4:03
Yeah.
4:03
Because they get Benoit Marion back on special teams.
4:05
You mentioned Roland Milligan Jr., All CFL Defensive Player of the Year a couple seasons removed, so he hasn't played since the first half of the first game.
4:13
So he'll come back, provide some more stability to the secondary that has had a different starting crew each of the last four games.
4:20
And then up front, the defensive line's starting to come together.
4:22
Of course, there was turnover in the off-season, and that's starting to find its way and find its place, and the linebackers just continue to do what the linebackers do.
4:31
You mentioned the turnovers that the Edmonton Elks have been able to create in the last two weeks.

Uh, but your thoughts on how the west is starting to shake itself out a little bit right now.

Is there a chance that Shager could be the number two to start the season, or is, uh, uh, Jack Coan still gonna be that guy?
13:11
Never say never, right? Um, when it comes to the quarterbacking situation, first and foremost, right, point out the fact that what a luxury it is to, like, really believe that we've got guys that are capable behind Trevor Harris, right? Like, we do all have that belief, I'm hoping, right? And when it comes to Jack Coan, he too is from Trevor Harris' school in that he goes ahead, he reads defenses, he can understand defenses, and he can move the football quickly, right? So he's not in that 1.9, whatever it was, second range that Trevor Harris was from snap to release.
13:44
But if you look at the way Jack Coan has been working with Trevor Harris, you've got to believe that the two of them are gonna be one and two going into the regular season, at, at very least.
13:54
Just the amount of work that Jack Coan has put in.
13:56
He's having a terrific camp.
13:57
That is Trevor Harris' assessment, saying that he is impressed with the way that he's been able to run the offense when he's been watching and observing, and when they go back into film study together, he has been impressed.
14:08
That's being said, Brayden Shager, let's face it, sometimes you're looking for that it factor.

Does he win the spot over Alex Hale, given his passport?
