  Hey kids welcome back to another

  episode of Old Man Plays CFL
• 0:07
  Fantasy. Tough week for
• 0:10
  me last week I took VA and he got
• 0:13
  as a captain with double points. He got
• 0:15
  me 6.6 andI got thumped. I think I
• 0:18
  got 66 points and.
• 0:22
  Uh, Trey Harness, Trey Cole back. I
• 0:23
  believe it is from uh, CFC.
• 0:28
  He, oh he was 106, whichwasn't
• 0:31
  fantastic, but more than enough to kick
• 0:32
  my old butt.
• 0:35
  So bottom line, though, is
• 0:38
  I'm still hanging on to that eighth spot
• 0:40
  in the playoffs.
• 0:43
  Next week, this may be my last week
• 0:45
  talking about the league because if I
• 0:47
  don't hang on to it, I'm out. If not, I
• 0:48
  at least get into the first round and
• 0:51
  we'll see where we go from there.
• 0:53
  Big sad news in the CFL right
• 0:56
  now is that Larry Thompson the.
• 0:59
  New owner of the Elks took
• 1:02
  over last year, has passed away at
• 1:05
  65. I'm told it was complications from a
• 1:08
  surgery. I'm not sure more than
• 1:11
  that. I definitely our condolences here
• 1:13
  from all the CF L outsiders
• 1:16
  to his family, friends.
• 1:19
  Hate to see anyone pass at 65, that's far
• 1:22
  too young, but. It's also part
• 1:25
  of the reality of it so.
• 1:27
  Like life football goes on so
• 1:30
  let's take a look at what we've got this
• 1:32
  week we've got the first game
• 1:34
  is Montreal
• 1:37
  hosting Calgary
• 1:39
  now VA is back in there
• 1:41
  and they had that hit on
• 1:44
  him that looked very concussion like the
• 1:47
  way that he reacted he.
• 1:50
  Was doing the drunkards walk trying to
• 1:52
  get up and whatnot but they say it's a
• 1:54
  back injury and he's ready to play so.
• 1:59
  I guess we trust their coaching staff or
• 2:01
  their medical staff.
• 2:03
  Given that, though, he's up against that
• 2:05
  Montreal defence, which is really good.
• 2:07
  They beat him with McLeod, Bethel,
• 2:08
  Thompson in earlier in the season in
• 2:11
  Calgary. This is a game in
• 2:13
  Montreal. They may get up some
• 2:15
  points, so I'm certainly not going to
• 2:18
  trust VA again as my captain.
• 2:21
  Mills, you can, people can run on that
• 2:23
  Montreal defence and that could be a big
• 2:25
  chunk of what they're trying to do to
• 2:26
  soften it up. So Mills might be a very
• 2:28
  good choice here on the Calgary side of
• 2:31
  things other than that.
• 2:33
  Someone like maybe Alfred if he's cheap.
• 2:37
  I don't know that I would jump on any of
• 2:39
  the uh receivers because
• 2:42
  even if. They do
• 2:45
  well and Calgary wins. This VA just
• 2:47
  spreads the ball around so much it's hard
• 2:49
  to tell who's going to get it
• 2:51
  now when we go to the Montreal side.
• 2:54
  And I guess I should say in both of these
• 2:55
  games, there's not a lot of changes other
• 2:58
  than. Bas back in there, which was
• 3:01
  unexpected and.
• 3:03
  Alexander's back now
• 3:05
  he wins this game tonight, he gets the
• 3:07
  record for 9 consecutive starts at the
• 3:10
  start of a career. So that's impressive,
• 3:13
  but he's going to be a little bit rusty I
• 3:14
  would expect. And even when he's been in
• 3:17
  there, they haven't been blowing teams
• 3:19
  out so. I'm a
• 3:21
  little leery here. Philpot maybe?
• 3:24
  Philpot might be a good one. I don't
• 3:26
  think I would go with the quarterback at
• 3:27
  all. The next game tonight.
• 3:30
  Toronto at BC and this
• 3:33
  one. Arbuckle's back in for Toronto.
• 3:36
  It's could be a bit of a barn burner if
• 3:38
  he hadn't. Hurt his leg. I
• 3:41
  might be tempted to pick him
• 3:44
  but I don't know if he seems like they're
• 3:46
  rushing him back trying to get him in
• 3:48
  there. So I don't know how well he'll do
• 3:50
  and if he'll play for long.
• 3:52
  Other than that Brissette, I'm not sure
• 3:55
  where he's at. He might be a reasonable
• 3:56
  value play and I think probably her
• 3:59
  slow. Definitely and Pulp depending.
