That Pederson can run!

As much as I should be happy for Buck getting a head coaching gig in BC, I just can't pull for him. I'm more thank God he's gone than he deserved the job & sad to see him go.

i always wished the Brian Wilson had written one more verse. Great song but I feel it's too short.

QB Tommy Stevens

We're $400,000 under the cap so... The personnel decisions being made by the Bombers Walters & Osh are just head scratching. Make no sense.

Rest In Peace, Brian Wilson. You were a tormented musical genius... but gave the world such great music. You'll be missed. This one really hurts for me....

Jake Thomas starting....

Thank you.

Yes, Streveler never played Ford. You said Ford outplayed Streveler. Again, your words. Manziel never got his pension. Ford is the worst starter in the CFL. That is a fact. It's not even close. He's 9th out of 9. The only reason Fajardo isn't playing is the wish that a Canadian qb can win the Elks some games which explains why the Elks having been such a losing organization for years. They've made the qb position political. They aren't playing Cody Fajardo, the best qb on the Elks roster that gives them the best chance to win. Ford will win some games. Maybe 3 or 4. They gave Ford starter money but he's never proved anything. He ain't worth it. Maybe he will be worth it, someday. Right now, he's a coach killer.

One more hit & they're both done for the season.

It is relevant. Injuries affect everyone differently. don't know how that injury will affect him. He may be able to put it out of his mind & play or it may change his style of play. As Booch said on another thread, Streveler has reinvened himself as a qb throwing the new way so his fundamentals now are very good. I"ve been following Chris on Instagram this off season in Arizona & I've sent video clips to Booch & others here so we've all seen the transformation. He doesn't look like a qb who just wants to be known for his tough running ability anymore. He want to be known as a qb who can win games with his arm as well for the Bombers. This is his time to show he can play.

Ford outplayed Streveler? They've never faced each other. That's a crappy take, c'mon. I haven't seen Ford outplay anyone. He relies on his athleticism & not his brains. Wait till he blows out his knee or achilles. Unfortunately, with his style of play, it's coming. Hey, has Tre Ford got his NFL pension like Streveler? Just asking...

My wife makes great potato salad. I'd invite all of you over for supper but then there'd be less for me.

Some guys have it & others don't. From what I've seen, Ford doesn't. Great athleticism will only take you so far. At some point, he has to show that he belongs in the CFL as a starter. Or he'll be demoted to short yardage. Then out the door. Mark Killam is in his first year & I'd say he has a year & a half to show he is an actual CFL Head Coach as well. He doesn't need to be anchored down with a 7 game losing streak his first year just because he wants a starting Canadian qb. I can almost guarantee the clock is ticking on Ford.

Chis Streveler hasn't started 19 cfl games like Tre Ford. Just a handful. In that time, Ford has shown that he can't read a defense if his life depends upon it. If his first read is covered then he's lost & runs around like a chicken with his head cut off praying one of his receivers will play the scramble drill & get open. Of course one always does & it saves his bacon but that kind of play is unsustainable. That happened on one play on Saturday. Then the next play he throws a high pass & nearly gets his receiver killed. Another had his head taken off. Other passes were overthrown or in the dirt like he has no clue how to throw the ball. Ford looks the same as he did the last two seasons. Like Little Boy Lost out there. There's been zero improvement in his play. By now, he should be making strides & showing improvement but he isn't. That should be concerning to the Elks as well as their fans. He really should be playing 100% RPO as that's the only way he has a chance to be even a little bit successful. Yet, they expect him to throw from the pocket & it's a disaster. I don't know if Ford plays video games in meetings or is too lazy to study but he appears to have learned nothing in all the meetings & tutelage he has had since he was drafted by Edmonton. I'm glad he's in Edmonton & not here. He can stay there. Streveler was never allowed to be a regular CFL qb under Buck Pierce who made him a role playing qb nearly killing him by being a run first qb. The game vs Ottawa last season at home showed what kind of coordinator Buck was the way he played Streveler & I'm glad he's gone.

Close enough that I think it was the right call & it was targeting. Refs have to call that on the field. They don't have the benefit of replays slowing it down.

Have you blown out your knee or shoulder? If you haven't, then it's no wonder it makes no sense to you. Lisfrancs fracture of the midfoot injury.

Unless you've suffered a serious injury, you have no way of knowing how Streveler will react to contact on hi lower body, specifically his knee. You can cage that dog. I know from personal experience of what I say. We'll see how he handles it. Just let him throw the ball like every other qb does.

If you pause the video at the time of the hit you can see it's helmet to helmet. The Lions get called for rough play & they celebrate a head shot on X.

I don't know what game you saw last night but that was or nearly was a helmet to helmet hit. If the DB did use his shoulder it was right at or near the head. Rough play was the right call. In this era of football, that's called every time.

Foucault is just so bad. His passport keeps him employed in the CFL.

Where's the great Sukh Chungh? Gittens could have signed with us. Or stayed in Toronto. he'll be lucky to break 500 yards in Edmonton. Even with a game breaker I doubt it would make much of a difference. With Ford in there running wild & improvising that whole offense is a cluster****.

The Lions DB targeted the head of the Elks receiver with his helmet. Both lost their helmets. This isn't 1980 anymore. Players need to be protected. Good call.

If I was an Elks fan, having Ford as the starter would drive me nuts. His play at qb is all over the place. There's no consistency, rhyme or reason to how he plays qb. Ford makes an outstanding play that takes 18 seconds to run as he makes chicken salad out of chicken feathers. But for every 1 big play he makes, he makes 5 lousy ones. Just watching him, it's all based on athletic ability & not on football smarts. I think by mid season, he'll be sitting again & Fajardo the starter with the Elks at 1-8 or 2-7. Ford won't have any receivers left by season's end.

I've never seen Brown take off & run downfield. Or use his legs to get a first down. At best, he can avoid the first couple of tacklers that break thru the LOS & then gets sacked.
