3 Keys To Victory
Attack Edmonton defence with speed.
The Ottawa offence put up 480 yards through the air and a big part of that was how Tommy Condell play calling that utilized the receivers speed through the middle of the field.
Kalil Pimpleton, Dominique Rhymes and Justin Hardy all had over 100 yards receiving and were able to create space from Edmonton’s Defensive backs with Slants and In routes.
Edmonton defence has struggled against the pass this season, giving up an average of 319.8 passing yard per game this season.
Ball Security
Ottawa continues to struggle holding onto the ball on offence. They had a fumble on Edmonton 49-yard line which resulted in an Edmonton 7 Play Touchdown drive.
They have averaged 2.75 Turnovers Against a game so far this season.
Pressure the Backfield
After a 3 sack performance last week, Ottawa is now up to 9 sacks on the year.
They will need a repeat performance this week. Ottawa defence plays at another level when the defensive line can get pressure on the Quarterback along with breaking the line of scrimmage on Run plays.
Mauldin IV is slated to start after leaving last week game and being limited in the practice due to a Rib Injury. Him performing at a high level will be a key factor in the defence production.
