Elks @ Bombers

[The Zipp]

News gets worse for #Elks starting centre David Beard. He has been placed on the 6-game injured list with a calf injury suffered in the loss to the Alouettes last Thursday at home.  Mark Korte will move from guard to centre. OL Jaxon Morkin has been activated off the PR. #CFL

I think everyone expects a win given its at home, but playing on the road, the Elks will be loosey goosey, not trying to put on a good show for their fans, so you never know and never take anything for granted.

I have a feeling weather could be a factor, NA weather forecasts look to be somewhat turbulent through to the end of the week.

I believe the Bombers are a better team and should win BUT QB Ford worries me because we have had trouble with mobile QBs. The scramble plays are a problem for all D's as someone already stated you can only cover for so long.
Also uncharacteristically in our 2 games we have taken way too many penalties which can come back and bite you in the butt.
I too would like to see Jones and Bailey play not because I'm unhappy with who they would replace but to see how they do in a real game situation.

I think we beat up on EDM, but running QB's have given us trouble for years so I see Ford getting a bunch of yards.

Kramdi and Griffin will be utilized to neutralize that.  I can see at least one spy, if not 2... Ford is a threat, but I think we have enough DB's that can make a difference, and if Vuaghters and Willie can contain, Ford will have a looooong day.

I would also love to get Jones into the game. Not great options to get him on the AR unfortunately!
Ayers, Griffin, Vaval... Ayers is the best option but it would leave us with only 2 DE's

Except Ayers is not a DE either. He's listed there on the depth chart for some odd reason.

cause all the space in the linebackers section of the charts is full...depth charts sometimes are just "suggestions"...

He did line up at DE in relief of Willie and Vaughters.

Also, how are we feeling about Vaughters?

That doesn't make him a DE.

He has given us more pressure off the edge than anyone else since Jeffcoat.

So far he's meeting team expectations I would think, not spectacular results but in Younger's D the assignments aren't always crystal clear, far different than when the 2 Jeff's mission was to chase the QB on every play.

Pretty happy - harder to tell given we have only played one team.  I think there are going to be games where he absolutely eats up the o-line and has multiple sacks.

One team, that started 4 IMP Oline game one and 3 game 2... with scrambly QB's.

I think he's doing fine and is a good fit.
