Ahead of this Saturday's BC-MTL game, the Als will be without HC Khari Jones. He is self isolating for 10 days after an asymptomatic positive COVID test. (He is fully vaccinated). No other positive tests on the team. Assistant head coach and running back coach Andre Bolduc will be in charge for the game.

Does Khari Jones normally call the plays? If so, that would have a big impact if he is not there. I guess he will watch on TV and have some input via phone.BC 1988 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 10:03 amhttps://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/ ... ROG_sports

He is the HC, OC and QBC so I would say yes he does.
I don't know that he could contribute much remotely given other than during half-time given that TV is often a few seconds delayed from live and there he would only see whatever views the TSN/RDS feeds show.

And the Argos are bringing in that other Jones boy, who bailed on the Riders, didn't work out in Cleveland and apparently has been coaching high school in Tennessee. DC Glen Young and DB coach Josh Bell are on leave due to vaccinations issues (refusal?) so Chris is back as a Defensive Consultant.

Yikes! And 3 of their next 5 games are vs the Bombers (weird schedule). QB Dakota Prukop against Jefferson, Bighill & co, doesn't look promising. Winnipeg could use these games as steppingstones toward walking away with 1st place in the West. I may actually find myself cheering on the Elks -- strange world!

Oh, I just saw this... not Prukop but Cornelius will be starting QB for Elks. https://3downnation.com/2021/09/16/elks ... or-harris/Gridiron Ernie wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 2:57 pmYikes!

Was really looking forward to this week’s games until learning Harris is being 6-gamed and Tiger Cats going with a 3rd stringer. Of course the Bombers have the Elks on their schedule 3 times in 5 weeks.Gridiron Ernie wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 2:57 pmYikes! And 3 of their next 5 games are vs the Bombers (weird schedule).

Everything falling Winnipeg’s way. Give them credit for taking advantage of a heavy loaded home schedule (4 of 6) but can’t wait to see how the Lions match up with them in a couple of weeks here.
They are 1-1 on the road and were a missed FG away from falling to Calgary at home. But yes will be very tough to catch if they sweep those Edmonton games.
Can the Argos win at Mosiac tonight? Riders are running out of home games with a 14 game schedule. Two left after tonight.
BC at Montreal should be the game of the week with two potentially potent offences. Lions win would give them big momentum heading into their Wild West homestand.

Like many I instantly assumed Prukop would start. Then I took a closer look. Cornelius has been #2 to Harris in Edmonton since training camp. Saturday marks the first game Prukop will get to suit up for this season.Gridiron Ernie wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 3:07 pmOh, I just saw this... not Prukop but Cornelius will be starting QB for Elks. https://3downnation.com/2021/09/16/elks ... or-harris/Gridiron Ernie wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 2:57 pmYikes!

In the first of Friday Night doubleheader, Hamilton defeated Calgary 23-17 to even their season record to 3-3. Calgary's record drops to 2-5. First half was a defensive snooze with only 9 points scored. Bo Levi Mitchell appears to be still suffering the effects of his injury.

Yeah. He doesn't appear to be an asset right now. If it is injury related, he is better off taking the no.2 position while helping out the young guy.
Tell me how long must a fan be strong? Ans. Always.

RedBlacks lose their 5th game in a row 24-7 defeat to the Hamilton Ti-Cats. Both Ottawa quarterbacks were injured in the game. Nate Behar had to fill in for a few plays.

What an amazing conclusion to this afternoon game between Montreal and Hamilton. Trailing 17-13 with a minute to go, Hamilton converted a 3rd down and 20 yards to take a 20-17 lead. Montreal responded with a 55 yard field goal into the wind to tie the game with seconds remaining. In overtime, Hamilton had the ball first and was mounting a drive deep in Montreal territory when they fumbled. Alouettes recovered and kicked a 36 yard field goal for the win.

Elkimoes trade Trevor Harris to Montreal for Antonio Simmons

The only way that Edmonton's actions make any sense is if Harris was a problem in the dressing room. Which would not surprise me at all.TheLionKing wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 3:58 pmElkimoes trade Trevor Harris to Montreal for Antonio Simmons

It also would not surprise me if Elizondo and/or Sunderland are causing problems in the morale of the organization. And these propositions are not mutually exclusive.
