Alexander has a pulled hammy

Omgggg McLeod!

Hope Tyrell likes losing with his Brother week in week out.

I hope both have great success in this league. A couple of key marketing pieces for a club on the rebuild.

Tre is only marketable if he can play football. There isn't a single Elks fan who cares if he's Canadian if he passes for 49 yards a half and the Elks go 5-13.

Conversely, ask Als fans if they're happy to have Alexander of they would prefer the team go find a Canadian QB.

Nobody cares about any of that. Winning players are marketable. Losing players aren't. People pay to see teams win Grey Cups. They stay away when they can't.

Als are blitzing repeatedly and the elks don't seem to know they can keep a running back in to help with it. Or an extra onlineman.

Ford not great but he has zero time.

Morgan looks hurt bad

ford reminds me of vernon adams early uears, it took a while for him to become a decent qb

Canadians like to see Canadian players succeed in this league.  Understating how important that is.  You state things that you believe are true based on your opinion.  Doesn't mean it's the opinion of the country.  Twin bros of their talent level is a huge marketing factor.  You view on Canadian talent is well documented and I don't agree with your take.

Yes success sells tickets.  So does talent, hope and a unique Canadian story.

Your idea about MTL fans and a Canadian QB there has zero relevance to my original post. 

I am excited how much we continue to develop Canadian talent in this league.  Builds community and provides a great deal of pride and hope for next gen.

When you blitz Trevor Harris he makes a 5 yard throw. The answer is not extra offensive lineman or different running back protection.

How many times you going to edit that post?

Could be both?

We use a back don't we? For blocking against pass rush. Pretty sure I counted 7 blockers on some plays last game.

TD Als

Ford and Elks stink to all high hell. 1201 fans must be impressed?

Agree he is over simpling the argument
You are correct

For sure. But if we put Tre Ford behind our blocking scheme it's not going to look any different. Ball needs to come out before rushers get there. It's a blitz. You usually can't block them all. That's the whole point.
