Re: Thriller at Mosiac

I thought the Montreal direct snap to Antwi was a REALLY well designed play. The two outside runners moved back from the LOS, one of the players close to the centre of the LOS moved to join them giving the impression of an onside kick and the Lions defenders focussed on that side of the LOS (I know ...

Re: Thriller at Mosiac

As for the game yesterday, why wasn’t Robertson kicked out for that helmet butting on Collarus? Completely after the play had concluded. Collarus wouldn’t have been expecting any hit at that point let alone the head butt. But it does show how ramped up the rivalry gets. About the only positive abou...

Re: Nathan Rourke Waived by Jacksonville Jaguars

Really great to read some thoughts from Blitz and WCJ, especially on the Rourke issue. I've told others that to me, the few games that Rourke played for us were the most fun I had going to a Lions game since..... well, since Flutie was our QB. Not that I'm comparing Rourke with Flutie... they have r...

Re: Lions vs. Riders July 22, 2023

A win is a win, but that was difficult to watch.

What happened to Rhymes? Did he finish the game? I didn't see him out there, but the TV doesn't always show everyone..... just wondering....

Re: Montreal vs. B.C. July 9, 2023

Was the flag on the pick 6 call bogus? They showed the replay of the pick portion of the play in the stadium but not the earlier parts of the play. There was no DPI by Dequoy IMO. However the call was for Illegal Contact, not DPI. That indicates whatever infraction they think they saw happened befo...

Re: Lions at Argos July 3, 2023

Interesting article on VA's interceptions in 3DownNation today. Corey Mace drew up a lot of mixes in defensive backfield coverages and the DL's got good penetration.

Re: Lions at Argos July 3, 2023

I feel bad for the B.C. defence. The Argos scored 34 points off B.C. Interceptions and 8 points on special teams. I feel bad for me having to watch that mess. Tough to watch so I left the TV broadcast at half time and listen to the radio.... didn't sound any better on the radio.... Oh well, next ga...

Re: Benny back as Special Teams coach

Benny is now back to the place he was in during the earlier part of his coaching career in Calgary and then B.C. coaching special teams. Leo fans will likely have to put up with a lot of Benny poses, Benny rants, and even some Benny 'bumps' but I anticipate an improvement in our special teams play ...

Re: CFL Plus/Preseason Live

One of the longest CFL Pre-season "telecasts" in recent memory. The game was delayed at the start and then at half time while weather moved in and lightning was nearby.... Since they are using the stadium feed and the radio broadcast combination, you had the strange listening experience of...

Re: Joe Kapp Dies at Age 85

Alas. If only Joe could have hit Angelo Mosca harder. Willie Fleming is still alive and lives here in the Cleveland area. At one of the pre-gam STH events when Willie and Joe came to town , I had a chance to thank Joe for his takedown of Mosca in support of Willie. He just shook his head and said t...

However everything else in their QB deployment pointed to Dru Brown being next man up in the event Collaros suffered an injury.
Dru Brown looked pretty good when he played against the Lions late last year. I suspect Prukop accurately read the writing on the wall.

Unless they opt to dump Davis I suspect it is Evans and Davis competing for #2 with Davis staying as the short yardage guy win or lose the #2 battle.
Perhaps you are right, but would that not mean dressing 3 QB's???
