Re: Lions' receivers
IMO - a really nice receiving corps has a good blend of speed, size, good route runners, very good hands = diversity - so not 4 or 5 burner smurfs with questionable hands, and not 4 or 5 slower possession types. Should be a very competitive TC to see who steps up to replace Whitehead as maybe the f...

Re: Training camp 2024
Revamped FanFest format for Kamloops. In the past everything happened up at Hillside Stadium. This year Play With the Pros clinic will go in the morning 9:00 - 11:00 followed by the scrimmage in mid-afternoon 1:00 - 3:15. Then things will adjourn for a street festival in downtown Kamloops starting ...

Re: Lions' receivers
Adding Patmon makes 20 wr on the roster headed for camp give or take a few that may yet be added or sent packing. The anticipation of which one steps into the starting role is already quite intriguing. To think there might be two new faces with little to no tape for teams to study could lend itself...

Re: Lions' receivers
It's pretty funny all the outrage this story has generated one of the Lions fans Facebook groups given this is somewhat old news since Whitehead has been a FA since early February and is free to sign with any team. Dunk probably should have clarified the Lions top 4 receivers were all free agents a...

Re: Lions' receivers
Unfortunate for Lucky given how charismatic and popular amongst the fans, and I think team mates, as he is. He just happens to be at that ugly career crossroads so many find themselves at, especially in a league operating under such a tight salary cap. Age, salary, declining production can put a pla...

Re: Training Camp Prospects
Most these type of signings are just for rookie camp so they can run scrimmages etc. just going to Kamloops for 3 days. If makes it through rookie camp, join 3rd group for reps through camp. They prefer to start main camp with 15 OL to fill out the 3 units. Right now the Lions are at 13. No doubt t...

Re: Question re: Winnipeg Stadium
Then again if I was working with Hambone's budget I might consider the club seats. IMO Bombers are not immune to declining attendance issues any more than other teams. They give away large blocks of tickets on a regular basis to pump up the numbers. Seldom are the upper corners full on games shown ...

Re: Question re: Winnipeg Stadium
I've only been there for the 2015 Grey Cup. I had a great seat 1st row upper deck close to the midfield stripe. Excellent sight line and only a couple rows from the concourse. As DC said park n rides would be the way to go especially if you plan on having a few wobbles at the game. There is informat...

Re: Training camp 2024
I see after the long weekend they have 3 evening practices. Avoiding conflicts with the track meet I presume?

Re: Lions' receivers
Searching the exclusive negotiation window states that once a player declares he wants to play in the CFL the rights holder has 10 days to offer him an ELC where upon they retain his rights for another calender year. It's a ridiculous rule 100% in favor of the team. Do you have a current copy of CF...

Re: Lions' receivers
One thing that Claypool has going for him is youth relatively speaking. He's 25. Could be he suffered from a nasty combination of immaturity and outright cockiness. The way things have unfolded over the last two seasons should have provided him with a big slice of humble pie. Whether he's opted to t...

Re: Lions' receivers
Jamie Nye has an article over the weekend where he picks 5 young receivers who he thinks can pop their 1000 yard season cherry in 2024. One of the 5 he chose is BC's Ayden Eberhardt.
