Greg Bell

How many times have we said this? When you're 0-4 for the season, there's a lot of blame to go around about who's not playing well enough, right? But the running game has not been there.

And Greg Bell was brought in, supposed to be a guy.

He has not really got the traction.

Now he's hurt.

You know what? If you look back to when William Stanback was brought in and he was, of course, the guy, you know, the, the, the big sort of name free agent and, and Adam Aboye got enough snaps that you could do some comparisons and the same thing happened so far this year.

Adam Aboye has a higher yards per carry average than either of those guys have had, and he doesn't get a ton of opportunity.

If you look around the league and you look at some of the great Canadian skill position players, obviously at the running back position, Brady Oliver is the first one you mentioned, but I have not understood, and again, this is not Greg Bell's fault.

It's not like he came in here and forgot how to play football.

Ottawa flies west.

Today, Greg Bell is not going to play.

He has been, and I think, and again, I'll maintain, through no fault of his own, not effective as a runner this year.

Daniel Adeboboye will start in his place.

That's tough.

If we look at the injury report for the Ottawa Red Blacks, it looks like Greg Bell's not going to be good to go as in practice.

So maybe it's going to be Daniel Adeboboye getting some carries here.

We'll see if he's going to get the rock against the Stampeders.

They are in all black today, moving from left to right.

They'll start with a swing pass to the near side, and it is taken by Greg Bell, I believe.

Yes, the running back will take it out to, well, the 40-yard line at second and 10.

Tavares McFadden is the reason that didn't go anywhere.

He beat his block on the edge, and while he didn't make the tackle, he held up the running back just enough for assistance to arrive, and that was Pickett, Darkangelo, and everybody else that flows so quickly to this football.

Greg Bell is the running back.

Justin Hardy, Aiden Everhart, Keelan White, Nick Mardner, and Kate McDonald are the starting receivers.

Second down and 10.

Take a, take a look.

If you wanna see one issue I can see with the Ottawa Redblacks team is they're not getting Greg Bell...

They're getting Greg Bell out of I don't know where, because he hasn't done much of anything for that team all season.

Uh, Ottawa destined to be one of the lowest rushing teams of, uh, of the, uh, what do you call, I think of the CFL, I think of the, of a season.

So I, that's part of the problem, is they aren't getting the run game going.

So, I don't know.

And, and it's weird, Kate, I always think this.

We're complain- We're talking about Ottawa not using Greg Bell, and that's, like, actually, like, an all-time record.

And you want to talk about highest paid players.

The highest paid running back was Greg Bell for the Ottawa Red Blacks.

And they haven't bothered using him at all.

And if they're not going to be able to run and Toronto's just going to have to pin their ears back and get after Jake, it could get ugly.

Gotcha.

Like Greg Bell and company.

Anyway.

BC is in Montreal.

That gets you on the podcast, Aiden.

Running back Greg Bell caught four of five for 39 yards.

Cade McDonald caught one of one for 16 yards.

Nick Mardner caught one of two for 11 yards.
