From Al Jakubec
Dustin Crum took all the first team reps for Ottawa at QB today. Bob Dyce wouldn't rule out Dru Brown for Saturday. But if he can't play it will be Crum starting ahead of Matt Shiltz

From Farhan Lalji - Fractured leg for Begelton.

I hope he recovers fully from this.

It's the smart play. Shiltz didn't light things up. See if Crum got any better, he's had a few seasons now. And if Crum sucks too, with clearly garbage OL play, then at least they know what/who to blame and can always change back to Shiltz.

Now, if Crum lights it up with the same OL, then that may finally be the (near) end for Shiltz.

Actually one of the best case scenarios for what we saw. I thought he blew up his knee. Fracture probably means he'll back on the field well before season end.

Woah -- what a really odd way to fracture a leg. Looked like your standard MCL/ACL joint type issue as all he was doing was pretty routine blocking.

Ottawa signed former BB 1st round pick (2023) Anthony Bennett. The 6'3" 230# DE had 8 tackles and 3 ST tackles in 18 games with the BB in 2023.

Always expected more from Crum but his game just does not seem to progress, still plays the same way he did as a rookie even though he has a reasonable tool box, he's been pin holed like Streveler was. Not as if he's dumb and can't learn anything new, he has a degree in Aeronautical Systems of Engineering Technology, so he's literally a rocket scientist.

Totally agree. Looking at the play I can't see how you can possibly fracture. But since it is, now I think they really need to fine the guy who was pushing him down 30Y away from the play and past the whistle.

Clearly there was some force involved with the abuse he was taking for no reason, otherwise no bone would have broken.

CGY is really in trouble without him. Begel is like half their O just on his own, and he draws all the coverage to open up the others. He's like CGY's Kenny.

I guess there's a chance the pundits were/are wrong? Any official word from CGY yet?

They always start off well. Still betting they go through a mid-late season slide again.
