LaPolice-Arbuckle combo hope to lead Redblacks' turnaround. MORE:
TSN’s Farhan Lalji and Dave Naylor take a closer look at the Ottawa Redblacks in their series of team snapshots around the CFL.There were wholesale changes for the Redblacks this off-seasonafter finishing dead last in the standings last year, led by new head coach Paul LaPolice, who had a very successful run in Winnipeg as their offensive coordinator. And then they bring in quarterback Nick Arbuckle from the Calgary Stampeders.
In Arbuckle’s case, he’s had less than a half season’s worth of starts and he’s being paid like a franchise guy in this league. He’s in a very good situation because of LaPolice, who’s going to try to bring the best out of him. LaPolice is a creative play-caller, and in terms of Arbuckle, he not only has the outstanding arm but he’s also underrated with his legs. LaPolice likes to use that dynamic as well so I think he’s going to find a way to get the most out of Arbuckle.
He has Mike Benevides, a veteran coach who’s been a head coach and defensive coordinator, running the defence; Bob Wylie, offensive line coach comes back from the NFL, he’s a guy with a lot of experience in the CFL; Bob Dyce as special teams coordinator. A lot of brainpower on the sideline for this team in 2020.
