While the Roughriders try to work out their quarterbacking situation, Jeremiah Masoli continues to have the ‘holy moly’ factor in operating the Ticats offensive unit. In what has turned into a Canadian double-double in their backfield with the emergence of Mercer Timmis and Sean Thomas-Erlington just adds to the Hamilton offensive puzzle.
Nothing has been addressed regarding the Duron Carter situation. Is he on offence now? Is he still on defence? It’s a shoulder shrug. The Riders will need to get Jerome Messam rolling, however, to aid in the development and confidence with Brandon Bridge.

The Montreal Alouettes snapped a losing streak that no one would have liked to endure. A large factor in doing so was the connection between QB Drew Willy and WR Chris Williams. The only issue with that moving forward is that Drew Willy left the game and Jeff Mathews has been getting first-team reps so far this week at practice.
As for the REDBLACKS, Montreal gives them an opportunity to bounce back from the pounding they received from the Stampeders last week. It’ll also be the REDBLACKS first eastern opponent this season. Trevor Harris and William Powell may just have themselves a night.

The James Franklin era gets underway with him at the helm of the Argonauts offence, and what better way to get it started than against his former team.
The Argonauts have struggled so far this season and have looked nothing like the team that hoisted the Grey Cup last November. That being said, fresh off of a bye week, the talk surrounding James Franklin is intriguing and could be the spark the Boatmen are looking for.
Be like Mike? The reigning MOP had a gradual take off before heaving bombs on the BC Lions defence last week. Mike Reilly and the Eskimos will visit BMO Field with the hope of having a similar performance in what will be the first of a back-to-back series against the Argos.

Both teams are coming off of losses from Week 3.
No word on whether Chris Streveler will be the signal-caller for the Blue Bombers or whether Matt Nichols will be returning to the lineup after seeing his team get out to a 1-2 start on the season. Both quarterbacks were splitting reps with the starters at practice.
Andrew Harris is likely licking his lips after seeing CJ Gable run rampant on the Lions defence. That being said, Jeremiah Johnson and Chris Rainey are probably doing the same thing after the Blue Bombers allowed the Ticats to slice through them last week.