• 4:02
  Again, Pulk's back early. I don't know
• 4:04
  what the value is on him. If you can get
• 4:06
  him for somewhere around 9 or 10,
• 4:09
  it might be a a very good bet.
• 4:13
  Other than that though, not too many
• 4:14
  changes for them either. So
• 4:17
  were basically. Going to see what we saw
• 4:20
  last week with Arbuckle back. And
• 4:23
  on the other side, BC is looking fairly
• 4:26
  healthy all the way through. Don't forget
• 4:28
  Betts is what he's on 6
• 4:30
  sacks for the last two games, so he's
• 4:33
  on a little bit of a roll and.
• 4:37
  That might be something to keep in mind
• 4:39
  as we go through this. Now
• 4:43
  I think. I think this week
• 4:45
  probably everyone's going to take Nathan
• 4:47
  against the Toronto defence. You got to
• 4:50
  give it your you figure it's your best
• 4:51
  chance.
• 4:54
  Defensive if nothing else. And then from
• 4:57
  there, who do you team them up with?
• 4:58
  Well, Hatcher or Mcinnis, they're both
• 4:59
  good. Eberhardt, it's probably a matter
• 5:02
  of price and what else you can fit into
• 5:04
  there. Now I was hoping,
• 5:07
  I should have mentioned I was hoping to
• 5:09
  get a running back out of this game. I
• 5:11
  was hoping Butler would be out again. I
• 5:13
  could get Horvath cheap, but I couldn't
• 5:15
  while he's on there, but he won't be
• 5:16
  doing too much at all. Uh, whereas I
• 5:19
  should have mentioned in that Montreal
• 5:21
  game, Stevie Scott, the third is I
• 5:24
  think about four grand and he's a
• 5:26
  starting running back. So probably worth
• 5:29
  saving some money there
• 5:30
  Butler's back here. Broxton is back
• 5:33
  at tackle, which is good, but they have a
• 5:35
  lost Bellevue at the back end, which.
• 5:39
  Could hurt with the way that our buckles
• 5:41
  passed lately. So anyway, that's what I
• 5:44
  would do there if you're going to go for
• 5:46
  a high-priced running back. Butler might
• 5:49
  be good, he is coming back. Will he be
• 5:51
  full speed? I don't know, but that
• 5:53
  Toronto defence is relatively easy to run
• 5:56
  against.
• 5:57
  That takes us to the next game. Hey,
• 5:59
  Hamilton at Winnipeg, and I mean, who
• 6:01
  knows? Winnipeg won last week
• 6:04
  with three passes, 54 yards. So
• 6:07
  I don't know, split. Clarice is back in
• 6:10
  there. He may light it up. He may have a
• 6:13
  bad game. He may be out on the second
• 6:15
  play. I have no idea. I have no faith
• 6:18
  as far as getting anyone from this
• 6:21
  game. Oliveira probably,
• 6:24
  maybe has. Some good
• 6:26
  yardage, but they've been running him a
• 6:28
  lot more when Strebler's playing and less
• 6:30
  when Zach is in there, so that's a little
• 6:33
  questionable. Demski usually gets
• 6:35
  catches, but didn't get even one last
• 6:37
  week. Mind you they only had three, so I
• 6:38
  don't know. And the other thing
• 6:41
  is they sometimes hit Claire CS
• 6:43
  out. On that wide side when
• 6:46
  they go against some of the soft zones
• 6:48
  that are there. So he might be a thought.
• 6:51
  oh, they've also got Jared Stearns back.
• 6:54
  So are you thinking is he rusty or not?
• 6:56
  He was doing fairly well with what was
• 6:59
  going on. Wheat fill is out. So
• 7:03
  we'll see exactly where that all comes
• 7:05
  out to. Hamilton, on the other hand,
• 7:08
  looks like they're at full strength.
• 7:10
  Beau would be a usually a pretty darn
• 7:12
  good pick here, but they've been running
• 7:14
  Bell hard and he's been getting a lot of
• 7:16
  yards and I think this is them saying
• 7:18
  we're coming down to the playoffs now.
• 7:19
  Time to start using this.
