% completion rate, 53.3 passer efficiency rating and 4 INT vs. 1 TD pass to start out with before he was hurt. He is returning to play against the best “D” in the league for avg. rushing gain against, 2nd best rush yards against/game and 3rd best in first downs allowed. His own offence had a very weak run game against the Stamps last week with only 38 yards total on the ground. It could even be worse this week. DB Dandridge for the RedBlacks has the second most INTs in the league. He along with the rest of the Red Blacks “D” will be looking to feast on an O-line that has to pass block all game long and adding to their 4th highest sack total in the league at Mitchell’s expense.

On the other side of the ball Crumb will have even more reps in practice as starting QB to fine tune his game against a Hamilton “D”

that has allowed the most points against, TDs and yards/play in the CFL. They are also 2nd to last in first downs allowed. Crumb will also have little to fear against a defence with the 2nd least INTs and least turnovers caused. With the Red Blacks top rated run game (that includes Crumb himself), Crumb will have plenty of options and time for his pass game. Clearly you should lay the points and take Ottawa for this one.
