After clear skies and 30-degree-plus temperatures greeted players on the opening weekend of camp, the weather has been unseasonably cool and damp by Kamloops standards, but it rained only briefly during one practice before the sun reappeared. I attended Lions' camps at UBC, Langley, Chilliwack and ...

Whoever was the one to suggest Kamloops as host to Lions training camp had a great idea. Good for the team and good for the community. Win / win and nice to see people having fun. Nice the weather has been good this year for those in attendance. The setup in Kamloops is absolutely purrfect for hold...

The main challenge is keeping my eyes on the field while practice regulars are chatting to me.

Lol. Guilty!

Interesting on the numbers. Surprised a bit that the holdovers didn't get their same numbers for TC unless prior arrangements were made to accommodate a super star. Funny how since the CFL numbers have changed that that the 70s for REC's aren't as coveted as the 80s. Wasn’t 70 numbers for tight end...

B.C. secondary will be one of the best in the league. Peters, Sayles, Evans will literally be hard to beat with good options for the other two spots. They won't need to go National but maybe can if Bagayogo can win the corner job. Kent sounds like a solid player that will stick as well. For the O, ...

Has Meyer been doing any of the kick-offs? I always thought the Alouettes/Argos had an advantage when Boris Bede would blast kick-offs down to the goal line or 5 yard line. Most returners aren't making it to the 35 if your cover team is worth its salt. As a sidenote, one battle I want to learn more...

I don't know if adding Arbuckle is a good or bad move by Toronto but it was a necessary move that shouldn't hurt. With next to no CFL experience in the QB room until/if Kelly returns adding a veteran presence into the mix was essential. Unfortunately those options were pretty much restricted to Arbu...

Kickers and punters also alternated throughout the scrimmage. Sean Whyte was accurate as usual on placekicks, while Global rookie Carl Meyer missed several attempts but showed everyone his strong leg on two 47-yard attempts at the end of the scrimmage, with fellow players crowded around heckling hi...

Since before free agency DC you seem fixated on unnecessarily adding some other veteran receiver. There is no lack of talent in camp. They came out of last season knowing they already had good players ready to step up. They'd already identified McInnis and Eberhardt as being ready for full time star...

Some scrimmage highlights posted by the Lions social media team:

That top left clip is a fantastic view of Eberhardt's spectacular TD catch.

And to follow up the downtown FanFest street party is a huge success. It's a good set up with the usual kids stuff like bouncy castles, face painting as well as promotional booths for the Lions, Grey Cup and other Kamloops sponsors. Lots of food and beverage along with live music. It was comfortably...

It will be interesting to see if someone of note gets cut from other teams and tempt the Lions to bring another receiver in. Sounds to me as Fulgham and Eberhardt are leading candidates to fill the openings left vacant by Rhymes and Whitehead. No depth to speak of behind either. Same goes for Cotto...

They must really like Terrell to sign him with camp already underway. Wonder if they will move on completely from Mizzell? I wondered the same thing, Sammy. I think the Terrell signing is more to do with the realization that Stanback is 29 with a lot of miles (remember the serious ankle injury in 2...

They must really like Terrell to sign him with camp already underway. Wonder if they will move on completely from Mizzell? Suprised to read Cottoy seeing few balls thrown his way on a daily basis. Wonder why VA's and others reads are ignoring him so much?They are certainly paying him to have an eve...
