GDT Bombers east vs Stumps

[wpgallday1960]

I anticipated much better games yesterday.  Both were duds, IMO.  Ford is stil a work in progress at QB.  Seem to only have success running with the ball or scrambling then making a throw

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.

Ford looks more like Tyrie Adams than a guy ready for the #1 job, he either doesn't fully understand the strategic purpose of the routes his receivers are running or can't commit to the play being called.  Similar to his brother he seems to have a semi-focus on the play and over relies on his athleticism, which makes everything look like sandlot.

 Not to mention having an underwhelming receiving corps...doest help...no real legit game breaker

He is a free agent, maybe done with football. David Foucault and Anu Una are injured.

...and they still haven't brought Chungh back, it's got to be about more than just money.

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****.

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

He didnt target his head at all, you could see the Lions db put his right shoulder out and collided with the chest of the Elks receiver. The collision itself knocked the helmets off, not from a targeting.

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.

Yeah...Ford is more a gimmick guy than people claimed Strev was

Ford may have a few games where he wins..mainly from running around and getting lucky shots with guys busting coverage to cheat on the scrambling...but I don't see him being anything better than a .500 QB
