Redblacks look to silence critics, including former QB, by beating unbeaten Eskimos
OTTAWA — With a 1-5-1 record it’s hardly surprising that frustration is starting to set in for the Ottawa Redblacks, but the defending Grey Cup champions believe they have plenty of time to turn the season around.
Finding a way to beat the undefeated Edmonton Eskimos (6-0) Thursday night at TD Place would go a long way toward silencing some of their critics, including their former star quarterback.
The Redblacks were still dealing with the sting of dropping a 33-30 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the dying minutes of the game last Friday when former quarterback Henry Burris released a number of tweets on Twitter Sunday afternoon that seemed to question the team’s current leadership.
Burris tweeted: “You can’t take the leadership of a team away and expect the same results. This is not the same Redblacks team from the last two years!!!”
