June 18, 20232 yr comment_637985 BC doesn't scare me at all, great talent but not the same car as last year.
June 18, 20232 yr comment_637986 Stopped watching after the 3rd quarter. Edmonton kept on fumbling away any opportunities they may have had. Cornelius looks cooked. BC is a strong team but I still think we're quite a bit better.
June 18, 20232 yr comment_637988 I'm thinking Jones has 2 games to turn things around otherwise he's getting canned.   Getting blanked is embarrassing.   Corny is awful what a mistake.Â

June 18, 20232 yr comment_637994 Chris Jones and his ego is the problem. He's very Mike Kelly'ish. Always the smartest man in the room and no one is going to tell them different. Putting WR's at DB and all the other nonsense he's been known for. Having all his eggs in the Corny basket is going to cost him his job. Its almost like he's too American/NFL for the CFL. The whole "a QB has to be atleast 6'5" and possess a rocket arm" NFL bias garbage that has prevented a lot of great QB's from ever really getting a chance. I really hope its the last we see of that arrogant goof when he gets canned. Edited June 18, 20232 yr by Bubba Zanetti

Cui brings in plop to hc/gm etc and plop gives mbt major money to come to Edmonton.  Then the elk rise up above the riders and battle for a cross over spot.Â

Nobody worried about the league because we were down. Everybody loved it, at worst, and at best, didn't care. I'm not gonna sit here and feel sorry for anyone, least of all Chris Jones and the LOLks.

If they can Jones, because of the cap, I'd guess Geroy would assume full GM duties and someone like McAdoo would be HC for the remainder of the year. MBT is under contract in the AFL until the end of September so he wouldn't be up here in time to salvage anything for them.

Perhaps if he really wanted to, MBT can buy out his contract.Â

June 18, 20232 yr comment_638012 Corny is horrid...no touch...zero awareness out there on the field and I not sure he has enough between the ears to process what he sees and read a defense to know where to go with the ball...actually I don't think he sees anything...what a colossal screw up putting eggs in that basket If Jones doesn't start Ford next week he should be canned as Locksley isn't the answer either. Mitchel better step up his effort and attitude as well to back up his boasting..not being any kind of leader or example setter there. BC...again a team of show boaters and clowns...will be fun to watch wind get sucked out of their sails like last year...I don't see them being able to go toe to toe with us..
June 18, 20232 yr comment_638017 Edmonton should start Ford and they need to get rid of Jones ASAP. Its too bad because Cui seems to be doing a good job on the marketing side.

I think he’s doing 3-4 jobs for the elk. If a team fires a coach mid season it’d be nice if they gave some flexibility to bring some one in mid season to fill some role. A contract like jones could be a nightmare to replace mid season. Unless maybe they get some of the pro rated remaining cap back.Â
June 18, 20232 yr comment_638021 BC pitched a shutout for the 3rd time in team history. They are the best defense we will face so far. Marque game coming up on Thursday. I wish it was a Sunday game so BC has no excuses. Edmonton has a good defense, but that offense is offensive.  Edited June 18, 20232 yr by TBURGESS
June 18, 20232 yr comment_638023 Â When you look as hapless as the Elks look AND you get shut out in this league, I think it's time to have a real good look at your product on the field and the people in charge.....That was an abysmal effort by deadmonton .....not entertaining football at all, and it'll take a herculean effort to remain a fan of that club...I didn't see any redeeming factor for them...the qb. looks totally over rated....the receivers can't catch....and their running game is wanting...Oh boy have they got a lot of work to do.....Major airlift and replacements needed
June 18, 20232 yr comment_638026 We played them on a short week in back to back road games coming from a game in Toronto last year. How did that turn out? Â

You're almost forced to elevate an existing staff member if you want to make an in-season change  ironically, he's the reason the coaches cap exists in the first place. He has the player cap maxed out too, it's why they had to cut Castillo. They spent too heavy on receivers so even if MBT was available, i don't see how they could afford it.
June 18, 20232 yr comment_638028 No excuses. Any team, any time, anywhere. Â Think O'Shea would go on the podium and whine about a short week? Over his dead body
