Particularly taxing is that they were missing 10 Canadians. Expect that Ottawa will have to deal with a similar scenario when hosting the 0-3 defending Grey Cup champs — and for Dustin Crum to make his second consecutive start at quarterback. Dru Brown wore pads and threw passes on the sidelines at Thursday's practice, but Crum was once again taking first-team reps. Dyce could offer no timetable for Brown to return from a hip injury he suffered late in the season opener. 'We just take it day by day,' said Dyce. 'And go from there.' Has the importance of having a quality backup QB ever been more evident than this season? By the end of Week 4, it looks like as many as six of the nine teams will have had to turn to their backups. Like the Canadian fill-ins on the Redblacks roster, Crum stepped up in a big way against the Stamps. While the cold, rain, and high winds in Calgary were playing havoc with thrown balls, he would have completed 16 of 22 passes had seven not been dropped by receivers. More importantly, Crum didn't commit a single turnover and showed more patience than he has in the past by looking for his second and third receiving options before taking off with the ball. 'We always ask more from everybody,' said Dyce. 'But we were very happy with what Dustin did. I thought he had great command of the offence.' Crum says he hasn't had a peek ahead to Sunday's forecast, but knows that whatever it brings will be refreshing compared to the 'ridiculous' conditions at McMahon Stadium last week, which he maintains were 'probably the roughest I've ever played in for throwing.' In making his 15th CFL start, but first in more than 600 days dating back to 2023, when he was thrown to the wolves as a starter after entering camp fourth on the depth chart, Crum discovered a comfortable level and the 'game slowed down a little bit' for him. 'You hear a lot of guys talk about quarterbacks just having a grasp of everything going on …. it felt good to be out there with the guys and get to do that and feel the game speed,' he said. 'Slowing things down and being able to see each thing for what it is, knowing where people are and when they're going to be there, that's what helps. Sometimes you cannot see when a quarterback gets a little frantic, or when the pace of the plays gets them a little bit. So to be able to almost orchestrate or know what's going on to a degree, I would say I felt probably the best I've felt up here in the league so far. 'Obviously, whenever you establish a run game the way we did, it's huge for a quarterback and helps him get into the game as well,' he added. 'So it was really in a lot of different factors to it, but it definitely felt good, and it was something to build off.' Crum did a lot of action in last season's 22-22 tie at TD Place with the Roughriders, when he entered the game after Brown was injured and completed 21 of 32 passes for 211 yards, but this will be his first home start since Oct. 28, 2023, when the Redblacks closed out their season with a 27-22 loss to the Argonauts. Crum's favourite target that day was Justin Hardy, who pulled in six catches for 119 yards, but last season's nominee for the most outstanding player on the Redblacks has been a non-factor in the last two weeks. Hardy's string of consecutive 100-yard games carried over from 2024 and extended to five in the season opener, but against Montreal in Week 2, he had just two catches for 20 yards, and in Calgary had just one grab for five yards. While it looks like he misses the chemistry he has with Brown, it's not a thought Hardy has entertained. 'I feel like I just need to be the security blanket that all quarterbacks want,' said the 33-year-old former Atlanta Falcon. 'Just make sure that they feel comfortable whenever they are in the game, whoever it is. Just make sure they've got somebody they can trust and know, okay, I can count on this guy. I just like to make sure I'm doing that no matter who's in.' Meanwhile, Hardy is full of praise for Crum and his development with the Redbacks over three years — the same amount of time it has taken many QBs to hit their stride in the Canadian game. 'Coming in as a rookie, he was just getting to know the rules and trying to learn how to play quarterback in the CFL, which is a little bit different down south,' said Hardy. 'So just seeing the growth now from then until now has just been tremendous. 'He's been a great player, student of the game, throws a great ball, understands the offence, understands what he's looking at. So I'm happy for him.'

