Former Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris has his own theory as to why his former team has started the 2017 season 1-5-1 just one year removed from winning the Grey Cup.
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!!!

I’m happily retired.. but look at all the names that led and made plays for us to get us into and win the Grey Cup. They’re not here anymore

The Redblacks have lost players such as receivers Ernest Jackson and Chris Williams, Canadian running back Kienan LaFrance, defensive back Abdul Kanneh… and quarterback Henry Burris, who retired in January.
Of course, it might also be worth pointing out that the Redblacks have lost their six games by a combined 18 points and have had one of the tougher CFL schedules to date (two games against Calgary, one against Edmonton and a stretch that included three contests in 11 days.)
The response from some Redblacks fans …
Come out of retirement #Farve
