Not ideal...who got toasted ?? Too slow

Biggie
Nichols
Holm

Couldn't catch him.

Can't give Edmonton life

BA was coming in to stop him and got absolutely pasted by some lead blocker. Biggie didn't seem to care about trying to get to that hole. Must have been someone else's responsibility. Maybe it was Wilson.

Brown is mega fast though, that's what we first saw 1-2 years ago. You can't sleep on him. He's fast and shifty but small and easy to stop if you get him low and early (no power).

Castillo smiling on the kick off. Get ready to play . Some players not in it. Big hole. No one touched the running back

Is it windy ??

Our kickoff goes to the 15, theirs in the end zone

Ok. Heard it was windy...makes sense

can you say trap

TecnoGenius · August 11, 2023, 01:17:06 AM

EDM clearly psyched up and hyped with the new QB and new OC. Playing with a new energy and intensity we haven't seen at all all year.

Need to start smashing them in the mouth and demoralizing them or it'll be a long night. I've said all year Elks have the player talent on paper. Their problem was their brain/mentality/morale. Don't want allow them to activate their inherent talent. Need to crush their hopes.

Big hill looked like he thought play was going to the right. Stay on your position.

Pretty sure Biggie was taking his assigned hole. Our D likes to stuff holes: the "Hurl method". Pretty sure someone else was suposed to take that hole. Or for some crazy reason we thought it was going to be a pass play? It's a new QB whose passing is known to be a weak point and we didn't expect a ton of runs??

Hall sleeping too much in the booth?

nice play by mcrae on punt

The Zipp · August 11, 2023, 01:21:48 AM

Great catch on the punt return by McRae...will get good position. Lawler TD coming up

TecnoGenius · August 11, 2023, 01:22:44 AM

Meh, Valesi... is he the head ref today? Meh, I wanted Proulx

TecnoGenius · August 11, 2023, 01:24:36 AM

That's a catch.

Robbed by refs again
