The big thing with a HC, especially a rookie HC like Pierce, would be what contacts does he have for hiring his assistants?

Re: Betts staying in B.C. It is also worth noting that Menard, another Quebecer, left BC to sign with the Als, played one season there and then returned to BC.

Rookie D line coach John Bowman, had imo, a big impact on Betts' play.....to be continued.

Running backs are a dime a dozen. They should be able to sign some good RUNNING backs instead of some wanna be dancers. You mean smurf sized wannabe dancers are a dime a dozen. Good RBs who can block, pick up blitzing LBs and DBs, can run pass routes and catch passes and don't go down on first cont...

Adam holding on the football too long should have been addressed by the quarterback coach (Maksymic) a long time ago but was not. Adams lead the league in the number of times he was sacked. Maksymic is fairly inexperienced as a OC and play caller, so hopefully he soon starts to learn from his mista...

The Leos have drafted undersized defensive linemen in the last two drafts (Francis Bemiy and Nathan Cherry) for reasons I am not entirely certain. It is imperative that we draft Olinemen in the 2024 draft. The cupboard is rather bare with only Tyler Packer on the PR and I am not sure whether he sho...

The Als showed you can beat the Argos who are by far best team in the CFL, with Special Teams and D. Can the Lions do something similar in Winnipeg??

The Bombers and Lions have released their final injury reports, and 5 Bomber receivers are listed as questionable for the West Final, while the Lions have ruled out linebackers Ben Hladik and Jack Hinsperger. The good news is that DB Garry Peters practised fully on Thursday and appears to be good t...

Hardy might be harder to tackle than Mizzell (Mizzell seemed to almost always go down upon first contact) but Hardy didn't run with authority or have any better success carrying the ball. I have *beeotch* all season about the Lions decision to not re-sign James Butler in free agency. Butler, if memo...

Man Bomber fans are so cocky. Just reading some posts from their forum and they seem to think Saturday will be a cake walk for them. Would really like the see the Lions kick the Bombers in the teeth. I don't know about the players, but the fans, after all those banjo bowls don't really have teeth. ...

The Lions should "spy" Bighill by having a blocker on him on almost every play.

I would like to see Lucky Whitehead inserted into the starting lineup and have McInnis as the 6th (backup) receiver. The big body, long arms, that McInnis brings is already provided by Cottoy at a very high level. Lucky's speed could be a bigger factor vs having two big bodied guys out there. And Mi...

Nice to see Adams not holding on to the ball like he often does. Quick reads and accurate passes for the most part were very Rourke like. Combine the aforementioned with Adams using his legs and it was a career performance. Still no running game was not a surprise but screen passes to Mizzell and ch...

BC RUN GAME: Great insights Blitz on the offense, etc. Not to quarrel with Blitz's perspectives other than to suggest how tough it must be for BC's O-line given lack of running play calls which gives the edge to the DEF before the snap of the ball.
