Re: Leos/Riders Round 2 - Game Day Thread

JJ10 has completed 6 passes - three of them to Gainey of Roughriders.

Re: Leos/Riders Round 2 - Game Day Thread

JJ10 tosses 3rd interception of the half - he is not ready. Is TL14 ready? I think it is time.

Re: Leos/Riders Round 2 - Game Day Thread

Glenn is getting the ball off around 2 seconds - maybe 2.5. Jennings is still hanging on 4 to 5 seconds after the snap. The Rider defensive backs are not that good. Our O line is doing the job - the QB is not. On defence? Would be nice if one showed up. Glenn is getting the ball off much faster - we...

Re: Lions cuts

I am sure Harris will be picked up by another team somewhat quickly - the guy is a stud but found himself behind Rainey and Johnson. I wish him luck - except when he plays against the Lions.

Re: Lions 45 - Bombers 42, Post-Game Stats and Comments.

I forgot to mention in my last post - Hunter Stewart for major of the line of scrimmage. Hands down the best left tackle in the game right now. His blocking on the Lulay touchdown was a thing of beauty and power. Total domination.

Now if we could only get the right side working as well....

Re: Lions 45 - Bombers 42, Post-Game Stats and Comments.

A few observations: Maxx Forde has got to start. He not only got 2 tackles and a sack but when he was in the game he made the other linemen better. He is a starter and possible all-star. I would also like to see more of Menard and how about some Josh Shirley - he needs to get more chances. Micah Awe...

Re: Lions 41 - Ti-Cats 26, Post Game Stats and Comments

Was there a mistake in placing the ball after a Ticat put? We advanced the ball to our 14 yard line and Hamilton was called for having an interior lineman leaving the line of scrimmage before the ball was kicked. The referee announced that it was a ten yard penalty against Hamilton and that it woul...

Re: Lions 41 - Ti-Cats 26, Post Game Stats and Comments

What is with the scheduling? Lions open with a home game and then disappear from home for a month? Perhaps this will help attendance getting more home games after the end of a sunny summer but the team kind of falls off the radar playing three games in a row three time zones from home. Keeping Lulay...

Re: Lions cuts

I watched Vaillancourt's first two games last year and was really impressed - looked like a seasoned pro and I thought that the right guard position was his for life. Then in game three Fabien is starting and it was hard to get info on why the change - I believe Vaillancourt was injured. I still bel...

Re: Chris Williams now a Leo

I think the happiest man in town today is Jon Jennings. He has Burnham who can catch anything in his area code - Manny, who when he is on is the best in the CFL and now the speed of Williams!! Let me throw that ball says Jennings. With Williams taking some heat off Rainey hopefully we will get to se...

Poor Pre-game Press Coverage

I am gob smacked at the poor pre-game press coverage in the Vancouver Sun. This is not a criticism of Mike Beamish and other football reporters - rather it is a criticism of the Vancouver Sun Sports Page Editors. Last week when the Redblacks were here in Vancouver, I bought the Sun to pick up on som...
