3DownN update: a pic the Lions posted of Roarke now throwing the ball in practice, and wearing that snazzy 1954 cap! Good to see. But please, please, please be careful, and don't rush things! https://3downnation.com/2022/10/11/b-c-lions-quarterback-nathan-rourke-throws-at-practice-seven-weeks-follow...

As has been often cited throughout this current season by many of us, the Lions mediocre Special Teams first comes to mind for me. I wonder (have my doubts) if a coaching change on Teams would help all that much, though such an adjustment might seem necessary after the dust settles. As I understand ...

We all see VA's continuing skittishness in the pocket plus his typically late and off-target passes, we've seen the less than stellar play of Sayles (regularly) and Lee (of late), and this game we noted the large number of penalties, and of course there's the ongoing less than exciting return game o...

I expect the Lions to move Keon Hatcher into Burnham’s spot, where he excelled during Burnham’s 4-game stint on the injured list earlier this year. They could play Jacob Scarfone at Hatcher’s WR spot, which would allow them to start Woody Baron on the DL. The Lions were severely undermanned on the ...

The Lions have placed Bryan B. on the 6-game injured list. Stating they're hopeful he may make it back before season's end. I'm feeling pretty blue about this. He's special. Indeed, as B.C.FAN said, he's had a tough campaign. One wonders who will get the call to replace him, as we have a few of the ...

I'm curious how you fellows that saw Thomson in action at TC feel about him being released? I got the feeling the Lions were fairly high on him. I guess his potential was outweighed by the experience that Pipkin brings as potential backup (for the time being at least) to Adams.

Dave Naylor reporting that Ambrosie has issued a memo against any team signing Marino. Thumbs up. https://3downnation.com/2022/09/07/cfl- ... no-report/

Riders release Marino. Good move. https://3downnation.com/2022/09/06/saskatchewan-roughriders-release-defensive-lineman-garrett-marino/ Yes, the risk for injury in this sport is high enough as is, don't need a catastrophe-waiting-to-happen (Marino) lurking on the field. I'm just disappointed and em...

Ah, the magic of blurred numbers... the digit 1 morphing into the digit 7... Glad Mr. Williams is now #87 --not 81. (I know I hadn't been drinking.) Of course all the numbers that really matter in this case is the blurred number of yards he zips and dances across on punt and kick returns. Go, Terry,...

BTW, it will be weird to see a player not named Geroy Simon (Williams) wearing #81... I'd forgotten that the number is not retired. I don't recall any Leo using it since Geroy. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

Absolutely agreed; SammyGreene and Hambone, this trade is only useful if they've determined that the issue was not ST blocking scheme. If indeed it turns out to be the issue, I can't see Terry Williams's skills making a worthwhile difference in the face of such a handicap. Boy oh boy, do I hope I'm ...

I'm not surprised to hear of this, and I'm quite happy about it, if indeed it comes to be. VA has always interested me as player in our league, and despite some of his failings, certainly is always entertaining out there on the playing field. An interesting fellow, and one whom teammates seem to get...

Roarke at Post Practice interview today: https://www.bclions.com/2022/08/22/nathan-rourke-aug-22-im-hopeful/ Thanks for the interview link. Good to see Nathan in a healthy frame of mind, engaging the media scrum in a fairly upbeat manner, but with a realistic eye addressing both the physical and ps...

Wishing Nathan a full recovery, however long it takes. He's young and has a long career ahead of him it would seem, wherever it takes him. If he remains in the Lions' den for an extended time, all the better. I'm thinking his play and his character will be an inspiration to Michael O'Connor. I look ...
