TORONTO — They've officially been teammates for less than a week, but Ka'Deem Carey will aim to become Chad Kelly's best friend Thursday night.
Carey and Kelly met during Kelly's absence from the team and they've struck up a friendship off the field. But in football circles, there's a time-tested saying that a quarterback's best friend is sound running game which takes the attention and pressure off the passer. Most noticeable was how often Kelly pushed the ball downfield. That wasn't surprising as Kelly routinely did that in 2023, regardless of whether he'd completed a TD strike, was intercepted or had an incompletion.
And although Kelly threw for 4,123 yards and 23 TDs last season, Dinwiddie said the ground attack will remain a key element of Toronto's offensive attack. Establishing the run against Saskatchewan won't come easily as the Riders' defence is allowing just 76.9 yards per game, second-fewest in the CFL. Opposing teams are passing for an average of 304.1 yards per game — second-most overall — but the Riders also lead the league in sacks , interceptions , fumbles recovered and turnovers forced .
