Byproduct of their DC. Was talking to some guys that went to the Winnipeg game and the night before the game some of the coaches were at the bar and apparently Shivers was the first guy there and the last guy to leave. This before what was seen at the time as the most important game of the season and the defense in turn played it's absolute worst game of the season being embarassed on every series.
Wow. Kind of wondered at some of that. Overall some of the coaching staff don't seem to have complete control of the club and Jones struggled with that majorly here but also due to I think some of the harder to coach and manage personalities on the club. Without going into detail Ford is a hard to manage player as well. He wants to do it his way. That doesn't always work so well in Football which requires system and play adherence vs players going off script too much.
Back to the D but I've seen stuff from players even on social media that is kind of iffy in preparation and attitude. The players seem to do their own thing and are an unpredictable bunch. Talent on the field for sure, but the discipline side to be prepared for a game, it doesn't always seem to be there. The latter often interferes with team progress.
Lewis is even on record this week, and was before game that he's "set himself up well for future contracts" he's here as a free agent, not as a real Elk. Its a me first vs team first and far too much of it on the club.
May as well say it. A D that is so easily satisfied at celebrating one play here or there is satisfied at very little. Its an odd look for a D that is 2nd last in league in a lot of categories to be so gung ho in whatever it is that they're celebrating.
