Elks lose again

Prediction time.
Should the Argos beat the Elks next week, I predict Chris Jones gets the ax going into their bye week. Gerry Simon takes over as GM and Jarius Jackson as HC. That is their way around the management cap.
Also, Tre Ford gets inserted back into the starting role.
As many know, I am a fan of MBT. But I also said that it was a dumb signing for the Elks. Ford needs to play. MBT isn’t a QB that can carry a bad team. He’s a QB that can lead a good team. Ford can make a bad team better because of his off script plays. It also will help mend fences between the team and Ford, and possibly lead to an extension before he becomes a free agent.

So what would become of MBT? Outright release?

Probably not. He’s making good money, but not crazy money.

Not after 3 games.

MBT was indeed surrounded with some good talent and a very astute OC in Ryan Dinwiddie which certainly helped his cause with the Argonauts, in Edmonton he has Jarious Jackson as his OC, enough said.

I think the bigger problem is Chris Jones than Jarius Jackson. He’s had 3 years to address the o- line but instead pays 300k for a great receiver that apparently his new QB doesn’t like to throw to.

And why is Loucheiz Purifoy returning missed field goals?

im not sure about mbt hitting the bench this early, buti could definitely see chris jones being shown the door. he would be 8-31 as the elks coach if they lose next week

If he’s shown the door, I would bet Ford gets inserted as the starter. That is the only way he won’t walk at season’s end. You start him, hope he does well and extend him. I can’t see any other scenario in which he stays.

I don't know how long the Elks can keep Jones around. From the questionable deciosion (IMO) to bring in MBT and anoint him the starter and sit Ford, to another 0-5 start.
Bede is taking a lot of blame for that kickoff that went out of bounds, but to me, in a tie game if you have a kicker that can reach the endzone, where any thing can happen, and he already had a kickoff single tonight, you ask him to kick the crap out of the ball, not kick a knuckler. Bounces on a knuckler are unpredictable. That was a BAD coaching decision.