• 7:22
  Belle might be a good choice. Mitchell, I
• 7:25
  don't think you go wrong, but I don't
• 7:26
  know if he'll keep up with what Nathan
• 7:28
  might do. Odin, BC
• 7:31
  and then receivers, of course. You got
• 7:32
  Lawler White. You got T Andre Smith,
• 7:35
  who's not quite 15 Ki believe,
• 7:38
  so there's some options there. And then
• 7:41
  we go out to the Saskatchewan
• 7:43
  Edmonton game and the biggest
• 7:46
  change here for Saskatchewan is they
• 7:48
  still have their
• 7:50
  string safety, Kosya Nyaka, who's mind
• 7:53
  you, he's played back there a couple of
• 7:54
  games pretty good and Dulcie is now
• 7:56
  backing him up. And they didn't get
• 7:58
  Campbell back last time they didn't have
• 8:00
  Campbell. Calgary lit them
• 8:03
  up with Alford and then last week Exomega
• 8:06
  just picked on all over the place. So
• 8:09
  they moved SAP, who was the other first
• 8:11
  time starter over to that side now and ex
• 8:13
  mates the backup. I'm I'm
• 8:16
  hoping this all goes well. But anyway,
• 8:18
  with that said. Cody to
• 8:21
  me isn't a huge fancy guy unless he
• 8:23
  starts running in some touchdowns.
• 8:27
  But maybe, and something that I think
• 8:29
  is a choice worth going to is
• 8:32
  either Julian Grant if you want to spend
• 8:35
  some money, or maybe a cheaper one,
• 8:36
  Hilaire for Edmonton.
• 8:38
  both play on that field side where
• 8:41
  SAP is out there. They may be
• 8:44
  trying to take advantage of them, so that
• 8:45
  might be worth something. And on the
• 8:47
  Saskatchewan side, while they get endless
• 8:49
  back, which is tempting, but
• 8:52
  he may have some rust to knock
• 8:54
  off so I don't know.
• 8:57
  If I have to go for a higher priced
• 8:59
  running back, maybe AJ
• 9:01
  here he's. Rends
• 9:04
  fairly well the hence the Elk
• 9:07
  they may be and Elk has got are basically
• 9:10
  their line has been decimated that Ceresna
• 9:12
  's out Brinkman now looks like he's out
• 9:14
  Robby Smith is out is just
• 9:16
  it's not looking great and they're two
• 9:19
  linebackers they're down to the Blanco
• 9:22
  and what was it Morgenstein I think is
• 9:24
  the other fellow's name Morganson
• 9:27
  yeah so they played not bad but I have a
• 9:30
  feeling Saskatchewan can run here so on
• 9:32
  that side I might do that they. Also
• 9:34
  got Sean Main Junior back in as the
• 9:36
  returner so I wouldn't be grabbing him.
• 9:39
  But a Joe Ajo had I think 8 for 11
• 9:42
  and about 60 or 70 yards last week, so he
• 9:45
  would have been fairly good and.
• 9:49
  Kneeled. I don't know where he's at, but
• 9:51
  he may he's he's been playing well for
• 9:54
  them and getting some long catches and he
• 9:56
  seems like he's become very quickly a
• 9:57
  Trevor security blanket. Some
• 10:00
  might consider that. Some met
• 10:03
  all over the place in this week
• 10:06
  and I need to win. I think I'm going
• 10:09
  to probably look at first of all loading
• 10:11
  up on BC or at least
• 10:14
  Nathan and one other and then we'll look
• 10:16
  at from there. I'm going to see how cheap
• 10:18
  I can go on running backs and get
• 10:20
  anything worth doing and then
• 10:22
  we'll fill it in from there. Last
• 10:25
  thing is. I'll just, if nothing
• 10:28
  else, I'll take the cheapest defence I
• 10:30
  can find. So that's it.
• 10:33
  We're going to fire up, pick them on the
• 10:35
  old computer here, pick out the team
• 10:38
  maybe for the last real meaningful time
• 10:41
  this season and see what we
• 10:44
  get.
• 10:45
  OK, here we go. So we said we wanted to
• 10:47
  get Nathan in at quarterback
• 10:50
  because I think everybody's going to have
• 10:53
  him. And then we wanted some running
• 10:55
  backs and we wanted the cheapest ones
• 10:57
  that we could find. So let's do this by.
• 11:00
  Price. And go
• 11:03
  the other way around. Flip
• 11:06
  that up there. So these are the really
• 11:08
  cheap guys here and most of them are not
• 11:10
  going to get me much yardage at all
• 11:13
  because their backups and everything. But
• 11:16
  I do not want to pay too much for the 1.
• 11:18
  So there we get to.
• 11:20
  Stevie Scott.
• 11:23
  OK. And then the
• 11:26
  next one that we get up to is McMahon,
• 11:28
  who's a backup. Horvath is hired as a
• 11:31
  backup. Oh, look at this. Adam
• 11:34
  Boys not even playing this week. Brown is
• 11:37
  8.8 K. Well, I
• 11:39
  think I'm going to. You know what, I'm
• 11:42
  going to take a chance that leak might do
• 11:45
  something nice there at 4
• 11:47
  K. Did they get them in?
• 11:50
  You never know. He breaks through the
• 11:52
  line, he might get something.
