Henry Burris has jumped on the Cody Fajardo bandwagon with both feet.

The CFL on TSN analyst and former Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback was on the sideline when Fajardo threw for 360 yards, two touchdowns and rushed for another as his Riders lost 44-41 to the host Ottawa Redblacks on June 20.

With the Toronto Argonauts visiting the Roughriders on Monday, Burris doesn’t expect a drop-off in Fajardo’s production. The Argonauts (0-1) are coming off a 64-14 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday.

“(Fajardo) has the perfect recipe to have success once again,” Burris said Thursday from Ottawa. “They are playing an Argos team that is struggling and defensively everybody expected much more from that team as a whole. How Toronto played was a big disappointment. We all thought that Hamilton was better than Toronto, but not 64-14 better.

“The biggest difference for Cody is he will be playing against a young secondary. The CFL is a passing league and when you have a bunch of young, new faces on the back end, that equals a loss in itself.”
