Any idea why Claypool is a locker room cancer? What is he saying/doing? Doesn't like the way he has been deployed? Or is this an off-field thing?
I mean, keeping a guy away from the team (an unsuccessful one at that) while they sought a trade partner is a pretty serious thing.

Re: Bombers-Lions: The Showdown
Concern that the club didn’t adequately self-scout during the bye week. Same issues re-surfaced although we have improved on penalties, and our return game is better. But… Why is Davis continually getting stuffed on 3rd down? Why is Davis still even featured on 3rd and short? He used to occasionally...

Re: Bombers-Lions: The Showdown
I am concerned that the way we lost this game could have a detrimental effect on the club down the stretch. To have the win (in the biggest game of the season) in the palm of their hands only be snatched away by poor clock awareness to lose in OT may be something they never recover from. Quite debil...

Re: Riders @ BC Sept 29, 2023
Mizell reminds me of Jim Harrison. Runs to the line of scrimmage and gets tackled for little yardage. For those youngsters out there, Harrison was one of the worst running back to don Lions colours in my opinion. He lasted one season. His longest carry was 10 yards. Jim Harrison was more of a fullb...

Re: Riders @ BC Sept 29, 2023
Haven't heard much about ticket sales. They opened the upper bowl for the first Riders visit back in July, almost prematurely, but I thought the Orange Shirt Day promotion might help the return visit. The Riders' play of late definitely hasn't. Then there's next week which is easy to say will be th...

B.C. at Edmonton drew the most number of viewers for TSN of all of the games in Week 16 (531,300 viewers). The next best was Hamilton at Toronto (453,700 viewers).

Re: Riders @ BC Sept 29, 2023
I would be inclined to put Phillip Norman in Sukh Chungh's spot at RG and start Adrian Greene at safety in place of Quincy Mauger to maintain the ratio. Greene has earned that start with some outstanding special teams work. Norman is likely a better option against a Rider front that manhandled us wi...

Re: Ottawa @ BC Sept 16, 2023
I wonder what our self-scouting revealed during the bye week? In my opinion, here are some of our needs: * To be more disciplined. Lots of silly penalties (offside, holding - especially on kick/punt returns, giving us BAD field position). Going into our last game, we led the league. Campbell needs t...

Re: BC Lions Player Awards at the 1/2 way point
RE: Sean, I just meant that balls routinely sail right through the uprights with little fanfare for him. Not that we don't see his obvious talents, but he doesn't get talked about as much on this club. I thank God he found his way back to B.C. :roar: As for his eventual replacement, K/P Keiran Burnh...

Re: BC Lions Player Awards at the 1/2 way point
Great point about Cottoy, Clash Dance. I am not sure about "unsung" (JJ Adams just did a big piece on him in today's Province), but I do believe he's under-utilized. Size, strength and great hands. Want to see more of him in the offense!

BC Lions Player Awards at the 1/2 way point
With 9 games in the books, here are my Player Nominees (offensive lineman and special teams would be unanimous selections, hence there are no 'runners-up'). MOP : Mathieu Betts - has cooled lately but has been given more attention by D coordinators. Still on a deadly sack pace (20). A true disruptor...

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Aug. 12, 2023
Maybe, it's because of the dominant performance, but I tell you, love the weekend 4PM start times. I live well out in the Valley. Drive in and home had very little traffic, and was home early enough to watch a movie with the wife. Noticed something going on at Roger's Arena as we left and thinking ...

Re: Lions at Bombers Aug. 3, 2023
Oh yea, does Campbell realize that he CAN throw a challenge flag? There are no bonus points for keeping it in your pocket at the end of the game. Good grief. Our players literally have to be mugged before he will consider it. Was it not foolish to run out the clock after Williams' long return in the...

Re: Lions at Bombers Aug. 3, 2023
Problem areas as I see them: * Weak protection. Oline really hasn't been the same since the last Winnipeg game and we're not finding enough chunk plays/deep balls. Peirson way under-sized and we're not opening enough running lanes for our backs. We may have to go with 3 Imports and put Greene in at ...