• 11:54
  So that leaves me. I can team up my wide
• 11:57
  receivers now,
• 11:59
  It might be a scary strategy, but let's
• 12:01
  start with BC and see
• 12:04
  If we take Hatcher and Mcinnis, they're
• 12:06
  both up there quite a bit, but that
• 12:09
  covers off maybe a lot of the scoring.
• 12:11
  Leaves 17K for two more players, so
• 12:14
  that's possible to do.
• 12:16
  Over here. Go to
• 12:18
  Toronto and look for Herslow at
• 12:21
  12. That leaves me
• 12:23
  5.9.
• 12:28
  And what can I get for 5.9 on
• 12:31
  defence?got? Ottawa No
• 12:33
  4.7. What do I have here? I
• 12:36
  have 5.9 so I can afford.
• 12:40
  BC or him or
• 12:42
  Hamilton?And you know what?
• 12:46
  Zak throws some picks and so does Strev.
• 12:50
  So. Let's go with the Hamilton
• 12:53
  defence there just because that's not
• 12:55
  bad. Leaves me 4K
• 12:58
  It's a little bad,
• 13:01
  disconnected and con confled
• 13:03
  here today the way I've gone through
• 13:05
  this. But I think I like this and we'll
• 13:07
  make Nathan the captain, so unless he
• 13:10
  lets me down again, but I'm guessing that
• 13:12
  whoever I'm playing against is going to
• 13:13
  have him do so. We'll see. So here we
• 13:16
  go, Hamilton Tiger Cat defence
• 13:19
  Nathan Rourke out of the BC Lions as
• 13:21
  captain and quarterback.
• 13:24
  Stevie Scott, the third out Of Montreal,
• 13:26
  and Joan Leek out of.
• 13:29
  Edmonton are my running Macs, my wide
• 13:32
  receivers are both BC hoping that uh,
• 13:35
  they have a big game, Keon Hatcher
• 13:38
  and Justin Mckinnis. And
• 13:40
  then jumping Jake Herslow
• 13:43
  There we go.
• 13:46
  Locked in.
• 13:48
  And there's what we've got.
• 13:51
  Wish me luck.
• 13:55
  Ah, I don't know, I.
• 13:58
  As usual, my normal disclaimer, there's
• 14:01
  my pics. Use em at your own peril. I'm
• 14:04
  still. In the playoff picture, which, you
• 14:07
  know, means I'm not doing that terrible,
• 14:09
  I guess. Thank you for this. I will
• 14:12
  be back next week whether I win or lose
• 14:14
  because I'll play out the rest of the
• 14:16
  season here for anybody that's playing
• 14:17
  out other leagues or just playing to
• 14:19
  through the season. So we'll get that all
• 14:21
  in. So this won't be the final episode
• 14:23
  yet, but we'll have to find
• 14:26
  out. Thank you very much for everybody
• 14:28
  that's tuning in. It's good to see the
• 14:30
  number of viewers, watchers, listeners,
• 14:33
  whatever, grow every week. I joke
• 14:35
  around a lot about the subscribe thing
• 14:37
  and try and keep it light hearted, but it
• 14:39
  really does. Help a lot.
• 14:42
  The more the subscribers we get, the more
• 14:44
  people that YouTube points towards us
• 14:47
  it's with, the more we grow this channel.
• 14:48

  you're getting entertained from it, then

  please subscribe. Hit the like
• 14:58
  button, leave a comment, all them things

  both YouTube and your pod catch. I can
• 15:06
  don't know that you can leave a comment,
• 15:07
  but give us a good rating on the pod
• 15:09
  catcher and definitely the subscribe part
• 15:11
  helps. I guess that's
• 15:14
  just about it. Huh.
• 15:18
  Big news this week. I'm still not quite
• 15:21
  settled in on that.
• 15:22
  No point talking about it here on this
• 15:25
  podcast but. It's been a roller
• 15:27
  coaster weekend. I just hope that we get
• 15:30
  some fantastic.
• 15:33
  Canadian football games this
• 15:35
  weekend, I hope they all come right down
• 15:38
  to the wire and doesn't matter if they're
• 15:40
  huge, high scoring. I disagree with that
• 15:42
  thing that oh, we've got to have many
• 15:44
  more touchdowns. Give me good, tight
• 15:46
  competitive games, keep me on the edge of
• 15:48
  my seat.
• 15:49
  O man signing off.
