In this episode of the CFL This Week on the Ticats Audio Network, host Bubba O'Neil is joined by an all-star panel including Matt Rose of Sportsnet 960 THE FAN, Farhan Lalji of TSN, and Argos Reporter David Morassutti of Sportsnet to break down the biggest stories from Week 11 in the CFL. The discussion kicks off with the return of Chris Jones to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as a defensive assistant. What impact can he have, and what does it mean for the Ticats' struggling defense? Next, the panel dives into the much-anticipated return of Nathan Rourke to the CFL. After his NFL stint, did the excitement around his return meet reality, or were expectations too high? The conversation then shifts to Jeremiah Masoli’s heartwarming comeback victory. After a long road of recovery, Masoli's triumphant return to the field is celebrated as one of the season's feel-good stories. The Montreal Alouettes find themselves in a quarterback dilemma as Davis Alexander steps up while Cody Fajardo recovers. Should the Alouettes stick with Fajardo or ride the hot hand with Alexander?
