LaPolice finding positives among Redblacks' winless start

Despite a disappointing 0-3 start, Paul LaPolice is confident in the future of the season for the Ottawa Redblacks. 

Making his weekly appearance on TSN Radio 1200 Ottawa, LaPolice reflected on the close loss to the BC Lions on Thursday, specifically what he did and did not like about his team's performance.

"I thought we stopped the run very well ... in the second half I thought our defence started taking the ball away, created short fields and we were able to capitalize with touchdowns and a couple of two-point conversions." said LaPolice.

 "we just didn't do a good job executing and protecting the perimeter," he added. "We [allowed] a 70-yard pass play on a miscommunication in a blitz situation, we just can't give... we [gave up] two explosive plays, a 50-yarder and a 71-yarder for a touchdown and those are sometimes the difference."

Head coach of the Ottawa RedBlacks Paul LaPolice joins JR and Gord to recap the team's week 4 loss to BC, having patience with a new group, struggles moving the ball, and upcoming match-up in Saskatchewan.

Even though the Redblacks sit at 0-3 and second-from-last in the East , their -12 point differential is second-best in the conference. 

"We've showed signs, and the only teams we've played so far are undefeated, they've beaten everyone they've played and I thought we played well against them but we need to find a way to finish to win these games," said LaPolice.

The second-year head coach wants to make sure his players keep the right mindset with the rocky start to the season.

"I think I'm teaching the players more of a 'listen, in the Canadian Football League, everyone is going to have three losses by the end of the year.' We have to learn from what we can do to win the football
