In this episode of CFL This Week, host Bubba O’Neil is joined by Former Defensive Tackle Eddie Steele, Jamie Nye - Host of The Green Zone on CJME, and TSN1050's Matthew Cauz to dissect the latest developments in the CFL. The team dives deep into the surprising quarterback change for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, where Taylor Powell is set to start over Bo Levi Mitchell following the team's tough loss to the Alouettes. The discussion explores whether this change is a result of Bo Levi Mitchell's turnovers or if there are deeper issues at play within the team.

The episode also features breaking news as Jamie Nye reports that Nathan Rourke is returning to the BC Lions, a move that sparks debate about its impact on the team and Vernon Adams Jr.'s future. The crew also reflects on a wild finish between the Redblacks and Roughriders and discusses the ongoing debate over the greatest returner in CFL history—could Janarion Grant really be the GOAT?
