Ottawa Redblacks Avery Williams tackles Edmonton Elks Ante Litre during first half CFL action in Edmonton, Alta., on Saturday August 27, 2022.It had been a long time coming for Redblacks quarterback Nick Arbuckle. It had been 967 days since he was dealt to the Redblacks by the Calgary Stampeders. But, with the 2020 season cancelled because of the pandemic, Arbuckle was released early in 2021 — signing with Toronto, then getting dealt to Edmonton.
A week ago, in a 30-12 loss to the Elks , the Redblacks had trouble adjusting to Edmonton’s defensive scheme — which often called for just three pass rushers with nine players dropping back into pass coverage.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.“We did a really good job of being aggressive, especially in the first half,” said Arbuckle.
It was the first game of the season for DeVonte Dedmon, the dynamic kick/punt returner, who agreed to rejoin the Redbacks after being released by the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. The CFL’s Most Outstanding Special Teams Player from 2021 had three punt returns for 70 yards , but the Elks’ game plan was to keep the ball out of his hands when possible.Article content
