Re: This how serious the Lions are about building back their attendance
Steve Ewen of The Province has shone a well-deserved light on the Lions' social media team, which added videographer Nik Kowalski this year to a media team that has been among the league's best for several years. I followed Kowalski for his detailed breakdowns of football stats when he was just get...

Re: Kick coverage/kick return
Steve Ewen of The Province delves into the team's special teams struggles, with quotes from Rick Campbell, who says the Lions are considering activating practice roster wide receiver Shane Wynn as a returner. B.C. Lions not ticked off over kickoffs, ‘keep working’ on faltering special teams Was jus...

Re: Elks vs. Lions Aug. 6, 2022
South Pender. Of course your comments regards a solid ground game for late-season colder weather games make good sense. And there's always room for improvement, for sure. However looking at James Butler's 2022 stats, I come away reasonably impressed so far. He's in the league top 5 among rushing yar...

Re: Lions vs. Argos June 25, 2022
I see Nathan Rourke's passing efficiency rating for tonight's game was 144.31. The so-called "purrfect" and best possible passing efficiency rating in football is apparently 158.3. Quite something! Pretty uncommon to see numbers that much higher than 100. And I imagine the rating for last ...

Re: Training camp 2022
Much appreciated camp reportage -- B.C.FAN and Hambone! Excitement is building day by day. I've no idea how the Lions will do this year so far as the standings, but there's no reason I see that they can't be wonderfully entertaining all along the way. I just read an interesting article--Dante Marsh ...

Re: Training camp 2022
And in Metchies case I wonder how his knee is after a season ending injury. We may never see Metchie in the CFL. It's a long shot given his pedigree/level of talent. Zerr, on the other hand, I believe is at the NY Giants mini-camp, a point Neil McEvoy referenced when he drafted him (Neil called him...

Re: De Anthony signing
Interestingly, for what it's worth, De'Anthony Thomas is the lone player out of the entire lot without a jersey number listed. Side note re the lists; I noticed OL Noah Zerr's name was nowhere to be found. He'll be in NYC for a bit yet, I assume, as apparently the Giants' rookie mini-camp starts thi...

Re: 2022 rule changes
Thanks for drawing attention to some of the important changes/details in this, B.C.FAN. At first blush, after reading the full document, I'd say the narrowed hashmarks is the biggest change. I look forward to seeing the ripple effect of this throughout the upcoming season. The wide-side receivers th...

Re: Lions 2022 free agents
This was a huge gut punch to wake up to this morning. We need as much push up front to make up for a league-low 23 sacks last season and Stove was going to provide that for us. I wonder what happens now. Any unsigned CFL FA defensive tackles of note? Will they scour FA camps in the USA? Trade perha...

Re: Lions 2022 free agents
Agreed, we have more pressing depth needs in those positions you list (OL, DL) Hambone, plus I misread the line about Machart's interviews in Hodge's article (mistakenly thinking the Lions had interviewed him). But all the same, the mention (right or wrong) of the Lions going National at RB caught m...

Re: Lions 2022 free agents
Excuse this question/comment being a little off-topic for this thread (i.e. not Free Agents) although the thread has previously already wandered into upcoming CFL draft territory; Was just reading a couple articles (JC Abbott and John Hodge) over on 3DownNation concerning the just-completed Combine....
