If Edmonton gets blown out again with a lopsided score.... do the Elks can Jones and try to salvage the season?

I think they made progress last week and nearly win that game. If they show growth again this week, he'll keep getting some leash. Cui had some quote the other day about how this isn't going to be a quick fix and that they're trying to fix this for the long term.

Which in all honesty is the best course of action...

Not dissimilar to where we were when The Trinity took over, right? The key for us (and will be for the L'ks) is patience.... It won't get fixed over night.

I don't know what the record is for hire and fire but this would probably rank up there. He's trying some creative stuff that will make you look like a genius or a tree that doesn't know what football even is.

The franchise rebuild situation is similar for sure.  

Hugely skeptical regarding Chris Jones being the right guy to pull off a Trinity-grade result.  GM, head coach and defensive coordinator?  Talk about doing lots and none of it well.

Players getting signed and cut by the boatload all season long, playing converted positions etc…. I can’t imagine stuff like that helps build a championship locker room culture.

Bombers did the front office rebuild the right way.  Miller to run the franchise, Walters to build the team, O’Shea to coach, and each vetted and selected in that order.  All football men devoted to the CFL.

Somehow the board in Edmonton decided that a smarter-than-thou mercenary could moneyball the team back to glory.  Guess we will see, or not!

The panel is neither entertaining or funny and I feel dumber for watching that opening, just tell me who is playing, who is not and who will win and why.

Charles Nelson starting at safety for the Elks, at least for a couple of plays and is returning punts

Yeah I don’t understand Jones fetish for playing players out of their natural position. Great for anyone who is playing the Elks though. 

 derel walker .... doesnt do much

Think he's been checked out since last yr..shocked he signed back there 

pretty marginal challenge imo

Since Tuesday, it was rumoured that BLM had tweaked his ankle & was doubtful to play. He only practiced Tuesday & was out the rest of the week. All week long it was doubtful, doubtful, doubtful. I ttuned in the game & Mitchell is playing. Do the Stamps pay the media to be their beeoch?? What a joke & they want fans to bet on games.

Haven't really seen Nelson playing safety... seems to be mostly #20

Jones did the same thing last week.  Had Antigha listed as safety for that game but he rarely, if ever, lined up there.

Arseneaux untouched. 

Could you imagine if Suitor was doing this game? #mannyarceneaux

That be some kind of licking for sure. Lol. Yet, “the defender didn’t turn his hips and the result is a touchdown”.

He got 2 plays on the opening Calgary series and was replaced

Wowza, Bo.

That was a throw and catch.

Ole Wilder!

Not sure how Arbuckle missed Judge being right there...giving Cal easy points.

I'm guessing he saw the db who was supposed to be there doing something else and just threw it to where there should have been a hole in the zone

Yeh Judge taking that pathoutside was dangerous AF.  If Lawler broke back inside and Arbuckle is on target he's got ACRES to run

Another dime from Mitchell

Arbuckle makes some bad reads

You fire Jones, you fire your GM, Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator. Those salaries are sunk.  No way you can pull together an experienced GM/Coaching crew with the cap space you have left.
