Troy Aikman commenting on Miami's offence and makes a valid or not comparison to CFL style offences: "A lot of credit goes to their personnel department and the way they've been able to bring in some speed. The way they motion and use those guys and get them running, in some ways it looks like...

Like you I would love to see wayyyyy more diversity on CFL offences, - all the things you suggest; but not going to happen ... when they keep hiring / recycling from the same old clique of same old, limited, myopic offensive coaches; a bit of a bight on the CFL, IMO. OV:54-40 We are more than on th...

You're only as good on offense as your offensive line and QB but nothing is harder for the O-line than predictable run calls and pass blocking all game. But nothing fires them up as much as steamrolling D-linemen with a run game. A run game with the likes of a Cottoy not just the speedster types li...

What I liked most about this game is that it provided some insights into what our Leos could do in the future to become a better football team. Offensively, we have a Top 3 CFL quarterback in Vernon Adams. He, along with Zach Collaros and Chad Kelly, give their teams a good chance to beat any other ...

Given the level of intensity the Riders/Bombers bring to the field when they play each other, it would be huge to finish first allowing those two teams to do battle before coming to BC Place. As for the game yesterday, why wasn’t Robertson kicked out for that helmet butting on Collarus? Completely ...

It’s no surprise to see Rourke take a practice roster contract with Jacksonville, for now. He got US$200K guaranteed, so even if he returned to BC and the Lions renegotiated his contract to give him a bump for the remainder of 2023 he’s probably not giving up much in the way of salary. However, I t...

A lot like Flutie? Absolutely. Of course the NFL did not like Flutie. Too small, etc. Eventually he g...

And Kelly DOES get it, having re-upped today with the Argos for three years. Coast Mountain Lion He got some very impressive money too. I wonder what Rourke is thinking right now as he sees how much money Kelly signed for. Nathan was a starting QB in Div I US college ball ; the NFL has an extensive...

Thanks, Blitz. Great to read your posts again. Bud Grant. Joe Kapp. With their passing away, I had to comment on those legends of the football world, who had such a strong presence in my love of the game of football. And Nathan Rourke was a comet for the Lions and the CFL. We watched him play, and ...

"Nathan Rourke was a blast of fresh air and football excitement last year with the Lions" West Coast Joe. Hey WCJ...reading your post above makes football life feel life feel like a #*#+@ reunion! :beauty: :wink: WCJ, I couldn't agree more with your comment above...it truly was special to...

It looks like Rourke is signing to be on the Jaguars practice roster. Rourke could have signed to be on the practice roster of any NFL team who wanted him for that role. Rourke thought he had a chance to challenge for the backup quarterback position in Jacksonville. But that was not the case. Beatha...

by SammyGreene » Sun Aug 13, 2023 8:13 pm Some more good stuff from 3 Down Nation's JC Abbott on yesterday's win. He and Farhan keep turning up the heat on Lucky Whitehead especially after his cryptic farewell tweet last week. A popular figure and fun guy but the club might want to drift away from ...

Karma can be a *beeotch* Rammer and its certainly laying down some evil times on the old Evil Empire. Maybe instead of the Elks as their new name they should have called themselves the Whelks, because they look like snails out there these days. :beauty: Wish Vic Rapp was alive to enjoy their demise!...

Its been nice and cozy in the cave!! :wink: I think I needed the sabbatical after watching our Leos down 25-0 on Wally Buono Night and then suffering through the 48-8 embarrassment of a playoff game against Hamilton to end that 8-10 season. The good news about the cave was that there was a televisio...

:beer: :wink: No kidding Dano. The 'Great Mentor' inspires!! :bang: What a gong show in Edmonton. Its still shocking to me, after all those years of the Evil Empire and how good they were. One can predict a time when a team that was championship calibre would need to rebuild but who could have ever ...
