Dustin Nielson

Is that an opinion here again?

Yeah, but I also think, like, I, [laughs] as Dusty was calling that game last week, I was actually watching it with my son and, and there were points where I, it, specifically, Dustin, in the phase late in the game where it was, like, procedure, procedure, intentional ground, whatever that was-

Oh, yeah

... like, where there was three or four pen- against Winnipeg in a row, I screamed at the television, "Winnipeg, just, just do the simple stuff."

Yeah

...

in man coverage and the receiver had no chance to go get the first down, I immediately just turn, sorry, Dustin, I turned the TV off.

[laughs]

And, you know, then you, you get, uh...

I, I don't, I don't know if we got a lot of, "I'm done with the Oilers," but we, we got a, a fair bit of, as I think you guys did, and, and we, you started even getting it on the O- Oiler Stream, Dustin.

You know, a lot, a lot of, like, why is it the Oilers? What, what-

Yeah

[laughs]

Yeah, Dustin.

I, uh, I, I deserve that.

Nice.

But, uh, it, it's, it's a big move.

I mean, both of you have facial hair.

Uh, Dustin, are you still-

So are you gonna be, are you gonna be like, are you shaving every two days now? Or what's the deal?

You have a song for you, too.

I think I told him I said, keep texting Dustin.

Even I'm like, we got to limit the Atif songs.

OK, so we're going to skip over that

You, you have to crawl everywhere.

[laughs] "Hey, here comes Dustin.

He's crawling into the bar." "Why?" "He's afraid of heights."

Jonathan, what won last year for live performance of the year?

I don't remember much of last year's ESTs, Dustin.

Yeah.

Nobody usually does.

Yeah.

I often say you can't really remake a football team in the middle of the season, whether you're trying to, you know, make changes on your coaching staff or, or bringing in players.

It's, it's just not, it's not the kind of sport that lends itself to that, right? [laughs] Time on task is what wins often in football, and that's just time together, execution, reps.

So bringing people in that, that haven't had reps and haven't had time with players, I mean, you know, Jeff Rhymel's the defensive coordinator.

Elks back on the field Friday night right here in Edmonton when they welcome in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Kickoff, 7:30.
