Elks analyst Blake Dermott

Edmonton’s 6-2 start took a hit in Montreal, as the Elks were beaten 48-30 by the Alouettes in a game where Montreal controlled all three phases. Blake Dermott joins us to break down what went wrong defensively against Davis Alexander and the Als’ balanced attack and whether Montreal exposed any legitimate weaknesses in Edmonton’s defence. We’ll also dig into Mark Kilam’s late-half decision to take three points instead of going for it on third down, the limited workload for Justin Rankin and whether there were any positives to take from an offence that struggled to keep pace. Plus, with Edmonton now 2-2 against Montreal and Saskatchewan with another matchup against the Riders still to come, what does that tell us about where this Elks team really stands? And with Chad Kelly and the Toronto Argonauts coming to town Saturday, how does Edmonton bounce back?
