Key off-season additions Dru Brown and Adarius Pickett have led Ottawa to a 7-3-1 record through Labour Day Weekend, putting the team in position to make the playoffs for the first time since 2018.
After four consecutive seasons of last-place finishes in the East Division, the Ottawa Redblacks look to have righted the ship under general manager Shawn Burke and head coach Bob Dyce.
“We’re right in the mix,” said Pickett, who joined TSN1200’s Redblacks Radio Show on Tuesday. “It’s heating up, as you can see around the CFL. These games are close, they’re tight, the talent is dispersed really well throughout the league this year. “Personally, it’s another game for me,” said Pickett on facing the Double Blue on Saturday. “ a chance to go out there with my teammates and have some fun. We’ve been playing really well at home, hopefully we can play well in front of our home crowd again like we have been doing. We love the energy that they have been bringing to us.
“I definitely feel like me playing around this division, it’s always intriguing,” he said. This year in Ottawa, I feel like we have a very talented team, and as the record is showing right now."
