Subscribe for weekly CFL film breakdowns and quarterback analysis: CFL Week 8 recap, Edmonton Elks vs Saskatchewan Roughriders, Cody Fajardo MOP race, Calgary Stampeders explosion, Winnipeg Blue Bombers struggles, Toronto Argonauts quarterback depth, Montreal Alouettes dominance, and every major storyline from another huge week in the Canadian Football League. In Episode 7 of See It Like Strev, Chris Streveler breaks down CFL Week 8 and why the Edmonton Elks might officially be a real Grey Cup contender. We start with the game of the year: Edmonton going into Saskatchewan and beating the Roughriders in a wild 36-34 finish. Cody Fajardo was unbelievable, throwing for over 500 yards and four touchdowns while leading Edmonton to a massive road win in Regina. With Justin Rankin held in check, Edmonton found another way to win, and that is what great football teams do. The Elks are no longer just a fun story. They look like a legitimate threat to win the West Division and compete for a Grey Cup. We also talk about Vincent Blanchard’s clutch walk-off field goal, Edmonton’s culture shift, and why Cody Fajardo belongs right in the middle of the CFL Most Outstanding Player conversation. Then we break down Calgary’s dominant 52-30 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Everything went wrong for Winnipeg, and Calgary took advantage. Tariq McAllister was electric with a rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown, and kick-six return touchdown. Vernon Adams Jr. continues to protect the football at a historic level, breaking the CFL record for most touchdowns without an interception. Are the Calgary Stampeders becoming a dangerous playoff team in the West? We also get into what Winnipeg needs to fix, why Brady Oliveira has to be a bigger part of the offense, and how important the next two games are for the Blue Bombers before their tough West Division stretch. From there, we break down the Toronto Argonauts beating the BC Lions, Chad Kelly leaving the game, Nick Arbuckle stepping in, and why quarterback depth is so important in the CFL. We also talk about BC’s quarterback situation with Chase Brice, Caden Salter, Nathan Rourke, and why the Lions need to get James Butler and the run game going. Finally, we break down the Montreal Alouettes beating the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Montreal continues to look like the team to beat in the East, even when Davis Alexander does not have his best game. Travis Theis had a huge performance on the ground, Cole Spieker got back involved, and the Alouettes defense made plays when it mattered. On the Hamilton side, we talk about Trey Ford, the need for designed quarterback runs, and how the Tiger-Cats can get their offense back on track. This week’s Seeing It Award goes to Cody Fajardo after a monster performance against his former team. Over 500 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, and a massive road win over the defending Grey Cup champions. Cody Fajardo is seeing it. We also look ahead to another big week in the CFL: BC Lions vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers Montreal Alouettes vs Ottawa REDBLACKS Calgary Stampeders vs Hamilton Tiger-Cats Saskatchewan Roughriders vs Edmonton Elks If you are a CFL fan looking for weekly CFL analysis, quarterback breakdowns, team rankings, Grey Cup contender talk, player insight, and football perspective from a former CFL and NFL quarterback, this is the place to be.
