Re: Lions cuts

Didn’t see an all-rookie field side of the secondary with Kent and Perryman but it puts the Lions in a better situation from a salary cap perspective especially if Lee returns at some point. Just a little surprising to see a somewhat bold move in a Grey Cup hosting year. Just splitting hairs but it...

Re: Edmonton Elks at BC Lions - May 31, 2024 - Pregame Day Thread

Interesting. As training camp opened a lot of Rider fans were still miffed that O'Day and Mace chose to keep Fine over Dolegala. Now Fine has lost out to two BC castoffs; Shea Patterson and Antonio Pipkin. Speaking of Rider cuts wonder if the Lions have any interest in Carson Graham grad Brayden Le...

Re: Edmonton Elks at BC Lions - May 31, 2024 - Pregame Day Thread

Jake likes to remind us why a 6-foot-7 QB with a good arm is earning back-up paychecks here and not down south. Another horrendous throw.

Zero pressure on that drive against Elks 2nd string o-line.

Re: Concert Kick-Off for June 15 opener to be announced Monday!

All sections are now opened up for sale. Doman sure hit it big time with 50Cent. Doing some digging he apparently charges between $700,000 to $1 million (US) for these performances. Have to think it’s less given the length of this pre-game concert but no way is he doing it for a steep discount. Obv...

Re: Training camp 2024

A nice training camp update article by Moj on the releases of Mizzell and Prokup. Campbell says they will begin the season with VA running the short yardage offence.

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Danny Austin reporting that the Stamps' Malik Henry went down with a potentially serious injury today, attempting a catch and going down hard. Said it doesn't look good. Hope he's okay. Receivers like him are good for the league. DH :cool: Damn. And they held Henry and Jalen Philpot out from Saturd...

With only two days left in training camp, the Lions have announced the signing American defensive lineman Demetrius Taylor, who spent time on the practice roster of the Detroit Lions. https://www.bclions.com/2024/05/28/lions-add-american-defensive-lineman-demetrius-taylor/ Whoa!

Re: Concert Kick-Off for June 15 opener to be announced Monday!

And they go rap/hip hop for the 2nd straight year with 50cent who performed as part of the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show with Dr Dre at SoFi Stadium.

Sure looks like Doman is targeting Millennials and you can’t blame him given it’s a key demographic in the Lions rebuilding effort.

Re: Training camp 2024

Rookie CB Jordan Perryman seems to be the biggest beneficiary of today’s roster cuts. He’s taking first-team reps Monday in place of released rookie Tyon Davis. There are no other changes in the first-team offence and defence. Alex Hollins is back at WR after sitting out last week. Thanks for quick...

Re: Training camp 2024

Heading towards Friday's final pre-season game and the opener in Toronto, interested to know who will be lining up with the first-teamers this week in Jalen Edwards-Cooper's old spot at field corner. Davis got the start on Saturday but there are national options as well. Could Perryman slide over to...

Re: Training camp 2024

JC Abbott does a nice job breaking down yesterday's game and how Campbell takes his "skeleton roster" to another level for the road pre-season game compared to other teams. He reminds us of the 41-10 shellacking BC received to open the pre-season in Calgary 2 years ago. https://3downnation...

Re: Which helmet decal do you prefer for the Lions?

Correct me if I'm wrong but the BC monogram worn yesterday has never been on helmets in the club's history only on sideline gear such as coaches' hats in the 1960s. I know it's on the uniform sleeve but I much prefer the traditional roaring Lion.
