There are a lot of folks in RNation trying to play the dual role of coach and general manager right now.

Bench Dominique Davis and give Jonathon Jennings a shot at quarterback, replace starting running back Mossis Madu Jr. with John Crockett … swap out a receiver or two … make changes on defence. Maybe it’s that simple. Or maybe it’s not.

After opening the season with two wins, the Redblacks have now lost two straight — 29-14 to Winnipeg and 36-19 to Montreal Saturday. With many returning veterans — so you’d expect it to be better — the Ottawa defence has sprung big leaks in two of the four games. The offence has been shaky in three of the four. The scapegoat for the loss to the Blue Bombers was returner Ryan Lankford, who was released. It’ll be interesting to see what happens and who’s lined up in starting positions when the team returns to the field Monday.

“I’m not trying to be overly patient, but we want to be smart with the decisions we’re making,” said Redblacks coach Rick Campbell. “When you lose, you need to understand what’s right and what needs fixing. We’re not going to change for the sake of change. But we’ve never been afraid to try and get better with whatever that is — scheme or different player.”
