Weird… I wonder what happened there because they seemed high on him last year when they brought him in....

[ben_the_eskimo]

I hope he ends up back on the PR, hate to let a good prospect walk like that....

[ben_the_eskimo]

I thought he looked really good in the preseason games so I’m surprised to see him go.

Too bad about Newell as well, I was excited to see him this season....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Disappointed about Z, I wanted him on the PR, seemed like a perfect 4th string project QB. It’s also too bad Victor didn’t work out because he has great size.

Not too many surprises other than that I’d say....

[ben_the_eskimo]

I was at the game last night, the atmosphere at Clarke was fantastic, would have been even better if not for the poor weather scaring some people away. If I were the Elks I might consider doing the preseason game there more often because it was definitely...

Sounds like there’s potential for a new stadium project outside of Halifax, sounds like a team COULD hit the field as early as next year if this goes through. It would be amazing if we could FINALLY get that tenth team.

Yeah for sure. Ford just had such a unique brand of athleticism that made it enticing to envision a future where he rounded out his game and became a franchise QB. But it is what it is, it wasn’t in the cards and that’s fine. I like the direction...

[ben_the_eskimo]

I am really happy with the way our QB room is looking right now. As much as I was hoping for Ford to put it all together last season, we have much more stability now across our four QBs and that is exciting moving forward....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Agreed here as well, I think preseason wins are good for the psyche of this team right now given the history of the past few seasons....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Awesome, thankyou!...

[ben_the_eskimo]

Only one sack for the DL but I think they had 5 knockdowns which is impressive. Would have liked to have seen the game to see if they were getting pressure because that was our biggest problem at the beginning of last year is that we weren’t getting...

[ben_the_eskimo]

I listened to the game on ched and it sounded like all of our QBs were solid but Powell really stood out from what I could tell.

It’s nice that all of our QBs seem to have a similar style now, and it’s a style that jives with our OC....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Kilams been talking all week about wanting to give the vets some time in both games to gain chemistry and get the rust off at game speed as part of his strategy to start fast this season....

[ben_the_eskimo]

I like that Kilam is firey, I might be biased tho as I have two coworkers who are former teammates of his from their UofA days and both guys have nothing but great things to say about Mark as a person and a football guy....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Yeah I don’t really see Campbell as being here to look over Kilams shoulder or anything like that, I just think he was an available guy who has a ton of football experience and deep ties to this organization, bringing him in can only help IMO....

[ben_the_eskimo]

I haven’t been down to camp yet but the way that Korte and Beard keep getting mentioned as being in a battle with one another I can’t help but feel Korte might be one of the surprise vet cuts this camp… Not wishing for it but I feel...

[ben_the_eskimo]

Attracting expansion is the only way this makes sense to me really…

I already have a hard enough time defending a league where only 3 teams miss the playoffs, now it’s only 1. Not to mention we now have “playoff”...