Why Jay Frye used Al Pacino's speech to set tone for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing
ELKHART LAKE, Wis. — Though they ultimately weren't left kissing the bricks as they'd hoped, and as it appeared they very well might be part way through this year's Indianapolis 500, Jay Frye felt he and his Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team had built some noted momentum coming out of the Month of May unlike RLL had experienced since it's victory in 2020. Weeks into his tenure as the team's new president, a role Frye took over mid-April at the Long Beach Grand Prix, Frye, the old Missouri tight end and offensive tackle sat the team down and played Al Pacino's locker room speech from "Any Given Sunday" in an attempt to instill the importance of 'inches' to the race team that has had flashes of brilliance over the last couple years but largely has fallen deep into the mid-pack after years of darkhorse title contention with Graham Rahal. 'The inches we need are everywhere around us," the speech goes. "They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch, because we know that when we add up all those inches, that's going to make the (expletive) difference between winning and losing.' With all three cars in the Fast Six at the IMS road course and a challenge for the win by Rahal, the team found some inches. They found a few more in leading the most laps in the 500, qualifying a car on the front row and landing a pair of top-12 finishes for the team's two youngest drivers. But in the two weeks since — races that have included four crashed cars, three did-not-finishes and no finishes better than 20th across all three of the team's full-time cars — RLL has left yards' worth of inches strewn across the track. Road America, Frye told IndyStar, marks an opportunity to spool back up some momentum. 'We've shot ourselves in the foot a lot and lost a lot of points, and we can't do that. There's things we have to do to adjust and make sure that type of stuff doesn't happen,' Frye told IndyStar, hours ahead of what proved to be a dismal night at World Wide Technology Raceway for RLL, with Rahal 22nd eight laps down on pace, Devlin DeFrancesco 43 laps down in 23rd after a Lap 4 crash the team managed to repair and rookie Louis Foster in 26th by virtue of a crash caused by drifting too high into the marbles and ending up in the wall before he'd be T-boned by Josef Newgarden. 'We had a team meeting (a couple weeks ago), and I showed the team that clip … and that's what this is," he continued. "There's little things all around you, and if you don't take advantage of them or capitalize on them, and you mess that inch up, you end up 20th, and we should've finished 12th. When our cars have been fast, we've finished 20th, and when our cars are not as fast, we've been finishing 20th. You've got to find a way to build that momentum and get it going.' 'You have to reprogram your whole mind': Fired by IndyCar, Jay Frye talks new role with RLL Entering this weekend, both Foster and DeFranesco, 24th and 25th in points respectively, sit outside the all-important Leaders Circle spots that pay the top 22 charter-holding IndyCar entrants more than $1.1 million the following year. At the moment, the Nos. 45 and 30 cars sit 23rd and 24th — with Rahal's No. 15 plummeting down to 18th after sitting 13th following his season-best sixth-place finish on the IMS road course. Over the last four years at Road America, RLL has taken a liking to the National Park of Speed, with eight finishes of 11th or better out of 11 starts. In 10 career starts at the track, Rahal has only finished outside the top 11 once and has a pair of podiums in 2007 and 2016. With its billiard table-smooth surface, Road America offers some similarities to the IMS road course, a track RLL has shined at across the board in recent years, giving Frye hope Saturday's qualifying and Sunday's race can act as a spring board for the team ahead of a jam-packed July without an off weekend. 'There's so much good here. There's a lot of really good things, but again, it's just about piecing it all together and getting some momentum on our side,' Frye said. 'We really need to finish where we're running. You've got to maximize what we've got, and we need to build momentum and finish the year strong and build into 2026. That's the key. 'Momentum is a funny thing.' Insider: Jay Frye was once IndyCar's change agent, until he no longer fit the Penske mold Reflecting back on his previous life as a NASCAR team executive, Frye pointed to his days atop MB2 Motorsports in 2007, where driver Mark Martin finished 0.02 seconds from a Daytona 500 win, and then went on a tear for the otherwise mid-pack team and led the points for several weeks at the start of that year. 'And then there's other times where you've having trouble, and you can work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and you can't get out of (a rut),' he said. 'We're not struggling. There's good things that have been happening, except it's been inconsistent. Momentum is real, and I felt like we were building some coming out of May and had three or four things happen, and we don't get a good result, and there went that momentum. 'We've got to stop that.'
