elks v lions... Edmonton team site:

• Despite the Elks 0-2 start, they enter the night averaging the second most yards per game in the CFL at 371. That’s second only to BC, who is the lone club to average over 400 yards per game (409).
• Former Edmonton QB Michael Reilly’s troublesome throwing elbow hasn’t equaled incompletions. Reilly leads the CFL in completion percentage at 75.4 per cent.
• Trevor Harris comes into the game as the CFL’s leading passer with 566 yards, just ahead of Reilly’s 545 yards.
• LOL Harris.

Over Stanback? 

Im definitely taking Stanback

Wilder is the least reliable back in the league and the biggest head case. This year standback is the best and in 19 he was just behind Harris. 

Brutal pass

oof, definitely a weird throw by Adams there.

dude has great moves, no doubt, but he can't make the tough yards like a Stanback or a Harris.

if he dresses for the job he wants, I see a great future for Wilder in the wet t-shirt contest industry.

Stanback is also a much better blocker. I'd take a true rookie over croptop. I wouldn't waste any time on a big back who will not run tough and puts no effort into blocking. 

I can say from personal experience as a fan that Wilder is a guy who is easy to throw off his game, and takes selfish penalties. I watched him jabber with other Bomber fans instead of focus on getting the job done when he played in Wpg with the Boatmen

Seems like some thing is hurting him.

He was favouring his throwing hand a few plays back after a pass.

These are better play calls on this drive. Now run it. 

liked Suitor's breakdown of the D rotation on the pick, but he overlooked how Adams completely missed the receiver.

also like seeing a young QB shaking it off and starting to roll.  CFL needs every young QB it can get.

there's a good throw to the field side.  CFL offence becomes much easier when you make 'em cover the whole field

Tough throw

Stamps on the move

Montreal's D ain't so hot 

like the escapability there, stepping up, eyes downfield.

Great play

Love it when a qb does that. Especially a young one. 

Game on.  Looked like a snoozer early on...

Litre mad at the ball

he actually had some room there, too, he could've tucked and ran, but he made the right decision while in the ****.

Very nice drive by Streveler in the Cards/KC game, ending in a beautiful TD pass. 

my observation is that the Edmonton o line is opening big holes for wilder.... he gets a lot of his yards before anyone hits him.

he sometimes breaks a tackle, but not very often. at least that's what I see.

no idea if he can block,  for passing plays. they dont throw to him much, so dont know if he can Catch.

dont think he would be wanted on an O shea /Walters /Mark F team.

he's catching some passes, he's got 13 catches for 105 yards ... lots of safety valve throws and T. Harris dinking.

He's a 235 pound scatback. he's got amazing moves for such a big man but you need a tough yard in a crowded box he's not your guy.

Tall upright runners like him never stay healthy.

Maier back to work, making quick decisions, delivering with timing and accuracy until he's let down by his RB.
