Ryan Dinwiddie, head coach of the Ottawa Redblacks, is downplaying the significance of facing his former team, the Toronto Argonauts, as his focus is solely on improving his team's performance. The Redblacks are looking to bounce back from a 29-21 loss to the Edmonton Elks in their season opener. Dinwiddie emphasizes the importance of the next game, targeting a 1-1 record. Concerns remain over discipline, with the team noting issues with turnovers and penalties from their first match.

By the Numbers
  • The Redblacks committed 10 penalties for 110 yards in their season opener.
  • Quarterback Chad Kelly of the Argonauts threw for 445 yards, with three touchdowns in their opening game.
State of Play
  • Both teams are 0-1 after losing their season openers.
  • Ottawa's Greg Bell will return from injury, adding depth to their offense.
What's Next

The Redblacks will debut new uniforms against the Argonauts and hope to implement a stronger game plan. Improved communication on defense is essential as they aim to disrupt Chad Kelly's play. With a focus on discipline, Ottawa is determined to rectify past mistakes to secure their first win of the season.

Bottom Line

For Dinwiddie and the Redblacks, this match isn't just personal but pivotal for the season. Improving discipline and performance will be crucial to avoid repeating past failures and to build momentum moving forward.
