Yep, when I broke down his total play off stats here I did the gcs too. It’s hideous. 

Yep..so was the play of his OL and his OCs playcalling. Certainly not all on Zac.

Elks vs. Eskimos debate returns to Edmonton football team

https://globalnews.ca/news/11200090/edmonton-football-team-eskimos-elks/

Guys, keep politics out of the thread.  

We’ve been so good for so long, please continue to abide by Rich’s wishes and forum rules.

I’ve pruned a few posts to get us back on track.

Might come down to a lust for money, he's American, he could probably go back home and make more.  I suspect he loves football and will look for an opportunity to get back into the CFL on another level, having gone the player rep. route and being involved with the CFLPA.  Hang around Wpg. and he could be in line for Wade's job when he's done, estimated wait time, within 5 years.

He's one of the Ride for Dads celebrity captions.

 I am sure he would have more opportunities in Winnipeg to make money than he would back in the US.

Most ex- Bombers that have stayed in Winnipeg have had successfull post playing careers. 

If Bighill and the family like Winnipeg and he has a great job here, why leave?

Fletcher released by the Als

Honestly can’t believe Robustelli didn’t make Sask active roster.

And for all the lack of Canadian OL…Erik Anderson goes back to school.

Both Herdman Reed brothers cut along with former bomber Tyrique McGhee.... Noah Zerr goes to the PR (surprised he's not at starters level yet, just based on the hype around him at his draft)...

Zerr was cut earlier in camp, he was only brought back due to a couple of injuries to their starters.

Looks like they are going 18-0.

10-8 ceiling....8-10 basement...Likely 9-9 with another mid season swoon of 5 or 6 game losing skid to crush any early optimistic hope and dreams...in front of on average 23k toothless cuzzin lovers

Argos had the balls to release Ka’Deem Carey because they feel like they have someone younger, and cheaper to replace him. This was after a 1000 yard season, 1400 total yards and 8 TD’s..  We have a few vets that don’t even have enough in the tank as Carey that im hoping today we move on from but I wont hold my breath.

Plus Cameron Dukes and Ciante Evans. Not quite brown or Carey but def Jake and kyrie ish. 

Pickup Dukes over Wilson?

It looked bad for Dukes on Friday. He started into a 3 club wind and just couldn't get going. Then in the second you'd think it would all come up Millhouse for him, but it didnt. By  the fourth quarter on with both our 4 & 5 QB having had better night's than our #3... One of whom had only been with us a week... And our QB2 is a GC MOP... It was going to be time to wish Cameron all the best in his future endeavors.

 

We had a very crowded RB room. And Coach Din isn't shy in parting ways with established backs (viz: Harris & Ouellette). 

 

I was more worried about having too many good OLs to use or protect. Wondering if a few might slip in the shower and get 6 gamed.

Interested to see which QB eventually is moved off the AR.  Wilson has really plateaued based on the preseason games.  Not very composed, hard to know execution but at least a few times where things didn’t operate smoothly to the naked eye when he was out there with QB Centre exchange, throwing to wrong guy on screen, ball not coming out quick when they were running more of that style offense in preseason for sure.

We could be worse. TiCats kept Josh Johnson on the PR. Looks like all the former bombers made the team

If Harris gets hurt, Saskatchewan is in a world of hurt because Maier is awful.

Jarrett Doege walks in the door and within 4 days shows Dinwiddie he's a smarter QB than Dukes.  2 days days later Dukes is evacuated through that same same door.
