Re: Season opener: Lions vs. Elks June 11, 2022

Certainly the cost of those upper seats is attractive.... Knowing myself, if I sat upstairs where it feels like you can reach out and touch the big screen, I would likely end up watching the game on the screen instead of the field....and that's a first step on the slippery slope to staying home and ...

Re: Lions 2022 free agents

My biggest concern is lack of experience with the QBs and OC/playcaller. However hiring Burris as a QB consultant, even if he is doing mostly zoom calls from his home in Chicago once the season starts, very much addresses my concerns. I share your concern about the QB's. However, I'm not sure I can...

Re: Lions 2022 free agents

I don't get the lack of "love" here for Sayles. From my seat, he was one of the best open field tacklers on the defence. Not many got by him when he was playing safety. He made tackles all over the field, and I thought he had good anticipation to the ball. I guess it is always in the eyes ...

Re: 2021-22 NFL Season thread

I could have got it wrong, but I thought McEvoy said (in the post-free agent video summary with Campbell) that Kupp was on the Leo's Neg list at one time... Don't think he will be coming north anytime soon...

I would have preferred a Bengals win..... they have the same colour scheme as us....

Re: 2022 Free Agents - BC Targets - Top 5

Arbuckle is under contract to Elks, isn't he? And has Harris indicated in the past an interest in a coaching career? Yes at $340K including a $100K bonus the Elks already paid out. I thought his contract ended at the end of last season. Oh well, Wrong again!!! Never Mind....... Farhan is reporting ...

Re: 2022 Free Agents - BC Targets - Top 5

I wonder if with Walker and Lawler signed by the Elks at big dollars, it will cause them to go cheaper on the QB position and if so, that may result in a seasoned vet coming west tomorrow.... I don't see Arbuckle being willing to go the Lions back-up role so he may want to be signed in Elks-ville. W...

Re: 2022 Free Agents - BC Targets - Top 5

Harris missed a number of games late in the year. He seemed to be running hard when he came back into play. Will water injury he had (I don't recall what it was) affect the bidding from Winnipeg or other teams?

Tune in tomorrow....

Re: 2022 Free Agents - BC Targets - Top 5

Assuming that the stories of the Lawler offer of $250K is accurate, I wonder, for the Bombers, if it will come down to a choice between Andrew Harris and Lawler. If the Bombers match the offer for Lawler, I'd guess that Harris will hit free agency and wonder if the Lions are interested in putting a ...

Re: 2021-22 NFL Season thread

It's starting to look like Mahomes is a one trick pony. In his first few seasons (all the way up to the SB win) he effectively used his unpredictability. There were a few regular season games this season where KC was stomped on (along with the SB loss and today's game) where a disciplined D was abl...

Re: Lions 2022 free agents

Very illuminating interview. Makes me very glad Bryan is back. I especially loved Andrew Peirson asking "the tough questions" at the end of it!! Great stuff. JC Abbott has more on Bryan's last year too..... https://3downnation.com/2022/01/28/there-were-days-where-i-didnt-want-to-do-it-lion...

Re: It's Rourke's Offense Now

They have a whole offseason to implement a new offense if needed. With Reilly and Durant off the books, that's over 700k to spend on building the O and D lines. If Chungh comes off the books, that is even more cap savings. Resign Burnham Resign Cottoy Draft Sow to compete at RG Sign a stud DE Find ...

Re: Lemar Durant released

His injury might have been in the back of his mind and maybe he did not want to push himself in case he re-injured, but even more concerning was him being almost uninvolved with his team on the sidelines . I was not aware of this. Lemar seems like a good guy to me and I thought had a really good ra...

Re: Lemar Durant released

They will both be Lions next year I'm not at all sure that Durant will be back even at a reduced cost. I was very disappointed by his level of compete when he returned from injury last season. His injury might have been in the back of his mind and maybe he did not want to push himself in case he re...

Re: Lions 2022 free agents

Of course the “wildcard” in all of this is they have to try and sign Jevon Cottoy too. Was likely on a very cap friendly rookie type deal last season and poised for a big pay raise. /quote] I think that Cottoy has a bunch more upside than Durant. I guess I'm saying that BC should move on from Duran...

Re: Lions 2022 free agents

If it comes down to Durant or Burnham at $170,000, the choice of Burnham is obvious, even with the nationality issue.
