God is this team ever night and day with ford out.
He sure is but like Dunnigan said at half time--Ford is fearless but when you are then you are going to take a lot of licks.He just brings that moxie to everyone. No doubt he’s the straw that stirs the drink.
I will give him some credit in this game.Besides ending up on the wrong end of a 2 on 1 jump ball that was still the right play to make imo, MBT has been solid.
Yup, this is fun again.Slowly getting close to being back in the race. It sure is nice to actually want to watch the games again.
I have never underestimated Ford's ability but with his style you knew that he wasn't going to start 18 games (no quarterback in the CFL does) so the Eskies had to sign another arm. The problem was that Jone's didn't want to use them in tandem when Eskimo history said that duos proved to be very effective. Just silly stubborn on Jone's part.Suddenly Edmonton has the best QB depth in the league lmao
Nothing succeeds like success.Also suddenly Elks have a lot of playmakers
I actually wonder about his general well being. The man was in the liquid pretty heavy in Regina and then out of pro ball after the NFL experiment. And the implosion now in Edmonton Part Deux, it makes you wonder if he has spiralled somewhat. I hope he’s well.Also credit to the defensive coaches who made a critical change after Stanback started to rip them up in the first quarter.
They went to a five man rush with Anderson plugging up the middle instead of the 4 man rush that the D used at the start of the game.
Its interesting that since Jones departed (with his very stubborn 4 man or even 3 man rushes) that the D is suddenly getting some heat on the QB's. Not to mention the odd blitz.
That was what shocked me about Jones during the last few seasons. For a guy who built his reputation on innovative defenses he displayed no imagination whatsoever. 3 and 4 man rushes made a rookie backfield look even worse than they were. What was the guy thinking?
Nothing succeeds like success.
