Edmonton Elks running back Kevin Brown off the strength of his 175-yard rushing performance against the Saskatchewan Roughriders last Friday was named to the Week 15 Honour Roll.
The offensive line has helped in the Elks having the number one rushing unit in the CFL, averaging 133.4 yards per game. The Elks have recorded at least 200 yards rushing for three straight games and have helped Tre Ford to record 471 yards rushing, and have the third best completion percentage in the CFL and the third-best quarterback rating .
“Spacing has been different. When we do rush back, those guys aren’t as willing to rush because they know that Tre can take off,” Korte said. “Defences like to stack the box against us on the run but they know that Tre can the pull the ball. We have a lot of complimentary pieces right now with run game helping the pass game and the pass game helping the run games.”No to be out done, Elks punter Jake Julien made an appearance on the Week 15 honour roll. Julien averaged 43.
The Elks would hold Riders kick-returned Mario Alford to 51 punt return yards with his longest being 39 yards. Williams recorded a 100-yard touchdown off of a missed field goal in the Lions 41-37 come from behind win over the Ottawa Redblacks last weekend. Williams is third in the CFL in combined yards , but Julien says he will focus on his faith in the cover units.
