Elks analyst Blake Dermott

The Elks are off to their best start in years after a statement road win over Winnipeg, and Brenden Escott is joined by Elks analyst and two-time Grey Cup champion Blake Dermott to break down what's behind Edmonton's early-season success. We discuss the team's newfound ability to close out tight games, the impact of rookie linebacker Dariel Djabome stepping into a bigger role, Cody Fajardo's steady leadership, Justin Rankin's emergence as one of the CFL's top playmakers and what's fueling the league's top-ranked defence. Plus, we preview a showdown with Nathan Rourke and the winless BC Lions and examine what a 4-0 start would mean for the Elks' standing across the CFL.
