Yet another abomination by the Elks. Last week Sunderland said "we need help" so in doing his part we added the following players:
1
2
3
Lots of help there..... (Can they fire me for that?)
The Edmonton Elks season ended abruptly in Week 9 versus the dreadful Ottawa Redblacks. When a team concedes "3" safeties in one game,it's like throwing in the towel in boxing ! Jamie Elizondo must be fired ASAP after the 30-3 thumping by the 8-1 Bombers at IGF Field in Week 10.
P.S. Football is truly the one team sport you cannot "Turn it on or OFF" like a light switch. Better luck to my favorite team next year in 2022.
I still have a nagging feeling Bombers will offer incentives and short money to Justin Medlock to solve their problem.
Perhaps a last 3 games of reg. season deal PLUS playoffs - if Bombers are toppled in the western final Medlock would still receive the equivalent of his Grey Cup cheque plus whatever bonuses Wad Miller can package up. (ie. FREE housing, restaurant certificates, shopping cards, FREE use of vehicle, etc.)
Look at how they picked up Bighill from BC as an example.
The new game strategy by the Elks is just to spot teams 3 safeties, the equivalent of a touchdown with a missed convert, in the hopes of averting 3 field goals or worse. "We'll save ourselves at least 3 points you know and with that kicker, we just might break even!"
At the next-level of such strategery, I figure a pick-six is thrown deliberately in the first quarter for the same numerical outcome but to save some valuable clock for a valiant comeback.
It's not the quarterback, it's our entire offensive system. Pretty obvious that once we snap the ball everyone on the field knows what play we are running.
Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.
