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 ...

Re: Lions vs. Elks July 29, 2023
Never had a problem with Wally Buono as a manager of men. Creating a winning environment and culture. Always good at suspecting a player's "best before" date and staying one step ahead. Very few mistakes there. In-game managing was always a different issue. Lots of conservative blunders. R...

Re: Lions vs. Elks July 29, 2023
If I were the Elks, I would have turfed McAdoo and Jarious and hired Paul LaPolice as OC and QB coach.
I don't think much of Lapo as a head coach, but he is a very skilled OC.

Re: Lions vs. Elks July 29, 2023
I wouldn’t draw that conclusion. I would expect them to use Mizzell quite liberally this afternoon. They have a capable back-up in Mackie. What I would like to see is Terry Williams used more in certain receiving packages. He was one of our most effective pass catchers in training camp/preseason. DH...
