Is this the "Eskimo Way" ???

Re: Is this the "Eskimo Way" ???

I like the way you pretend to know the Eskimo way better than those who lived it and have said they are reinstating it

if you are right and THis is not the Eskimo way - then Everyone from Kavis Reed to Ed Hervey and Paul Jones are liars

heck you can't even blame ET for this - as he only knows the Eskimo way from those ex eskimo's who are around him

So does ET answer to Hervey to ensure he's doing things the Eskimo way?

If so, maybe they should swap titles.

Eric Tillman's ability to take credit for anything positive while setting people up to be thrown under the bus if anything goes poorly is amazing.

If the Eskimo's start doing things the way many in the community and organization believe they should? Well ****, it all came from ET, he did such an amazing job!

If they don't? Well dammit, how was ET supposed to know? I mean, all he could do was employ people with a background from Edmonton; how was he supposed to know!?

Nevermind that every single person in the organization has to answer to him.

Maybe a better way to go about restoring Eskimo tradition would be to employ someone in the GM spot who actually knows what it is and can hold an interview without mentioning what he did in Saskatchewan 5 years ago?

Haven't you learned yet that PDO is all knowing and that anyone that is currently involved in the management of the pro sports teams in Edmonton are all a bunch of idiots. Tambolini and Tillman are stupid to not be running each decision they make by PDO. Those guys have been doing what they are doing longer than I'm sure PDO has been born but what does that mean. PDO sits at home, watches the games on TV and that makes him an expert.

With deference to previous posters, I don't believe you can write down what the Eskimo way is or isn't. It's something that has to be lived and only those that have done so know what it is. Confusing but there it is.

Nobody embodied the Eskimo Way better than one man, may he rest in peace.

You'll never see Jeep's name in the Hall of Fame, on the Wall of Honour or even in any of the record books, but no player before or since gave everything he had everytime he stepped across the stripe.

Harumph!

He's on one wall of honour. I'll post a few shots from the mural inside the new Esks offices.

I really wish they would take the black out of their uniforms and go back to this style. I love the look of the big block numbers with White trim, it looks so sharp.

It is obvious that ET does not care much about changing things around and does so without much caring about any public ridicule. You know, perhaps after the season that the City of Edmonton endured last season -- a season in which the Eskimos stunk it up for most of the season -- perhaps ET is doing it the right way. When a team fails like it did last year there can be no "untouchables" !!!

Is this the Eskimo way?



Kavis Reed went into the first rundown of Edmonton Eskimos training camp with the specific intention of running his players down.

But instead of seeing which ones didn’t get back up, he saw the first real signs of teamwork and camaraderie as teammates cheered each other on, running alongside those who weren’t quite finished their shuttles and coming together for the loudest cheer, so far, in training camp when it was all over.

“(Sunday) morning brought them together and it’s early in training camp. I walked away with the good feeling that trying to run them to death — like I did — and trying to break them, I couldn’t,” Reed said.

“I saw guys running with other guys, refusing to let them quit.

“There are defining moments in seasons, good or bad. This was a defining moment for this team and I truly believe there is a special group we’re going to put together.”

It's all window dressing until the bullets fly for real. Then we will see what the kiddie corps is made of

A rundown. What is this, midget hockey?

Not sure why you would say that? It suggests THE WAY is only about WINNING - I thought the WAY was about how they conduct themselves as a TEAM how they display support for each other and bond to create that ESKIMO FAMILY

now I am of course assuming that no similar display of UNITY was evident under coach Hall or coach DM or else there would be no reason to write the article ie. it would not be viewed as story material if it was same old same old at Esk camp.

as an observer this would suggest that THE WAY was being beat into them - and regardless of talent this was a very public display that the team is getting the message and living it

Re: Is this the "Eskimo Way" ???

I think what Diesel's saying is that these sorts of stories are bound to come up at this time of year. The media are going to write positive pieces now, as they do every year at this time, and they're going to use the inevitably positive quotes from coaching staff to get a good story out there. It very likely may be same old same old. And if it isn't, it means nothing until the bullets start flying for real. Then we'll see what their character really is. Pretty easy to be positive in TC, not so easy after that.

None of this means anything yet.

That's what I'm talking about!

Hearin' that stuff get me fired up about this team and the culture that KR and Staff are creating.

Fred Stamps even went as far as too say that there is a championship atmosphere around here this year.

People can continue to put a negative SPIN on everything that is done and said by the EEFC all they want, but IMO this is going to be a good year.
