2024 Edmonton Elks

Pretty sure the city of Edmonton owns commonwealth

Part of the problem is having the city involved. Also sounds like no one is happy with the facility any longer. It would be a big deal to sell the stadium but can't see why a nice sized dome on the same property would not go over well. Thompson might be the guy with his construction background and deep pockets to swing the deal. My guess is $250 mill would do it. Quite a bit to look after would be the down side but if your in the game...

Might be worth it for Larry Thompson to buy Commonwealth from whoever owns it.

I’d say it’s more important for us. Cos for the 1st time in a few years we can avoid finishing bottom !

sometimes its good being a "bottom"

Well everyone EXCEPT Calgyra has beaten them so this is a HUGE game for the stumps in that regard.

Jason Masoli taking first team reps in practice for Ottawa according to 3DN. And yet they went big to the tune of $300,000 to Dru Brown who was supposed to be the next great CFL QB after he beat the Elks.

Very similar situation as your team imo. I'll be surprised if Ford throws for 240 yds but maybe he gets a long one in.

Tre starts and Doege gets some reps while MBT does not dress. Common sense really considering the circumstances.

Is it… doesn’t it seem like the perfect time assess doege and see if we wanna bring him back next year? This should be an evaluation period in my eyes

It's only Calgary but one thing they would like is to win a game. I assume the Elks start Tre Ford so we'll see how that goes. They should give Dakota Prukop some reps as well as he is a good bet to be back next year be it as the short yardage guy.

As for free agency I can see some moving on due to uncertainty of who will be in charge and would count MBT among them. He suits the Calgary offense to a T and they may have an opening. He's also a bright guy and could have a future as a coach down the line as well if he chooses to. I can see him hooking up with Dinwiddie on that if he does. I love how he called out the command center on the review and was right. It should have been up Mace to challenge and have a challenge to do so but they have taken that out of the game.

Betting Kyle Walters is ready to move on but not sure of his contract status and it would be interesting to see what he would do on his own. That could lead to Buck Pierce.

I'm with you on this one, I like what BC does with a fullback

short yardage no problem for Blake Marshall. We need to get back to that....

[Looner]

I like Prukop enough in that role, I just question the need for it - albeit it seems to be a trend in the CFL. It’s a high percentage play, or should be. Run the offence with your starter.

I’d like to see them use the spot on a young guy with potential rather than a short yardage specialist.

I'm not sold on Prukop as a short yardage guy or in any other capacity, just haven't seen anything inspiring from him.
