We break down Thursday's CFL matchup between the Edmonton Elks and Ottawa REDBLACKS with colour analyst Jeff Avery, examining why Ottawa remains winless through five weeks and whether there are signs the team is on the verge of a breakthrough. We discuss Jake Maier's play after winning the starting quarterback job, the decision to move on from Dru Brown, Ryan Dinwiddie's first season at the helm and whether the REDBLACKS need more production from their ground game.

We also look at Edmonton's impressive 3-1 start, what's driving the Elks' early success and the key matchups that could decide this week's game.
