GDT - Week 19 - Alouettes @ Elks - Last Home Game

[Ti-Catfan89]

I think they showed enough late in the year to allow Jones to come back. I’d like to think guys are still playing for jobs next year, but the gas runs out a bit when you’re eliminated from playoff contention.

I still think the DBs are a bit inexperienced, the linebacking corps could use some playmakers, and another legit rush end would complement Ceresna and Leonard.

Offensively, I thought the line was adequate but feel they could upgrade talent there. Korte seems a lock and Boyko stepped in to play well but I’d definitely be OK with some churn at guard.

I’m not sold on Sims returning and while Faithfull seems like a decent kicker with a good story, I’m not sure there aren’t better options.

Is it next year the Elks have some relief on the football ops cap? Extra coaches and maybe some more scouting support may do wonders for Jones and the team’s progression. If the rumours about Craig Dickenson coming back to coach STs after a Saskatchewan parting prove true, that may be a valuable add.

Grahovic looked good at guard his one start.

Are there actually rumors to this effect. I always assumed it would happen if Jones was still here when CDick's time ran out in the rectangle, but that's moreso me guessing to that based on Jones' loyalty to past staff members.

CDick has shown to be a pretty terrible head coach, but I still think he's a pretty good position coach.

Agreed. I liked what he brought and wouldn't mind seeing a longer look for him next year.

I've heard that talk from a few people on discussion forums around the league who seem to have a good pulse on things that eventually happen, but seems more speculative at this point. Saskatchewan (likely) making changes coinciding with us having more flexibility under the cap makes it a possibility in my eyes.
