*Tre Ford and Chase Brice are included right here assuming they’re beginning in Week 8. The Tiger-Cats and Lions haven’t introduced their starter for Week 8 as of this writing.
1. (1) DAVIS ALEXANDER | MONTREAL ALOUETTES
The final two weeks have seen the Montreal Alouettes sweep the Calgary Stampeders with their quarterback placing up over 700 yards and 4 touchdowns.
David Alexander just set the record for the most pass attempts without an interception. What makes this document so outstanding is that it isn’t like Davis performs it protected. He is not operating a conservative check-down offense.
Alexander has gone over the 300-yard mark in each sport this yr. One play stands out in the crew’s 38-32 victory over the Stampeders. In the second quarter, Davis dedicated the cardinal sin amongst passers: he threw throughout his physique to the center of the subject. They (whoever “they” are) at all times let you know to by no means do this… until you are David Alexander. The move led to a 25-yard landing to Tyler Sneadplacing the Alouettes up 22-0.
2. (2) TREVOR HARRIS | SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS
This spot could also be too excessive as the final time we noticed Trevor Harris was in a 38-7 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, in which he put up modest numbers.
When you return and watch his two interceptions, although, each could be attributed to excellent performs by All-CFL defenders Wynton McManis and Stavros Katsantonis.
3. (-) DRU BROWN | WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS
I promise I’m not doing this to troll the good metropolis of Ottawa. You have at hand it to Dru Brown who, attributable to the Zach Collaros harm, was handed the beginning job quickly after being traded to Winnipeg and has responded with two victories.
I beloved his aggressiveness towards Toronto, going to Tommy Nield for 25 yards together with his crew up 29-21 on a second-and-long with underneath three minutes left to assist put the sport away. Against the REDBLACKS, he missed a bunch of throws, however was tremendous environment friendly late in the third and all through the fourth quarter, main Winnipeg to a comeback and a duel of two-point conversions in a 36-34 win.
4. (5) CHAD KELLY | TORONTO ARGONAUTS
If Lirim Hajrullahu makes that 31-yard subject aim to beat the Tiger-Cats, I think about many individuals are Chad Kelly in a different way.
Kelly wasn’t good towards Hamilton, however he did put the Argonauts in a place to win. In the crew’s 30-21 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, I can level out a number of elite throws together with a 55-yard over-the-shoulder toss to Makai Polk after which in the fourth quarter an absolute laser to Polk for a 15-yard rating.
5. (6) CODY FAJARDO | EDMONTON ELKS
Cody Fajardo put up higher numbers and Edmonton scored way more factors in their Week 6 40-17 overcome Ottawa, however I used to be extra impressed with Fajardo’s night time in the crew’s 19-17 win towards the Lions.
Every week prior, the Elks receivers (led by Brendan O’Leary-Orange’s heroic 90-yard reception) put up 228 yards after the catch towards the REDBLACKS protection. They additionally put up over 200 yards on the floor. Fajardo had loads of assist that night time. On Friday, BC managed to carry Justin Rankin and Javon Leake to 12 yards dashing, however Fajardo, together with a ferocious protection, discovered a strategy to get a win.
6. (4) VERNON ADAMS JR. | CALGARY STAMPEDERS
No disgrace in dropping each video games to Montreal, the finest crew in the CFL, which is led by the sport’s finest quarterback. Vernon Adams Jr.’s numbers had been nearly an identical in each losses, throwing for 272 yards and three touchdowns in Week 6 after which 273 yards and one other hat trick of touchdowns final week.
Both contests had been one-score affairs and in their second assembly Adams Jr. did deliver Calgary again with a 15-yard landing strike to operating again Dedrick Mills to tie the sport at 32.
7. (7) JAKE MAIER | OTTAWA REDBLACKS
Yes, the 4 interceptions towards Edmonton look unhealthy on paper, however keep in mind two of them had been late in the sport with Ottawa down by a major margin.
In their shut loss to Winnipeg, the headline naturally was all about Dru Brown beating his “former” crew, however Jake was the finest passer on Sunday night time. Maier was getting hit time and time once more and he nonetheless managed to create massive performs downfield.
His 34-yard move to Ayden Eberhardt On the first play of the third quarter he was wildly courageous as Michael Fletcher, who can be referred to as for a grade-two roughing the passer penalty, hit him simply as he launched the ball. That was Jake’s finest sport of the season, and he deserved a greater consequence.
8. (-) THREE FORD | HAMILTON TIGER-CATS
If Tre Ford can construct on his day towards Toronto, we might be in for some thrilling instances in the East.
I’m unsure how he obtained the ball to Larry Rountree III in the first quarter. As he was being taken down, he by some means flipped it to his operating again to transform a second-and-long. His scrambling led to the Kenny Lawler 25-yard landing, and Ford was the most harmful runner in that sport.
I’m unsure if his interception to Benjie Franklin was about miscommunication together with his receiver or only a unhealthy resolution, however I did get pleasure from his second of revenge with a 35-yard throw to Keric Wheatfall simply over the fingers of Franklin late in the third quarter.
9. (-) CHASE BRICE | BC LIONS
Chase Brice was put in a tricky spot coming in for Rourke and the Elks protection was throughout him from begin to end.
